Ninth In the World

Di Jiu was also stunned. The Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean had originally been bound by the Defense Array and had used the life-force of Heaven and Earth as a foundation to set up the hidden arrays.

However, thanks to Ci’s techniques, this hidden array rapidly melted as if ice and snow had met the most scorching flame. At the moment, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force could clearly scan a green color across the entire Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. That color quickly became yellow. When the groups of cultivators who rushed up saw this yellow color, they immediately died and fell on the ground. In just a few seconds, they turned into skeletons and then into nothing.

This yellow color extended from the entrance of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean’s Defense Array. In the blink of an eye, it extended to a small part of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean’s continent. As it extended outward more and more, not only did it not slow down, but it instead became faster.

Di Jiu gasped. What kind of person was Ci? Why was he so terrifying? If such an expert wanted to kill all the cultivators of the Great Ultimate Realm, it would probably not take him much longer than killing the cultivators of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean.

The clothing of the few experts of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean, who had drawn their Dharma treasures and struck Ci, had turned into nothing. Then, their bodies corroded and they soon became skeletons on the ground.

Bei Jianchou was powerful and had a Dharma treasure he used for protection, yet his body was still corroded. The horror in his eyes covered his entire body.

Di Jiu felt his back go cold. He also wanted to kill people and had even seen some cruel cultivators. However, those people were nothing compared to Ci.

He could only vaguely see that Ci had used poison. When he permeated him with his Spiritual Force, he was shocked to see that it would also wither. It even wanted to spread to his body along his Spiritual Force.

Ci might have realized that Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force had scanned his attack range because he smiled slightly at Di Jiu. A moment later, Di Jiu felt the poison that adhered to his Spiritual Force vanish without a trace.

So formidable!

“Dao Lord Myriad Poison, the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean has no feud with you. Why must you be so vicious and wipe out the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean?” Bei Jianchou used his last bit of strength to frantically shout.

Ci sneered. “Other people can say that I’m vicious, but not the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. Compared to the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean, I’m simply good-natured. Go and die…”

Then, Bei Jianchou exploded and turned into nothing before disappearing in the void.

Dao Lord Myriad Poison? Di Jiu had never heard of this name, but he was sure that this person was no weaker than people like Dao Lord Calamity.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Explosions were heard before cracks were created in the entire continent of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force could only scan the withering darkness and detect a land without life-force.

Half an hour before, the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean had still been a sacred cultivation ground with abundant life-force and complete laws. Half an hour later, it became worse than hell.

Boom! The Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean finally exploded and turned into endless scraps that erupted in the void.

Di Jiu went silent. Although he had come to seek revenge, he did not intend to act like Ci and directly wipe out a continent. At the very most, he would wipe out the Bei Family and would not touch any cultivators unrelated to that family. Ci, who had come to assist him, ruined the entire continent of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean by poisoning it. This was…

“Brother Di, are you delighted about this revenge?” After the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean crumbled, Ci laughed and turned around to ask Di Jiu his opinion.

His face turned pale. Di Jiu also found his aura somewhat chaotic.

Di Jiu said with cupped fists, “Thank you for seeking revenge on my behalf, Brother Ci. If I had come alone, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been so straightforward.”

Ci had helped him seek revenge. No matter how he felt about Ci killing them, he could not mention it at the moment. Besides, in Di Jiu’s opinion, he and Ci were not considered good friends.

Ci chuckled. “You also know my name now. That’s right. I’m Dao Lord Myriad Poison. In the past, as long as my name was mentioned, even top-notch Sect Masters from large sects would curb their temper. This is because they knew very well that they couldn’t afford to provoke me. I also know a bit about your personality. You have a soft heart and you are overcautious. Therefore, you don’t like what I have been doing.

“However, if you knew about my past conduct, I’m afraid you would like it even less. After I experienced this tribulation, I changed a lot. At least, I do not kill unrelated people for no reason anymore. I wiped out the entire Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean this time because I owe you a huge favor. I’m formidable when it comes to killing people, but there’s nothing I can do to get out of the Dao Abyss. I don’t have many friends. I only have three at most. Although you have a different personality from mine, you are my friend. I’ll take my leave now. We’ll meet in the future…”

When Dao Lord Myriad Poison was done talking, he turned to leave.

Di Jiu called out to Dao Lord Myriad Poison. “Brother Myriad Poison, since we are friends, I have something else I need to say.”

Dao Lord Myriad Poison responded firmly, “Brother Di, please speak. I won’t mind what you have to say.”

Clearly, he had guessed what Di Jiu wanted to say. Now that he had said that he wouldn’t mind, he really regarded Di Jiu as his friend.

Di Jiu nodded his head. “Brother Myriad Poison, although my cultivation level has yet to reach the third step, I have my own understanding of the Dao. This time, I went to the Dao Abyss, entered the Mountain Gaze, and even nearly went to the Mountain Gaze Peak. Thus, I have a better understanding of the Dao.”

When he heard that Di Jiu had nearly reached the Mountain Gaze Peak, Dao Lord Myriad Poison was even more shocked. He knew that since Di Jiu had brought them out of the Dao Abyss, he was not an ordinary person. He hadn’t expected that Di Jiu would even be able to enter the Mountain Gaze Peak. If Dao Lord Myriad Poison could go to the Mountain Gaze Peak, he would have done so earlier. Unfortunately, his perceptivity was still lacking. No matter how ruthless his techniques were, going to the Mountain Gaze was a completely different matter.

“According to a saying in my hometown, a just cause enjoys great support, while an unjust cause finds little support. Ever since I integrated my Dao runes, I’ve felt that this saying should be ‘More support helps achieve the Dao, while little support helps lose the Dao’. This support is support from Heaven. Any universe that kills too many people without meaning will lose support from Heaven. Achieving the Dao becomes even harder that way.” Di Jiu did not continue, as he believed that Dao Lord Myriad Poison would understand.

In fact, Di Jiu had something else he didn’t tell Dao Lord Myriad Poison about. If he wiped out the entire Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean, the impact definitely wouldn’t be as big as it would be to Dao Lord Myriad Poison. Because he’d started to construct his own laws of the universe, he would definitely form his own nomological cosmic world in the future. As his cultivation level rose, the Five-Element Universe would have an increasingly smaller impact on him.

The support from Heaven referred to the support from the Five-Element Universe. No matter how formidable Dao Lord Myriad Poison was, he cultivated the laws of the universe within the Five-Element Universe and couldn’t break free from the restraint of the Five-Element Universe. The more people Dao Lord Myriad Poison killed in the Five-Element Universe, the more impact this had on him. It would not be helpful to his Dao.

Strangely, Dao Lord Myriad Poison did not retort upon hearing Di Jiu’s words. Instead, he said with cupped fists, “Thank you for saying that from the bottom of your heart, Brother Di. Although what you said goes against my conduct, I still want to thank you. I am aware of your intentions. We’ll part ways here, but we’ll meet in the future.”

After he said that, Dao Lord Myriad Poison vanished instantly with a flash of his figure. Perhaps, he knew that he had very different views from Di Jiu, so he didn’t even leave his communication pearl.

Di Jiu took a breath. He knew that Dao Lord Myriad Poison had not listened to what he had said. What Dao Lord Myriad Poison had meant was that if someone else had said that, he would have continued acting in his own way and might have used a Heavenly Poison Law to wipe them out.

After witnessing how terrifying Dao Lord Myriad Poison was, Di Jiu decided to make some effort to analyze Dao Lord Myriad Poison’s Myriad Poison Law. Even though they were friends now, who knew what would happen in the future? If Dao Lord Myriad Poison came to his territory in the future, even if Di Jiu could withstand the visit, the friends around him might not be able to do that.
