Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

Chapter 1010 - 1003: The Ugly Statue

Ding Huan's Divine Will was powerful. It took less than one incense stick's time for him to capture the images of Nian Huan and Qi Manwei.

Even though Ding Huan had never met Nian Huan, he knew at first sight that she was undoubtedly his daughter.

Nian Huan's appearance resembled his, but her eyes were obviously more like Qu Yi's.

Qu Yi was gentle and kind, so with eyes like hers, Nian Huan was unlikely to be an arrogant person.

Moreover, Nian Huan's cultivation seemed to be in the Quasi-Saint realm, with no reason or qualifications to be arrogant.

It was also Ding Huan's first time seeing Qi Manwei.

The moment he laid eyes on Qi Manwei, he knew her strength was absolutely not low.

Otherwise, with Qi Manwei's unparalleled beauty, she wouldn't have been able to reach the outskirts of the World of Gods safely from the Blue Star Divine Land.

As Nian Huan and Qi Manwei just stepped into the Void Square of Ancient God Island, they noticed the statues in the square.

Ding Huan had seen the statues upon entering the square, but hadn't paid attention to them.

Nian Huan pointed at one of the statues and said, "Aunt Wei, have you noticed? This statue's proportions are hilarious?"

Ding Huan instinctively swept his Divine Will outward and immediately agreed with Nian Huan's words.

The statue's proportions were indeed a bit off.

The upper body was too long, and the lower body too short.

Under normal circumstances, a longer lower body might have been acceptable.

But with too long an upper body and too short a lower body, it looked like an upright short-legged kangaroo.

Moreover, the statue's head was large, and its ears were small.

No matter which angle you looked from, Nian Huan's words were correct.

The statue's proportions were truly ridiculous.

Qi Manwei, clearly more experienced than Nian Huan, immediately patted Nian Huan's hand: "Nian Huan, don't speak recklessly. Let's check the conditions to enter and then leave."

Nian Huan quickly shrank her neck back and swallowed the rest of her words.

But the problem arose right there.

Someone had already heard what Nian Huan said and stopped Nian Huan and Qi Manwei.

The one blocking Nian Huan and Qi Manwei was a rather sleazy-looking man at the Sixth Step of the Great Dao.

Clearly, this Sixth Step was an ordinary one, not having affirmed the Dao.

"Was it you who insulted the Taoist Ancestor just now?" the sleazy man shouted sternly.

Nian Huan was obviously frightened and quickly waved her hands: "Brother, you misheard. No, I really didn't insult the Taoist Ancestor."

Qi Manwei immediately stepped forward and said: "Yes, Fellow Daoist, you must have misunderstood."

"Haha..."

The sleazy, weak-looking man laughed loudly, then pointed at Nian Huan and scolded sternly: "You, a mere Quasi-Saint, dare to address me as an equal, not even calling me by a respectful title upon meeting me.

No wonder you insulted our Eternal God Ancestor, such an uneducated person, come with me..."

Qi Manwei could not let anyone take Nian Huan away, so she stepped forward to block: "Fellow Daoist, I'm Qi Manwei, and this is my niece, Nian Huan.

She might have spoken carelessly, please forgive her, we're willing to offer compensation."

The sleazy man's gaze swept over Qi Manwei, then nodded and said: "For your sake, we're not too concerned. Come with me inside to negotiate the compensation."

Qi Manwei's face darkened.

They still had a chance to leave here, but once inside, trapped by the Big Array, where would they go?

"Sorry, we're leaving now," Qi Manwei said, taking Nian Huan with her to leave.

But at this moment, several figures had already rushed over, surrounding Qi Manwei and Nian Huan.

Qi Manwei knew it was hard to resolve the situation peacefully, so she raised her voice to the crowd: "This person says my niece disrespected him by not calling him a senior, and wants to take us away.

But my cultivation is higher than his, he didn't call me senior either. Is this the kind of logic professed on Ancient God Island?"

"Oh, what kind of logic do you want?" said a cold voice.

The speaker was a fat man, who stared at Qi Manwei with a sinister smile: "So, should I call you senior too?"

This fat man was a True Saint, an existence that had affirmed the Dao.

Though Qi Manwei was at the Seventh Step, her strength probably wasn't a match for this man.

Indeed, after the man finished speaking, he raised his hand directly toward Qi Manwei's chest, his sleazy expression even more disgusting than the previous weak-looking man.

Qi Manwei was clearly experienced, knowing it was not the time for confrontation, she immediately unleashed her Magical Treasure, attacking with all her might.

Ding Huan saw Mu Yin, who was also among the crowd.

Apparently, Mu Yin chose not to help Qi Manwei and turned to leave the square instead.

Ding Huan took a deep breath, knowing Mu Yin's choice was what most cultivators would do, yet his heart was still blocked with vexation.

At this moment, Ding Huan made a decision.

In the future, when he encounters such situations, he will definitely step in.

Because there is a possibility that somewhere else, his people might also need others to step in.

Though Qi Manwei was at the Seventh Step, clearly not a match for that fat man.

Fortunately, Qi Manwei had foreseen this point, she didn't strive for merit but avoided fault.

She continued using defensive tactics while fighting the fat man at the square, all the while gradually moving toward the edge of the square.

"Are you trying to escape? Too bad, you won't be able to," the fat man seemed to want Qi Manwei to escape from the square.

Ding Huan secretly felt that this was not good. Although the recording did not show any barriers on the plaza, he still believed that if Qi Manwei continued with her previous route, she would likely be unable to escape.

As Qi Manwei approached the edge of the Void Plaza, she truly grabbed Nian Huan and rushed out.

Almost at the same time, Ding Huan saw the protective array at the edge of the plaza being activated.

To everyone's surprise, Qi Manwei, with Nian Huan in tow, did not flee towards the outside of the plaza, but towards its interior.

Thus, that fat man attempted to intercept her using the protective array but found himself unsuccessful.

After breaking through the fat man's domain, Qi Manwei immediately deployed a talisman.

Ding Huan saw clearly that it was a boundary-breaking talisman.

However, a giant hand reached out, and while Qi Manwei activated the talisman, she couldn't escape; instead, she tore open a rift in the middle of the Void Plaza and both she and Nian Huan slipped into the void rift.

The recording ended there.

Ding Huan's expression was grim; he knew that the void rift wasn't some breach of the boundary.

It was something inherent to the Void Plaza itself.

Based on his understanding of the Heaven and Earth Rules and the spatial layers, this void rift was likely a crevice connected to Ancient God Island.

Ancient God Island and the Longevity Palace must have long known about this void crevice's existence.

Qi Manwei did sufficiently well; however, her limited cultivation couldn't allow her to escape the Void Plaza.

Ding Huan put away the Crystal Ball and returned once more to the Void Plaza.

He looked up at the ridiculously proportioned statue.

Heh, an Eternal Saint, huh?

"Taoist friend, I am the Island Master of Ancient God Island. A Taoist friend has made a grand purchase of the ten-thousand-year image records of the Void Plaza. May I ask how you should be addressed?"

A sudden voice rang out.

Ding Huan saw a man dressed in a black robe approaching, apparently a True Saint, with very distinct Dao Rhythm, indicating the possibility for him to step into the Seventh Step as Master of the Universe.

"Ding Huan," Ding Huan answered simply, dismissively.

"Mr. Ding, this is not a place to talk. How about we go to the Island Master Mansion of Ancient God Island for a discussion?" Ye Wuleng was very polite, not caring for Ding Huan's indifference.

Ding Huan's gaze fell on the black-robed man, and he said coolly, "You want to take me to Ancient God Island, open my world, and take all my belongings?"

Ye Wuleng was taken aback; his intention was to investigate Ding Huan's background. If Ding Huan were simply wealthy without a notable background, he might indeed have considered such actions.

"Mr. Ding, you misunderstand..."

Not waiting for Ye Wuleng to finish speaking, Ding Huan interrupted, raising his hand: "I've come to inquire where you captured these two people back then."

After speaking, Ding Huan presented the image of Nian Huan and Qi Manwei.

Seeing Nian Huan and Qi Manwei, Ye Wuleng's expression turned cold: "So you're here to make trouble..."

But before he could finish his sentence, he felt as if he were frozen completely, unable to move at all.

"You..." Ye Wuleng's eyes showed fear.

Even the Seventh Step couldn't bind him with the domain; normally, he could at least struggle, but now he seemed powerless to even try.

What level of formidable expert was this?

He felt the call of death.

Ding Huan ignored him completely, and as he spread his hand, the Breaking Tribulation Blade appeared in his grip.

Yet he didn't strike, but instead reached into the void with his hand.

In the next moment, a sleazy and frail man was dragged from Ancient God Island.

"Senior..."

This sleazy man was the culprit responsible for blocking Nian Huan. Being snatched by a Great Dao Hand Imprint, his spirit scattered in fear.

Upon seeing Ding Huan, he addressed him as senior.

Ding Huan pointed to the image of Nian Huan: "Back then, you said she didn't address you as senior, so you had others attack her?"

The sleazy man then noticed City Lord Ye Wuleng also seemed confined here, feeling a chilling despair.

At this moment, Ye Wuleng finally understood the gravity of the situation, angrily cursing: "Jiushi, you piece of trash..."

Ding Huan, without hesitation, kicked Ye Wuleng away; before he could fall, Ding Huan shot five Dao Blades, pinning Ye Wuleng in the void.

Ye Wuleng found his hands, feet, and even his forehead pinned down.

Jiushi was utterly hopeless.

If he had known that Nian Huan and Qi Manwei had such powerful backing, he certainly wouldn't have dared to trouble them.

"Send a message immediately and have that fat pig come here," Ding Huan ordered Jiushi coldly, his tone devoid of warmth.

Jiushi knew he was doomed, yet he dared not refuse.

He only hoped he might still have a chance at reincarnation.

Seeing Jiushi send the message, Ding Huan also kicked Jiushi away, pinning him next to Ye Wuleng in the void.

After that, Ding Huan suddenly wielded the Breaking Tribulation Blade.

"Boom!" A magnificent blade gorge slashed down onto the Void Plaza, splitting it in half under Ding Huan's strike.

Even the Eternal Saint statue on the plaza crumbled to dust under that stroke.

"Such an ugly kangaroo dares to have a statue," Ding Huan scoffed at the shattered rubble with contempt.

Cultivators rushed out of the plaza frantically; in a short time, the once bustling Void Plaza fell silent again.

(Good night, Taoist friend)
