Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

"Ding Huan concealed his form as he approached the waterfall, immediately sensing something amiss.

Could it be that beneath this waterfall lies an exceptionally pure Immortal Spirit Source? Is that where the Immortal Spirit Vein is located?

Ding Huan pressed against the boulder, his whole body's Daoist Rhythm blending almost indistinguishably with the boulder. He cautiously infiltrated the boulder with his Divine Will, and his mind soon gave a slight shiver.

This was not any boulder; it was a Magical Treasure.

Ding Huan didn't dare to carelessly search with his Divine Will, so he decided to carefully construct a Cycle using the Great Universe Technique.

As the Circulation Dao Rhythm flowed through the boulder, Ding Huan felt a strong surge of angry, murderous intent. Apart from that intense rage and murderous intent, there was also a formidable presence of a killing Daoist Rhythm.

Having interfaced with Wen Zhixi before, Ding Huan immediately knew this was definitely left by her father, Wen Luoxu.

If so, then the other presence carrying a killing aura must be left by that Immortal Pond dignitary.

Based on his experience, Ding Huan quickly deduced the specifics of the situation.

If he wasn't mistaken, this boulder was Wen Luoxu's Jiulun Seal.

Such a massive Jiulun Seal left in this place, it would have been strange if Wen Zhixi couldn't sense it.

Though Wen Luoxu's reasons for falling here were unknown, he still had a strand of obsession within this Jiulun Seal.

Thus, when that Immortal Pond Human Beast attempted to refine the Jiulun Seal, it was hindered by this wisp of angry obsession.

After all, Wen Luoxu was far more powerful than that Fourth-level Human Beast; therefore, it never managed to refine the Jiulun Seal.

With the passage of time, Wen Luoxu's obsession would weaken, and with the Human Beast's relentless attempts at refining, it eventually carved out a space within the Jiulun Seal and left behind its own killing Daoist Rhythm.

One could imagine that when the Immortal Pond Human Beast had nothing to do, it would enter the Jiulun Seal to erode Wen Luoxu's remaining obsession with its own killing Daoist Rhythm.

From initially being impenetrable, it now managed to create a space to exist within.

If this continued, in not many years, Wen Luoxu's obsession within the Jiulun Seal would be eroded away, and the Jiulun Seal would become the property of the Immortal Pond Human Beast.

Ding Huan was initially planning to set up Killing Trap Array Patterns all around, but after learning about the Jiulun Seal, he immediately changed his mind.

Fortunately today, the Immortal Pond Human Beast hadn't entered the Jiulun Seal, allowing him to implement his plan.

His Divine Will avoided the killing Daoist Rhythm left by the Immortal Pond Human Beast and began to refine the Jiulun Seal.

Indeed, as soon as Ding Huan began refining it, that powerful obsession charged straight at his Divine Will; the intent was to sever and slash away his Divine Will.

Ding Huan sent out a message: I am Wen Zhixi's friend, I came here with Zhixi to deal with the Immortal Pond Human Beast. Zhixi is lying in wait outside; if you don't let me refine the Jiulun Seal, she's in danger.

As expected, after sending out this message, Ding Huan felt the obsession's murderous intent wane considerably, although it was still present.

Ding Huan sent another message: Zhixi told me that her mother's residual soul might be here, so even knowing there was a Fourth-level Demon Beast present, she still planned to take action.

After this message was sent, Ding Huan distinctly perceived the obsession retracting.

It must be that besides Wen Zhixi and her father, no one else knew of the remnant soul of Wen Zhixi's mother.

Ding Huan refined the first layer of prohibition on the Jiulun Seal at the fastest speed possible.

After refining the first layer of prohibition, Ding Huan didn't continue refining the remaining prohibitions but decisively set up Killing Trap Array Patterns outside the space of the killing Daoist Rhythm left by the Immortal Pond Human Beast.

One by one, the Killing Trap Array Patterns were laid by Ding Huan, and by the time he set up the third Strangling Array, his mastery over Array Patterns had been promoted to the Third-level.

The Heaven and Earth Rules here were indeed different; his ability to upgrade his Void Array Patterns to the Fourth-level proved he had advanced to a Fourth-level Immortal Array Master.

Being promoted to a Fourth-level Immortal Array Master implies that it's also possible here to ascend to a Da Yi Immortal.

Now a Fourth-level Immortal Array Master, Ding Huan continued to set up Fourth-level Killing Trap Immortal Array Patterns.

After laying these all out completely, Ding Huan withdrew his Divine Will and continued to set up Killing Trap Array Patterns around the stream's perimeter.

Originally, he could only set up Third-level Killing Trap Immortal Arrays, so his confidence was not great.

But now, with his mastery over the Array Dao elevated to a Fourth-level Immortal Array Master, his confidence greatly increased.

In Ding Huan's plan, he intended to use the Strangulation Immortal Array first to lock down the cave mansion of the Immortal Pond Human Beast. The creature was certainly cultivating inside the house, and as long as the house was locked down, he would be halfway to success.

Ding Huan's idea was good, except that as soon as he laid the first Array Pattern outside the Immortal Pond Human Beast's house, a furious roar erupted immediately.

Not good, Ding Huan knew too well that the Immortal Pond Human Beast was such a cunning thing; it had constructed a bunch of Mark of Divine Will outside its own cave mansion.

Such an endeavor wasn't simple; if one didn't understand spatial Array Patterns well, it was extremely bothersome to leave behind Mark of Divine Will in space and needed to be rebuilt every couple of days.

Otherwise, these Void Marks of Divine Will would disperse and disappear.

This Immortal Pond Human Beast, clearly the strongest entity around, was still willing to go to such tedious lengths to set this up—how frightened of death could it be?"

Upon the Immortal Pond Human Beast's roar, all the beasts still training on the outskirts went mad, charging towards Ding Huan's location.

Ding Huan realized he had been careless, and he quickly activated the Teleportation Array Pattern, his Reincarnation Spear whipping up a screen of spear light.

This time, Ding Huan held nothing back, knowing that the slightest negligence could spell his end today.

When that Immortal Pond Human Beast had charged out, Ding Huan suspected he had misjudged; this was definitely not a common Third-level Immortal Demon Beast.

The spear light swept across violently, gathering all the killing intent in this marsh space. Beneath the will of the Reincarnation Spear, the killing potency skyrocketed from nothingness.

Ding Huan had never felt such wild murderous intent, which under the cover of the spear light, almost materialized and turned into a resplendent peak of killing spear light.

At this moment, the Immortal Pond Human Beast threw a punch towards Ding Huan's head.

The concentrated killing spear light under Ding Huan's control flickered under this fist but failed to burst forth.

Ding Huan's eyes filled with blood, Immortal Essence power gathering frantically.

Even so, his spear light still couldn't break free, utterly overpowered by the terrifying pressure of the Immortal Pond Human Beast's fist.

This was not a battle of equals.

He was sure now, the Immortal Pond Human Beast was infinitely close to the Fourth level. Although it hadn't stepped into the Fifth level, it must be at the peak of the Third level.

Ding Huan spat out a Blood Arrow, his Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe desperately spinning, and the Mark of Divine Will on the Reincarnation Spear climbing steadily.

At the same time, the Immortal Essence in the stars within Ding Huan's Dantian burst forth like a dam bursting, driven by Ding Huan to break through the suppressed spear light on the Reincarnation Spear.

Sadly, when there is a certain gap in strength, no matter how frenzied Ding Huan gets, he still cannot unleash the killing spear light that had already gathered on the Reincarnation Spear.

Ding Huan could even feel that death was not far from him, his Domain shattering inch by inch under the punch of the Immortal Pond Human Beast.

"Crack." Ding Huan's bones began to fracture, the gathered killing spear light about to collapse from the beast's punch.

All this happened in a flash.

With Immortal Essence raging and flowing, Ding Huan's eyes saturated with blood, he knew he absolutely could not back down.

The slightest hesitation, and the Immortal Pond Human Beast's fist would reduce him to ashes.

Yet without retreat, should the beast's punch shatter his accumulated killing spear light, he faced nothing but death.

Just then, Wen Zhixi's figure appeared not far from Ding Huan.

Wen Zhixi, with less combat experience than Ding Huan, knew clearly what she had to do at this time.

She had barely appeared when her Soul-locking Burst Needle, prepared in advance, shot out.

Even the Immortal Pond Human Beast hadn't expected Wen Zhixi to suddenly appear at Ding Huan's side. By the time it reacted, her Soul-locking Burst Needle had already penetrated its body.

A savage burst of deathly aura exploded, the punch from the Immortal Pond Human Beast towards Ding Huan dramatically weakening as it madly gathered strength to expel the terrifying deathly aura.

After landing a successful ambush, Wen Zhixi was initially overjoyed, but in the next moment, she was stunned.

Her Soul-locking Burst Needle couldn't detonate, and was being confined by the beast's Immortal Essence power, on the verge of being forced out.

Her scalp tingled, considering every possibility but not expecting the beast to be so fearsome.

She had teleported suddenly, managed a sneak attack, and the needle had entered the body yet couldn't lock the beast's soul nor detonate.

It's over, was the only thought in Wen Zhixi's mind.

In that instant, she reflexively swirled her Divine Will, refusing to allow her Soul-locking Burst Needle to be blasted out of the beast.

Her mind went completely blank.

Because the rest of the beasts had rushed close, and she had no power to resist.

Seeing Wen Zhixi arrive, Ding Huan was ecstatic in that moment, desperately gathering Immortal Essence and Divine Will.

When he saw Wen Zhixi's Soul-locking Burst Needle make a successful sneak attack yet not detonate immediately, Ding Huan knew she couldn't detonate it.

The Immortal Essence he was gathering now reached its peak.

The Immortal Essence Power the Immortal Pond Human Beast had invested into the Reincarnation Spear light was clearly weakened by the Soul-locking Burst Needle.

Without hesitation, Ding Huan burned his Essence Blood once more; with the surging Immortal Essence's impact, his Reincarnation Spear light finally exploded.

In the next instant, an endless, murderously charged gun light burst forth.

The ninth of the Fourth Spears, Starry Sky.

Formed into one, scattered as a sky filled with stars.

Within this field of stars, a beam of peerlessly brilliant spear light shot straight for the brow of the Immortal Pond Human Beast.
