Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 984 - 977: The Alliance Scatters
Di He saw Ding Huan make a move, and the Domain unhesitatingly swept towards Zhu Xunjiang.
Zhu Xunjiang, who had just been forced back by Di He, could only throw a punch to counter Ding Huan's punch.
Boom!
The Dao Rhythm Law shattered in space, Zhu Xunjiang felt a fierce Taoist Aura tearing apart his Protective Domain, causing his Dao Rhythm to roll into chaos, almost suffocating him.
Guo Qingshan, who initially wanted to make a move, immediately gave up on the idea upon witnessing this.
Zhu Xunjiang made a move because he was a mere Loose Cultivator.
As a Daoist of the Heart Sword Dao, if he dared to act now, they'd dare to take the fight to the Heart Sword Dao's Taoist Sect.
"Everyone, this person must be from outside. He killed Qi Sha and impersonated him to enter our World of Gods. We should join forces to kill him."
Zhu Xunjiang, pushed back by Ding Huan's punch, was furious.
If it weren't for Di He helping on the side, he swore he would kill Ding Huan thousands of times to show him the existence of the Seventh Step.
After saying this, Zhu Xunjiang looked towards Jian Zhen.
No matter what, Jian Zhen was the nominal Alliance Hierarch.
Dealing with Ding Huan should be initiated by Jian Zhen.
Jian Zhen remained silent.
He wasn't foolish.
A Seventh Step of the Great Dao was beside Ding Huan, and Ding Huan himself was capable of severely wounding Lou Poyi.
Zhu Xunjiang still thought it was the old days?
Back then, when everyone joined forces against Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu, what was the outcome? He gained no benefits.
Furthermore, this time he was severely injured by Xian Qingan's ambush.
Not to mention, Ding Huan was about to trade the Chaos Treasure with him, why would he make a move?
Is it dissatisfaction that the Chaos Treasure shouldn't belong to him?
Seeing Jian Zhen not intending to act, Zhu Xunjiang looked at the other three.
Suddenly, Xian Qingan laughed loudly, turned around, and quickly left.
Regardless, the Chaos Treasure wouldn't fall into his hands, so why stay here?
If he really took action, having ambushed Jian Zhen earlier, Jian Zhen could ambush him in return, which he deserved.
Besides, the hearts of the Taoist Sect in the World of Gods have long been not united.
Without any benefit, why fight for others here?
Seeing Xian Qingan turn and flee, Zhu Xunjiang, Han Congjian, and Guo Qingshan all frowned but remained silent.
However, the three did not immediately leave.
Zhu Xunjiang, having suffered losses at the hands of Ding Huan and Di He before, was the first to sacrifice a Magical Treasure, simultaneously sweeping his Domain:
"Brother Han, Brother Guo, they only have one Seventh Step. If we three first capture this Ding Huan..."
The implied message was that the three of them should deal with Di He.
As for Ding Huan and Ji Sixin, they were simply not worth mentioning.
Ji Sixin stepped forward without hesitation, reaching into the Void and grasping a Glazed Cup emitting green light in her hand.
The fierce Saint Domain spilled out, stacking with Di He's Domain, instantly tearing apart the space where they were and the space where Zhu Xunjiang and the three were located.
"Seventh Step?"
Zhu Xunjiang looked at Ji Sixin in shock.
He never imagined Ji Sixin could step into the Seventh Step.
If Ji Sixin had the potential to step into the Seventh Step, she and her father, Ji Yuanan, wouldn't have fully invested in him.
"You stepped into the Seventh Step too?" Zhu Xunjiang regained his composure, still somewhat in disbelief.
Ji Sixin said faintly, "If you can step into the Seventh Step with my Ji Family's help, why couldn't I?"
Since the mask had been torn off, there was no need to feign politeness with Zhu Xunjiang.
Anyway, with her current strength, she didn't fear Zhu Xunjiang at all.
"Congratulations to Chairman Ji for stepping into the Seventh Step, haha." Han Congjian laughed, clasped fists in congratulation, and quickly left.
Guo Qingshan also clasped fists in congratulation and swiftly fled.
Ding Huan's side had two Seventh Steps, and Ding Huan's own strength seemed not to be low.
Plus, Jian Zhen was watching nearby. They'd have to be foolish to fight against Ding Huan's group now.
Zhu Xunjiang awkwardly smiled, put away his Magical Treasure, and said to Ji Sixin, "Congratulations, Si Xin, it's indeed a joyous and congratulatory matter that you could step into the Seventh Step."
Ji Sixin just coldly looked at Zhu Xunjiang, with no intention of responding.
Embarrassed, Zhu Xunjiang dared not linger, hastily retreated, and quickly fled afar.
Of the five cosmic masters, four left, only one remained.
Jian Zhen felt somewhat uneasy.
However, faced with the temptation of the Chaos Treasure, he resisted the urge to flee.
"Mr. Ding, does our transaction still stand?" Jian Zhen carefully asked.
If Ding Huan didn't want to trade, he'd leave immediately.
Ding Huan had long been known as a ruthless person.
Ding Huan extended his hand, and the Chaos Treasure Incense Burner appeared before Jian Zhen: "Of course it stands, bring out your items, and this Chaos Treasure is yours."
Jian Zhen scanned cautiously, ensuring the Incense Burner wasn't locked by a Forbidden Lock.
He cautiously took out a ring: "Mr. Ding, everything you asked for is here, including the vast stone sphere as a Heaven Creation Treasure, which is my first Magical Treasure."
When Ding Huan rolled up his hand and Jian Zhen found the ring in his hand missing, he quickly grabbed the Incense Burner and sent it into his own world.
It was only when the Incense Burner lay quietly within his world that he breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be real.
This Chaos Treasure had never appeared before, and once he refined it, he would be its first master.
No matter what kind of treasure this Incense Burner was, or if it already had a name, he had already thought of a new name for this Chaos Treasure, which was the Vast Burner.
The Heaven Creation Treasure, the Vast Stone Orb, was gone, and now there's a new Chaos Treasure, the Vast Burner.
Ding Huan's Divine Will landed inside the ring, and sure enough, there was a Dao Pearl in it and a Jade Scroll about the fall of a Dao Pillar.
He was quite satisfied with this transaction.
"Mr. Ding, I, Jian, will take my leave now." Jian Zhen was eager to leave.
His first priority was to perfect his Seventh Step of the Great Dao, and second was to refine the Vast Burner.
Ding Huan called out to the anxious Jian Zhen, who was about to leave: "Mr. Jian, the World of Gods belongs to the cultivators of the entire Vast Universe, not the natives here.
Intervening too much may shorten your lifespan. If you don't believe me, you can ask King Jiang Jian and Lou Poyi.
I suggest you use this precious time to cultivate and not be the scapegoat for others.
Look, if I didn't sell you the Chaos Treasure today, you would have suffered a huge loss without gaining anything."
Jian Zhen laughed awkwardly, "Mr. Ding is right, I will remember that, goodbye."
With that, Jian Zhen no longer stayed, turning to quickly leave.
Even without Ding Huan's words, he wouldn't foolishly continue to lead the defense of the World of Gods.
Earlier, when he purchased the Chaos Treasure from Ding Huan, what did Han Congjian and the others mean? They just hoped he wouldn't obtain the Chaos Treasure.
And when it came to snatching the Chaos Treasure, Xian Qingan, who usually called him brother, plotted against him from behind.
Heh, it's all for their own paths. Now that he has the Chaos Essence and the Chaos Treasure, his immediate priority is to improve his cultivation and stabilize his Great Dao.
Other matters, what do they have to do with Jian Zhen?
"Brother Ding, should we continue searching for treasures?" Di He asked.
He didn't want to continue the treasure hunt; he just wanted to return and go into seclusion as soon as possible.
"There's not much use in other treasures here for us. Brother, once I return, I will break through the World of Gods' barriers. You should stay in the Gods' Trading Building to consolidate your Seventh Step of the Great Dao."
Originally, Ding Huan planned to heed Ji Sixin's suggestion and explore the Fog Realm.
Now he found that the several Seventh Step beings in the World of Gods were just like this.
So there's no hurry to go to the Fog Realm.
Once he shatters the World of Gods' barriers, he will immediately return to Blue Star Island.
The best time for cultivation on Blue Star Island is in the first few decades.
After all, the Heaven and Earth Rules are not as complete as those in the World of Gods.
By that time, Bai He and the others will be brought to the World of Gods.
Only then did Ji Sixin understand why Ding Huan warned Jian Zhen before he left; this was to tell Jian Zhen not to stand out when Ding Huan breaks the World of Gods' barriers.
Although true chaos was right before him, Ding Huan still had no intention of entering.
He had a premonition that entering the chaos now would be seeking death.
If he were to enter chaos, he would wait until after reaching the Seventh Step of the Great Dao.
Ding Huan conjured the Cosmic Pot, called Ji Sixin and Di He aboard, and quickly left.
Half an hour after the Cosmic Pot departed, a pale figure suddenly appeared from a distance.
He watched Ding Huan's departing figure, eyes filled with a killing aura.
Lo and behold, it was Lou Poyi, whom Ding Huan thought had long since left.
"I hope you can clean your neck well, don't let me down." Lou Poyi's voice was almost word-by-word, devoid of any warmth.
Since achieving the Dao, he had never wanted to kill someone so much.
However, Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot stopped.
"Brother Ding Huan, what's the matter?" Di He asked quickly when he saw Ding Huan stop the Cosmic Pot.
Previously, every time Ding Huan stopped the Cosmic Pot, good things would appear.
From Chaos Essence to Chaos Treasures...
Ding Huan chuckled, "Nothing, I was fooled by someone."
He had been chasing Lou Poyi, and upon reaching here, the Killing Dao Rhythm left on Lou Poyi disappeared without a trace.
Obviously, Lou Poyi had sensed he was being pursued and had found a way to teleport away the Killing Dao Rhythm at the perfect time, leaving Ding Huan unaware.
This meant Lou Poyi hadn't actually left at that time.
Ding Huan casually sketched in the void, and a blurred image appeared before him.
At this time, even Ji Sixin and Di He saw Lou Poyi's suddenly appearing figure.
"Did this old guy really hide there all along?" Di He looked at Ding Huan, ready to turn back if Ding Huan said so.
Ding Huan waved his hand, "It's too late to go back now, that guy is gone."
Ji Sixin silently marveled; although she had always been the Business Building Lord, her schemes were still far behind these people.
She had never even thought Lou Poyi would remain in the same place.
Nor had she thought that after Ding Huan left, he would draw Monitoring Array Patterns on the spot. How cautious could one be?
