Ninth In the World

Boom!

Every inch of the spear pattern barrier disintegrated. When the Nomological World Xing Jing’ang relied on did not affect Di Jiu, it was hard for him to resist Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber flare even though his realm was already the half-step Dao Realm.

A bloody trail exploded. Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber ripped apart Xing Jing’ang’s spear pattern barrier and created a mist of blood between his eyebrows.

Xing Jing’ang flew out. Before Di Jiu could strike for the third time, he drew out an Octagonal Copper Spinning Top and roared at the same time. “Daoist Di, I know the realm between this realm and the Upper Realm. That place is extremely weak, and only I know…”

Di Jiu originally wanted to persist and get rid of Xing Jing’ang with one saber move. However, he stopped in the end.

The fear inside Xing Jing’ang was then eased. He had seen countless cultivators with a saber as their Dharma treasure, like the Heaven Saber Sect whose every disciple had set off a carnage in the past.

Nobody here was more terrifying than Di Jiu. Di Jiu only made two saber moves and, in his heart, he knew there were two kinds of cultivators with a saber. One of them was a cultivator using his saber, while the other was Di Jiu.

He took out and swallowed numerous elixir pills. The Octagonal Copper Spinning Top protected his surroundings as he said, “Daoist Di, let me off this time and I’ll give you the entire Immortal Protectorate. Even if it’s part of the Square Immortal Continent, if you can refine this place and completely form a Dao World of your own…”

Di Jiu’s surrounding killing intent permeated the area and his Heavenly Aqua Saber once again sent out saber flares. He then said coldly, “If you’re not going to tell me, then forget about it.”

“Don’t make a move, I’ll speak. I only hope you can let me off this time.” Xing Jing’ang felt the Heavenly Aqua Saber flare and realized his entire mind was going to collapse soon.

Di Jiu replied faintly, “You have no right to be bargaining with me. Tell me how you construct this altar first.”

“This altar is accumulated by cultivators’ life-force and lifespan. Once the altar is completed, I will combine the Square Immortal Protectorate and form my own Dao World and attain a higher level.” Due to Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber, Xing Jing’ang did not dare hesitate.

Over thousands of cultivators in the surroundings shuddered upon hearing this. It was evident that the day this altar was completed would be the day they perished.

It was exactly as he had guessed. Fortunately, Xing Jing’ang had not succeeded yet. Otherwise, he might not necessarily have been able to get rid of him easily.

“Daoist Di…” Xing Jing’ang looked at Di Jiu somewhat worriedly, as he did not see any sign of Di Jiu letting him off in Di Jiu’s eyes. What was the point if he revealed this and Di Jiu still wanted to kill him?

He was at the last step of the Dao altar. If Di Jiu had come any later, he might have succeeded.

After his Dao World formed, he would attain the real Dao Realm. Then, Di Jiu would not be his match no matter how powerful he was.

Di Jiu, who knew what Xing Jing’ang meant, said coldly, “You have no right to be pleading for mercy. If I find you valuable, I will allow you to be reincarnated. Otherwise, you won’t even have a chance.”

Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber flare had already completely enveloped this space.

Xing Jing’ang sensed the surrounding terrifying killing intent aura and sighed. He knew very well that he could not escape under the circumstances.

“This is the weak realm node I have found. It is for you.” Xing Jing’ang threw a locale ball to Di Jiu.

Almost at the same time, the long spear in Xing Jing’ang’s hands ripped out a bright spear flare with a time aura frantically fluctuating around him. Even though he knew it would be hard for him to escape from Di Jiu, he still wanted to try.

This bright spear flare emitted a mysterious, esoteric spear pattern Dao rune that ripped apart the void, revealing a spatial rift that one could rush into.

In a short time, Xing Jing’ang’s hair had already turned snow-white. However, he did not hesitate or delay at all. He turned into a spear line and rushed towards the spatial rift he had ripped apart. His Octagonal Copper Spinning Top also flew towards Di Jiu simultaneously.

Di Jiu did not chase after Xing Jing’ang. Instead, he stood at the same place. The Heavenly Aqua Saber once again turned into a blue mist saber flare and hacked at Xing Jing’ang’s back.

Xing Jing’ang was ecstatic to see Di Jiu only send out one saber move. This saber move of his was impressive but would only seriously injure him at most. When Di Jiu came back to his senses, he had already rushed into the void. He did not believe Di Jiu could chase after him after he entered the void.

He would slowly take revenge in the future.

He was most afraid that in the instant that he rushed into the void, Di Jiu would suddenly secretly set up a Confinement Killing Immortal Array. Even though it would only stop him for a few seconds, it would be enough for him to be killed by Di Jiu several times.

He was young after all. Di Jiu did not fully make use of this secretive array to set up a technique.

Besides Xing Jing’ang, all the cultivators watching this huge battle were also secretly thinking this was a pity.

Di Jiu was really powerful. At the very least, they had never seen any immortals more powerful than Di Jiu. However, his battle experience was as lacking as a novice’s. Xing Jing’ang had ripped apart the void, so Di Jiu’s saber move that was aimed at his back would absolutely not take his life.

Nobody dared to look down on Di Jiu given his strength. No matter how poor his battle experience was, his strength was enough to seriously injure Xing Jing’ang and even make him give up on his Dao to escape.

Crack! Xing Jing’ang almost rushed into the spatial rift. However, in an instant, he heard a subtle cracking sound.

It sounded as if something had shattered between Heaven and Earth before everything came to a still.

During this stillness, or even in the interval, Heaven and Earth were once again restored to their original condition and he was restored to his original self.

However, he saw everything about him in this interval, including his future and his doomsday.

Life was but a fleeting moment. Xing Jing’ang completely understood at that moment that his future did not exist at all.

“Pfft!” A mist of blood exploded, Xing Jing’ang became calm as the murderous saber intent swept over. His Principal Spirit started to disintegrate and his consciousness also started to get blurry.

“The time law divine power…” These were Xing Jing’ang’s last words. If he had known that Di Jiu also controlled the time law divine power, he would not have done something so useless or tried to escape. While he had wanted to tear apart the void, Di Jiu had already made use of the time law to kill him easily.

Xing Jing’ang’s dead body fell from the void and was ripped into two. He had not had any life left for a long time.

All the cultivators in the surrounding space were silent. They had thought that Di Jiu had come here to throw his life away, but Xing Jing’ang had been defeated.

Although everyone had thought that Di Jiu had too little experience, Xing Jing’ang had died the moment he’d tried to escape.

A lot of people understood one thing at that moment. They had been slaves working under Xing Jing’ang and spent their life-force and lifespan to construct the altar for him. Di Jiu had killed Xing Jing’ang once he had come, yet they still doubted Di Jiu’s strength. Maybe this was why they had been enslaved. However, Di Jiu had killed the person who had enslaved them.

Foresight was limited to their strength, which was a direct experience for most people.

“Thank you for saving us, Senior Di.” Numerous cultivators hurriedly came forward to thank Di Jiu despite Di Jiu’s age.

Di Jiu was their senior now that he had saved them.

Di Jiu cupped his fists. “Fellow Daoists, the Square Immortal Protectorate originally belonged to the Square Immortal Continent, where it is the best time to cultivate at the moment. After I break the barrier of the Square Immortal Protectorate, return to the Square Immortal Continent and continue to cultivate.”

“Thank you, Senior Di.” Everyone seemed to speak in unison.

Di Jiu nodded and once again said, “I don’t want everyone to remember that I saved your lives. I only hope that you will remember how you were once treated and will not do something that infuriates Heaven or other people.”
