Ninth In the World

Keeping his composure without getting angry, Jiang Dai said calmly, “Di Jiu, you may have heard of me from the Ten Major Geniuses of the Dao World. If you realize this, you will know that except for the Ten Major Geniuses evaluated at the time, all the Ten Major Geniuses later on can only be considered to have slightly higher cultivation talent. At the same time, ten geniuses were far superior to the rest of the generation. This is a kind of natural law that cannot be achieved by hard work.”

Di Jiu did not know what Jiang Dai wanted to express, and Jiang Dai did not seem to be the kind of person who kept boasting about how impressive he was. Were the Ten Major Geniuses of Jiang Dai’s generation that impressive? At least, Di Jiu did not think so.

Not caring about Di Jiu’s foresight, Jiang Dai told him, “I should rank sixth among the Ten Major Geniuses that you’ve heard of. Let me tell you a fact: I will not talk about Di Xinren, who ranked first. Zhong You, who ranked second, has been deep asleep for tens of thousands of years. After coming out, he reached Primordial Chaos in the shortest time possible and then advanced to the mid-stage Primordial Chaos.

Monarch Li Tu, who ranked third, had always tempered his foundation. It took him only 1,000 years to advance from the Dao Transformation to the Primordial Chaos Realm. Xu Baishang, who ranked fourth, was trapped in a place for countless years. After he came out, he fully recuperated in just 200 years. He reached Primordial Chaos in more than 1,000 years and mid-stage Primordial Chaos in 1,000 more years…”

Di Jiu chuckled. “What do you want to say? Just spill it. Don’t waste my time.”

Jiang Dai nodded his head. “I said all this because I want to tell you that I have the power left over from my rank at the time. If I want to make a move, I can completely surpass the second-ranking Zhong You.”

“You mean that as long as you’re willing, you can reach Dao Integration and the third step in a short time? Then you can chase me so that I won’t escape?”

Jiang Dai calmly replied, “Although I wouldn’t dare mention the third step, I can indeed reach Dao Integration in a short time. If I do, even if you leave today, you won’t be able to escape as long as you’re still in this universe.”

Di Jiu chuckled. “I’m really not afraid. Make a move early if you want to.”

Ever since Jiang Dai had become famous, he had never feared anyone, not even the first-ranking Di Xinren. Even if Jiang Dai knew he was not the other party’s match, he would never feel any fear. However, he really did fear Di Jiu now.

Only when Di Jiu died could he be at ease.

Jiang Dai was worried that his Five-Continent Dao Pagoda would not subdue Di Jiu. In that case, it would be very hard to make Di Jiu stay that day.

As long as his Five-Continent Dao Pagoda suppressed Di Jiu, it would be impossible for Di Jiu to break free. By the time Di Jiu managed to do so, he would have crushed Di Jiu’s brains into pieces.

An aura of death swept over. Instantly, Di Jiu captured a familiar Foundation Order aura.

Di Jiu had entered the Five-Continent Dao Pagoda and was familiar with every Foundation Order in it. Regardless of whether the Five-Continent Dao Pagoda that Jiang Dai took out was the one he had entered, this familiar nomological aura could not suppress him.

Just as Jiang Dai’s hand was about to get close to the area between Di Jiu’s eyebrows, the Five-Continent Dao Pagoda suppressing Di Jiu moved all of a sudden. At the same time, a fist move was thrown.

Even though Di Jiu’s fist was very close to Jiang Dai’s handprint, this fist move of Di Jiu still condensed infinite Fist Mountains.

The Fist Mountains formed continuous waves, gathering like a mountain range and furious waves that were attacking the sand!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Divine Essence exploded all over the air and countless faint traces emerged in that space. The surrounding sandy soil and mountain stones were turned into scraps by this fist move, causing a huge ravine to appear.

Di Jiu felt his internal organs and his Spiritual Sea get hit by huge hammers. He opened his mouth and sprayed out a trail of blood. At the same time, every inch of his arms and bones shattered.

Even though Di Jiu sent out a fist move in a hurry, Jiang Dai did not hold an advantage. Every inch of Di Jiu’s arms and bones had shattered, but Jiang Dai’s arm had been turned into scraps.

Di Jiu was furious, and fear lingered in his heart at the same time. If he had not entered the Five-Continent Dao Pagoda before, he would most likely have been killed by Jiang Dai’s sneak attack with his Five-Continent Dao Pagoda. Jiang Dai was inferior to him in terms of strength. If he were at a disadvantage, it would be due to the Five-Continent Dao Pagoda.

This made Di Jiu realize something. At the same time, he knew that his Nomological Dao was not omnipotent.

Jiang Dai was shocked, as he had not expected Di Jiu to blast one of his arms into scraps while his arms were unscathed.

The only possibility was that Di Jiu was still a Tempered Body cultivator with a Sacred Body. Before Jiang Dai could come to his senses, Di Jiu took out a vast, huge mountain and threw it at Jiang Dai.
