Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 978 - 971: A Slash at Lou Poyi
Ji Sixin took a deep breath, knowing that trying to bluff her way through was no longer an option.
Today, she must make her faction alignment very clear; otherwise, neither Jian Zhen nor Lou Poyi would let her off.
"Alliance Master Jian, indeed this place is not the Chaos Zone of our Gods Trading Building, but it is the Chaos Zone of the Qian Ye Taoist Sect.
When we entered the Chaos Zone, this rule was added during Alliance Master Jian's discussions with the various Taoist sects.
It states that for any Taoist sect that has disappeared, if they have a Chaos Zone, the items in that zone are unclaimed, and whoever obtains them owns them.
The Qian Ye Taoist Sect disappeared seven hundred years ago, and now our Gods Trading Building has obtained some Dao Veins here. According to the rules, it is allowed, so why does Alliance Master Jian question our acquisition of Dao Veins here?"
Upon hearing Ji Sixin's words, Jian Zhen was at a loss for words.
He hadn't really checked which faction's Chaos Zone this belonged to.
Because there was no need for him to determine whose it belonged to.
No matter whose it is, as long as it is not the Chaos Zone of the Gods Trading Building, he has the right to intervene in anything the Gods Trading Building acquires here.
He, Jian Zhen, is the Alliance Hierarch of the Holy Dao Alliance of the World of Gods, nominally responsible for coordinating the division of the Chaos Zone.
But how could Ji Sixin know so clearly whose Chaos Zone this is?
"So that's how it is; it seems I wrongly accused you." Jian Zhen showed a sudden realization.
"But even if the rule is that whoever obtains the items owns them, your Gods Trading Building cannot rob them," Lou Poyi stepped forward when he saw that Jian Zhen was unwilling to break off relations completely.
Ji Sixin frowned and asked, "What does Master Lou mean by this?"
"This place was discovered by our Gods Hall's Lord Jin and Elder Tang. Just as they discovered the Dao Veins here, people from your Gods Trading Building seized the Dao Veins first."
Lou Poyi pointed to the gaps where the top-grade and high-grade Dao Veins had been extracted.
Only some fragmented mid-grade and low-grade Dao Veins remained here.
Ding Huan was only concerned about the integrity of the high-grade and top-grade Dao Veins, not caring for mid-grade and low-grade ones.
So, the broken Dao Veins here were also due to Ding Huan.
Ji Sixin wanted to speak, but Ding Huan gestured with a wave of his hand, indicating she needn't speak.
He looked at Lou Poyi, "To be shameless to such a degree is truly beyond my expectations. If it's a fight you want, then let's fight."
With that, Ding Huan raised his hand, and the Breaking Tribulation Blade drew a perfect arc of the sword, instantly enveloping this space in killing momentum.
"So strong..." Even just from an arc of the sword, Jian Zhen could see Ding Huan's strength.
This fellow that the Gods Trading Building just brought forward dares to challenge Lou Poyi. Could he also be a Master of the Universe at the Seventh Step?
This Sword Force is hard to discern, and with the Dao Rhythm around Ding Huan not apparent, Jian Zhen couldn't ascertain Ding Huan's true cultivation.
Based on intuition, he thought Ding Huan wasn't at the Seventh Step.
But the Sword Force in Ding Huan's strike made him feel that Ding Huan was indeed a genuinely powerful Seventh Step.
"Heh heh, there are many who wish to teach me, Lou Poyi, a lesson, yet here I am standing as usual today."
Lou Poyi chuckled and took a step forward, altering the spatial aura instantly.
The Sword Momentum Space originally locked by Ding Huan began to waver, seemingly ready to shatter under this step of Lou Poyi's at any moment.
Lou Poyi opened his hand, revealing a miniature black hall in his palm.
Seeing the miniature hall in Lou Poyi's hand, Ding Huan's eyelid twitched slightly.
His Magical Treasure was quite inferior.
This miniature hall of Lou Poyi's was definitely a post-Chaos Supreme Treasure, several tiers above his Breaking Tribulation Blade.
Jiang Jian Wang had the Ice Dragon, a Chaos Treasure, and Lou Poyi had this post-Chaos Supreme Treasure.
His only Eternal God Wheel had been destroyed, and compared to these veteran figures, his Magical Treasure couldn't compare.
"Haha, how could a fight be without me, Di He," Di He's voice came.
Watching as Di He stepped through the Void beneath a Red Sun, Ding Huan sighed.
Although Di He had basically recovered his strength, his identity should have been revealed ahead of time.
Sure enough, seeing Di He approach, Lou Poyi sneered coldly with an extremely icy tone, "So you truly are Qi Sha..."
Realizing the flaw in his words, he corrected himself, "You killed Qi Sha, impersonating Qi Sha to come to the World of Gods.
You escaped at the Gods Plaza back then, so do you think you can escape now?"
The impostor Qi Sha had always been together with Di He at the Gods Plaza, so upon seeing Di He now, even a fool would deduce that Ding Huan is the fake Qi Sha.
Even if Ding Huan's aura bore no resemblance to Qi Sha, without such capability, how could Ding Huan manage Shape Shifting into Qi Sha?
Ji Sixin bowed her head, feeling that Ding Huan had chosen a foolish teammate.
This battle might not necessarily have erupted; now that Ding Huan's identity was exposed, it would undoubtedly break out.
Although she knew that once they left here, Jian Zhen or Lou Poyi might suspect Ding Huan to be Qi Sha's impostor, that would be a matter for later.
Currently, they had just entered the Chaos Zone, and the good stuff hadn't been acquired yet.
If she could seize this opportunity to step into the Seventh Step, she wouldn't be as easily constrained by others.
Jian Zhen's expression became grave as he summoned his own Magical Treasure.
His Magical Treasure was rather rare, an unknown stone sphere.
Neither Jian Zhen nor Lou Poyi, upon recognizing Ding Huan as the outside impersonator of Qi Sha, informed any other Masters of the Universe.
Not to mention how many valuable items this outsider Ding Huan might possess.
That supreme black and white Dao Vein from just now, that's what they must obtain.
"Brother Ding Huan, leave Lou Poyi to me. Rest assured, this time I won't make the same mistake," Di He spoke as he stepped between Lou Poyi and Ding Huan.
At that moment, his domain swept out fiercely.
Boom!
Lou Poyi's domain wasn't fully unleashed, and when it clashed with Di He's domain, it shattered the void with fragments of laws.
Lou Poyi felt a pause in the Taoist Rhythm, and a violent aura surprisingly tore through his Protective Domain.
"Master of the Universe?"
Both Lou Poyi and Jian Zhen exclaimed in shock.
They hadn't expected that Ding Huan's companion, this red-haired man, was actually a Master of the Universe.
Jian Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly.
If Ji Sixin has a Master of the Universe on their side, he wondered if he should call for more people.
After all, the strength that Ding Huan displayed earlier was definitely not something an ordinary Sixth Step could match.
Even though they also had two at the Sixth Step, in this level of fighting, the impact of the Sixth Step was minimal.
Di He was still resentful from a few days ago when he was ambushed by King Jiang Jian, severely injured, and nearly reincarnated, making him lose face.
If it weren't for Brother Ding Huan removing King Jiang Jian's Killing Dao Rhythm for him and gifting him a drop of Cosmic Essence, he might truly have gone into reincarnation.
Therefore, this time, he unleashed his full power immediately, leaving no room for holding back or retreating.
The Red Sun above Di He's head seemed to explode, and endless Fire Attribute Laws blasted out, forming fire dragons that slammed towards Lou Poyi.
Lou Poyi had no more attention for Ding Huan, raising the Gods Hall in his hand.
In an instant, the Gods Hall transformed into a towering giant hall.
The violent killing aura was unleashed by Lou Poyi through the Gods Hall.
The fiery dragons of fire laws from the Red Sun clashed with the violent killing aura of the Gods Hall, shattering countless laws.
Numerous Flame Laws exploded, and the black killing laws of the Gods Hall were torn apart one after another.
The space surged violently, yet this space was extremely stable.
Even with both sides going all out from the start, they couldn't tear the space into cracks.
Jian Zhen's expression was extremely ugly.
In terms of strength, he couldn't compare to Lou Poyi.
From Ding Huan's earlier display and the conversation between Di He and Ding Huan, he was certain that Ding Huan was also a strong Seventh Step in the Great Dao.
If Ding Huan's strength was indeed the Seventh Step, he might get injured in this battle.
He absolutely couldn't afford to get injured, at least not at this moment.
At this moment, Jian Zhen was somewhat regretful. He should have immediately called over the other Masters of the Universe to surround and attack Ding Huan and Di He.
Although a supreme Dao Vein is good, it's not lacking here.
The Breaking Tribulation Blade in Ding Huan's hand emitted waves of killing sounds, clearly indicating his eagerness to battle against him.
Faced with Ding Huan's pressure, Jian Zhen could only unleash his domain with all his might, as the stone sphere intensely gathered momentum.
At that moment, a sudden milky white pillar burst out in the distance, a rich Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy immediately permeating over.
Even Ding Huan, upon sensing this aura, felt a surge of spirit, as if he gained a deeper comprehension of the Great Dao.
"Chaos Rule Elixir?"
Jian Zhen barely hesitated for a breath before his figure flashed, heading towards the spot where that milky white pillar erupted.
As long as he obtained the Chaos Rule Elixir, he would perfect his Seventh Step, and by then, even Lou Poyi could be easily crushed.
Of course, that wasn't the main point.
To break through to the Eighth Step of the Great Dao, he must perfect the Seventh Step, which meant perfecting the Heaven and Earth Laws of his own independent world.
And the Chaos Rule Elixir must be obtained.
Jian Zhen fled, and Ding Huan didn't acknowledge him at all.
His Breaking Tribulation Blade mercilessly cleaved through the void.
From afar, Ji Sixin observed in confusion, wondering what Ding Huan was doing?
Jian Zhen didn't escape from there…
"Ah…"
A shrill cry came, and immediately Ji Sixin saw Lou Poyi grabbing his severed arm as he vanished.
No, not just a severed arm, but nearly half his body.
Not only Ji Sixin but even Lou Poyi himself hadn't expected Ding Huan to be so unprincipled.
To actually predict that he would abandon Di He to seize the Chaos Rule Elixir, and even anticipate from which direction he would attempt to flee.
So Ding Huan struck down in advance, and Lou Poyi's escape path was directly into the trajectory of Ding Huan's blade.
Seeing Lou Poyi gravely injured and flee, Ji Sixin felt a chill down her spine.
Clearly, Ding Huan had accurately guessed Lou Poyi's intentions, and alongside Di He's Red Sun Treasure's attack space, pinpointed the direction Lou Poyi would inevitably escape.
Otherwise, this strike couldn't have been so precise and timely.
