Ninth In the World

Strange Mercury’s nomological escape technique aside, Di Jiu’s nomological escape technique could be considered the fastest escape technique in the entire universe.

In just half a day, Di Jiu could sense his Five-Element Flags more clearly. Then, his expression turned cold. Hundreds of years had passed since he had entered the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, yet his Five-Element Flags were still withstanding these attacks.

His guess had been really right. As long as he had gone there a few years later, the Great Ultimate Realm might have been turned into pieces.

…

Boom! A huge sound was heard and almost the entire Great Ultimate Realm shook.

As if there was an earthquake, almost everyone felt desperate and anxious.

The Great Ultimate Realm was vast. Under normal circumstances, even third-step experts couldn’t shake the Great Ultimate Realm. However, Di Jiu had used four Five-Element Flags to seal the Great Ultimate Realm. If third-step experts came to attack the Great Ultimate Realm, the Five-Element Flags would have to shift the attack power. This attack power would then shake the Great Ultimate Realm.

Fang Jianxi said with a solemn expression, “Against such a powerful attack, I’m afraid the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array could only last for a few months at the very most.”

Sect Master He Yi said, “I have a feeling that the attacks against the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array will become much more intense than before.”

Fang Jianxi sighed. “I can also feel that. If my guess is right, some other third-step experts from the Bei Family have come. I’m afraid the Great Ultimate Realm can’t hold on. We…”

After he said that, Fang Jianxi shifted his gaze from the hall and did not utter a word for some time.

Therefore, everyone went silent. Ren Jisha suddenly said, “Even if I perish, I will not be refined by the demons of the Bei Family.”

Ren Jisha’s words made everyone go silent, as they all knew what he meant. They had heard of the brutality of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean’s Bei Family. Once they offended this family and they came out, more than one of them would get killed. Usually, a realm was killed and refined. The Heaven Earth Realm was a lesson learned.

Fang Jianxi said slowly, “I agree with Deputy Sect Master Ren. If the Defense Array could really be broken, we would fight them with our lives. Even if we were killed, it would be better than other people refining this place and being confined here. I believe that given Dao Lord’s capabilities, he would seek revenge on our behalf…”

Fang Jianxi suddenly paused because he had heard something more terrifying.

At that moment, everyone in the Starry Sky Saber Sect’s conference hall stood up and looked outside the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A few continuous Dharma treasures struck the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array, producing increasingly louder explosions.

While Bei Yifei attacked the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array, he said excitedly, “When Martial Uncle Ku and Senior Brother Ping come, we will use at least half of this time to break the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array.”

Bei Yiyu chuckled. “Martial Nephew Yifei, you’re wrong about this. Our time won’t be reduced by half but by 90%. The two of us originally needed decades to do this, but we’ll now need a year at most before this Defense Array is broken.”

“You’re wrong. Even if you had an extra 100 million years, you’d have no right to break the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array.” A disdainful voice was heard. Then, a young man in blue who was carrying a long saber on his back landed on the square.

The four cultivators of the Bei Family turned around at the same time. They didn’t even know how this young man had come and when he had done so.

“Who are you?” Bei Yiyu stopped brewing his divine power, took a step, and blocked Di Jiu’s path. At the same time, Bei Ku, Bei Yifei, and Bei Ping got into position and blocked Di Jiu’s path.

Di Jiu laughed. “Who am I? I’m the Dao Lord of the Great Ultimate Realm.”

“You’re Di Jiu? You’re that weakling who killed Bei Jie of the Bei Family?” Upon hearing him mention that he was the Dao Lord of the Great Ultimate Realm, Bei Yiyu realized what Di Jiu’s background was.

Bei Ku said, “That’s right. He killed Bei Jie. I have his void image. He is very ruthless.”

“The Bei Family? The Bei Family of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean?” Di Jiu suddenly recalled that he had heard someone mention this family.

Bei Yiyu sized up Di Jiu. He believed that Di Jiu’s cultivation level was at the Dao Integration at most and he had yet to reach the third step.

“Not bad. You’ve killed the Bei Family’s Bei Jie, so we naturally won’t let this slide.” Bei Yiyu was thinking of a way not to let Di Jiu escape. Otherwise, he would attack when Di Jiu approached.

In Bei Yiyu’s opinion, since Di Jiu was so formidable, he must have an escape technique. If he was not careful, Di Jiu could escape.

Di Jiu replied indifferently, “Where is the Bei Family? What do you want?”

The Bei Family had grandly attacked the Great Ultimate Realm, and Di Jiu really wanted to know where that family was. When he was free, he would blast the Bei Family’s Defense Array. He wasn’t the kind of person who couldn’t care less after a fight.

“Ha ha ha…” Bei Yifei laughed. “How dare a mere Dao Integration expert be called Dao Lord? There was a Heaven Earth Realm in Heaven’s Beyond, and a weakling from the Heaven Earth Realm plotted against a disciple of the Bei Family. Do you know what happened? Do you know what happened to the Heaven Earth Realm?”

Di Jiu frowned slightly. Someone had mentioned this before.

Before Di Jiu could think clearly, Bei Yifei once again said with a burst of loud laughter, “In the end, the Heaven Earth Realm became a Quintessential World. You should know that, right? After you killed Bei Jie, his ring became the Heaven Earth Realm. This Heaven Earth Quintessential World came from the biggest realm beside Heaven’s Beyond. However, don’t worry. The Great Ultimate Realm will become a Quintessential World later.”

Had he been so vicious? Di Jiu’s killing intent rushed forth, but he didn’t even bother uttering a word. He raised his hand to grab dozens of array flags and then threw them out. The void square of the Great Ultimate Realm was instantly enveloped. Without activating the Strangulation Array, he activated the Confinement Killing Array.

Unlike the third-step experts of the Dao Abyss, Di Jiu did not pay attention to the two third-step experts of the Bei Family.

Besides, he was much stronger than the Dao Abyss.

“He he… How dare you even fiddle with the Confinement Array in front of me?” Bei Yiyu smiled disdainfully and took out his Half-Moon Wheel. As if he had lifted half of the universe, the wheel covered Di Jiu and struck him.

Di Jiu did not even avoid it. Instead, he sent over a Wind-Rustling Move.

Upon seeing that Di Jiu had dared to fight with him head-on with his divine power, Bei Yiyu sneered even more. Di Jiu might be a well-known figure in the Dao Integration, but he had never come across a third-step expert. Thus, he wasn’t aware of the power of a third-step expert.

His third-step expert’s domain was condensed by his own laws. Even without using the Dharma treasure, Di Jiu, who was a Dao Integration expert, couldn’t tear his realm. He had not attacked Di Jiu because he valued him, but because he valued Di Jiu’s Dharma treasure. He needed to get his hands on both the Heaven Earth Realm Quintessential World and the Five-Element Flags.

Boom! Boom! Boom! When the Heavenly Aqua Saber’s indomitable saber aura clashed with the Dao runes of the Half-Moon Wheel, the entire square of the Great Ultimate Realm exploded with Divine Essence and the Dao runes became chaotic.

Bei Yiyu opened his mouth to spit out an arrow of blood, and his face instantly turned pale. How was he at the Dao Integration? He was sure that Di Jiu’s Divine Essence was thicker than his and his realm domain was like paper compared to Di Jiu’s.

How was this possible? A Dao Integration Realm cultivator had ignored the domain of this third-step expert and broken through his Half-Moon Wheel with one saber move, causing him to sustain serious injuries.

No, that was not right. Di Jiu was definitely not at the Dao Integration. He was definitely a third-step cultivator. When Bei Yiyu realized that he wasn’t Di Jiu’s match, he informed Bei Ku that they would attack Di Jiu together.

Di Jiu did not give them any more chances. He drew the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush and wrote the word ‘death’ in the void. The Dao runes of the word ‘death’ crushed down and Bei Yiyu felt the space he was in become gray. All the life-force disappeared before his eyes and weakened.
