Ninth In the World

Chapter 470: Battling Alone

“Alchemy Emperor Di, Daoist Zhong has also gone over. The Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s current force is very weak. We’re only relying on the Defense Array…”

Before Mi Ji could finish, Di Jiu understood what he meant. He was worried he would also go.

Di Jiu was going to say that he would not leave temporarily, but he saw a fire-red flying sword heading over. Mi Ji caught the flying sword and his Spiritual Force scanned it, his face changing color.

Di Jiu had already seen the contents without even needing Mi Ji to hand the flying sword over to him. A great Void Beast Tide was charging toward the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

Di Jiu would not have believed it if nobody had attracted the Beast Tide over.

Mi Ji had just said earlier that the Beast Tide was here and countless rays had come charging in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s direction. Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force could already capture the sparse demon beast shadow.

“City Lord Mi, the Void Beast Tide is here…” Meng Qianqian hurriedly walked over and saw Di Jiu.

“Alchemy Emperor Di, you’re back…” Meng Qianqian was definitely pleasantly surprised to see that Di Jiu was back.

Her Eternal Moon Building was different from other Chambers of Commerce. She only did business in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. If the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City was destroyed by the Beast Tide, her Eternal Moon Building would also be destroyed.

Di Jiu increased her confidence greatly with his return. Di Jiu’s strength was probably much less than hers, but in her opinion, he was not someone to be provoked.

A few Immortal Emperors had provoked Di Jiu at the auction house and, in the end, Di Jiu had purchased all the quality items and the immortal emperors had been at their wit’s end.

Later on, she had followed seven Immortal Emperors and 10 Immortal Supremacies to the Peace Hotel to provoke Di Jiu. If she had not compensated by throwing up blood, she would not even have dared to make a move. She reckoned she would not have existed on Earth anymore. She had learned a lesson from the mistakes of New Moon Chamber of Commerce’s Bai Ye and Buzhou Immortal Sect’s Sect Master, Xiling Yuanyi.

If this was still not enough to make her believe that Di Jiu was not someone to be provoked, the Brilliant Lake Palace’s fate decades ago was an even better example.

Di Jiu was still here, and his cultivation level was even higher. Where was the Brilliant Lake Palace? Where was Ye Xi, the top of the Major Immortal Continent in Brilliant Lake Palace?

Di Jiu nodded his head and told Meng Qianqian and Mi Ji, “You guys have the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City’s array flags. When the time comes, you will activate the killing array flags and control the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Strangulation Immortal Array. I will be coordinating everything from the sidelines.”

“Alchemy Emperor Di, don’t worry,” Meng Qianqian and Mi Ji answered at the same time.

Di Jiu started to set up Nomological Array flags. His Nomological Array flags did not require top-notch materials. They only required an understanding of all kinds of Foundation Orders.

Nomological Array flags were set up by Di Jiu one after another, rapidly forming a Strangulation Array.

At the moment, sporadic void beasts had already arrived around the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City. When Di Jiu saw two void centipedes, his heart sank a little.

The two void centipedes, which were level-five immortal demon beasts, were killed by Mi Ji’s wind blade. However, there were numerous endless void demon beasts close together in his Spiritual Force zone.

They formed a solid shape, so one could imagine that no matter how powerful the Defense Arrays were, they would probably be useless against this terrifying Beast Tide.

Di Jiu started to set up the Thunder Element Nomological Array flags. The best way was not to let these endless demon beasts near the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

At the moment, Meng Qianqian and Mi Ji had turned pale. This was not the first Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City Beast Tide. They had experienced this before.

However, what was this Beast Tide compared to the ones they had experienced in the past? Those had been composed by a group of beasts at most.

The real Beast Tide was in front of their eyes. Endless demon beasts were coming from all directions. The Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City would perhaps be destroyed by this terrifying, concentrated Beast Tide.

“Alchemy Emperor Di, we might not be able to resist such a terrifying Beast Tide…” Meng Qianqian’s face was somewhat pale.

She could see several level-nine immortal demon beasts.

A level-nine immortal demon beast was akin to an Immortal Emperor expert. Regardless of how strong the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Arrays were, they could not resist.

Mi Ji’s face was pale, and her lips were trembling.

If these demon beasts covered the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, even with a cultivation level of an Immortal Emperor, they could only dream of leaving.

A number of people fled slowly. Cultivators who had not entered the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City were swept by this Beast Tide and immediately disappeared without a trace.

Di Jiu did not bother saying anything. He just kept throwing array flags. At the same time, he was setting up Nomological Array flags.

Meanwhile, Di Jiu took out 20 high-grade immortal spirit meridians, including one high-grade thunder faculty immortal spirit meridian. Di Jiu also set up the Immortal City’s Defense Array flags, the Seven-Star Aqua Flag, the Floating Flame Flag, as well as the White Cloud Bound Flag.

He took out the Green Lotus Flag, as he had not refined it yet.

Di Jiu threw three of the Five-Element Flags. In the meantime, the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Arrays and the Strangulation Immortal Arrays were activated completely.

A faint flare flowed around outside the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City, carrying a hint of blue amid its fluctuation.

Boom! Those endless void immortal demon beasts finally exploded on the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Arrays, making the entire city shake. A thick void blood aura circulated, causing people to feel sick.

Meng Qianqian was already prepared to flee at any time. If these void demon beasts ripped apart the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City’s Defense Arrays, she would immediately charge towards the Teleportation Array and teleport away.

Those ordinary cultivators were already covered in cold sweat. Meng Qianqian and Mi Ji had a chance to leave, but they did not even have a chance to do so.

The Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Arrays certainly could not resist such terrifying void demon beasts.

However, a moment later, everyone was stunned. A mist of blood exploded everywhere in the void and the endless demon beasts turned into bloody mist when they were thousands of feet away from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Arrays.

“This is…” Meng Qianqian, Mi Ji, and the others watched rings and rings of strangulation flare get activated in shock. Even level-six immortal demon beasts could not resist.

The Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Arrays had been altered by Di Jiu, but they had not noticed at the time. In any case, Di Jiu had just altered level-nine Defense Arrays to control the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City’s Defense Arrays.

They now knew how wrong they had been at the time.

Even though these were all level-nine Immortal Defense Arrays, they were totally different from the original Defense Arrays.

“Alchemy Emperor Di, I’m afraid the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City was in danger this time. Only level-seven and stronger void demon beasts came…” Mi Ji was still excited for dozens of breaths. When his Spiritual Force scanned the endless level-seven and stronger void immortal demon beasts that were heading over, he felt almost desperate.

No matter how impressive Di Jiu’s Strangulation Immortal Array was, it was also unable to resist so many level-seven immortal demon beasts.

“Do your own job well.” Di Jiu’s tone was somewhat cold. The array flags and Nomological Array flags in his hands were still being set up continuously.

Although Mi Ji was more rational than Qu Hen and knew how to save himself, Di Jiu was sure that Mi Ji’s achievements could not hold a candle to Qu Hen’s. That was because Mi Ji lacked a cultivator’s perseverance.

As Mi Ji had expected, led by dozens of level-nine demons, tens of thousands of level-seven void double-horned immortal demon wolves directly broke through Di Jiu’s first Strangulation Array and went straight to the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City’s Defense Arrays.

Meng Qianqian took several steps back subconsciously. She was only a fourth-stage Immortal Emperor, so these formidable level-nine demons could kill her.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Thunder streaks appeared close together in the sky in waves. The level-seven demon wolves who were charging ahead were struck and forced to fly out. As for the level-seven and weaker immortal demon beasts, they did not even get a chance to approach.

That was so powerful! Meng Qianqian stopped in her tracks.

She had been really startled by Di Jiu’s valiant nature. Up until now, Di Jiu had been battling alone with the help of large arrays that were controlled by him.

Although she and the others had tried to help, they really could not be of much help. The Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s cultivators were nothing compared to the void immortal demon beasts’ cultivation level, even in numbers.

Even if all the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s cultivators went out, they would probably not be enough for these void immortal demon beasts to bite with their teeth.

She was startled by Di Jiu. His valiant nature aside, she had not seen how he controlled the thunder streaks and attacked up until now.

Meng Qianqian naturally was unable to make out the Nomological Array flags Di Jiu set up.

What stunned her and the remaining cultivators in the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City was that Di Jiu actually charged out of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Array and faced directly those endless void demon beasts.

“What is Alchemy Emperor Di doing?” Mi Ji hurriedly went to Meng Qianqian’s side and shouted urgently.

Meng Qianqian shook her head, as she did not know either.

Di Jiu couldn’t not come out. He had limited time to set up the Thunder Killing Immortal Arrays with the help of three of the Five-Element Flags. There were only level-nine immortal arrays, which were barely enough to deal with level-eight immortal demon beasts. Dealing with level-nine immortal demons was even harder.

If he had some more time, he would definitely set up an even higher level of Thunder Killing Immortal Arrays. Unfortunately, he did not have that much time. He had to enter this Thunder Killing Large Array if he wanted to allow this array to become much stronger.

A few level-nine immortal demons yelled upon seeing that Di Jiu had dared to charge out of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. They directly braved the endless thunder streaks and charged towards him.

Di Jiu forced himself to calm down and opened his palms. The Primeval Thunder Rock fell under his foot and Thunder Nomological Arrays flags started being set up one after another.
