Chapter 916: The Powerful Grindstone Core
The blade momentum of the Calamity-Breaking Saber in Ding Huan's hand gathered frantically, and his domain was also increasing at every moment, as if there were no upper limit at all.
Qu Beige, who had already been deeply wary of Ding Huan, stared at him in horror.
What kind of great Dao was this?
Ding Huan chuckled: "Go against you, Qu Beige? Your Qu Clan Dao Court was destroyed by me…"
"You're seeking death…"
Hearing Ding Huan's words, even though he had already guessed in his heart that Ding Huan was connected to the destruction of the Qu Clan.
Qu Beige still could not suppress that frenzied killing intent; the killing aura of the Universe Grindstone was more than twice as strong as before.
Beneath the violent killing space of the Universe Grindstone, Ding Huan seemed as if he could be ground into dust at any moment.
Instead of being alarmed, Ding Huan was delighted; this fellow had indeed been affected by the Slaughter Law.
Although the killing aura of the Universe Grindstone was much stronger than when it dealt with Lan Xihe, the killing momentum of the Universe Grindstone was clearly weakening.
It showed that Qu Beige, affected by his Slaughter Law, could no longer exert his full strength, perhaps not even half of it.
Even Lan Xihe, who lay severely wounded in the distance, stared at Ding Huan in shock.
What kind of divine ability domain was this?
Qu Beige's strength was clearly restricted; although Qu Beige's killing aura was frantically stacking up.
Lan Xihe could feel that Qu Beige's aura and divine ability Dao charm were rapidly weakening.
Under such circumstances, could she also handle Qu Beige?
Lan Xihe did not sense the gene Slaughter Law targeting the Qu Clan, and only assumed this was caused by Ding Huan's divine ability domain.
This made her feel a bit more wary of Ding Huan in her heart.
However, the gap between Ding Huan's strength and Qu Beige's was vast; she did not think Ding Huan could suppress Qu Beige.
How could Ding Huan hold back? The Calamity-Breaking Saber momentum had long since gathered.
A saber curtain tearing the horizon descended.
In the void, the saber curtain transformed into an endless, straight-down Yellow River Saber River.
Death pervaded this stretch of space.
Beneath the Yellow River Saber River, all the rules of heaven and earth were zeroed out; only death remained.
The third seal of the Seven Seals of Reincarnation, the Yellow River Saber Seal.
Boom!
The divine ability Dao laws of the Universe Grindstone collided with the Yellow River Saber River, and the Yellow River Saber River tore through the killing momentum of the Universe Grindstone again and again.
Qu Beige wanted to drive the Universe Grindstone once more, forcibly suppressing Ding Huan's Yellow River Saber River.
Yet the moment he drove his divine essence, he felt that deathly killing aura growing ever stronger within the great Dao.
If he did not curb it, he would be finished without Ding Huan even needing to act.
Qu Beige was so furious he was nearly going mad; if he simply couldn't win, so be it, but this feeling of being secretly plotted against filled him with extreme frustration.
Clearly, while he had been battling Lan Xihe, Ding Huan had already begun plotting against him.
That gene Slaughter Law targeting him must have been laid down while he was fighting Lan Xihe.
Qu Beige's great Dao operated frantically, and at the same time he burned his own essence blood without caring about the consequences.
Facing Ding Huan, this enemy who had destroyed his clan, even if his Dao foundation was damaged, he would not let him go.
All the Qu Clan disciples in the Small Heaven Market were wiped out; this not only severed the Qu Clan's incense lineage, but also meant to cut off his great Dao.
Although he cultivated the Great Planet Art, which specialized in cutting off all opportunities for life and star-continent survival.
His Great Planet Art also needed a foundation; one of his great Dao foundations was the great Dao inheritance.
A great Dao like the Great Planet Art would naturally not be passed on to outsiders, so it was always inherited within the Qu Clan line.
Ding Huan had destroyed the Qu Clan Dao Court he had established in the Small Heaven Market—did that not sever the inheritance of the Great Planet Art?
Clearly, his Calamity-Breaking Saber momentum was constantly tearing through the Universe Grindstone's killing momentum, and it seemed as if the next moment he could blast open the Universe Grindstone's treasure domain and lock onto Qu Beige's vitality.
Yet Ding Huan felt a sense of unease in his heart.
He could clearly sense that the gene Slaughter Law he had set against Qu Beige was being suppressed, and Qu Beige's aura was surging wildly.
The other party was burning essence blood and great Dao charm.
Ding Huan immediately thought of that Universe Grindstone grindstone core that had severely wounded Lan Xihe earlier.
When the Universe Grindstone grindstone core launched its sneak attack, there was not the slightest ripple of Dao charm.
Could this fellow be planning to use the grindstone core to sneak-attack him?
Even within his own domain, Ding Huan's body still swiftly sidestepped.
"Puh!"
A soul-tearing aura shot past his waist; Ding Huan knew he was still a fraction of a second too slow.
The grindstone core of the Universe Grindstone tore open a bloody gash at his waist.
Streaks of corrosive Dao charm rapidly flooded his entire body; Ding Huan felt his great Dao charm collapsing frantically, and his own domain and Calamity-Breaking Saber momentum were also weakening.
How fearsome.
The killing methods of Qu Beige's Universe Grindstone were somewhat similar to his gene Slaughter Law.
After being wounded by the Universe Grindstone grindstone core, his great Dao charm rapidly thinned, and his own Dao foundation was also collapsing.
If it could not be stopped in time, the collapse of his Dao foundation was right before his eyes.
No wonder Lan Xihe could barely move after being wounded by the grindstone core.
This grindstone core was not only insidious, it was truly terrifying.
However, Ding Huan's Great Universe Art was only one Zhou Tian, and this kind of Dao foundation collapse was stopped.
Whether it was the thinning of great Dao charm or the collapsing Dao foundation, both were a form of law-based divine ability.
The least effective thing against Ding Huan was law divine abilities.
Qu Beige using law divine abilities to scheme against him was truly blind.
This Mo Xin was genuinely powerful, not at all like an imitation treasure.
Even now he still didn't know how Mo Xin had unknowingly torn open his domain and grievously wounded him.
Whatever method had kept him from sensing Mo Xin's sneak attack, it proved his domain still needed further refinement.
Fortunately, he had sensed the danger ahead of time and dodged in time.
Otherwise he could very well have been cut clean in half at the waist.
It seemed Lan Xihe hadn't been cut in half at the waist before not because she had dodged, but because Qu Beige had never intended to kill her.
The Dao rhyme corroded by the Universe Grinding Wheel's Mo Xin rapidly recovered in Ding Huan.
On the surface, his great Dao rhyme still appeared to be wildly collapsing.
Not only was the Dao rhyme collapsing, his domain was growing thinner and thinner.
When the Universe Grinding Wheel's Mo Xin had ambushed him, he hadn't sensed it.
But after the ambush, if Mo Xin still wanted to escape his perception, that was absolutely impossible.
In just one Zhou Tian, the Universe Grinding Wheel's Mo Xin was caught by Ding Huan.
Then the Mo Xin within his domain was wrapped by his Dao rhyme; though still moving, it could be stopped at any moment.
Qu Beige's face was pale as paper. Using Mo Xin to ambush Ding Huan within his domain hadn't come without a price.
He hadn't expected anyone to be able to dodge his Mo Xin's ambush.
Fortunately, his Mo Xin had already wounded Ding Huan.
Anyone wounded by his Mo Xin could only wait for death.
Qu Beige was originally an extremely self-confident person, and even more confident in his Universe Grinding Wheel's Mo Xin.
So after Ding Huan was wounded, he continued to burn his essence blood.
Never give the opponent a single breath of respite — that was his creed in magical combat.
He had encountered people stronger than Ding Huan before, and hadn't they all in the end been killed by his desperate fighting?
He, Qu Beige, was still alive and well today.
So Qu Beige, even at the cost of severe damage to his Dao foundation, would seize this chance to finish off Ding Huan.
Facing Ding Huan's weakening domain, Qu Beige no longer had the slightest scruple and charged straight into it.
At a thought, the Universe Grinding Wheel's Mo Xin rapidly turned back.
Qu Beige had no intention of killing Ding Huan so easily; he wanted to grab Ding Huan and kill him inch by inch.
Without killing him for a million years, the hatred in his heart could not be appeased.
Hm, something's wrong.
Qu Beige's plan was for the Universe Grinding Wheel's Mo Xin to turn back and tear straight through Ding Huan's back.
But he found his Universe Grinding Wheel's Mo Xin seemed not to have returned, still within Ding Huan's domain…
Had his Mo Xin been bound?
Not good — Qu Beige felt his scalp go numb.
No matter how confident he was, he knew he had probably been tricked.
Ding Huan's injuries might not be that serious after all.
Qu Beige retreated frantically.
But Ding Huan's once-thin domain rapidly strengthened, the great Dao aura crushing over like floodwater bursting a dam.
Qu Beige sprayed out a blood arrow, green mist swirling around his whole body.
A dense aura of vitality wrapped around Qu Beige.
Ding Huan snorted coldly in his heart. No wonder he cultivated the Great Planet Art — turns out it could gather such dense vitality.
The Calamity-Breaking Blade's momentum surged explosively, its violent killing intent locking onto Qu Beige.
Within his domain, and he still wants to leave?
Ding Huan could even envision the scene of Qu Beige being severed by his Calamity-Breaking Blade and sent into reincarnation.
A brand-new blade-momentum Dao rhyme was caught by Ding Huan — the Dao rhyme aura of the Reincarnation Law fused with blade momentum.
Was this the Sixth Seal of the Seven Seals of Reincarnation, the Great Reincarnation Seal?
No, how could he possibly let this fellow go into reincarnation?
In Ding Huan's eyes, Qu Beige could only have both body and soul annihilated; such a person didn't deserve reincarnation.
"Boom!"
Ding Huan had only hesitated for an instant, and the Universe Grinding Wheel's Mo Xin he had locked down seemed to self-detonate.
His rock-solid domain was torn open, Qu Beige's body turning into a shad
ow about to burst out of Ding Huan's domain.
Ding Huan couldn't be bothered to think of anything else; the Calamity-Breaking Blade tore through the void.
Reincarnation! Reincarnation! Reincarnation!
Life is like a great dream, only within reincarnation.
You came to this world for reincarnation…
Blade-momentum Dao rhyme rolled on without end; within the blade-momentum space, all was the sound of reincarnation.
Ding Huan's hesitation had caused Qu Beige to self-detonate the Mo Xin, giving Qu Beige a slim chance to escape.
But the Great Reincarnation blade-momentum Dao rhyme pulled Qu Beige back once more, leaving him beneath the reincarnation blade momentum.
Pfft!
The blood mist exploded, and Qu Qu Beige's body was torn in half.
Ding Huan slammed both hands out, just about to tear apart Qu Qu Beige's world.
The Universe Mill detonated once more.
That terrifying aura of tearing forced Ding Huan to give up on rending Qu Qu Beige's world and withdraw.
After everything dispersed, the void black hole torn open by the Universe Mill's self-detonation still had not healed; streak after streak of void blade-light filled this stretch of space.
Ding Huan's expression was somewhat unsightly.
He knew that although Qu Qu Beige's physical body had been destroyed by him, the fellow had truly escaped.
It wasn't that he couldn't stop Qu Qu Beige from fleeing, but that his cultivation differed from Qu Qu Beige's by quite a margin.
Even though Qu Qu Beige's Dao was inferior to his, the Great Planet Art this fellow cultivated was likewise extremely powerful.
If he hadn't laid out the Qu Clan Gene Slaughter Law in advance, today he probably would have had no choice but to leave.
Qu Qu Beige was a venomous snake; once such a person got away, the future troubles would be end
less.
The upside was that even if Qu Qu Beige got away, to recover again would be unthinkable without a million years or so.
He controlled the Qu Clan Gene Slaughter Law, so in the future, no matter which plane he went to, he would first lay down the Qu Clan Gene Slaughter Law before doing anything else.
Apart from failing to kill Qu Qu Beige cleanly, the sixth seal of his Seven Seals of Reincarnation was also not yet perfected.
The reason was that his hesitation came from not yet thoroughly understanding the meaning of the Great Reincarnation within the sixth seal.
Add to that the silent, soundless invasion of the Universe Mill's mill-heart into the domain.
All of these made Ding Huan feel his own shortcomings.
It looked like it was time to find a chance to go into closed-door cultivation.
