Ninth In the World

Di Jiu finally sensed that something was wrong. He had definitely been clear-headed when he’d first sunk into the birth of the Dao. In other words, after he did not break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm during the Tribulation Transcendence, he’d started to birth his own Dao. However, he had been interrupted by the Ninth Dao Law during the process and then altered his course forcefully.

The Ninth Dao Law most likely had not wanted him to birth his own Dao. It had just wanted to alter his Dao path. The best way was to develop by following the Ninth Dao Law’s path.

At this moment, Di Jiu could clearly sense that the Ninth Dao Law had already stopped distributing the Dao pattern, which also meant that it had stopped altering his Dao path.

Di Jiu’s Starry Sky Art was still being integrated into the Chaotic Aura in the Sacred Yin Pearl and unceasingly killing off the Dao rune aura all over the Ninth Dao Law. He definitely was not being enlightened about the Ninth Dao Law. Instead, he was wearing down its Dao runes.

Sooner or later, there would come a day when the Ninth Dao Law would be completely worn down by Di Jiu.

Di Jiu once again received the Ninth Dao Law’s message. If he continued like this and used the Sacred Yin Pearl to kill off the Ninth Dao Law, the Sacred Yin Pearl would collapse.

Di Jiu sneered silently. Even if the Sacred Yin Pearl collapsed, he would also have to kill off the Ninth Dao Law. It was a time bomb.

Because he’d missed Xiuqi today and interrupted the formation of the Dao by force, he had sensed the Ninth Dao Law’s evil intentions. One could not guard oneself against such a change without any sound or breath. Who knew when the next time would be?

He had to completely kill off this danger now that he had the chance.

Upon sensing that Di Jiu had not stopped and had instead killed off more quickly by using the Sacred Yin Pearl, the Ninth Dao Law grew angry. It started to throb non-stop and the Dao pattern aura once again spread as if it wanted to complete what had yet to be done.

No matter how vast and powerful it was, the Sacred Yin Pearl was like the Ninth Dao Law. It was an epoch-making product and it had the help of Di Jiu’s Starry Sky Art that was in his Spiritual Sea. The two of them were deadlocked for a few hours, but Di Jiu had the upper hand after uniting with the Sacred Yin Pearl.

The Ninth Dao Law flew into a rage and relayed a message to Di Jiu. If he went on like this, the Ninth Dao Law, his Spiritual Sea, and the Sacred Yin Pearl would all perish together eventually.

Di Jiu was firm. So what if they perished together? He could faintly sense that the Ninth Dao Law would not leave his Spiritual Sea, as it had nowhere to go. In that case, he had to get rid of it. Besides, he would not let the Ninth Dao Law go even if it wanted.

The sounds of explosion in Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea became louder, like the message the Ninth Dao Law had transmitted. His Spiritual Sea would collapse sooner or later if he went on like this.

However, Di Jiu killed off the Dao rune aura around the Ninth Dao Law as usual. He would rather die than survive and let the Ninth Dao Law control him.

After his death, Xiuqi should be able to live her life safe and sound on Earth given her strength. If he was controlled by the Ninth Dao Law, even if he abandoned Xiuqi or lived with her, it would not be him anymore but an incoherent Dao law.

Di Jiu now somewhat understood why the Master of the Universe had wanted to abandon the Ninth Dao Law. Who was the Master of the Universe? How could he not have seen how powerful the Ninth Dao Law was?

The Master of the Universe had known that the Ninth Dao Law was not contented and could also develop intelligence. He had thus tried to turn this Dao law into the Qi of the Chaotic Dao Law in the universe.

It was a pity that Di Jiu did not have the foresight of the Master of the Universe. He’d actually thought that the Ninth Dao Law was really contented and would help him on his journey to the summit of the universe. He would then teach the Master of the Universe a lesson on behalf of the Ninth Dao Law and they would help each other gain mutual benefits.

That was really childish! A Golden Primordial Dao Law with such a strong self-esteem naturally thought it would rule over everything.

The arrogant and egoistic Ninth Dao Law did not care about the Dao Master of the Universe. It only wanted him to comply with his arrangements. He had unconsciously gone along with the Ninth Dao Law’s arrangements completely. He had not expected that he would discover its way of thinking and then feel unwilling to comply with it.

Di Jiu’s current Array Dao had surpassed a level-nine Immortal Array Emperor. He kept killing off the Dao rune aura of the Ninth Dao Law with the help of the Sacred Yin Pearl and a Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array gradually formed in his Spiritual Sea.

The Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array apparently specialized in dealing with such a strong Chaotic Dao Law of the Ninth Dao Law. The Ninth Dao Law’s Dao rune distribution rapidly decreased after the formation of the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array.

“Di Jiu, if this goes on, your Sacred Yin Pearl and Spiritual Sea will shatter and you will perish…” Upon sensing Di Jiu’s frantic mood and its own predicament, the Ninth Dao Law conveyed this message more directly rather than transmitting it.

It expressed it in a way that showed that Di Jiu and it were on two different levels.

Di Jiu was silently stunned. Despite its message, he had always thought that the Ninth Dao Law was a Dao law that could not form its own Dao body. It was still very different from a human being.

The Ninth Dao Law clearly had the embryonic form of its Dao body now, while Di Jiu only frantically tried to kill it off…

“Di Jiu, I’m only a Dao law. I don’t wish to control you. I’m just helping you condense your Dao. You should know that if I don’t do anything, you will form a very poor Dao system which will be a joke when dealing with the Dao Master of the Universe in the future.”

“Di Jiu, you won’t gain anything if I perish. Your insight into the Heaven Earth Dao law will drop by a few levels. You won’t ever experience such an improvement or gain insight into Alchemy, the Array, and the Blacksmith Dao…”

“Di Jiu, let me go. Let’s act like before and go our separate ways.”

“Di Jiu, do you really want us to perish together?”

Just like the Ninth Dao Law thought, Di Jiu really wanted to perish with it. However, they might not necessarily perish together.

The Ninth Dao Law knew all his secrets, so how could he allow it to leave with them? If it chose another person, Di Jiu would then be transparent in that person’s eyes.

As for the Dao insight, it had indeed been offered by the Ninth Dao Law, but Di Jiu had used the Universe Membrane to help his body transcend nirvana. This had produced a groundbreaking effect on his formed Dao.

The Ninth Dao Law did not want him to form his own system, so it wanted to change him.

The Dao system he had formed was a joke. Di Jiu chuckled silently. The Dao system he’d formed might not be worth mentioning now, but as his insight into the Dao became deeper, his Dao system would also become deeper.

The Ninth Dao Law clearly only wanted to stop him from forming his own Dao system.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The Ninth Dao Law frantically struggled. The terrifying killing intent of the Dao patterns spread and then rapidly struck Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea. Even if he perished with it, he would not allow it to control his Dao or let it leave.

Di Jiu spit out blood with every hit of the killing intent of the Dao pattern.

Within a short time, the large cocoon that was wrapped around Di Jiu turned red.

Di Jiu was frantically circulating his Starry Sky Art. The attack he received would weaken every time he killed off the Dao runes of the Ninth Dao Law, while his cultivation level also seemed to be rising.

…

“Martial Uncle Hong, what is going on?” The young man who had been attacking the large cocoon stopped. The large cocoon they had been attacking for nearly a year had turned red, as though it had been dyed with a layer of blood.

“Young Master, we can stop attacking it.” The old man stopped using the Dharma treasure before sighing.

The young man asked in confusion, “Why? This is definitely a unique treasure of Heaven and Earth and it might very likely be a Chaos treasure. We could sense the Chaotic Aura previously.”

The old man sighed again. “I know, but we have been attacking it for a year and the large cocoon has not changed at all. This cocoon apparently can’t be torn apart by us and we have no way to take it away either.”

After pausing for a while, the old man added, “Even if we were able to take away this large cocoon, it would only bring about a catastrophe. Such a large cocoon with circulating Dao runes cannot be covered up no matter where it may be. When that time comes, countless experts will flock over…”

“But…” The young man knew his Martial Uncle was right but he was not resigned to it. He would have let it go if they had not seen it. However, they had seen this priceless treasure today but were unable to obtain it.

The huge blood-red cocoon suddenly went berserk as if it was going to rush into the void at any time. The old man hurriedly pulled at the young man. “Quickly, retreat…”

The young man also sensed something bad. He took out a crystal ball to record this large cocoon and retreated at the same time.

Boom! An intense explosion was heard. The large cocoon directly rushed into the void and in the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace under their Spiritual Force. The confinement array they had set up earlier was as weak as an eggshell in front of the large cocoon.
