Chapter 1192 A Trap for You
However, on second thought, the fire artificer assumed that there were so many forces and spies that he had set up for countless years. They were the forces that had really been buried for several epochs. Some of them were so ancient that he almost forgot about them. They were like the stars in the dark night. Even if Ding Hao was the real overlord of the world, he might not be able to find out all of them, not to mention that he had not really dominated the world.
Even if the Earth Sight Pavilion was destroyed, not all the information Ding Hao could get from that force was complete.
“Ding Hao… Humph, he must be bluffing.”
On the other side.
Ding Hao seemed to have seen through what the fire artificer was thinking and said, “What? You don’t believe it? I believe you know how the Earth Sight Pavilion knows all kinds of secrets in the world better than I do. Divination is indeed a supreme skill in the world, but when it comes to the supreme diviner, I’m afraid that no one dares to deserve this title except for Clay Bodhisattva, who claimed to have divined through ancient and modern times.”
The fire artificer’s face suddenly changed.
Of course, he knew Clay Bodhisattva. In his long life, Clay Bodhisattva was the other figure that he was extremely afraid of besides Xuan Tianzong. He was an extraordinary person. After learning of Clay Bodhisattva’s existence, the fire artificer had always wanted to take him in and use him. Otherwise, he would have to get rid of Clay Bodhisattva immediately in case his great business might be ruined.
But all he could do was search for Clay Bodhisattva, and he failed.
Clay Bodhisattva was like a prophet who had seen through everything. If he didn’t want others to find him, no one would ever be able to.
Later, Clay Bodhisattva disappeared and was said to have died in the Stone Mouth City.
“But now, Ding Hao suddenly mentioned this matter, could it be…”
Ding Hao smiled and said, “Clay Bodhisattva has indeed passed away, but before he died, he left a strange stone called the Heavenly Secret Design. It can help one see through the past and present. Once someone can integrate with it, he can see through all the mysteries.”
The fire artificer calmed down and said, “So what? Clay Bodhisattva is dead. How can anyone integrate with the Heavenly Secret Design? Even you, Ding Hao, may not be able to integrate with that strange stone!”
Ding Hao said with a smile, “I indeed can’t merge with it, but I found a pair of deaf little Taoist children in the Divine Design Valley in the Land of Infinity. They were born to take Heavenly Punishment. This world will naturally repay their favor. The Heavenly Secret Design could merge with these two children, and it won’t hurt them… You should be able to understand what happened next.”
The fire artificer nodded and said, “Wonderful. Since you’ve found them, it’s reasonable for my people to lose… It seems that it’s the pair of little Taoist children who divined my trap for you this time. Otherwise, how could you know my location so accurately and know that I would hide in this tactical deployment?”
Ding Hao nodded and said, “That’s right.”
“It’s a painstaking effort. For tens of millions of years, you’re the second person I quite admire, but unfortunately, so what? I’m afraid that those two little Taoist children didn’t divine very accurately, otherwise, I wouldn’t have succeeded. Now that I’ve already taken Zhang Fan’s body and have an eternal body, what can you do to me?”
When he said that, the fire artificer’s expression turned sinister again.
“Is that so? Did you really get Xiaofan’s body?” Ding Hao burst out laughing.
“Humph, do you think…” The fire artificer was furious. Just as he was about to say something, his face suddenly changed. He shivered all over, and his face suddenly became extremely embarrassed. He said, “Who… who is it? Why is there another soul in this body? It…”
“The trap has long been set for you. Do you think everything is so simple?” Mu Tianyang snorted.
“Xuan Tianzong? It’s Xuan Tianzong?” The fire artificer suddenly realized something. He jumped up as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake and said, “How is that possible?”
“Why is it impossible? I have been waiting for this day for too long.” An old voice rang out. It was the voice of Xuan Tianzong from Zhang Fan’s body.
“It’s really you…” The fire artificer was stunned for a moment. He looked as if he had eaten a dead mouse. “How is this possible? It can’t be. How could you still be alive…”
“Why not? Didn’t you also use death to set up a trap?” Xuan Tianzong said. “It’s just a way to give yourself a taste of your own medicine.”
“This can’t be.” The fire artificer seemed to be crazy and said, “It’s possible that Mu Tianyang didn’t die, but weren’t you refined by Ding Hao? There is dark power in your body, which is closely connected to the origin. You have fallen long ago. I know you. Under the influence of dark power, everything about you can’t be hidden from me. If you haven’t died, I must be able to feel your existence. Why is this happening?”
“Because the person who controls reincarnation has already appeared.” Xuan Tianzong said slowly, “I have been plotted against by you. I have been contaminated by dark power for so many years and have been comprehending the mystery of darkness. Although you have a dark body and are born to be the incarnation of the dark abyss, and you’re the reincarnation of the original wisp of dark power, any power has a weakness. The dark power can also be resolved. My guess is right. The Reincarnation Power can eliminate darkness.”
What kind of figure was Xuan Tianzong?
Back then, he recognized the fire artificer’s identity and kept him by his side, hoping to eliminate his dark constitution so as to avoid the outbreak of the source of disaster. However, he did not expect that he would still underestimate the horror of the dark power. As a result, the fire artificer took advantage of it. Xuan Tianzong’s body was destroyed by the dark power, and his soul was also infected with it. He almost became a dark monster. Fortunately, he kept a trace of clarity and resisted the dark power for countless eras. With his aptitude and wisdom, he finally saw the source of the dark power in the end.
Before the second battle of Frozen Peak, Xuan Tianzong had implored Mu Tianyang to meet Ding Hao. They talked in detail and then set up a trap to lure the fire artificer out.
Xuan Tianzong’s understanding of the fire artificer could even be said to have surpassed his own.
If Xuan Tianzong hadn’t set up a trap to lure him out, he might have been able to wait for thousands of years since the fire artificer had incredible toughness and endurance. In countless eras, the two of them had fought like this, and it was always difficult for them to kill each other. In the Immortal Period, if it weren’t for the fact that Xuan Tianzong had destroyed the fire artificer’s body and ruined his plan, this world might have been turned into a world of death by now.
If it weren’t for the trap set by Xuan Tianzong this time, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Ding Hao and the others to lure the fire artificer out.
Mu Tianyang taking God’s tests was the most critical part.
The Heaven Disaster could disturb the workings of heaven and also conceal many things. Even if experts from all over the world were watching the battle, their vision would be blurred. It was easy to perpetrate fraud in an instant.
It was unknown how many of those thousands of experts were the fire artificer’s spies.
Only by being able to deceive the world would one be able to deceive Hades True Immortal.
Now it seemed that the plan had succeeded.
At first, Ding Hao did not trust Xuan Tianzong very much, but now it seemed that the ancestor of the immortals should have been wronged, and the fire artificer was the real Hades True Immortal.
Everything was clear now.
“After such a long time, how much dark power have you gathered? Why don’t you break it all out?” Ding Hao took a step forward, and the golden saber and silver sword around him showed up. His magic skills were at their peak, and his killing intent had been determined.
“You know I’m stalling for time, but you’re still waiting on purpose. Are you stupid? Or are you confident?” The fire artificer knew that today’s matter would not be settled peacefully. He roared angrily, and his dark power completely erupted in an instant. The entire Seven Seas seemed to dim at this moment, and all the living creatures in the Heaven Path world trembled.
Ding Hao and the others were the first to bear the impact of this dark power.
Endless black mist and thick fog gathered from all directions, and the dark tactical deployment around them was suddenly activated again. The rocks at the bottom of the sea slowly floated up while bones, skeletons, broken sabers, broken swords, and so on emerged from under the rocks. The world seemed to be destroyed by darkness in an instant.
“I’ll let you know that the eternal darkness is the only thing that can’t be destroyed!” the fire artificer roared.
Ding Hao burst out laughing.
“Don’t you think it’s strange that we let you easily get Xiaofan’s body while we have known your plan for a long time?” Ding Hao also completely released his strength. Endless ice and flame Qi burst out from his body. The Sword Intent and Saber Intent domain instantly evolved into the cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, stirring up the surrounding void water.
The gold-silver Yin and Yang Pisces Diagram appeared and expanded rapidly, instantly covering the sea area within a radius of a thousand miles.
“Kill him!” Mu Tianyang snorted coldly and displayed the swordsmanship of the Nihility Extermination Sword. A white shadow appeared and reached Zhang Fan’s body in an instant. He did not hesitate to wave his sword and directly slash at him.
The fire artificer sneered, but he did not dodge.
That was Zhang Fan’s body. He did not believe that Mu Tianyang would really kill him. Even if Mu Tianyang did not care about it, Ding Hao would definitely care about Zhang Fan.
However-
“Ah…” Soon there was a tearing pain in the body, which made the fire artificer furious. When he looked down, Mu Tianyang’s white swordsmanship of the Nihility Extermination Sword cut Zhang Fan’s body like a cloud of smoke, but it did not hurt him at all. However, the fire artificer’s divine soul clearly felt the pain of being cut into pieces.
“He directly destroyed my divine soul?”
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Nihility Extermination Swords pierced through the fire artificer’s body.
“I’ll let you know the real power of the Master Devil’s Nihility Extermination Sword.” The most respected person in Mu Tianyang’s heart was the Master Devil, who was also Xuan Tianzong, so he didn’t show mercy while attacking the fire artificer.
“Damned junior, nonentity…” The fire artificer was furious, and the dark power was about to explode.
However, at this time, endless imprisoning power came, and the Reincarnation Power of yin and yang around him formed some kind of tactical deployment, which was coming from all directions, suppressing the dark power inside and outside his body, making him unable to run his magic skills.
“Do you think it’s so easy to occupy Xiaofan’s body?” Ding Hao laughed and said, “This is a trap for you. Only the most solid and powerful physical body in the world can imprison you. After your dark power is refined, Xiaofan can reach the extreme of physical strength and get to the top. That’s your real value. Otherwise, how can I let you possess Xiaofan’s body?”
