Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 484 - 477: Great Collapse of the Battlefield
Ding Huan was very satisfied as he stored away the unused Immortal Spirit Vein and continued towards the Chaos Zone with the iron pot.
Next time he went to the Immortal Court, he must advance to the Immortal King Realm.
By the time he reached the Immortal King Realm, he supposed those Daoist Lords and Star Lords should no longer be able to trouble him.
The iron pot had only been moving for half a day when Ding Huan stopped again.
In his Divine Will, a fat monk was fiercely battling two Demon Beasts, both of which seemed to be at the seventh level of Immortal Demon.
Although the two Demon Beasts were humanoid, one of them had huge horns. The other had no horns, but its demonic aura was unmistakable at a glance.
Qian Lou the monk?
Ding Huan thought to himself, this guy really was a persistent nuisance, always appearing on his path.
Looking at the plight of the fat monk, he was clearly at a disadvantage.
Ding Huan put away the iron pot. His Divine Will was powerful and detected Qian Lou and the two Demon Beasts amidst battle, who might not know of his arrival.
Initially, Ding Huan wanted to wait, to see if the two Demon Beasts and Qian Lou would wound each other grievously, perhaps creating a chance for him to benefit as the opportunist.
The Demon Cores of seventh-level Immortal Demons were rare treasures.
Unexpectedly, when he extended his Divine Will again, he felt a chilling sensation.
At the edge of his Divine Will, countless cultivators were charging in this direction.
And behind these cultivators, there were millions of Demon Beasts.
The mass of Demon Beasts was dense and uncountable, stretching endlessly; his Divine Will could not reach the borders, naturally making them impossible to count.
Ding Huan hurriedly took out the Pangu Great World's terrain crystal ball, scanned it with his Divine Will, and indeed found that this area was not that far from the Immortal Demon Battlefield.
Ding Huan sighed in resignation. It seemed that Jimi wasn't as effective as his brags at the Immortal Court suggested.
These swarms of Immortal Demon Beasts coming over clearly indicated that the Immortal Demon Battlefield had been breached.
Once the Immortal Demon Battlefield was breached, the Great Immortal Domain would never have peace again.
It was said that the Immortal Demon Beasts had coveted the Ancient Immortal Domain for some time, and this influx toward this prime cultivation land was surely targeted.
Now he had not yet seen the Immortal Demon Emperor, but he surmised he would arrive soon.
It seemed there was no way to reach the Chaos Zone; with this path swarming with Immortal Demon Beasts, he would have to fight his way through.
Ding Huan looked at Qian Lou, who was still embroiled in battle with the two Immortal Demon Beasts, and thought to himself, "May this bald donkey live a few more days."
Facing such a terrifying group of Immortal Demon Beasts, engaging them was tantamount to suicide. It was better to retreat.
Ding Huan's Divine Will landed on the Pangu Great World direction crystal ball he held, and after hesitating for a long time, he decided to detour through the Demon Domain.
Entering the Demon Domain was not too difficult; he could simply mimic the essence of a Demon Practitioner if necessary.
Ding Huan decisively deployed the iron pot and changed direction.
He needed to hasten his pace to escape before the endless army of Immortal Demon Beasts surrounded him.
This time Ding Huan only traveled for a day before stopping.
He felt there was no need to enter the Demon Domain; if he was not mistaken, the Immortal Demon Battlefield might also be spiraling out of control now.
Not only the Immortal Demon Battlefield, but the Immortal God Battlefield, including the battles involving both the Immortal Court and the Dragon Court, could also become unmanageable.
The fierce battle between the Immortal Court and the Demon Court probably ended in defeat; otherwise, such a massive surge of Immortal Demon Beasts across the Great Immortal Domain wouldn't have occurred.
Since the battle between the Immortal Court and the Demon Court resulted in failure, it was only a matter of time before the battles involving the Immortal Court against the Demon Court, Divine Court, and Dragon Court would meet the same fate.
Even if they had not failed yet, by the time he arrived, a complete collapse might occur.
Ding Huan had previously witnessed these alien clans looting amidst chaos.

The Immortal Court was already severely weakened(statearr); once this balance was broken, the remaining major races teamed up to attack, and the Immortal Court, no matter how strong, could not fend them off.
He did not need Big Calculation Skills to predict the outcome.
It wouldn't be long before the entire Great Immortal Domain became dominated by various races.
Even the races from the Chaos Zone would come forward to claim their share.
Perhaps in many years, the part of the Great Immortal Domain he was in would turn into a new Chaos Zone.
The Immortal Court members surely wouldn't risk their lives to aid the Great Immortal Domain. The only thing they would probably do is strive to strengthen the Defense Immortal Array to protect their turf.
The Great Immortal Domain was no longer safe; this place would soon be overrun by chaos.
Return to the Immortal Court?
Ding Huan immediately dismissed the idea.
He didn't need to look to know that the protective arrays of the Immortal Court were fortified one after another; those defeated cultivators, undoubtedly, had entered the Immortal Court in an attempt to defend its entrance.
Ding Huan sighed, realizing that his only option was to enter the battlefield.
To do so, he needed first to refine the Soul Devouring Ring on his body.
Otherwise, killing a horde of alien clans would be a waste of Divine Souls.
Ding Huan glanced around; this area was the periphery of the forsaken lands of the Immortal Domain.
The army of Immortal Demon Beasts wouldn't take long to reach this place.
If he retreated, once the other races breached the defenses of the Immortal Court, they too would reach the Great Immortal Domain.
Ding Huan hadn't considered this issue before.
Now, facing this problem himself, he realized that the position of the Great Immortal Domain seemed quite precarious.
The entire Great Immortal Domain seemed to be surrounded by the major races.
On the surface, the Great Immortal Domain had secured the best territory.
In reality, it was like the Great Immortal Domain was enveloped by these races.
The Pangu Great World's territories, who on earth allocated them to form such a terrain? Is this normal?
Ding Huan soon realized this was definitely not normal.
Because the Immortal Court was not surrounded by the many alien clan zones.
It was very likely that the Immortal Court had discovered there was something wrong with the Great Immortal Domain's location, and thus, it had separately created the Immortal Court and isolated it from the Great Immortal Domain.
Ding Huan didn't want to continue pondering; he had stayed in the Immortal Court and knew the dirty dealings inside.
First, he had to refine the Soul Devouring Ring. Once his cultivation was no longer afraid of the Great Emperors and Lord Taoists, he would search for Chi Feitao, who claimed to have knowledge about the Nine Heavens.
Now, finding a safe place to seclude himself for a period was indeed challenging.
His only choice was to burrow underground.
Ding Huan pulled out an Earth Jutsu Talisman and began to descend.
A day later, Ding Huan stopped and then set up a Concealing Immortal Array.
With a simple Concealing Immortal Array set up, Ding Huan hurriedly took out the Soul Devouring Ring to refine it.
Previously, he had refined up to the Ninety Layers of Restriction, and the ring's restrictions consisted of one hundred and eight layers.
Now that his cultivation had reached the Da Yi Immortal Realm, he assumed that refining this World Ring would pose no issue.
Indeed, with Ding Huan's increased strength, the speed of refining the Soul Devouring Ring indeed became faster.
In just one day, he refined the ninety-first layer of restriction.
Having only refined one layer of restriction, Ding Huan did not continue but instead stopped.
He had a bad premonition, unreasonably so.
The Big Calculation Skill predicted for a long time but resulted in nothing.
The lack of results could possibly be due to his insufficient cultivation level, unable to predict higher law affairs. Or perhaps there indeed was no result.
With that in mind, Ding Huan hurriedly set up a Killing Trap Array and a Strangling Array.
After setting up one layer with Array Flags, he felt it was not secure enough, so he set up another layer using the Void Array Patterns.
Having studied Array Dao for some time after breaking the natural prohibitions of the Fire Marrow Pool, his understanding of the various Law changes in Dao Rhythms had now nearly reached the level of a seventh-level Immortal Array King.
After two layers of defensive arrays and Killing Arrays were set up, Ding Huan also established a Soul-locking Array.
He was concerned that if there truly was a powerful Primordial Soul in the Soul Devouring Ring, it must not be allowed to escape.
With so many Immortal Arrays stacked together, Ding Huan still felt it wasn't enough; he also set up a Fire Law Binding Array.
He couldn't set up any other Law Arrays, but the Fire Law was the only Law he had touched.
Finally, he could continue refining the Soul Devouring Ring with peace of mind.
Five days later, Ding Huan had refined the Soul Devouring Ring up to the ninety-third layer of restriction.
Ninety-four, ninety-five…
Approaching the end of the month, Ding Huan had refined the ring up to the one hundred and seventh layer of restriction, and his unease grew stronger.
Something was off.
He had set defensive arrays and put so much caution into it; why still feel uneasy?
After hesitating, Ding Huan conjured up an iron pot before continuing to refine the one hundred and seventh layer of restriction.
Better safe than sorry, an extra defense always doesn't hurt.
As a light cracking sound echoed, Ding Huan knew he had refined the one hundred and seventh layer of restriction of the Soul Devouring Ring.
It seemed quite normal, was he overthinking?
If there was an issue, it would likely be with the very last restriction.
Just as Ding Huan was about to continue refining, an intensely cold terror unexpectedly swept through.
Even with the iron pot blocking, Ding Huan still felt the touch of death.
At that moment, Ding Huan could only frantically execute his Body Refining Techniques.
He could even distinctly sense his physical body momentarily vanishing, as if turning into nothingness.
Such extreme cold could probably instantly defeat even an Immortal Emperor. No, it would definitely defeat them.
With each cycle of his Body Refining Techniques, the deathly aura weakened slightly.
At this moment, Ding Huan's mind went blank.
As the cycles of his Body Refining Techniques continued, the deathly aura finally started to vanish from Ding Huan's consciousness.
He once again felt his bodily existence and that he was still alive.
From within came sounds of sinews and bones restructuring; Ding Huan took a deep breath, his body advancing to a new level.
As the cold aura continued to wane, Ding Huan's Body Refining Techniques opened up several more cycles.
That was close.
Ding Huan inwardly shuddered and did not dare to continue refining the one hundred and eighth layer of restriction.
That level of extreme cold that could instantaneously defeat even an Immortal Emperor—if he hadn't first used the iron pot to block it, if it hadn't been for his Body Refining Techniques…
He wouldn't just have failed to survive; not even a speck of his bones would exist.
His Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe would have also turned into nothingness in an instant.
Touching the iron pot, still extremely cold, Ding Huan felt grateful for his caution.
Just as Ding Huan was feeling relieved, a subtle, almost imperceptible shadow directly charged into the depths of Ding Huan's Sea of Consciousness.
Possession?
