Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation Chapter 698 - 691: The Thing Guarded by Hou Hen

Ding Huan was already standing by Thick Trace God Emperor's side, and Thick Trace God Emperor was filled with emotion, knowing that Ding Huan stood there without any fear of him.

Otherwise, given Ding Huan's caution, it was absolutely impossible for him to stand so close.

After all, it took Ding Huan several years to get here and stand by his side.

In the distance, Ji Luo's Thunder Tribulation Arc continued to fall, but neither Ding Huan nor Thick Trace God Emperor paid it any mind.

Ding Huan had long used his Divine Will to see that Thick Trace God Emperor was right; the Forbidden Patterns locking his body were indeed connected to the Star Sky Divine Spirit Vein.

One could even say that these Forbidden Patterns were provided by the Divine Spirit Source of the Star Sky Divine Spirit Vein.

Such powerful Forbidden Patterns of Heaven and Earth could lock even Thick Trace God Emperor, even without the Divine Spirit Source.

Now, with the Star Sky Divine Spirit Vein providing the Divine Spirit Source, unless soone interferes, Thick Trace God Emperor might never escape in his lifeti.

"Brother Ding, with your abilities, I estimate it would take at most a hundred years for you to unravel these Forbidden Patterns on ."

Thick Trace God Emperor had witnessed Ding Huan's array-setting techniques.

But even so, thinking he could unravel these Forbidden Patterns on him in a hundred years was nothing but a fool's dream.

Once Ding Huan began to unravel the Patterns, he couldn't leave.

These Forbidden Patterns had a backlash effect; to leave halfway would be seeking death.

The best outco would be ending up like him, completely locked by the Forbidden Patterns, trapped for countless ages.

Therefore, in Thick Trace God Emperor's view, once Ding Huan began, there was no turning back.

Ding Huan did not speak, his Divine Will focused on these Forbidden Patterns.

The Forbidden Patterns not only penetrated Thick Trace God Emperor's ridians and Dantian but also passed through his Sea of Consciousness, Essence Blood, and even his soul.

"Thick Trace God Emperor, were these Forbidden Patterns on you naturally ford, or did soone manipulate them?"

Ding Huan pretended not to hear Thick Trace God Emperor's words.

Spend a hundred years removing these Forbidden Patterns for Thick Trace God Emperor?

Perhaps if your face were a bit paler, Thick Trace God Emperor.

He'd rather forgo these Star Sky Divine Spirit Veins than waste a hundred years here.

Thick Trace God Emperor glanced at Ding Huan, "Do you think I'm so full that I would sit here and wait for naturally forming Forbidden Patterns to lock up?"

"So soone locked you here then?" Ding Huan ignored Thick Trace God Emperor's dissatisfied words.

Anyone locked here for countless ages would feel aggrieved inside.

"That's right."

"Who is this person?"

In fact, this was the question Ding Huan wanted to ask.

The Forbidden Patterns locking Thick Trace God Emperor were simply taking Heaven's Creation, and Ding Huan estimated that even if his array level improved another tier, he couldn't lay them out.

Even if he wanted to break them now, he would have to rely on the Great Universe Technique.

Without the Great Universe Technique, he couldn't break them at all.

"His na is Luo, and if not for being flesh and blood, I'd suspect he was a sword. This guy's strength is too overwhelming, and the Sword Dao aura around him extrely terrifying."

"Luo?"

Ding Huan frowned; he had never heard of this na.

"Why did Luo lock you here?"

"Because he desired the top-grade Star Sky Divine Spirit Vein and a Seven Realms Flower. When he asked to guard here, the Star Sky Divine Spirit Vein was just a high-grade divine spirit vein.

But here is the Void Abyss, spanning the void, where the high-grade Star Sky Divine Spirit Vein can absorb the Primordial Energy from billions of voids to upgrade."

Ding Huan was even more puzzled, "Old Hou, I can understand high-grade Star Sky Divine Spirit Veins upgrading over ti to top-grade Star Sky Divine Spirit Veins. But what's the deal with the Seven Realms Flower?"

The reason for this inquiry was that Ding Huan himself had a Seven Realms Flower planted in his Cosmic Pot.

He had just been promoted to Divine King, though possessing the Sea of Consciousness World Tao Universe, he hadn't had ti to transplant the Seven Realms Flower into it.

Thick Trace God Emperor gave Ding Huan a glance and said blandly, "My title is Thick Trace God Emperor, not surna Hou. My real na is Shi Hen."

After ntioning his na, Thick Trace God Emperor was sowhat dazed.

How long had it been since he ntioned his own na?

Everyone who t him knew him as Thick Trace God Emperor, one of the twelve Divine Emperor Fruit Positions.

Yet few knew he had another na, Shi Hen.

After a while, Thick Trace God Emperor continued, "The Seven Realms Flower is extrely difficult to cultivate; it stands three feet tall and bears Seven Stars, only appearing in regions where the Heaven and Earth Rules are at their weakest.

Upon acquiring a Seven Realms Flower, it must be nurtured using the Yin Vein, Yang Vein, Dark Vein, Light Vein, Starry Sky Vein, Dao Vein, and an alleged Chaos Vein above the Dao Vein."

Ding Huan's heart stirred, and his Divine Will fell upon his own Seven Realms Flower.

His Seven Realms Flower was currently only being nurtured with the Yin Vein, yet remained quite vigorous but hadn't progressed much.

He had not realized that his cultivation of the Seven Realms Flower was inadequate.

"The Seven Realms Flower Luo brought originally had four stars solidified. Cultivating here with the Starry Sky Vein, it was bound to solidify five stars, illustrating just how much effort Luo had expended then."

"Is the Seven Realms Flower located in the depths of the Divine Spirit Vein behind you?"

"That's right, I only know there's a Seven Realms Flower behind . Even now, I can't see it; I'm just guarding the Seven Realms Flower and the Starry Sky Vein for them to grow."

After saying this, the Thick Trace God Emperor sighed deeply. "Back then, Luo placed sothing here and never returned. He promised that if I watched over it well, he would spare when he ca back."

Ding Huan mocked, "Lao Shi, do you believe that?"

The Thick Trace God Emperor remained silent; he naturally didn't believe it.

"Lao Shi, I examined the Forbidden Pattern binding you and these Star Sky Divine Spirit Veins, and I found they harbor death energy and trigger the Forbidden Pattern.

In other words, in the process of unbinding it for you, there is danger. If I'm not careful, I could beco a Guardian of the Seven Realms Flower and Spirit Veins like you..."

Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, the Thick Trace God Emperor did not refute.

What Ding Huan said was accurate because any mishaps with these Forbidden Patterns could backfire, trapping the person attempting to unbind them.

Seeing the Thick Trace God Emperor's expression, Ding Huan knew he understood what was going on.

He continued, "I plan to spend a thousand years unbinding this Forbidden Pattern for you, but I need you to agree to a condition."

Hearing Ding Huan was willing to spend a thousand years to unseal the binding Forbidden Pattern, the Thick Trace God Emperor was imdiately moved.

He had no doubt.

Because he told Ding Huan it required a hundred years to deceive Ding Huan.

No matter how talented Ding Huan was, he couldn't unlock the Forbidden Pattern here in just a hundred years.

Once Ding Huan began, they would share the sa fate.

"Tell . As long as it frees , any condition can be negotiated," the Thick Trace God Emperor slowly said.

"Lao Shi, none of these Star Sky Divine Spirit Veins are yours; you're rely watching over them. So after I unseal these Forbidden Patterns, I won't give you anything here."

Ding Huan felt there was no need to be polite with this old fellow.

He was sure the Thick Trace God Emperor talking about unsealing the Forbidden Pattern in a hundred years was nonsense.

If he didn't have the Great Universe Technique and the Vast Universe ford by fusing the myriad foundational Laws, he wouldn't be able to unseal it in a thousand or even ten thousand years. He might even end up like the Thick Trace God Emperor.

"Okay," the Thick Trace God Emperor agreed imdiately.

Ding Huan's potential was limitless, so he felt no need to continue playing tricks.

He was sure Ding Huan had already realized that once the Forbidden Pattern was unbroken, Ding Huan himself would be implicated.

If Ding Huan could unseal it, and didn't give him the Star Sky Divine Spirit Veins, he could do nothing about it.

Ding Huan glanced at the Thick Trace God Emperor, feeling disdain in his heart.

These old fellows hardly say anything true.

Actually, the previous words of Hou Hen did contain a few grains of sincerity.

He didn't place all hope solely on Ding Huan.

In Hou Hen's heart, as long as Ding Huan started to unseal the Forbidden Pattern binding him, it would surely loosen.

With Ding Huan's abilities, he absolutely could achieve that.

As long as the Forbidden Pattern loosened, he could escape it.

Of course, Ding Huan also would not be trapped by the Forbidden Pattern; it's a win-win.

By then, naturally, the distribution of things would follow what was previously agreed.

Now that Ding Huan planned to spend a thousand years undoing the Forbidden Pattern while knowing it could backfire and, noticing Ding Huan's potential, his thoughts changed.

Without any nonsense, Ding Huan first set up layers of Protecting Array around himself, then took the Thick Trace God Emperor, along with the Forbidden Pattern and Star Sky Divine Spirit Veins, into his Great Universe Technique Circulation.

Under his circulation, even if the Forbidden Pattern backfired, he could escape instantly.

Ding Huan had no interest in being trapped here with the Thick Trace God Emperor for tens of millions of years.

When the first Great Universe Technique Circulation was sensed by the Thick Trace God Emperor, even though he had anticipated it, he was still incredibly shocked.

It was indeed a Tao Technique connected with the Vast Universe.

He sensed infinite changes in the Laws within this Tao Technique, and if he could cultivate it, his comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Dao would be incredibly clear now.

Unfortunately, he couldn't cultivate.

Ding Huan wasn't in a rush to unravel the Forbidden Pattern here; he was integrating and sensing the Heaven and Earth Laws.

Law after law was fused by Ding Huan, and the types and numbers of laws in his Tao Universe continued to increase.

Ji Luo had long since passed the tribulation, and he didn't dare to get too close; he only watched Ding Huan from afar.

Although he was now in the Divine King Realm, he was extrely afraid of the Thick Trace God Emperor.

Three months later, Ding Huan had completely fused all the Binding Laws and Space Laws here. He still hadn't started unbinding the Forbidden Pattern but continued to feel how these Patterns were ford.

This not only enhanced his Array Dao level but also prevented a hasty move from endangering himself.

One new Forbidden Pattern after another was sensed by Ding Huan, and his Array Dao level soared rapidly.

Six months passed again, and Ding Huan was now an eighth-level Array Master, capable of easily engraving eighth-level Divine Array Patterns.

At this mont, Ding Huan finally began unraveling the first Binding Forbidden Pattern.

The first Forbidden Pattern he chose to unseal wasn't the one binding the Thick Trace God Emperor but the one restraining the Star Sky Divine Spirit Veins.
