Ninth In the World

“Not bad, I’m Di Jiu. Is Geng Ji here?” Di Jiu became somewhat displeased, as this bastard was still ignoring his question even though he had asked so clearly.

“Your saber is good too.” Xing Jing’ang’s attention was on the saber behind Di Jiu, so he still did not answer his question directly.

Di Jiu, who hated this way of shifting the topic, activated the nomological array he had set up.

Boom! The huge palace behind Xing Jing’ang started exploding and a frantic Immortal Essence aura also exploded. The magnificent hall collapsed, destroying all the restrictions inside.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force could clearly scan Geng Ji and Chi Yuanqing. Both of them were imprisoned on top of a huge censer with all kinds of mysterious and esoteric restrictions fluctuating around them.

Xing Jing’ang stared blankly at his magnificent palace, which was being destroyed, and froze for a moment. He was wondering how this could be possible.

There were all kinds of Defense Arrays around the palace where he lived. No one could dream of approaching, let alone using any techniques to blast his palace apart.

He was aware when Di Jiu had come in but unaware his palace would be blasted apart right in front of him.

“You’ve destroyed my palace?” Xing Jing’ang came back to his senses. His palace was not only a place where he could cultivate and rest. It was also connected to the altar. He had spent a huge amount of time and energy and used countless cultivators’ life-force to construct it. Now that it was being so easily destroyed, how could he not be startled and angry at the same time?

Di Jiu opened his palm to reveal his Heavenly Aqua Saber behind his back. He then said indifferently, “What do you think? I asked you a few questions and you’re being eccentric, which makes me very displeased. Thus, I would rather hack your cottage. Later on, I will also strike this rock trough you built.”

“How did you do it?” Xing Jing’ang asked in a daze. This was too ridiculous. The place where everyone was standing now was 99% under his control, and his Array Dao knowledge was the top in this Immortal Protectorate.

Despite his control, Di Jiu had blasted the palace apart. How could he not be shocked?

He did not know about the nomological array flags. Di Jiu had set up countless of them, but he thought he could condense the level-nine Confinement Killing Immortal Array at any time.

Di Jiu once again opened his palm and took away Geng Ji and Chi Yuanqing, who were pinned on top of the censer. Those restrictions and nomological Dao patterns were nothing to Di Jiu.

In the process, Di Jiu had removed the restriction on both of them.

After Geng Ji and Chi Yuanqing landed beside Huan Mingzi, Di Jiu said faintly, “I did it one more time. Did you see it clearly?”

“Brother Jiu…” Geng Ji shouted after finally coming back to his senses. He was overjoyed to see Di Jiu.

Di Jiu did not turn his head. Instead, he stared at Xing Jing’ang as he told Geng Ji, “Geng Ji, leave with Senior Huan Mingzi and Chi Yuanqing along with the others. I must teach this scum a lesson today and see why he made this life-force altar.”

He actually knew the meaning behind it. This bastard Xing Jing’ang was definitely thinking of using other people’s life-force and Dao path to break out of the Immortal Emperor Realm and ascend to a higher level.

He had to admit that this fellow was a genius for thinking of such a method and was almost about to succeed. Di Jiu was unsure how many innocent cultivators had died here but he was aware that Xing Jing’ang’s cultivation level had surpassed the Immortal Emperor.

Xing Jing’ang mumbled, “What a strong understanding of Heaven Earth Law. Perhaps one person like you would be enough…”

He could finally sense Di Jiu’s technique. It was like a kind of Heaven Earth Law understanding that he utilized fully.

The explosions of the array foundation could be heard by everyone. An incomparably huge level-nine Confinement Killing Immortal Array instantly rose. Di Jiu and the other cultivators were stunned by the sight of it, so their Essence Energy and Spiritual Force paused in a moment.

All the cultivators in the Confinement Killing Immortal Array were tightly packed together in that space. Even taking a step forward was hard.

“Today, I will show you that this is my territory…” Xing Jing’ang had not finished speaking when the tightly-packed space in the surrounding area collapsed all of a sudden, rupturing along with him. Afterward, a new space enveloped him. At the moment, he felt that only he was left in the tightly-packed surroundings. No one else.

Xing Jing’ang still dared to spout nonsense and drew out a long spear that turned into a spear pattern.

The long spear pattern then spread and the outside of Di Jiu’s Defense Array was affected, collapsing along with Di Jiu’s nomological array flags.

The spear pattern ripped apart Di Jiu’s level-nine Confinement Killing Array and Xing Jing’ang instantly rushed out of the array.

Di Jiu could once again use the nomological array flags to set up a Confinement Killing Array to trap Xing Jing’ang. However, he did not do so. He instead drew his Heavenly Aqua Saber and sent a saber move out.

Even though Xing Jing’ang’s Array Dao did not surpass a level-nine Immortal Array, he was still at the peak level of it. His strength was also far above any ordinary Immortal Emperor’s strength. He wanted to confine Xing Jing’ang, so he needed to use an even higher level of Confinement Killing Array.

However, this was not the most important issue. After all, Di Jiu could constantly set up level-nine Confinement Killing Immortal Arrays to trap him. The most important factor was that the Immortal Protectorate, which seemed to have been refined by Xing Jing’ang, was becoming his Quintessential World. No matter how many nomological array flags Di Jiu set up, Xing Jing’ang could still use his law control over this world to destroy his nomological array flags.

Unless he set up an even higher level of nomological array flags…

Di Jiu’s nomological array flags were only at the Immortal World level. If he could not set up an even higher level, he could not set up a Confinement Killing Array that would surpass the Immortal Array. Xing Jing’ang would certainly not give him the time to refine the array flags and set up the Confinement Killing Array.

He knew that Xing Jing’ang was not simple, so Di Jiu could only strike with the Order-Breaking Saber Move.

When Di Jiu struck, Xing Jing’ang’s long spear turned into a spear pattern for the second time. At that moment, he was more aware than anyone that Di Jiu was the top expert he had ever met. All these years, he had met too many experts. So what if they had been perfected Immortal Emperors?

Di Jiu, who was in front of him, was far from that.

When he’d captured Geng Ji, Geng Ji had said that his Brother Jiu would help him take revenge. To be honest, Xing Jing’ang had not taken that to heart at all. However, he now knew how formidable this Brother Jiu that Geng Ji had mentioned was.

Perhaps, Di Jiu was not the strongest in terms of strength but he set up arrays without anyone knowing. He now understood the reason Di Jiu could destroy his palace. It was because he had set up an explosive array.

Besides, that Confinement Killing Array had almost trapped him just now. He still could not make out how Di Jiu had set that up. However, he definitely would not give Di Jiu a second chance to set up nomological arrays now.

From the moment Di Jiu came in, Xing Jing’ang had been at a disadvantage. Still, he did not fear him. This place belonged to him and whoever he wanted to kill would die.

The spear pattern engulfed the area and turned it into a space. At the same time, it conformed with the suppression of the law of this Immortal Protectorate. Di Jiu could not escape this strength even with the help of a world’s force.

Crack, crack, crack! One could hear the law shatter, and the space enveloped by the spear pattern seemed to be collapsing.

A terrifying thought popped up in his mind. How was this possible? The Heaven Earth Law he’d trapped included his spear pattern’s divine power. Unfortunately, at the moment, it was collapsing.

This was a kind of divine power that ripped apart the law. What kind of technique was it? Not only could Di Jiu rip apart his spatial order, but he could also rip apart his divine power law?

Boom! The spear pattern exploded all over and the Heaven Earth Law in this world also started collapsing without having any effect on Di Jiu whatsoever.

Bam! Boom! The Heavenly Aqua Saber cut a bloody trough on Xing Jing’ang’s chest, sending him flying out and landing on the altar that was not yet completed.

At that moment, Xing Jing’ang grew solemn. He was sure that he’d guessed correctly. Di Jiu could really rip apart his law of divine power and also rip apart the Heaven Earth Law. This could not be described by the word ‘terrifying’.

If someone else had dared to make a move on him, he would have overpowered them. However, not only had Di Jiu attacked him, but he had also gained an advantage easily. Had he ignored the Heaven Earth Law?

“Daoist Di, please stop.” Xing Jing’ang was terrified upon seeing Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber once again sweep out with a blue mist saber flare. Thus, he hurriedly shouted.

Di Jiu, who would naturally not stop, struck with a Wind-Rustling Move.

The rustling wind easily turned water cold, and the blue mist Saber Qi carried an indomitable aura, locking Xing Jing’ang. This Saber Qi would not rest until Xing Jing’ang was killed.

An abnormal rosy-pink color appeared on Xing Jing’ang’s face. His long spear swept up, creating a brown spear line. At the same time, he shouted loudly, “Daoist Di, even if you shatter this world, you will only cause the Square Immortal Continent to become incomplete. You can’t do anything to me. I would give up this place and escape at most. Daoist Di, please believe me. I might not be your match, but nobody will stop me if I want to leave this world. If you are willing to stop, I can compensate you for your losses and…”

Boom! The indomitable saber flare struck along with Xing Jing’ang’s brown spear line. The frantic Immortal Essence disintegrated and the altar that had been constructed over many years was ripped into scraps.

When Xing Jing’ang saw his altar get ripped apart, his eyes filled with fury and pain. Meanwhile, Di Jiu’s killing intent approached and he spat out blood without being able to complete his words. How would he still stand a chance to stop Di Jiu from destroying his altar?

Di Jiu did not feel good either. Xing Jing’ang’s cultivation level was simply too deep. Without his Starry Sky meridian, he might have spat out blood because of this saber move.

Di Jiu did not use his elixir pills. Instead, he walked out as his Heavenly Aqua Saber once again turned into 100,000 blue flares.
