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

Mi Zhong was murdered, and Bu Yue's eyes darkened with menace.

Mi Zhong was not only his son-in-law but also his capable assistant, having helped him with countless matters.

Moreover, that Emperor's Vitality Fruit was his, grown on his behalf by Mi Zhong.

Emperor Wushang was ruthless and heartless, securing Ding Huan and his own position without the slightest concern for the life and death of these hard-working, loyal individuals.

Serving such a person was not worth it.

Emperor Ping Wei breathed a sigh of relief, admiring Ding Huan even more at heart. Being able to turn the tables under such circumstances was truly not something an ordinary person could achieve.

Chu Xingren's back was soaked with sweat. This was clearly obtaining the backing of a Great Emperor, and yet now he was being targeted for elimination by the very same.

Indeed, in the eyes of a Great Emperor, they were less than worthless.

"Great Emperor, your servant has something to say," a man clad in a Star Lord Robe, wearing the Star Lord Crown, and with a face full of purple energy, stepped forward.

Emperor Wushang spoke in a gentle tone, "Star Lord Du Yue, please speak."

Ding Huan hadn't expected this person to be Star Lord Wu Wudu; wasn't he said to have been imprisoned last time due to the peace negotiations between the Immortal and Demon races? How had he been released in just a few days?

Wu Wudu pointed at Ding Huan and shouted accusatorily,

"Ding Huan, who once went by the name Zhang San, collaborated with my house slave Kulu to kill my son Wu Jian. I beseech the Great Emperor to give me justice."

Ding Huan's heart sank—this was something Wu Wudu could not possibly know.

Unless Wu Wudu had captured Kulu and forced a confession... But Ding Huan was clear about Kulu's character; even under duress, Kulu wouldn't speak, which only left the possibility of a Soul Search.

The murderous aura around Ding Huan became unmistakable.

Wu Wudu stared at Ding Huan coldly, "What now? You want to kill me, Wu Wudu? I am standing right here. If you dare, try to kill me and see."

Sensing the killing intent on Ding Huan, Xing Pan was greatly invigorated.

What use was there in prattling on with these people? They should just fight.

"Where is Kulu?" Ding Huan asked, each word weighed with gravity.

Wu Wudu waved his hand, and Kulu fell to the ground.

But at that moment, his eyes were lifeless, his body covered in blood, and his Daoist Rhythm in utter disarray, clearly having endured inhuman torture.

Ding Huan immediately supported Kulu, and then he sensed that Kulu's Sea of Consciousness was shattered, with not one intact meridian left torn throughout his body.

"Old brother, when we make our move later, you take care of this Wu Wudu first," Ding Huan transmitted a message to Xing Pan.

Xing Pan was startled. Were they not supposed to take down Emperor Wushang first?

But he had no objections to Ding Huan's words. If they were going to take down Wu Wudu first, then that's what they would do.

Today, he came here to kill; these parasitic nobles deserved to be cleanly cut down to the last.

Ding Huan fed several Immortal Pills to Kulu, who opened his eyes, "Who are you?"

"I am Zhang San; this is my true appearance," Ding Huan sighed.

He had not wanted Kulu to know his real appearance initially, for fear that Kulu might be captured.

Now it seemed that his fears had been realized; not only had Kulu been captured, but Wu Wudu had also deduced his identity as Ding Huan from the alias Zhang San.

With a hoarse voice, Kulu said, "Ding Huan, I'm sorry; it's because of me that Wu Wudu found out about you."

Ding Huan waved his hand dismissively, "I will avenge you."

"Your friend from the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect has also been captured by Wu Wudu. He mentioned a woman with an Immortal Spirit Body being offered to the Demon Race in exchange for peace..." After struggling to say these words, Kulu's breath turned exceedingly weak.

Ding Huan then placed Kulu into one of his True Spirit Worlds.

Wu Wudu stared coldly at Ding Huan, "Quite bold, daring to hide a witness in the Immortal Court Palace, impressive."

Emperor Wushang also fixed Ding Huan with a frosty gaze,

"Ding Huan, do you really think you can act lawlessly just because you've studied the Laws of the Nine Courts? Do you think a witness is something you can simply take away?"

Ding Huan chuckled contemptuously, pointing coldly at Wu Wudu, "Wu Wudu, if you don't bring Wen Zhixi here today, I promise I'll raze your stronghold and grind your skull into pulp."

Emperor Wushang's anger flared up instantly, slapping the table in front of him, "Guards, seize this madman Ding Huan for me."

Everyone exchanged puzzled glances.

Hadn't Ding Huan just made Emperor Wushang powerless with the Laws of the Nine Courts, and now he was seemingly walking into a trap with this attitude?

All the work that Bu Yue had done for the whole morning had been in vain?

How could there be someone so foolish?

But no, calling this man a fool was a mistake; even Emperor Zhong had been bested by his hands just moments ago.

Several Powerful Warriors rushed towards Ding Huan, and even Emperor Ping Wei, who wished to interfere, was too late.

"Move." Right after Ding Huan transmitted the message to Xing Pan, a yellow Flower of Death blasted towards Wu Wudu.

Wu Wudu felt a pain in his Sea of Consciousness and understood immediately that Ding Huan was attacking him. Had the lad gone mad?

Such sneaky tactics, and he dared to make a move?

He didn't wait for the Powerful Warriors to reach Ding Huan and extended his hand to grab at him.

But in the next moment, an aura of deathly Dao Rhythm enveloped his body.

Wu Wudu frantically expanded his Domain, only to discover that it couldn't block the infiltration of the deadly aura.

Xing Pan's domain of killing had already thoroughly overwhelmed Wu Wudu's domain, and that wasn't the end of it—Ding Huan's domain was also layered on top.

Though Ding Huan was a Da Yi Immortal, his domain was far from ordinary.

If it were only Ding Huan alone, Wu Wudu could completely ignore his domain, but Ding Huan's domain coupled with Xing Pan's was a wholly different concept.

It was by no means as simple as one plus one.

In terms of strength, Xing Pan had always been able to crush Wu Wudu effortlessly, and now Ding Huan was helping him.

"Crack!"

A sound of bones shattering echoed, and Wu Wudu spat out a blood arrow from his mouth, then he felt his Purple Mansion and Dantian completely restrained.

By the time everyone saw that it was Ding Huan's attendant who had caught Wu Wudu, the battle was already over.

Several Star Lords standing next to Wu Wudu did have a chance to help, but they seemed not to react at all, making no move to assist.

"Bang!" Xing Pan slammed Wu Wudu to the ground at Ding Huan's feet.

Ding Huan instinctively lifted his foot, stepping right onto Wu Wudu's chest.

Wu Wudu's Sea of Consciousness and Domain had already been completely sealed by Xing Pan, and with Ding Huan's foot coming down, he spat out more than a dozen blood arrows.

Fear appeared in his eyes, as his Purple Mansion was shattered by Ding Huan's powerful Immortal Essence, his meridians beginning to collapse inch by inch under Ding Huan's foot.

Prohibition Patterns locked away all of his vitality.

"Who are you?" Emperor Wushang, who had suddenly stood up, stared at Xing Pan.

Even he could not have taken down Wu Wudu in such a short period of time.

Wu Wudu was a Star Lord, albeit at the early stage of an Immortal Emperor.

It might be simple to kill Wu Wudu through a sneak attack, but to capture him unharmed was difficult.

"Emperor Xing Pan," Xing Pan said, as his aura surged and then he returned to his original appearance.

"Emperor Xing Pan? He's still alive?"

"The leader of the Five Great Emperors, Emperor Xing Pan?"

...

People in the Immortal Court Palace began to discuss fervently, as Xing Pan's appearance was truly shocking.

Regret flooded Emperor Wushang, he should not have allowed Xing Pan to enter the contest.

If it was someone else, on top of the Immortal Court, no matter how strong they were, they would not be able to escape. This place was full of Immortal Emperors and Kings.

But Xing Pan was different, to put it precisely, the Heavenly Emperor's Position originally belonged to Xing Pan, and without the Taoist Ancestor forcefully intervening, he would have had no qualification to be the Heavenly Emperor.

Emperor Zhong looked composed, yet his heart was like a stormy sea.

Xing Pan had come.

If he had known Xing Pan was with Ding Huan earlier, he would definitely not have enacted laws with Ding Huan but instead directly used his privilege to let Ding Huan take the lead.

"Seize these two rebels!" Emperor Wushang roared with anger.

But no one moved.

Even his trusted Immortal Prime Minister Bu Yue did not budge.

There were no fools here.

Xing Pan was once the leader of the Five Great Emperors, the undisputed choice for Heavenly Emperor. In other words, had the Taoist Ancestor and the others not come to the Pangu Great World, it would have been Xing Pan seated in Emperor Wushang's place.

Ding Huan was stunned for a while before suddenly saying, "Dude, with your influence, why the hell am I fighting a lawsuit?"

He truly hadn't expected Xing Pan's influence to be so significant.

"Brother Xing Pan, my apologies for past wrongs," Emperor Ping Wei was the first to come over and greet.

He had a deep relationship with Ding Huan and highly recognized Huan's abilities.

So long as Ding Huan did not fall, his future achievements would surely not be inferior to them, perhaps even greater.

Since he wanted to make amends with Ding Huan, it was necessary to reconcile with Xing Pan, and so he clearly understood this and was the first to apologize.

Xing Pan laughed heartily, "Back then, you all had no choice but to take action, and I was not at a loss."

At that time, under the gaze of the Taoist Ancestor, who dared not put in the effort?

As Emperor Ping Wei took the initiative to approach, Emperor Wushang's face turned cold, "Xing Pan, what do you mean?"

Xing Pan looked contemptuously at Emperor Wushang,

"What do I mean? Hehe, since you're sitting on the Heavenly Emperor's throne, why do you allow the Demon Clan, the Demon Race, and the God Clan to invade our Great Immortal Domain? Making it so that cultivators of the Human Tribe and Immortal Sects have nowhere to survive?

When have the humans ever been so oppressed? And you call yourself a Great Emperor? Pah!

Today, you summoned my brother Ding Huan here, and you know exactly why. I'll tell you straight, as long as I, Xing Pan, live another day, you, Wushang, better not think about harming a hair on my brother Ding Huan."

Emperor Wushang was seething with anger inside him; he felt helpless as he simply couldn't command anyone to act.

He had just killed Mi Zhong, resulting in even Bu Yue not listening to him anymore.

And Wu Wudu, who was supposed to ally with him, had not even made a move before being taken down.

It was because everyone saw Xing Pan's strength that they dared not act.

How many here were stronger than Wu Wudu?

"Haha, Mr. Ding, I knew you were no ordinary person. In just a short time, you've impressed me greatly; even Brother Xing Pan listens to you."

Emperor Jin He walked over.

He actually greeted Ding Huan first, only then did he fist-greet Xing Pan, saying, "Brother Xing Pan, it's been a long time. Seeing you still so vigorous delights me greatly."

Some things did not need to be spoken; everyone understood.

If Emperor Jin He had not held back back then, Xing Pan would not have just escaped with severe injuries but would have been killed.

"Mr. Ding, although I, Ji Changsi, am merely an Immortal King, should you have any commands, I, Ji Changsi, will definitely do my utmost, regardless of life and death."

Surprisingly, an Immortal Sect Master who stood last in line rushed forward and paid respects to Ding Huan.
