As soon as Xin Changkong arrived, the Breaking Tribulation Blade behind Ding Huan felt Ding Huan's intense killing intent, and the hilt vibrated with a hum.

Xian Qingan's face instantly turned as pale as paper when he saw Xin Changkong; he knew very well why Xin Changkong was here.

"Xian Qingan greets Senior Xin." Xian Qingan almost knelt on the ground.

Not only Xian Qingan, but Jia Fan, who had just watched Ding Huan tear open the world and take things away, seemed to forget the earlier crisis and directly knelt on the ground.

Even Xiang Yuanfei, immersed in grief, turned deathly pale, trembling all over, seemingly unable to even bow in salute.

Ding Huan was very puzzled in his heart; he looked at Xian Qingan: "Master Xian, what is this about?"

At the same time, he was also puzzled as to why Xian Qingan knew Xin Changkong.

Xin Changkong ignored Xian Qingan and looked at Ding Huan: "Did the things you just took away include the Dao Pearl and Dao Pillar of the Great Dao Disk?"

Ding Huan also ignored Xin Changkong and once again said to Xian Qingan:

"Master Xian, if you have offended this person, even if you kneel and beg for a thousand years, they won't spare you.

If that's the case, why disgrace yourself by losing your dignity at the moment of death?"

Xian Qingan's body trembled slightly at Ding Huan's words, and he was startled out of his great fear.

Ding Huan was right; if Xin Changkong wanted to kill him, no amount of humility would have any effect.

Moreover, Xin Changkong would kill him anyway, in whatever manner he chose.

He stood up but did not wield a Magical Treasure, as he clearly understood that resisting Xin Changkong was meaningless:

"His name is Xin Changkong; he should be one of the powerful beings born with the World of Gods..."

Xin Changkong chuckled and lifted his hand towards Xian Qingan.

A breath of death pressed down, and although Xian Qingan wanted to struggle, he was locked by Xin Changkong's Domain, unable to break free.

There was nothing but mockery and sarcasm in his eyes.

It was sarcasm directed at himself.

He, a Seventh Step of the Great Dao, called the Master of the Universe, prided himself as such, yet had no ability to resist in front of others.

To call himself the Master of the Universe was utterly ridiculous.

Xian Qingan closed his eyes, fully aware that his death would not be so easy; he still had to endure the horror of soul extraction.

Because Xin Changkong had always done so in the World of Gods.

But that oppressive feeling of death lasted just a fleeting moment before he felt his whole body relax, and then he heard Ding Huan's cold laughter:

"Sect Master Xian, just say whatever you want, Xin Changkong can't cover the sky with one hand."

Xian Qingan looked at Ding Huan in disbelief.

What was Xin Changkong's strength?

He was someone who could crush the entire World of Gods.

They called themselves the Master of the Universe as a joke, but Xin Changkong could indeed wear that title.

Ding Huan actually blocked Xin Changkong's Domain with his own Domain, letting him free?

He knew Ding Huan was powerful; otherwise, he couldn't have overpowered Lou Poyi and Jiang Jianwang, and destroyed the Longevity Palace.

But to be so strong as to confront Xin Changkong, it overturned his understanding.

Xin Changkong also looked at Ding Huan in disbelief.

Could he really withstand his Mortal Dao Domain?

Even though he wasn't using his full strength, that was still remarkable.

Was this person from the Chaos Center of the World of Gods?

No, everyone who could resist his Domain from the Chaos Center, he knew them all.

This person's Daoist Rhythm felt somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Xin Changkong frowned, pondering where he might have encountered Ding Huan before.

Before grasping Ding Huan's origin, he didn't want to act rashly.

Xian Qingan, at least a Master of one of the ten Daoist Sects in the World of Gods, instantly realized that this was his only chance to live.

Without hesitation, he retreated madly until he was standing behind Ding Huan and continued: "After this person came to the World of Gods, he destroyed the Ancient Yuan Dao Sect, the Gods Hall, the Gods Dao City, the Yue Dao City...

In every place he destroyed, all the cultivators were stripped of their souls and extracted of their Dao Spirits, not a single survivor. His arrival at my Seventh Step today, again, surely to destroy our Seventh Step..."

Xian Qingan almost spoke at lightning speed, expressing the terror of Xin Changkong.

When Ding Huan heard that it was Xin Changkong who had destroyed the Gods Dao City and slaughtered all the cultivators there, his killing intent soared to its peak in an instant.

Xin Changkong had destroyed the Gods Dao City; it would be strange if Hou Hen, Di He, and Shi Wanrong survived.

As he reached out his hand, the Breaking Tribulation Blade emitted a clear ringing as it fell into his hand.

"I remember now, it was you who once tore my hand seal with a single blade, fine, I was just worried about not finding you, and you actually delivered yourself to me."

Xin Changkong's gaze fell on the Breaking Tribulation Blade in Ding Huan's hand, and he finally recalled.

No wonder it felt so familiar; it was this person who had ruined his good deed.

Upon finding out that Ding Huan was the one who destroyed his hand seal long ago, Xin Changkong's killing intent likewise soared to the extreme.

Forging that hand seal was no simple matter.

It wasn't as people imagined, that he could extend his hand seal whenever he wanted.

He had his subordinates bring out a Dao Principle of his own before intercepting Mo Wuji to extend the hand seal.

As long as his Dao Principle merged with the hand seal, the Tao Domain would lock Mo Wuji, and his subordinates would easily capture him.

When Ding Huan destroyed his hand seal, he swore to extract Ding Huan's soul and spirit, torture him for a million years.

Today, when destroying the Seventh Step Taoist Sect, he unexpectedly encountered Ding Huan.

This overwhelming joy made him even forget about the Dao Pearl of the Dao Plate.

Xin Changkong's domain once again swept out in a frenzy, this time without holding back at all.

Similarly, Ding Huan showed no restraint. Against such a formidable opponent, even the slightest negligence could lead to eternal ruin.

Boom!

Their Daoist Rhythms exploded in the void, tearing apart space rules as terrifying Divine Ability Rhythms shattered the void in the collision of their domains.

The seven Dao steps of the Seventh Step heritage, handed down for millennia, turned to dust under the terrifying bombardment of these domains.

The Seventh Step Taoist Sect barrier also dissolved into nothingness at this moment.

The Seventh Step Sect, originally hidden within the swirling primordial energy, collapsed as its barriers were torn apart by the clash of the two domains.

Xian Qingan and the three others standing behind Ding Huan were not affected by the collision of these Divine Ability Rhythms, yet the suffocating sense of doom did not diminish in the slightest.

Jia Fan cautiously retreated, hoping to quickly escape while Ding Huan was battling Xin Changkong.

But just as he took a few steps, a hand seal descended upon him.

"Daoist..." Jia Fan looked towards Xian Qingan in despair, not expecting that Ding Huan would spare him, only to be slapped to death by Xian Qingan, the Dao Master he relied on.

At the moment of his death, Jia Fan felt only endless regret.

If only he had agreed to exchange the Dao Pearl with Ding Huan from the start.

Then he could have not only obtained a Post-Chaos Supreme Treasure but also a Chaos Dao Vein.

Now, he gained nothing and lost his life.

Xian Qingan, still focusing on Xin Changkong, slapped Jia Fan to death.

Regardless of Jia Fan imprisoning multiple prodigies of the Taoist Sect, just offending Ding Huan was enough for him not to spare Jia Fan.

Whether or not Ding Huan could contend with Xin Changkong.

The fact that Ding Huan could use his domain to oppose Xin Changkong's power, made him undoubtedly one of the top existences in the World of Gods.

Such a person, the Seventh Step would do anything to curry favor with, how could they afford to offend?

Perhaps everyone would die today, but what if? What if he survived?

Seeing his Mortal Dao domain unable to suppress Ding Huan, Xin Changkong's eyes burned intensely.

He hadn't expected, after emerging again, to encounter a powerhouse like Ding Huan.

Furthermore, although Ding Huan hadn't yet wielded his Breaking Tribulation Blade, the aura of that blade was undoubtedly a Chaos Treasure.

With a wave of his hand, a purple long staff appeared in his grasp.

The Dao Rhythm flowed along the staff, clearly marking it as another Chaos Treasure.

"You are worthy of my full power. Before I make my move, I have a question for you. Why did you stop my hand seal back then?"

Though Xin Changkong wanted to tear Ding Huan limb from limb, he was a peerless expert who also respected strength.

If it were any other cultivator, he wouldn't even bother asking such a question.

Because he would simply conduct a Soul Search.

But with Ding Huan, he wasn't so sure.

Ding Huan's domain could contend with his own, and if Ding Huan wanted to escape, perhaps he really couldn't stop him.

So before the fight began, he needed to know clearly.

He was worried that Ding Huan might escape.

By asking now, he could still think of a way to lock Ding Huan's domain space.

"Before killing you, I also have a question. Why did you destroy so many Taoist Sects and Tao Cities in the World of Gods?"

Likewise, Ding Huan did not rush to make a move.

The longer the delay, the more advantageous it was for him.

He knew Xin Changkong was trying to lock his domain space to prevent him from escaping.

Ding Huan merely chuckled, never having thought of escaping, and besides, Xin Changkong was strong, but dreaming of locking his domain space was futile.

He was similarly planning how to strip away Xin Changkong's Mortal Dao Law.

So although it seemed like their domains had merely collided, in reality, they had long been fighting on the Great Dao.

Next, they would see whose actions were quicker.

If Xin Changkong managed to lock Ding Huan's domain space first, he would certainly strike with thunderous force without hesitation.

If Ding Huan managed to strip away Xin Changkong's Mortal Dao Law first, he wouldn't drag it any longer either.

"Because I have a daughter, Xin Xi Er, who was bullied by these Taoist Sects and Tao Cities, and I won't let anyone who bullied my daughter Xin Xi Er go. Now it's your turn to answer my question."

Xin Changkong spoke calmly, yet Xian Qingan listened in shock.

Xin Changkong's daughter, Xin Xi Er, was the actual steward of the Divine Trade Building.

Xin Xi Er was doing business with various Taoist Sects and Tao Cities, naturally, there would be haggling.

To think that in Xin Changkong's eyes, all of this was evidence of his daughter being bullied?

How could there be someone so unreasonable in the world?

Only Ding Huan understood that Xin Changkong's true intention was to kill all the cultivators who had interacted with his daughter, Xin Xi Er, to prevent the leak of his Human Mortal Path.

Ding Huan mocked, "I can answer one more question for you: First, because you attacked my friend, I naturally had to strike at you.

Second, your daughter cultivates the Human Mortal Path, which Mr. Huan has seen; killing everyone in the World of Gods won't do you any good."

Previously, if Xin Changkong could still calmly find a way to lock Ding Huan down, upon hearing Ding Huan say he had seen the Human Mortal Path skill, Xin Changkong was utterly unhinged.

(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
