Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1122 - 1115: Ancient Wound

Mo Wuji almost didn't even think about it; his aura suddenly burst forth, and the killing power of the Mortal Halberd also gathered frantically.

In the next moment, Mo Wuji and Ding Huan vanished from their original spot, using the force of this powerful aura.

The two of them escaped.

Boom!

Two hammer shadows crashed down from the void, obliterating the space where Ding Huan and Mo Wuji had stood, turning it into nothingness.

Even the black-clothed man and the yellow-clothed man in the distance were swept away by the killing force of the giant hammers, spewing blood arrows in the air, and the Taoist Aura visibly weakened.

After being injured again, these black-clothed and yellow-clothed men did not continue to pursue Ding Huan and Mo Wuji. Instead, they fled in the same direction and disappeared.

An hour later, Ding Huan and Mo Wuji reunited, having long since moved far away from where the battle had taken place.

Both of them looked a bit unwell.

Firstly, because they had exerted great effort in their escape, it was very exhausting.

Secondly, neither Mo Wuji nor Ding Huan had ever encountered such powerful adversaries before.

"Ding Huan, if it weren't for your timely warning, we would be dead. I've never seen such powerful adversaries; could it be Mo Yuantian?"

Even someone like Mo Wuji, who had seen many grand scenes, couldn't help but feel a bit fearful.

They had been targeted, and the enemy was ready to ambush them at any time. Yet, they were completely unaware and were about to focus all their efforts on the black-clothed and yellow-clothed men.

If they had really made a move, at the moment they acted, the twin hammers would have come crashing down. No matter how strong they were, they would have been severely injured.

The lightest of such injuries would mean losing their physical body.

They made a quick decision to flee, narrowly escaping a disaster.

"It shouldn't be Mo Yuantian."

Ding Huan was equally frightened, recalling the powerful Taoist Aura when those two hammers descended.

Although he and Mo Wuji had already escaped the range of the killing force, the terrifying momentum still made his heart race even now.

Ding Huan was almost certain that the one wielding the twin hammers was not Mo Yuantian.

If it were Mo Yuantian, there would be no need for such an ambush.

The man could have intercepted the two of them openly, and even if they joined forces, they wouldn't have been Mo Yuantian's match.

"If not for Mo Yuantian, how did Ye Xuan provoke such powerful adversaries?" Mo Wuji took a deep breath. Even after reaching the Eighth Step, he found himself still so weak.

Ding Huan said slowly, "Maybe these two weren't provoked by Ye Xuan, but by me."

Mo Wuji shook his head, "Ding Huan, I'm not talking about the yellow-clothed and black-clothed men, but about the ones who orchestrated the hammer attack to ambush us."

Ding Huan's tone turned solemn, "I know, and I'm not talking about them either. We wouldn't fear the yellow-clothed and black-clothed men even if they faced us directly, especially since they were severely wounded by our ambush.

I'm talking about two other individuals..."

Upon hearing Ding Huan's grave tone, Mo Wuji realized they were not simple characters.

"Let's find a safe place to discuss this in detail. We're still too close to that place. By the way, can you retrieve your Cosmic Pot?" Mo Wuji, hearing there was a fourth person, became even more cautious.

Ding Huan shook his head, "The Cosmic Pot is trapped in a Void Canyon and can't break free. I need to find it. However, I believe we don't need to leave here; it's safe."

"Why?"

"Because one of the individuals who ambushed us today likely can only ambush once and cannot track us down.

This individual's origins might be even more terrifying than Mo Yuantian, from an ancient past. I did indeed take something from him, back then I took one of his eyes.

And his remaining Tao Body was just a Blood Peak. If not for that hammer, I wouldn't have believed that individual could still take action."

Ding Huan was almost certain it was the true form of Sword Source Blood Peak that attacked them.

Ding Huan did not know which great power's remnant Sword Source Blood Peak was, but since it had only this much corporeal form left and was pinned by Dao Nail for countless years, its ability was only sufficient for an ambush.

And it could only ambush once.

Mo Wuji was somewhat perplexed, "What do you mean?"

Ding Huan explained from their entry into Tongti Star Land, ultimately talking about how he ambushed Su Qianshan and took Su Qianshan's Great Dao Eye. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

It was probably this event that angered the remnant power of Sword Source Blood Peak.

Mo Wuji snorted, "Ding Huan, by the look of it, you were a benefactor to that ancient wound.

I suspect that if you hadn't sabotaged Su Qianshan and taken Su Qianshan's Great Dao Eye, that ancient wound would not have had the capacity to ambush us.

This guy has no gratitude; he ambushes us instead. Truly ungrateful."

Ding Huan chuckled, "People who know gratitude and repay kindness are rare these days; such ungrateful ingrates are everywhere, I've seen many.

Whether ancient wounds or modern-day villains, they are all the same; there's nothing novel about it.

The ancient wound probably held a grudge against me because I didn't help abolish the Dao Nail and also took away the Great Dao Eye, hence holding a grudge."

Now that this guy could ambush us, obviously the Great Dao Nails on him had been removed, and his Dao Line had been severed. I can guess who removed his Great Dao Nail."

Ding Huan thought Mo Wuji's description of 'ancient wound' for Sword Source Blood Peak was quite apt, so he also referred to it as such.

"Who?"

Ding Huan took a deep breath, "I have a major grudge against this person; I only know he is called Tai Xu. Initially, he wanted to turn me into one of his avatars.

This guy is skilled in calculation methods; he got me to acquire a leather scroll, which was a backup plan for him to turn me into an avatar or possess me in the future.

As a result, my cultivation progressed too quickly, and I eventually discovered it, destroyed that leather scroll, and thus a great enmity was formed.

I suspect that the black-clothed figure and the yellow-clothed figure are just two more avatars of that guy. Those two weren't as lucky as me and were turned into avatars by the Void."

"Ding Huan, I understand. You're saying that aside from the yellow-clothed and black-clothed avatars, the Void is still hiding behind the scenes, teaming up with the Ancient Wound?"

Mo Wuji asked.

Ding Huan hesitated slightly before saying: "Initially, I thought that the Void did not have a true form, and to be reborn, he would need to use five avatars.

As my cultivation increased and my understanding of the Great Dao deepened, I am now certain that the true form of the Void definitely exists.

He wants to reach the peak of the universe and must merge the five avatars.

But this guy's ambition exceeds the heavens, yet his fate isn't great.

The leather scroll left with me was destroyed by me, and I suspect the other two also had issues."

Besides that faceless grey-robed figure, Ding Huan suspects Shi Keling is also one of the Void's prepared avatars.

Shi Keling is quite strange, having somehow destroyed the Void's avatar leather scroll and stripped the marking from his Divine Soul.

After a long contemplation, Mo Wuji fully understood Ding Huan's words.

The Void discovered the remnant body of the 'Ancient Wound' at the Blood Peak of the Sword Source in the Tongti Star Land, then saved the remnant body of the Ancient Wound, and they teamed up to plot against Ding Huan.

Not only did Ding Huan take away the leather scroll from the Void, but he also took the Great Dao Eye from the 'Ancient Wound'.

"Ding Huan, what do you think is the strength of the true form of the Void?" Mo Wuji caught on to the key point of the problem.

Ding Huan said that the Ancient Wound could only strike once, and the true form couldn't pursue them, which indicated it wasn't threatening.

So they only needed to consider the strength of the Void.

As for the Void's two avatars, the black-clothed and yellow-clothed ones were both injured by them and now posed no threat.

Ding Huan shook his head: "This is hard to say. I estimate that it should be slightly stronger than the avatars, but definitely limited. Otherwise, the guy wouldn't need to team up with the Ancient Wound."

Ding Huan thought that the best way now was to make a trip to the Tongti Star Land, but going there was also the most dangerous.

If his judgment was wrong, and the Wound had the ability to strike again, he and Mo Wuji might not even have a chance to escape, essentially walking into a trap.

"Ding Huan, I believe the best course of action now is to go to the Tongti Star Land and eliminate the Ancient Wound. Whether or not that guy can only strike once, this is our only chance.

Otherwise, if we let that guy recover, we'll have to face his second strike."

Mo Wuji decided decisively.

If the Ancient Wound was so terrifying the first time, could they count on having such luck the second time?

Ding Huan was very impressed.

Mo Wuji's thinking matched his own: without entering the tiger's lair, how could one get the tiger cub?

Going to Tongti Star Land now was indeed fraught with danger, but if they succeeded, it would remove the looming crisis.

If the Void and those two avatars could crush them, the Void wouldn't have sought cooperation with the 'Ancient Wound'.

"Good, I think the same." Ding Huan laughed heartily.

He had left a Source Principle tactic in the Blood Peak of the Sword Source, but now wasn't sure if it was still there.

But currently, he couldn't sense it.

"How do we get there? We need to be careful."

Mo Wuji knew Ding Huan would agree.

If Ding Huan was a timid person, he wouldn't have achieved what he had today.

Ding Huan chuckled: "We teleport there; I've left a Teleportation Array in the Tongti Star Land."

Mo Wuji was overjoyed: "Are you saying we can bypass the Star Land Protection Array's entrance and directly enter Tongti Star Land?"

"Exactly. However, if the Tongti Star Land was destroyed, teleporting there would mean stepping right into a trap."

"Impossible. If the Ancient Wound had the power to destroy Tongti Star Land, it would have struck more than once. Even if it wanted to destroy Tongti Star Land, now isn't the time."

Mo Wuji said without hesitation.

Ding Huan fully agreed:

"To go to Tongti Star Land, it's not enough to just transform; we also need to change our Taoist Aura to harmonize our Dao Rhythm with this part of Cosmic Law."

"That's simple…"

...

A hundred thousand miles outside the withered Tao City of Tongti Star Land.

Ding Huan's Teleportation Array was set up here.

There was already no sign of people here. After several upheavals in Tongti Star Land, even fewer people came by.

After a slight spatial fluctuation, two figures suddenly appeared.

It was the shape-shifted Ding Huan and Mo Wuji.

When Ding Huan and Mo Wuji landed, they were delighted, knowing that the first step was a success.

Their safe teleportation to this spot indicated that Tongti Star Land hadn't been destroyed by the 'Ancient Wound' yet.

(Goodnight, fellow Daoist!)
