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

Chapter 1246 - 1239: Jiqiong's Schemes

"Mr. Mo, Mr. Lan, Mr. Ye..."

An Ting saw Mo Wuji, Lan Xiaobu, and Ye Xuan approaching, and his voice trembled with excitement.

In order to befriend Mo Wuji, Lan Xiaobu, Ding Huan, and Ye Xuan, An Ting had been gathering information about them everywhere.

He hadn't expected today's turn of events, thinking he wouldn't survive, yet he encountered the three people he longed to befriend.

Indeed, as long as the path is right, there's always a glimmer of hope.

He believed that no matter how strong Jiqiong was, he couldn't crush these three people before him.

"It's you? An Ting?" Lan Xiaobu sized up An Ting, without much warmth in his tone.

"You're fighting this guy?" Mo Wuji noticed that An Ting's injuries were caused by the purple-bearded man. Although he was asking, he was indeed somewhat puzzled.

In his mind, An Ting and Jiqiong should be on the same side.

An Ting immediately responded, "Yes, yes. Jiqiong not only wants to sacrifice the Dao but also targets Ding Huan's partner, which I found intolerable, so I intervened.

But my strength is too far behind Jiqiong, hence I was heavily injured by him."

"Are you Brother Ding Huan's partner?" Lan Xiaobu looked surprised at Jia Baihe.

Jia Baihe stepped forward and saluted, "Jia Baihe greets Mr. Mo, Brother Lan, and Brother Ye."

She didn't know these three at all; if An Ting hadn't greeted them first, she wouldn't even know their names.

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu, however, didn't have time to respond to Jia Baihe's words and simultaneously unleashed their Domains.

Having cooperated countless times, coupled with their complementing Great Dao, the combined Source Principle Domains far surpassed the level of one plus one.

Ye Xuan likewise stretched out his Domain, and the sword aura from the vast star sword swept forth.

The Domains collided in the Void, and under the pressure of different Source Principles, the Void shattered layer by layer.

An invisible barrier suddenly shattered.

An Ting was shocked; he hadn't noticed Jiqiong secretly making a move earlier, intending to trap them here.

At the same time, he felt fortunate for his choice.

His Domain was powerless beneath Jiqiong's Domain.

Just now, the combined Domains of Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu directly broke through Jiqiong's Domain.

Ye Xuan's sword also completely shattered Jiqiong's abacus.

"That old thing is shameless indeed." Lan Xiaobu ridiculed, as the killing intent from the Longevity Halberd in his hand almost took a tangible form.

No Ji, Xiao Bu, look, the decay of heaven and earth has slowed down.

Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji naturally saw that after they attacked Jiqiong, the decay of heaven and earth was no longer as rapid as before but became slower.

This indicated one thing.

That Jiqiong's Sacrificial Dao would be impacted by external factors.

As long as they held Jiqiong, his Sacrificial Dao couldn't continue.

"Indeed, fame is well-founded; no wonder you were able to break the Eightfold Expanse Canyon and ruin my plans."

Jiqiong's tone remained calm, and after speaking, he glanced at Ye Xuan, "Where did your sword come from?"

Ye Xuan disdainfully replied, "The old man talks too much..."

After saying this, the sword aura on the vast star sword suddenly exploded, and a more turbulent Sword Intent wildly condensed.

Endless killing sword aura surged like waves, one after another, rolling towards Jiqiong.

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu naturally acted simultaneously.

Ka-ka!

Although the killing momentum hadn't locked the space where Jiqiong was yet.

The space had already completely collapsed at this moment.

"Perhaps we'll meet again, good luck to you..." Jiqiong said, and after this, his figure suddenly weakened.

An Ting sighed inwardly.

He knew that no matter how strong Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu were, they couldn't stop Jiqiong from hiding.

Because under the vastness, Jiqiong was the one who understood the Source Principles of vastness the most deeply.

If Jiqiong hadn't appeared earlier, no one would know he was here sacrificing the Dao.

Even if others knew he was sacrificing the Dao here, no one could locate him.

But the next moment, An Ting's eyes widened.

The almost completely vanished silhouette of Jiqiong suddenly became clear.

He could clearly see the shock and disbelief in Jiqiong's eyes.

Mo Wuji chuckled, "You think you can slip away under our eyes? You overestimate your Great Dao."

Lan Xiaobu laughed heartily, "Initial Source Principle of vastness is all we've seen; don't show your little tricks in front of us."

"This guy tried to ambush us earlier and didn't succeed; now he wants to sneak away, wonder who gave him such confidence." Ye Xuan followed up sarcastically.

"You..." In shock, Jiqiong raised his hand and pulled out a Big Tripod.

He hadn't expected anyone to stop his integration with the Source Principles of vastness and force him to reveal himself.

Since Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu could accomplish this, he had no choice but to confront them.

Though unafraid of the collaboration between Mo Wuji, Lan Xiaobu, and Ye Xuan, Jiqiong regretted appearing.

If he hadn't shown himself, no matter who it was, they could only watch helplessly as he sacrificed the Dao.

If his Sacrificial Dao turned futile, even he couldn't forgive himself.

He had prepared countless years for today.

How could he let minor matters cause issues?

After regretting appearing, Jiqiong began to regret allowing Ding Huan and his companions to disrupt the Eightfold Expanse Canyon.

Without the Source Principles formed before the vastness in the Eightfold Expanse Canyon, the opposition wouldn't have been able to prevent him from hiding.

Jiqiong shivered.

He felt something was wrong with his Dao.

In a short time, he experienced regret multiple times, the greatest taboo of the vast Great Dao.

Taking a deep breath, Jiqiong decided to use killing today to prove his vast Great Dao is the only one.

"Wu Ji, today there might be a fierce battle."

Lan Xiaobu sensed the terrifying aura emitted from Jiqiong's Big Tripod, knowing that victory is not certain today.

Mo Wuji stretched out his hand, a Golden Ring suspended between heaven and earth.

The world suddenly became clear, even Jia Baihe could seem to feel every subtle change in the space Jiqiong occupied.

"He's strong, we're not weak either. See, isn't he afraid to continue with the Sacrificial Dao?"

At this moment, the withering of heaven and earth had stopped.

Apparently, Jiqiong understood that faced with the combined efforts of Mo Wuji, Lan Xiaobu, and Ye Xuan, he simply lacked the energy to perform the Sacrificial Dao.

Jiqiong was just thankful Ding Huan wasn't here.

If Ding Huan was also here, with a few people teaming up, he'd likely find it really hard to crush them.

...

In the midst of the vast Dao ruins.

Ding Huan was intending to grab the vast pen.

Compared to the previous Space Dao Principle, Ding Huan valued the vast pen more.

As for those four Great Nets, Ding Huan actually didn't take them seriously.

If the nine Great Nets were complete, then there would still be significant value in this Great Net.

Now that it's impossible for the nine Nets to be complete, the four Great Nets in hand are just that in value.

The moment his Divine Will touched the vast pen, Ding Huan suddenly felt something was amiss.

Jiqiong said he had plenty of time, completely unconcerned with a few hundred years.

But within those few hundred years, Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu might come here.

Not only would Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu come, but his own strength would also continue to increase during these hundreds of years.

While Jiqiong's strength had already reached its peak, barring unexpected events, it was unlikely to increase over several hundred years.

Would Jiqiong sit idly by waiting for him to grow stronger here?

If Jiqiong were truly that honest and simple, he wouldn't be the first under the vastness.

And certainly wouldn't perform the vast Sacrificial Dao.

Since that's the case, why did Jiqiong want to use the Dao Soul to reach a cooperation with him? And one-sided at that.

Not good.

Ding Huan's figure flickered, about to dash out of the vast Dao ruins.

He might have fallen into Jiqiong's trap.

Jiqiong made him believe the Jiqiong here was the sacrificing one, so he confidently allowed the withering Jiqiong to wander outside.

And even took out a false Dao Soul to keep him steady.

All his thoughts might have fallen within Jiqiong's calculations, realizing he wouldn't leave this place.

Fortunately, waking up now is not too late.

Just as Ding Huan reached the entrance of the vast Dao ruins, a sudden figure appeared once again.

"Mr. Ding Huan..."

"Void, you sure have guts, still dare to hide here." Ding Huan sneered, the Breaking Tribulation Blade appearing in his hand.

Void urgently said, "Mr. Ding, killing me means nothing. I'm just here to tell you one thing, if my guess is correct, Jiqiong has already left, he's definitely within the Sacrificial Dao."

"You came just to say this?" Ding Huan coldly stared at Void, the guy before him was definitely no good.

This guy, being suppressed by Jiqiong as the vast Primordial Spirit, had no chance to sacrifice the vastness.

If he could perform the Sacrificial Dao, this guy would undoubtedly behave like Jiqiong, not hesitating even for half a breath.

Void spoke with extreme sincerity, "Mr. Ding, we're not enemies now, we should even be allies. If you still take me as an opponent, then Jiqiong might really succeed in the Sacrificial Dao.

Once Jiqiong succeeds in the Sacrificial Dao, you and I will have no place left even to die."

Ding Huan just extended his Domain, showing no interest in Void's words.

He would collaborate with anyone but the trashy vast Primordial Spirit.

Seeing Ding Huan unmoved, merely building the Source Principle realm.

Void did not escape again, still speaking sincerely, "Mr. Ding, do you know the terrifying aspect of the Sacrificial Dao? It multiples the withering of heaven and earth.

If in the first breath of time, Jiqiong sacrifices a one-zhang square space, then in the second breath he sacrifices a two-zhang square space, and in the third breath, not three-zhang, but four-zhang, and the fourth breath is eight-zhang...

Once the Sacrificial Dao begins, no matter how large the First Universe, it will wither away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, once the Sacrificial Dao starts, unless you can find Jiqiong's true form, no one, including the vast Heaven and Earth Rules, can stop Jiqiong from performing the Sacrificial Dao."

Hearing this, Ding Huan's heart sank to the bottom.

He realized Void was telling the truth.

If Jiqiong really started the Sacrificial Dao, he certainly couldn't identify where Jiqiong's true form was now.

Unable to find Jiqiong's true form, he cannot prevent the entire vastness from being sacrificed by Jiqiong.

So careless, he should have never let Jiqiong leave, no matter the cost, he should have kept Jiqiong.

No wonder Jiqiong did everything to stop him from reaching the understanding of the ninth step of vastness.

If he really stepped out the ninth step of vastness, maybe he could even identify Jiqiong's true form.

In anxious haste, Ding Huan directly tore open the realm sealing Jiqiong's Dao Soul.

(Good night, Fellow Daoist!)
