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

Jie Kuangren clearly sensed that the other party's aura was also that of an Immortal Lord, but the killing intent sweeping over from the long spear was stronger than that of an Immortal Emperor.

Not good.

The opponent's power far exceeded their realm.

Just as Jie Kuangren realized this, the long spear clashed with his fist.

Crack!

A blood mist exploded, and one of Jie Kuangren's arms instantly turned into a blood mist and vanished.

Jie Kuangren's domain stalled, and the pressure the Slaughter Demon Sword imposed on Ding Huan also sharply weakened.

How could Ding Huan let go of such an opportunity?

Without a moment's hesitation, the killing intent carried by the Reincarnation Spear in his hand gathered to a point.

The illusory Sword Mountain was torn apart by this point of gun light, and the killing intent of the gun light did not weaken, but instead grew stronger.

From the initial point, it transformed into a line, then into a plane.

When this spear tore through Jie Kuangren's domain, it had already become a world.

One spear, one world; wherever the spear passed, everything disintegrated into dust.

Everything in its path at this moment would be reduced to ashes and vanish without a trace.

The suffocating aura of death engulfed Jie Kuangren, leaving him with only one choice—to defend.

If he dared to attack Ding Huan, that sneak attack's killing intent would surely return. If he turned back to deal with the one who ambushed him, Ding Huan would definitely take his life.

"Pfft!" Ding Huan's Annihilation Spear slammed into Jie Kuangren's chest, blowing half of Jie Kuangren's body apart.

The next moment, Jie Kuangren turned into a blood arrow and disappeared.

Ding Huan did not pursue; he was barely able to take care of himself.

The cultivator who had ambushed Jie Kuangren also did not give chase. Instead, he revealed himself, looked at Ding Huan, and chuckled:

"Great Immortal Governor, considering that I just saved your life, hand over that pot of yours, and I guarantee to let you live."

Ding Huan was in a dire state, covered in blood from countless wounds.

Ding Huan seemed completely unscathed, as if he hadn't been injured at all, and said calmly, "Shi Keling, if you have the guts, come over and try. See if Mr. Huan fears you in the slightest."

Zuo Shanyi took a step forward, the black spear in his hand transforming into waves of gun intent, completely enveloping Ding Huan's space.

Today he definitely wouldn't let Ding Huan get away.

Ding Huan was severely injured, his cultivation lower than Zuo Shanyi's. If he let Ding Huan escape today, it would be difficult to kill Ding Huan next time.

The Reincarnation Spear in Ding Huan's hand once again raised icy peaks one after another, its killing intent and Daoist Rhythm completely locking this space.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Immortal Essence clashed, and the killing Daoist Rhythm turned everything around into a flat expanse.

Zuo Shanyi looked in shock as his gun waves were ripped apart wave after wave, until they completely disappeared.

To his relief, the icy peaks Ding Huan raised were also shattered by his gun waves, turning into nothingness.

Zuo Shanyi did not continue his attack; he knew that even if he could gain the upper hand, he still couldn't kill Ding Huan today.

To kill Ding Huan, he would have to use the Forbidden Technique.

He vaguely felt that Ding Huan would not be so easy.

Zuo Shanyi swept his Divine Will over Ding Huan several times, silently thinking to himself, could this guy's injuries be fake?

"Why aren't you attacking?" Ding Huan held the Reincarnation Spear, mockingly looking at Zuo Shanyi.

He was indeed seriously injured, but his recovery ability was too strong. As long as he stalled Zuo Shanyi, he could turn the tables.

Besides, he was waiting with a great gift for Zuo Shanyi, just in case Zuo Shanyi continued to attack.

Seeing that Zuo Shanyi hesitated to make a move, Ding Huan somewhat regretted having exerted too much force earlier.

If he had shown a bit more weakness, maybe this guy would have attacked again.

"Great Immortal Governor Ding, keep your head, and slowly wait for me." Zuo Shanyi said, then disappeared in a flash.

He was sure Ding Huan had ill intentions, and Ding Huan's injuries weren't as severe as he appeared to be.

The Primordial Spirit who had always been with Ding Huan was also nowhere to be seen, which was not normal.

Ji Luo's figure appeared: "That bastard, if he had just stayed a few more breaths, I would have shown him."

He had been setting up the Killing Trap Array Pattern, but didn't expect Shi Keling to be so astute, that he left before the Killing Trap Array completed its closure.

"Forget it, an ordinary Killing Trap Array Pattern cannot stop his Sky-breaking Cone." Ding Huan said, but his heart was still shaken by Zuo Shanyi's combat prowess.

Although he was injured, he cultivated the Great Universe Technique, and his Immortal Essence and Divine Will were far beyond what ordinary cultivators could compare to.

Back when he was a Daluo Immortal, he had taught Shi Keling a lesson.

Compared to the Shi Keling of that time, Zuo Shanyi now had gone through an earth-shattering change.

It was evident that Zuo Shanyi's strength had greatly increased after obtaining the leather scroll's inheritance.

And with Zuo Shanyi's increase in cultivation, his combat power in battles of the same rank might as well increase exponentially.

Fortunately, he had developed the Great Universe Technique, otherwise truly he wouldn't have the qualification to face Zuo Shanyi.

"This kid actually helped you once today, I really don't know what his intentions are." Ji Luo was still a bit puzzled.

If he were Shi Keling, when Ding Huan was attacked by that powerful being earlier, he would have chosen to attack Ding Huan rather than help him.

Ding Huan chuckled: "He doesn't dare not to act."

Seeing Ji Luo's confusion, Ding Huan continued: "The one who attacked me today was very powerful. I estimate he must be the chief of the Immortal Surveillance Department in the Great Dao Corridor, Jie Kuangren.

Last time, when I plotted against Zuo Shanyi, poisoning two Luo Tian Immortals so openly challenged the ten thousand laws of the Great Dao Corridor. As the chief of the Immortal Surveillance Department, Jie Kuangren would never let it go.

So his first target of investigation would be Zuo Shanyi. Logically, before the truth is clarified, Jie Kuangren should control Zuo Shanyi as well.

But to see Zuo Shanyi safe and sound now means Zuo Shanyi must have lied to Jie Kuangren and directed the trouble my way, explaining why Jie Kuangren was searching for me everywhere."

"Yet Shi Keling had no reason to help you." Ji Luo had always been in the Heaven and Earth Scale and was not very concerned about Ding Huan and Shi Keling concealing their cultivation.

Because he didn't care, he asked this question.

Ding Huan replied: "Think about it, I'm Zuo Shanyi's senior brother. Zuo Shanyi has to admit this because Han Qiqi knows it.

Since I'm Zuo Shanyi's senior brother and I've advanced to Immortal Lord, how can Zuo Shanyi still be just a Daluo Immortal?

If Zuo Shanyi didn't help me today, then whether I was captured by Jie Kuangren or not, Jie Kuangren would next trouble Zuo Shanyi.

Zuo Shanyi's background is mysterious, his concealment of cultivation unknown even to the Immortal Lord of Beishen Immortal Horn, and being my junior brother, Jie Kuangren would find it suspicious to let him go.

Jie Kuangren would have to capture Zuo Shanyi and interrogate him regarding our origins. Zuo Shanyi has many secrets and fears death a lot.

He certainly wouldn't want his secrets to be glimpsed by Jie Kuangren, nor dare to face Jie Kuangren alone.

Today was a golden opportunity. If he could defeat or heavily injure Jie Kuangren, he would be freed from future worries.

After that, he could go into closed-door cultivation and not have to fear sudden ambushes from Jie Kuangren, like what happened to me.

He attacked Jie Kuangren because, after obtaining the leather scroll's inheritance, he felt overconfident. He saw more threat from Jie Kuangren than from me.

In his mind, he already succeeded."

Ding Huan's guess was spot on.

In Zuo Shanyi's eyes, he must first get rid of Jie Kuangren to cultivate peacefully.

Today's ambush on Ding Huan by Jie Kuangren served as a stark warning.

If it were not for the Heavenly Tribulation still ongoing, even if Ding Huan could escape today, it would be challenging; Zuo Shanyi wouldn't repeat such mistakes.

"Where do we go next?" Ji Luo asked.

Ding Huan seemed indifferent: "Continue cultivating here; no one dares to come around anymore."

Shi Keling is extremely pragmatic, never doing anything meaningless.

Knowing that coming after him was futile, he wouldn't pester him.

At this point, he would definitely be looking for a place to go into closed-door cultivation, striving to reach the Immortal Emperor Realm sooner to come and dominate him.

As for Jie Kuangren, after that earlier spear and Shi Keling's spear, he lost half his life.

Complete recovery would take hundreds of years, and even then, that's only with top treasures at hand.

Otherwise, even if his flesh fully recovers, his Great Dao would remain damaged.

"Lao Ji, I have a question. The one who ambushed me earlier, Jie Kuangren of the Immortal Surveillance Department, is he beyond the Immortal Emperor Realm?"

Ji Luo, after a moment of silence, said: "Not entirely sure, but his Daoist Rhythm aura does not feel like that of an ordinary Immortal Emperor."

Afterward, seemingly worried about Ding Huan's confidence, he added: "Brother, your battle with Jie Kuangren had another key factor—your magical treasure isn't sufficient."

Ding Huan nodded. Even without being told, he knew the Reincarnation Spear had held him back.

The Reincarnation Spear could barely be considered a Low Grade Immortal Artifact. Without robust materials, it might have shattered in this battle.

And Jie Kuangren's Slaughter Demon Sword was an exceptional Immortal Artifact, potentially a semi-divine artifact.

"You must quickly find Abyss Nirvana Gold to upgrade your Reincarnation Spear to at least a High Grade Immortal Artifact. Otherwise, you will still suffer next time you face that pretty boy."

Ji Luo sincerely offered his advice.

Ding Huan shook his head: "Not necessary."

Ji Luo looked at Ding Huan in bewilderment. No matter how strong Ding Huan was, the magical treasure remained crucial.

Oftentimes, magical treasures determined victory.

Ding Huan looked in the direction Zuo Shanyi left and said: "I use a spear because I first obtained the knowledge from the leather scroll's inheritance and gained the Nine Divine Skills.

Zuo Shanyi's spear technique also originates from that leather scroll. I created the Great Universe Technique on my own, why can't I create new divine spells?"

When the Reincarnation Spear couldn't withstand the Slaughter Demon Sword, Ding Huan decided to change his magical treasure.

In his view, knowledge is universally applicable and priceless. He could utilize these foundational knowledge but couldn't rely on the finished products constructed from it.

The first spear of the Nine Divine Skills, Soul Fragment, essentially restored the original Nine Divine Skills and could be counted as the leather scroll owner's divine skill.

This prompted him to prepare to change his magical treasure.
