Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 716 - 709: The Fourth Seal of Life and Death
Chapter 716: Chapter 709: The Fourth Seal of Life and Death
The Heavenly Soul Saint, who initially disregarded Ding Huan, suddenly grew solemn. With a flick of his hand, a nine-bladed saber appeared in his grip.
Ding Huan also raised a hand, and an incredibly ugly long blade inexplicably appeared in his grasp.
Although he had obtained the Void Nirvana Gold, he had yet to start upgrading his long blade.
Seeing Ding Huan’s magical treasure, even Leng Qingdie shook her head speechlessly.
One cannot discern the level of Ding Huan’s magical treasure because it was simply never completed.
Using such an unfinished magical treasure against a Saint?
The domain of the Heavenly Soul Saint slowly layered; this was the Eternal God Abyss’s Eternal God Peak. Despite being a Saint, his power here could not exhibit even a ten-thousandth of its full potential.
Yet, he wasn’t worried. What he couldn’t unleash, neither could his adversary.
Soon, however, the Heavenly Soul Saint began to feel something off. No matter how he strengthened his domain, it seemed incapable of overpowering Ding Huan.
He originally intended to trap Ding Huan gradually within his domain. Now, he realized this notion was slightly mistaken.
His domain simply couldn’t achieve it.
The nine-bladed saber in the Heavenly Soul Saint’s hand trembled slightly. Ribbons of the sword curtain materialized from nothing, slowly shrouding that corner of space.
Thick Trace God Emperor had already recovered his bearings, and he wished to join forces against the Heavenly Soul Saint, only to find himself unable to penetrate the domains of both.
Just as everyone anticipated that the Heavenly Soul Saint intended to build a sword curtain space to seal Ding Huan’s every vitality, the ugly long blade in Ding Huan’s hand suddenly swept up.
Everyone was astonished, for under the suppression of the Heavenly Soul Saint’s domain, Ding Huan should not have had the qualification to draw his blade.
Now, not only did Ding Huan draw his blade, but unlike the slowly forming maternal sword intent space of the Heavenly Soul Saint, his sword curtain appeared accompanied by a pervasive deathly aura.
Even the cultivators witnessing this could clearly feel the aura of death in Ding Huan’s sword intent.
Only the Heavenly Soul Saint’s expression changed, and though he was still within the field, he could feel a faint hint of vitality in Ding Huan’s sword intent.
But that trace of vitality wasn’t left for him.
In cultivator duels, no matter the cultivation level, one would never allow an opponent to sense any vitality in their divine communication technique.
Even if that vitality was reserved for oneself, it made no difference.
Leaving vitality in one’s divine skills and sword intent was a flaw unto itself.
The Heavenly Soul Saint knew full well that Ding Huan’s approach was bizarrely incorrect; he dared not wait any longer.
His nine-bladed saber was condensing within the killing space, and Ding Huan’s long blade was equally gathering the life and death aura.
As the killing aura gradually spread, the distant cultivators instinctively retreated.
Ji Xinguan’s face subtly changed. He assumed he could suppress Ding Huan, but now that seemed an overestimation.
Ding Huan’s collision with the killing aura of the Heavenly Soul Saint seemed not to fall into disadvantage. Could it be that Ding Huan was also a Saint?
The Dao Rhythm of the Heavenly Soul Saint surged, the nine-bladed saber suddenly exploded, locking away all vitality aura from Ding Huan.
The Nine Blades shattered the Nine Heavens, both body and soul vanished.
Under this massacre of the sword curtain, all existence, whether flesh or soul, turned to dust, ceasing to exist.
The Heavenly Soul Saint himself was also focused on Ding Huan’s concealed trace of vitality; he would not allow Ding Huan the opportunity to flee beneath his nine-bladed killing aura.
Leng Qingdie spat out a mouthful of blood, her complexion utterly pale.
Just by extending her divine will into the Heavenly Soul Saint’s killing sword curtain to observe the battle, she too was torn into shreds by the fearsome nine-bladed sword curtain.
Ji Xinguan exhaled a sigh of relief; regardless of Ding Huan’s transformation, to parley with the Heavenly Soul Saint, he was not yet qualified.
When the nine blades of the Heavenly Soul Saint exploded, no one could still sense Ding Huan’s presence.
Even if sensed, it was only fleeting.
Only the Heavenly Soul Saint could clearly perceive Ding Huan’s sword simultaneously explode, transforming into nine death blade qi.
The breath of death was so palpable, it seemed poised to envelop even him, a Saint.
Boom boom boom!
The sword curtain of the nine-bladed saber clashed with the death blade qi, Dao rhythm burst open, death energy pervaded.
The space bore an oppressiveness nearly ready to crack, everything within the death’s grip was condemned to descent.
In this killing space, all things meet descent.
The face of the Heavenly Soul Saint turned pale, sensing his nine-bladed curtain tearing apart, feeling himself descending into the space suffused with the breath of death...
No one understood the cause better than him.
He firmly believed this was Ding Huan’s newly devised divine skill, for it brimmed with endless sinking aura.
Integrating the Descent Law into one’s divine skill, the comprehension and mastery of the Descent Law was evidently superior to him, a Saint.
The Heavenly Soul Saint, who initially disdainfully dismissed Ding Huan, was truly astounded, frantically burning his essence blood, and the maternal saber Dao Rhythm exploded once more.
This time, eighteen blades of massacre charged forth.
Unfortunately, now, his realm was at most the God King Peak Realm; otherwise, he could have erupted with a hundred and eight massacre curtains.
At this moment, he dared never again consider Ding Huan a mere insignificant ant.
Ding Huan equally frantically spurred his divine essence, blasting out Dao Rhythm imprints from his hand, and the killing law within the space constantly varied.
The nine strands of death blade qi that had just torn into the Heavenly Soul Saint exploded similarly, transfiguring into eighteen death blade qi.
With the Heavenly Soul Saint as such a whetstone, it would be wasteful not to deploy the fourth seal, the Life and Death Seal, from his Reincarnation Seven Seals.
Upon deploying the fourth seal, Ding Huan seamlessly incorporated the Descent Law.
The fourth seal of the Reincarnation Seven Seals requires the Descent Law to maximize its effect.
Boom boom boom!
The Killing Dao Rhythm and Death Dao Rhythm continue to tear apart this space.
Watching from the sidelines, Leng Qingdie’s eyes showed fear.
She thought her strength wouldn’t be much weaker than Ding Huan’s. In fact, her Divine Will couldn’t even penetrate the domain space where Ding Huan and Heavenly Soul Saint were fighting.
Yet Ding Huan was evenly matched against the Heavenly Soul Saint.
If Ding Huan wanted to kill her, it probably wouldn’t take much effort.
Ji Xinguan retreated again, not because of the killing aura, but because a fear had gripped his heart.
That fear was Ding Huan’s ability to kill him, and easily at that.
Heavenly Soul Saint vomited a Blood Arrow, feeling his body growing heavier.
The Mother and Child Nine Blades kept unleashing the Child Blades’ killing Sword Curtain, but he felt totally uncertain.
He still had backup plans, but his Divine Essence and Divine Will seemed inadequate to support him in using his strongest trump card.
Heavenly Soul Saint felt his heavy body, suspecting that beneath this space, not only was there Ding Huan’s Descent Law, but also a Poison Dao Law, suggesting he might be poisoned.
Otherwise, relying solely on the Descent Law, he wouldn’t be in such dire straits.
He dared not engage in a desperate fight with Ding Huan.
Because he knew well that within this space, a Vitality Law was hidden.
Fighting desperately with Ding Huan could seriously injure or even kill him, while Ding Huan would be completely unharmed under the protection of the Vitality Law.
Such formidable Divine Skills.
Ding Huan also sensed Heavenly Soul Saint’s condition, wanting to unleash more Death Blade Light to finish him off.
But his strength didn’t allow him to do so.
Although Heavenly Soul Saint was poisoned, and his abilities were restricted by this space’s Heaven and Earth Rules, Heavenly Soul Saint was still a Saint.
His Great Dao could fend off Heavenly Soul Saint, but not suppress him.
Ding Huan considered delaying until the poison deepened in Heavenly Soul Saint.
But he quickly dismissed this thought.
Who is Heavenly Soul Saint exactly?
Persisting with him seemed advantageous superficially, but Ding Huan knew it was actually the worst outcome for him.
The Life and Death Blade Mark contained the Descent Law, a law he spent tremendous effort comprehending from the Heaven and Earth Laws.
This is the first time he’s using the Life and Death Seal from the Reincarnation Seven Seals.
If Heavenly Soul Saint withstands the hardest period, he might glean the Descent Law from Ding Huan’s Divine Skills.
Apart from it being his first use of the Life and Death Seal, there’s also the vast cultivation gap between them.
If he could unleash more Death Blade Qi, he would certainly sweep all the death aura from Eternal God Abyss, and obliterate Heavenly Soul Saint.
But this was beyond his capability.
Spectators noticed Ding Huan had the advantage, and with the upper hand, the natural course would be to drag on until finally crushing Heavenly Soul Saint.
Even Heavenly Soul Saint thought Ding Huan would continue to hold the stalemate, but Ding Huan activated the Dusk Drum.
Dao Thought struck the Dusk Drum.
Dong dong dong!
A succession of drumbeats exploded.
Although Heavenly Soul Saint’s domain weakened infinitely, the Poison Dao fissured his domain.
The drumbeats smashed into his domain.
Heavenly Soul Saint, who was frantically waving Blade Light, suddenly froze, as the Death Blade Qi in space weakened and slowly dissipated under the marks of time...
Heavenly Soul Saint felt tranquil, standing alone at the edge of Eternal God Peak, feeling the boundless Void of Eternal God Abyss.
Dong!
Another drumbeat exploded with a wave of desolate dusk and despair Dao Rhythm, instantly filling Heavenly Soul Saint’s heart and soul.
"The dusk buries the new soul, with the drum and the inefficient flesh. I send the worldly snow full upon my head, so watch, the dusk also ebbs, and the drum also ebbs!"
Heavenly Soul Saint sighed long.
Maybe he is the only one who voluntarily entered Eternal God Abyss?
No one knows he came here only for the Cosmic Essence...
But time flickered away and in mere hundreds of thousands of years, he hadn’t succeeded.
"Ow!" A poignant shriek jolted Heavenly Soul Saint awake.
Puff! A gush of blood burst from Heavenly Soul Saint’s chest.
Heavenly Soul Saint suddenly awoke, ignoring everything else. The Mother and Child Nine Blades burst, abruptly tearing apart the domain space between them.
Heavenly Soul Saint grabbed the half-body cut by Ding Huan’s Death Blade Qi and fiercely burned Essence Blood as he retreated.
Ding Huan coldly watched a black dog fall from the Void, thinking it ruined his plans.
