Ninth In the World

“Pfft! Pfft!” Two early-stage Immortal Emperors had already been struck by Di Jiu’s thunder balls and gotten seriously injured immediately.

Under Di Jiu’s level-nine Strangulation Immortal Array, he recklessly activated the Primeval Thunder Rock’s thunder element law. Then, he kept activating thunder balls and thunder showers steadily and throwing them out. Not only did he seriously injure two early-stage Immortal Emperors, but also four other Immortal Emperors. Everyone was injured.

Only Thunder Emperor Li Lei was not injured.

Li Lei was initially intimidated by Di Jiu’s attack indeed. He could throw out terrifying Thunder Origin attacks very easily and even his thunder showers and thunder balls formed a thunder net, which made him feel really shocked. He believed that Di Jiu was definitely not a ninth-stage Immortal Emperor. This was not because he looked down on his cultivation level, but because he believed that Di Jiu had now surpassed the Immortal Emperor level.

However, after Di Jiu had seriously injured numerous people in a row, Li Lei let out a sigh instead. He was sure that Di Jiu’s cultivation level had not reached the Immortal Emperor level yet.

The reason Di Jiu’s attacks were so impressive was because he had set up a Strangulation Array he could not sense at all and had the help of the Primeval Thunder Rock.

The majority of Di Jiu’s attacks were executed with the help of the Primeval Thunder Rock’s thunder faculty law. It was no wonder that he had come here by stepping on the Primeval Thunder Rock and did not care about the consequences of it being exposed.

As he understood Di Jiu’s formidable origin, Li Lei trembled in excitement. Di Jiu was not terrifying. As long as he seriously injured him, he would definitely be able to capture him today.

A huge Thunder Hammer transformed into a real Thunder Mountain that moved towards Di Jiu while the strangulation blade flares among the level-nine Strangulation Immortal Array swept towards Li Lei, ripping him apart by inflicting dozens of wounds in a short period.

Li Lei was even more shocked than Di Jiu. His sure-kill hammer move had seriously injured Di Jiu but had not gotten rid of his body as he had expected. His Thunder Hammer Explosion divine power was not activated at all either.

Nobody knew better than him why he could not get rid of Di Jiu. It was because his Thunder Hammer Explosion divine power law had suddenly been hacked apart.

Any divine power was set up by a law. His divine power law had been hacked apart by Di Jiu, which was akin to his divine power losing the soil it needed to survive.

This was a terrifying use of law. Not only could he set up Nomological Arrays, but he could also rip apart his divine power law with one saber move. Li Lei, who was overjoyed, tried to resist the fluctuation of the Immortal Essence. He once again charged towards Di Jiu, pounding with his Thunder Hammer.

His strength was far above the other three individuals’ strength. In addition, he was the first to make a move during the first attack. When the second attack came, the attacks of the other three only struck Di Jiu’s Defense Immortal Array.

A hint of an evil grin flashed past Li Lei’s eyes. Since he could break apart his divine power law, he would not use the divine power for this hammer move. Instead, he would directly use the Thunder Hammer’s force to kill him. He believed that, given Di Jiu’s serious injuries, he definitely could not take this second hammer move.

Boom! Boom… Boom!

The second hammer move and the other three Immortal Emperors’ divine power struck Di Jiu’s Defense Immortal Array at the same time.

Di Jiu’s Defense Immortal Array burst out with waves of vibrations, as if it was going to be ripped apart the next moment. No, the Defense Immortal Array had already been ripped apart and it was sending out cracking waves.

A trace of shock appeared in the other three Immortal Emperors’ eyes. This was clearly a level-nine Strangulation Immortal Array, but it had turned into a level-nine Defense Immortal Array in the blink of an eye. This Array Dao technique had already surpassed their perception.

There were shock and alarm in Li Lei’s eyes.

This had been clearly a level-nine Strangulation Immortal Array, and he had ripped it apart. How had it turned into a level-nine Defense Immortal Array in the blink of an eye? What did this Defense Immortal Array mean? It meant that Di Jiu did not need to spend much energy to hold back his move. He was about to face Di Jiu’s counterattack next.

He knew very well how formidable Di Jiu was. If this hammer move of his was useless, the most terrifying end would be awaiting him.

Di Jiu had been through many battle arrays, so how could he let such a chance slip away? His Heavenly Aqua Saber transformed into a long and a short saber flare. The short saber flare broke the law, and the large saber flare was a thunder blade. This was the first time he struck the Order-Breaking Saber Move along with other saber moves.

The second Li Lei’s Thunder Hammer ripped apart Di Jiu’s Defense Array, the short saber flare of Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber had already struck the Thunder Hammer. Although this hammer move was as impressive as ever, Di Jiu only suffered some light injuries due to the stoppage of the Defense Array.

Li Lei felt his Thunder Hammer’s force dissipate into the air, and the Heavenly Aqua Saber transformed into a 10,000-feet-long Thunder Saber Move that aimed at Li Lei.

This saber move turned the hall into ruins. Li Lei was alarmed and afraid simultaneously. How was this possible? He had not used any divine power for this hammer move whatsoever. How could Di Jiu cripple his Thunder Hammer’s force with just one saber move?

He did not have any time to think about this. He had to leave quickly.

Li Lei frantically tried to retreat, but it was too late for him. A terrifying Heaven Earth Law bound him, and he was frantically ignited with blood essence. Before he could rush out of the surroundings of this terrifying Thunder Saber Move, he saw a Jumbo Footprint trample over.

Bam! Li Lei, who had just struggled free from the Thunder Saber Move, was once again trampled back by Di Jiu’s Jumbo Footprint.

This was the spatial law divine power…

The Thunder Saber Move landed in between his eyebrows and ripped him into two halves.

Li Lei was unwilling to concede defeat when he saw the Primeval Thunder Rock under Di Jiu’s feet sweep up a huge thunder shower. Wanting to strangle his Principal Spirit into the void, he barely held back the thunder shower and asked, “How did your saber move make my Thunder Hammer lose its force when I didn’t use the thunder faculty law?”

“Do you want to know?” Di Jiu asked coldly.

“Of course. Otherwise, I will not die peacefully.” Li Lei struggled to answer.

“Die without peace then.” An even more frantic thunder shower swept over. Li Lei’s Principal Spirit yelled indignantly before it was killed by the thunder shower.

Di Jiu set up numerous Nomological Array flags once again and used a level-nine Confinement Killing Immortal Array to bind the remaining three people. Without Li Lei, they would not pose any threat to him.

As for Li Lei, Di Jiu would naturally not tell him that, between the universe, all living things were constructed from the law without any exception. Force was also a kind of law.
