Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1118 - 1111: Di Xin

Di Xin?

Ding Huan stared at the tall, somewhat ethereal figure before him; it was the second time he had heard this name.

The first time was when Lan Xiaobu mentioned it during a discussion among them, where Lan Xiaobu talked about Di Xin.

When Lan Xiaobu was at the center of the chaos, he captured a guy named Qi Yuan, who told Lan Xiaobu that the controller of the chaos center was Di Xin.

Initially, the one they were wary of was Pang Bozi, the being who could threaten them across the boundary with a hand seal, was merely a subordinate of Di Xin.

According to Lan Xiaobu's inference, the chaos center is controlled by a group of powerful beings who usually do nothing but consume resources for cultivation.

As for maintaining the chaos center and guarding the World of Gods, that was left to be done by others below them.

For instance, Pang Bozi.

In the World of Gods, this guy was akin to the Heavenly Dao, but in the chaos center, he was just a nobody.

The second time he heard of Di Xin was when Lv Bingqi gave him the black stone sphere.

The stone sphere was locked by a Source Principle Restriction, and after he unlocked it, there was a message left by a guy named Qing Qi.

Qing Qi had been imprisoned by Di Xin and requested him to go to the Nine Heavens to seek assistance from Hong Jun.

He had indeed been to the Nine Heavens, but regrettably, the Nine Heavens had been taken away by Hong Jun once again.

"Mr. Ding, I seem to have heard of this person, he, he..."

Xian Qingan said, finally recalling who this person was, with a faint tremble in his voice.

Ding Huan's voice was exceptionally calm: "Master Xian, you don't need to worry.

Di Xin is indeed very powerful, but the Di Xin before us is likely just a fictitious body of Di Xin's Dao Thought or a kind of avatar."

Despite saying this, Ding Huan was almost certain in his heart that this was not just an avatar of Di Xin, but a Dao Thought entity.

To refine one's Dao Thought to such a substantial level, Ding Huan knew that among the people he knew, there was probably no one who could achieve this.

This was not simply an illusion; illusions are mere representations.

The Dao Thought entity before him was an existence capable of employing Taoist Divine Power.

Even the Kui Feng who had attacked him before probably couldn't manage this.

Di Xin looked at Ding Huan in surprise: "You have quite the insight. Do you know why I haven't killed you yet?"

Ding Huan didn't answer; he was contemplating his chances of victory.

Facing Di Xin's true form, there was no point in calculating because he was sure he was not a match.

Facing Di Xin's Dao Thought entity, he still had a chance.

The Dao Thought entity had numerous limitations, including temporary tactical measures and limited perception abilities.

Even if he couldn't match it, he wouldn't be crushed by it.

Ding Huan, despite everything, was an authentic Eighth Step of Great Dao.

An Eighth Step of Great Dao being crushed by a mere fictitious Dao Thought entity would indeed be pathetic.

"Ji Yuanan was a significant investment for me, who only just began working for me, and you killed him. So, your only chance of surviving is to replace Ji Yuanan."

After Di Xin said this, he merely used his Tao Domain to lock Ding Huan without taking any action.

He was waiting for Ding Huan's response.

Di Xin also internally regretted, thinking, if only he had seen Ding Huan sooner, he wouldn't have needed to cultivate Ji Yuanan at all.

Truly a waste of his time and resources.

Ding Huan's Domain merely protected the space around him; he did not launch an attack, seemingly pondering Di Xin's words seriously.

In reality, Ding Huan felt there was a third person present.

The third person in his mind was neither Xian Qingan nor Tan Tai Zilan nor Gu Changyu.

It was someone intending to influence the battle between him and Di Xin.

Ding Huan was deeply shaken.

He grasped the Heaven and Earth Rules, the Law of All Things, and even the Cosmic Origin Principle.

Everything in the universe, in theory, should be within his sensory range.

Yet someone was entering his battle, and he could only vaguely sense it, unable to clearly discern where that someone was, or who they might be.

Regardless of this person's strength, merely their Concealing Technique could perhaps rival Mo Wuji.

Absolutely, it was someone with immense understanding of the Source Principle, able to perfectly utilize surrounding Space Source Rules to achieve this.

This person definitely wasn't Mo Wuji.

If it were Mo Wuji, he wouldn't be so alarmed.

Could it be an adversary of Di Xin?

Perhaps intending to ambush Di Xin during their confrontation?

This seemed possible, albeit unlikely.

Di Xin was not present, only a Dao Thought entity.

If one were to eliminate Di Xin, it would only add to Di Xin's ire and hatred, yielding no benefit.

If not acting against Di Xin, then the target could only be himself.

Ding Huan refrained from extending his Divine Will for a thorough probe.

No matter how strong Di Xin might be, only a Dao Thought entity stood before him now.

This entity might be stronger than him, but as long as the original form wasn't here, its sixth sense was definitely inferior to his.

Thus, he could sense the existence of a third concealing person, who may not be detectable by the opponent.

If the third entity was there to aid him, probing for it would only alert Di Xin that a third person might be present.

A more likely scenario was the third party intending to exploit the situation against him, Ding Huan; if he got suppressed by Di Xin, it would spell disaster.

"It seems you are unwilling." After saying this, Di Xin, without any hesitation, reached out with a palm to grab at Ding Huan.

Such a technique showed an attitude of utter disdain, like a top-tier power dealing with an ant.

As Di Xin's hand seal descended, Ding Huan's Tao Domain quickly collapsed, and the space he occupied began to contract.

Ding Huan finally understood where Ji Yuanan's Star Domain Ring Divine Skill had originated.

It was undoubtedly imparted by Di Xin.

Unlike Ji Yuanan, Di Xin doesn't need to rely on an abacus magical treasure to execute this divine skill.

Ding Huan's Breaking Tribulation Blade Force frantically gathers, the sword intent continuously climbing.

But he just won't strike out.

Even though Ding Huan's Taoist Rhythm is gradually torn by this compressing space, and blood leaks from the corner of his mouth, he just won't draw his blade.

All rules in the space continue to shatter, and the entire space starts to collapse.

After Ding Huan's protective Dao Rhythm cracks, even his bones emit a faint breaking sound, and if this continues, his Tao Foundation will develop cracks.

Even so, Ding Huan still doesn't strike.

"Eh..."

Di Xin looks puzzled at Ding Huan, the spatial pressure relaxes slightly.

"Have you figured it out?"

Seeing Ding Huan not making a move, he thought Ding Huan was not truly unwilling to replace Ji Yuanan's position.

This can't be blamed on Di Xin.

In the World of Gods' legend, he, Di Xin, is regarded as a taboo.

Much like in Ancient China's legend, where Chaos is opened by Pangu.

Di Xin's status in the World of Gods is equivalent to Pangu in Hua Xia's legends.

Ding Huan missed the best moment to strike, Di Xin felt Ding Huan might want to side with him.

Otherwise, it would be a death wish.

This is the most sensible choice.

As he prepared to imprison Ding Huan, a deathly aura tore across the collapsing space towards Di Xin.

Simultaneously, Ding Huan finally drew his blade.

Di Xin's protective Dao Rhythm shattered instantly, followed by a yellow glow tearing apart Di Xin's undefended Dao physique.

Or rather, with his focus entirely on dealing with Ding Huan, Di Xin's Dao Thought body couldn't guard against anything else.

Boom!

Di Xin's fist collided with Ding Huan's Breaking Tribulation Blade.

What collapsed was no longer space, but the domain.

Ding Huan felt the turbulent Daoist Rhythm surge from the Breaking Tribulation Blade, sending him flying, and he spewed a blood arrow.

Ding Huan knew clearly, Di Xin made a misjudgment.

In his haste, Di Xin thought that deathly aura was also his technique, not knowing there was a third person lurking here.

If it were Di Xin himself, he definitely wouldn't make such a mistake.

This is the drawback of the Dao Thought body.

Though Di Xin's punch suppressed his Breaking Tribulation Blade Force and incidentally sent him flying.

But he hadn't gone all out; he merely cooperated with the sneak attacker.

"You're seeking death..." Di Xin roared furiously.

Ding Huan saw a short figure seizing something from Di Xin's Dao Thought body.

Di Xin's Dao Thought only let out a furious roar, then disintegrated into nothingness in the void, vanishing.

He probably realized he had no chance of winning.

The confrontation happened within a single breath, and before those around could react, it was over.

Ding Huan glanced at the thin cultivator who hadn't left, and his domain surged again: "Shi Keling, it's been a long time. I knew you wouldn't die so soon."

The thin man's aura suddenly changed, and he became clear; it was none other than Zuo Shanyi.

Zuo Shanyi said indifferently, "Ding Huan, is this how you treat your lifesaver?"

Ding Huan's domain struck down: "You are indeed my lifesaver, if I hadn't known you were here, perhaps it wouldn't be Di Xin's Dao Thought getting killed, but rather me, Ding Huan."

Ding Huan was certain Zuo Shanyi was targeting him.

This guy had been planning to ambush him all along.

Yet, he simply never gave him the opportunity.

Until he killed Ji Yuanan and Di Xin appeared, this guy finally caught a chance.

But by then, he'd realized a third person was here.

Zuo Shanyi knew full well that if he didn't act now, he'd have to escape immediately.

So Zuo Shanyi changed his ambush target from him to Di Xin.

Zuo Shanyi definitely snatched a top-level Supreme Treasure from Di Xin; as for what it was, Ding Huan didn't see clearly.

"Those are unimportant; what matters is I saved you, and I helped you kill Di Xin, offending a tough character." Zuo Shanyi said unconcernedly.

Ding Huan swung his Breaking Tribulation Blade again.

This time, he used eighty percent of his power.

How Zuo Shanyi got so lucky to reach this level of strength is beyond knowing.

Boom!

Divine Ability Rhythm exploded in the void, and Longevity Palace completely disappeared.

Zuo Shanyi spat a blood arrow, retreating with Ding Huan's blade force out of Ding Huan's Tao Domain.

"Ding Huan, I'm no match for you now, but we shouldn't be opponents.

We've both offended Di Xin, you should know Di Xin's strength is far superior to ours. If we don't join forces, we're just sending ourselves to die."

Zuo Shanyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, speaking sincerely.

Ding Huan knew this guy was a snake, his eyes locked onto Zuo Shanyi: "I fought Di Xin fiercely, spat blood several times, suffered heavy injuries, and gained nothing.

While you profited as I held off Di Xin, getting considerable benefits, you dare talk of alliance?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Ding Quan had no idea what benefits Zuo Shanyi gained, but surely it wasn't simple.

Would Zuo Shanyi offend Di Xin over something trivial?

(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
