Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1169 - 1162: They’ve All Been Scared Away

One of the Five Patriarch's, Si Wu's eyes were gouged out and thrown before them.

This was like a series of thunderous shocks exploding deep within everyone's soul.

At this moment, no one dared to speak. Ding Huan's cultivation seemed not to have reached the ninth step of the Great Dao, but could anyone discern the cultivation of the formidable figure who gouged out Si Wu's eyes?

Ding Huan looked at Qu Ba indifferently: "What is your name?"

As he spoke, his Domain of the Void Dao Network and his own Tao Domain had already merged, forming a completely new Tao Domain.

Had it been Ding Huan's own Tao Domain, that would be acceptable.

His Void Dao Network was theoretically carried by the First Universe.

Although he couldn't truly control the First Universe through the Void Dao Network, affecting a radius of dozens of miles was entirely feasible.

In the eyes of others, Ding Huan's Tao Domain constructed through the Void Dao Network seemed as if the entire universe had become his territory.

An intensely oppressive aura swept out, causing everyone, including Kui Feng, to instinctively retreat, their faces filled with terror.

Such a Tao Domain clearly felt as if it could control the universe.

They all had the feeling that any movement would be suppressed by Ding Huan's domain, followed by a judgment of life or death from him.

This was the realm they dreamed of reaching, yet none among them could achieve it.

Knowing they couldn't do it now, they understood they wouldn't be able to in the future either.

Under the oppressive force of such a space domain controlling part of the universe, who dared to move?

Even though any movement would reveal Ding Huan's Void Dao Network, none dared act.

Speaking of a Realm Lord's status?

Heh, the man had gouged out the eyes of one of the Five Patriarch's, Si Wu. What mattered a Realm Lord?

Even if someone doubted its authenticity, no one dared gamble with their life.

Even Shang was looking at Ding Huan in utter terror.

Earlier, Shang thought Ding Huan was bluffing, so he considered making up a background for Ding Huan, and even racked his brains thinking whose surname could make these individuals wary.

Now that Ding Huan had thrown out Si Wu's Tao Supreme Eye, even Shang was afraid.

Could Ding Huan truly be an unparalleled powerhouse?

Before, Ding Huan heavily injured Di Xin, and now he had gouged out one of Si Wu's eyes...

Could Ding Huan be genuinely formidable, rather than bluffing?

"Junior Qu Ba, currently the Third Realm Lord of the First Universe?"

Qu Ba sensed he was under Ding Huan's Tao Domain and dared not extend his domain, fearing to offend Ding Huan.

He was indeed ruthless, sparing no life in his eyes.

Yet he held his own life in high regard.

Ding Huan furrowed his brows and suddenly looked at Shang: "Didn't you say the Realm Lord was Mo Yuantian?"

Shang cautiously replied: "Senior, Mo Yuantian is the First Realm Lord, Qu Ba is the Third Realm Lord..."

Ding Huan sneered: "There is only one Realm Lord, what are you doing with a First and Third? Trash, acting as Realm Lord? I will naturally seek out Mo Yuantian..."

Having said this, he seemed to struggle with remembering something, furrowing his brows in contemplation.

Everyone present remained exceptionally silent.

No one wished to accidentally provoke Ding Huan into suddenly attacking.

The more Ding Huan looked down on them, the more they felt his background was not simple.

Consider the Three Dao of the Five Patriarch's; wasn't each of their status apparent?

Unknown to them, after a long while, Ding Huan finally stopped furrowing his brows in contemplation and said:

"Many things are rather vague to me; if anyone knows about my past, they can send a message to Shen Dai here.

Rest assured, no one will make you run in vain."

After saying this, Ding Huan withdrew the Void Tao Domain he constructed with the Void Dao Network.

When Ding Huan withdrew his domain, everyone felt immensely relieved.

The eerie feeling of being stalked within someone else's Tao Space vanished entirely.

Kui Feng breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Previously, he had some doubts.

Because Ding Huan's cultivation did not seem to reach the ninth step, he always felt Ding Huan's cultivation days hadn't been long.

Besides, would a top-tier powerhouse associate with Shang, Shen Dai, and the likes?

He dared not act, unwilling to gamble.

When finally hearing Ding Huan say he had forgotten much of his past, he understood.

Ding Huan likely was an unparalleled powerhouse from the time of the Cosmic initial divergence, contending for the cosmic dominance, perhaps even comparable to one of the Three Dao.

However, having failed in the cosmic power struggle, he dissipated within the cosmos.

A being comparable to one of the Three Dao cannot be easily annihilated?

Through the years, he has returned using the Cosmic Origin Principle, reborn anew.

Having returned using the Cosmic Origin Principle, he forgot many things.

Kui Feng was well aware of the brutal cosmic struggle of those times; don't be fooled, the top experts remaining were only the Three Dao of the One Origin.

As for the Ten Realm Lords, they were mere shadows.

In truth, those annihilated in the struggle were certainly more than a few.

Many vanished entirely upon annihilation, yet a few, like the formidable presence before them, managed to be reborn using the Cosmic Origin Principle even after annihilation.

Such a person is most terrifying.

These people returning indicate the cosmic landscape is about to change again.

Kui Feng took a deep breath; he knew he must quickly eliminate Mo Yuantian and first gain control over the First Universe before anything else.

Otherwise, he would just be a marginal player.

"Rest assured, senior, we will not forget your instructions. Once we find any clues, we will inform Mr. Shen here."

Kui Feng was the first to respond.

He initially wanted to say they'd inform Shen Jie Master here, but recalling what Ding Huan mentioned before about only recognizing the First Realm Lord, and considering the others as nonexistent, even as trash,

he temporarily changed his words to Mr. Shen.

Ding Huan ignored Kui Feng and instead closed his eyes, deep in thought, seemingly pondering over some matter.

Seeing this, Qu Ba quickly left a ring for Shen Dai: "Mr. Shen, this is for you as compensation. It was my fault breaking your Cave Mansion Restriction. Farewell."

After tossing the ring, before Shen Dai could even speak, he turned and left.

He did not wish to stay and be trapped by Ding Huan's Tao Domain any longer.

Just a moment ago, Ding Huan's actions nearly scared him out of his wits.

Kui Feng, Bu Shi, and Zuo Yang followed suit, each leaving a ring for Shen Dai before turning to leave.

Every extra second spent here was sheer torment.

Understanding the situation well, Shen Dai handed all these rings to Qu Yi.

Ding Huan exhaled in relief.

He could not actively tell these people to leave.

Should they refuse to go, and a fight ensue, his only option would be to flee with Qu Yi.

He wouldn't even attempt to make a move.

Among them, only he and Shang, along with Ku Baizhen, could hope to stand against the others.

Shang and Ku Baizhen, without a doubt, were not opponents for Kui Feng and Qu Ba. He might not even defeat Bu Shi, let alone handle both Bu Shi and Zuo Yang together.

This fight held no meaning for him and was unwinnable; why remain?

Now that these few were scared away, it was for the best.

Meanwhile, Ding Huan felt an increased urgency within himself.

Even Mo Yuantian was anxiously plotting his future, yet Ding Huan had not yet stepped into the Ninth Step. This was truly a dire situation.

Though Qu Ba and the others retreated, Ding Huan remained silent, and neither Shang nor Ku Baizhen dared to speak either.

As for Shen Dai, he was already dizzy and confused.

Ding Huan's ability to heavily injure Di Xin was beyond his wildest imagination.

Now, Ding Huan not only wounded Si Wu but also took one of Si Wu's Tao Eyes.

This was something seemingly impossible.

Yet, it unfolded right before his eyes.

After a long while, Ding Huan finally came to his senses. He turned his gaze to Shang and Shen Dai, saying, "Shang Daoist, Shen Dai Daoist, I shall take my leave. Until we meet again."

Unable to wait any longer, Ku Baizhen rushed forward and knelt: "I beg for your help, senior." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Ding Huan took out a Dao Scroll and handed it to Ku Baizhen: "I have matters to attend to temporarily, but once I'm free, I will message you. Activate the transmission coordinates in this Dao Scroll, and I will visit the Eightfold Expanse Canyon."

Upon hearing Shang mention the Eightfold Expanse Canyon, Ding Huan decided he wanted to see it for himself.

Though the Eightfold Expanse Canyon may be hostile, even worthless to ninety-nine percent of Cultivators,

for Ding Huan, it might be a place he must visit.

He cultivates the Law of All Things and the Cosmic Origin Principle.

Since he trains in the Law of All Things and Universal Source Principles, it naturally includes those seemingly wasteful Source Principles, like the Wanxing Source Principle.

Without these Source Principles, the Great Dao would not be complete.

Ding Huan would go but could not do so presently.

First, he needed to step into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao before heading there.

"Yes, senior, I will be waiting for you," Ku Baizhen said excitedly, gripping the Dao Scroll, words tumbling out.

He had nowhere else to go, or he wouldn't have pleaded with Shang here.

Now, with this lifeline thrown by Ding Huan, how could he let it slip through his fingers?

If even Si Wu was dominated by Ding Huan, what was Mo Yuantian compared to that?

Ding Huan, quite satisfied, left with Qu Yi.

He handed a Transmission Dao Scroll to Ku Baizhen, meaning that when he chose to visit the Eightfold Expanse Canyon, there was no need to fly there personally.

Initially, Shang had intended to ally with Ding Huan.

Now, as Ding Huan departed from Shen Dai's cave mansion, Shang, Shen Dai, and Ku Baizhen respectfully escorted him out.

All three instinctively lowered their status by a tier.

...

Together with Qu Yi, Ding Huan took only a few days to step out of the First Universe.

After staying in the First Universe for a long time, upon leaving, Ding Huan felt as though he were towering over small mountains.

Despite all being high-level universes, outside the First Universe, Ding Huan distinctly felt his mastery over all things and the Cosmic Origin Principle reaching an effortless realm.

This was due to his prolonged cultivation and absorption of the vast Primordial Qi in the First Universe.

No wonder those powerful figures were reluctant to leave the First Universe; once they did, their power could soar a significant tier.

Though he could not yet extend a Primordial Energy Hand Seal from the First Universe to other universes, once he stepped into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, he would surely achieve that.

The shock he felt towards Kui Feng's ability to extend a Great Dao Hand Seal from the First Universe was now nearly vanished.

Even someone as arrogant as Kui Feng was, not long ago, forced to humbly address him as senior and cautiously withdraw, wasn't he?

(Goodnight, Daoist!)
