Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 486 - 479 I am the Heavenly Emperor
Ding Huan was about to deploy his iron pot when a swarm of Immortal Demon Beasts sensed his presence and crazily surged towards him.
The previously desolate wilderness quickly filled with dark lines.
At that moment, Ding Huan could have easily escaped with his iron pot, as the Immortal Demon Beasts were no match for him.
However, Ding Huan wanted to test the effects of his Soul Devouring Ring absorbing Divine Souls.
He straightforwardly set up a Strangulation Array and then deployed the Reincarnation Spear.
In just a short time, the Immortal Demon Beasts rushed into the Strangulation Array.
A mix of beastly roars and flying blood mingled together, making even Ding Huan's scalp tingle.
These Immortal Demon Beasts recklessly charged toward him without regard for their lives.
In just a short time, the Sixth-level Strangulation Immortal Array he had set up was torn apart.
It wasn't torn apart by brute force or breaking the Array, but rather by piling up corpses.
Ding Huan deployed the Reincarnation Spear and as the gun light exploded, the nearby Immortal Demon Beasts burst into clouds of blood mist.
The explosion of blood mist further incited the ferocity of the Immortal Demon Beasts, making them rush even more crazily toward Ding Huan.
In just a short time, where Ding Huan looked almost became void of light, as the space was completely obscured by these Immortal Demon Beasts.
He felt he might have made a mistake as these Immortal Demon Beasts gathered faster than he had anticipated.
Not only were there various flying Immortal Demon Beasts in the sky, but even underground swarmed clusters of them. With Ding Huan's position, any slight mishap would reduce him to dust without any remains.
The gun light emitted from the Reincarnation Spear continuously swept away swathes of Immortal Demon Beasts, which when falling piled up into mountains.
Ding Huan stood atop heaps of Immortal Demon Beast corpses, but still, more crazily surged toward him from afar.
At this moment, Ding Huan felt he might have been a bit harsh on Jimi, the Commander of the Immortal Demon Battlefield; it simply seemed endless and impossible to slaughter them all.
No matter how many Human Clan Cultivators there were, even if it were an army of millions, they were far outnumbered by these Immortal Demon Beasts.
Most of these Immortal Demon Beasts were between first-level and third-level, with a few fourth and fifth-level.
If it were any other cultivator instead of Ding Huan, they would have been devoured to the bone by these beasts.
Ding Huan knew if he continued like this, he could kill for months and still not escape.
Because the further he went, the more Immortal Demon Beasts there were and the appearance of stronger ones would put him in danger.
His Divine Will scanned the area, confirming there were no cultivators nearby.
Ding Huan circulated the Dao Rhythm around him and immediately disseminated waves of Poison Dao Rhythm from himself as the center.
At this moment, Ding Huan was the center of the Poison Dao Rhythm; endless waves of Poison Dao Rules fluctuated in space.
Ding Huan's cultivation technique integrated the All Things Principle. Though he hadn't specifically integrated Poison Dao Laws during his cultivation, in the vast universe, Poison Laws were everywhere.
Thus, Ding Huan didn't need to actively absorb these Poison Dao Laws; he could selectively combine them during cultivation.
Now in the early stages of the Da Yi Immortal, because he hadn't specially integrated higher-level poison laws, killing fourth and even fifth-level or lower Immortal Demon Beasts was still easy.
Heaps of Immortal Demon Beasts fell, forming a chain reaction that spread far and wide like mowing wheat...
Ding Huan's surroundings instantly cleared.
A few fifth-level and some isolated sixth-level Immortal Demon Beasts charging from afar were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Poison Dao Laws seeped in; even though these were sixth-level Immortal Demon Beasts, they couldn't be poisoned immediately and stood there trembling.
Ding Huan naturally did not hold back; his Reincarnation Spear spun up swathes of gun light, reaping those thrown Immortal Demon Beasts that hadn't been poisoned yet.
The Immortal Demon Beasts in the back sensed the danger and prepared to retreat. Right then, they were hit by Ding Huan's Poison Dao Laws, and another large group died.
Even further away, Immortal Demon Beasts no longer dared to come forward, turning around to flee.
In just a blink of an eye, under Ding Huan's Divine Will, no living Immortal Demon Beast remained.
Ding Huan's Divine Will scanned out, just as when he had first emerged from underground; there were no cultivators or demon auras.
His Divine Will touched upon the sprawling corpses of Immortal Demon Beasts, and Ding Huan couldn't help feeling that his cultivation was still a bit too weak.
If his cultivation were stronger, or if he had reached the Immortal King Realm, even those distant Immortal Demon Beasts wouldn't think of escaping.
But he couldn't stay here any longer. All these Immortal Demon Beasts were below seventh-level. If any above seventh-level came along, he'd be in danger.
It was only a matter of time before higher-level Immortal Demon Beasts, such as the seventh-level or even the eighth-level Demon Emperor, arrived due to the sheer number of low-level Immortal Demon Beasts killed here.
His Divine Will fell on the Soul Devouring Ring, which looked the same as before on the surface.
Yet, Ding Huan clearly sensed all spatial fluctuations through the Soul Devouring Ring. The spatial laws fluctuating inside the World Ring were clearer and denser.
Indeed, he could sense the Boundary nodes and weaknesses, although still vague—probably because the Souls devoured by his Soul Devouring Ring were too few.
He had slain countless Immortal Demon Beasts just now, but to the Soul Devouring Ring, it still wasn't enough.
Moreover, the slain Immortal Demon Beasts were mostly lower-level ones.
He decided to leave the area before being blocked by higher-level Immortal Demon Beasts.
Ding Huan was about to conjure his iron pot when his Divine Will suddenly caught a hint of Dao Rhythm fluctuation.
Ding Huan's gaze fell on a dried-up swamp dozens of miles away from him, and after scanning it a few more times with his Divine Will, he was sure he wasn't mistaken—there was indeed a Dao Rhythm fluctuation.
This fluctuation was just like the one he encountered while refining the Nirvana Realm Ring underground.
Was someone hiding in this dried-up swamp cultivating or refining something just like he was?
Ding Huan landed in the swamp, tossing down dozens of Array Flags.
Soon, Ding Huan upturned the swamp, and a space appeared before him.
As expected, someone was hiding here.
It was a man of short stature, who even looked somewhat frail.
When Ding Huan's gaze landed on him, his eyes immediately narrowed.
Was this an Immortal Emperor?
Scanning again with his Divine Will, Ding Huan confirmed that he had not seen wrong; this was definitely an Immortal Emperor, perhaps even a powerhouse exceeding the realm of the Immortal Emperor.
However, the man was gravely injured at the moment, unable to even counter or warn Ding Huan despite knowing he was being observed.
The reason he got exposed was because of his Poison Dao Law, which also affected the other party.
A series of frenzied whimpers echoed; Ding Huan knew if he didn't leave soon, he might not be able to escape at all.
It seemed that Immortal Demon Beasts of level seven or higher were approaching.
Taking a deep breath, Ding Huan raised his hand and enveloped the frail man into his iron pot, which tore through space in an instant and sped away.
An hour later, Ding Huan halted.
The man he had brought into the iron pot was still healing.
But his injuries were too severe, and although his cultivation was strong enough for such a healing method, how long it would take for him to recover remained a question for the ages.
Casually setting up a healing Immortal Array, Ding Huan placed his hand on the man's forehead.
Operating the Great Universe Technique, and within just a dozen cycles, when Ding Huan removed his hand, the frail man was already able to open his eyes.
"Thank you," he muttered with cracked lips, struggling to utter the words.
Ding Huan did not respond as he was engaged in employing the Big Calculation Skill.
The man was clearly badly injured during a battle with Immortal Demon Beasts. On the surface, his injury seemed manageable, but in reality, his Great Dao was already blotched, and his Purple Mansion was on the verge of shattering.
Such heavy damage to the Great Dao Rhythm was even more severe than tears in the Purple Mansion or meridians, practically incurable.
Thus, although the man had started to speak, he probably knew he was beyond saving.
"Your cultivation is low, but your future is promising. Before I die, there are a few words I want to share with you."
The man stopped his healing and looked at Ding Huan with difficulty as he spoke.
Ding Huan was inwardly thrilled; after advancing to Da Yi Immortal, he could feel his future in the predictions of a formidable Immortal Emperor.
Though a bit fuzzy, it was better than the complete blankness before.
According to his calculations, he was safe, and the man before him could be saved.
It seemed that in this part of the universe, only his Great Universe Technique could possibly heal such damaged Great Dao. Unhurried, Ding Huan simply nodded and said, "Speak."
"Your Cultivation Technique is incredible. Have you been to Immortal Court?" the man asked.
Ding Huan nodded, "I have been there."
The man shook his head, "Don't go there again ever. If anyone discovers you practice the Tao Technique, you won't stand a chance of surviving."
Ding Huan remained noncommittal, fully aware of his actions, similar to how he used the Great Universe Technique to restore this man's ability to speak, measured and deliberate.
First, this man got himself severely injured while defending the Great Immortal Domain against Immortal Demons. Secondly, Ding Huan did not sense any malice from him, and his Prediction Technique had also not indicated any danger to himself.

Of course, most importantly, the man couldn't harm him even if he bore any ill will.
"You should be aware of the Four Great Emperors and the Heavenly Emperor in Heavenly Court," said the man.
Ding Huan nodded.
The man gave a self-deprecating smile, "Then do you know who the Heavenly Emperor is?"
"Emperor Wushang," Ding Huan answered.
The Heavenly Emperor was Emperor Wushang, something that was common knowledge in the Great Immortal Domain or the Immortal Court.
The man said with a sneer, "The position of the Heavenly Emperor was supposed to be mine. They conspired against me, and only then was it seized by Wushang."
"You?" Ding Huan sized up the frail man before him. Although the man's cultivation before his injuries might have qualified him to be the Heavenly Emperor, he seemed a world apart from a Heavenly Emperor now.
Taking a deep breath and slowing his tone even further, the man said, "My name is Xing Pan. Back then, the Immortal Domain had Five Great Emperors: Jin He, Ping Wei, Wu Kong, Du Xing, and me, Xing Pan.
The Heavenly Emperor was also originally to emerge from these Five Great Emperors. Do you know why they ended up choosing Wushang, who was not one of the Five Great Emperors?"
"Why?" Ding Huan asked without thinking.
Xing Pan answered, "Because they never regarded the Human Clan Cultivators of the Great Immortal Domain as real lives; in their eyes, the cultivators of the Great Immortal Domain and the Immortal Sect were merely there to defend the Immortal Court."
