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

Chapter 900 - 893: Afraid

Cang Jizhi was the first to arrive at Feng Gu's cave mansion.

She saw Feng Gu's Great Dao withered and declining, and was suddenly shocked: "Clan Leader, what's wrong with you?"

Not only was Feng Gu's Great Dao declining, but there was also a God-piercing Needle in the center of his brow.

Such a God-piercing Needle, apart from Feng Gu himself, no one else could pierce into Feng Gu's brow.

Feng Gu's face grew ever more haggard; he did not answer Cang Jizhi, but instead grabbed dozens of Array Flags and tossed them out.

Immediately, a series of roaring sounds echoed through the Tian Meng Clan space, and then a grayish pearl locked down this area of space.

"Clan Leader, you've activated the Heavenly Meng Pearl?" Cang Jizhi looked at Clan Leader Feng Gu in panic.

The reason the Tian Meng Clan has survived is due to the post-Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Heavenly Meng Pearl.

After saving the Tian Meng Clan, the Heavenly Meng Pearl was treated as the Array Core, protecting the entire Tian Meng Clan.

Now that Clan Leader Feng Gu has actually taken out the Heavenly Meng Pearl to lock this space, it means the Tian Meng Clan's Big Array no longer has an Array Core.

At this moment, both Han Yi Daoist Venerable and Ao Chui Daoist Venerable, powerhouses of the Tian Meng Clan in the seventh step of the Great Dao, also arrived here. They too saw the Heavenly Meng Pearl being grabbed by the Clan Leader.

"Clan Leader..." Han Yi and Ao Chui stepped into the Clan Leader's cave mansion, almost speaking simultaneously, wanting to ask why.

Seeing the Heavenly Meng Pearl locking this space, Feng Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said tremulously: "Our Tian Meng Clan has reached the time of life and death."

Cang Jizhi's face turned pale all at once.

She had always felt something was amiss.

But since Clan Leader Feng Gu said it was fine, she could only desperately use Tao Fruit to suppress the Chaos of her Great Dao.

Now, upon arriving at the Clan Leader's secluded cave mansion, and hearing the Clan Leader's words, the unease deep inside her became increasingly clear.

Moreover, here at the Clan Leader's, her thoughts seemed much clearer.

Many previously vague things seemed to have taken shape at this moment.

She suddenly understood why the Clan Leader wanted to use the Heavenly Meng Pearl to cover this space, was it because someone has laid down some kind of terrifying Dao Principle in the Tian Meng Clan?

"Clan Leader, what happened?" Han Yi Daoist Venerable also grew anxious.

Years ago, after his suppressed Chaos-afflicted Great Dao began to Chaos again, he continued to suppress it, without thinking much.

"Why hasn't Elder Ti Yu come?"

Feng Gu's words brought everyone's memories back; they hadn't heard from Supreme Elder Ti Yu for a long time.

Initially, in the Tian Meng Clan, Elder Ti Yu's Great Dao was the least affected by Chaos, making it the easiest to suppress.

Now, why hasn't there been any news from Elder Ti Yu?

Cang Jizhi remembered more and more things, she said tremulously: "Clan Leader, if I'm not mistaken, Elder Ti Yu should have been in trouble years ago."

"That's impossible, even if Elder Ti Yu's Great Dao became chaotic, he's a powerhouse in the eighth step, and over the years, Elder Ti Yu's Chaos-afflicted Great Dao should have mostly been resolved."

Ao Chui Daoist Venerable almost blurted out.

Feng Gu shook his head: "Ji Zhi is right, Elder Ti Yu should have encountered trouble.

Ao Chui Daoist Venerable, you're the only one in our Tian Meng Clan whose Great Dao in the seventh step hasn't been affected by Chaos; but your seventh step is not much stronger than those Dao Ancestors of the Human Tribe..."

Ao Chui Daoist Venerable lowered his head; his seventh step in the Great Dao was verified later in the Cosmic Universe, so his strength was far inferior to Cang Jizhi and Han Yi Daoist Venerable.

"Do you all know what we should have done?" Feng Gu asked again.

The group looked at each other.

What should they do?

Isn't the Tian Meng Clan supposed to strive to enhance its strength? And yes, all Tian Meng Clan cultivators' Chaos-afflicted Great Dao need timely resolution.

Cang Jizhi's heart surged with a sense of dread, recalling many things; it seemed they had overlooked the Human Tribe.

That simply shouldn't have been the case.

The Human Tribe was their true enemy; just as Clan Leader Feng Gu said, they should have dealt with the Human Tribe first.

But they had all forgotten.

Dao Rhythm surrounded Feng Gu; he opened his mouth and spat out black blood:

"We were supposed to deal with the Human Tribe, to slaughter them completely and turn the Cosmic Universe into our Tian Meng Clan's territory..."

"Yes, weren't we supposed to go out and completely slaughter the Human Tribe, turning the Cosmic Universe into our Tian Meng Clan's territory?" Ao Chui Daoist Venerable finally remembered.

"Forget Rule?" Han Yi's face turned pale; the Tian Meng Clan had dealt with the Human Tribe that way back in the day.

If a Human Clan Cultivator aware of the Forget Rule hadn't suddenly emerged, they would have already wiped out the Human Tribe in the Cosmic Universe.

As for the Cosmic Calamity, that was something to worry about later.

Feng Gu's voice was hoarse, saying word by word: "It's not just the Forget Rule, but also the Collapse Rule.

Including me, we all borrowed the Dao Veins of the Dao Mountain Range to suppress the continued Chaos of the Great Dao, with some improvement.

But now, have you noticed the improving Chaos-afflicted Great Dao is once again chaotically developing, and we didn't realize it immediately..."

Han Yi felt not only pale but a chilling sensation through his body.

This person was too ruthless and formidable.

If it were just the Forget Rule, they would have eventually remembered.

If it were only the Collapse Rule, even if struck, he would understand what was happening and correct it in time.

But combining the Forget Rule with the Collapse Rule, especially targeting the Tian Meng Clan, made them unconsciously overlook the Collapse, causing their Great Dao to weaken day by day.

They could be said to be the strongest cultivators of the entire Tianmeng tribe.

Even they ended up so miserable.

The other cultivators of the Tianmeng tribe affected by the Crumbling Dao Principles? It would be a miracle if they could recover.

Cang Jizhi slowly said, "There seems to be another Slaughter Law specifically targeting our Tianmeng tribe. Only now do I realize that out of the tens of thousands of Tianmeng cultivators who entered the Wandao Mountain Range, not one has returned.

That Slaughter Law was not placed within the Wandao Abyss, but was set up outside the Wandao Mountain Range.

However, over time, the Slaughter Law gradually reached the Tianmeng tribe's habitat within the Wandao Mountain Range.

Now, those who can survive in our Tianmeng tribe are cultivators who have entered the Eternal Life Realm, and they too are affected by the Crumbling Dao Principles.

We could say that even before anyone acts, our Tianmeng tribe is doomed to perish."

Everyone shivered uncontrollably.

So ruthless, so calculating, such methods.

Deliberately had the Human Clan cultivators withdraw from the Wandao Mountain Range, and then had most of the Tianmeng cultivators enter the Wandao Mountain Range to seek the Dao Veins.

Then, the Crumbling Dao Principles, Forgetting Laws, and Slaughter Law were placed in the Wandao Mountain Range.

As the years passed, influenced by these Heaven and Earth Laws, the Tianmeng cultivators remaining in the Wandao Mountain Range were nearly all wiped out.

Even the Tianmeng cultivators who stayed in the Tianmeng tribe's territory within the Wandao Abyss didn't survive much better.

"Ji Zhi, continue speaking," Feng Gu cast his gaze towards Cang Jizhi.

An overwhelming sense of fear filled Cang Jizhi's heart. If she could, she would rather she hadn't chosen to oppose the Humans from the start.

Letting each go their own way would have been the best outcome.

Before the Calamity in the Great Universe, the Tianmeng tribe had already begun setting their plans to seize the Great Universe and had planned to annihilate the cultivators of the entire Human Tribe in the Great Universe.

At that time, the Tianmeng tribe still had the help of the Cosmic Tree, and their plan was flawless.

Just when the Human Tribe was on the verge of eradication, even then, the Human Tribe of the Great Universe hadn't realized what was happening.

It was precisely at the last moment that someone broke through the Forgetting Dao Principle, awakening the Human Tribe.

After the Human Tribe's awakening, although the Tianmeng tribe could still massacre many humans, it became utterly impossible to completely annihilate the Human Tribe.

This was later proven; if not for the coming of the Calamity, who would ultimately triumph, the Tianmeng tribe or the Human Tribe, remained unknown.

A truly formidable character had appeared in the Human Tribe.

This time was no different, the Tianmeng tribe was just about to succeed.

Yet again a powerful Human Clan cultivator emerged, not only placing the Crumbling Dao Principles but also deploying the Forgetting Dao Principles and the Genetic Slaughter Law.

All of these targeted solely the Tianmeng tribe.

In terms of ruthlessness, this person surpassed all previous Human Tribe cultivators.

Could it be that the Tianmeng tribe would never be able to defeat the Human Tribe?

"We should fight to the end, the Humans are definitely afraid of us; otherwise, they wouldn't resort to such underhanded tactics," Ao Chui Daoist Venerable roared.

Cang Jizhi slowly said, "Clan Leader, fellow Daoist Venerables, I speculate that the person who laid down all the eradication Dao Principles against our Tianmeng cultivators is waiting for the right moment to catch our entire Tianmeng tribe in one net, and then annihilate us.

Maybe even our Heavenly Meng Pearl is part of their plan. With our current strength, we can only retreat from the Great Universe, far from here."

Feng Gu immediately said, "From today, Cang Jizhi will be the next Clan Leader of the Tianmeng tribe, and the Heavenly Meng Pearl will be entrusted to Cang Jizhi for safekeeping."

"Clan Leader…"

Cang Jizhi was about to speak, but Feng Gu waved his hand, "Ji Zhi is right, we must leave immediately. If we don't, none of us will be able to escape.

Ji Zhi, you must take all the surviving Tianmeng cultivators and use the Heavenly Meng Pearl to leave the Great Universe, without a moment's hesitation."

"But…"

"Don't concern yourself with me; I'll stay behind. My Great Dao is severed, and I have no hope for life. I'll delay them once more for the Tianmeng tribe.

Remember, in the future, unless you reach the Ninth Step of the Great Dao or have fully developed your own Great Dao, do not provoke the Human Tribe."

"Yes."

...

Even Ding Huan hadn't anticipated that his Forgetting Dao Principle, along with the Crumbling Dao Principles and Genetic Slaughter Law, would push the Tianmeng tribe to this dire state.

The main reason was the Forgetting Dao Principle.

Without the Forgetting Dao Principle, even if Tianmeng cultivators were affected by the Crumbling Dao Principles, they could have quickly responded.

But with the added Forgetting Dao Principle, the effect of the Crumbling Dao Principles was magnified infinitely.

If Ding Huan had known how powerful the Forgetting Dao Principle combined with the Crumbling Dao Principles would be, he wouldn't have rushed to comprehend the Calamity Barrier.

He surely would have acted before the Tianmeng tribe could retreat, and obtained the Heavenly Meng Pearl.

At this moment, Ding Huan's situation wasn't much better than that of the Tianmeng tribe's clan leader Feng Gu.

Because upon comprehending the mysteries of the Barrier, he fully entered it and touched upon the Calamity Laws.

As the first Calamity Law easily tore his Protective Domain, Ding Huan's physical body was continuously shredded by the Calamity Laws.

Moreover, his Great Dao was rapidly crumbling under the Calamity Laws' effects.

(Goodnight, fellow Daoist!)
