Chapter 316: A Powerful Fella

“Alright.” Di Jiu resumed walking immediately.

The group became even warier and placed their Spiritual Force on their Dharma treasures. They would immediately take the Dharma treasures out to attack the moment there was a slight disturbance.

It took them only a few moments to cross that distance of several hundred feet and see a humongous Life Transformation Array. If someone went there alone, when they saw such a terrifying large array, they would probably turn around and escape immediately. This fella, who could utilize such a terrifying Life Transformation Array to absorb other people’s Blood Essence and Soul Qi, would definitely not be weak.

It was no wonder that the body of every person or beast that had fallen in the Evil Beast Valley had disappeared. It was all because there was a top-notch Life Transformation Array there.

Everyone was silently impressed with Di Jiu, who had been able to leave this place unscathed the very first time he had gone there.

Di Jiu lifted his hand and threw an array flag into the Life Transformation Array. Everyone saw very clearly that the array flag was a mere level-eight array flag, which meant that the strongest Dharma Array Di Jiu could set up was a level-eight array.

However, everyone quickly reacted and remembered that it was impossible for Di Jiu to be able to only set up a level-eight Dharma Array. Back at the Immortal Ascension Square, Di Jiu had broken open Mei Bashan’s level-seven God Suppressing Array, which implied that Di Jiu’s Array Dao had to be at level nine. The level-eight array flag thrown had to be used as a means of misleading people.

“He he… The weakling knows that I can’t escape from this place, yet he still dares to bring people here…” A piercing, malicious laughter was heard. Then, a gigantic handprint reached out from within the Life Transformation Array.

Almost as soon as the giant handprint reached out, Di Jiu threw out a handful of array flags and hollered, “Attack!”

Di Jiu did not need to remind anyone. They had all taken out their Dharma treasures, as no one dared to keep their tricks to themselves.

Everyone despaired soon, though. Other than Bai Cangxing, Huan Changzhu, An Lingzhou, Zhuo Changgeng and Han Wushui, everyone else could not even move a finger. Even though some of them could move, their movements were as slow as an old lady’s.

They were completely shackled by the powerful aura of the large hand coming from within the Life Transformation Array.

The movement speed of the five people who could move had decreased significantly. The light shine coming from their Dharma treasures was as weak as an average low-level cultivator.

Di Jiu had set them up!

This was what everyone instantly thought. In their opinion, the fella within the Life Transformation Array was not merely powerful. He was an opponent they found it impossible to even resist against.

“Di Jiu, what are you trying to do?” yelled a second-stage Domain Realm family head, as he was certain that he would die there that day.

Di Jiu, who seemed not to hear his words, immediately threw out the Floating Flame Flag after throwing out the handful of array flags. These array flags instantly transformed into a whirlpool when the Floating Flame Flag appeared. This whirlpool was directly pulled into the core of the Life Transformation Array.

At first, Bai Cangxing and company also suspected that Di Jiu had set all of them up. However, after seeing the Dharma Array whirlpool Di Jiu had created, they realized that they had wronged Di Jiu. If Di Jiu had truly wanted to set them up, the Spiritual Force Field enveloping them would have disappeared long ago.

Moreover, this Spiritual Force Field had a radius of 200 feet, not 100 feet.

“Cut the crap. Everyone, attack with your full strength! Cooperate with Daoist Di!” bellowed Bai Cangxing, interrupting the Domain Realm cultivator who was about to accuse Di Jiu.

Di Jiu suddenly slashed with his Heavenly Aqua Saber, creating a blue beam, when two Domain Realm cultivators were about to be captured by the large handprint at the same time.

Roar! The fella within the Life Transformation Array finally sensed that something was amiss. His path of retreat seemed to be blocked off by Di Jiu. Furthermore, Di Jiu had dared to attack him with his saber. The person retracted his handprint and reached towards Di Jiu instead.

Di Jiu opened his hand again and took out all 6,000 plus supreme-grade saber weapons. The level-nine saber array enclosed the entire space. There was no reason to not attack full-force when facing experts of this caliber.

Di Jiu was different from everyone else, as his Spiritual Force was simply too powerful. He was being affected the least by the Spiritual Force aura of the expert compared to the others, which was why he could still set up the level-nine saber array.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Everyone else finally relaxed when Di Jiu’s saber array and the handprint clashed.

Everyone knew that they had wronged Di Jiu. No one dared hesitate. They all attacked the giant handprint with their Dharma treasures.

If Di Jiu was killed, then they would die here as well.

Without the imprisonment of the space aura, the Dharma treasures above the Life Transformation Array started to continuously flicker with light, and the sounds of Quintessential Essence explosions rang out continuously.

Numerous terrifying Spiritual Force blades swept out of the Life Transformation Array, killing some people with a cultivation level at and above the Domain Realm.

No one retreated this time. Everyone had experienced many life-and-death situations after all. If they were incapable of withstanding the test, they would have long since been eliminated from the cruel Cultivation World.

The Spiritual Force blades increased in number. Two early-stage Domain Realm cultivators were pulverized by the blades, while the Principal Spirits left behind hastily hid at one corner. The saber weapons forming Di Jiu’s saber array broke into pieces one after another. Di Jiu was facing the attacks head-on as his body was struck by several dozens of Spiritual Force blades.

The attacks did not affect Di Jiu severely, despite the bloody cuts made on his body, as he possessed an immortal-like Tempered Body. On the contrary, Di Jiu was delighted.

The sheer number and the power behind these Spiritual Force blades meant that the fella within the Life Transformation Array was extremely strong. It also implied that this person truly did not possess a body made out of flesh.

No matter how powerful this fella was, without a body made of flesh, he would still be killed by them jointly. Di Jiu felt fortunate that he had gone there only after he had attained the level-nine True Form Realm. If he had still been at the mid-stage True Form Realm and relied on the people who had come with him, he would have died.

A piercing sound was heard as a giant figure rushed out of the Life Transformation Array.

This giant figure swept out with the giant ax it was holding in its hand. Di Jiu was alarmed. Had his judgment been incorrect? Did this fella in fact possess a body made of flesh?

Zhuo Changgeng, who could not evade the assault of the giant ax, was cut in half at the waist, splattering blood into the air.

Di Jiu saw clearly this time that the body looked as though it was made of flesh, but was in fact an illusionary, condensed body. He lunged at it without hesitation along with the saber array. Di Jiu executed a Wind-Rustling Move with the Heavenly Aqua Saber.

Bai Cangxing used this opportunity to take out several elixirs, crushing them and scattering the powder onto Zhuo Changgeng’s broken body. Then, he pushed Zhuo Changgeng off to the other ring after saving him with a simple process.

Zhuo Changgeng was filled with gratitude. He knew that he would have lost his flesh if help had come a moment later. Di Jiu and Bai Cangxing had saved him.

Di Jiu knew why the person was so angry. It was because he had begun to destroy the array flags of the Life Transformation Array. The Life Transformation Array was the foundation on which the person relied to exist. It would have been strange if that person hadn’t been enraged when the array flags were being destroyed.

Crack! Another Life Transformation Array array flag was destroyed by Di Jiu. Then, the giant ax tore Di Jiu’s level-nine saber array open before splitting apart Di Jiu’s Wind-Rustling Move’s saber aura.

Just like when the giant ax had slashed Zhuo Changgeng’s waist, after tearing apart Di Jiu’s saber array and his Wind-Rustling Move’s saber aura, it swept at Di Jiu’s waist.

Bam! The giant ax struck Di Jiu at the waist, even though the attack was blocked by two of Di Jiu’s attacks.

Di Jiu was different from Zhuo Changgeng. The latter did not possess a Tempered Body, but Di Jiu possessed an immortal-like Tempered Body. Di Jiu frantically retreated after the giant ax struck his waist.

Bai Cangxing’s and Huan Changzhu’s Dharma treasures struck the person simultaneously before he could pull his ax away.

The giant figure shrunk significantly again. Everyone else hastily landed their attacks on the giant figure, making it shrink once more to the size of an average human.

Di Jiu took out several elixirs and swallowed them. He also seized this opportunity to slash with the Heavenly Aqua Saber.

This time, the person was unable to block Di Jiu’s saber move. The shrunk, fading body broke into many pieces and a shadow darted out instantly.

Di Jiu would definitely not let the Principal Spirit leave. Thus, he chose to attack it with a Primeval Thunder Pattern.

The Primeval Thunder Pattern landed on the Principal Spirit’s head. The fact that the Principal Spirit shadow only weakened slightly before fleeing again shocked everyone.

“So powerful…” exclaimed Han Wushui. Principal Spirits feared thunder-element attacks the most. This Principal Spirit was still able to escape after receiving an attack by Di Jiu’s thunder streak.

Everyone knew how powerful Di Jiu’s thunder streaks were.

“Where did Di Jiu go?” asked a third-stage Domain Realm cultivator suddenly when he realized that Di Jiu had disappeared as well.

Bai Cangxing sighed and said, “Daoist Di has gone after that Principal Spirit. We would have experienced a total wipeout if it hadn’t been for him.”

Everyone fell silent, as they all knew that Bai Cangxing was right. The battle had lasted for only a short while. Despite their large number of powerful people, they had lost two early-stage Domain Realm cultivators, and two other Domain Realm cultivators had been left with their Principal Spirits. Zhuo Changgeng had also been severely injured.

“These bones belong to an ancestor of my family!” Han Wushui’s exclamation drew everyone’s attention. They immediately discovered that the Life Transformation Array, which Di Jiu had destroyed, was filled with bones. Many of them exuded familiar auras. Evidently, the bones belonged to ancestors or seniors who had ascended to the Immortal World in the past.
