Chapter 925: Try It Then—Go Ahead and Make a Move

Ding Huan didn't wait until the tenth day. On the fifth day of setting up the barrier, he sensed Ku Xin Ren arriving.

Ding Huan sneered inwardly; he wanted to see where Ku Xin Ren could possibly escape to today.

The reason he couldn't kill Ku Xin Ren back then was because Ku Xin Ren was genuinely hard to kill.

This fellow cultivated a dark-attribute art and could merge with the darkness anytime, anywhere.

Even finding him was difficult, let alone killing him.

Only now, he could condense dark Dao Laws at any moment, and his inner world even contained a river of stars formed from dark Laws.

He wanted to see where Ku Xin Ren could possibly flee to.

Although the barrier wasn't fully set up yet, Ding Huan believed that dealing with a few ants like Ku Xin Ren, he didn't even need the barrier.

The moment the flying ship Ku Xin Ren was riding stopped at the Void Square of Blue Star Divine Land, Ding Huan landed on the Void Square.

He didn't go intercept that flying ship, nor did he sweep his divine sense over it.

In Ding Huan's eyes, once they arrived at this Void Square, their lives were no longer their own.

Although he hadn't set up a barrier at the Void Square, he had long since deployed a Trapping-Killing Dao Formation.

This was just in case.

"Star Lord."

Ni Chongtian, who had been about to step forward and interrogate, hurried over to Ding Huan and saluted.

Ding Huan waved his hand: "Take the people and withdraw. It's Ku Xin Ren. Staying here is useless for you."

"Yes." Ni Chongtian clenched his fists; he wished he could immediately charge up and take out

Ku Xin Ren.

Fortunately, he still had his rationality; he knew that if he went up, he probably wouldn't even count as delivering himself as a dish.

"What a fine place." The first man to step off the flying ship blurted out excitedly the moment his divine sense landed on Blue Star Divine Land.

Following behind him, Ku Xin Ren said: "Senior Che, how could I possibly deceive you? Over the years I've visited many remnant Star Lands.

A place with such perfectly complete Heaven and Earth Laws as Blue Star Divine Land, this is truly the first time I've seen it. It will absolutely satisfy all your requirements."

Walking behind Ku Xin Ren was a golden-faced man. Hearing Ku Xin Ren's words, he let out a hehe laugh:

"Senior Che, actually Blue Star Divine Land has another secret; I'm afraid even Brother Ku hasn't noticed it."

"What secret?" Ku Xin Ren asked.

"The Heaven and Earth Laws of Blue Star Divine Land are perfecting themselves every moment. Not only that, the Laws are still elevating.

I dare say that in another stretch of time, Blue Star Divine Land might even be able to prove Dao to the World-Generating Realm, and then perfect itself further to prove Dao to the Creation Realm…"

Ding Huan was certain this fellow was Zhu Xingchan, the master of Jin Guanghai Sect Master Zhen Lun.

Both Zhu Xingchan and Ku Xin Ren were only at the Dao-Creating Realm; Ding Huan didn't take them seriously.

He was sizing up that fellow they called Senior Che. This fellow had a slender build and looked rather refined.

Two small mustaches connected into a single straight line, which did lend him some personality.

Most critically, this fellow's cultivation had actually reached the Seventh Step of the Great Dao.

Moreover, it was a Seventh Step of the Great Dao no weaker than Lan Xihe's, utterly unlike the weakling Seventh Step of Qing Sha and Feng Yu.

A Seventh Step of the Great Dao arriving at this low-level plane universe—what was he trying to do?

Hearing Zhu Xingchan's words, Senior Che's eyes lit up, seemingly also startled by this news.

Then he let out a hearty laugh, patted Ku Xin Ren, and said:

"If that's truly the case, then your contribution this time is enormous. I, Che Lingzi, will certainly not treat you poorly. Rest assured, I guarantee you'll be able to easily prove Dao to the Creation Realm."

"Ding Huan?" In his excitement, Ku Xin Ren swept his divine sense outward, only then spotting Ding Huan, and blurted out in shock.

After the surprise came intense excitement: "Haha, Ding Huan, do you know who is the person I most wanted to see?

After I proved Dao to Eternal Life, the first person I thought of was you."

Hearing Ku Xin Ren's words, Che Lingzi also directed his divine sense toward Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's cultivation didn't seem particularly strong, but his Dao resonance was fairly well-rounded; he must have cultivated here, so his Great Dao was quite compatible with this Star Land.

"Who is this?" Che Lingzi also walked toward Ding Huan.

"Senior Che, this person has a pile of supreme treasures on him. Back when I was in closed-door cultivation, he ambushed me and drained away all my attribute Divine Spirit Veins, including a Dao Vein among them.

I reckon that Dao Vein has probably been squandered by him by now. The Blue Star Academy I mentioned was established by this very person. I heard it was he who used a top-grade supreme treasure to repair Blue Star Divine Land."

Ku Xin Ren knew that now that he'd run into Che Lingzi, the good things on Ding Huan wouldn't be his to claim.

He simply started talking nonsense; as long as Ding Huan was killed, that was enough.

Hearing Ku Xin Ren's words, Che Lingzi locked down Ding Huan directly with his domain.

Ding Huan mocked: "Ku Xin Ren, not bad at all, your physical body collapsed. Not only have you recovered your body so quickly, you've even proven Dao to Eternal Life—truly remarkable, truly remarkable.

Scared me to death. How on earth did you prove Dao to the Eternal Life Realm?

Ding Huan even clapped a few times.

"Brother Ding, old Guan here to help out." Guan Huan's voice arrived just in time.

Following that, Guan Huan and Qiao Qianhe landed on the Void Square.

Che Hongzi's gaze fell on Guan Huan and Qiao Qianhe, and he immediately narrowed his eyes.

These were actually two Creation Realm cultivators. No wonder Ding Huan hadn't paid them the slightest heed, spoke so arrogantly, and showed not a trace of fear.

"You are Ding Huan?" Che Lingzi naturally didn't care about Guan Huan and Qiao Qianhe, and instead fixed his gaze on Ding Huan once more.

In his eyes,

Creation Realm cultivators and mortals were on the same level—both within the range he could swat to death with a single slap.

What he cared about was how Ding Huan had repaired Blue Star Divine Land.

He had seen people repair broken Star Lands before, and more than once.

He had never seen anyone who, after repairing a shattered star continent, could also continuously perfect and elevate its celestial laws.

He wanted to know whether he could strip away the treasure Ding Huan used to repair a world.

Such a treasure is undoubtedly extraordinary.

Ding Huan ignored Che Hongzi.

Che Hongzi's strength should be roughly equal to Lan Xihé's, but far behind Qu Qu Beige—he didn't care about this guy at all.

Seeing Ding Huan say nothing, Che Hongzi smiled faintly: "Long ago, I had a pavilion called Jinluo Pavilion; later, some people, believing themselves powerful, kept smashing my pavilion."

After the Great Calamity, my Jinluo Pavilion vanished entirely."

I then swore that anyone who dared destroy my Jinluo Pavilion would be flayed, stripped of their soul, and killed for thousands upon thousands of years."

I don't want your Blue Star Divine Continent, and I won't even kill you."

All I ask is that you help me build the largest Jinluo Pavilion on the Blue Star Divine Continent—you become its gatekeeper. How about it?"

Of course, if you refuse, it's the same as destroying my Jinluo Pavilion—what do you think I'll do to you?"

Ding Huan said calmly: "Take off your pants and let me see if your ass is whiter than your face."

Che Hongzi heard Ding Huan's words and showed not the slightest anger.

Any other person, on the tiny Blue Star Divine Continent with two Dao Transformation experts as backing, would likely speak just as arrogantly.

"You'll agree," Che Hongzi said, his domain sweeping toward Ding Huan.

Not only that—he pulled Guan Huan and Qiao Qianhe behind Ding Huan into his own domain as well.

Soon he sensed something was wrong.

No matter how far his domain extended, it seemed utterly unable to affect Ding Huan.

As for the two Dao Transformation cultivators behind Ding Huan, his domain couldn't even reach them.

Che Hongzi's face instantly changed.

Ding Huan was undoubtedly a cultivator whose strength was no lesser than his own—perhaps even greater.

"Old Guan, go capture these two lofty Dao Perfection experts and nail them to the Void Plaza to burn their souls for ten thousand years."

"Anyone who dares to be arrogant on my Blue Star Divine Continent must learn the cost."

Ding Huan's voice was as calm as if he were mentioning an ordinary matter.

Guan Huan had already stepped forward, raising his hand to grasp Zhu Xingchan.

Zhu Xingchan clearly saw Guan Huan's palm imprint coming, yet could not resist in the slightest.

Guan Huan was a true Dao Transformation expert, while Zhu Xingchan had barely achieved Creation Path in a low-level realm.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have teamed up with Ku Xinren and Chang Feiyang to confront Ku Ya, only to be wounded and flee.

"Master Che, save me…"

When Zhu Xingchan felt his escape blocked by Guan Huan's domain, he panicked.

Qiao Qianhe moved a fraction slower—Ku Xinren had already vanished.

Ku Xinren, seeing Guan Huan seize Zhu Xingchan while Che Hongzi did nothing, realized something was wrong.

Whatever the reason, he'd flee first.

"Ding Daofriend, I—"

Che Hongzi's face flushed red.

He and Guan Huan had moved simultaneously—Guan Huan had already locked Zhu Xingchan in his qi palm imprint, just inches from nailing him to the void.

Yet he hadn't even touched Ku Xinren's shadow—this humiliation was unbearable.

If he showed himself too weak, Ding Huan might refuse to take him along.

"No matter. He won't get away." Ding Huan spoke, reaching out and grasping the void—a shadow appeared in his palm.

As Ding Huan retracted his palm, the shadow within it solidified—none other than Ku Xinren.

Ku Xinren's face was deathly pale.

His regret was as vast as three rivers and five seas.

Che Hongzi's expression was off—he clearly hadn't restrained Ding Huan; instead, Ding Huan had moved against him.

What did this mean?

It meant Ding Huan's strength was likely no lesser than Che Hongzi's.

He had foolishly come to provoke Ding Huan.

Truly deserving of death.

Even Hou Hen, that old fox, was willing to follow Ding Huan—yet he, who once held a higher status than Hou Hen, hadn't realized this?

Ding Huan tossed Ku Xinren onto the ground: "This guy cultivates the Dark Dao—this Dao excels at escape."

"He once escaped from me before—but today is his last time."

"Ding Brother, I truly meant no harm. I am Ku Ya's ancestor, and an old friend of Emperor Hou Hen. Please, out of friendship, spare me this once."

"I, Ku Xinren, swear—if I dare to—"

Ding Huan didn't let Ku Xinren finish—he kicked him flying far away: "Don't disgust me. Weren't Ku Ya's grandfather and father killed by you?"

"You dare ask me to spare you for Ku Ya's sake? Don't worry—I'll make you burn here, your soul slowly scorching."

"Ding Brother, I didn't extend my domain to suppress you just now."

After Ding Huan dealt with Ku Xinren, Che Hongzi bowed to him, his tone now very courteous.

He implied that while Ding Huan acted against Ku Xinren, he had not taken advantage.

Ding Huan looked at Che Hongzi with disdain: "Go ahead—try it."
