After the myth

Chapter 1114 Taixu
The closer the cosmic pot got to the Great Chen Star Continent, the more terrified Ding Huan felt.

"Ding Huan, stop for a moment." Mo Wuji also sensed a sense of crisis, and he took the initiative to tell Ding Huan to stop the cosmic cauldron.

"I feel there's something wrong; we can't go any further," Mo Wuji said, frowning.

Ding Huan nodded; he also felt something was wrong.

“If someone sets up a lower-level trap in the void where we are heading to the Great Star Continent, we have a high chance of falling into it,” Mo Wuji added.

“I suspect that’s how Ye Xuan fell for it. Otherwise, with Ye Xuan’s strength, he wouldn’t have been unable to even send out a distress signal.” Ding Huan agreed with Mo Wuji’s words.

They haven't discovered the boundary trap yet, but by the time they do, it will be too late.

Whether it was Mo Wuji or Ding Huan, after advancing to the eighth step of the Great Dao in the First Universe, their own Great Dao rules were no less than those of any of the other nine universes.

In addition, their own keen sense of their own vitality allows them to usually sense ordinary ambushes in advance.

The only option left for Ding Huan and Mo Wuji was to take a detour.

"Ding Huan, we'll still go the same way we came, but we won't go with them..."

Before Mo Wuji could finish speaking, Ding Huan understood what Mo Wuji meant.

"Wuji, you mean we should send the cosmic cauldron over and follow behind it?"

"Yes, but the cosmic cauldron needs someone on board. I have a puppet I've crafted that will take our likenesses and go there."

"Good idea," Ding Huan praised.

When Mo Wuji took out two puppets, Ding Huan was shocked; they were simply too powerful.

The puppets that Mo Wuji crafted were almost indistinguishable from real people; the flow of the Great Dao and the vitality of life were in harmony with the rules of heaven and earth.

That's not all. What's most impressive is that these two puppets have reached the level of Creation Saints.

If the Great Dao were to further conceal it, it would be impossible to detect it with divine sense in a hurry.

"Each of us will have one, and we will integrate our own Daoist principles into this puppet. We will then follow behind the Cosmic Cauldron and see who is trying to ambush us."

Logically, Mo Wuji and Ding Huan should have come to rescue Ye Xuan, but only Ye Xuan knew this.

But neither Mo Wuji nor Ding Huan ever doubted Ye Xuan.

After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he sent one of his own Great Dao principles into the puppet.

The next moment, Mo Wuji seemed to be copied, and an identical version of him appeared on the cosmic cauldron.

If he doesn't make a move, his aura is exactly the same as Mo Wuji's, and even his momentum is almost identical.

Even divine sense can be blocked by a protective Daoist aura, unless one forcibly tears through this protective Daoist aura.

Ding Huan followed suit.

"Wuji, I think we'd better not follow the cosmic pot." Ding Huan still felt something was off.

If the other side even calculated the direction from which they came, could you have guessed that they sensed the danger in advance or took a detour?
After all, people at their level have a strong sense of danger.

“Alright, let’s step back now.” Mo Wuji was experienced and immediately understood Ding Huan’s meaning.

At the same time, he took out two more puppets.

Ding Huan understood immediately.

Just a few breaths later, the cosmic cauldron carried two puppets forward, while the other two puppets transformed into the likenesses of Mo Wuji and Ding Huan, concealing their forms and following at a distance.

As for Mo Wuji and Ding Huan, they transformed into two spatial laws, with two puppet figures following them in the void to the left and right.

The speed of the cosmic pot is not as fast as before.

Two days later, the cosmic pot seemed to have accidentally entered a non-existent void and suddenly disappeared.

Even if Ding Huan and Mo Wuji were on the cosmic cauldron, they probably wouldn't be able to figure out this method for a while.

The cosmic cauldron had barely disappeared when two beams of killing intent suddenly appeared in the void, so fast that they ignored the distance in space and blasted towards the puppet following behind the cosmic cauldron.
After the two beams of killing intent, two figures appeared in the void. The one on the left was dressed in black, and the one on the right was dressed in yellow.

It was clearly them who ambushed the two puppets following behind the cosmic cauldron.

Just as these two figures appeared, the space suddenly shattered, and two terrifying auras of death enveloped them.

Ding Huan and Mo Wuji attacked at the same time.

Mo Wuji was dealing with the man in black, while Ding Huan was dealing with the man in yellow.

In fact, after the men in black and yellow ambushed the two puppet figures, they sensed something was wrong.

Because they found it to be far too simple.

Their targets were almost completely defenseless; two beams of killing intent tore the two puppet figures apart, and they didn't even have time to use their backup plan.

This is clearly completely different from the Ding Huan they knew.

If Ding Huan were so weak, there would be no need to expend so much effort to lure him here.

But the next moment, two killing intents capable of tearing apart the source laws slammed towards the two of them.

Just like when they ambushed the puppeteers.

When they ambushed the puppet, the puppet didn't react at all.

Despite the surprise attack from Ding Huan and Mo Wuji, they were still able to hastily unleash their defensive magic weapons.

Mo Wuji and Ding Huan showed no mercy whatsoever.

Under the spear of a mortal, there is only death.

Within the range of the Shattering Blade Curtain, there was not a shred of life.

boom! boom!
The magical weapons hastily unleashed by the men in black and yellow were utterly incapable of blocking the deathly aura of the Mortal Halberd and the murderous aura of the Tribulation-Breaking Blade.

All cosmic rules in the void were torn apart, and the laws were reduced to dust. The entire void vanished as if collapsing; under this terrifying shattering of cosmic rules, spatial blades could not even form at this moment.

Puff!
Two streaks of blood, one brown and one yellow, exploded.

Mo Wuji's Mortal Halberd cleaved open the black-clad man's shoulder, while Ding Huan's Tribulation-Breaking Blade nearly split the yellow-clad man's head open.

The men in black and yellow disappeared into the collapsed space.

However, in just a few breaths, the two figures struggled out of the collapsed void again.

Ding Huan and Mo Wuji's Great Dao Domain directly surrounded this void.

Mo Wuji's Great Dao Domain locked down the man in black. He had seen cultivators with brown blood before, but this was the first time he had ever seen one who had reached this level and still had brown blood.

Ding Huan looked at the yellow-robed cultivator in front of him, and his first feeling was that he was familiar with him.

He quickly remembered someone: the faceless, gray-robed cultivator in the canyon of the condensed cosmic wall.

It was in that place that he obtained the Great Dao Disc, a Dao Bead, and killed Lei Chou.

That guy must be an alter ego of the owner of the scroll.

However, that clone definitely developed self-awareness...

Moreover, that clone doesn't admit that he is Taixu.

The guy in front of me has the same Daoist aura as the faceless gray-robed cultivator.

So, this guy in front of us might be the real Taixu, one of those Dao spirits.

"Ding Huan, stop attacking. There's a strange teleportation realm here. If we attack, our attacks will backfire. Let me investigate..."

Just as Ding Huan was wondering who the other person was, Mo Wuji's voice came at just the right time.

After realizing that the other party might be Taixu, Ding Huan decided to give him a good beating and make him understand why flowers are so red... no, so yellow.

Upon hearing Mo Wuji's words, Ding Huan immediately stopped what he was doing.

Immediately, his divine sense penetrated out, and sure enough, he sensed a source realm he had never encountered before.

It was very subtle; if Mo Wuji hadn't reminded him, he would have completely overlooked it.

Ding Huan secretly admired Mo Wuji's combat experience and became even more cautious.

"Who are you? Do I know you? Why did you suddenly appear and block my way, and even try to ambush me?"

Ding Huan's Dao Domain expanded wildly. Although he was waiting for Mo Wuji's news, he also had to create the impression that he was about to make a move.

Sure enough, after Ding Huan's Dao Domain expanded, the yellow-robed man's Dao Domain also swept over.

The collision of the Great Dao domains caused the already collapsing void to collapse even faster.

To Ding Huan's shock, his domain had not been able to suppress the opponent's domain.

You should know that his sneak attack just now had already severely injured his opponent.

Given the deathly aura emanating from his Breaking Calamity Blade, it would be impossible for the opponent to peel it off in a short time.

In this situation, the other party can still resist him...

Was the owner of that scroll really that powerful?

Ding Huan immediately thought of the man in black that Mo Wuji had dealt with.

If the person in front of us is the owner of the scroll, then the man in black must be an avatar of the scroll's owner...

He was originally supposed to be an avatar of the scroll's owner, but with someone's help, he killed the scroll that wanted to make him an avatar, thus incurring the scroll's owner's wrath...

"You took my things, and today I'm here to get them back, or you'll be buried with them..."

The man in yellow spoke slowly, yet with an undeniable air of authority.

"Do you want the Great Dao Compass? You gave it to me willingly back then, how can you say that I took your things?"

Ding Huan knew that the other party might be the owner of the scroll, so he deliberately mentioned the Great Dao Disc.

After saying that, Ding Huan picked up the Great Dao Disc and waved it around.

Sure enough, upon hearing the name of the Great Dao Disc and seeing the Great Dao Disc in Ding Huan's hand, the yellow-robed man's Daoist aura clearly fluctuated.

Ding Huan immediately realized that his test had been successful.

The guy in front of me isn't actually Taixu, the owner of the scroll. If he were, he should know about the Great Dao Compass.

The faceless gray-robed cultivator he encountered back then was very likely also an avatar of Taixu.

That clone clearly intended to seize the Great Dao for itself.

Even if the clone wants to operate independently, it cannot avoid the main body when refining the Dao Dao Disc Pearl.

When he saw the faceless cultivator, he knew that the guy wanted to refine the Dao Dao Disc Pearl.

This Taixu is really pitiful; he's created a lot of clones.

Unfortunately, very few of them are actually useful.

Whether the gray-robed, faceless man had broken free from Taixu's control was unknown, but he had truly destroyed the scroll and escaped Taixu's scheme.

Ding Huan suddenly thought of something terrifying: if the man in black and the man in yellow robes were not Taixu, then what about Taixu?

"Ding Huan, I've found a way to break through the opponent's teleportation of divine power realms, let me tell you..."

Before Mo Wuji could finish transmitting his message, Ding Huan transmitted it to him: "Wuji, let's pretend to fight, then run away now, quickly..."
