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.
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.
