I have a lightning digital AV adapter. I use it to connect my iPad 9 to a HDMI screen. Is possible to use this lightning digital AV adapter together with a lightning to usb c adapter? For example can I connect a new iPad Pro or an other usb c device to HDMI with this combination or do I have to buy a usb c digital AV adapter?

No.
Lightning is a proprietary Apple interface. Lightning and USB-C are fundamentally different interfaces that are not inter-workable. You cannot connect Lightning accessories to a USB-C port.
As such, you’ll not be able to use your existing Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter with iPads (or other computers) that have USB-C ports.
Should you purchase an iPad with a USB-C port, if you intend to connect to a TV/Monitor using HDMI, you’ll need a compatible USB-C Adapter or USB-C hub that incorporates an HDMI connection. For example:

The Lightning to USB-C cable sold by Apple is Male to Male, the Lightning Digital Av adapter is male lighting , so cannot be connected together, and the lightning port on the Lightning Digital AV adapter is only for power delivery to the iPad or other device its connected to.
Thank you!
You’re very welcome.
