Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 346 - 341: Three Drumbeats, A Difficult Path

"I don't believe it…" Yi Canzhen roared crazily as he lunged toward Ding Huan.

Deep down, he believed it more than anyone else, but when he realized that his Immortal Bridge Dao Rhythm had been comprehended under someone else's Great Dao, it drove him somewhat mad.

Perhaps one could say his defenses were completely shattered.

"Wait!" Shangguan Yanzhong desperately tried to stop Yi Canzhen.

But Yi Canzhen had already hurled his Magical Treasure toward Ding Huan.

"All together!" Knowing that Yi Canzhen was not cooperating, and that they couldn't use the Three Talents Formation, Shangguan Yanzhong exchanged a glance with Elder Ku and similarly summoned his own Annihilation Sword.

Boom!

A dull sound echoed as Elder Ku and Shangguan Yanzhong were just about to rush forward, but Yi Canzhen had already flown toward them.

They saw it clearly: Ding Huan kicked Yi Canzhen in the chest, sending him flying with a spray of blood, completely defenseless.

At this moment, both Shangguan Yanzhong and Elder Ku believed that Yi Canzhen's Immortal Bridge Realm had indeed been realized under the influence of Ding Huan's Dao Principle.

Ding Huan was astutely aware of Yi Canzhen's principles. As soon as Yi Canzhen charged forward, he was bound by Ding Huan's Tao Domain.

Yi Canzhen's Domain could not shake Ding Huan's Domain at all, and naturally, he couldn't stop Ding Huan's kick.

Spitting blood, Yi Canzhen's eyes were filled with desolation.

He would rather abandon such an Immortal Bridge Realm.

Elder Ku's Fish Head Staff swirled, solidifying the space around him as formidable Daoist Rhythms in the void seemed to transform into barracudas attacking Ding Huan.

Shangguan Yanzhong knew of Ding Huan's strength. Right now, he had no time to attend to Yi Canzhen. This time, his long sword unleashed a swath of Sword Qi screens.

The Sword Qi screens worked in conjunction with Elder Ku's fish-patterned killing rhythm, rolling together toward Ding Huan.

They all knew that they couldn't be hasty in dealing with Ding Huan.

The space erupted again with crackling noises, and Ding Huan felt his Galaxy Domain begin to crack.

With a long howl, Ding Huan's Divine Will conjured a yellow flower killing blast toward Elder Ku.

"Boom!" A barracuda Dao Rhythm pattern unexpectedly collapsed.

However, the vortex of Divine Will churned by Ding Huan's yellow flower attack was shattered at that moment.

Indeed, there was some trick to it. Ding Huan paid even closer attention to that Fish Head Staff. The barracuda attacking rhythm was generated in conjunction with the staff; this Magical Treasure was quite formidable.

But Ding Huan was unconcerned. With a sweep of his hand, a huge Iron Drum appeared in the void.

Almost simultaneously with the appearance of the Iron Drum, Ding Huan's Reincarnation Spear burst out again with a billion lights.

Boom, boom, boom!

The gun lights, Sword Qi screens, and fish-patterned killing rhythms collided, sending out a horrendous killing rhythm that flattened all buildings around the square.

Seeing that his and Elder Ku's cooperative domain had blocked Ding Huan's spear, Shangguan Yanzhong's lost confidence returned.

His long sword transformed into rivers of Sword Qi, with rolling Sword Tides enveloping Ding Huan.

The domain of the Immortal Bridge was thus pushed to its limit.

Ding Huan's Divine Will transformed into two drum mallets and struck the Iron Drum.

Boom! The drum sound burst forth, striking deep into the Sea of Consciousness of Elder Ku and Shangguan Yanzhong.

Elder Ku's Fish Head Staff trembled slightly, the concentrated fish-patterned killing rhythms hesitated for a moment.

Similarly, Shangguan Yanzhong's river of Sword Qi also weakened instantly.

This drum sound gave Ding Huan an intuition that if he just refined another layer of prohibition on this Iron Drum, he could clearly control this drum.

If he continued to forsake refining the prohibitions as before, the Iron Drum might no longer be his.

Ding Huan panicked; he realized he had forgotten about refining the prohibitions of the Iron Drum.

Actually, he had had the time; most of his time was spent on cultivation and refining the iron pot, and he hadn't paid much attention to this Iron Drum.

Ding Huan did not seize this excellent opportunity to strike with the Reincarnation Spear; in his heart, he couldn't afford to lose the Iron Drum.

What of Shangguan Yanzhong and Elder Ku joining forces? At most, they would severely injure him. His gradually erupting Poison Dao Rhythm, even if it meant receiving severe injuries, would allow him to kill both men.

Biding his time posed no downside for him.

He even doubted whether the two men's so-called Immortal Bridge Realm was a sham, a fake Immortal Bridge.

However, he had never seen a real Immortal Bridge, and as for Wu Zhanxia's Immortal Bridge, it was as fake as could be.

Ding Huan's Divine Will did not continue to summon the Reincarnation Spear but instead struck the Iron Drum.

The last time Ding Huan refined this Iron Drum was in the Star Bridge Realm; now he was in the Galaxy Realm, and his Divine Will easily struck the second layer of prohibitions on the drum.

One prohibition pattern after another was captured by Ding Huan, the intricate patterns immediately beginning to dissipate under his Great Universe Technique.

Having suffered from the drum sound, with a crack forming in their Sea of Consciousness defense, and their divine abilities momentarily hesitating, Shangguan Yanzhong and Elder Ku didn't attack immediately but shifted to defense instead.

With their extensive experience, they naturally knew that what would follow this scenario was likely the opponent's most ferocious counterattack.

What shocked them was that they did not wait for Ding Huan's counterattack.

Instead, their dissipated Sword Tides and fish-patterned killing rhythms smashed directly onto Ding Huan's domain, ripping it apart.

This outcome made them greatly regretful; had they not retreated to protect themselves and continued attacking, they could have severely injured Ding Huan.

Their intentions aligned, and they once again overlaid their Immortal Bridge Domains without agreement.

Shangguan Yanzhong's Sword River was more tumultuous than before, while Elder Ku's intensified fish-patterned killing intent also increased substantially.

Both were experienced; given Ding Huan's advantage just then, his failure to counterattack undoubtedly meant he was facing some trouble.

With the frantic assault of the Circulation of the Great Universe Technique, the second layer of prohibitions on the Iron Drum was blasted open.

As the third layer of prohibitions appeared under the Circulation of the Great Universe Technique, Ding Huan decided not to continue refining. He was about to retreat when the combined attack of Shangguan Yanzhong and Elder Ku completely locked him down.

Ding Huan believed he could break through the domains of these two individuals, suffering only injuries at most.

At that moment, a deathly threat surged from behind him.

Someone was secretly hiding in this space, just for this sneak attack. And from his arrival in Boundless City until now, he had never noticed.

Ding Huan felt a chill down his spine, tingling at his scalp; he frantically threw himself into the center of the Killing Divine Ability vortex created by Shangguan Yanzhong and Elder Ku.

Watching the surging Sword River envelop Ding Huan, the array of fish-patterned Dao Rhythm killing lights directly bombarded his body.

Both Shangguan Yanzhong and Elder Ku were stunned.

Was Ding Huan seeking death?

Shouldn't he have wielded the Reincarnation Spear to counter them, then try to ring the Iron Drum again? Why would he recklessly rush into their killing vortex?

However, they were naturally pleased with this unexpected turn of events, and both individuals crazily stimulated their True Yuan.

Puff puff puff!

Blood mist sprayed from Ding Huan's body, the Sword River from Shangguan Yanzhong almost flaying him alive.

And the fish-patterned Dao Rhythm killing lights from Elder Ku cut deep, bloody gashes across Ding Huan's body, severing his bones one by one.

If not for Ding Huan's aberrant recovery abilities and his timely consumption of a few drops of the Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow, he would have been disintegrated by now.

Yet, what truly terrified Ding Huan was not these injuries but the sneak attack from behind.

The attacking force concentrated at one point, aiming to pierce through Ding Huan's back like an embroidery needle, the breath of death nearly uncontrollable.

Ding Huan promptly moved forward, his domain swirling, narrowly delaying that chilly sneak attack.

This was merely a momentary obstruction. After being severely injured by the divine abilities of Shangguan Yanzhong and Elder Ku, the oppressive, death-laden aura still reached Ding Huan's body.

Boom! Ding Huan leveraged the Great Universe Technique to wrap all the attacking Dao Rhythms onto the third layer of prohibition of the Iron Drum.

Almost simultaneously as that chilly sneak attack penetrated Ding Huan's body, he refined the third prohibition of the Iron Drum.

The words "Dusk Drum" abruptly etched into Ding Huan's consciousness.

Ding Huan had no time to ponder what "Dusk Drum" meant, as he continuously hammered upon the Dusk Drum with his Divine Will.

Leaving no way out for himself, he exhausted all his Divine Will.

This strike, it was either his death or the opponent's.

Divine Will Ability, Drum Killing!

Boom!

A drum sound exploded, as though tearing through the Star Land.

At that moment, Biankui Star Land seemed to plunge into twilight, leaving only the last moments of a waning year.

The drum sound roared into the depths of the Sea of Consciousness.

Shangguan Yanzhong spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the essence of Sword Dao injected into it scattering like a breached dam.

A dark trail of blood flowed from his mouth. He numbly looked up at the distant walls of Boundless City, suddenly feeling an urge to rush over.

Yet he couldn't move his feet, knowing full well that the drum sound had shattered his Sea of Consciousness and struck his Primordial Spirit, and also knowing the depth to which he was poisoned.

Faint lights outside the city walls flickered dimly, Shangguan Yanzhong struggling to maintain control over his body.

Alas, the high walls end sight, with lights dimmed at dusk!

Puff! He spouted another dark stream of blood, unwilling to close his eyes as he fell, still holding onto remaining techniques.

Boom!

The second drum sound, like thunder in a quiet night.

Elder Ku also halted his charge toward Ding Huan, feeling his internal organs collapsing.

Under the drum sound, his Sea of Consciousness cracked open, allowing the terrible Poison Dao Law to invade deep into his Primordial Spirit.

He looked down at the Fish Head Staff that had accompanied him for many years, exhaling a sigh.

The setting sun's feeble twilight descended, carrying a touch of desolation and sorrow.

The sun sets behind the mountains, the path is arduous!

Bang!

Three thunderous drum hits.

A figure abruptly appeared behind Ding Huan.

Seated within the Void, his hand still reaching forward, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The poison in his body was completely triggered by the three drum sounds, his Primordial Spirit gradually weakening, his vitality slowly disseminating.

Yet he couldn't believe what he saw—the desolate Boundless City, a place he once founded, now littered with corpses.

Including himself, soon to be among them.

Just a few drum sounds had annihilated his Primordial Spirit and dissipated his vitality.

Why?

A thousand drum sounds form, blades grow in the Void, just to sever the Primordial Spirit.

Black blood seeped from his orifices as he struggled to turn his gaze towards Ding Huan, nearly flayed alive:

"Who are you?"

After posing this question, he again looked up at the sky, the dying sun's rays filtering through the Killing Trap Array and falling on the lifeless Boundless City.

"The path is arduous indeed."

With those words, his head drooped, devoid of life.
