Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1172 - 1165: The Shameless One

At the moment Ding Huan constructed the Void Dao Network, Qing Qi felt something was amiss.

Even though Ding Huan's sneak attack had greatly harmed him before, his Tao Domain was still firmly controlling the space around him.

As long as his Tao Domain was intact, no one could kill him.

Now, with the help of the Void Dao Network that Ding Huan had constructed, Qing Qi felt as if he was under the other's Tao Universe.

Being under someone else's Tao Universe meant that the Source Principle of this space completely belonged to the other.

Therefore, every move he made was naturally under the other's control.

This was not right.

Not to mention Ding Huan, even if it were Yi Yuan San Dao, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to achieve this, right?

Could Yi Yuan San Dao control the Source Principle of an entire universe?

Qing Qi had not yet figured out what was going on when Ding Huan's sword swept over.

At this moment, life and death within the universe were entirely under the control of Ding Huan's sword.

In the depths of Qing Qi's heart, endless regret surged forth; he should have fled the moment he sensed something was wrong.

Regardless of whether he could escape the Source Principle space controlled by Ding Huan, it was at least an option.

Yet at that very moment of doubt, Ding Huan's Sword Force Divine Skills had already formed.

Death locked all vitality beneath the universe; this sword of Ding Huan's posed several times greater threat than the previous one.

Qing Qi had no time to ponder why, but could only madly burn Daoist Rhythm and unleashed the Nine Hao Bell.

Unfortunately, he was under Ding Huan's Source Principle space at the moment. No matter how Ding Huan achieved it, whether real or fake, his Nine Hao Bell was destined not to exert its full power.

Dong dong dong!

A series of bell chimes exploded.

Qing Qi clearly felt the space constraints around him weakening, Ding Huan's Tao Universe seemed on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, Qing Qi felt not relief, but regret.

It was an ultimate form of regret.

Just now, he felt that the universe space he was in had completely become Ding Huan's Tao Universe, even the space Source Principle belonged to Ding Huan.

Only now did he understand that it was indeed false.

Ding Huan had used some method to give him this illusion.

Although such a method from the opponent allows one to escape the suppression of Divine Skills and Tao Domain, it really does not mean they can truly control the universe space.

It was merely a simulation, even if there was a space Source Principle from the opponent, it was extremely weak. As long as he dared to act, he could break free.

Now everything was too late.

After the series of bell chimes exploded, Ding Huan's Sword Force weakened to an extreme, but still easily tore through his Protective Domain.

Splitting his physical body in two.

Qing Qi frantically burned his Essence Blood and Daoist Rhythm, he knew he had to leave.

"No matter who you are, I will return."

Qing Qi, whose body was torn by Ding Huan, instantly restored himself, then transformed into a trail of blood and vanished.

At the moment he broke free from the space controlled by Ding Huan, Qing Qi's regret reached a new level.

He really wasn't wrong; the scene where Ding Huan controlled the universe space he was in was false.

If he had burned Daoist Rhythm and Essence Blood initially, he would have fled long ago. Why wait to escape after being heavily injured again?

"I guess you can't escape."

Just as Ding Huan's voice sounded, Qing Qi felt the space he was in suddenly contract.

Qing Qi felt a chill at heart, could it be real?

Could Ding Huan really control the space of this universe?

Following that, a boundless net locked Qing Qi, despair and unwillingness appeared in his eyes.

This net, he would recognize it even if it were burned to ashes, the Great Principle Net.

Last time he was constrained by the Great Principle Net, then captured by Di Xin, imprisoned at the center of Chaos.

It felt like a cycle of reincarnation; his strength was several times greater than when he was captured by Di Xin, why was he once again trapped by the Great Principle Net?

"Di Xin?"

The fury and unwillingness deep within Qing Qi seemed ready to ignite; if someone else captured him, so be it, but to be once again caught by Di Xin, this suffocation was almost choking him.

Ding Huan appeared before Qing Qi.

From Ding Huan's sneak attack on Qing Qi to their Divine Skills confrontation, up until this moment, Qing Qi truly saw Ding Huan clearly.

It wasn't Di Xin.

Neither in age nor Taoist Aura was he Di Xin.

He seemed quite young.

If Qing Qi wasn't so familiar with Di Xin's Taoist Aura, he might have suspected Ding Huan was possessed by Di Xin.

Possession should be impossible.

Who is Di Xin? He is accompanied by the vast Taoist Spirit, his physical body possessing the vast Origin Spirit.

Such a person's physical body is incredibly precious, impossible to possess another.

"Friend, you and I have no grievances or hatred, why do you make a move against me?" Qing Qi suppressed his inner anger and hatred, trying to make his tone calm.

Ding Huan coldly stared at Qing Qi, raised his hand and took away Qing Qi's Nine Hao Bell.

Seeing his Nine Hao Bell taken away by Ding Huan, Qing Qi wished he could immediately devour Ding Huan.

But now he still couldn't act; he continued to feel regret.

If he were a bit more careful, he absolutely wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.

He had clearly reviewed the confrontation just now; the opponent didn't have an overwhelming advantage over him.

He thought no strong individuals would come here, which is why he was ambushed successfully by the opponent.

In the end, due to underestimating the opponent's methods, he was utterly defeated.

"You deprived the World of Gods of its domain's destiny, extracted its Dao Network, killed my friends, and destroyed my home. And you claim there's no grievance or vendetta?"

Ding Huan's tone carried disdain.

Qing Qi felt a chill in his heart.

If Ding Huan was from the World of Gods, then their enmity was not nonexistent, but rather immeasurable.

"Fellow Daoist, this matter is my fault, Qing Qi's fault. I didn't know this was your homeland, which is why I made a mistake. I'm willing to offer compensation..."

Here, Qing Qi paused before continuing: "I'm willing to offer three thousand Cosmic Origin Veins and apologize..."

Ding Huan was amused by Qing Qi's shamelessness.

He stripped a World's destiny, extracted its Dao Network, and could still conclude that offering three thousand Cosmic Origin Veins would settle the matter.

Indeed, the vastness of the universe holds all kinds of shameless creatures.

With Qing Qi being so shameless, Ding Huan's anger dissipated: "There's no need for compensation, I just want to ask you a few questions."

Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, Qing Qi was overjoyed.

After all, what had happened was irreversible; even killing him couldn't change what occurred. The best solution was to make more friends for more opportunities.

With the impending vast struggle, he would soon step into the ninth step of the Great Dao, and such power would bolster any side he joined.

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist, as long as you're willing to forgive my transgression this time, I swear to never oppose you in this life. Furthermore, during the upcoming vast struggle, I will stand by your side."

Qing Qi said loudly, attempting to assure Ding Huan that sparing his life would only bring him benefits.

As for whether Ding Huan would join him or he would join Ding Huan afterward, that was another matter.

As long as he and Ding Huan were on the same side, it wouldn't be considered breaking any oath to the Great Dao.

Ding Huan waved his hand: "I remember you were imprisoned by Di Xin, who saved you?"

Qing Qi froze; how did the other party know about this?

Ding Huan said calmly: "I obtained an Iron Ball, which had your distress message."

Only then did Qing Qi realize, responding with excitement: "So it turns out I misunderstood you; you came to save me."

Ding Huan sneered internally, this guy truly thought highly of himself.

Indeed, those without shame are invincible.

"Di Xin left this cosmic world for some reason. Without Di Xin's oversight, I unintentionally comprehended the method of peeling Source Principle, hence I escaped..."

Ding Huan responded casually, then suddenly asked: "What about Zuo Shanyi?"

Qing Qi's heart jolted, yet he maintained a stupefied demeanor asking, "Zuo Shanyi? Who is Zuo Shanyi?"

Seeing Qing Qi's character was so low, Ding Huan was unwilling to waste more time.

Since this person wouldn't speak the truth, it was time for Soul Search.

Ding Huan raised his hand, casting 108 Dao Soul Nails.

These nails pinned Qing Qi in the void.

"You..." Qing Qi wanted to question Ding Huan's intentions, but after uttering one word, he could say no more.

When he saw Ding Huan begin to peel away his Tao Universe, fear filled his eyes.

Weren't they conversing well just moments ago?

Why suddenly start peeling away his Tao Domain?

Besides, did it really require 108 Dao Soul Nails to pin him?

In Qing Qi's eyes, there was a plea. He hoped Ding Huan would spare him; he promised that if Ding Huan allowed him to speak, he wouldn't hide a single word.

However, Ding Huan paid no attention to his pleading, and kept stripping away his Tao Domain's Source Principle.

Initially, Qing Qi thought Ding Huan couldn't possibly peel his Tao Domain, but with each layer torn by Ding Huan, despair set in.

Not only could Ding Huan peel his Tao Domain?

This was done without any detour.

"Crack!"

At the moment Ding Huan opened Qing Qi's Tao Universe, endless Taoist Aura poured from Qing Qi's body.

The Taoist Aura channeled through the 108 Dao Soul Nails, forming cycles of destiny, repaying the World of Gods.

In this moment, Qing Qi finally understood.

Why Ding Huan placed 108 Dao Soul Nails on him, intending from the start to return the Taoist Aura he stripped away back to the World of Gods.

Not even the Five Ancestors might accomplish such a feat; Ding Huan could, it was truly terrifying.

Anyone else would just kill him at most.

After his death, only a tiny fraction of the stripped Taoist Aura would return to the World of Gods, the majority dispersing into the cosmos.

Ding Huan's method formed a cyclical connection with the World of Gods, giving back as much as he took.

No...

Beyond what he consumed, even Qing Qi's innate Taoist Aura would return to the World of Gods.

"You, this leech, do possess some abilities..."

As Qing Qi's inherent Taoist Aura was being reclaimed by the World of Gods, Ding Huan was struck by Qing Qi's wealth.

Although there wasn't a top-tier Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain in Qing Qi's Tao Universe, it contained a mountain of Cosmic Origin Veins.

Previously, Qing Qi was willing to offer only three thousand Cosmic Origin Veins for his life.

Yet within his Tao Domain, there were at least a hundred thousand Cosmic Origin Veins.

His Chaos Treasures weren't just one, including the Heavenly Nirvana Vortex gifted to He Yan, as well as Lou Poyi's Divine Hall, etc.

(Good night, Fellow Daoist!)
