Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 489 - 482 - : Got Screwed Over
Tian Gang's thirty-six Daoist Skills took Ding Huan a long time to cultivate, but for Emperor Xing Pan, it was a matter of minutes.
Only three days were needed for Xing Pan to effortlessly change his own appearance.
The only trouble was, even as an Immortal Emperor, he couldn't change his own Great Dao Rhythm.
Helpless, Ding Huan had no choice but to use the Great Universe Technique, guiding Emperor Xing Pan step by step on how to alter his own Great Dao Rhythm.
To change his Great Dao Rhythm, the first step was to integrate the new Great Dao Laws with his own being.
Cultivators generally cultivate a single Cultivation Technique, integrating the Dao with their being step by step over many years, so it is impossible to modify.
What Ding Huan now needed to do was to strive to make Xing Pan familiar with a second type of Great Dao Law Rhythm and then integrate it with himself.
Understanding the Great Dao Laws was not difficult for Xing Pan. The difficulty lay in how to integrate this new Great Dao Law with himself.
In the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe within Ding Huan, he had integrated billions of laws, making it easy for him to change. To make Xing Pan change, he had to exhaust half a month's time.
With Ding Huan's help, although Xing Pan could modify his Great Dao Rhythm and integrate the new Great Dao Rhythm with himself, he could only change one type.
That is, the one that Ding Huan taught.
The circulation of this Great Dao's Rhythm Law and how it integrated with the self were all taught by Ding Huan step by step.
Because of this, Xing Pan understood even more profoundly how deep Ding Huan's understanding of the universe's laws was.
No wonder he could effortlessly peel off the mottled Dao Rhythm within him.
Arriving at the location where he was to refine and assimilate the Soul Devouring Ring, Ding Huan pointed downwards:
"Let's first use Earth Jutsu to go down."
"Your cultivation spot is not far from where I secluded myself for refining," said Xing Pan with a smile after reaching the underground space that Ding Huan had opened up.
This truly was a stroke of destiny because the closeness of Ding Huan's cultivation spot to where he secluded himself made it possible for him to be reborn.
Otherwise, he would have had no chance to meet Ding Huan in this lifetime, and meeting Ding Huan meant a chance to be reborn.
"Why don't you take a look at what's here?" Ding Huan chuckled.
"Is there a mark of Emperor Wukong here?" Xing Pan, being Emperor Wukong's archenemy in life and death, immediately sensed the mark left by Ding Huan on the ring there.
"Yes, these are the marks of Emperor Wukong. Later, take your time to assimilate these marks. Don't worry, while you assimilate these Marks of Divine Will, I assure you Emperor Wukong will come here."
Xing Pan nodded, "I know, as soon as he appears, I will surely give him a harsh blow."
Ding Huan was very certain:
"No, when he comes here, he definitely will not strike you, he won't even use Divine Will to break the Array. He will observe from outside the Concealing Immortal Array, only entering once I trigger the false frost attack."
"That's impossible, I know Wukong too well; he will definitely strike me immediately."
Emperor Wukong immediately refuted Ding Huan's statement.
"With your current appearance, Emperor Wukong naturally will strike you, but after you change into my appearance, do you think Emperor Wukong will still care about a mere Profound Immortal?"
"Are you saying I should transform into your appearance? And also conceal my cultivation at the level of a Profound Immortal?"
"What else?"
Xing Pan was a bit embarrassed, indeed, otherwise why would Ding Huan ask him to learn this transformation?
Once Xing Pan had transformed, Ding Huan began setting up Arrays outside.
Ding Huan set up a Level 4 Defense Immortal Array and a Level 4 Killing Trap Immortal Array.
Watching Ding Huan set up the Immortal Arrays, Xing Pan felt they were not very useful, but it was already impressive for a Da Yi Immortal like Ding Huan to set up Level 4 Immortal Arrays.
"Alas, my Array Dao is also quite average," Xing Pan lamented helplessly.
Ding Huan chuckled.
Although he had not yet advanced to the rank of Immortal Array King, he was always on the verge of breaking through to Level 7 Immortal Array King.
The Level 4 Killing Trap Immortal Array was merely to keep Emperor Wukong from being suspicious.
What really mattered was the Level 6 Killing Trap Immortal Array that Ding Huan had set up using Void Array Patterns.
At the level of Emperor Wukong, setting up Strangulation Immortal Arrays and the like was meaningless.
Setting up this sort of Level 6 Killing Trap Immortal Array was mainly to stall Emperor Wukong momentarily, just enough time for Xing Pan to make his move.
This was merely a precaution, in Ding Huan's view, with Xing Pan's surprise attack, and him overseeing it.
Emperor Wukong, no matter how powerful, would have no chance to escape.
Once all preparations were complete, Ding Huan asked, "Big brother, are you ready? If so, start destroying those marks, remember not to rush, slow down the destruction pace.
Remember, as soon as Emperor Wukong enters our Concealing Immortal Array, immediately launch your surprise attack. The first strike doesn't need to finish him, but it must severely injure him."
"Okay, leave everything to me," Xing Pan slapped his chest, beginning to destroy the Marks of Divine Will that Ding Huan had left on the ring here.
As Xing Pan began to destroy the marks, Ding Huan, hiding within the Array next to Xing Pan, triggered the 107 prohibitions of the Soul Devouring Ring.
Only while refining this prohibition would the essence of this prohibition be released.
This time, Ding Huan only set up a third-level shielding Immortal Array; he was sure that as soon as Emperor Wukong got nearby, he would sense it.
Previously, when he was refining the Soul Devouring Ring, the Killing Frost from the 107 prohibitions was blocked by the iron pot, and he himself blocked the aftermath of this lethal strike using Body Refining Techniques.
Because of this, he barely escaped with his life.
So, the spirit of the Soul Devouring Ring was not successfully condensed, and thus did not alert Emperor Wukong.
Perhaps in Emperor Wukong's eyes, as long as one refined the 107th prohibition, they would inevitably be killed by the piercing cold.
…
Wu Kong Peak.
This was Emperor Wukong's Daoist practice grounds.
Despite the Demon Race and the Demon Clan having invaded the entire Great Immortal Domain, and even the gods starting to enter, in Emperor Wukong's eyes, these were merely trivial matters.
Upon learning that Ding Huan had taken the Soul Devouring Ring, he was even extremely delighted for a time.
Ding Huan was someone he had met once, undoubtedly a genius among geniuses.
Moreover, in the Immortal Sect ranking competitions, Ding Huan consistently secured first place in three categories with overwhelming superiority.
It could be said that, whether it was in the Immortal Court or the Great Immortal Domain, nobody was more suited to be the Ring Spirit of the Soul Devouring Ring than Ding Huan.
He planned to give Ding Huan a hundred years; if Ding Huan still couldn't refine the Soul Devouring Ring by then, he would personally capture Ding Huan to refine it.
Thus, the matter of the Soul Devouring Ring had long since been put on the back burner by Emperor Wukong who was now deducing a top-level Divine Skill.
Suddenly, at this moment, his heart skipped a beat.
Emperor Wukong suddenly stood up and murmured to himself, "How is this possible?"
It was Ji Changsi himself who had said that Ding Huan took away the Soul Devouring Ring from the Immortal Sect competition.
In just a few years, how could Ding Huan possibly notice the Mark of Divine Will on his Soul Devouring Ring?
Logically, one would only be able to sense these Marks of Divine Will after refining the 107 prohibitions.
The prerequisite is that you have to survive.
Not only did Ding Huan now detect the Marks of Divine Will, but he was also continuously destroying them. Could it really be that he had refined the 107th prohibition? And he hasn't died?
With the Marks of Divine Will on the Soul Devouring Ring steadily decreasing, Emperor Wukong couldn't help but believe.
He couldn't wait any longer, Emperor Wukong immediately rushed out of Wu Kong Peak.
Once those Marks of Divine Will were removed, he wouldn't be able to sense where the Soul Devouring Ring was.
As for the Marks of Divine Will of the 107th prohibition of the Soul Devouring Ring, he had infused them through a Forbidden Technique, and there were only two of them.
He was able to imprint these marks because during his refinement of the 106th prohibition of the Soul Devouring Ring, he had acquired all the information about the 107th prohibition.
Even though the Immortal Court and the Great Immortal Domain had already been guarded by the Cultivator Army, turning the prohibitions into a Level 9 Immortal Array,

Emperor Wukong didn't need to inform anyone to enter the Great Immortal Domain.
Upon arriving in the Great Immortal Domain, Emperor Wukong was even clearer about the location of his Soul Devouring Ring.
"Is it really near the Immortal Abandoned Lands?" Emperor Wukong murmured to himself.
He inwardly thought, this lad is indeed shrewd.
The outer perimeter of the Immortal Abandoned Lands had undergone numerous grand battles, and by this time, no person or Immortal Demon Beast remained. At this time, cultivating in the Immortal Abandoned Lands was indeed very safe.
Emperor Wukong took out a Teleportation Talisman; upon activation, the next moment saw Emperor Wukong appear at the Immortal Abandoned Lands.
After sensing Ding Huan's location again, Emperor Wukong once more brought out a Teleportation Talisman.
This time when the Teleportation Talisman landed, it appeared not far from Ding Huan's location.
"Good lad, still underground, haha." Emperor Wukong chuckled.
Refining the Soul Devouring Ring underground was a good idea, provided that you could set up a Defense Immortal Array of level 5 or above, preferably level 6.
Otherwise, for an Immortal Emperor, it was practically akin to being naked.
Ding Huan's Array skills were quite formidable; according to the information obtained by Emperor Wukong, Ding Huan was a peak level 4 Immortal Array Master.
Unfortunately, he couldn't set up a level 5 Immortal Array, let alone a level 6.
Emperor Wukong's figure flickered, and he directly entered the deep underground.
The next moment, Emperor Wukong's Divine Will swept across Ding Huan's concealing Immortal Array; he could feel Ding Huan within the Array, destroying his Marks of Divine Will.
Judging from the fluctuations of the Daoist Rhythm, it was indeed undoubtedly Ding Huan.
Emperor Wukong silently shook his head; it seemed that the 107th prohibition had not been refined yet.
He did not use his Divine Will to spy on Ding Huan inside the Concealing Immortal Array. Since he was here, waiting a little longer wouldn't matter.
Once Ding Huan completely refined the 107th prohibition of the Soul Devouring Ring and became the Ring Spirit, he could make his move.
This Ding Huan did indeed have some skill; he hadn't refined the 107th prohibition yet but could already sense the pile of Marks of Divine Will he had placed in his Soul Devouring Ring.
Just as Emperor Wukong thought this, a terrifying burst of cold air suddenly broke out, climbing sharply in intensity.
Had it been refined so quickly?
Without a second thought, Emperor Wukong charged into the Concealing Prohibition; he was worried Ding Huan couldn't withstand the terrible cold, and his Divine Soul might also be torn apart by this cold.
"Something's not right, why is this cold air only this powerful?"
Yes, indeed, it is Ding Huan...
No wait, just as Emperor Wukong realized something was amiss, a breath of death surged towards him.
This wasn't Ding Huan.
A lifetime of scheming people, Emperor Wukong of course knew he had been tricked.
Such a terrifying Immortal Essence attack, the power was even stronger than his own.
