Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 515 - 508 Being Cruel to Oneself After Revision:

Standing by the Ban Ting Sea for a long time, Ding Huan finally placed Qi Xinyue's jade coffin into the deepest part of the Cosmic Pot.

That drop of his heart's blood was also placed beside Qi Xinyue by Ding Huan.

Previously, he had the gods to vent his anger on, but after destroying them, he realized just how lonely he was.

Pangu Great World was neither his homeland nor a place he should stay.

No matter what the future holds, he will leave here.

Looking at the gray mist, Ding Huan took a deep breath.

Today, as he entered the Gray Sea, if he couldn't come out, he would let himself remain here forever.

Just like back then in the vast starry sky.

Even if he couldn't get out, he wouldn't be alone.

Ding Huan no longer hesitated, controlling the Cosmic Pot to charge into the mist of the Gray Sea.

Entering the mist, the aura of death swept over him in an instant.

In just a moment, Ding Huan calculated a safe route, then controlled the Cosmic Pot to enter that route.

In fact, since Ding Huan had refined the Cosmic Pot, even if he didn't calculate a safe route, just hiding in the Cosmic Pot would prevent him from being erased by the death Dao Rhythm of the Gray Sea.

However, merely hiding in the Cosmic Pot wouldn't enable him to travel.

According to the crystal ball from the Pangu Great World, Ding Huan had a clear direction.

The Gray Sea was vast, with a terrifying death Dao Rhythm, so Ding Huan couldn't travel freely.

Luckily, he had the Direction Crystal Ball.

It took Ding Huan a full six months to see a massive vortex, which was enshrouded by restrictions, making it impossible for Divine Will to penetrate.

The sea water of the Gray Sea struck the outer edge of the vortex but was automatically repelled.

Ding Huan hesitated only for a moment before controlling the Cosmic Pot to approach the massive vortex.

To his surprise, as the Cosmic Pot neared the vortex, the death Dao Rhythm that erased everything in the Gray Sea vanished.

But it was only for an instant; the violent surges of the Gray Sea immediately swept back.

Though Ding Huan was at the late stage of the Daluo Immortal, the impact pushed him out of the vortex's perimeter, drawing him back into the Gray Sea.

This time, Ding Huan didn't control the Cosmic Pot to approach the vortex but began to analyze the restrictions surrounding the Gray Sea vortex.

At this moment, Ding Huan was relieved that he had reached the level of a ninth-level Immortal Array Emperor; otherwise, he wouldn't have been qualified to enter this natural vortex restriction.

The natural vortex restriction he faced now was clearly a ninth-level Immortal Restriction, perhaps even higher.

Luckily, he had refined the Cosmic Pot; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the time to analyze the Immortal Restriction before him.

Staying here required all his energy to fend off the death Dao Rhythm of the Gray Sea, leaving no time for anything else.

Now, with the Cosmic Pot protecting him from the erasing death Dao Rhythm, he had time to analyze the vortex Immortal Restriction.

Even as a ninth-level Immortal Array Emperor, Ding Huan spent five full days constructing over a thousand Void Array Patterns.

As the Array Patterns activated, a gap appeared in the Gray Sea vortex before him, and Ding Huan immediately controlled the Cosmic Pot to rush in.

The gap vanished, returning to its original state.

Outside, the scene was as it had been, as if no one had been there.

Ding Huan was astonished by what lay before him.

It was as if a valve had broken, with water gushing out from the ground.

The only difference was that it wasn't a broken valve, and what gushed out wasn't water but terrifying fire magma.

The fire magma spouted at least a few hundred zhang high, and the area was at least a thousand zhang wide.

Part of the fire magma was swept into the Gray Sea, while the rest fell, accumulating over time into a Fire Magma Mountain.

Fortunately, though the edges of the Fire Magma Mountain were also burning with fire, Ding Huan could stand there.

On the edges of the Fire Magma Mountain, there were scattered Fire Crystals.

Casually, Ding Huan grabbed a piece of Fire Crystal.

The Fire Crystal obviously contained a strong Fire Attribute Dao Rhythm aura, with a hint of Origin Aura.

Could this be Fire Origin Crystal?

Ding Huan thought, knowing this item was incredibly valuable outside, and here, he could collect at least a hundred pieces.

With a flick of his hand, he stored away these hundred pieces of Fire Origin Crystal.

Unfortunately, the purity of these Fire Origin Crystals wasn't high, and they lacked sufficient Origin Aura.

To call them Fire Origin Crystals was a stretch; they were merely Fire Crystals with a hint of Fire Origin Aura.

Even so, they were items that couldn't be bought with Immortal Crystals.

The Fire Origin Crystal and the Ten Million Year Fire Marrow Pool were entirely different things; the Ten Million Year Fire Marrow Pool could aid in cultivation and Artifact Refining.

The greatest advantage of the Ten Million Year Fire Marrow Pool was advancing fire attributes, but the Fire Origin Crystal was even more valuable because it contained Origin Aura, which was essential for comprehending the Dao.

Standing at the thousand-zhang perimeter of the Fire Magma, Ding Huan cautiously extended his Divine Will inside, but it was quickly burned away.

Ding Huan's expression grew heavy.

His Divine Will was refined to an extreme; if it couldn't last in the fire magma, his physical body would likely turn to ashes very quickly.

In just a moment, Ding Huan cast aside such worries.

Since he intended to burn his body and soul, there was no need to fear turning to ashes.

If he feared turning to ashes, he might as well use the Void Flames.

The Void Flames were his own flames, which couldn't burn him to death.

If there was an escape route, what was the point of burning his boats?

Moreover, he had decided not to use the Void Flames before coming here.

The Void Flames had always existed within his Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe; if they couldn't kill him, how could he be sure they could kill that existence?

The Void Flames were necessary, but their purpose was to assist him in dealing with the entity hidden within his body.

Resolute, Ding Huan began arranging various big arrays.

Inside this vortex, he also needed to set up the Trapping Immortal Array and the Soul Locking Immortal Array.

He absolutely couldn't allow that leather scroll's presence to escape.

After setting up everything, Ding Huan began arranging Defense Immortal Arrays.

Even though Ding Huan's Defense Immortal Arrays were ninth-level, in the fire magma, they only lasted ten breaths before collapsing completely.

Ten breaths couldn't accomplish anything, indicating that pure Defense Immortal Arrays were useless.

Ding Huan slowly approached the fire magma's edge.

The moment he touched it, a terrifying heat swept over him, and he immediately activated the Nirvana Technique.

He found his Nirvana Technique could withstand the terrifying fire magma at the periphery; as long as he didn't fully enter the magma, he could barely maintain balance.

He summoned the Law Flame, letting it float above his head, and chose to refine his body first.

Under such life-threatening fire magma, Ding Huan's Nirvana Technique began to perfect itself.

As Ding Huan continued to perfect the Nirvana Technique, his physique steadily strengthened.

Ding Huan even forgot he came to burn his body and soul, slowly stepping deeper into the fire magma, his body becoming more robust under the Nirvana Technique.

"Crack!" As the terrifying aura of the fire magma tore open his chest again, Ding Huan finally awakened.

Sixth layer of his Immortal Body.

Naked, feeling the fire magma scorching layer by layer, Ding Huan laughed self-deprecatingly.

Feng Huan had been burned the same way, and now he was burning himself.

The only difference was that Feng Huan was locked and burned by him, while he was burning himself voluntarily.

Ding Huan slowly closed his eyes, stopping the body refining.

"Sizzle!" The terrifying sizzling sound spread from Ding Huan's body.

His flesh was stripped away by the horrifying fire magma, layer by layer.

Like a beast being flayed, Ding Huan let out an uncontrollable low growl.

The pain was beyond words.

No matter how strong his body, it was quickly reduced to ashes by the fire magma.

It began burning his bones, his organs, and even his lungs...

Finally, the fire magma enveloped his Divine Soul.

The even more horrendous pain of being torn apart struck, making his Divine Soul tremble crazily.

Ding Huan's willpower, no matter how strong, was on the verge of collapse, if not already collapsed.

He clung to a shred of clarity.

His bones were burned layer by layer, seemingly ready to crumble into ashes at any moment.

Ding Huan entered here with the thought of possible death, so he let the terrifying flames burn every part of his body.

Including the Dao Universe in his Purple Mansion.

His Divine Soul gradually withered, on the verge of extinguishing.

His Dao Universe seemed to be dying, with the Milky Way beginning to dry up, the starry sky starting to shrink, and the Star Bridge breaking...

Ding Huan's consciousness faded.

The last shred of clarity could leave him at any moment.

Ding Huan struggled to keep himself from sinking; he knew that if he surrendered to the silence and lost that shred of clarity, his Divine Soul would be utterly annihilated.

Though he came ready to die, if there was the slightest hope, he did not want to perish.

"Ding Xiaotu, are you crazy?"

He didn't know how much time had passed when he felt an angry roar echoing from the depths of his Divine Soul, causing it to tremble. Only then did he realize he had nearly died.

In just a moment, Ding Huan woke up.

The Void Flames finally came into play, merging with the fire magma to burn his Divine Soul to ashes.

"Madman, madman…"

With each roar, a bright spot appeared deep within his Divine Soul, turning into a leather scroll.

Madly, Ding Huan enveloped the leather scroll with the Void Flames.

He then desperately activated the Nirvana Technique and the Great Universe Technique.

If he didn't cultivate and refine his body now, he would certainly turn to ashes.

Sensing Ding Huan's strong will, the Void Flames wrapped around the leather scroll, driving into the depths of the magma.

With the Nirvana Technique in action, although his body couldn't recover, his bones started to transform. The darkness faded, and Dao Rhythm began to flow.

The Milky Way in the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe finally showed signs of movement, the starry sky gained some vitality, and the Star Bridge began to restore...

Ding Huan finally gained some perception, sensing the leather scroll struggling within the depths of the fire magma, enveloped by the Void Flames.

However, he couldn't hear anything.

He knew why; he had expelled the presence from the leather scroll from his Divine Soul, preventing it from making noise in his ears.

With a resolve for death, Ding Huan told the Void, he couldn't allow the presence within the leather scroll to escape, even if it meant mutual destruction.

If he could move, he would use the most ruthless methods on that leather scroll.

The simultaneous activation of the Nirvana Technique and the Great Universe Technique finally began to show results; the Dao Rhythm around him grew clearer, and rich Immortal Spiritual Energy gathered, slowly restoring his flesh.
