Ninth In the World

After sending Qu Fang away, Di Jiu decided to refine several pieces of armor, as he wanted to go to the Chaos Realm and have a look.

This was not because of how many treasures there were in the Chaos Realm. Di Jiu knew very well that going to the Chaos Realm would concern his life. If the person in the Chaos Realm was really the Dao Master of the Universe, as soon as the cultivation level of the Dao Master of the Universe was restored, the first person he would want to kill was definitely Di Jiu.

If an expert like the Dao Master of the Universe could not see that the Ninth Dao Law had been integrated with his world, that would be really weak of him. As for why the Dao Master of the Universe had not killed the other owners of the Primordial Dao Laws, it was obviously because he would pick the weakest one. Right now, that was Di Jiu.

While Di Jiu was thinking about executing his nomological escape technique and heading to the Chaos Realm, the communication pearl on his wrist suddenly flashed.

Unexpectedly, it was a message from Tang Beiwei. Di Jiu was overjoyed. Ever since he’d let Tang Beiwei, Yi Shu, and Tang Xitan leave first, there had been no more news of these three. He had sent many messages, but to no avail.

Now that he had received news of Tang Beiwei, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on the communication pearl and he immediately frowned. There were only two words on the communication pearl: Still fleeing.

Di Jiu hurriedly returned the message, but there was no response even after half a day.

It seemed that the three of them were not in a good situation. Di Jiu fully extended his Spiritual Force, wanting to look for the location the communication pearl message had come from. However, that was too difficult. Given his current strength, he still could not do so. After a few hours, Di Jiu once again received a message from a vague position. Then, there was no more news.

Without hesitation, Di Jiu executed his nomological escape technique and rushed over as quickly as possible.

Given Di Jiu’s nomological escape technique and cultivation level, there was nothing faster than him on that side of the void.

In just a few days, Di Jiu was close to the location on the communication pearl. However, he slowed down and vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Even though Tang Beiwei was still fleeing, she could send a complete message. Why had she sent those two words and given him a simple location?

As he had that thought, a terrifying pressure swept over. Then, it seemed as if the void had collapsed. Even this side of the void was firmly locked in by this collapse, let alone Di Jiu’s domain. Di Jiu immediately understood that Tang Beiwei’s communication pearl had obviously been taken away by someone who had set up a trap there and waited for him.

Di Jiu sneered silently. Just as he was about to tear apart the suppression of the void’s collapse, the space suddenly fluctuated again. A moment later, Di Jiu felt his body become light. He was actually teleported.

Sure enough, the guy who had schemed against him obviously knew about his skills. Thus, he hadn’t made use of this place to completely trap him. Instead, he had teleported him to another place. Without needing to think, Di Jiu knew that the place he was teleporting to was not simple. At least it could not have been hurriedly set up.

While he was still in the void, Di Jiu took out the Yin-Yang Taijitu to protect himself and was ready to use the Book of the World at any time.

Di Jiu’s best defensive Dharma treasure was not the Yin-Yang Taijitu or the Void Mountain, but the Book of the World. However, he usually did not use it.

Bam! The teleportation force seemed to have disappeared without a trace when Di Jiu fell from the void.

Then, the endless lava erupted. Without needing to scan it with his Spiritual Force, Di Jiu knew that he had been swept into a huge lava pool.

As a body-tempering cultivator who was going to surpass a Sacred Body, his physical body would not have been destroyed by this lava even without the taijitu.

While scanning the place with his Spiritual Force, Di Jiu checked the surrounding situation and rushed out of the lava.

To his shock, when his Spiritual Force had just permeated the area, part of it was burned by the scorching lava. Pain rushed forth in his Spiritual Sea before he hurriedly withdrew his Spiritual Force.

Di Jiu knew very well how strong his Spiritual Force was. If part of it could still be burned by the lava outside, this showed how powerful the lava was. This was at least a sacred-fire-level lava, or it could not have burned his Spiritual Force.

Even though this lava was slightly weaker than the Chaos Lava he had encountered in the Land of Seven Chakras, its degree of ruthlessness was far stronger.

The person who had plotted against him was truly capable if they had found such a place.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force quickly set up dozens of nomological array flags. However, his expression turned ugly.

If it had been just the lava, he would have been confident about leaving. Even a more terrifying scorching lava than the Chaos Lava could not have confined him.

The most crucial point was that, in addition to the lava, there was a top-notch Confinement Killing Divine Array that was definitely a level-nine Divine Array. Besides that Divine Array, there was also a large number of concealment array patterns that Di Jiu suspected to be natural.

Di Jiu was a Divine Array Emperor close to the eighth level. As soon as he touched such an array pattern, he knew that it would not be easy to rush out. Even if he could break through the level-nine Confinement Killing Divine Array, it would be difficult to break such a divine array pattern.

If a cultivator was shrouded by this divine array pattern while rushing out, they would die. However, Di Jiu had a Sacred Body, a few top-notch defensive Dharma treasures, and the Ninth World. Hence, he was not worried about perishing.

The person who had used the level-nine Divine Array to confine him was really generous.

Bam! Di Jiu finally landed on the ground, where a layer of illusory flames lay. If any ordinary Primordial Chaos cultivators had landed there, they would have been burned to ashes without being able to resist.

Di Jiu even removed the taijitu and stepped on the illusory flame with both feet. It could tear the void and bound both of his feet, but it could not even tear the end of Di Jiu’s pants.

This illusory flame was hundreds of feet tall. In the middle of the illusory flame was an iron cage. To Di Jiu’s surprise, a person was locked in the iron cage.

However, this was not the most shocking revelation. What shocked Di Jiu the most was that this man’s Purple Palace had been pierced by a Dark Sift Steel, thus locking him in the void.

The Dark Sift Steel was a top-notch level-nine divine material used to refine most top-notch supreme-grade divine weapon treasures. However, it had been used to pierce a cultivator’s Purple Palace.

Once the Purple Palace was locked, a person’s cultivation level was gone. In that case, what else could one do besides get killed by such an illusory flame? Not only had this locked cultivator not died, but his clothes were still there. He seemed to be thin and weak, but he was far from being a skeleton. At that moment, he looked at Di Jiu in surprise.

“You only have a Primordial Chaos cultivation level, but you were able to survive in the Solitary Buddha Lava and even walk through the illusory flame at the bottom of the Solitary Buddha Lava without using a defensive Dharma treasure?” Before Di Jiu could check on the locked cultivator, the cultivator surprised Di Jiu instead.

Di Jiu replied speechlessly, “I’m not as formidable as you. Although your Purple Palace is locked and your Spiritual Sea is confined, you are still alive. You’re probably much more formidable than me.”

Upon hearing that, the locked cultivator chuckled and speechlessly looked at Di Jiu.

Although he was a third-step cultivator, a Primordial Chaos cultivator had actually said that he was more formidable than his Primordial Chaos Realm.

Once Di Jiu saw this person’s expression, he knew what he was thinking. However, Di Jiu did not mind. It was normal for an expert to belittle a Primordial Chaos cultivator like Di Jiu.

“You have been locked here for quite some time, right? Do you know who locked you here? Also, where is this place? Is there a way out?” Di Jiu asked several questions in a row.

“You want to go out?” the locked cultivator asked.

Di Jiu answered lightly, “Aren’t you spouting nonsense? Don’t you want to go out? Tell me if you know how. Maybe I can take you out.”
