Ninth In the World

Shang Huijue’s expression turned cold. The Book of Life and Death in his hand suddenly rose to the sky, seemingly disappearing from their line of sight out of the blue.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force immediately stretched out cautiously, and his domain locked his own space. He knew that he couldn’t influence Shang Huijue’s domain, so he would save his own life first. Apart from that, he was still setting up nomological array flags.

Regardless of whether the nomological array flags could be used, he had to be prepared. Shang Huijue was the most formidable person he had met, but he was not in the worst position because he wasn’t his old self.

After the Book of Life and Death disappeared, Shang Huijue was ecstatic upon seeing that Di Jiu hadn’t left yet. He looked at Di Jiu calmly and said, “You have guts. In that case, don’t you dare flee later.”

Di Jiu did not talk, but his Heavenly Aqua Saber turned into a saber screen that swept over. At the same time, he said with a sneer, “You want me to flee just because of this capability of yours? Have a taste of my saber move first.”

When the saber screen tore Shang Huijue’s domain, Shang Huijue’s Heaven-Opening Writing Brush wrote the huge word ‘none’.

At that moment, Di Jiu felt like there was nothing in the whole world and all the Heaven Earth Law had disappeared without a trace. That feeling of suppression rushed forth and increased to the extreme as Di Jiu’s Sky Screen Saber Move collapsed.

Di Jiu was secretly appalled. This seemed to be more formidable than his Order-Breaking Saber Move, which could only break the other party’s divine power law. On the other hand, Shang Huijue had formed a ‘none’ word and had actually made all the laws in the world disappear.

No, this was absolutely impossible. No matter how strong Shang Huijue was, he was only a third-step expert. After spending so many years in the Lost Dao World, he absolutely couldn’t be so strong that he would cause the Heaven Earth Law in the Lost Dao World to disappear. This was definitely an illusion. It was most likely a creative divine power. However, this creative divine power was close to its real form, thus affecting his divine power and mind. At this level of creative divine power, there was no difference between illusion and reality.

At this thought, Di Jiu closed his eyes and deeply sensed that the level of his divine power was too low.

Previously, he had been invincible because he had not met an expert who was at the same level as him. After meeting one today, he understood that his Saber Dao needed to be continuously strengthened.

When Di Jiu closed his eyes, everything in the world became clear. He clearly caught the change of Shang Huijue’s divine power law.

It had gone from ‘solitary’ to ‘void’ and then to ‘none’…

Every word seemed to have been bombarded deep in his soul before being integrated with the surrounding Heaven Earth Law. With just a few words, the essence of the entire world seemed to have been expressed.

This was a kind of…

A clear answer was about to appear in the middle of Di Jiu’s mind, but the word ‘none’ had torn Di Jiu’s domain and the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush had struck the area between his eyebrows.

Without moving, Di Jiu sensed that if he still couldn’t gain insight into this terrifying divine power of Shang Huijue now, it would be too hard to do that after today.

If he couldn’t understand this kind of exceptional divine power, he would lose this fight.

Upon seeing that his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush was about to tear the area between Di Jiu’s eyebrows and Di Jiu still didn’t move, Shang Huijue was temporarily ecstatic. He frantically used the Dao runes of his divine power.

Once this Dao rune of the divine power was activated, it was like a lamp in the darkness that allowed Di Jiu to understand immediately. He opened his eyes and his figure forcibly ducked to the side.

The lost laws once again returned to this space, while Di Jiu regained his freedom.

“Pfft!” The Heaven-Opening Writing Brush landed on the left shoulder of Di Jiu and cut down to the front of his waist. The writing brush seemed to have hacked apart one of his arms and shoulder. As a result, Di Jiu stepped back and his mind became clear.

This was definitely the Heaven-Opening Mantra that fit the Heaven Earth Dao runes as though it had been born along with Heaven and Earth. This divine power of Shang Huijue should be the Heaven-Opening Mantra.

Upon seeing that Di Jiu’s shoulders were not cut by his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, Shang Huijue looked at Di Jiu in shock. This was impossible… Whoever was struck by his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush would definitely be cut in pieces. No physical body could withstand his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush unless…

Shang Huijue, who had understood, looked at Di Jiu in astonishment. “Your Tempered Body has actually become a Sacred Body…”

Di Jiu smiled faintly. “Your Heaven-Opening Mantra is not bad either. Show me now whether your Heaven-Opening Mantra is stronger than my saber.”

While he said that, Di Jiu once again slashed with his saber. This was Di Jiu’s Wind-Rustling Move. In fact, compared to the Sky Screen Saber Move, the Wind-Rustling Move was somewhat weaker.

Di Jiu executed this saber move so that he could see whether his guess was correct.

Shang Huijue’s eyes focused, seemingly forgetting about this saber move of Di Jiu. He asked in shock, “How did you know about the Heaven-Opening Mantra?”

“Save your nonsense,” Di Jiu replied sarcastically. HIs Wind-Rustling Move had transformed into a sharp saber aura that carried an indomitable aura and swept with a desolate killing aura all over.

Shang Huijue snorted and drew the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush again. The new huge ink word ‘Yin’ condensed in the void quickly.

The Heaven Earth Law once again changed and the Yin Qi spread over. Di Jiu sensed that his Wind-Rustling Move would be corroded by this Yin Qi thoroughly.

Based on the outcome of his Heavenly Aqua Saber previously, Di Jiu should immediately withdraw the saber and draw the Void Mountain. Only the Void Mountain had the fine distinction to collide with Shang Huijue’s Heaven-Opening Mantra.

However, Di Jiu didn’t change the saber aura of the Wind-Rustling Move. Instead, he condensed his Dao eye.

Just as Di Jiu had expected, once he opened his Dao eye, he immediately saw a line of light under the ‘Yin’ word.

Regardless of the flaw of the Heaven-Opening Mantra or whether Shang Huijue had complete control over it, Di Jiu wouldn’t be polite. The Wind-Rustling Move’s saber aura twisted and still transformed into an indomitable saber aura that was sent out.

At the same time, Di Jiu struck with the Void Mountain.

The Heavenly Aqua Saber, which had an indomitable killing aura, seemed to have not encountered the ‘Yin’ word that was going to corrode the soul into Yin Qi and thus slipped by. The divine power of the ‘Yin’ word struck Di Jiu while the Heavenly Aqua Saber slashed at Shang Huijue.

The cold wind blew, and the water ran cold!

The Wind-Rustling Move had to draw blood once it was executed!

“This is impossible!” When the Heavenly Aqua Saber landed on the area between Shang Huijue’s eyebrows, Shang Huijue shouted in shock.

His Heaven-Opening Mantra had never encountered such a situation. After it clashed with Di Jiu’s saber aura, it did not influence it. Instead, Di Jiu’s saber move had broken through the Heaven-Opening Mantra to the area between his eyebrows. If the mantra had been truly attacked, that would have been fine. After all, as long as the mantra was attacked, he would know.

However, his mantra hadn’t been attacked. Instead, Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber had slashed at the area between his eyebrows.

The bitter advancement, which had happened without the slightest retreat, was crushed. At that moment, Shang Huijue could only forcibly break away from the saber aura to avoid it. Despite that, the Heavenly Aqua Saber still hacked Shang Huijue’s left arm.

“Pfft!” Blood exploded as though this was retribution. Previously, his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush had nearly hacked Di Jiu’s arm and shoulder. However, Di Jiu’s saber move had sturdily hacked his arm. He didn’t have a strong Tempered Body like Di Jiu.

Boom! Divine Essence exploded all over. The ‘Yin’ word in the sky just struck the void and the Yin Qi dissipated. The Heaven-Opening Writing Brush clashed with the Void Mountain. As a result, fluctuations of Dao runes surged in the void again.

Before his arm landed on the ground, Shang Huijue took his arm and joined it again. At that moment, the anger in his eyes seemed ready to ignite the whole universe. Di Jiu’s saber move had infuriated him.

He sent out hand seals and the sky suddenly darkened. The Book of Life and Death had turned into a vast Heavenly Dao aura. This Heavenly Dao aura, which controlled life and death, was crushed down, locking Di Jiu’s space.
