Chapter 910: Great Thunder Art

Seeing Ding Huan ignore him, still pulling away the superior-grade Thunder Dao vein, Lei Chou fell silent.

After retrieving the superior-grade Thunder Dao vein, Ding Huan immediately summoned Jia Baihe and Yijie into the world.

Lei Chou was certainly not merely a bloodthirsty brute—he was also cunning.

His arrogance stemmed from being certain Ding Huan could not find him.

The other cultivators on the massive rock sighed in relief as they saw Ding Huan slowly step out of the rock's prohibition.

All of them inwardly lamented: Lei Chou had been arrogant enough, and now another even more arrogant one had appeared—how were they supposed to live?

Ding Huan moved extremely slowly, even pausing for a long time after exiting the rock's prohibition.

He was constructing a Void Barrier and a Void Imprisonment Array.

Lei Chou was no fool, yet he dared provoke Ding Huan despite clearly being no match—no one would act so boldly without considerable skill.

So Ding Huan suspected this fellow not only concealed himself but also possessed an extraordinary escape technique.

But this place was only this small.

Ding Huan put himself in Lei Chou's shoes: if he were outside and his opponent found him, his first move would be to flee into this massive rock.

After all, this place was only this small—outside the narrow void, there was only this massive rock.

The edges of the narrow void were all Cosmic Walls; Lei Chou had nowhere to escape.

Now, by placing barriers at the entrance prohibition outside the rock, he waited for Lei Chou to walk right into his trap.

After completing the barrier, Ding Huan no longer used his spiritual sense, nor even

the Illusory Eye.

The Dao Eye was merely its final form.

It had to be upgraded step by step—from Spirit Eye to Heaven Eye to Holy Eye.

Ding Huan's Illusory Eye had not yet reached the Dao Eye level.

In Ding Huan's view, if his spiritual sense could not detect something, it was either beyond his spiritual sense's level, or beyond its reach.

Either way, the Holy Eye could not perceive it.

Lei Chou's cultivation could not surpass Ding Huan's spiritual sense level—so it must be beyond its reach.

Many things eluded spiritual sense; what Lei Chou could achieve at this stage was merely transforming into a Dao Principle.

Had he not met Hou Yucheng earlier, he might have taken longer to realize this.

Now Ding Huan was ninety percent certain Lei Chou had transformed into a Dao Principle.

With Lei Chou's abilities, he could not transform into a Law or a Cosmic Rule.

The most he could do was manifest a Dao Principle of his own elemental Dao.

Even if one knew Lei Chou had become a Dao Principle, ordinary cultivators would still struggle to find him.

Or even if they found the Dao Principle he had transformed into, they could not harm Lei Chou.

If Dao Principles could be easily captured and comprehended, Dao advancement would not be so arduous.

This was Lei Chou's confidence.

So what if he couldn't beat Ding Huan? Could Ding Huan even capture him?

When Lei Chou sensed Ding Huan approaching, he paid him not the slightest heed.

To perceive his existence, one's cultivation must at least reach the Seventh Step of the Dao.

And even then, only if it involved the Cosmic Mysteries of the Dao—otherwise, even the Seventh Step

could not find him.

Unfortunately, he had met Ding Huan—the very being capable of perceiving Cosmic Rules and all Laws.

Now, Ding Huan could locate Lei Chou without relying on the Great Cosmic Art.

To eliminate this fellow quickly, Ding Huan cleanly constructed a Great Cosmic Art Zhou Tian.

Any Law, beneath his Great Dao Zhou Tian, had nowhere to hide.

A single Zhou Tian had already encompassed the entire space.

The Thunder Dao Principle Lei Chou had manifested became as glaring as a lightbulb beneath Ding Huan's Great Dao Zhou Tian.

Ding Huan sighed in wonder.

He had spoken with Hou Yucheng and knew Hou had transformed into a Dao Principle only after enduring a lifetime of reincarnation.

Only by comprehending the true essence of his own Dao during that lifetime could he achieve it.

This Lei Chou clearly had never reincarnated, yet he still managed to manifest a Dao Principle—specifically a Thunder Dao Principle—indicating his Dao was extraordinarily remarkable…

No, Lei Chou's Dao Principle was more a talent.

This Dao Principle was strange.

Lei Chou believed that by transforming into a Dao Principle, even if Ding Huan were stronger, he could never find him.

That was why he dared to threaten Ding Huan so brazenly.

But just now, why had he felt a sense of danger?

Had Ding Huan found him?

Lei Chou could not be certain whether Ding Huan had discovered him—he had never survived by luck.

So the instant Ding Huan moved, he vanished on the spot.

Sensing Ding Huan's Great Dao Seal, Lei Chou's body turned icy cold.

Ding Huan had truly found him—how was this possible?

Even if Ding Huan were a Thunder cultivator, he should not have been able to sense the Thunder Dao Principle Lei Chou had manifested.

Lei Chou knew he was in danger.

His greatest trump card was his ability to transform into a Thunder Dao Principle.

If the thunder-element Dao Laws he himself had derived couldn't escape Ding Huan's perception, then he could only rely on speed.

Lei Chou had just been thinking about how to use his speed to shuttle back and forth between the giant boulder and the outer cosmic wall when he felt a tremendous force slam into him.

"Boom!"

When Lei Chou fell to the ground, he had already reverted from his thunder-attribute Dao Laws back to his original appearance.

"A formation barrier—there's actually a formation barrier here…"

Lei Chou stared blankly at the restrictions outside the giant boulder.

He had passed in and out of this boulder's restrictions countless times and had never once encountered a formation barrier.

How could there possibly be a formation barrier today?

In just an instant, Lei Chou understood what was going on.

Ding Huan could actually set up formation barriers.

He finally understood why Ding Huan had come in unhurriedly and gone to open the formation barrier at the edge of the boulder.

Turns out the man himself was a powerhouse capable of setting up formation barriers.

He had assumed Ding Huan was relying on the Cosmic Bead.

Not good—he had to leave quickly, he was in danger.

Lei Chou grabbed a thunder spear and blasted it out.

"Boom!"

The violent thunder-attribute offensive Laws slammed into the formation barrier, Dao Rhythms exploded, Ding

Huan's hastily arranged formation barrier developed several cracks.

Lei Chou turned to retreat along the path he had come.

He knew that given the strength of this formation barrier, by the time he blasted through it, Ding Huan would have long since appeared beside him.

But the moment he turned, space seemed to suddenly lock up.

It's over—this is a killing-trapping formation.

Before Lei Chou could think of a way to break through this killing-trapping formation, a ferocious domain aura completely locked him down.

"Brother Ding, please spare me once. I'm willing to show the utmost sincerity. Not only that, I swear I will absolutely never oppose Brother Ding in this lifetime."

Lei Chou spoke extremely fast, reacting almost the instant he realized he was trapped.

"Oh, what sincerity are you offering?" Ding Huan's unhurried voice came through.

Lei Chou breathed a sigh of relief internally—as long as Ding Huan was willing to talk, things would be fine.

"Brother Ding, you also know that even if you kill my current physical body, I can still use my split soul to be reborn.

As the saying goes, it's better to dissolve an enmity than to entangle one. I apologize to Brother Ding for my earlier attitude. Not only that, I'm also willing to offer the Lei Ting Art…"

As Lei Chou spoke, he had already pulled out a scroll of skin.

Lei Chou was a good negotiator—first he stated his own advantage: the other party killing him would only be temporary, and would still create a feud.

Then he told the other party that he wanted to offer something as compensation.

The Lei Ting Art?

Ding Huan treated Lei Chou's words like air.

But when he heard the Lei Ting Art, Ding Huan was still startled.

This thing was absolutely a great killing weapon, no worse than the Great Destruction Art.

The Great Destruction Art was destructive in nature and generally inconvenient to use.

The Lei Ting Art was different—it was a Great Dao divine ability that could strike whoever you wanted to strike.

He just didn't know whether this kid's Lei Ting Art was the great one or the small one.

What Lei Chou took out was naturally the Lesser Lei Ting Art, not that he didn't have the Greater one, but the Greater Lei Ting Art was his greatest trump card—how could he possibly hand it over to someone else?

But the instant he pulled out the Lesser Lei Ting Art, the death saber momentum of the Calamity-Breaking Saber locked down every thread of his vitality.

"Brother Ding, you…"

Lei Chou's soul scattered in terror—had it been easy for him to cultivate to where he was today?

Even if he could be reborn through his split soul, how many resources and how much time would that consume?

Besides, his split soul was still in his Great Dao World.

If he was slain by Ding Huan in this place, even if he was reborn through his split soul, he would still be trapped in this place.

"This grandpa never once thought of letting you go—you're overthinking it…"

"Pfft!" The saber curtain of the Calamity-Breaking Saber split open Lei Chou's brow center, and at the same time, Ding Huan's hands rolled up billions of hand seals.

Streams of spatial Laws were torn apart by Ding Huan.

"Ding Huan, I won't let you off, and my family won't let you off either…" Lei Chou's voice seemed to come from hell itself, brimming with a kind of frenzied fury.

In his eyes, he, Lei Chou, was someone who could slay every existence.

But he, Lei Chou, could not suffer any harm.

His bloodline was nobler than others—this was a confidence ingrained in his bones.

"Wait until you get the chance to say it."

As Ding Huan spoke, his hands didn't stay idle either—he directly tore open Lei Chou's world.

"You can tear open my world?"

Lei Chou's Primordial Spirit was locked down by Ding Huan's saber momentum, now carrying an extreme

terror.

Before, only he had torn open others' worlds; now he had finally discovered someone who could also tear open his world.

"What do you think?" Ding Huan raised his hand and swept away everything in Lei Chou's world, then casually flung out streams of Dao Law hand seals once more.

Although the sweep of things away was only an instant, Ding Huan clearly saw the scroll of the Great Thunder Technique.

"Bloodline Soul Hunt, cut them all down…" Lei Chou's Primordial Spirit finally despaired.

He regretted it.

From the very first day he began cultivating the Dao, he had never once felt regret.

But today he regretted that he should never have provoked Ding Huan.

"Heh heh…"

Ding Huan let out a heh heh, too lazy to even answer Lei Chou.

Bloodline Soul Hunt? You're overthinking it. You've simply never seen methods more fearsome than Bloodline Soul Hunt.

Don't think this world only has you, Lei Chou, who knows how to kill, only you, Lei Chou, who is a ruthless man.

Others aren't ruthless — only because they are unwilling to be.

That doesn't mean they can't be.

Strand after strand of the gene-killing Law wrapped around Lei Chou's Primordial Spirit and flesh and blood, then fused together with the Bloodline Soul Hunt Law.

"Eh!"

Sensing Lei Chou's bloodline Dao root, Ding Huan let out a startled cry.

No wonder this fellow was so fearsome — turns out his aptitude could keep improving.

This fellow's original spirit root was no ordinary thunder-attribute spirit root; as his cultivation kept rising, his spirit root would keep improving along with it.

This great-Dao aptitude…

Truly extraordinary.

At this moment Lei Chou understood: Ding Huan wasn't merely using his Bloodline Soul Hunt method to wipe out all of Lei Chou's split souls and Dao intents — he also meant to wipe out every existence tied to him by blood.

Lei Chou still wanted to rage and curse, but a blade momentum swept down, and under that blade momentum all of Lei Chou's Primordial souls and physical body dissolved into nothingness.
