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

After escaping several dozen zhang, it seemed like there was nothing around, and some fleeing cultivators instinctively wanted to stop.

At that moment, hundreds of pitch-black tree roots suddenly extended from the depths of the protecting array, sweeping away hundreds of cultivators at the array entrance, including two Divine Kings.

Divine King Mu Tian struggled wildly, with bursts of blue flames erupting around him.

These flames managed to burn through the tree roots, but in the next moment, more roots swiftly extended out.

Despite Divine King Mu Tian's strong flames, the endless tree roots finally captured him.

In addition to Divine King Mu Tian, the second wave of tree roots captured even more cultivators, at least four or five hundred.

Mu Tian Divine King blocked some of the roots himself; otherwise, the number of people swept away would have been even more.

At this moment, who would dare to stay here, desperately rushing to escape.

Ding Huan did not perform Heart Escape; after the other cultivators performed escape techniques, he wasn't rushing at the forefront.

Ding Huan had no plans to rush at the front; his Divine Will could now extend over a thousand zhang.

He noticed that after sweeping away hundreds of people, including Divine King Mu Tian, the black tree roots no longer extended outwards, unclear if they had reached their limit or captured enough cultivators.

Moreover, Ding Huan felt somewhat familiar with the aura of these tree roots.

He had seen them twice, and there were such roots in his Five Elements World space.

One was dug out from the Divine Star, and another grew in the void, nearly covering Seven Fu Star Land.

The aura of the roots just extended was similar to these, yet they carried a Dark Law aura additionally.

"Ding Huan, should we move faster?" Wen Ji Yue noticed Ding Huan's noticeably reduced speed and suggested, as they were falling behind.

"No need, it's already considered safe." Ding Huan stopped without concern.

Seeing Ding Huan stop, Wen Ji Yue also halted.

Soon, most of the escaped individuals realized it should be safe, and stopped.

Earlier, seven to eight hundred went through, now fewer than three hundred survived.

Moreover, those two Divine Kings disappeared.

"Ding Huan, what is that thing?" Wen Ji Yue asked with uncertain astonishment.

Ding Huan shook his head; although he suspected the roots had a connection to the Gods, he wasn't certain if they were truly Gods' creations.

More importantly, the roots contained Dark Law aura.

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this," Wen Ji Yue apologized with some guilt.

Ding Huan came here likely for Divine Muhe.

In reality, Ding Huan did not acquire Divine Muhe here, and now it's uncertain if they'll manage to leave.

"It's okay, take this. Those two are useful for me, so I won't give them to you." Ding Huan handed a ring to Wen Ji Yue.

Inside the ring was a Mid Grade Divine Spirit Vein.

The two top-grade Dark Attribute Divine Spirit Veins were indeed highly beneficial for Ding Huan.

In the Divine World, top-grade Dark Attribute Divine Spirit Veins are nearly impossible to obtain.

Ding Huan could now absorb Dark Law Divine Spirit Source; having the Dark Attribute Divine Spirit Vein was more beneficial to him than Wen Ji Yue.

As for dividing more, Ding Huan didn't feel like he was shortchanging Wen Ji Yue.

In the cultivation world, more effort yields more rewards, which is a straightforward principle anywhere.

If you invest more and acquire less, it only suggests you're easy to manipulate.

Wen Ji Yue sent her Divine Will into the ring and discovered a Mid Grade Divine Spirit Vein, then quickly refused:

"Junior Brother Ding, I cannot accept this. If not for you, I'd still be trapped in that small Ming Guang Array, and likely severely injured.

Additionally, you know my background; I don't lack that one spirit vein."

Wen Ji Yue was not exaggerating.

She genuinely did not lack this spirit vein; being the sole daughter of a sect leader, she did not lack cultivation resources.

If Ding Huan hadn't arrived promptly, she would surely have suffered under the Perfect God Monarch.

Recognizing Wen Ji Yue's sincerity in her refusal, Ding Huan did not press further.

Wen Ji Yue didn't lack cultivation resources, but he did, especially high-grade cultivation resources.

Using Divine Crystals for cultivation was feasible, but it was slow.

Only Divine Spirit Veins are truly valuable for cultivation.

"Fellow Daoists, I am Feng Baiqing, a disciple of the Nine Mountain God Sect. I'd like to propose forming a team; is it possible?" A male voice sounded in Ding Huan and Wen Ji Yue's ears.

Ding Huan had already noticed the newcomer, a youth tying a starry sky bun, whose cultivation seemed to be at the early stage of the Divine Monarch.

Seeing him, Ding Huan understood why he wanted to team up with them.

When he first advised Wen Ji Yue to escape, this man was nearby and quickly joined their initial escape.

Afterwards, as their pace slowed down, this man similarly reduced speed.

He probably sought to join them sensing Ding Huan's acute awareness of dangers.

Ding Huan did not reply.

Forming a team to escape wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but with no background knowledge, Ding Huan saw little necessity.

"This is an internal treasure map from my sect, indicating items that have appeared." Feng Baiqing, understanding the protocol, willingly handed a well-viewed Jade Scroll to Ding Huan.

Ding Huan received the Jade Scroll and swept his Divine Will into it.

Immediately, Ding Huan looked at Feng Baiqing in surprise.

He was certain that this map wasn't simple.

Not only did the map show the distribution of Luck Stones, but also parts of the Divine Spirit Veins.

Besides that, there were also distributions of some top-grade Artifact Refining divine materials.

Most importantly, Ding Huan saw the possible location where Divine Muhe might appear.

This kind of map showing the distribution of Dao Ruins treasures is definitely a sect secret.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, are you not worried about being held accountable by the sect for taking out this map?" Ding Huan looked at Feng Baiqing.

Feng Baiqing laughed heartily, "My life is at stake, what is there to fear about accountability?"

Besides, this is my possession, if I want to take it out, the sect won't interfere.

"Alright, since that's the case, Fellow Daoist Feng should join us. I am Ding Huan, and this is my senior sister, Wen Ji Yue."

Seeing Ding Huan gladly accept to team up, Feng Baiqing was overjoyed.

"Fellow Daoists, my name is Jiang Xinniang, a Loose Cultivator. May I join your team?" A timid female voice was heard.

A female cultivator in gray clothes approached, her appearance was delicate, and her eyes were clear, but she seemed shy when speaking.

In terms of cultivation, she was surprisingly not lower than Wen Ji Yue, also at the mid-God Monarch stage.

Ding Huan likewise did not respond immediately.

Jiang Xinniang seemed to know the rules; she looked around and cautiously said:

"I think I saw a Void Array Gate once, but no matter how long I kept watch there, I couldn't find it again."

"Alright, I agree to let you join us. You lead the way directly to that Void Array Gate."

Ding Huan unhesitatingly agreed to Jiang Xinniang's request.

This space, although devoid of Dark Law now, still contained other Divine Arrays, at least Divine Will couldn't spread unchecked.

Finding a way out wasn't so simple either.

Jiang Xinniang had clearly been here for quite a while.

Even though it had all been a Dark Law Space before, Divine Will couldn't spread, Jiang Xinniang remembered her position very clearly.

She pointed in another direction, "This way."

Just as they turned, a man and a woman quickly approached.

As soon as they reached Ding Huan and the others, the woman politely said, "Esteemed seniors, can our brother and sister pair follow you?"

They bore marks made by Ding Huan, whom he recognized.

They were the ones who entered before him but ended up severely injured.

These two were quite resilient.

Low cultivation, yet managed not to die from a fall, neither captured nor run off, and now escaped to this place.

No one spoke, and Ding Huan didn't either.

The reason Jiang Xinniang or Feng Baiqing teamed with Ding Huan because they saw him as the first to escape.

But merely guessing Ding Huan may find a way out wasn't enough.

Everyone who teamed up had something to contribute.

Feng Baiqing had the Dao Ruins treasure distribution jade scroll, Jiang Xinniang knew a position where a Void Array Gate had appeared.

By staying silent, Ding Huan wanted to see what these two people could offer.

Ding Huan waited for a while, but the man and woman didn't say anything more.

Were they trying to freeload?

"Any other words?"

The female cultivator shook her head, "Senior, our cultivation is too low..."

Ding Huan waved his hand, "None of us are here to babysit, you're on your own."

Is low cultivation justified?

After speaking, Ding Huan signaled Jiang Xinniang to lead the way.

After Ding Huan explicitly refused, the man and woman could only clench their fists and halt.

"Ji Lin, that male cultivator is no ordinary person; he was the first to flee when danger arose." The female cultivator said indignantly.

On the man's handsome face was a cold look, "I hope I don't meet him outside the Dao Ruins. Shuang Feng, let us leave, I don't believe we can't find a way out. Besides, they may not necessarily know the way out."

"That tree root, what on earth is it? It even swept away two Divine Kings," Feng Baiqing said in fear.

Once familiar, their conversation lost the initial caution and concern.

"It contained the Dark Law, possibly a great power cultivating a Dark Technique." Wen Ji Yue too was somewhat scared.

Had she escaped a bit slower, she would've been caught by the tree root too.

Ding Huan said nothing.

He knew one of those two Divine Kings survived, it was the Nose God King. The moment the tree root wrapped around Mu Tian Divine King, this guy hurriedly escaped.

Before leaving, his one arm was swept away, and a root pierced through his chest.

Even under such circumstances, he still managed to escape.

Whether he could survive afterward, Ding Huan didn't know; at least he knew the man was alive when he fled the tree root's attack.

Jiang Xinniang was swift, implying she had rehearsed escaping towards this direction more than once.
