NOVEL WEB Chapter 850: 11th-Turn Saint
Standing before the territorial land she had carved out, Qingsha Taoist Ancestor did not appear as calm as she seemed on the surface.
To demarcate this Chaos Zone, she spent three thousand three hundred years.
When setting up the Cosmic Wall, she even invited several Seventh Step of the Great Dao powerhouses to lend a hand.
Because this Chaos Zone was carved out by her, it was entirely filled with the Monitoring Array Flags she set up.
As long as she wished, she could observe everything within this Chaos Zone at any time.
And now she was doing exactly that.
She tossed a main Array Flag down, and a massive Void Monitoring Screen appeared before her.
When Qingsha Taoist Ancestor saw that the Chaos Zone she carved out contained only a few hundred soon-to-be annihilated cultivator skeletons, without a trace of Ding Huan, she panicked.
This is impossible.
She thought Ding Huan would at least be able to hold out for half a month.
Half a month later, Ding Huan's resistance would reach its limit, and at that time, the chaotic aura would strip away all his Great Dao, filling the Heaven and Earth Rules of the Chaos Zone.
When a cultivator reaches their life limit, desperately struggling for survival, their Taoist Rhythm would be fully activated, and as they filled the Tao River, it would also reach its maximum capacity.
From the time Ding Huan left the Cosmic Void Square until now, not even an hour had passed. How could he have disappeared without a trace?
Qingsha Taoist Ancestor never imagined that Ding Huan could escape from this Chaos Zone.
Let alone Ding Huan, if she was thrown in here locked by a Dao Line, she could only wait for death.
Could it be that her subordinate didn't throw Ding Huan into the Chaos Zone?
Qingsha Taoist Ancestor sneered coldly in her heart and then threw out another Array Flag.
A monitoring screen appeared before her eyes.
Under the monitoring screen, Ding Huan walked into the Chaos Zone on his own, without any hesitation.
He didn't even plead for mercy.
Qingsha Taoist Ancestor immediately frowned.
Does this imply that Ding Huan has a way to survive in the Chaos Zone? Or even a way to escape the Chaos Zone she carved out?
How could this be possible?
She wasn't surprised if Ding Huan survived for a short time within the Chaos Zone.
What puzzled her was, having entered her carved-out Chaos Zone, how Ding Huan then vanished.
This Chaos Zone was carved out with the Cosmic Wall by her.
Man-made Cosmic Walls are certainly not as good as those formed naturally with Heaven and Earth Law Fragments.
Even so, to pass through the Cosmic Wall quickly requires a cultivation even stronger than hers.
Otherwise, a Cosmic Pearl would be needed.
Even assuming Ding Huan had a Cosmic Pearl, with his cultivation and strength, it would still take several years to reach the Cosmic Wall.
In those several years, numerous Ding Huans would have been corroded by chaos.
No matter how much Qingsha Taoist Ancestor racked her brains, she couldn't figure out how Ding Huan disappeared without a trace.
...
As soon as Ding Huan rushed out of the Cosmic Wall, he realized he was wrong.
The vast and immense chaotic aura crushed over him, causing Ding Huan's bones to crack instantly, and his flesh also began to show signs of collapse.
Not only that, but his Great Dao also began to disintegrate.
Ding Huan was terrified.
If this continued, how was he supposed to survive?
Previously, the chaotic places he had encountered, including the aura of the Chaos Zone carved out by Qingsha Taoist Ancestor, were entirely different from this true chaotic place.
No, this wasn't even considered the true Chaos Zone.
There were still some mottled Dao Principles here, likely remnants from where Qingsha Taoist Ancestor constructed the Cosmic Wall.
In a place that wasn't a pure Chaos Zone, he was about to be annihilated. In a true Chaos Zone, how would he have any chance of survival?
Ding Huan frantically operated the Great Universe Technique, trying to assimilate the chaos into his own Circulation as his bones and flesh were on the brink of collapse.
Unfortunately, the speed at which the chaotic aura annihilated his Great Dao was too rapid; he couldn't even maintain his own Dao Domain, let alone construct a complete Great Universe Technique Circulation.
Having barely managed to escape to the Chaos Zone, Ding Huan wasn't willing to perish just like that.
He immediately attempted to enter his own Cosmic World.
He soon discovered that in this Chaos Zone, he couldn't control his own Great Dao or enter his Cosmic World.
Under such chaotic suppression, there was nothing he could do but wait for death.
"Crack!" His breastbone was crushed by the chaos, snapping directly.
The broken bone pierced into his lungs, causing him to feel waves of suffocation.
This suffocation wasn't caused by the bone piercing but by the oppressive chaos.
All his techniques seemed to vanish in this Chaos Zone.
Ding Huan's will struggled to connect with the Life Tree.
When a stream of vitality flowed like a clear spring into Ding Huan's body, he finally stabilized his flesh from further collapse.
His Great Dao also stopped being annihilated by the chaos.
But this was definitely not a long-term solution.
Ding Huan could sense the rapid decline of his Life Tree's aura; if this continued, it wouldn't take long for the Life Tree to perish.
With the vitality provided by the Life Tree, Ding Huan's Dao Domain stabilized, and his Taoist Rhythm also became steady.
The Great Universe Technique finally incorporated the chaos, constructing the first complete Taoist Circulation.
When Ding Huan sensed the faint Chaos Law Star River in his Great Dao World, he was so emotional he nearly cried.
He finally survived.
The vitality of the Life Tree also stabilized and no longer dispersed.
The Life Tree, which was originally ten thousand meters tall, has now fallen to just a thousand meters.
The vitality has also become languid and feeble.
And this, in such a short time.
Ding Huan struggled to calm his mind.
Continuing to comprehend and merge with all the Daoism within this Chaos...
All mottled Dao Principles were slowly discarded by Ding Huan, and the Chaos Law Star River of Ding Huan's Great Dao World shaped from obscurity to having a prototype.
Due to the Great Universe Technique's circulation, Ding Huan gradually gained control of his own body.
The surrounding Chaos Space became increasingly expansive along with Ding Huan's comprehension of more Chaos Laws.
Ding Huan felt as though he had been freed halfway.
At this point, he could enter his Cosmic World with ease.
Naturally, he would not hide at this time.
Having finally comprehended the real Chaos Law and formed his own Chaos Law Star River, how could he miss such a good opportunity?
Ding Huan walked step by step towards the deep Chaos.
As Ding Huan ventured deeper into Chaos, he felt the surrounding mottled Dao Principles thinning until they vanished completely.
He was thoroughly enveloped by Chaos, with chaotic aura around him.
Fortunately, he already possessed his own Chaos Law Star River, allowing him to carve out a piece of free space engulfed by Chaos without mottled Dao Principles.
Having comprehended the Chaos Law here, Ding Huan seemed to have become one with this chaos.
The Chaos Law Star River in the Great Dao World was slowly perfected from a prototype and continually expanded.
One by one, Chaos Laws were comprehended and merged by Ding Huan, strengthening and perfecting his Chaos Law Star River.
At this moment, Ding Huan felt like an unawakened seed buried deep underground, slowly germinating, then bursting through the earth and feeling the first ray of sunlight, beginning to grow wildly.
He vaguely understood, Chaos and normal space were not so different.
What differed was, few could comprehend the Chaos Laws within Chaos.
Much like mortals cannot breathe in deep water because they can't understand how to adapt to the survival laws of deep water.
Ding Huan did not take out any Divine Spirit Veins.
The Chaos Primordial Qi within Chaos was the purest.
However, ordinary people could not even survive here, let alone absorb Chaos Primordial Qi from within Chaos.
Ding Huan had already established the foundation to survive here as he improved his Chaos Law Star River within Chaos.
Now, he absorbed pure Chaos Primordial Qi, which was much more effective than Chaos Divine Spirit Veins.
...
Ding Huan's disappearance was like a drop of water in the ocean, causing no ripple in the Great Universe.
But Qingsha Taoist Ancestor was seemingly driven insane.
She desperately captured cultivators of various attributes, throwing them into her Domain to fill the Dao River.
The more cultivators she threw in, the faster the Dao principles of this separated Chaos Zone would be perfected.
Once the Dao principles of this Chaos Zone are completely perfected, the mottled chaotic aura will vanish, forming a true domain.
Others merely regarded Qingsha Taoist Ancestor's madness with disdain, paying no heed.
Ke understood Qingsha Taoist Ancestor's motives, she aimed to enter the territory quickly in search of Ding Huan's remains.
With Ding Huan's cultivation level, the world would collapse upon his demise in the Chaos Zone.
No matter how Ding Huan's world crumbles, the Chaos Treasure will not be destroyed due to Ding Huan's world collapse.
Qingsha Taoist Ancestor only coveted the possible Chaos Treasure that Ding Huan might possess.
Understanding Qingsha Taoist Ancestor's intentions, Ke immediately departed from the Great Universe.
He was once a Taoist Ancestor himself.
Clearly, Qingsha Taoist Ancestor's madness indicated she hasn't captured Ding Huan.
Qingsha Taoist Ancestor failing to capture Ding Huan might lead her to seek him again, should he stay and wait for her whims?
Ke suspected that Ding Huan was another cultivator practicing his own Dao.
The two who once wreaked havoc in the Great Universe were both cultivating their own Dao.
One of them had even killed his son, Yin Yuan.
For someone like Ding Huan, if you can't kill him, best to steer clear.
Because once Ding Huan proves his Dao and attains eternity, that would be a nightmare.
This was not from hearsay but based on his own experience.
...
As Ding Huan became ever more adept at cultivating in Chaos, his strength surged madly.
Ding Huan thought that when his Chaos Law Star River was perfected, he would prove his Dao as an Eleven-Turn Saint.
Even Ding Huan himself did not foresee that the first to be perfected was the Vitality Law Star River.
He had consistently focused on comprehending and perfecting the Chaos Law Star River, yet unexpectedly, before it was completed, the Vitality Law Star River was fully formed.
The Vitality Law Star River exuded abundant Vitality Dao Rhythms, making the Life Tree flourish once again.
From a thousand to ten thousand meters seemed but an instant, and beyond ten thousand meters, the Life Tree still did not stop, surging directly to twenty thousand meters, then thirty thousand meters...
Reaching a hundred thousand meters.
The rich vitality afforded Ding Huan an additional prototype of a Law Star River in his Tao Sea of Consciousness...
Before Ding Huan had a chance to comprehend what Law Star River it was, the shackles of cultivation were torn open.
Vast Taoist aura surrounded Ding Huan.
Billions of laws emerged.
He had achieved Eleven-Turn Saint.
(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
