Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 583 - 576 Powerful Insects

The Cosmic Pot had yet to hit the ground when countless Stealing Immortal Worms started falling.

Then, like waves, they cascaded down in an undulating manner.

Ji Xing and the others were stunned. What kind of Divine Skill was this?

The teacher clearly had not extended his field or activated any skill, yet these Demon Insects were all falling from near to far, as if by agreement.

An extreme sense of crisis surged up, Ding Huan's mind shuddered.

"Brother Ji, quickly set up the Trapping and Killing Divine Array..."

After Ding Huan uttered this line, he had already summoned the Reincarnation Spear.

Almost as soon as Ding Huan summoned the Reincarnation Spear, a towering blade descended.

That blade light, nearly ten thousand feet in length, gave the impression that it could slice the Star Land in half.

The aura of death instantly sealed off the area, Ji Xing and the others turned pale.

Although the terrifying long blade had yet to fall, the crushing killing intent was already making them bleed at the corners of their mouths, and their Dantian seemed on the verge of collapse.

Ding Huan's Reincarnation Spear similarly unleashed a killing storm, and he swung it forward.

In such a hurried attack, he didn't even have time to summon the Dao Rhythm of Divine Skills.

Boom!

Crack!

Ding Huan spat out a blood arrow.

The Reincarnation Spear shattered.

Ding Huan's bones fractured inch by inch, and he was smashed from the Void to the ground, creating a deep gorge hundreds of feet long.

Blood kept spewing from his mouth, unable to retaliate.

This strength definitely surpassed Jie Kuangren, likely exceeding the Immortal Emperor level.

Ji Luo, experienced and seasoned, instead of rescuing Ding Huan, continued to throw out Array Flags.

In just a short time, he had set up a three-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array.

Ding Huan desperately ran the Great Universe Technique, trying to get back up.

But his Dantian was already cracked from the impact.

Had he not possessed Starry Sea of Consciousness, his Sea of Consciousness would have also been fractured.

Threads appeared in the Void, showing even the Void had been scored by the collision.

Before Ding Huan could stand again, the violent and terrifying killing intent came roaring down.

Trembling, Ding Huan stood up again, unleashing the Bone Devouring Poison.

He guessed his Genetic Slaughter Law wouldn't defeat the Insect King here quickly, and hadn't expected the Insect King to be so formidable.

Boom boom boom!

Roaring sounds exploded in the Void, and Ji Luo's three-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array finally activated.

Ding Huan focused on healing.

At this moment, he realized the trapped being was a giant Stealing Immortal Worm.

In Ding Huan's ring was a Stealing Immortal Worm about one foot long, which he'd considered colossal.

But the current Stealing Immortal Worm, whose foot blade alone was a hundred feet, had an aura close to ten thousand feet.

The inch-long Stealing Immortal Worm in his ring seemed tiny compared to this one.

Such a dreadful attack, had his body not been durable, he'd have shattered instantly.

Had his body collapsed, Ji Xing and the others he protected would likely have been obliterated.

Crack crack!

Another series of cracking sounds echoed.

Ding Huan watched Ji Luo fortifying the Divine Array with Array Flags, deeply shocked.

This was a Divine Array, yet the hundred-foot-tall Stealing Immortal Worm was tearing it apart.

Even under the influence of his Genetic Slaughter Law and Bone Devouring Poison, the worm's body had been infiltrated.

Otherwise, they'd have no chance to counter or escape.

Ding Huan quickly grabbed the Half-God Veins, integrating them into the Divine Array, and summoned a long blade, unleashing his Immortal Essence without reservation.

With the Half-God Veins planted, Ji Luo's three-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array stabilized.

No matter how strong the Stealing Immortal Worm was, it was bound by the Immortal Realm's rules here.

Ding Huan's long blade drew a fierce blade curtain, slashing at the worm's back.

Sensing Ding Huan's attack, despite resisting Ji Luo's array, it swung a foot blade.

Crack!

A grayish-brown blood mist exploded, Ding Huan's blade broke once again.

This time, however, the worm also suffered—its foot blade severed, falling to the ground.

Ding Huan was again repelled violently, crashing down.

His injuries compounded, worsening his condition.

Despite his injuries, Ding Huan felt joy, sensing the worm's strength diminish.

His Genetic Slaughter Law and Poison Dao Law were effective.

If he could keep fighting, he was sure to kill the worm.

But, he needed more healing.

To regain combat ability, he'd need at least ten breaths of time.

The worm realized the dire situation, sensing its weakening breath.

A destructive Dao Rhythm Law and a Poison Dao Law ravaged its body.

If it remained, it would be finished...it had to flee.

The worm tore at the Void, desperate to escape, no longer attacking the array.

Even Ji Luo was alarmed, the worm managed to rip a tiny seam in the Void.

Cracks formed under Immortal Essence assaults, but a seam was different.

This worm had to be stopped.

Despite not being fully recovered, Ding Huan burned his Essence Blood, grabbing the Fei Yan Sword, charging the worm.

Fei Yan Sword unleashed a gray-brilliance blade light.

Splat! Grayish-brown blood exploded, Fei Yan Sword severed part of the worm's tail and two foot blades.

Bang! When Ding Huan was slammed underground for the third time, the worm vanished into the Void seam.

"Brother Ji, how did this thing tear the Void?" Ding Huan lay on the ground, mouth bleeding, puzzled by the worm's escape.

The trapped space should have prevented tearing without first breaking the array.

"My Array wasn't properly set, it had flaws." Ji Luo admitted, feeling ashamed.

He underestimated the worm, overestimated his Divine Array.

Ding Huan didn't press the matter. It wasn't Ji Luo's fault.

With a fraction of his former strength, flaws were inevitable.

Without Ji Luo's help, Ding Huan might have died under the worm's foot blade.

The worm was too terrifying, no wonder Jie Kuangren had retreated; facing such a worm, Jie Kuangren's defeat was normal.

Winning would be abnormal.

Against such attacks, numbers were meaningless.

Ding Huan managed to repel the worm thanks to his Genetic Slaughter Law and Bone Devouring Poison.

But the key factor was Ji Luo's three-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array.

"Teacher..." Ji Xing and the others finally recovered, coming forward to check on Ding Huan.

Ding Huan waved, "No worries. Now there's no threat here, you can gather Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Focus on those for body and Primordial Spirit recovery. Don't miss the Half-God Veins. When done, come find me. I'll choose a spot to cultivate and recover."

The area had been occupied by the worm for years, without destroying the treasures.

Without gathering now, they'll be snatched by incoming cultivators.

"Yes." Ji Xing and the group responded, then scattered to search.

Ding Huan stayed for over an hour before retrieving the Half-God Veins and heading to the worm's lair.

Half a day later, Ding Huan stood by a large lake, sensing thick Primordial Energy.

"Brother Ji, this spot should be good for body recovery. There must be more than one Half-God Vein."

Ding Huan's Divine Will had already scanned the area, spotting multiple Half-God Veins and a perfect Double Leaf Immortal Reeds.

Double Leaf Immortal Reeds were top recovery materials, as good as Nine-Colored Void Lotus.

Crucially, for body refining, Double Leaf Immortal Reeds were supreme—better than any Immortal Material.

"Haha, thank you, brother. I'm very satisfied with this spot." Ji Luo was genuinely pleased.

Ding Huan pulled out the Nine-Colored Void Lotus, then handed Ji Luo an earthen jar.

Ji Luo knew about the Nine-Colored Void Lotus but was curious about the jar.

Seeing Ji Luo's confusion, Ding Huan explained, "Inside the jar is some soil. Take a look."

Removing the jar's seal, Ji Luo's Divine Will scanned it.

Seeing the faint purple soil, Ji Luo exclaimed, "Is this Condensing Treasure Soil?"

"Yes, rumored to form Treasure Split Cliff soil. This is from under Treasure Split Cliff. Thought it might help your body refining."

"Haha, more than helpful, it's wonderful. Don't worry, brother, once I recover, I'll assist you in the Universe."

Ji Luo eagerly grabbed the items to begin body recovery.

Ding Huan started setting up the Protecting Array.

Ji Luo's boasting about helping in the Universe was ignored by Ding Huan.

Ji Luo was skilled in boasting, but his strength was mediocre.

Who knew who would depend on whom?

Ji Luo's Array skills were higher, but with his body unrecovered, his Protecting Array setup was flawed. Ding Huan preferred his own nine-level Defense Immortal Array.

After a day, Ding Huan put away the Double Leaf Immortal Reeds and began healing.

Though he appeared fine, his battle with the worm had heavily injured him.

Alien Insect Star Land...

Or rather, it should be called Half-God Star Land now.

All across Half-God Star Land, Stealing Immortal Worms continued dying like waves.

Some sensed danger and tried fleeing but couldn't escape, dying before leaving the Half-God Star Land.

Ji Xing and the team crazily collected top Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
