Lu Yuan’s twin dry shovels were also summoned, tearing a faint trace through the air and slashing towards Ding Huan.
Lu Yuan was very confident in his twin dry shovels.
In his eyes, the twin dry shovels would easily tear through Ding Huan’s spear curtain and then blast Ding Huan away.
As for killing Ding Huan, he hadn’t even considered it.
Because he knew he couldn’t.
Ding Huan would surely retreat into the Killing Trap Array of Purple Garden Mountain, and once Ding Huan retreated, Lu Yuan wouldn’t dare to pursue.
Even though he was in the Void God Realm, once trapped by a Level Six Killing Trap Array, he would be on a path to certain death.
He didn’t care; if Ding Huan were so easily killed, he wouldn’t have achieved what he had today.
However, when Lu Yuan’s twin dry shovels hit Ding Huan’s spear curtain, his expression changed.
Ding Huan’s spear curtain was as solid as reality, and he faintly felt that if he lingered for even a moment longer, he would be locked by the opponent’s Killing Space.
Hurry and leave, Lu Yuan had just thought those three words when his Divine Power Domain was suddenly torn by a vortex of killing intent. The next moment, the twin dry shovels seemed to lose their source, and he couldn’t even control them.
Lu Yuan’s history was marked with countless killings, and he was extremely careful with his own life.
At that moment, he decisively abandoned his twin dry shovels, frantically burned Essence Blood, and executed an Escape Technique.
"Pfft!" Even though Lu Yuan fled quickly, Ding Huan’s Separation Spear still left a deep bloody gash on his back.
Lu Yuan also took advantage of this to escape the range of Ding Huan’s Killing Domain, instantly retreating far away.
Ding Huan didn’t expect Lu Yuan to flee without even a proper confrontation. Was he too hasty?
The guy was very decisive in escaping; just three breaths later, and his Separation Spear would have locked down his opponent’s vital space.
If only he had delayed using the Yellow Blossom Kill, waiting for the guy to be locked by his Killing Domain, killing him would have been much easier.
However, having been hit by his Separation Spear, escaping wasn’t going to be easy.
Even if he couldn’t catch up now, he could still follow the trace of the Starry Sky Primordial Power left by the Separation Spear from a great distance behind Lu Yuan.
And that’s exactly what Ding Huan did. He didn’t even return to his sect but chased after Lu Yuan.
Whoever dared to meddle with his Purple Garden Mountain, no matter where the guy came from, must be killed.
He had killed Immortals and True Gods who came from the Ascension Realm, so what was a fledgling in the initial stages of the Void God Realm to him?
Feeling the distance growing, Ding Huan felt the need to upgrade his Flying Treasure.
It wasn’t that Ding Huan lacked better Flying Treasures; he dared not use them.
This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
Both from the storage rings of Shi Jiantian and Qi Long he had acquired Flying Treasures.
Especially the Flying Treasure from Shi Jiantian, a round-headed shuttle, that was definitely beyond the category of premium Spiritual Artifacts.
These treasures were acquired from cultivators from the Ascension Realm, and for now, he couldn’t openly use them.
Otherwise, once discovered, not only he but his Blue Star Sect would be in danger.
Ding Huan wasn’t in a hurry. He just needed to follow the gun Dao Rhythm left by the Separation Spear; sooner or later, he would find the other party.
Ding Huan wasn’t in a hurry, but Lu Yuan was driven to frenzy.
He faintly felt Ding Huan following him, but he didn’t know why Ding Huan could find his direction.
If Ding Huan caught up based on the Daoist Rhythm, he would never believe it.
That kind of thing, let alone Ding Huan, not even a real Earth Immortal Perfection could capture the essence of Daoist Rhythm.
Sensing the Daoist Rhythm required an understanding of the Heaven and Earth Rules.
No matter how strong Ding Huan was, at best he was just a Void God, how could a Void God understand the Heaven and Earth Rules?
Not understanding how Ding Huan could know his whereabouts, Lu Yuan didn’t dare to linger, he could only flee to the real Yun Tao City and then look for Mo Zheng.
Being hunted with his current strength, in the Taoist Realm, there were few who could help him.
The only person who could help him and had a reason to do so was Mo Zheng.
Upon entering the real Yun Tao City, Lu Yuan rushed to the City Lord Mansion without waiting for the guards to question him and took the initiative to say,
"I am Lu Yuan, the president of the Daoist Cultivation Chamber of Commerce, urgently seeking Lord Mo."
The guards actually recognized Lu Yuan. His reputation wasn’t small.
The president of the number one chamber of commerce in the Taoist Realm, and a predecessor in the Void God Realm, has entered and exited the City Lord Mansion not once or twice. How could they not recognize him?
Seeing Lu Yuan with a back full of blood and severely injured, they knew without him saying that something significant had happened.
A guard hurriedly saluted and said,
"Our City Lord has gone to the Ascension Platform…"
Before he could finish his sentence, they realized Lu Yuan had already disappeared.
Where could Lu Yuan dare to stay any longer? Sensing that Ding Huan could pinpoint his location, as soon as he learned that Mo Zheng had gone to the Ascension Platform, he headed straight for the Teleportation Array.
When Ding Huan arrived at the real Yun Tao City, Lu Yuan had already teleported away.
Ding Huan casually inquired and learned that Lu Yuan was teleported to the Ascension Platform.
In the Taoist Realm, the place with the most Teleportation Arrays was real Yun Tao City. But the Teleportation Array to the Ascension Platform was the most crowded and busiest.
For Lu Yuan to be teleported so quickly, he must have cut in line.
"Friend, please line up; everyone here is waiting." Just as Ding Huan walked up front, a man in charge of teleportation came over to stop him.
Lu Yuan held status and was president of the Daoist Cultivation Chamber of Commerce; the people here recognized him, and he was known for ruthless killings—who would dare not let him cut in line?
Ding Huan was different. With his new face and youthful appearance, trying to queue-jump like Lu Yuan was clearly not going to work.
Unless Ding Huan disregarded all rules by blasting everyone away and then taking the Teleportation Array himself.
Ding Huan did indeed want to kill Lu Yuan, but he wasn’t that desperate yet.
As for queue-jumping, Ding Huan had plenty of options. He took out a True Star Pill and approached a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the very front of the line.
"Leave your spot for me, and this True Star Pill is yours."
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator was so stunned by the massive surprise that he was a bit dazed, but he regained his composure in just a moment.
"Senior, what are you saying? This spot was originally yours to begin with."
With that, he snatched the True Star Pill and dashed off at the first opportunity.
The man responsible for the Teleportation Array had eyes red with envy. He, too, was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and felt the True Star Pill should have been his.
"I said no queue-jumping, go back and line up."
The man stepped up to Ding Huan, his mind clouded by thoughts of the True Star Pill.
He longed for Ding Huan to offer him another pill and didn’t consider what kind of existence could casually hand out True Star Pills.
Perhaps he knew that in the Tao City, even those in the Void God Realm wouldn’t dare to kill without care.
Ding Huan was strong, but he couldn’t possibly be a Void God powerhouse.
Besides, if Ding Huan were truly powerful, would he use a True Star Pill to exchange for a teleportation spot?
Not wanting to queue-jump before was just Ding Huan adhering to the principle of not imposing on others what he himself did not wish for.
Ding Huan raised his hand and a Wind Blade slashed across, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator feeling it split his brow in a daze.
He couldn’t quite believe what was happening as he saw Ding Huan enter the Teleportation Array and vanish. Then he fell to the ground.
The scene erupted into commotion.
This was no minor issue. Someone had killed a person in the Tao City, and the victim was an administrator of the city’s Teleportation Array.
Daring to kill an administrator in the Tao City meant one’s origins didn’t matter—the inevitable conclusion was a foregone conclusion. Death.
Ding Huan entered the Teleportation Array and disappeared just as Qiu Kujin happened to roll up to the scene.
Like a ball of meat, moving and rolling didn’t seem much different for him.
The moment he saw Ding Huan, even as round as he was, he stopped his forward motion instantly and completely.
Only after Ding Huan had killed someone and been teleported away did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He had intended to go to the Ascension Platform to look for Mo Zheng, but Ding Huan was simply too strong.
After Ding Huan had killed more than a thousand assailants at Purple Garden Mountain using his Killing Trap Array, he knew Ding Huan was not to be trifled with.
It was just that he was slow; he only arrived at the Tao City belatedly after Lu Yuan and Ding Huan had already entered.
"City Lord Qiu, someone just killed our Deacon Xu at the Teleportation Array."
Another controller of the Teleportation Array saw Qiu Kujin coming and rushed over as if he’d seen his own father, eagerly reporting to him.
According to protocol, he should have reported to the Teleportation Department in charge of the array.
But seeing the Deputy City Lord arriving, he wanted to get ahead, so he skipped the hierarchy to report.
Qiu Kujin snorted coldly.
"Enough of that noise. What’s so strange about such things happening in Tao City? Clean up the scene immediately, then report to the Teleportation Department, and send a report to the City Lord Mansion."
"Yes, yes..."
The manager, having hit a soft spot, dared not dally any longer and promptly retreated.
Inside, however, he found it quite strange; by rights, Deputy City Lord Qiu was the one who relished bloodshed the most.
Typically, in such a situation, there was only one way to deal with it: to immediately lead a team to the Ascension Platform to capture the murderer and then slowly torture and kill him.
Yet the reality of Deputy City Lord Qiu’s actions was completely different from the rumors.
Let alone handling the matter, knowing that Ding Huan had also headed to the Ascension Platform, Qiu Kujin left the Tao City without delay.
To him, it was no longer a safe place.
Since Ding Huan had gone towards the Ascension Platform, it was time for him to find a new place.
...
The Ascension Platform.
Despite being established for less than a year, it was undeniably the hottest spot in the Daoist Realm.
Before, the area around the boundary Array between the Daoist Realm and the Ascension Realm was completely desolate.
Because of the Ascension Platform, in just a short time, three workshops and a Cultivation City had emerged.
The Cultivation City was called Two Realms City. Although it was still in its infancy, it was bustling with activity.
Land prices in the city increased daily, and the place was filled with temporarily erected shops, Rest Inns, and Trading Buildings.
The busiest spot was naturally the Two Realms City Guild, perpetually packed to the rafters every day.
Since the Ascension Platform was erected to allow more outstanding cultivators to enter the Ascension Realm, some details and rules hadn’t been set.
Some cultivators who passed through the Ascension Platform and obtained the Ascension Token didn’t use it to directly enter the Ascension Realm but sold it at Trading Buildings or the Guild.
Cultivators who sold their Ascension Tokens could return after three months to try again.
Think about how many people longed to enter the Ascension Realm. Many of those cultivators, unable to earn an Ascension Token on their own merit, could only resort to buying one.
