What is faith?
There are thousands of chaotic great daos, and any one of them has a reason to exist.
If someone possesses a compassionate heart, cannot bear to see their kin suffer, and leads those in hardship through the verge of extinction time and again.
Ultimately, those whom he saves will gain everyone's faith.
The faith of billions of living beings will catalyze the power of faith.
This dao is established.
This is a true path to heaven.
However, those who cultivate this dao will involuntarily consider their kin in this regard and cannot bear to see them suffer.
Once one cultivates the dao of faith, it is equivalent to being tied to the same chariot as their kin.
They will never be able to escape this life and will serve their kin for eternity.
But, it must be admitted, the progress on this path is undoubtedly rapid.
"Let's call it the 'tumor dao'."
Lietian, standing nearby, smirked.
What are they cultivating until now for?
The Dragon King seeks to carve out a new heaven for the Chaotic race to survive, while Lietian desires freedom.
And Chen Fan… also has his ultimate goal.
Once trapped in a certain place, their lives would be ruined.
The Sword Master felt a moment of awkwardness and could only reluctantly put away the dao of faith.
"Hmph."
The Dragon King was still displeased.
Fortunately, he retreated quickly, otherwise... he might have been assimilated by this dao.
At that time, his body would still be that of a Chaos Beast, but his heart would have become a human heart.
"Insidious villain."
The Dragon King cursed again before saying, "It's my turn."
Lietian and the Sword Master had each shared their benefits with everyone, and he would not be stingy.
A wisp of dao rhyme spread out, also a powerful dao rhyme.
The three immediately began to comprehend.
Finally, only Chen Fan remained...
"Is it my turn?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I have no dao rhyme to share, the foundation of the Life and Death Realm is too thin, but I have a scene to show you, and I believe you will be satisfied... Especially Sword Master, you must watch carefully."
As he spoke, Chen Fan's mind began to recall the scene of the Heavenly Cloud Sword cleaving through a hundred-foot great world.
The next moment...
Clang.
Within the small space, it was as if a sword cry erupted.
The instant the sword cry resounded, the expressions of the three changed simultaneously.
Then, an overwhelming sword intent descended from the heavens.
There was no violent aura, no world-shattering dominance, only... sharpness.
Boundless sharpness descended.
"Roar."
At this moment, the Dragon King's hair stood on end.
He felt the aura of death.
It was as if a peerless powerful being had unleashed a single sword strike from the unfathomably distant end of the long river of time.
This strike, transcending time and space, had arrived.
Boom.
The small space exploded.
The Dragon King's physical body instantly appeared, colossal as a mountain range, roaming the firmament.
The Dragon King activated his strongest defenses, preparing to meet this strike.
Lietian also made a grand movement.
"Lie Qingtian."
At this moment, Lietian directly tore open a spatial rift ten thousand zhang wide.
Zing, zing.
The Sword Master drew a sword from the chaos.
This sword, its dao rhyme shook the heavens.
The three stood ready, preparing to meet the next strike.
In their eyes, infinite divine light gleamed.
The sword intent, crossing through eons, finally descended.
All three eighth-rank beings, with supreme divine abilities, shook the heavens to meet this strike.
"Pfft."
However, in the next instant, all three spat blood.
They could not block this strike.
Rumble.
The Sword Master's strongest physical body instantly collapsed.
Lietian's grand rift was directly shattered.
The Sword Master's sword was broken.
The three were instantly slain.
...
Within the small space.
Chen Fan looked at the three who had fallen into deathly silence.
If he acted now, he could at least heavily wound all three, and killing them was not impossible.
The wills of the three had been taken away.
That's right, the scene just now was all an illusion.
He used the Yin-Yang Dao to reverse and unleash the strike that pierced the hundred-foot great world.
He suspected that the minds of the three were already beginning to die.
At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly let out a great shout: "Wake up."
Boom.
His voice was like thunder, waking the three from their deathly silence.
Their thoughts gradually returned.
The next moment, the three instantly turned around and their bodies tensed.
Their pale faces were covered in cold sweat.
The three looked at Chen Fan with great vigilance.
"Heh heh."
Chen Fan smiled and took a sip of the wine of the dao, "How was it? Does this scene compare to your dao rhymes?"
"..."
After a moment of contemplation, the Sword Master stood up.
He bowed to Chen Fan and said sincerely, "City Lord's gesture is too grand."
That strike allowed him to witness true brilliance.
For him, it was a tremendous opportunity.
Let alone the Sword Master, Lietian and the Dragon King also came to their senses.
"Thank you, City Lord."
"Thank you."
This gift was too substantial.
It was so great that the three felt a sense of unreality.
They had witnessed the strongest strike of their lives.
They might not understand its full implications now, but they remembered this sword strike, and in the future... they would surely gain greatly from it.
"Alright."
Chen Fan waved his hand, inviting the three to sit down.
Then he smiled and said, "That's it. We have gathered the two overlords this time to discuss matters."
"Opening the Lei Domain."
The Sword Master and the Dragon King thought of this simultaneously.
Then, the Dragon King said, "The Lei Domain cannot be opened carelessly, otherwise, the Great Bright Domain will surely attack."
The Lei Domain and the Great Bright Domain had irreconcilable grudges.
"Alas."
Lietian sighed, "The Lei Master was too ruthless back then. From the seventh rank onwards, he constantly bullied the Bright Lord."
This matter was indeed regrettable: "Regardless of the location or occasion, as long as the Lei Master was in a bad mood, he would definitely go to the Bright Lord and beat him up without restraint. This situation only stopped when the Lei Master disappeared."
Lietian was from the Lei Master's era.
He had even fought against the Lei Master.
He understood this feud too well.
"What kind of being was the Lei Master... No... Chaos Beast," the Dragon King asked.
"The Lei Master,"
Lietian thought for a moment before saying, "To summarize in one sentence: peerlessly overbearing."
That was enough.
"Why did he beat up the Bright Lord?"
The Sword Master was curious, "At the Great Emperor realm, if there's a feud, they would settle it. Repeated humiliation seems excessive."
"I don't know either."
Lietian shrugged, "But there's a rumor, I don't know if it's true."
"What rumor?"
"Some say that when the Bright Lord was young and roamed the chaos, the first time he encountered the Lei Master, he once publicly humiliated the Lei Master in front of everyone."
"He said: 'Such a mere Chaos Beast, not even qualified to be looked at by me.'"
Lietian recounted, "Then he kicked the Lei Master flying, not even bothering to kill him..."
The three: "..."
Well.
If this rumor were true, then they couldn't really blame the Lei Master.
Don't you look down on me? Now that I'm powerful, won't I beat you up every day?
"By the way."
The Dragon King still had a question: "What Chaos Beast was the Lei Master?"
"...He was a Lei Gu."
Gu, also known as Lieliegu, Diliegu.
None of the three expected that the renowned Lei Master was actually a tiny Lei Gu.
Not a Chaos Beast with powerful bloodlines like dragons, phoenixes, or Kunpeng...
But the weakest Lei Gu.
