Ninth In the World

“The Quintessential Essence of the Universe?” Di Jiu asked in shock. He had seen that in the Book of the World. It was simply the best thing in the universe to restore the Divine Essence.

Its effect was similar to that of the First Evolution True Dew. Compared to the effectiveness of the First Evolution True Dew, if a drop of the Quintessential Essence of the Universe was thrown into a huge lake, a drop of that lakewater would have the effect of the First Evolution True Dew.

Di Jiu thought that he would never even see this thing in his whole life. He had not expected that he would not only hear of it but also get the origin of the Quintessential Essence of the Universe.

Yi Shu nodded her head strongly. “Yes, it is the Quintessential Essence of the Universe. There is a pagoda on the Heavenly Union Planet called the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda. The Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda has a total of eighteen floors. Rumor has it that the Quintessential Essence of the Universe is above the eighteenth floor.”

“Anyone can go and take the Quintessential Essence of the Universe?” Di Jiu asked in disbelief.

Yi Shu shook her head. “No. My father told me that only one person obtained the Quintessential Essence of the Universe in the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda, and that was Dao Lord Ning. As for the people who went to the Heavenly Union Planet from Heaven’s Beyond, they wanted to get the Quintessential Essence of the Universe. Unfortunately, that was simply wishful thinking.”

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to control the Heavenly Union Planet even if you go there.” Now that Di Jiu knew the Heavenly Union Planet had the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda, he knew that if Yi Shu wanted to succeed her father’s Heavenly Union Planet with her strength, it would be wishful thinking.

Yi Shu said with a bow, “I’m going to the Heavenly Union Planet to take some things that my parents left for me. Plus, I want to see whether my uncle, Kuang He, is still around.”

Ever since her parents had brought her along to the Beyond of Heaven and Earth, the Heavenly Union Planet had been managed by her uncle, Kuang He.

Di Jiu wanted to go to the Heavenly Union Planet after hearing about the Quintessential Essence of the Universe. Moreover, weren’t Nie Changping and Nuo La still there?

“Let’s go. We’ll go to the Heavenly Union Planet now.” Di Jiu made a prompt decision without hesitation.

Before the other few people could say anything, an ice-cold voice was heard. “You guys can’t go anywhere now. You are the most arrogant foreign cultivator I have seen in so many years. Even that Ning person was not as arrogant as you.”

Almost as soon as this voice spoke, Di Jiu sensed four more people around. After sensing the strength of the four of them, Di Jiu’s heart sank and his Heavenly Aqua Saber landed in his palm.

At the same time, Ling Xiaoshuang drew her Green Radish Sword and stood beside Di Jiu.

She gave Di Jiu a puzzled look, as she did not understand why Di Jiu was unaware that these people had come here. Theoretically, that should not have happened. She was sure that Di Jiu had set up some things outside.

Di Jiu sent a voice transmission to Ling Xiaoshuang. “These few people have a Teleportation Array directly to Heaven’s Beyond. They did not pass through the array door I set up.”

Ling Xiaoshuang understood instantly. What kind of impressive people used to stay in Heaven’s Beyond? It was certainly not hard for them to set up a Teleportation Array to the Heavenly Union Planet in Heaven’s Beyond.

Apparently, someone had told them that Di Jiu had killed Yan Jinghuan, so these experts had teleported back as soon as possible.

The Teleportation Array to Heaven’s Beyond had exceeded Di Jiu’s expectations. This rendered the backup that Di Jiu had set up outside temporarily useless.

The four of them formed a semi-circle and surrounded the five of them, including Di Jiu.

Di Jiu knew that although he had five people on his side, only he and Ling Xiaoshuang could fight. The other three people would probably offer nothing in this battle.

Immediately, Di Jiu sent a voice transmission to Tang Beiwei, “When we fight later on, immediately use the Realm-Breaking Array Disc and bring Tang Xitan and Yi Shu away. Ling Xiaoshuang and I have a way. We’ll talk about everything else when we have a chance to meet in the future.”

Di Jiu knew that Tang Beiwei had a Realm-Breaking Array Disc of an especially high level.

Tang Beiwei, who felt a sense of weakness in her heart, could only nod. She had come here with a lofty ambition to ask about the whereabouts of her elder brother. However, after coming, she had found out that her strength was far from enough to protect her, let alone do any other things. If she did not leave, she would only hold him back.

Di Jiu sent another voice transmission to Tang Xitan and Yi Shu, telling the two of them to find a chance to escape with Tang Beiwei. Then, his gaze fell on the four people on the opposite side.

There were four people on the opposite side, two men and two women. The person who had just spoken was a late-stage Dao Integration woman with blue eyes, golden hair, and a voluptuous figure. It seemed as if her clothes would burst at any time.

Standing next to this woman was a beautiful woman. However, the area between her eyebrows was filled with killing intent that destroyed her beautiful appearance. Her cultivation level was much poorer, as it was at early-stage Dao Integration.

One of the two men was a bit similar to Nie Baichi and was also a late-stage Dao Integration cultivator. Di Jiu speculated that this person should be the Nie Family Head, Nie Changping. The other man had just reached Dao Integration and had even been stabilized.

Regardless of the schemes involved, Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang were in a must-win situation.

“Bold. Not only did you destroy God Manor of Heaven’s Beyond, but you also dared to attack my son,” Nie Changping said almost word by word, showing his inner hatred for Di Jiu.

After he said that, Nie Changping raised his hand and grabbed a handful of array flags. At the same time, he opened his palm and grabbed Di Jiu’s long saber, which had been pinned in the void.

Nuo La and the other two Dao Integration cultivators did not move. Obviously, they planned to wait for Nie Changping to rescue his son, Nie Baichi, before proceeding to attack Di Jiu.

Tang Beiwei looked at Di Jiu, waiting for his instructions. As long as Di Jiu told her to flee, she would flee right away. When Nie Changping went to save his son, that would be the best time to escape.

What puzzled Tang Beiwei was that Di Jiu had not issued any instructions.

When Nie Changping’s handprint grabbed Di Jiu’s five long sabers, his Divine Essence was spat out. The five long sabers broke free from the void under his array flags.

It seemed to know that Nuo La and the other two were suppressing the array for Nie Changping, while Di Jiu did not move. Only a light blue Heavenly Aqua Saber was encircling him.

Bam! Just as the five long sabers broke free from the void, the entire body of Nie Baichi, who had been pinned in the void by Di Jiu, erupted with a bam and turned into bloody mist before it vanished without a trace.

“How dare you touch my saber with that ability of yours? You’re simply overestimating your capabilities,” Di Jiu said sarcastically.

Nie Changping yelled, “I’ll devour you!”

While he said that, Nie Changping’s surrounding aura swept madly and pounced toward Di Jiu. At the same time, Nuo La and the other two split into two. Nuo La and that beautiful woman rushed toward Ling Xiaoshuang as that early-stage Dao Integration man rushed toward Tang Beiwei and the other two.

A terrifying Dao Integration domain aura crashed over and tore some cultivators who were closer into scraps. The other cultivators hurriedly dispersed and fled. Would they still dare to watch the fun?

Sighing, Tang Beiwei took out her Dharma treasure. She knew that she could not leave now even if she wanted to. In that case, she would rather fight with Big Brother Di.

Suddenly, Di Jiu’s voice echoed. “Leave right away!”

Tang Beiwei froze. Leave now? The Dao Integration domain had crushed the three of them. How could she leave? She could not even activate the Realm-Breaking Array Disc…

That was not right. As soon as Tang Beiwei thought of that, she felt her whole body become light. Then, a vast reincarnation aura swept over. She seemed to have seen a black wooden bridge get erected in the void. While holding onto a long saber, Di Jiu stood on the edge of the wooden bridge with one leg and both of his hands transformed endless Dharma techniques. At the same time, he roared furiously, “You’ve come for the sake of reincarnation! You’ll also leave for the sake of reincarnation! Reincarnate… Reincarnate…”

Tang Beiwei’s eyes turned red, and she even saw blood dripping from the corner of Di Jiu’s mouth constantly. She knew that Di Jiu was madly using an exceptional divine power so she had to leave as quickly as possible.

Upon thinking of that, Tang Beiwei could not care about anything else. She took out the Realm-Breaking Array Disc and her Divine Essence swept over. At the same time, Tang Xitan and Yi Shu were swept by the flare of the Realm-Breaking Array Disc, which shrouded the three of them. A moment later, the Realm-Breaking Array Disc ripped apart the void of the Beyond of Heaven and Earth and vanished without a trace with the three of them.

When the three of them, including Tang Beiwei, had just left, Di Jiu opened his mouth to spit out a bloody arrow. In order to gain time for Tang Beiwei, he had to lock the other four with his strongest divine power immediately.
