Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1126 - 1119: Playing Under the Lamp’s Shadow

Neither Ding Huan nor Mo Wuji had expected that their wanderings would bring them back to Tongti Star Land again.

"This guy has quite the mental fortitude to pull this off."

Ding Huan chuckled as he stood outside Tongti Star Land.

He hadn't expected Void to resort to trickery under their noses, returning to Tongti Star Land to merge with his Dao Pearl.

"Too bad there's not enough time; otherwise, we'd surely lock Tongti Star Land within a Position Realm," Mo Wuji lamented.

Once Void started merging the Dao Pearl, the secrets within would undoubtedly be discovered.

"We can't completely eliminate this guy either; let's at least take half of his life," Ding Huan felt a bit regretful.

It was impossible to kill Void in one go.

Not to mention, as long as Void's two avatars hadn't been killed, Void wouldn't perish.

But as long as they destroyed Void's physical form today and obliterated his Primordial Spirit,

this guy, when he returns, wouldn't pose much of a threat to them again.

Once Void loses both his physical body and Primordial Spirit, he won't be able to return anytime soon.

"Should we teleport into Tongti Star Land?"

"Yes, let's teleport over."

...

In a corner of Dry Tao City in Tongti Star Land.

A man who appeared extremely kind-hearted sat within the barrier he had just set up, taking out the Dao Pearl.

This man was none other than Void, whom Ding Huan and Mo Wuji aimed to deal with.

Looking at the Dao Pearl in his hand, Void let out a long breath.

Although he hadn't perfectly achieved his goal, being able to peel away Ding Huan's Dao Pearl was satisfying enough for him. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Ding Huan had grown too rapidly, surpassing even Void's plans.

He had never seen anyone reach Ding Huan's level within hundreds of thousands of years.

Not to mention creating the Great Dao on one's own; even with mountains of resources practicing the Universe Cultivation Technique, reaching Ding Huan's level in hundreds of thousands of years was impossible.

After a long time, Void shook his head.

Indeed, planning is up to humans, but accomplishing it is up to heaven.

If his plan had perfectly succeeded, he, Void, would be the foremost figure in the Vast Universe.

Si Wu, haha...

Si Wu was indeed formidable, but in the historical torrents he, Void, had traversed, Si Wu was nothing remarkable.

The pity was that the two people he had high hopes for both grew beyond his control.

As for the backup plans, none of them were up to his standards.

Ding Huan was initially a mere insignificant existence among his chosen individuals. It was only after Ding Huan created the Great Universe Technique that he ranked Ding Huan first.

This Ding Huan, too, came very close to escaping his grasp.

Luckily, before Ding Huan comprehended the Ninth Step, Void managed to strip the Dao Pearl off Ding Huan.

According to his plan, he shouldn't have moved against Ding Huan at this time.

Unfortunately, Ding Huan's growth rate exceeded even his.

Once Ding Huan steps into the Ninth Step, he is bound to detect the flaws in the Great Dao.

With Ding Huan's capabilities, it's possible he truly could separate out the Dao Pearl.

He had no choice but to act early.

If it wasn't for Si Wu being so useless, would Void be in such a situation?

In his hand, the Dao Rhythm of the Dao Pearl circulated, the Cosmic Rules of the Great Universe Technique were vast and boundless, and the Heaven and Earth Source Rules breath was exceptionally clear.

Void calmed his excited emotions; after today, he would construct his own Second Universe Rules.

That was the Great Universe Technique Ding Huan had created for him.

...

"Goodness, he really knows how to choose places, actually finding Dry Tao City."

When Ding Huan brought Mo Wuji outside Dry Tao City, they could hardly believe that Void had also chosen this place to merge the Dao Pearl.

Originally, he and Hou Yucheng had hidden in Dry Tao City too.

"You know this place?"

"Yes, back then I met a friend named Hou Yucheng here; he brought me here."

Mentioning this, Ding Huan patted his head, "Lao Hou has mentioned you more than once; he has a lot of trust in you."

Mo Wuji looked at Ding Huan with surprise, "Ding Huan, did you meet Hou Yucheng? Where is he?"

"Hou Yucheng is in Ducheng of Fog Realm, we can visit Lao Hou after we return; he's truly a good friend."

The two reminisced about Hou Yucheng, filled with emotion.

Initially, they were both quite happy, even a little excited.

As time passed, both Ding Huan and Mo Wuji sensed something amiss.

Void had yet to take action, which couldn't continue like this.

Mo Wuji turned to Ding Huan, "Why is this guy dawdling so much, hasn't started yet?"

Ding Huan shook his head, "I can only sense that this guy has taken out the Dao Pearl; he hasn't started merging yet, which is unusual.

Logically, shouldn't this guy begin merging the Dao Pearl immediately? Does he expect the Dao Pearl to merge with him on its own?"

Mo Wuji seriously inquired, "Is there a way for the Dao Pearl to automatically merge with him?"

"No, but there's an opportunity: when this guy's Divine Will infiltrates the Dao Pearl, I can trigger the Dao Pearl.

But in such circumstances, the damage would be reduced, and it's very likely we won't be able to destroy the opponent's Primordial Spirit.

Moreover, until now, this guy's Divine Will hasn't infiltrated the Dao Pearl."

Mo Wuji decisively stated, "Ding Huan, we can't passively wait. Once Void's Divine Will penetrates the Dao Pearl, trigger it immediately.

We can't wait for this guy to complete the merger on his own; a lesser victory is better than no victory at all.

This guy isn't weaker than that Ancient Wound, we can't underestimate him.

If we fail to eliminate half his life this time and he grows stronger, we might never have the chance to comprehend the Ninth Step."

Ding Huan nodded, realizing Mo Wuji's words made sense.

When the Void took the initiative to fuse the Dao Pearl, though there was a chance, what if the other party became suspicious?

Thus the opportunity wasn't very promising.

He couldn't treat the Void as an ordinary person. This guy was not only adept at calculation, but also extremely deep in schemes.

Ding Huan and Mo Wuji were anxious, while the Void was completely unhurried.

Before fusing Ding Huan's Dao Pearl, the Void once again reviewed his own Great Dao.

He aimed to construct the Dao Principles of his own Second Universe, so he couldn't afford to be careless.

After all, this Dao Pearl in his hand wasn't easy to come by.

If he had been a breath later back then, he wouldn't have been able to take the Dao Pearl.

Ding Huan's companion named Mo Wuji wasn't simple. Whether in terms of strength, Great Dao, or perception of the Great Dao, he was not weaker than Ding Huan.

Unfortunately, he failed to place his Great Dao imprint on Mo Wuji, nor did he let this guy obtain his leather scroll.

His Great Dao missed a top Dao Principle not inferior to the Great Universe Technique.

Mo Wuji's strength now wasn't equal to his, but given time, he would be a huge threat.

If Mo Wuji were simple, then when Si Wu ambushed Mo Wuji and Ding Huan, Mo Wuji wouldn't have been able to escape simultaneously with Ding Huan.

The timing was calculated...

When the Void thought of this, his mind suddenly became clear.

Mo Wuji's grasp of timing was so precise, how could he possibly allow himself to act only after the Void had deprived Ding Huan of the Dao Pearl?

Moreover, he had just stripped away Ding Huan's Dao Pearl and hadn't yet torn apart Ding Huan's Great Dao Foundation. This gap was nearly imperceptible.

Yet Mo Wuji chose this moment to strike.

Could it be intentional?

Knowing that this possibility was small, the Void still felt a thorn in his heart.

If Mo Wuji had done it intentionally, then there was a problem with this Dao Pearl.

If such things could be deliberately timed, how terrifying was Mo Wuji?

Thinking of this, the Void instinctively allowed his Divine Will to penetrate into the Dao Pearl.

He also made a choice in his heart: even if his Divine Will couldn't sense any wrong with the Dao Pearl, he wouldn't choose to fuse immediately.

He's survived until now because of utmost caution.

Almost simultaneously with the penetration of his Divine Will into the Dao Pearl, endless Taoist Aura frenziedly rolled outward along with his Divine Will.

Ding Huan chose to trigger the Dao Pearl the moment he sensed the Void's Divine Will.

Followed by mottled Dao Rhythm, Corrosive Dao Poison, various Daoist Malice, and filthy aura...

Actively merging into his Great Dao.

At this moment, not only had the Void extended his Divine Will, but his Tao Domain also constantly protected him.

These negative Daoist aromas suddenly exploded along his Divine Will, not only eroding his Divine Will but also actively penetrating into his Sea of Consciousness, and even beginning to corrode his Tao Domain.

Danger...

The Void knew that he had been tricked again.

The Taoist Aura around him circulated madly, trying to strip away this corrosive Dao Rhythm.

This, however, required time.

Fortunately he hadn't fused, and with just ten breaths of time, he could leave comfortably.

Unfortunately, not to mention ten breaths, even three breaths weren't available.

Just as the Void began crazily stripping away the Corrosive Dao Rhythm and various Daoist Malices, a Sword Curtain fell from the Void.

Sealing the space where the Void was.

"Puh!"

The Void spat out a Blood Arrow.

He wasn't suppressed by Ding Huan's Sword Force but was furious.

Scheming laboriously for hundreds of thousands of years, only for Ding Huan to borrow things from him to create the Great Universe Technique.

Becoming a powerful figure in a realm.

Just when he thought this Great Universe Technique would become his compensation, unexpectedly, he was instead tricked by Ding Huan.

Being schemed by an ant in his eyes, how indescribable was this humiliation?

The Void forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest; he had to leave, and leave now.

Even though his Great Dao was corroded by the mottled Dao Rhythm within Ding Huan's Dao Pearl, fortunately, he hadn't started the fusion, so things weren't utterly terrible yet.

The Void frantically tore open the Sword Intent Domain, completely disregarding Ding Huan's Slaughter Blade Curtain, and desperately charged out.

"Kacha!"

One of the Void's arms was casually sliced off by the Breaking Tribulation Blade.

The Void took advantage of this one arm to escape, pirouetting out of the Breaking Tribulation Blade Curtain.

Yet in the next moment, a colossal Finger Seal of the Great Dao appeared in the sky.

Under the Finger Seal, all things return to mundanity.

The Seventh Finger of the Seven Realms, Return to the Ordinary.

Mo Wuji knew the Void wasn't any simple character. If he let the Void escape whole today, he and Ding Huan would face great danger later.

Bang!

Under one finger, all things returned to mundanity.

Pow!

The Void's flesh exploded, transformed into boundless blood mist, disappearing in the sky above the desolate Tao City.

Then, the figures of Ding Huan and Mo Wuji revealed themselves.

"His Primordial Spirit escaped." Mo Wuji said.

He didn't feel regretful.

Being able to destroy the Void's flesh was sufficient.

Ding Huan also accepted this reality.

If the Void had fused his Dao Pearl, not only could they have destroyed the Void's flesh today, but also his Primordial Spirit.

It's his fault for not choosing to fuse.

(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
