After the myth

"You mean this golden river belongs to Ding Huan? Is he currently offering sacrifices to this vast land?" Qi Changqing's voice was as cold as her eyes.

Zuo Shanyi, with an upright and righteous expression, said forcefully, "Yes, it is this person. We are trying to protect Haohan."

This is where we grew up. Even if I, Zuo Shanyi, die here, I will absolutely not allow anyone to sacrifice the place where countless innocent cultivators lived.

"Yes, we absolutely will not allow such people to exist."

Ku Yue knew exactly how to express her opinion at this moment, and immediately echoed loudly.

The two people behind Ku Yue also said, "We are determined to protect this vast land. We will do whatever Senior Qi does."

Qi Changqing's expression softened slightly as she looked at the two men. She then nodded to the burly man and said, "I know you. Your name is Chenluo. You founded this vast Buddhist and Taoist community."

Chen Luo was flattered and quickly said, "This junior is learning from the senior, but this junior is dull-witted and has not learned even a tenth or a twentieth of what the senior has learned, and my progress on the Great Dao has been stagnant."

Qi Changqing smiled slightly: "After this, you should be able to take another step forward."

After saying that, she turned to another cultivator exuding a fierce aura: "You must be Lie Daozi, one of the Five Ancestors of the Vast Expanse, right?"

Lie Daozi quickly bowed again: "This junior is indeed Lie Daozi. From now on, this junior will obey all orders from senior."

"very good."

Qi Changqing was very satisfied with their answers, and she turned to Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu.

An Ting lowered his head, a fierce struggle raging within him.

Zuo Shanyi, Ku Yue, and Chen Luo have now joined forces with Qi Changqing, a top-tier powerhouse who coexists with the vast universe.

Their strength is clearly superior to theirs.

Ye Xuan was injured on their side.

Only Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu.

How do I choose now?

Should I join Qi Changqing or stay with Mo Wuji?

An Ting secretly wanted to join Qi Changqing's side, but he was also aware of the situation.

If he joins Qi Changqing's side now, he will probably be looked down upon by Ku Yue and the others.

While An Ting was still hesitating, Qi Changqing suddenly spoke up: "Ye Xuan, I will let it go for now that you secretly refined my Vast Star Core, but return my Vast Star Sword now."

Before Ye Xuan could speak, Lan Xiaobu sneered, "I wiped out many gods because I know that those who come out of the gods are all lowly bastards."

To my surprise, even with all my efforts, there were still some scumbags who slipped through the net.

Qi Changqing's body surged with murderous intent, and she was about to make a move.

Zuo Shanyi quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Qi, dealing with Ding Huan is the most important thing for us right now."

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu might also be able to help us deal with Ding Huan. Once we get rid of Ding Huan, we can do whatever we want afterwards, right?

Qi Changqing was unaware of how terrifying Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu were, but Zuo Shanyi knew all too well.

If they were to fight Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu now, even if they won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.

So how do we deal with Ding Huan next?

More importantly, Zuo Shanyi knew in his heart that no matter how good the relationship was between Mo Wuji, Lan Xiaobu and Ding Huan, they would never allow Ding Huan to sacrifice this vast territory.

So now Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu are on their side. Even if they weren't, at least they wouldn't attack them now.

In Zuo Shanyi's heart.

All grudges and grievances are insignificant before the Great Dao.

As long as it benefits his path to enlightenment, he would be willing to call Mo Wuji or Lan Xiaobu "Dad".

Upon hearing Zuo Shanyi's words, Qi Changqing's murderous intent subsided.

She doubted whether Zuo Shanyi would help her if she took the initiative now.

If Zuo Shanyi doesn't help her, she alone probably won't be able to do anything to Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu.

But she couldn't tell Zuo Shanyi the truth.

She couldn't very well say that the biggest threat to her wasn't Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu, nor was it Ding Huan, whom they were about to deal with, but rather Ye Xuan.

To be precise, it was Ye Xuan's Vast Star Sword.

Knowing that Ye Xuan was injured and unable to unleash the full power of the Vast Star Sword, they realized that Ye Xuan was also injured.

Qi Changqing simply said, "Since that's the case, then let's begin to tear apart this golden river of paths."

"Senior, we are still a bit far from the vast Dao Ruins—"

Chenluo said cautiously.

Qi Changqing sneered: "Distance? He thinks he's some kind of vast primordial spirit—"

After saying this, Qi Changqing grabbed the vast star core and landed on the bank of the golden river of the Great Dao.

To everyone's astonishment, Qi Changqing was not swept away by the golden river of the Great Dao. Her white dress fluttered without wind as she stood on the bank of the golden river of the Great Dao, supporting the vast star core, like a sovereign over the vastness.

Ku Yue's eyes widened.

Although she had gone up there once before, she knew how to approach the golden river of paths next.

But she didn't dare to stand unaffected beside the golden river like Qi Changqing.

"Everyone, follow me and let's get started—"

After Qi Changqing finished speaking, the vast star core in her hand had already transformed into a colossal planet.

"boom!"

Such a massive star core crashed into the golden river of the Great Dao, tearing apart the infinite laws of the Great Dao, exploding the golden source, and causing the golden river to shake violently.

Gabriel was extremely anxious. This golden river of the Great Dao belonged to Ding Huan. How could she allow this woman to attack Ding Huan's golden river of the Great Dao so recklessly?

If Ding Huan's golden river of Dao is torn apart, wouldn't Ding Huan's Dao be in danger?

She wouldn't care what Ding Huan was going to do.

Even if Ding Huan were to sacrifice the entire Vast Expanse, she would still help him complete it without hesitation.

Ga Baihe unleashed her magic weapon and charged forward.

Ku Yue and the others were faster than her.

Upon seeing that Qi Changqing was able to attack Ding Huan's River of the Great Dao at will, Ku Yue, Zuo Shanyi, and Chen Luo immediately summoned their magic weapons and rushed forward.

They were well aware that if they destroyed Ding Huan's Golden River of the Great Dao, Ding Huan would surely fail at the last hurdle.

Not only that, Ding Huan will also suffer severe injuries from the backlash of the Great Dao.

If we don't go up now, when will we?

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu exchanged a glance and rushed over without hesitation.

Mo Wuji had known Ding Huan the longest, and he didn't quite believe that Ding Huan would sacrifice this vast territory.

To find out the specifics, one must enter Ding Huan's River of Great Dao.

No matter what Ding Huan does, no matter how these people bombard his Great Dao River, Ding Huan is likely to be in grave danger.

At this moment, Ding Huan's golden Dao aura became increasingly profound, and the river of the Great Dao, carrying a vast Dao sound, rolled outwards.

Countless cultivators have already seen this golden river of the Great Dao and are now rushing towards it.

Who would miss such an opportunity?

Kugetsu and the others were simply faster.

Ding Huan stood at the source of the golden river, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had already seen through the entire vastness.

At this moment, Ding Huan finally understood why Ji Qiong was performing the Dao sacrifice.

At the same time, he also realized something.

This vast expanse can indeed only produce one powerful individual who has taken the ninth step of the Vast Expanse.

His insights were similar.

When he takes the ninth step on the Vast Path, he will sacrifice the entire Vast Path.

In other words, this vast expanse and all the universes beneath it will become the steps for him to take the ninth step of the Great Dao.

I could feel the river of the Great Dao spreading wildly, and the endless Dao principles stacking up in a frenzy.

Ding Huan himself felt uneasy.

He knew that if he continued like this, he might really have to sacrifice this vast expanse.

He naturally wouldn't allow himself to sacrifice this vast expanse.

The primordial laws of his own universe surged wildly as Ding Huan attempted to suppress the fission of the Dao laws within the golden river of the Great Dao.

The Great Dao within that golden river of the Great Dao is expanding wildly due to the expansion of his own Great Dao universe. If this continues, his golden river of the Great Dao will soon break through the First Universe.

Once the Golden River of the Great Dao bursts out of the First Universe, even if he wanted to avoid sacrificing to this vast expanse, he wouldn't be able to.

But when Ding Huan activated the fundamental principles of his own universe, his heart sank.

He was unable to stop his golden river of energy from splitting apart.

At this moment, Ding Huan realized that even though he killed Ji Qiong, he had still fallen into Ji Qiong's trap in the end.

Ding Huan's senses landed on that vast tree; no wonder Ji Qiong hadn't taken it away.

It's not that Ji Qiong couldn't take it away; this guy probably left it behind on purpose.

Ji Qiong was killed, but Ji Qiong was an existence born alongside this vast world, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is immortal.

If he fails to take the ninth step of the vastness, he will also perish.

He killed Ji Qiong, and as long as he falls, Ji Qiong can definitely be revived by using this vast source law.

Not only that, Ji Qiong also used his hand to sacrifice the entire Vast Expanse.

If he sacrifices the entire Vast Expanse, and this Vast Expanse Tree comes back to life, Ji Qiong will surely be able to take the ninth step of the Vast Expanse.

At this moment, this magnificent tree has come back to life from its withered state, and its vitality is gradually becoming stronger, with even green buds sprouting.

Ding Huan took a deep breath.

Even if it means his death, he will not let Ji Qiong's scheme succeed.

boom!

Ding Huan felt as if half of his Great Dao was about to crack open.

The golden river extending from beneath his feet surged even more violently.

Ding Huan was furious.

This is someone attacking his Great River.

Ding Huan was already unable to control his own River of the Great Dao, and at this very moment someone was attacking it.

With this attack, his River of Dao completely spiraled out of control.

The Great Dao River, which had been restrained by Ding Huan, exploded completely.

In the blink of an eye, the River of the Great Dao was no longer a river but transformed into rivers and seas, and then into the vast expanse of the ocean.

Various sources of the Great Dao poured out from the River of the Great Dao, and endless Great Dao principles split out.

Ding Huan opened his mouth and spat out a jet of blood.

At this moment, he could neither stop the completely out-of-control River of the Great Dao, nor could he use the River of the Great Dao to sacrifice the entire Vast Expanse.

It's one thing to not sacrifice the vastness, but it's another to let things get out of control.

Ding Huan's anger was almost burning out.

The one who destroyed his Great Dao River was definitely not trying to save this vast expanse, but rather selfishly trying to take his place.
