Ninth In the World

Chapter 459: The Brilliant Lake Palace’s Terrifying Large Array

Di Jiu lifted his hands to throw out numerous array flags. At the same time, his Spiritual Force was setting up two Nomological Array flags in the void which would activate the Explosive Immortal Arrays.

Before Ye Xi could stop him, another terrifying explosion was heard. The explosion sent a burst of violent quakes under everyone’s feet. All kinds of collapsing sounds could be heard, as if this was the doomsday of the Brilliant Lake Palace.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The frantic sounds of explosions were uninterrupted, and the Brilliant Lake Palace’s Defense Arrays were like bean curd dregs being continuously destroyed.

All the Defense Arrays were destroyed, and everyone’s Spiritual Sense swept out without the slightest obstruction. They immediately discovered that the Defense Arrays outside and the golden stairway had been destroyed. The magnificent Brilliant Lake Palace was left with one lonely Brilliant Lake Peak and the Brilliant Lake below their feet.

“You must have a death wish…” Ye Xi charged towards Di Jiu frantically and lifted his hands to grab him.

Di Jiu did not move, and neither did Zhong Ao. Yin Wushang stood up and lifted his hands to throw a punch.

Boom! Endless Immortal Essence was blown up, causing the surrounding pavilion to get blasted into scraps. Ye Xi and Yin Wushang were slightly pale.

Regardless of whether those two gave it their all, they were evenly matched.

Di Jiu said softly, “Ye Xi, I’ll give you less than five minutes. If I still don’t see Guild Master Qu, I will destroy your Brilliant Lake completely.”

Ye Xi calmed down. Di Jiu had destroyed the Brilliant Lake Palace’s Defense Array, the golden stairway, and everything outside the Brilliant Lake. This was all because when Di Jiu had come, he had secretly set up Explosive Immortal Arrays that he could not sense.

He just sat there on the Brilliant Lake. Di Jiu would be incapable of destroying his Brilliant Lake no matter how capable he was.

Ye Xi told everyone with cupped fists, “Di Jiu has gone too far today. He committed a violent crime by destroying the Brilliant Lake Palace’s Daoist Defense Arrays. Please step forward if you are willing to speak up for me. Please leave the battle circle temporarily otherwise.”

Di Jiu calmly said, “Everyone, I believe you are aware of the reason behind this and of who was deceiving people with his power. Today, Ye Xi and I will not stop unless the other person perishes. If anyone steps forward to help Ye Xi, they will become my sworn enemy. Please leave the Brilliant Lake if you don’t want to get involved.”

Di Jiu would not be afraid no matter how many people stayed. He was much more formidable when he was at the Peace Hotel. Not only did he have the level-nine Confinement Killing Immortal Array, but he also had experts like Yin Wushang and Zhong Ao. Even though Chen Zishun was a fourth-stage Immortal Emperor, Di Jiu did not expect him to provide much strength.

Five Immortal Emperors walked to Di Jiu’s side, making it clear that they were going to deal with Ye Xi with him. What puzzled Di Jiu was that He Yi, whose arm he had severed, did not join Ye Xi’s side.

Di Jiu finally understood what was happening. He Yi was the Immortal Brilliant Elixir Dispensary’s landlord. This was Ye Xi’s business. One could say that He Yi was racking his brains for Ye Xi, which was why he had made a move to snatch his White Cloud Bound Flag. It had obviously been for Ye Xi.

Ye Xi had imprisoned Di Jiu openly for the sake of his reputation and had not stood up for He Yi. This made He Yi despondent.

He Yi was a Great Immortal Emperor, after all, so he naturally had his own dignity. Plus, Di Jiu was also very formidable. He had Old Zhong and Yin Wushang. Nobody knew better than He Yi who Yin Wushang was.

Moreover, Di Jiu had secretly set up large arrays to blast the Brilliant Lake Palace’s Defense Arrays and numerous buildings, causing him to feel unwilling to sacrifice himself for Ye Xi.

Ye Xi’s heart sank when he saw that Jie Di was the only true expert among the five Immortal Emperors by his side. According to his plans, there should have been at least 10 people on his side. Ye Xi was extremely angry deep down about He Yi’s withdrawal.

Even the two nobodies, Fang Qi and He Weiwei, who had been flattering him earlier, had withdrawn, feeling eager to leave the Brilliant Lake.

It was very clear that after Di Jiu had destroyed his Defense Arrays, most of them did not think highly of Ye Xi anymore. Rumor had it that the Brilliant Lake Palace had a Confinement Killing Immortal Array that transcended the immortal level. However, this was only a rumor. Nobody had ever seen it.

“Sect Master Zhou, what is the meaning of this?” Ye Xi, who was roping in allies, noticed that the Sword Shift Immortal Sect’s Sect Master, Zhou Bujian, had walked to Di Jiu’s side. Ye Xi’s expression immediately changed.

Zhou Bujian was not an ordinary Immortal Emperor. There were only six people on his side, including him. However, besides him, even Jie Di was not necessarily a match for Zhou Bujian. If Zhou Bujian helped Di Jiu, it would be a serious game-changer.

Zhou Bujian’s scabbard-less long sword buzzed on his back as he said softly, “I still have something to consult Alchemy Emperor Di with. I’m also very clear about what he said earlier. Guild Master Qu went missing in the Brilliant Lake Palace. Alchemy Emperor Di was in the right.”

Ye Xi’s heart grew cold. The Brilliant Lake Palace had one top-notch natural array indeed, but Ye Xi would have to spend countless energy to activate it. With Zhou Bujian’s addition, he reckoned he could only activate the large array if he wanted to have a chance to win.

Before Ye Xi could make a decision, Yaohua Snow Mountain’s Immortal Emperor Melting Snow, Mo Louxue, walked over to Di Jiu’s side with Zhou Bujian.

“Master, didn’t you say we should lay low?” Ai Qingbing hurriedly asked her Master through a voice transmission as she saw her helping Di Jiu.

This was no small matter. It was something that could affect the existence of their sect. Her Master, who had always taught her to be cautious, was being careless right now.

“Justice always prevails. There is definitely something wrong with the Elixir Association’s Guild Master’s disappearance back then,” Immortal Emperor Melting Snow told Ai Qingbing without the slightest hesitation through voice transmission. Only he would know the truth.

“Thank you, Sect Master Zhou and Sect Master Mo, for putting justice first in your heart.” Di Jiu hadn’t expected the two of them to stand up and help him. He had originally not been afraid of Ye Xi, but he was even more unafraid now.

When Di Jiu saw Fang Qi and He Weiwei try to leave, he chuckled. Then, he said not too slowly, “Fang Qi, don’t leave with He Weiwei. I still have to settle the score with you guys later.”

Fang Qi and He Weiwei walked even faster instead.

It was evident that Di Jiu was not afraid of Ye Xi, let alone of those two.

They felt a change in their surroundings after a few steps. A Saber Qi’s Confinement Killing Immortal Array had trapped both of them. They could not tell when Di Jiu had set up the Confinement Killing Array.

Without even thinking of asking, Ye Xi grabbed a green array flag and the blood Qi in his body started boiling.

Di Jiu’s spirit was roused. He was convinced this was the real Green Lotus Flag. He had a fake one and a real one.

A moment later, Di Jiu and the other people on the Brilliant Lake felt a terrifying Heaven Earth Essence Energy rushing forth. Even Dai He Hall did not possess 1% of this Heaven Earth Essence Energy.

Di Jiu was astounded. If he cultivated amid this top-notch Heaven Earth Essence Energy, perhaps his strength would once again soar.

How terrifying was the Heavenly Earth large array activated by the Heaven Earth Essence Energy?

Di Jiu then heard an explosion and disappeared along with the entire space. It seemed as though he was caught up in a kind of killing act. A moment later, a terrifying blade flare shot past his chest. He did not even have room to struggle. He was almost ripped apart by it.

This was definitely a top-notch large array that transcended the Immortal Array. At the moment, Di Jiu and the other numerous Immortal Emperors were seriously injured. Even Yin Wushang had been seriously injured by the large array’s killing flare, let alone Immortal Emperor Void Sword and Immortal Emperor Melting Snow.

Di Jiu took a deep breath. This could not continue. Otherwise, their side would be completely wiped out. This large array was indeed even more terrifying than Yin Wushang had said.

“Di Jiu, I can’t break through this large array in such a short time. You have to save your own life. I will definitely not be able to persist long on the other side of the large array.” Zhong Ao transmitted his voice in time.

Di Jiu did not pay any attention to Zhong Ao. When a terrifying saber flare once again tore open his leg bone, an activation array flag was set up. He was somewhat skeptical. After all, if he had not had the Nomological Qi Circulation technique, he would probably have been unable to activate the large arrays even if he set up countless Nomological Array flags.

Boom! Boom, Boom, Boom! The terrifying sound of explosions was heard as frantic waves rose. All the cultivators in this Confinement Killing Spiritual Array could feel the space collapsing. Meanwhile, the Brilliant Lake under their feet was tipping and quaking.

Ye Xi’s hair turned gray while he activated the Confinement Killing Array, but his face was even paler now. Nobody knew better than him what was happening. The Brilliant Lake was really being ripped apart by Di Jiu.

He had control of the top-notch Confinement Killing Array on the Brilliant Lake, and his heart was like a mirror. After the Brilliant Lake was blasted, he had suddenly lost control of the Confinement Killing Array.

Ye Xi finally understood that the Brilliant Lake was the true array core of the Brilliant Lake Palace’s natural Confinement Killing Array. However, when he realized this, the array core was blasted.

A ray of despair rushed forth from his mind. Why was the array core of such a powerful Confinement Killing Array so weak?
