Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1097 - 1090: Zuo Budu’s Might

The man wasn't angry because of Ding Huan's words. After glancing up and down at Ding Huan, he actually nodded:

"It's quite impressive that you managed to take away my Creation Dao Principles. Your current attitude shows you believe your strength can rival mine. In reality, you've never encountered a true powerhouse.

But I admire you. One of my subordinates was killed not long ago. If you can take his place and work for me, I can offer you a Great Dao opportunity beyond your wildest dreams.

One day, you might even stand on equal footing with me when contemplating the universe beneath the Great Dao."

Ding Huan didn't reply, contemplating his chances against this man if they fought.

This person before him was undoubtedly stronger than Xin Changkong. He had defeated Xin Changkong partly because of Xin Changkong's carelessness and a stroke of luck.

Both he and Xin Changkong were injured, but his recovery abilities were superior.

Now his strength had ascended another level compared to when he first dealt with Xin Changkong.

Yet he was still in the Seventh Step of the Great Dao and hadn't entered the Eighth Step of the Great Dao.

The guy in front of him was undoubtedly stronger than Xin Changkong. Defeating him wouldn't be simple. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"What Great Dao opportunity do you want to give me?"

Ding Huan asked.

He truly wanted to know what kind of Great Dao opportunity Zuo Budu could offer him.

This ancient powerhouse like Zuo Budu surely knew much more than him. It wouldn't hurt to gather more information from this guy.

Just like how he learned about the Ten Directions Universe from Su Qianshan and Ye Xuan.

After years of seclusion, he'd gained understanding of the Source Principle and the Position Realm.

Zuo Budu chuckled lightly: "As long as you pledge allegiance to me, I will tell you all this. As for the Creation Dao Principles you took; I won't ask for them back.

Because to me, the Creation Dao Principles are insignificant. You don't understand now, but you will in time.

Of course, you can't just verbally pledge allegiance to me. You'll have to complete some tasks I assign and then swear upon certain Dao Principles."

Ding Huan said nothing; this guy was dreaming.

Seeing Ding Huan's silence, Zuo Budu continued, "I am Zuo Budu, from the Realm of Creation, trapped here due to someone else's scheme.

I had a subordinate named Fang Luo. I sent him out to handle some matters, and he was killed by a cultivator named Lan Xiaobu.

This Lan Xiaobu also took one of my Creation Dao Principles. I've heard that Lan Xiaobu has an island called Changsheng Island outside the World of Gods.

The reason I'm here is to find Changsheng Island. The first thing I want you to do is find Changsheng Island in my stead, and the second is to find several other individuals who have taken my Creation Dao Principles."

Zuo Budu spoke slowly, seemingly certain Ding Huan would agree.

Or rather, he could compel Ding Huan to agree even if he initially refused.

"Father, I know Fang Luo. Senior Lan killed him when he bullied Senior Di He and Sister Wan Rong..."

Nian Huan quickly transmitted a message to Ding Huan.

Simultaneously, Shi Changxing messaged Ding Huan, "Mr. Ding, I'm sure Xiao Bu has a traitor in his midst. Otherwise, there's no way this person would know about his Long Life Island."

Ding Huan had heard Lan Xiaobu's name countless times, and Lan Xiaobu was also friends with Mo Wuji and Shi Changxing.

In any respect, Ding Huan couldn't let this guy continue seeking out Lan Xiaobu's Longevity Realm.

"In that case, let me see if you're worth Mr. Huan aiding you with your affairs."

Having said that, Ding Huan launched out the Breaking Tribulation Blade, slashing down fiercely.

When the slash was launched, it seemed rather ordinary. As the sword force detonated in the void, the void shook intensely.

It was as if a massive rock had crashed onto a delicate porcelain plate, causing cracks to appear...

Countless fissures manifested in the void, seemingly beginning to collapse.

And Zuo Budu stood amidst this void; he didn't even require a magical treasure, merely launching out a punch.

Boom!

The violent divine skills' Dao Rhythms erupted, causing the initially superficial void collapse to manifest as a massive collapse.

Yet, this collapsing void seemed to have no effect on Zuo Budu standing within it. Not only that, Zuo Budu took a step forward, launching another punch towards Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's Tao Domain wildly surged, and the Breaking Tribulation Blade had nothing held back, slashing towards Zuo Budu's punch.

He could just block it with the Cosmic Seal, but Ding Huan knew that merely blocking wasn't enough.

Because from the earlier exchange, it was clear he couldn't defeat Zuo Budu.

This guy was too strong, terrifyingly strong.

Boom! The endless Void Law shattered once more, and Ding Huan's Tao Domain broke apart like an eggshell in an instant.

Ding Huan was sent flying.

The terrifying corrosive Taoist rhythms penetrated through, allowing Ding Huan to distinctly hear the breaking of his own meridians and bones.

Fortunately, his recovery abilities were exceedingly strong, and by the time he landed on the Cosmic Pot, his injuries had mostly healed.

"Huh!"

Zuo Budu let out a surprised sound. His previous punch wasn't meant to merely send Ding Huan flying but to bind him within his Tao Domain.

But unexpectedly, Ding Huan forcibly endured the attack of his divine skills' Dao Rhythms.

Not only that, but he also tore apart the bind of his Tao Domain, ending up propelled away.

Of course, this was only on the surface.

In reality, Ding Huan intentionally let himself be sent flying; otherwise, he wouldn't have landed perfectly on that pot.

Indeed remarkable, no wonder he could seize one of his Creation Dao Principles.

As soon as he landed on the Cosmic Pot, Ding Huan passed the control of the pot to Jia Baihe: "Baihe, you all head back to Blue Star Island immediately, go now."

"Father, let me help you..."

Nian Huan, seeing his father wasn't his opponent, grew anxious and prepared to use the Vast Stone Ball to assist.

However, in the next moment, Jia Baihe had already controlled the Cosmic Pot, swiftly retreating.

She gave no chance for Nian Huan to step in.

Compared to Nian Huan, Jia Baihe understood Ding Huan much better.

If they could actually aid him against Zuo Budu, Ding Huan would surely have asked for their help.

Since Ding Huan let them go, it means that even if they joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for Zuo Budu.

In that case, she should listen to Ding Huan and leave as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it would only put Ding Huan at a disadvantage.

Nian Huan stepping in would only add to the chaos.

Even though Ding Huan is no match for Zuo Budu, Jia Baihe believes that if Ding Huan wants to leave, he will surely find a way.

As to why Ding Huan didn't leave with them, she trusts that Ding Huan has his reasons.

Ding Huan indeed has his own reasons.

Even if he controls the Cosmic Pot to escape, he might not be able to evade Zuo Budu's pursuit.

Zuo Budu's current strength, even if not equal to Su Qianshan, is not far off.

The key point is that Zuo Budu is still injured, and his Great Dao is not yet complete.

Otherwise, Ding Huan estimates that even Su Qianshan might not be able to defeat Zuo Budu.

There's another thing, this is where Lan Xiaobu's Longevity Island is located.

If Zuo Budu finds Longevity Island, it would be completely annihilated.

Just like his Blue Star Island.

If Jia Baihe and Nian Huan were on Blue Star Island and it was found by Zuo Budu, it would surely be refined by Zuo Budu into a Little World.

If Longevity Island is destroyed by Zuo Budu, Ding Huan estimates that Lan Xiaobu's Great Dao will end here.

For anyone else, if such a thing happened, their Great Dao would also bear the scars.

He's hoping to join hands with Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji to deal with those old fogeys in the center of the World of Gods.

So when he encountered it, no matter from which angle, he should lend a hand.

As for the Cosmic Pot taking Jia Baihe and Nian Huan away, Zuo Budu didn't mind, nor did he give chase, he merely expanded his Tao Domain to lock the Void space where Ding Huan was.

What he cared about was Ding Huan.

"You've already tested my means just now. Are you going to surrender, or shall I take action?"

Zuo Budu stared at Ding Huan, his tone exceedingly calm.

"Mr. Huan is not in the habit of surrendering..."

As Ding Huan spoke, the Cosmic Seal quietly rested in his palm.

If it were anyone else, Ding Huan would have already made his move while speaking.

He couldn't defeat Zuo Budu, and making the first move would be meaningless.

Dealing with Zuo Budu couldn't be like dealing with Su Qianshan, planned in advance with ambush and schemes.

He could only find opportunities within the fighting.

Zuo Budu chuckled, and the giant hammer in his hand suddenly rose.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Void seemed like an eggshell, collapsing massively under this giant hammer, endless Void black holes appeared, and the shattered Void rules resembled a world-ending Calamity...

Zuo Budu stood amidst the collapsing Void, unaffected in the slightest.

The collapsing Void affected Ding Huan.

Feeling the terrifying momentum pressing the space he was in into fragments, Ding Huan could only call forth the Cosmic Seal.

The Breaking Tribulation Blade had no advantage against such a terrifying hammer force.

Ding Huan originally wanted to save the Cosmic Seal to ambush Zuo Budu.

Unfortunately, Zuo Budu's strength far surpassed his estimation, and he could only prematurely release the ambushing Cosmic Seal.

At this moment, even if he wanted to call forth the Breaking Tribulation Blade for a strike at the opponent, it was impossible.

At this moment, Ding Huan experienced the difficulty his previous opponents faced when facing him.

When the power of the Great Dao differs too much, the heart is willing but powerless to act.

Boom!

Crack!

The terrifying black holes of the shattered Void rolled in, making it impossible for Ding Huan to stabilize himself.

Pff!

The terrifying Taoist Rhythm of the Great Dao attacked through the opponent's Divine Power Domain, coupled with the backlash of the Cosmic Seal's Dao Rhythm, Ding Huan spat out streams of blood arrows, and his bones consecutively broke.

His meridians likewise consecutively ruptured.

Fortunately, the Cosmic Seal finally blocked that hammer from the opponent.

Ding Huan sighed, he grabbed the Cosmic Seal and unhesitatingly fled into the black hole of the Void.

He couldn't hold back Zuo Budu here, and the gap in power was too large.

To take down Zuo Budu, he would need to find allies.

Ding Huan was sure, Zuo Budu wouldn't let him go so easily.

As long as Zuo Budu pursued him, he could lead him away.

Indeed, without a moment's thought, Zuo Budu charged in the direction Ding Huan fled.

Took his Creation Dao Principle, and still wants to leave?

He offered Ding Huan a chance to serve him, an enormous favor, but since Ding Huan chose to refuse, don't blame him for refining Ding Huan into his own Treasure Dao Spirit.

At this moment, Ding Huan disregarded the black holes of the Void and the disorientation of positions, he charged towards wherever there were Void Rifts.

Boom! Zuo Budu accurately captured the direction in which Ding Huan fled.

In almost an instant, he crossed the Void distance Ding Huan had fled, and the giant hammer once again struck towards Ding Huan.

Ding Huan could only hurl out the Cosmic Seal.

If he didn't block this hammer, this hammer might shatter him into fragments even across the realm.

(Goodnight, fellow cultivator!)
