Chapter 681: Easily Slaying the Divine King
After Pu Zhijian understood that Ding Huan was the "Mr. Huan" mentioned by the God race, he wasn't disappointed but rather more exhilarated.
What level of cultivation did Ding Huan possess? He could take down a mid-stage Divine King; once Ding Huan ascends to Divine King himself, conquering Unification God Ancestor would probably be done with ease!
Moreover, he had no ties with that Unification God Ancestor.
But now he was acquainted with Ding Huan.
Only a fool would place their hopes on the intangible Unification God Ancestor and disregard the boundless potential of Ding Huan right before their eyes.
In merely a brief moment, Pu Zhijian made up his mind to forge good relations with Ding Huan and Mo Changcan.
These two individuals were geniuses.
To capture several Divine Kings all at once, besides the seven-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array, Ding Huan also laid out a Divine Clan Gene Slaughter God Array.
Within the Divine Array, Ding Huan, Mo Changcan, and Pu Zhijian occupied a corner each.
If three people came, then each would have one to deal with.
If more than three came, then everyone would follow Ding Huan's lead on whom to attack first, and all would attack together, dealing with one before proceeding.
One could only say Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot was too swift; the trapping array was set up and he waited for a full eight days before finally spotting three figures darting over.
Of the three rushing over, Ding Huan recognized just one — the one named Wudan Zi.
However, Pu Zhijian recognized the other two, one being Qian Ye, a level six Divine Array master of the God race, and an old acquaintance, King Kaiyi.
Pu Zhijian promptly relayed this information about the three to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan had planned to trap the trio as soon as they entered the array, but he didn't expect them to stop right outside his array.
"Wudan Zi, you're not deceiving us, are you?" It was Divine King Kaiyi speaking.
Wudan Zi snorted, "When I was serving the God race, where were you, Kaiyi? Why would I deceive you?"
Indeed, he wasn't lying.
If not for the appearance of the Tree Ancestor, Wudan Zi wouldn't have bothered acknowledging these God Race Divine Kings.
While he himself was a Divine King of the God race, he wasn't someone who thought he should sacrifice everything for the God race.
In his eyes, only the Tree Ancestor deserved his respect and service.
"If we can get the Tree Ancestor out this time, Wudan Zi, you will have the most credit," Qian Ye Divine King tried to smooth things over.
Kaiyi Divine King laughed heartily, "Even if the Tree Ancestor can't leave yet, if we can restore part of the Tree Ancestor's strength this time, it's a success for us."
Wudan Zi glanced around, puzzled.
He felt that Ding Huan should be ambushing them here, but upon arrival, he saw no trace of Ding Huan.
Could he have guessed wrong?
"Let's go, let's first go inside to see the Tree Ancestor…"
Wudan Zi finally stepped into Ding Huan's Trapping and Killing Divine Array, followed closely by Kaiyi Divine King and Qian Ye Divine King, both stepping into Ding Huan's Trapping and Killing Divine Array.
"Something's not right…."
Qian Ye Divine King was the first to sense that something was amiss.
Being a level six Divine Array master himself, despite Ding Huan's seven-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array being concealed by a seven-level Concealing Divine Array Pattern.
However, as soon as he stepped into the trapping and killing battlefield, he sensed it.
Qian Ye Divine King attempted to retreat immediately, but just as he started to move, a long halberd swept towards him.
Then the array closed in and locked, beams of slaughter array patterns bombarding the three Divine Kings of the God race.
Qian Ye Divine King was under Mo Changcan's assault.
As Mo Changcan made his move, Ding Huan and Pu Zhijian also sprang into action.
Ding Huan threw out several Array Flags, while his long blade in hand swung towards Wudan Zi.
Meanwhile, Pu Zhijian pounced towards Kaiyi Divine King.
Wudan Zi's heart sank, realizing it was indeed an ambush.
Being ambushed wasn't the worst part; the terrifying realization was being trapped within the enemy's Trapping and Killing Divine Array without detecting it beforehand.
By the time he noticed, he was already locked in the Trapping and Killing Divine Array.
Had it been an ordinary Trapping and Killing Divine Array, it might not have mattered, but this was a seven-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array.
Wudan Zi panicked, being locked in the Trapping and Killing Divine Array; after all, there might still be a chance to break out. As long as he escaped the array, he could get away.
Yet Qian Ye Divine King and Kaiyi Divine King's hearts sank completely.
They sensed the Genetic Slaughter Law specifically targeting the Divine Clan cultivators.
Not only did they feel this, but they were also certain that the slaughter law aimed at the Divine Clan cultivators here was even more potent than the one in the Great Star Wild Vein.
In the Great Star Wild Vein, the Genetic Slaughter Law could affect Divine Kings but couldn't lock them down.
They had been close to it, even able to break free of its restraint.
But here, they distinctly felt the Gene Slaughter Law thoroughly locked their vital essences.
Even if the other party didn't attack, they were already in grave jeopardy; and now the opponent, assisted by the slaughter law, was executing lethal blows on them.
Whether they could survive or not was uncertain even in their own hearts.
Even more daunting was the fact that this was a seven-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array.
Clearly, this array was set by Mr. Huan of the Human Tribe.
Mr. Huan was a Human Tribe Unification God Ancestor; even without this Trapping and Killing Array, killing them would be as easy as flipping a hand, let alone with such an array?
"Mr. Huan, our God race has already made peace with the Human Tribe, you can't harm us," Kaiyi Divine King backed down, thinking first of pleading for Mr. Huan's mercy.
Qian Ye Divine King felt a surge of despair within. He was indeed a level six Divine Array master, but he'd witnessed the arrays Mr. Huan set up.
Now trapped in Mr. Huan's array, unless he stopped, they were dead for sure.
"Ding Huan, I was just accompanying the God race Divine Kings; you can't strike at me…"
Wudan Zi felt the deadly aura from Ding Huan's long blade sweeping towards him, causing his heart to tremble.
The scene of Ding Huan suppressing Feng Chuanxing involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Even knowing Ding Huan was only a World God, he couldn't help but feel terrified in his heart.
A massive Dan Ding was summoned by him; he only hoped to escape this Trapping and Killing Divine Array.
Boom!
The long sword struck the Dan Ding, causing the Dao Rhythm to explode in the sky.
Wu Danzi clearly felt that his Divine Essence was somewhat stagnated, and his Divine Will became sluggish.
He was doomed at this rate.
Wu Danzi knew that this battle absolutely could not be prolonged; he must escape at the earliest opportunity.
A spray of Essence Blood erupted, and the Dan Ding above Wu Danzi's head transformed into countless Ding shadows.
These Ding shadows gathered together and instantly condensed into a colossal Ding, which descended from the sky, nearly tearing apart the space in this area.
Ding Huan didn't care at all about the giant Ding falling on him; his hand effortlessly swung the long sword again, releasing a Sword Curtain.
He would not give Wu Danzi any chance.
The Sword Curtain hung from the Void, forming a suspended river.
The suspended river descended, filled with a sense of death and Reincarnation Dao Rhythm.
Death had seized Wu Danzi, and terror grew in his eyes.
Because his gigantic Dan Ding was growing smaller and his Divine Essence was becoming more stagnated.
It wasn't that he couldn't defeat Ding Huan; it was because this was Ding Huan's territory.
Ding Huan fought without any martial ethics, not only arranging the Slaughter Law against Divine Clan cultivators but also constraining him with strangling spatial methods.
Boom!
The Sword Curtain resembling a suspended river struck Wu Danzi's Dan Ding, sending it flying away.
Wu Danzi's Domain was similarly torn apart by Ding Huan's Domain at this moment, causing Wu Danzi to spray Blood Arrows and be thrown backward.
One Void strangling Blade Light after another tore through Wu Danzi, creating one Blood Mist after another.
Wu Danzi stared in horror at the suspended river; after it had sent his Dan Ding flying, it did not weaken but became clearer.
Within the Sword Curtain, he saw the Netherworld Return Road.
The Netherworld Return Road continuously extended, completely trapping him within, yet he could not struggle free.
His vitality was ceaselessly stripped away by the Slaughter Law, and he couldn't muster his Divine Essence.
"Ding Huan, stop, attacking me only benefits the God race..."
Wu Danzi screamed desperately.
He didn't want to die; no matter how much he admired the Tree Ancestor, he wasn't willing to die for it.
The Netherworld Blade Curtain fell completely, bringing a Blood Mist that tore Wu Danzi in two.
Ding Huan sighed; Wu Danzi was too weak.
His Netherworld Saber Seal was not displayed completely, and not even the Netherworld Blade Valley erupted, yet Wu Danzi was slain.
The Dao Rhythm of slashing the Netherworld had merely just begun to activate.
It seemed that under the seventh-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array and the Divine Clan Gene Slaughter Principle, a Divine King like Wu Danzi was insignificant.
Fortunately, he did not set up the Poison Dao Law; otherwise, he wouldn't even need to act.
One Law after another was waved by Ding Huan, causing the Dao Rhythm in Wu Danzi's space to fluctuate continuously, as if something was about to be torn open.
After dozens of breaths, a space suddenly appeared before Ding Huan.
Wu Danzi's Primordial Spirit looked in horror at this space.
This was clearly his World Space, yet he had no ability to control it himself.
"Mr. Ding, please show mercy; I'm willing to surrender my Soul Seal."
Wu Danzi's Primordial Spirit screamed desperately.
He was an Alchemy Dao powerhouse; as long as his world existed, he had the chance to recover.
Even if worst came to worst, he could carry his memories into Reincarnation.
Now that Ding Huan opened his world, he was completely doomed.
Unfortunately, with a flick of Ding Huan's hand, everything in his world was swept away by Ding Huan.
A flame descended upon his Primordial Spirit.
Wu Danzi let out a despairing howl and vanished completely.
After killing Wu Danzi and opening Wu Danzi's world, only then did he see Pu Zhijian blasting down Kaiyi Divine King.
Pu Zhijian's strength was initially not weaker than Kaiyi Divine King.
Adding the seventh-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array and the Slaughter Genes against Divine Clan cultivators here.
If it weren't for Pu Zhijian's considerable wariness of Kaiyi Divine King, he would have long dealt with him.
"Let me help you open the world."
Seeing that Mo Changcan had suppressed Qian Ye Divine King but hadn't slain him yet, Ding Huan knew it was unrealistic to rely on Mo Changcan to help Pu Zhijian open Kaiyi Divine King's world.
So he took action, freely waving out Space Laws.
Pu Zhijian watched Ding Huan's actions in shock.
Wasn't it said that only Mo Changcan could open Divine King worlds?
Why did Ding Huan seem more skilled?
This time, it took even less time; just a few breaths, and Ding Huan had torn open Kaiyi Divine King's world.
Pu Zhijian quickly swept away everything within Kaiyi Divine King's ring.
At this moment, Mo Changcan also pierced through Qian Ye Divine King's forehead with a halberd.
Having learned from a previous failure, Mo Changcan was even more cautious this time.
After about a dozen breaths, Mo Changcan tore open a space in front of him.
"Haha, Divine King world, Lord Mo finally opened it..."
Pu Zhijian finally understood; it turned out Ding Huan was the key to opening Divine King worlds.
