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

Ding Huan had just taken his position on the eighth platform when, before the woman he was facing could speak, Ding Huan heard a stern voice from below the stage:

"The sixth disciple of the Da Fan Immortal Sect, if you dare to lay a hand on Qingqing, I, Zuo Liang, will immediately challenge you and swear to break both your arms and legs and destroy your Sea of Consciousness."

Ding Huan stared dumbfounded at the man making the threats. Zuo Liang? Who the heck is that?

What Ding Huan didn't expect was that before he could respond, the woman standing opposite him spoke:

"Senior Brother Zuo Liang is one of the Top Ten Profound Immortals of the Great Immortal Domain and the number one core disciple of the Jiukun Immortal Sect. When Senior Brother Zuo Liang was still a mid-stage Profound Immortal, he had participated in a competition below the Da Yi Immortal in the Immortal Court and secured the third place."

"Oh, I thought it was first place, you really startled me there," Ding Huan gave a nonchalant response, as if simply acknowledging that he heard.

"My name is Mu Qingqing. Do you know why I'm not one of the Top Ten Profound Immortals?" Mu Qingqing sure had a lot of unnecessary things to say.

Ding Huan spread his hand, and a long blade appeared in it: "Not interested in knowing."

"Because I don't need the title of Top Ten Profound Immortals to prove myself. Since Senior Brother Zuo Liang wants to break your legs, I might as well do it for him."

Having said that, Mu Qingqing grabbed a huge tripod, which, carrying a surging murderous aura, she hurled towards Ding Huan.

Ding Huan looked at this Mu Qingqing as if she were an idiot. Had she really been called one-half of the 'Twin Prides of Jiukun' for nothing? However, it was rare for such a delicate-looking woman to use a huge tripod as a Magical Treasure.

Right now, Ding Huan had no time to waste. He swung his long blade.

Boom!

The long blade collided head-on with the huge tripod. Logically speaking, Given their sizes, Ding Huan's blade should have been broken by now, and he should've been sent flying.

However, the reality was that when Ding Huan's blade clashed with the huge tripod, waves of Dao Rhythm exploded between them and the fierce Immortal Essence Power directly blasted Mu Qingqing back more than a dozen steps.

Ding Huan was inwardly taken aback. Although he only used fifty percent of his Immortal Essence, he was certain that Han Qiongsang was no match for Mu Qingqing – this woman had some skills.

"There's some substantiation to your arrogance."

To Ding Huan's surprise, he had not been the one to speak those words, but Mu Qingqing had said them first.

After saying this, Mu Qingqing's aura suddenly surged, doubling in strength.

The space around them suddenly became oppressive, and Ding Huan felt as if he were stuck in a quagmire.

Ding Huan's heart skipped a beat. This woman was powerful. He had only used fifty percent of his strength so far, and clearly, she had not yet gone all out.

Such a Domain could definitely compare to that of an average Da Yi Immortal.

Ding Huan had truly never imagined that a cultivator who didn't practice the Great Universe Technique could expand their Domain to such an extent.

The huge tripod transformed into a towering peak that crashed down from the sky, and at the same moment, Ding Huan saw six blade lights that could make one's soul tremble being summoned by Mu Qingqing.

Almost immediately after she summoned those six blade lights, they locked onto all the vital space around Ding Huan.

The thought of death was irresistible, swirling around his mind like bone-devouring maggots, as if it could merge with his own consciousness at any moment.

Ding Huan snorted coldly, the starry universe within his Tao Sea of Consciousness triggered the Great Universe Technique, and his mind instantly cleared.

Taking a deep breath and not holding back anymore, Ding Huan's Starry Sky Domain wildly unfurled. He had to use his Domain to deal with this woman.

She was the most formidable Profound Immortal cultivator he had ever encountered, bar none.

If that Zuo Liang was even stronger than her, then Ding Huan would really have to ask him what kind of Cultivation Technique he was practicing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As soon as Ding Huan's Domain expanded, it collided with Mu Qingqing's Domain, causing her expression to change slightly.

To her astonishment, she discovered that her own Domain was cracking.

How could this be?

No one knew that she had fought with a Da Yi Immortal.

During her past trials, an imprudent newly-advanced Da Yi Immortal tried to fight her for an item, but she fought off his Domain with her own Profound Immortal Domain and held her ground.

Later, when that Da Yi Immortal retreated too late, he was slain by her six Reincarnation Blades.

Thump!

What shocked Mu Qingqing even more was that Ding Huan's punch had hit her Emperor Tripod, and rather than being knocked away, the tripod rolled back towards her.

Mu Qingqing crazily burned her Essence Blood and spat out a Blood Arrow onto the Emperor Tripod, causing it to spin atop her head ceaselessly without flying off.

Just then, Ding Huan felt a sense of Daoist Rhythm vibrating in his consciousness, as if a voice from deep underground was calling to him:

Reincarnate! Cast off your mortal body and with your soul, reincarnate.

With just a slight shift in his Divine Will, the voice vanished. He saw that the six blades had already invaded his Domain.

Ding Huan practiced the Great Universe Technique, his understanding of the Law Rhythms of all things exceedingly clear.

With a mere glance at the six blades, he recognized that they were particularly valuable treasures.

Maybe that Reincarnation Dao Rhythm was perceived and cast by Mu Qingqing, but the Reincarnation Law Rhythm was unmistakably emanating from the six blades themselves.

The six blades that penetrated his Domain were a real treasure.

This was aimed at him, but had it been someone else who could not snap out of the Reincarnation Law Rhythm in time, their life would have been claimed by these six blades.

With a sweep of his hand, Ding Huan's powerful Immortal Essence swirled, and in the next instant, the six Reincarnation Blades vanished from sight.

Mu Qingqing stood there in shock, when had anyone ever been able to sweep away her Refine Reincarnation Blades? That was impossible.

After a full two breaths, she finally screamed frantically, "Give back my Reincarnation Blades…"

She had only uttered a few words when she felt a sharp pain in her knees, and almost immediately afterward, she was sent flying into the air.

Bang! Mu Qingqing crashed onto the ground, her kneecaps shattered to pieces.

Not only had her Six Paths Reincarnation Knife been taken, but her Emperor Tripod was also seized by Ding Huan.

Bang!

Mu Qingqing, like a sandbag, was tossed from the sky and landed below the arena.

"Contestant 3211 wins."

The voice seemed to mock Mu Qingqing deliberately, clear and sharp in her ears as she hit the ground.

"Qingqing…" Zuo Liang was by her side in an instant, urgently reaching out to support her.

Mu Qingqing had calmed down from the initial rage of having her treasures snatched away, and she swallowed several Healing Immortal Pills.

Fortunately, she was still alive. As long as she was alive, the treasures that had been taken from her could be reclaimed.

Something even more terrifying happened; Dao Rhythm Laws swirl around her broken legs, rendering the normally life-giving Healing Immortal Pills utterly ineffective.

Before the pill's energy could reach her injuries, it was completely consumed.

How powerful!

At this moment, Mu Qingqing felt both panic-stricken and anxious.

Seeing Mu Qingqing's combination of rage, indignation, and fear, Zuo Liang's anger reached its peak.

He was the number one prodigy below the Da Yi Immortal in the Great Immortal Domain—anything he wanted he could have, except for Mu Qingqing's affection.

Mu Qingqing treated him with great respect, always regarding him as her senior brother.

But every time he expressed his love, he was brutally rejected.

And yet, this did nothing to diminish Mu Qingqing's standing in his heart.

In his eyes, Mu Qingqing was like a goddess, and any harm that came to her would drive him to hysteria.

And now, her legs had been smashed.

"Not only did that Lao Liu grievously injure Sister Qingqing, but he also robbed her of her Magical Treasures. Senior Brother Zuo, you must teach that Lao Liu a lesson and take back the ring," a disciple from the Jiukun Immortal Sect spoke out furiously.

"I'll make him beg for death," Zuo Liang said, his face contorting with rage, revealing his inner madness.

Yet, it was as if Mu Qingqing didn't hear his words. Unlike Zuo Liang, who didn't understand her, she was well aware of Zuo Liang's strength.

Zuo Liang stepped into the void and seemingly in just one step, he was upon the platform, coldly stating to Ding Huan, "You will soon know the meaning of regret."

"Oh, you're going to kill me?" Ding Huan remained calm.

"No, I won't kill you. I'll just break your legs, shatter your Purple Mansion, crush your Dantian, and toss you on the street for stray dogs," Zuo Liang countered with a sneer, conjuring his Soul Devouring Spear, a wailing sound emanating from its tip as it was swept up in his Domain towards Ding Huan.

Another spear user, huh.

Ding Huan's Starry Sky Domain also opened up. Mu Qingqing had been so powerful, and Zuo Liang ranked first among the Top Ten Profound Immortals, so he was naturally even stronger.

But then he was taken aback.

Wasn't Zuo Liang recognized as the number one Profound Immortal in the Great Immortal Domain?

Zuo Liang's Domain was clearly inferior to Mu Qingqing's, by quite a margin; what was going on?

Sure enough, this fellow was much stronger than Han Qiongsang, but compared to Mu Qingqing, there was still a significant gap.

What a waste of my expressions, Ding Huan thought resignedly. How confident must this man be to think he could take charge for Mu Qingqing?

Ding Huan didn't want to waste time, his Starry Sky Domain aggressively pressed down on Zuo Liang.

Crack! Zuo Liang could clearly hear the sound of his Domain being shattered, and the spirit of his Soul Devouring Spear failed to lunge forward.

What's more, he was horrified to find that his own Domain was as if it were non-existent, and he was utterly unable to extricate himself from the opponent's hold.

How could this be just strong?

Zuo Liang felt a tingling at the top of his head—he was no stranger to the ways of the world.

When he was in the mid-stage of being a Profound Immortal, he had defeated many late-stage and even Perfect Profound Immortals at the Immortal Court.

If he were to compete in the Immortal Court's battle of Profound Immortals now, he wouldn't be just third—he would be at the peak.

But he swore that Ding Huan's strength was beyond the concept of a Profound Immortal. Did even a Da Yi Immortal have such a formidable Domain?

Crack!

Crack, crack, crack!

Zuo Liang heard his arms break!

Zuo Liang heard his legs break!

Zuo Liang heard his Sea of Consciousness shatter, his Dantian shatter...

At this moment, Zuo Liang was utterly desperate.

The current situation was a cruel echo of the words he had delivered before stepping onto the stage; the opponent had returned them all, with the addition of a broken pair of arms.

A tearing pain came from his back, and then he was airborne; while still in the air, he heard Ding Huan's voice as if close to his ear, gentle in its delivery:

"I won't bother feeding you to stray dogs; I'm rather busy. How about you crawl there yourself?"
