Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

A spaceship was flying through the void, with three men and one woman standing on its deck.

The four were chatting about something, with worry evident in their eyes.

"Brother Han, Senior Brother Qiong, Uncle Wang, look over there..." The woman suddenly pointed in shock at a distant spot.

Before her voice had faded, a giant insect was already charging toward them.

Almost simultaneously, the three men and one woman leaped from the spaceship, summoning the magical treasures in their hands.

"Boom!"

The giant insect's foreleg sliced through the void like a sharp blade, leaving a crack in its wake.

Violent Immortal Essence exploded, blasting several magical treasures away.

Their domains were like eggshells, offering no resistance against the giant insect.

More powerful Immortal Essence force surged forward, severely injuring the three men and one woman, who were knocked back in unison. Despite their combined strength, they couldn't withstand even a casual swipe from the giant insect.

Just as despair filled their hearts, they found themselves unexpectedly spared by the giant insect, which continued its frenetic charge forward.

Before they could comprehend this, another figure rushed over, heading in the same direction as the giant insect.

One of them rubbed his eyes: "Did I see that correctly? Is that giant insect that could kill the four of us actually fleeing?"

"You saw correctly, the insect is indeed fleeing," spoke Uncle Wang.

Though answering his companion, his eyes were also wide with shock as he watched the direction in which the insect and Ding Huan disappeared.

The woman who had just returned to the spaceship seemed to have realized something and urgently said:

"Uncle Wang, such a frightening insect being hunted down by that man indicates his power has reached the pinnacle of this realm.

Should we perhaps ask him to help our Immortal Domain deal with that terrible root?"

The others had looks of yearning in their eyes.

The four of them were the pinnacle of power in their Immortal Domain.

Senior Brother Qiong was even the foremost Immortal Emperor.

Yet, despite their strength, they couldn't withstand even a single casual attack from that giant insect, which was a testament to its terrifying might.

Such a formidable giant insect, still in flight, what kind of strength must the one pursuing it possess?

"Uncle Wang, I'm certain if this senior is willing to help, our Immortal Domain's issues will be resolved effortlessly." Senior Brother Qiong also showed a look of longing in his eyes.

Not only did he hope that the senior would help address their Immortal Domain's troubles, but he also wished to learn from the senior's Taoist Skills.

The man with the surname Han, who had been silent, sighed: "Do you think we can catch up to him at this speed?"

Uncle Wang replied in frustration: "It's a pity, if only we had voiced our request earlier."

In their eyes, a powerhouse like Ding Huan, upon learning about danger in an Immortal Domain, might actually stop to help.

Ding Huan was unaware of their thoughts, and if he knew, he would only think they were overthinking it.

If he didn't kill this Insect King, he wouldn't stop for anything.

This Insect King posed too great a threat to the Demigod Star Land.

As Ding Huan perfected his Heart Escape technique, he drew closer to the Insect King.

The Insect King evidently realized it couldn't escape Ding Huan's pursuit; it charged into any Cosmic Vortex it saw.

But alas, Ding Huan's physical body was unbelievably robust, so if the vortex couldn't tear through the Insect King's body, it wouldn't hinder Ding Huan.

No matter how wildly the Insect King tried, it couldn't shake off Ding Huan.

The Insect King wanted to tear through the Boundary of the void; only by tearing through the Void Universe and entering a new domain could it hope to completely shake off Ding Huan.

But having been heavily injured twice at Ding Huan's hands, it lacked the ability to instantly tear open the Cosmic Domain.

If it delayed too long, Ding Huan would have come and dealt it a finishing blow.

In a blink, half a month passed, and when the Insect King once again crossed through a Cosmic Vortex, it was stunned.

In front of it appeared a dense network of tree roots.

Not only was the Insect King stunned, but even Ding Huan, who was chasing it, was taken aback.

He had seen many wondrous and spectacular sights in the universe; he had even seen a giant pillar diagonally inserted into the universe.

But seeing such a dense mass of tree roots in the vast void was a first for him.

The tree roots were too dense, blocking the path forward.

If the Insect King wished to continue fleeing, it would have to circumvent these roots.

By the time the Insect King circumnavigated these roots, Ding Huan had already caught up.

Realizing it had no way to escape, the Insect King finally stopped fleeing and turned to charge at Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's domain wildly expanded outward, and the long knife in his hand gathered a violent killing force in the void, striking out.

Boom! Ding Huan's domain clashed with the Insect King's, tearing the Insect King's domain apart.

Crack!

The Insect King's giant leg collided with Ding Huan's long knife, interweaving with the rhythm of the Dao.

Half of the giant leg was chopped off, and the Insect King let out a piercing wail.

Violent Immortal Essence power rebounded, and Ding Huan felt as if a colossal hammer had struck deep in his heart, almost causing him to spew a blood arrow.

At this moment, Ding Huan just felt relieved that he had sneak-attacked the Insect King earlier.

Truly, this Insect King was incredibly formidable.

A thought transmitted over: "I'm willing to recognize you as my master, as long as you spare my life."

Indeed, its intelligence wasn't low.

Ding Huan laughed heartily: "In that case, cease your resistance."

Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, the Insect King instantly retracted its domain, and Ding Huan simultaneously withdrew his.

Before the Insect King could breathe a sigh of relief, Ding Huan's long knife silently swept up a curtain of blades that sliced open the Insect King's head.

The Insect King's furious roar almost shattered that piece of the void.

It was eager to devour Ding Huan bit by bit.

This human was so untrustworthy; even though it had already given up resistance and agreed to submission, this human still attacked while it was retracting its domain.

At this moment, it completely forgot that the reason it transmitted its voice to Ding Huan for recognition was to seize the opportunity to attack Ding Huan.

But from its perspective, it could be untrustworthy, while Ding Huan could not.

The Void Flames surged forward, enveloping the Primordial Spirit of the Insect King, burning it to nothingness.

Ding Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not killing this Insect King meant he couldn't have a moment of peace.

Now that the Insect King was dead, he was reassured and could ascend to the Divine World without distractions.

After killing the Insect King, Ding Huan finally looked at the Void Tree Roots before him.

These roots were intricately tangled in the void, like the veins in the human body, densely packed in this cosmic space.

Anyone with trypophobia would find it spine-chilling.

The sudden appearance of such a dense group of roots in the vast universe was truly eerie.

Ding Huan's Divine Will landed on these roots, detecting life force and the flow of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Moreover, there were abundant Taoist Rhythms circulating.

His Divine Will continued to permeate but was blocked by invisible forces.

Ding Huan did not withdraw his Divine Will, continuing to observe these Void Tree Roots.

These Void Tree Roots felt somewhat familiar to him.

Ding Huan quickly recalled.

It was the Ascension Tree Root of the Ascension Land on the Divine Star of the God Tribe.

At first, Ding Huan thought that Ascension Tree Root was big enough.

Only now did he realize that compared to this root, it was not even a drop in the ocean.

The part of the root system he could see now was just a small portion.

Ding Huan felt that this thing had an inevitable connection with the God.

He reached out to touch the root.

As soon as his hand touched the root, a strong Daoist Rhythm aura enveloped the space around him.

In the next moment, dozens of fine tendrils extended out, blocking all of Ding Huan's escape routes.

These tendrils were trying to pierce into his flesh, siphoning his Essence Blood...

Ding Huan was furious, and the Void Flames surged wildly.

With a "boom!" the flames erupted, causing the roots around him to retreat instantly.

To Ding Huan's astonishment, the Void Flames couldn't completely burn away these roots.

How resilient!

Ding Huan swung his long knife, severing thousands of fine roots in his strike.

Numerous tendrils lunged toward him again.

With a sweep of his long knife, more tendrils stretched out after the initial ones were severed.

Ding Huan felt a weight in his heart; he did not fear these tendrils, but a common cultivator encountering them might be drained completely.

Not everyone had his domain, physical strength, and the Void Flames.

The Void Flames surged fiercely, and in the next instant, the space around Ding Huan crackled with the sound of burning.

The roots retreated madly.

Ding Huan ceased the burning.

There was no hint of joy, only more caution toward these roots.

This was no good thing.

While in contact with the roots, he discovered that the roots not only absorbed Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, Essence Blood, and life force, but also heaven's fortune.

This harmful entity was extremely terrifying.

To drive away these roots, dealing with them here was impossible.

It required either starting from the source or attacking from the root's base.

Ding Huan followed the roots downward.

Initially, Ding Huan only wanted to find out where exactly the base of the root was.

As he continued, his unease grew.

Because the roots also traversed many Cosmic Vortexes.

Such terrifying vortex forces of the Cosmic Vortex couldn't prevent these roots from growing normally.

If this thing wasn't man-made, Ding Huan wouldn't believe it.

What strength must one have to cultivate such massive roots?

He just hoped that entity couldn't reach the Immortal Realm.

Ding Huan kept tracing the roots downward.

After another half-month, Ding Huan stopped.

He saw the base of the roots.

The vast root system stretched across the void, its dense and endless scene just like a barren hill recently cut of brushwood.

The stubs of brushwood roots continued to extend, and as Ding Huan surveyed with his Divine Will, he saw an expansive, verdant planet.

It was obvious that if these roots continued to grow, this planet would turn into dust.

Without discussing the presence of a Life Planet here, even if it weren't there, Ding Huan wouldn't allow these roots to continue growing.

But how could he completely eradicate these roots?

As Ding Huan observed the Void Tree Roots and the green planet on the edge of his Divine Will, he noticed a spaceship rapidly approaching.
