387. Chapter 383: One Spear, One World (Extra Chapter 5 for Lang Liu's All-In Bet)

By the time someone came to investigate Ding Huan, he had already appeared in a wilderness cave dwelling.

He began forging array flags, and completed the Level One Immortal Array flags in just ten days.

But no matter how hard he tried afterward, he could not set up a Level Two Immortal Array.

This made Ding Huan think of his own inability to advance to Jin Xian—this could not possibly be due to insufficient comprehension.

His comprehension was, in fact, tied to the Great Cosmos Art; if the Great Cosmos Art could construct a Zhou Tian, then there was no way he could fail to grasp the method of setting up a Level Two Immortal Array.

After creating the Great Cosmos Art, no bottleneck existed for him.

This applied not only to cultivation, but also to all auxiliary arts—even the Poison Dao, he could comprehend faster than others.

This proved one thing: the heavenly laws of the Fourth Immortal Realm were indeed flawed.

The Immortal Sects and Immortal clans of the Fourth Immortal Realm possessed higher-tier protective arrays only because the arrangers' cultivation had reached the required level—they built the arrays using their own power.

After clarifying this issue, Ding Huan decisively halted further analysis of array arts.

He immediately left, and since the Immortal Realm wouldn't work, he would analyze in the Void instead.

Immortal qi was indeed weak in the Void, but one thing Ding Huan was certain of: the heavenly laws of the Void had no flaws whatsoever.

At this moment, Ding Huan finally understood why Wu Hongtian refused to enter the Immortal Realm and instead wandered the Void.

This guy had foresight.

But even if he had foresight, by the time Ding Huan emerged, it would be this guy's death date.

Whether this guy was truly insane or pretending, he had to be killed.

Ding Huan pulled out an array token; on it was a clear directional guide—he knew this marked the exit from the Fourth Immortal Realm's array.

Whether the Fourth Immortal Realm's array was natural or crafted by a great master meant nothing to Ding Huan now.

Once he stepped out, he would find a way to advance to Jin Xian.

In the Fourth Immortal Realm, there were some beyond Xuan Xian, but not many. The majority were Zhen Xian, followed by Jin Xian and a few Xuan Xian.

After killing Wu the Madman, he would return once more to the Fourth Immortal Realm.

With his Jin Xian power, he would surely be able to establish himself in the Fourth Immortal Realm.

After accumulating enough Immortal Crystals there, he would leave the Fourth Immortal Realm and find a place to cultivate and advance further.

Leaving the Fourth Immortal Realm required no array token whatsoever.

Ding Huan had merely used the array token to reach the array gate of the Fourth Immortal Realm, and walked out with ease.

As soon as he exited the Immortal Realm, Ding Huan saw the Void City.

Void City had not changed much from before; the only difference was two cages hanging outside.

Inside the cages were two cultivators; even though both were barely alive, Ding Huan recognized one immediately as Qi Qi Yonghan, and the other he had seen before—a cultivator from Immortal Mortal Valley.

Ding Huan flew into a rage and punched the sealing barrier of the two cages with a single blow.

Those who saw Ding Huan's action sighed.

This Ding Huan has no brains—can Wu the Madman's array skills let you rescue someone so easily?

If you act like this with brute force, you'll just get the people inside crushed by the strangling restriction.

"Crack!" The barrier shattered under Ding Huan's direct assault; the cages turned to debris. With a flick of his hand, Qi Qi Yonghan and the other cultivator landed behind him.

The cultivators who expected the strangling array patterns to crush the captives stared wide-eyed—how was this possible?

How could Wu the Madman leave no backup, allowing someone to rescue the captives so casually?

"Lord Ding." Qi Qi Yonghan, seeing Ding Huan, was overjoyed.

"Mu Zhen thanks Lord Ding!" The other man also cried out in fervent gratitude.

Having been hung outside Void City by Wu the Madman, he had never imagined he'd survive. Now saved by Ding Huan, his life was a gift.

Ding Huan pulled out two rings and handed them to the two: "There's some stuff inside—recover first."

More cultivators in Void City saw Ding Huan arrive and immediately shatter the cages Wu the Madman had hung outside, and knew Void City would no longer be calm.

"Understood." Qi Qi Yonghan and Mu Zhen both knew they must recover their cultivation as quickly as possible—this long-haired man called Wu the Madman was terrifying.

Once they regained their strength, they might be able to assist Ding Huan somewhat.

Ripples surged through the Void, and a long-haired man appeared outside Void City.

"So you came. You've got some skill, to rescue someone from my strangling restriction." The long-haired man fixed his gaze on Ding Huan, a cold smirk on his lips.

The man was Wu Hongtian—the so-called Wu the Madman of Void City, who had seized over ten thousand cave dwellings yet did nothing.

Ding Huan understood the man's intent: Wu Hongtian's cages carried strangling restrictions—any attempt to move them would trigger the killing seal and kill Qi Qi Yonghan and the other.

"Lord Ding, let me help you." Qi Qi Yonghan, having regained some strength, stepped forward.

Ding Huan waved his hand: "Fall back. This man is strange—you can't help."

Years ago, when Ding Huan first saw Wu Hongtian, he had assumed Wu was a Zhen Xian at the early stage.

So when Chang Chang Danyi advanced to Zhen Xian early stage, he thought she'd be fine leaving the Fourth Immortal Realm.

Even if she couldn't defeat Wu Hongtian, she could at least protect herself.

Now he realized how wildly wrong his assumptions had been.

Wu Hongtian wasn't a Zhen Xian early stage at all—he was clearly a Jin Xian.

Not just a Jin Xian, but a Jin Xian mid-stage cultivator.

This guy was shameless—hiding his Jin Xian mid-stage cultivation beneath the guise of Zhen Xian early stage.

Of course—he knew he couldn't advance beyond that level in the Fourth Immortal Realm, so he chose to cultivate in the Void.

Now that he knew Wu Hongtian's true cultivation, Ding Huan, though unafraid, dared not treat him as carelessly as before.

Wu Hongtian looked at Ding Huan as if he were already dead, and showed no urgency to act.

Ding Huan summoned his spaceship and said, "Wu Hongtian, let's move elsewhere. Fighting here might break the Void City."

"Hah! And you think you can?" Wu Hongtian sneered, raising his hand to snatch at Ding Huan.

Ding Huan summoned his Wheel of Rebirth Spear and thrust it forward with all his might.

Wu Hongtian's immortal energy palm seal was torn apart by Ding Huan.

Though he sensed Ding Huan was giving his all, Wu Hongtian still stared at him in surprise: "Not bad. In just a few years, you've advanced to True Immortal. You've got some talent."

"Since you've got some talent, let's fight somewhere else." Ding Huan had already stepped onto his spaceship.

Qi Yonghan and Mu Zhen moved swiftly, rushing onto Ding Huan's spaceship at once.

Ding Huan controlled the spaceship to depart; Wu Hongtian wasn't in a hurry, stepping through the air behind him.

Ding Huan's rapid ascent to True Immortal suggests he has some secret.

As Ding Huan said, it's not wise to search his soul outside the Void City—who knows if he's joined some immortal sect?

At first, Ding Huan's flying ship moved slowly; after flying a while, it grew faster and faster.

Wu Hongtian sneered: "You think you can escape from my palm? Don't dream."

Just as Wu Hongtian prepared to intercept Ding Huan's spaceship, Ding Huan stopped abruptly and said to Qi Yonghan: "Go far away. Don't come near here."

When Qi Yonghan and Mu Zhen learned Ding Huan was a True Immortal, they knew Wu the Madman's cultivation likely wasn't lower than Ding Huan's.

At this moment, they could offer no help—staying far away was best.

Seeing Ding Huan stop, grip his Wheel of Rebirth Spear, Wu Hongtian dropped his smile: "Since you have the courage to fight me, if you reveal your secret, I won't search your soul."

"All that nonsense."

With a cold snort, Ding Huan shook his spear, unleashing a storm of spear points that swept toward Wu Hongtian.

The spear points exploded, unleashing boundless martial killing energy from Ding Huan's Wheel of Rebirth Spear.

If this were the Daoist realm, space would have cracked long ago under such pressure.

Here, space was clearly extremely stable—no matter how fierce the killing energy Ding Huan summoned, space remained unchanged.

Wu Hongtian stepped forward, slashing down a streak of crimson.

It was a long sword.

As this blade fell, even Qi Yonghan and Mu Zhen, far away, felt their bodies chill, and hurriedly retreated further.

Ding Huan had never seen such a long blade—Wu Hongtian's sword was longer than his own spear, fully one zhang and six chi.

The blade glowed a vivid crimson; before it even descended, a terrifying heat seemed ready to evaporate all of the void, and Ding Huan stood at the heart of this unbearable heat.

The killing energy of the spear and Wu Hongtian's blazing sword domain finally collided.

Boom!

Violent martial dao rhythms exploded, completely obscuring this patch of void with spear points and sword veils.

Wu Hongtian froze—he had unleashed seven-tenths of his strength, yet still failed to suppress Ding Huan's spear momentum.

How could this be?

He was a Jin Xian of mid-stage—this spear strike should have crushed even a Jin Xian of early stage…

He had held Ding Huan in high regard, which was why he used only seven-tenths of his strength.

This couldn't be possible.

Just as Wu Hongtian thought it impossible, Ding Huan's Wheel of Rebirth Spear's spear intent transformed utterly.

What had been a storm of killing spear points became a vast, overwhelming, furious momentum.

At this moment, Ding Huan seemed like a sovereign standing in the void, spear in hand, ready to sweep the cosmos.

He dared to crush my martial momentum as a mid-stage Jin Xian? Wu Hongtian sneered, and his Six-Zhang Crimson Cloud Sword erupted fully.

Each sword veil rolled in like a cluster of flaming planets; the space itself was no longer being evaporated by heat—it had become part of this blazing sword domain.

Wu Hongtian believed that once his Void Flame Sword Domain emerged, even a dragon would kneel.

Unfortunately, he overestimated his Void Flame technique.

Ding Huan's killing spear momentum transformed into an annihilation that erased all things—each tremor of the spear dragged forth a world, and each world unleashed a cataclysmic killing spear principle.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The spear's dao rhythms slammed into the flaming planets.

One planet after another shattered; in Wu Hongtian's stunned gaze, the killing dao rhythms of Ding Huan's spear worlds surged again, sweeping through all things, reducing them to dust, and instantly tearing through Wu Hongtian's Jin Xian domain.

One spear, one world. Where the spear passes, all dust is annihilated.
