Ninth In the World

1,000 Liberal Points were equivalent to 100,000 immortal crystals. Although Di Jiu didn’t lack the money, there was a limit to his patience. He didn’t mind spending 1,000 immortal crystals to get rid of these beggars. However, since they had demanded his Liberal Points after he’d taken out the immortal crystals, it meant that there would be no end to this.

“You have to pay up, whether you want to or not. Although we conduct fair business in New Moon Commercial Building, we aren’t afraid of unreasonable customers,” said the female cultivator as she stared at Di Jiu disdainfully.

In her opinion, Di Jiu was at best a Great Unity Immortal. How dare a mere itinerant Great Unity Immortal act so arrogantly when he was locked up in the store by two Zenith Heaven Immortals?

The Heavenly Aqua Saber appeared in Di Jiu’s hand. His Zenith Heaven Immortal domain came crashing towards his opponents as he attacked. Since this would inevitably end up in a fight, he didn’t want to waste any more time arguing.

His violent saber aura engulfed the entire commercial building in an instant. The female cultivator turned pale as a sheet from terror when she felt the deadly aura. However, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t escape the domain of this man, who she’d thought was a weakling at the Great Unity Immortal Realm.

A blue saber flare came tearing down towards her when she suddenly realized something. “You are Di Jiu, the man on the wanted posters…”

Di Jiu’s saber had long been publicly known. After all, he had defeated a fifth-stage Immortal Emperor with a single saber move. As a merchant in the Lunar Forsaken Tomb, she naturally knew about this incident better than the average person. Every single commercial building in the Lunar Forsaken Tomb was covered in Di Jiu’s arrest warrants.

She hadn’t expected that she would prey on a madman like Di Jiu today. To make things worse, he had come to New Moon Commercial Building. He wasn’t afraid of Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty and he had even managed to escape from several Immortal Emperors’ pursuit. They really didn’t pose a threat to him.

Suddenly, a bloody explosion took place. The female cultivator didn’t even get a chance to struggle before she was torn to pieces by Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber.

It didn’t matter if she regretted her actions. She had already run out of time, so she couldn’t even think about it.

The two Zenith Heaven Immortals charged toward Di Jiu almost as soon as he moved. However, his powerful domain rendered them immobile. By the time Di Jiu had slaughtered the female cultivator with a single saber swing, they also realized that they had picked the wrong victim.

Di Jiu didn’t even wait for them to make their next move before engulfing them with his saber flare.

One of them was at the early-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, while the other was at the mid-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. Both of them had attained their cultivation level through excessive usage of elixirs. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been working as bouncers for a commercial building. The first thing on their minds as they faced Di Jiu’s saber aura was to get out of the building as soon as possible instead of fighting back.

Even though they hadn’t heard what the female cultivator had said, Di Jiu’s saber was too famous for them not to know about it. With a single saber swing, it had defeated a fifth-stage Immortal Emperor Realm expert in the past.

A saber flash as overwhelming as a sky screen exploded. The two Zenith Heaven Immortals barely made it out of Di Jiu’s saber aura domain before they were annihilated by his Sky Screen Saber Move.

Di Jiu felt proud of himself. He knew that these two Zenith Heaven Immortals were pathetic and their Immortal Forces were at best at level four. However, when he imprisoned them within his domain, they couldn’t even escape. That was when he’d realized that he was almost as powerful as an average Immortal King.

If he could grasp the law of time, or even combine the Jumbo Footprint with his Heavenly Aqua Saber Aura, he could return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City for revenge without even attaining the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Di Jiu put away the rings and all the items on the shelves.

Perhaps no one had expected that somebody would dare to rob a commercial building on the square of the Lunar Forsaken Tomb. As a result, even after Di Jiu had taken everything in this building and broken through all the restrictions, no one came to stop him.

After taking everything, Di Jiu knew that he couldn’t stay on the square for even half a breath longer. Without hesitation, he threw out a ball of flame and burned the bodies to ashes before reducing everything in the commercial building to dust with a single saber swing.

A Grand Zenith Immortal who was imprisoned by the restrictions appeared in front of him. It was a cultivator who was dressed like a vagrant.

He stared at Di Jiu, who was holding the Heavenly Aqua Saber, in surprise, for he couldn’t figure out why this man had dared to attack this place.

Di Jiu held his Heavenly Aqua Saber and threw two array flags towards the cultivator, unlocking the restrictions instantly.

“Thank you for your help, my friend. This place is New Moon…”

Before the cultivator had finished his sentence, the doors to New Moon Commercial Building were blasted open and a violent polearm shadow engulfed Di Jiu.

Di Jiu raised his leg and unleashed a gigantic footprint. Even though the polearm shadow had appeared first, it seemed to slow down countless times because of his gigantic footprint.

When Di Jiu’s footprint landed on the cultivator’s dantian and sent him flying while blood gushed out of his mouth, the polearm shadow was still far away from him.

After Di Jiu sent that cultivator flying, he turned around and told the cultivator that he had rescued, “I will take my leave first. You’ll probably have to run for your life soon as well.”

Then, Di Jiu used the Spiritual Force escape technique and bolted towards the entrance of the Lunar Forsaken Tomb.

“Incredible…” the vagrant blurted out excitedly before following him towards the entrance.

Several figures appeared at the gate of New Moon Commercial Building as soon as the two of them left.

However, they only saw a tattered building and the cultivator half-way to the Immortal King Realm, whose dantian had been shattered by Di Jiu’s footprint.

“Who did this?” an Immortal King Realm expert that landed in front of the half-step Immortal King asked coldly.

However, the cultivator just mumbled to himself, “It’s space law, it’s space law…”

…

Ever since the market had been formed on the Lunar Forsaken Tomb, no one knew when such an outrageous incident had last taken place.

Someone had robbed New Moon Commercial Building, killed two Zenith Heaven Immortals and a deacon at the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm, and even crippled a half-step Immortal King.

However, all the Surveillance Arrays in the building had been destroyed, so no one knew how strong the person who had done this was. Nevertheless, based on the fact that this cultivator had sent a half-step Immortal King flying with a single kick, his cultivation level was estimated to be around the early-stage Immortal King Realm.

New Moon Commercial Building was owned by Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent’s New Moon Chamber of Commerce. Although it wasn’t one of Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent’s top three Chambers of Commerce, it was still a reputable one. After this incident took place, even one of their Immortal Emperors was alerted and came down to the Lunar Forsaken Tomb personally.

“Are you sure it was space law?” the Immortal Emperor of New Moon Commercial Building asked coldly, staring at the crippled half-step Immortal King.

By now, he had already regained his composure. Thus, he kneeled down and replied fearfully, “Elder Yue, I am sure that his kick was imbued with space law. I am sure…”

…

Di Jiu entered the Lunar Forsaken Tomb. His arrest warrant had been placed on the square of the Lunar Forsaken Tomb. Any cultivator that entered the Lunar Forsaken Tomb would be rewarded handsomely if they were aware of his whereabouts.

Moreover, two Immortal King Realm experts were stationed outside the Lunar Forsaken Tomb, waiting for Di Jiu to come out.

Some cultivators who knew why Di Jiu had robbed New Moon Commercial Building sighed inwardly at Di Jiu’s rashness. Even if he hadn’t been able to tolerate this and had robbed New Moon Commercial Building, he shouldn’t have entered the Lunar Forsaken Tomb. The void was vast, so he could have gone anywhere.

The laws in the Lunar Forsaken Tomb were a complete mess, so he couldn’t remain inside for too long. However, if he came out, New Moon Commercial Building would be waiting for him.

…

Di Jiu naturally knew that escaping as far as he could was the best option. After all, he had ruined a commercial building in the Lunar Forsaken Tomb. However, deep down in his heart, he was well aware that escaping wouldn’t solve anything.

Even though the Teleportation Arrays between the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City and the Square Immortal Continent were closed, no one knew if they would be opened in the future. Once that happened, his Starry Sky Immortal City would be exposed to all the experts.

Running away would be useless, as he wasn’t strong enough.

Di Jiu had gone to the Lunar Forsaken Tomb for the time law. Therefore, he took out a flying Dharma treasure as soon as he entered the tomb. He didn’t dare use his Ultimate Cloud Auger, so he opted for a low-grade immortal weapon that he had crafted instead.

“Who dares to use a flying Dharma treasure in the Lunar Forsaken Tomb?” Two cultivators were dumbfounded as they watched the low-grade immortal weapon fly by above their heads.

Boom! Di Jiu was just about to tidy up the stuff he had gotten and check if there was an introduction jade slip to the Lunar Forsaken Tomb before a terrifying aura struck his flying boat.

In a split second, Di Jiu tried to get away. However, despite how fast he was, a saber flare still struck his chest and blasted him down from the air.

He knocked into a boulder as huge as a small mountain and shattered it. Even though he was a body-tempering cultivator with an Immortal Spirit Body, his bones were fractured at the impact.

Di Jiu quickly swallowed several healing elixirs, feeling terrified.

There was spatial dislocation in the air of the Lunar Forsaken Tomb. If he hadn’t been so lucky, he would have been torn into two.

Two figures bolted towards Di Jiu. He didn’t dare to stay here for long, so he went deeper into the Lunar Forsaken Tomb by using the Spiritual Force escape technique.

Even though he wanted to ask around and find out where the Time Crystals appeared, he had to heal his injuries first.
