Chapter 867: The Battle of Laws
In a short time, the darkness around Di Jiu was gone. While he was circulating the nomological cultivation technique frantically, more and more darkness was removed.
At that moment, Di Jiu’s space was like a big hole being dug out of the boundless darkness.
This large hole without darkness and the darkness around him were very unharmonious, and the disharmony only continued to grow.
Just as Di Jiu planned to refine the darkness in his own way, a grenade seemed to suddenly get thrown into his refined space before exploding. Then, the darkness he had refined filled the space once again. The increasingly sticky, dark aura made Di Jiu extremely uncomfortable all over.
Countless formless needles were about to penetrate his body in the darkness. Di Jiu suspected that if he did not have a body that surpassed a Sacred Body, these abrupt formless needles would have torn him into pieces.
Di Jiu was silently shocked. At the same time, he knew that if he relied solely on refining the Dark Law, he would not refine all of them.
He opened his Dao eye. Countless twisted shadows seemed to be swaying in the darkness. Di Jiu knew that this was a divine power that stemmed from Dao Lord Darkness. His Dao eye could already vaguely see the circulation of the Dark Law. Dao Lord Darkness knew that he had come in and was going to refine the Dark Law there, which was why he had brewed his divine powers to plot against him at all times.
Di Jiu did not continue to refine this Dark Law or try to kill Dao Lord Darkness. Refining this Dark Law was wasting his energy. While he was stepping into the darkness, the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush drew the word ‘realm’ in the void.
This word was breaking tens of thousands of Dao, as the realm was drawn with Yin and Yang!
It was like a huge peak millions of kilometers tall falling outside the boundary and slamming against the endless Dark Law. When it fell, it was still a huge peak. The huge peak slammed into the darkness, turning into a vast realm. This vast realm crushed the black laws, producing a roar in the void.
Even though the Dark Law was crushed within this realm, it produced a cracking sound. The perfect laws constantly broke, and the laws in the darkness started to become chaotic.
“Heaven-Opening Writing Brush!” A cry of exclamation came from the darkness. Then, the boundless darkness rolled up and swept toward the huge ‘realm’ word written by Di Jiu in the void.
Even Di Jiu could sense extreme excitement and joy in this darkness. Because of this excitement and joy, the Dark Law fluctuated even more drastically in the dark space. Di Jiu was not a fool. He naturally knew what was going on. Dao Lord Darkness was excited to see the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, as it was indispensable to him and Shang Huijue. It was also an exceptional treasure for Dao Lord Darkness.
However, despite how much tumbling darkness rolled toward the huge word ‘realm’, the realm that this word turned into could completely crush it and devour the endless tumbling darkness.
For a moment, the darkness tumbled in the void and the huge word ‘realm’ suppressed the tumbling aura.
Initially, Di Jiu didn’t care. In his opinion, even if the word ‘realm’ was torn by the tumbling black law, his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush and the other words could still work. The word ‘realm’ had originally been a mantra of his Heaven-Opening Mantra, so there was nothing to worry about.
This tumbling black law seemed endless while sweeping over from all directions and slamming against the ‘realm’ word. Di Jiu could only continue to circulate the Divine Essence as his Spiritual Force continuously strengthened the ‘realm’ word. Only this way could his ‘realm’ word suppress the tumbling black law.
After half a day, Di Jiu’s expression changed. This tumbling black law seemed endless. No matter how strong his Spiritual Force and Divine Essence were, he could not continue fighting this way. When his Spiritual Force and Divine Essence couldn’t hold on, his ‘realm’ word would definitely collapse.
In fact, Di Jiu didn’t care if the ‘realm’ word collapsed. At this moment, what was important was that he couldn’t take control passively. He couldn’t let his Spiritual Force and Divine Essence break free from the control of the ‘realm’ word and write out a new heaven-opening word with his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.
Di Jiu knew very well that he had been hit by Dao Lord Darkness’s Dao. While he was refining the Nomological World of the Dark Law, Dao Lord Darkness was plotting against him.
Now that he had taken out the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush and written the word ‘realm’, it had happened to land into the darkness of the Dark Law. In fact, if he didn’t use the Heaven-Opening Mantra but the Heavenly Aqua Saber, it wouldn’t be so passive. However, it would fall into the trap of the Dark Law.
If he forcibly interrupted his control of the word ‘realm’ at the moment, then the collapse of the Heaven-Opening Mantra’s divine power would be awaiting him. Di Jiu was very fond of the Heaven-Opening Mantra’s divine power and had even exchanged the Yin-Yang Taijitu for the Heaven-Opening Mantra. Thus, how could he let the Heaven-Opening Mantra’s divine power collapse?
At that moment, he started circulating his Spiritual Force and Divine Essence more frantically and allowed his ‘realm’ word to get stronger. Each moment, he kept suppressing the endless tumbling Dark Law.
Di Jiu and Dao Lord Darkness both knew very well that whoever could not hold on right now would be the first to collapse.
…
All the cultivators in the Great Ultimate Realm knew that an almighty called Di Jiu had arrived. Not only was he prepared to construct a sect called Starry Sky Saber Sect in the Great Ultimate Realm, but he also planned to allow the Great Ultimate Realm to have its own Dao court. However, these were not the factors affecting the Great Ultimate Realm’s cultivators the most, but the fact that Sect Master Di was entering the black mist.
If Di Jiu was like the previous experts who had entered the black mist to find out why it had appeared, nobody would care.
However, before Di Jiu had entered, he had set up a Defense Array around the black mist. Until this moment, the endless black mist had not torn apart Di Jiu’s Defense Array and rushed into the area of the Great Ultimate Realm, which had yet to be corroded by the black mist.
As a result, the cultivators of the Great Ultimate Realm were full of confidence about Di Jiu. With Moon Traverse Divine Hall Master Ren Jisha and Winter Valley Master Su Qianqian promoting him, even though many people had never seen Di Jiu, his prestige had reached its peak.
Over time, everyone’s concern about Sect Master Di grew.
The Defense Array was not torn apart by the black mist, but the endless black mist blasted the edge of the Defense Array and kept tumbling. Even though it initially rushed out from dozens of feet to ten feet, it was now hundreds of feet big.
Although the black mist still had not broken Di Jiu’s Defense Array, people no longer had confidence in Di Jiu. Due to this terrible power, it seemed that it would only be a matter of time before the black mist rushed out of the Defense Array.
Some cultivators even heard cracking sounds come from the Defense Array, which made many of them feel that the Defense Array set up by Di Jiu should not be able to last much longer.
Some cultivators who had thought that the Great Ultimate Realm had hope started to hesitate again. Even those who had come back after hearing the news left the Great Ultimate Realm again.
Likewise, some hot-blooded cultivators wanted to enter the black mist to help Di Jiu. However, after they entered, there was no news at all. It was obvious that they had all perished in the black mist.
…
Meanwhile, Di Jiu looked as pale as a piece of paper in the depths of the black mist. No matter how thick his Spiritual Force and Divine Essence were, he couldn’t hold on.
Di Jiu didn’t quite understand why Dao Lord Darkness’s Dao technique was so tough and boundless. He felt that the other party still seemed to have extra strength. If he persisted like this, his energy would be stripped away sooner or later, leaving him with nothing in the end.
He definitely could not go on like this. For the first time, Di Jiu decided to give up the Heaven-Opening Mantra. Even though he knew that once he gave up on the ‘realm’ word, he would no longer own that word or even the Heaven-Opening Mantra, he still had to give up.
