The Dragon King, Sword Master, and Lie Tian.
The three were carefully sensing Chen Fan's Great Dao.
Life and death, Yin and Yang, dark water, lightning.
Seven Great Daos exploded within the bodies of the three.
The powerful force of Dao principles sent two humans and one beast into ecstatic joy, but more importantly, into solemnity.
The fusion of the seven Daos was as solid as impenetrable armor.
The Dragon King attempted to peel away the Dao of life and death, to sense it.
However, the moment he peeled away a sliver, the Dao of life and death became imbalanced, instantly rioted, and exploded within his body.
"Ugh."
A trickle of blood flowed down the corner of the Dragon King's mouth.
He was injured.
"Is the method wrong?" the Dragon King sighed.
He did not believe this was a trap left by Chen Fan.
At their level, they disdained to deceive others, especially fellow cultivators.
In the current Lightning Domain, there were only the four of them. Da Feng Novel Network.
Regarding Chen Fan's character, even the Dragon King had to say... he was generous, though a bit vindictive and petty.
"What about Yin and Yang?"
The Dragon King began to peel away the Dao of Yin and Yang.
The result was the same as with life and death.
The moment he peeled away a little, Yin and Yang became imbalanced.
"What a pity."
This time, he was prepared and was not injured.
The two extreme Daos lay before him, yet he could not gain them.
"Alas."
The Dragon King sighed.
The Dao of two extremes was too difficult; not everyone could comprehend it.
On the other hand, the Daos of dark water and lightning, the Dragon King had many insights into.
But the ones that touched him the most, life and death, Yin and Yang, yielded no harvest.
Thinking this, the Dragon King no longer forced it.
Absorbing the power of the Great Dao within his body, he slowly opened his eyes.
As for the Sword Master, he opened his eyes almost at the same time as the Dragon King.
Lie Tian was a step behind the other two; on his body... a trace of the Dao of life and death emerged.
"You..."
Lie Tian and the Sword Master were shocked.
Lie Tian comprehended life and death?
"Don't overthink it."
Lie Tian shook his head, "I knew a powerful cultivator of the Dao of life and death in the past. We would discuss the Dao whenever we had the chance. These are old insights that have been stimulated."
"However, the Dao of life and death of my friend was different from the City Lord's."
The fellow cultivator he spoke of was one of the thirty-six heroes of the Lightning Domain in the past.
"Oh?"
Chen Fan's interest was immediately piqued, "Can I sense his Dao?"
Being of the same Dao of life and death, he was extremely curious.
"Of course."
Lie Tian was not stingy.
If that fellow cultivator were still alive, he would not have allowed others to sense his Dao.
But since the person was dead, what was the use of keeping the Dao?
It was useless.
Keeping it would be a waste, better to do Chen Fan a favor.
"Buzz."
A trace of the Dao of life and death spread within the small space.
The Dragon King and the Sword Master exchanged glances and quickly closed their eyes.
Lie Tian's action indicated that anyone could sense it.
The Dao of two extremes, even the focused Sword Master desired it.
Chen Fan did not mind and also closed his eyes.
Boom.
His thoughts seemed to be dragged into hell.
The Avici Hell, within it, countless wronged souls were suppressed, and the dense power of death controlled the wronged souls into elite armies.
"What about life?"
Chen Fan sensed it earnestly.
Soon, he found the power of life.
In the center of each army, a supremely powerful commander of wronged souls was cultivating.
Threads connected the army and the commander, all the power of life was on this person.
At a certain moment...
Boom.
The power of death on the commander was all sent to the army.
Subsequently, the soaring power of life spanned heaven and earth, transforming into a figure, and then with a "bang," it directly dispersed.
The power of life permeated the entire Avici Hell, falling upon all the wronged souls.
Another cycle of life and death began.
Again and again, those wronged souls were constantly strengthening.
"Amazing."
Chen Fan opened his eyes.
He had already understood everything.
Although the direction was different, they all arrived at the same destination, both being the Dao of life and death.
Lie Tian's fellow cultivator was trying to refine the Avici Hell and merge it with himself.
This path was a great path to heaven.
It seemed that before he succeeded, he was suppressed by the Lightning Lord.
If he were given time, once the Avici Hell was successfully refined, that person would surely be able to enter the ninth rank.
As for those wronged souls, there was no need to say... they all died at the hands of Lie Tian's friend.
They could not find release even in death, forever suppressed in the Avici Hell.
"Does the City Lord have any harvest?" Lie Tian asked with a smile.
"Mm."
Chen Fan nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you."
Seeing the City Lord's satisfaction, Lie Tian was relieved.
Chen Fan then said, "When I reach the eighth rank, you will be free. Don't worry, this time will not be too long."
This single comprehension of life and death was enough to earn Lie Tian his freedom.
If this fellow had not been disobedient and had a prior record, Chen Fan would not have been unable to lift the restriction on him now.
Lie Tian was overjoyed, "Thank you, City Lord."
"Then them..."
"In a moment."
After his own comprehension, Chen Fan did not hoard it.
The Sword Master and the Dragon King, these two, could still benefit.
Time slowly passed...
Finally, the Sword Master woke up.
"Buzz."
Behind the Sword Master, a sword appeared.
In the dimness, it seemed as if hands, one after another, grasped the hilt of the sword.
The sword intent grew stronger and stronger.
"Phew."
At this moment, the Sword Master dispersed the sword shadow behind him, stood up, and cupped his fists towards Lie Tian, "Thank you, fellow cultivator."
Lie Tian grinned, "Did you gain something?"
"Mm."
At this moment, the Dragon King also woke up.
Behind him, a dragon of the Great Dao also appeared.
The scales of this Great Dao dragon began to turn black and white, which was the power of life and death.
"Thank you."
The Dragon King also expressed his gratitude.
The kindness of bestowing the Dao moved him.
"Heh."
Lie Tian smiled and put away the Dao of life and death.
He then said, "As expected, both of you have peerless talent. With just one contact, you can comprehend life and death."
"It's not like that."
The Dragon King said in a deep voice, "It's because of the generosity of fellow cultivator, who displayed the power of the Great Dao to us without reservation."
Dao was the foundation of the strong.
Lie Tian's friend was already dead, so Lie Tian no longer cared.
Taking the current four people as an example, none of them would openly display their Great Dao.
Once revealed, it would be equivalent to exposing one's weaknesses to the other, and even... teaching the enemy how to deal with oneself.
This was reality.
The Sword Master nodded beside him, "Just this alone makes this meeting worthwhile."
"If that's the case, I won't be stingy either. In the past, I destroyed a world outside the domain. Its Great Dao was somewhat special. After plundering it, I had not refined it. Three of you... you can sense it and see if you need it."
As he spoke, a wisp of Dao rhythm flew out from the Sword Master's body.
Buzz.
The Dao rhythm was naturally formed; the Sword Master had not refined it.
He had absorbed the power of the Great Dao of that world but had left this innermost wisp of Dao rhythm.
The three did not hesitate and immediately began to sense it.
The moment Chen Fan touched that wisp of Dao rhythm, without any hesitation, he withdrew.
The Dragon King and Lie Tian were the same. The moment they touched it, they retreated as if they had seen a ghost.
"Senior Sword Master."
Chen Fan looked at him with some helplessness, "You are trying to harm us."
"Hmph."
The old dragon and Lie Tian were somewhat displeased.
The Sword Master was a bit embarrassed but still explained, "This Dao is still very strong."
"Of course, it's strong!"
The Dragon King looked at the Sword Master coldly, "Gathering the thoughts of billions of living beings, transforming it into the belief of protecting humanity, this is the Dao of faith, the Dao of faith of humanity!"
