Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1195 - 1188: My Friend Is Ding Huan
The Eternal God Saint's River of Time caused time in this space to rapidly vanish, and all life forms within the River of Time withered and decayed quickly...
Ding Huan slashed out with his blade, and the Breaking Tribulation Blade Radiance exploded in the River of Time, resembling a white silk ribbon descending amid endless fields of rice.
The rice stalks in the fields were split in two by the white ribbon, then crazily toppled to both sides, rapidly extending outward. Wherever it went, the Time Origin Principle quickly dispersed and then changed.
The originally fast-vanishing time quickly came to a halt, and time began to reverse.
The Eternal God Saint stood in a daze, watching the infinite Time Origin Principle in his River of Time shatter, only for a brand new Time Origin Principle to emerge.
His River of Time darkened, and a new River of Time appeared.
But he knew very well that this new River of Time, emerging after tearing apart his own, was not his and had nothing to do with him.
Immediately, endless years began to reverse. Within a few breaths, the Eternal God Saint felt his vitality being devoured, and then his life's longevity crazily depleted...
The body of the Eternal God Saint trembled, a shapeless fear within his heart becoming substantial.
He couldn't struggle free from Ding Huan's River of Time.
Endless years vanished in a snap, several lifetimes of the Great Dao ended today.
"Time reversal!"
The Eternal God Saint cried out in shock.
Having comprehended the Time Origin Principle, he had long considered the Time River Divine Power his ultimate trump card.
Because Ding Huan was too powerful, he wanted to completely eliminate Ding Huan the moment he made a move.
To completely eliminate Ding Huan, naturally, he needed to use his greatest Divine Skill, the River of Time, right off the bat.
The Eternal God Saint had immersed himself in the Time Origin Principle for millions of years without stopping, and his understanding of the Time Origin Principle was naturally profound.
Ding Huan's slash was also of the Time Origin Principle, yet Ding Huan tore apart his Time Origin Principle and then reversed time, evolving a brand new River of Time.
Clearly, Ding Huan's understanding of the Time Source Principle and Time Origin Principle far surpassed his own.
The skin of the Eternal God Saint began to wither, his hair turned gray and his vitality quickly faded...
Inwardly the Eternal God Saint was immensely frightened, knowing that if he couldn't quickly retreat from Ding Huan's River of Time, he might never have a future again.
Madly retreating, the Eternal God Saint knew that even though hope was slim, he could not continue to stay in Ding Huan's River of Time, letting time erode everything about him.
Soon he realized all his efforts were in vain, and he truly couldn't escape Ding Huan's River of Time.
At this moment he resembled a nearly buried old man, struggling immensely with every step backward.
And the effort required kept increasing.
"Mr. Ding, please show mercy..." The Eternal God Saint pleaded with a hoarse and trembling voice.
He didn't want to die, truly didn't want to die.
Falling within Ding Huan's River of Time, he wouldn't even have a chance for reincarnation.
Ding Huan said calmly, "When you unleashed the River of Time earlier, I didn't see you showing any mercy."
Earlier when the Eternal God Saint's River of Time descended, at least tens of thousands perished within it, and as for all kinds of Spirit Plants, not even a half stem was left.
"Mr. Ding, I am willing to open my Great Dao World, Mr. Ding can not only take my..."
The Eternal God Saint couldn't finish his sentence, as the reversing time frantically harvested his lifespan; he spewed black blood and saw his own doom.
Taking a step forward, Ding Huan lifted his hand to make a grasping motion in the Void.
The Eternal God Saint's Great Dao World cracked under Ding Huan's grasp, and everything within was swept away with ease.
The Eternal God Saint couldn't even continue to beg for mercy.
What he intended was to offer his Great Dao World and his Divine Soul to plead for life.
Yet Ding Huan's power was beyond his imagination; with a simple reach, he tore open his Great Dao World, akin to the legendary vast Taoist Ancestor...
In his Great Dao career, he had never witnessed an existence stronger than Ding Huan.
Ding Huan had long studied the Eternal God Dao Scripture, with an understanding of the vast Source Principle far surpassing the Eternal God Saint.
If it were about tearing open someone else's Great Dao World, perhaps he would have needed some more time, but with the Eternal God Saint's Great Dao World, he could indeed do it with a mere gesture.
"Ding Huan, I, Shen Huang, am also a creator of Great Dao, yet you... show no mercy at all..."
The vitality in the Eternal God Saint's eyes grew weaker, but his inner reluctance intensified.
Back in the day, as the Eternal God Saint, he was a presence atop the universe, so how could he die like this?
Looking at the Eternal God Saint mockingly, Ding Huan said, "Your life is life, but others' lives are insignificant? As for being a creator of Great Dao, stop flattering yourself.
You call that Daoist Practice a creator of Great Dao? To tell you the truth, if I hadn't refined the Eternal God Wheel first, you'd have been reduced to nothing but bones."
When he had reversed the Eternal God Wheel back then, he had discovered the bloodline Source Principle within it.
The Eternal God Saint hadn't understood what Ding Huan meant when the infinite Time Origin Principle completely submerged him.
With a wave of his hand, Ding Huan left nothing behind of the Eternal God Saint, except for the counterfeit 'Eternal God Wheel' hovering in the Void, making it seem as though the Eternal God Saint had never appeared.
What a formidable power.
Even Ding Huan himself was astonished by the reversal of the Time Origin Principle.
Just then, inspired by the Time River Divine Power of the Eternal God Saint, he casually slashed out a time reversal.
Unexpectedly, it was surprisingly easy to take down the Eternal God Saint, which indeed caught Ding Huan off guard.
The Eternal God Saint, having comprehended the Time Origin Principle and the Time River Divine Power, probably never thought he would one day fall within his own River of Time.
Ding Huan raised his hand to put away the Breaking Tribulation Blade.
The infinite oppressive force of time dissipated completely.
A few powerful individuals who previously conspired with the Eternal God Saint to besiege Ding Huan looked at him in fear and unease.
They were all very aware of the strength of the Eternal God Saint.
In Ding Huan's hands, the Eternal God Saint was extinguished like a chick; if Ding Huan wanted to kill them, it would probably only take a flicker of the River of Time.
Previously, Ding Huan mentioned that he could effortlessly destroy an entire race, clearly depicting him as a bloodthirsty person.
Ding Huan glanced at these fellows but ignored them, instead beckoning to Mo Changcan: "Changcan, let's go."
"Thank you, senior, for sparing us." A short-statured man realized that Ding Huan had no intention of killing them and quickly bowed in thanks.
Ding Huan paid no attention, as these people had never made a move, whether due to fear or other reasons.
Since they didn't attack him, he had no intention of killing them.
"Senior, may I ask if it's possible to enter the vast Cosmic Ring? Is it really a higher-level Universe?"
The man who expressed gratitude felt that Ding Huan might not be as bloodthirsty as imagined, so he gained some courage.
Ding Huan calmly said, "Entering it means certain death, with not even a sliver of a chance to survive."
After saying this, Ding Huan summoned the Cosmic Pot and swiftly departed with Mo Changcan.
"Mr. Ding, is it true that entering the vast Cosmic Ring means certain death?" Mo Changcan couldn't help but ask while on the Cosmic Pot.
"Indeed, entering it is certain death; the entire place is filled with dislocated Source Principles. Even with Eternal God Saint's understanding of the Principles, facing the endless dislocated Source Principles, the chances of survival are slim."
Hearing Ding Huan's words, Mo Changcan remarked, "It was because of the vast Cosmic Ring that I decided to come to the Third Universe. I didn't expect the Cosmic Ring to be such a trap."
"Is this the Third Universe?" Ding Huan looked at Mo Changcan in surprise.
Mo Changcan nodded, "Yes, it's the Third Universe. I heard the First Universe is the most formidable, but no one has been there; it's just a rumor."
"Is it possible that I came from the First Universe?"
"Is the vast Cosmic Ring really the passage to the First Universe?" Mo Changcan asked excitedly upon hearing that Ding Huan came from the First Universe.
After asking, he couldn't help but inquire again, "Is entering it truly certain death?"
Ding Huan looked at Mo Changcan speechlessly, "What are you thinking? Entering through the vast Cosmic Ring absolutely will not lead to the First Universe.
No rush to go to the First Universe; I'll take you there. First, tell me, how did you get to this place?"
Suppressing his excitement, Mo Changcan said, "I was being hunted down and then escaped into a Cosmic Vortex, entering this plane.
But when I entered this plane, it took seventy hundred years to find a habitable planet.
It wasn't until I wandered in the void for seventy hundred years that I reached a Void City."
"There's a Void City?" Ding Huan looked at Mo Changcan in confusion.
Mo Changcan nodded, "Yes, that Void City is actually a small Void Star Land, but the Heaven and Earth Rules there are still very complete.
Not only that, but the Primordial Energy within is also extremely rich. The entire Void Star Land has just one city, named 'A Void City', and when I entered, I found that nearly ten million cultivators were living there."
"Did you learn about the Third Universe from there?"
Mo Changcan shook his head, "No, outside of 'A Void City' there's a punishment wall, nailed with various cultivators.
I saw one of them nailed down yet ranting, saying 'Wait until my friend Ding Huan arrives, I'll have him crush you all into pieces, or else my Min Yuan won't rest easy.'"
"Min Yuan?" Ding Huan exclaimed in surprise.
Min Yuan had pledged allegiance to him before, once claiming the title of Great Saint.
Back then, he, Min Yuan, and Xing Ga used the Eternal Life Talisman to teleport, but they became separated.
He walked the path of cultivation to reach his current level.
But after that, he never heard from Xing Ga or Min Yuan again.
Unexpectedly, he heard about Min Yuan from Mo Changcan today.
However, Ding Huan quickly realized.
Min Yuan is not simple; being nailed outside the city, how could he still be shouting for Ding Huan to come and kill them all?
This guy knows his nature, so he purposely shouted like this.
As long as someone who knows him hears it, perhaps these words will reach him.
With his personality, upon learning Min Yuan was in trouble, he would likely go to rescue him.
Sure enough, he heard about Min Yuan from Mo Changcan.
The cunning ones are indeed wiser with age.
"Changcan, take me to 'A Void City.'" Ding Huan understood Min Yuan's intent and decided to rescue Min Yuan anyway.
Though Min Yuan is cunning, he had once pledged allegiance to him.
(Goodnight, fellow Taoist!)
