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

Shi Li had just heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ding Huan catching up.

He was greatly shocked. His sword attack had fused with Poison Dao Rhythm, why was Ding Huan still unharmed?

Moreover, the other party's Daoist Rhythm was obviously that of a Luo Tian Immortal, so how could his attack be so fierce and vicious?

Despite his shock, he paid it no mind.

He had completely refined the Heaven and Earth Scale; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to come out.

Once he fully activated the speed of the Heaven and Earth Scale, not to mention a Luo Tian Immortal like Ding Huan, even an Immortal Emperor couldn't catch up with him.

The speed of the Heaven and Earth Scale grew faster and faster, making Shi Li all the more bewildered.

That Broken Dao Vein was obviously within the Thirty-Three Dao, how could it have been brought to the Gray Sea by a Luo Tian Immortal and then consumed in the Fire Magma of the Gray Sea Vortex?

In less than half the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Shi Li's face changed.

He saw that not only had Ding Huan caught up, but he was also getting closer.

Clearly, the iron pot under Ding Huan's feet was faster than his Heaven and Earth Scale.

Shi Li's Heaven and Earth Scale was a top-grade Innate Treasure, which meant that the iron pot under Ding Huan's feet was at least a top-grade Innate Treasure, or even superior.

Realizing that Ding Huan could catch up with him at any moment, Shi Li no longer thought about Rong Xiyu and the Broken Dao Vein.

He frantically burned his Essence Blood, pushing the speed of the Heaven and Earth Scale to its limit.

But no matter how he fled, the Luo Tian Immortal chasing him didn't fall behind by even half a step.

Shi Li forced himself to stay calm. He had been pursued by five or six Immortal Kings back then and still escaped.

Today, it was just a small Luo Tian Immortal; how could he be out of ideas?

Soon, he recalled that his previous pursuers were a few Immortal Kings, and today's pursuer was merely a small Luo Tian Immortal.

Thinking of this, a sense of humiliation surged from the depths of his heart.

But that sense of humiliation was quickly cast aside; he needed to think about how to escape the pursuit.

Back then, he had escaped into the Gray Sea and relied on the Heaven and Earth Scale to navigate the deadly aura.

Now, in the void, to escape the pursuit of the Luo Tian Immortal, he needed to find an absolute terrain.

No matter how dangerous the place, he had the Heaven and Earth Scale and wouldn't face fatal danger.

Then he thought of Ding Huan's iron pot. That iron pot's grade definitely didn't fall short of his Heaven and Earth Scale.

Besides, when he first saw Ding Huan, the latter was standing above the Gray Sea, seemingly unaffected by its extreme deathly aura.

Even he had to rely on the Heaven and Earth Scale to survive in the Gray Sea.

Could it be that Ding Huan was also a body refiner?

A feeling of despair welled up in Shi Li's heart. If Ding Huan was a body refiner, how could he escape to an absolute terrain?

He still needed to continuously burn his Essence Blood. Over time, he wouldn't need Ding Huan to act; he would be defenseless.

No matter how hard Shi Li racked his brain, he couldn't figure out how to evade Ding Huan's pursuit.

What made him even more desperate was that when he burned his Essence Blood again, a concealed aura instantly filled his body.

He felt his Immortal Essence and Divine Will being locked, the gray-white deathly aura gradually spreading throughout his body.

Poison?

Shi Li had just used the Poisoned Sword to ambush Ding Huan; how could he not understand the impact of poison while burning Essence Blood?

He quickly retrieved a jade box, sent the fruit inside into his mouth, and discarded the jade box.

After swallowing the Tao Fruit, Shi Li sighed in relief but felt a pang of pain.

Using a Tao Fruit to detoxify — probably no one else in the Pangu Great World would ever do this.

Such a pity for this Tao Fruit; it was also his last one.

Of the ten different Tao Fruits he had obtained back then, all were used up today.

This increased his resentment toward the one chasing him.

But in just a dozen breaths, Shi Li's face changed.

He discovered that the Poison Dao Rules clung to his bones and meridians like maggots, gradually seeping into his Purple Mansion and Sea of Consciousness.

Though the Tao Fruit suppressed the poison, nearly halting the seepage and allowing him to continue burning Essence Blood, he was acutely aware that if he couldn't timely extract this horrendous Poison Dao Rhythm, his fate would be grim.

Ding Huan's iron pot moved faster, but he wasn't burning Essence Blood, so he could not catch up with Shi Li for the time being.

Yet Ding Huan didn't care; he didn't believe Shi Li could escape from right under his nose.

He just needed to keep his eyes on Shi Li. He didn't believe Shi Li could remove the Bone Devouring Poison Dao Rhythm.

Several days passed by in this relentless chase.

Shi Li grew more and more desperate.

Not only was his Essence Blood almost burnt out, but the wound on his back from Ding Huan's shot had yet to heal.

That shot carried Taoist Rhythm, and without steadiness of mind, he couldn't remove it.

These were secondary; what threatened his life was the Poison Dao Rhythm in his body. The Poison Dao Rhythm turned his skin black, his face gray, and deathly aura flowed out from his crown.

If not for the Tao Fruit, he would have already lost the opportunity to flee.

Shi Li knew that if he continued fleeing, he would be dead for sure.

He decided to fight desperately. The opponent was just a Luo Tian Immortal; he could risk everything, even facing another reincarnation.

At that moment, Shi Li's Divine Will spotted a massive spaceship.

The spaceship's speed wasn't slow, but compared to Shi Li's Heaven and Earth Scale, it was notably slower.

At his wits' end, Shi Li decisively controlled the Heaven and Earth Scale to crash into the colossal spaceship.

Boom!

The Heaven and Earth Scale struck the ship's barrier, its immense speed causing the vessel's protective array to tremble.

"Who dares to attack my Qian Banner?" A dignified man appeared at the edge of the array, coldly questioning.

Shi Li urgently said, "Fellow Daoist, I faced danger in the void. Please shelter me, I'm willing to offer one billion high-grade Immortal Crystals..."

Even on the verge of death, Shi Li only mentioned one billion high-grade Immortal Crystals.

In reality, he had at least five to six billion high-grade Immortal Crystals in his ring. As a former Immortal Sect Master, he had never needed to use so many Immortal Crystals.

One billion high-grade Immortal Crystals might be insignificant in Ding Huan's eyes, but to Shi Li, it was merely a notable sum of Cultivation Resources.

Yet for the cultivators on this warship, one billion high-grade Immortal Crystals was a large fortune.

Moreover, Shi Li's cultivation seemed only at the initial stage of an Immortal King. With two mid-stage Immortal Kings on the ship, they had no fear of Shi Li.

The restriction was opened, and Shi Li immediately rushed inside.

Before the restriction could close, Ding Huan's iron pot followed into the ship.

"And who might you be?" The dignified man's gaze fell on Ding Huan, his Divine Will observing the iron pot.

Without doubt, both Ding Huan's iron pot and Shi Li's scale were top treasures.

Shi Li put away the Heaven and Earth Scale and handed over a ring to the dignified man: "Thank you for your rescue. Here's one billion high-grade Immortal Crystals."

The dignified man nodded and accepted the Immortal Crystals.

His curiosity increased.

The Daoist Rhythm on Ding Huan was clearly less than that of an Immortal King, if he wasn't mistaken, Ding Huan was just a Luo Tian Immortal.

It was peculiar for an Immortal King to be chased by a Luo Tian Immortal.

Ding Huan drew his Reincarnation Spear and calmly said to the dignified man, "This person attacked me during my cultivation. What do you think?"

The dignified man frowned and looked at Shi Li.

A Luo Tian Immortal like Ding Huan was of little concern.

However, the Immortal King being chased had acted despicably, ambushing someone during their cultivation – a truly disgraceful act.

Not to mention an Immortal King ambushing a Luo Tian Immortal.

"That's because he stole something from me. Not only that, he also insidiously poisoned me."

Sensing the need for the spaceship's help, Shi Li protested.

He was visibly poisoned; a single glance revealed his condition.

He conveniently forgot his own use of the poisoned sword.

Ding Huan didn't bother to explain further, calmly addressing the dignified man: "This is between us. I hope outsiders won't interfere."

His Divine Will had already scanned the ship, noting two Immortal Kings.

The dignified man was an Immortal King, while a woman was observing them from within the restriction.

Both were mid-stage Immortal Kings.

Apart from these two, there were six Luo Tian Immortals, ten Daluo Immortals, and over a hundred others below Daluo Immortal.

Overall, the ship's strength wasn't low.

But Ding Huan didn't care; he continued inscribing Void Array Patterns.

The ship's outermost Immortal Array was merely Level Six.

The inner Immortal Restrictions were even lower-level.

As a Level Nine Immortal Array Emperor, these Arrays and Restrictions posed no threat to him.

"What if I decide to intervene on my ship?"

A cold voice questioned as a red-clad woman appeared before them.

Ding Huan recognized her as the ship's second Immortal King.

His domain slowly expanded, and rings of killing intent emanated from the Reincarnation Spear in his hand.

He wasn't a slaughterer; otherwise, spreading Poison Dao would leave no survivor on this ship.

The dignified man hastily blocked the red-clad woman and addressed Ding Huan earnestly:

"Fellow Daoist, by rights we shouldn't meddle in this issue. However, I accepted one billion Immortal Crystals from the other Daoist.

I wish to understand the cause and effect. If the other Daoist is indeed at fault, we won't intervene."

"Brother Fan... what is this?" The red-clad woman looked puzzled at the dignified man.

Why be polite to a mere Luo Tian Immortal?

Ding Huan scrutinized the dignified man with astonishment. Ordinarily, such words from a Luo Tian Immortal would provoke immediate action.

Unexpectedly, the dignified man remained composed, clearly indicating his unwillingness to aid wrongdoing.

Given Shi Li had provided Immortal Crystals, if Shi Li was wrong, the dignified man might simply remain neutral.

Should Shi Li be innocent, they would aid Shi Li against him.

Appreciating reasonableness, Ding Huan refrained from pressing further.

Reasonable people were rare indeed.
