Ninth In the World

Chapter 676: The Ownership of the Green Lotus

Before Di Jiu could speak, Fan Yuan added, “Daoist Di, even though this Confinement Killing Array of yours is powerful, I can completely break it if I use a forbidden technique.”

When Ma Jujia heard Fan Yuan, he urgently said, “Brother Di, Brother Fan is right. That forbidden technique causes too much harm after being put to use. However, we’ll use it if we face a life-or-death crisis.”

What Ma Jujia meant was clear. He had the forbidden technique.

Boom! Since Wu Luo knew Di Jiu would not let him off, he took out a long staff and struck Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Array.

Di Jiu knew he could not hesitate anymore. Fan Yuan and Ma Jujia were telling the truth. Rather than having a life-and-death struggle with these three people, he would rather easily get rid of Wu Luo.

At this thought, Di Jiu said without hesitation, “One supreme-grade divine spirit meridian from each of you and you can leave. Otherwise, you’ll stay behind.”

“It’s a deal.” Fan Yuan did not even think of bargaining. He took out a ring and threw it into the Confinement Killing Array.

Ma Jujia also threw a ring. Di Jiu swept the rings up and put them away. The rings did not have any restrictions and there were indeed two supreme-grade divine spirit meridians inside.

“Go.” Without hesitation, Di Jiu opened a pathway.

Fan Yuan and Ma Jujia immediately rushed out without turning their heads and vanished instantly. Just as Wu Luo was about to follow, he was stopped by horrifying killing flares. At that moment, he had no choice but to take out the black net to protect himself.

After Fan Yuan and Ma Jujia rushed out of the Netherworld Corner Castle, they did not say anything. They just vanished in the void without stopping to discuss how they would deal with Di Jiu after he came out later.

Given Di Jiu’s Array Dao, nobody here could stop him from killing Wu Luo. Even if they tried, it was hard to say who would end up emerging victorious.

Fan Yuan and Ma Jujia’s top priority was perhaps to raise their Array Dao level.

“Di Jiu, if you want Ji Hongsen’s ring, I’ll give it to you. I have nothing against you. Why do this?” Wu Luo had attacked a few times. However, after being confined by the level-seven Confinement Killing Divine Array, he did not continue attacking. Instead, he negotiated with Di Jiu.

Di Jiu stepped out of the Confinement Killing Divine Array and appeared before Wu Luo. He then said sarcastically, “When you exterminated the entire castle, I decided to kill you, you scum. I also told my friend not to let scum like you come out of here. What about the future? He he... You have no future...”

Then, he slashed with his Heavenly Aqua Saber.

He was only dealing with Wu Luo, so he didn’t need to make full use of the Confinement Killing Divine Array. He wanted to kill him face-to-face. The Confinement Killing Divine Array was only meant to prevent this fellow from escaping.

“Dream on!” Wu Luo shouted sternly. A huge black net swept toward Di Jiu. He had now decided that he definitely could not let Di Jiu withdraw into his Confinement Killing Array. He was mostly worried that Di Jiu would hide there and deal with him by using the Dharma Array. Now that he was face-to-face with Di Jiu, he had a chance to leave after he sealed and killed him, even though this was a level-nine Confinement Killing Array.

Boom! The Heavenly Aqua Saber struck the void by Wu Luo’s side. Wu Luo could sense the space become disorderly. Not only did his domain shatter, but his huge black net also seemed to have lost its backbone and started becoming soft.

“You’re shattering the law...” Wu Luo was really shocked. This saber move of Di Jiu’s clearly had not caused any harm to him but it had ripped apart his domain and divine power law.

How thorough was Di Jiu’s understanding of the Heaven Earth Law to be able to have this kind of powerful divine power?

Di Jiu did not care about Wu Luo at all. His Heavenly Aqua Saber once again struck and cut out a white saber screen to seal Wu Luo.

Wu Luo’s heart sank. He had been sure that even though he was not more powerful than Di Jiu, perhaps he could still contend with him without the level-seven Confinement Killing Divine Array. Di Jiu had not touched the array, but Wu Luo could sense the threat. If he hesitated, there would be no way for him to leave.

At that thought, Wu Luo’s body suddenly ripped apart. When the dark red bloody odor burst out, his Principal Spirit turned into a black line and rushed out.

Pfft! Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber ripped apart Wu Luo’s body and his physical body turned into scraps. However, Wu Luo’s Principal Spirit vanished without a trace.

Di Jiu was not surprised by this. He had never believed that his level-seven Confinement Killing Divine Array would be unable to stop Wu Luo.

However, this time, Di Jiu could feel that his level-seven Confinement Killing Divine Array seemed to have a small crack. What kind of heaven-defying forbidden divine power was this? Before Di Jiu could think carefully, hundreds of nomological array flags sealed this small crack.

Bam! The small crack on Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Divine Array was sealed and the array swayed from the hit once again. Then, Wu Luo screamed and a dispirited Principal Spirit appeared before Di Jiu.

“Your forbidden technique is not bad. It almost let you escape.” Di Jiu watched as Wu Luo’s dispirited Principal Spirit chuckled. In fact, even though he could not seal that crack in time, Wu Luo’s Principal Spirit could not escape. After this level-seven Confinement Killing Divine Array, he would enter his Ninth World.

“Brother Di, I admit defeat this time. I’ll give you the items. I only hope you’ll let me go this once.” Wu Luo’s Principal Spirit swept out two rings and threw them to Di Jiu. He then said, “You won’t let me go for nothing. I know a place with something that can advance your flame.”

This time, Di Jiu did not even bother answering. He just swept out with the Dao fire in his hand. Wu Luo’s Principal Spirit once again let out a mournful scream before it vanished without a trace instantly. His soul had been truly annihilated.

Di Jiu indeed cared about anything that could advance his Dao fire, but Wu Luo could only dream about living by relying on this.

After killing Wu Luo, Di Jiu naturally would not leave the Ninth World right away. He still wanted to collect the Chaos Green Lotus that was by that white lake. As long as he allowed the Chaos Green Lotus to escape, it would walk right into the trap and enter his Ninth World.

Di Jiu did not touch the Ninth World but still left it at the entrance of the eight-trigram array pattern. When he once again reached the edge of the white lake, he was immediately struck dumb.

There was no sight of the Chaos Green Lotus. Could someone have taken it away? This was not likely. If someone had taken away the Chaos Green Lotus, Wu Luo, Fan Yuan, and Ma Jujia would not have looked indifferent.

Di Jiu frowned. Had he neglected something?

Unfortunately, nobody could answer his question. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Wu Luo.

Actually, that was not right. Nobody could have snatched the Chaos Green Lotus. If it had been that easy, it would not have remained here.

At this thought, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force earth-shatteringly spread out and searched all over the place. He did not extend his Spiritual Force to search for the Chaos Green Lotus, as he knew that, given the strength of his Spiritual Force, he would not find the Chaos Green Lotus if it was hidden in the void.

He extended his Spiritual Force and only captured the Heaven Earth Law of this space. He cultivated the Nomological Dao and could sense any subtle fluctuations in the law.

Two days later, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force paused suddenly. He had finally found a place with subtle fluctuations in the Heaven Earth Law.

Without hesitation, Di Jiu opened his Dao eye and a faintly-discernible green color appeared. He was ecstatic. This was definitely the Chaos Green Lotus. However, the level of his Dao eye was too low. He could not completely check it clearly now.

Di Jiu took out four Five-Element Flags. Unfortunately, before he could take them out, the green color under his Dao eye turned into a green flare and vanished instantly.

When he saw the Green Lotus vanish, Di Jiu’s heart sank. Since the Green Lotus had vanished for the second time, it would be hard for him to find it. However, Di Jiu’s disappointment only lasted for a few seconds before he felt ecstatic again.

Then, he put away the Ninth World without hesitation. A twelve-petaled green lotus was floating in his Ninth World now.

His stratagem had succeeded and the Green Lotus had been drawn into his Ninth World successfully.
