"Further ahead..."
Ni sneered, "Are you confident, or what?"
With a cold laugh, she struck.
*Bang.*
Chen Fan was sent flying again.
Severely wounded, Chen Fan didn't even have the strength to fight back.
"Hahaha."
Chen Fan laughed heartily.
His body was continuously sent flying, further and further away.
Ni pursued relentlessly. Chen Fan couldn't escape her chase.
Closer...
Chen Fan endured the opponent's attacks.
The madness in his eyes intensified. At a certain moment...
"Die."
He struck ferociously.
His target was naturally not Ni, but the other twelve palace powerhouses.
A palm strike descended.
*Bang.*
A twelve palace powerhouse was directly shattered by his palm.
"Weak, so weak, hahaha..."
Chen Fan laughed maniacally, and the rules above his head appeared: "Swallow for me..."
The new Dao simulated the Great Dao of Devouring.
*Crack.*
A breaking sound echoed.
Everyone heard the sound of breakage.
The rules and Great Dao of that twelve palace powerhouse were shattered.
Simultaneously...
With Chen Fan's roar, the broken Great Dao was directly swallowed by Chen Fan in one gulp.
Yes, swallowed.
The Dao was consumed.
What is the Great Dao? The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth belongs to all of Heaven and Earth.
Cultivators borrow the power of Heaven and Earth to open up their Great Dao. The Great Dao belongs to Heaven and Earth; life and death... the Great Dao belongs to Heaven and Earth.
When a person dies, their Dao returns to Heaven and Earth.
Even if the Great Dao breaks, the broken fragments will scatter into Heaven and Earth. When someone comprehends it again, the Great Dao will reconnect.
The Great Dao that just broke was not entirely shattered, only a segment was broken because he had only comprehended this much. As for the other nodes of the Great Dao, they were comprehended by others.
"Roar."
The Great Dao swallowed by Chen Fan struggled fiercely.
It was unwilling to be consumed.
The Great Dao struggled, attempting to resist.
At this moment, the sky gathered dark clouds. The clouds seemed to form a face, filled with boundless rage.
Someone was devouring its Great Dao; this was a provocation to the rules of Heaven and Earth.
"Hahaha."
Chen Fan roared with laughter.
Who could suppress his arrogance?
Even the Great Dao could not.
"Swallow."
His physical body was blown apart again, yet the Great Dao within his abdomen still resisted.
Chen Fan's physical body transformed into a black hole.
*Boom.*
Thunder raged endlessly throughout the world.
All the lightning struck towards Chen Fan.
*Hiss.*
Finally, the Great Dao swallowed into Chen Fan's abdomen began to shatter.
The shattering Great Dao melted bit by bit, integrating into Chen Fan's body.
No, it wasn't integrating into his body, but rather... being devoured by his rules.
What is Supreme Great Perfection?
When one's domain is perfectly round, forming its own space, that is Supreme Great Perfection.
*Rumble.*
Chen Fan's aura began to increase rapidly.
With each increase, his rules and aura grew stronger.
"Impossible."
Ni, on the opposite side, was utterly shocked. "How could you swallow a Dao? You actually swallowed the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and you succeeded."
The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth could not be swallowed.
Even if swallowed, it could only be temporarily stored within the body.
Afterward, the Great Dao could no longer be used, only capable of a final, utterly destructive strike.
Then, the Great Dao would shatter and return to Heaven and Earth.
But Chen Fan had shattered another's Great Dao and integrated it into his own.
This was an earth-shattering event.
There were myriad Great Daos, each independent and inviolable, but never were they to be devoured.
This was the rule of Heaven and Earth.
He had truly swallowed the Dao.
"Heh."
Ni's shock was met with Chen Fan's arrogant, cold laugh.
What others could not do, did not mean he could not.
His physical body had completely recovered, and his newly born rules and Great Dao rumbled.
*Bang.*
Chen Fan's unique rules and Great Dao instantly doubled in size.
A trace of ethereal aura emanated from the rules.
These rules possessed no specific attributes, yet they encompassed all attributes.
Chen Fan turned, his aura shaking the heavens and earth.
An arrogant smile appeared on his face as he looked at Ni, "Come, let's fight again."
Supreme, Great Perfection.
The gap between him and Ni had been narrowed to a single realm.
Ni frowned, a tremor running through his heart. It seemed... to carry a hint of fear.
Would I be afraid?
Ni was enraged. He, a powerful being who had touched that realm, was afraid of someone at the Supreme Great Perfection realm?
In his shame and anger, Ni roared, "Since that is the case, I shall fulfill you."
Ni was furious.
Angrier than ever before.
"Heavenly Blade."
Rules converged and fell upon the long saber in Ni's hand.
The blade trembled slightly.
*Hiss.*
A single saber strike tore through the heavens and earth.
The rules of the Seven Emotions converged into the saber, cleaving open the world.
This strike was too brilliant.
The power of the Seven Emotions invaded Chen Fan's mind, preventing him from reacting correctly.
Chen Fan's movements were a beat too slow.
The saber was already upon his head.
"Gravity Domain."
The Gravity Orb appeared and shot upwards, reversing the direction of the gravity domain to prevent the Heavenly Blade from falling.
However...
*Hiss.*
The Heavenly Blade tore through the Gravity Domain.
This saber was too sharp.
*Clang.*
The next moment, the sound of metal striking metal echoed.
The Heavenly Cloud Sword blocked the Heavenly Blade.
The immense power of the Seven Emotions surged, causing Chen Fan's mind to become hazy.
His body was now filled with the power of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, interfering with his consciousness.
"Get out."
Chen Fan roared.
*Rumble.*
Within his body, his spiritual energy surged like a great dragon.
With a hum, he expelled all the power of the Seven Emotions from his body.
"Heh heh."
A sinister smile appeared on Ni's face. "The power of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires cannot be expelled."
As expected, as his voice faded, the power that Chen Fan had just expelled once again sprouted.
This power originated from Chen Fan's inner heart.
Unless Chen Fan could eradicate his own Seven Emotions and Six Desires, this power could not be expelled.
"So what?"
Chen Fan's eyes blazed fiercely. "Sword, come..."
A sword soared into the sky, transforming into ten thousand swords.
The sword lotus spun, cutting through the void.
*Hiss.*
The powerful attack was casually shattered by a single saber strike from Ni.
Looking down at him from above, Ni said, "My lord's realm is beyond your comprehension. You will never see the limits of my combat power."
His confidence stemmed from his incredibly powerful strength.
The aura of being beyond Supreme granted him such confidence.
"Is that so?"
Chen Fan licked his lips.
His bloodthirsty pupils were filled with immense fighting spirit. "Then let's try."
"Wind, come."
*Whoosh~*
Throughout the world, winds converged.
Nine colossal wind dragons, reaching from earth to sky, transformed into a devastating storm, tearing through all directions.
"Rain, come."
*Splash!*
It began to rain.
Not ordinary rain, but blood rain.
The torrential blood rain, carried by the gale, swept in all directions.
Finally...
The new Dao's rules vibrated: "Heroic Spirits..."
*Boom.*
The heavens and earth roared, and all Daos trembled.
Chen Fan closed his eyes as wind and rain converged above his head.
Within his senses, within a radius of ten miles, all the heroic spirits who had fallen in this land appeared in his sight.
"Assist me in killing the enemy."
A loud shout echoed through the heavens and earth. "After killing the enemy, I shall send you to reincarnation."
Under the rules, the Great Dao bore witness.
Chen Fan, with his heaven-defying rule power, summoned the heroic spirits of Heaven and Earth to battle.
Through the wind and rain, figures emerged one by one.
Mystical, yet filled with boundless fighting spirit.
Dense figures, slowly regaining clarity from their stupor.
"Kill."
The command was given, and the universe moved.
