Ninth In the World

More and more people from the Half-Screen Continent and the Polar Night Continent gathered.

However, there were no spirit meridians or Spirit Stones to seize now. Thanks to the word of mouth, everyone knew what Di Jiu was doing.

Some cultivators left, but the majority chose to stay.

Several days later, the ground started vibrating and a deep cracking sound was heard.

Di Jiu let out a sigh of relief. The two continents had finally merged together. Even though he had played an insignificant role himself, he still felt satisfied.

The merging of the Night Star Continent had made him feel something, yet his cultivation level was too low, so he was unable to tell exactly what it was.

Just as he was about to put away the two Defense Array discs, Di Jiu discovered that they had dispersed on their own by transforming into two Dharma treasures and integrating themselves into the ground.

Di Jiu believed that this was the repairing imprint left behind by his Master. Thus, he did nothing about it.

“Thank you for repairing the Night Star Continent, sir.” Not everyone was that insensible. The Half-Screen Continent and the Polar Night Continent had just merged, so everyone understood that this would only bring about benefits.

“Who dared attack the Defense Array of the Qi Family’s Commercial Building?” a furious voice yelled. More than a dozen figures rushed out from deep inside the Qi Family’s Commercial Building.

“Any cultivators that do not work for the Qi Family have 10 seconds to leave this building,” Di Jiu said coldly. “Anyone who refuses to obey will be killed. There will be no exceptions.”

“It’s Di Jiu! The man who destroyed several branches of the Qi Family’s Commercial Buildings!” said someone who recognized Di Jiu from afar immediately.

The news that Di Jiu had repaired the Night Star Continent had yet to spread. When they heard that Di Jiu wanted to destroy the Qi Family’s Commercial Building in the Sky Market City, throngs of cultivators rushed over to watch the spectacle. Perhaps they would even gain some benefits from it. The majority wanted to see how Di Jiu would actually resist the Qi Family’s forces.

“He he… This fella must be suicidal if he wants to actually target the Qi Family’s Commercial Building in the Sky Market City.” A cultivator who had visited the Qi Family’s Commercial Building to check on some Dharma treasures shook his head after hearing Di Jiu’s words. He had no intention of leaving.

Unlike other people, he knew what was going on in this building. A ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm expert had just arrived at the Qi Family’s Commercial Building a few days ago. Along with the original fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivators and second-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivators working at the building, the Qi Family currently had three Essence Soul Realm cultivators at its disposal. Was Di Jiu that brave or just ignorant?

When they heard what this cultivator said, several people who had originally wanted to leave stopped in their tracks and asked doubtfully, “Why do you say that, Brother Pan? I’ve heard that the main branch of the Qi Family’s Commercial Building in the northern province had to be rebuilt because of this fella.”

They were at the Qi Family’s Commercial Building, so they had to speak discreetly.

Before this cultivator could reply, a shop assistant sneered, “The Qi Family’s Commercial Building in the North Ridge City was attacked because a late-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator had been secretly helping out. Plus, the experts of my branch were not around at the time. The strongest person at the North Ridge City branch was only an eighth-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator. My branch has been looking for this suicidal kid. Everyone can now watch this Di fella die!”

When they heard these words, the majority of the cultivators did not move. Only a few people left the commercial building.

Di Jiu did not care whether these cultivators moved or not. When the 10 seconds were up, the Heavenly Aqua Saber transformed into a ray of blue mist and slashed at the leading ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator.

So what if he was at the ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm? Although Di Jiu was currently at the fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm, he was much stronger than when he had been in the Sky Screen.

When he executed the Wind-Rustling Move, violent, unyielding saber flares shot out and landed on the dozens of cultivators who had rushed over. Meanwhile, numerous saber ripple whirlpools exploded and several blood fountains erupted. The Golden Core Realm Cultivators getting attacked by this saber intent had no means of resisting. Even the second-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator was sliced in two by the saber flare.

However, this was not the end. A saber ripple whirlpool rushed into the Qi Family’s Commercial Building. Every person in the building who encountered this saber ripple was killed without exception.

The expression of the cultivator who had mocked Di Jiu earlier changed when he sensed this saber ripple coming over. Although he immediately tried to dodge it, the saber intent of Di Jiu’s Wind-Rustling Move was no longer scattered. Despite dodging, the cultivator failed to escape the saber intent and was eventually pulverized.

“You must have a death wish!” After dodging the saber ripple whirlpool of Di Jiu’s Wind-Rustling Move, the ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator of the Qi Family attacked Di Jiu with a metal pagoda.

Qi Zhiyi, who had also obtained a Void Lattice Elixir, was disappointed that he was still stuck at the ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm, half-way to the Void Spirit Realm. Meanwhile, both Qi Chenxiang and Qi Qi had entered the Void Spirit Realm as soon as they had obtained the Void Lattice Elixir.

His mood had already been very poor when he had come to the Sky Market City before reaching the Void Spirit Realm. Therefore, now that Di Jiu had actually dared appear in front of them and tried to destroy the Qi Family’s Defense Array, he was livid.

The metal pagoda expanded to the size of a small mountain and slammed into Di Jiu. The space rapidly became oppressive, while their surroundings seemed to be confined by this violent energy. Di Jiu was unable to escape.

If this had occurred before he had comprehended the meaning of intent, he could have only faced this metal pagoda head-on or used the Gathering Peaks Move to block it.

Now, however, he could easily find the loophole in Qi Zhiyi’s attack. This oppressive attack was a good way to deal with average cultivators, yet it was insufficient to deal with Di Jiu.

When Di Jiu stepped forward, a crack appeared within this confined space. With one step, Di Jiu stepped out of the crack.

Before Qi Zhiyi’s metal pagoda could land completely, Di Jiu had already punched out, using his Gathering Peaks and Furious Waves Moves. Multiple fist winds and mountains immediately engulfed Qi Zhiyi.

Qi Zhiyi was shocked. He had no idea how Di Jiu had managed to escape from the spatial aura of the metal pagoda. As he faced Di Jiu’s continuous fist mountains, he could only spit out blood. With great difficulty, he put away the metal pagoda and then threw it out again.

Di Jiu completely ignored what Qi Zhiyi was doing and punched out again. Fist winds engulfed the fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator, who had just taken out his Dharma treasure.

Compared to Di Jiu’s Quintessential Essence and Spiritual Force, the reflexes of the fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator were simply too slow.

Bam! The first fist ripple tore open the defense of the fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator, who could barely use his Dharma treasure to block it. However, the second fist ripple completely engulfed him. The spectating cultivators could only watch as blood exploded from his body.
