Even Di Jiu was shocked when he arrived at the Great Ultimate Realm for the second time. When he extended his Spiritual Force, close to half of the area within his Spiritual Force’s range was enveloped by darkness.
Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao. With a sweep of his Spiritual Force, he knew immediately that Dao Lord Po Xu’s guess was right: All this had most likely been caused by Dao Lord Darkness. Unlike other people’s Spiritual Force, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force could clearly permeate this black mist, although it could not pierce it very deeply. Still, he realized that the black mist was a form of law.
He had never come into contact with the Dark Law but could sense that this was a completely new law, which should be the one Dark Law Dao Lord Po Xu had mentioned.
“Sect Master Di, just command us. We will immediately charge into the mist with you if we have to,” Ren Jisha proclaimed while slapping himself on the chest when he saw Di Jiu observing the black mist.
The news that Di Jiu wanted to set up a sect, create a Dao court, and exterminate the black mist had spread like wildfire in the Great Ultimate Realm. Numerous cultivators had come over, for none of them was willing to give up on their homeland. They would not dally now that someone powerful had stepped forward and taken the lead to save the Great Ultimate Realm.
Upon seeing the continuous influx of cultivators, Di Jiu stepped in the air and announced, “Friends from the Great Ultimate Realm, we must definitely eliminate the black mist, but before that, I wish to set up a blocking Defense Array at the border of the black mist. This will prevent the mist from continuing to corrode other areas, so I need some help from Array Masters.”
“I’m afraid that would be impossible, Sect Master Di. This black mist will most likely not be blocked even by an extremely good Divine Array…” The Sect Master of the Great Array Sect stood up and objected fearfully.
He was worried that the process of setting up a major array would use up a large amount of manpower and resources. Before the major array could be completed, the black mist might already have spread through the Great Ultimate Realm.
Di Jiu waved his hands dismissively. “Fret not, I have my own means.”
Several thousand Divine Array Masters had stood up upon Di Jiu’s call, and many of them had offered some resources.
Di Jiu opened his palm. Following a ripple of Dao runes in the air, four array flags landed on his palm.
Dao Lord Darkness was definitely extraordinary, so Di Jiu had decided to use the Heaven Earth Five-Element Flags to stop this black Qi from spreading.
Di Jiu’s techniques far surpassed the techniques of everyone present, but some people, including Ren Jisha, still sensed the Dao rune fluctuation when he recalled the four Five-Element Flags. They knew that what Di Jiu had recollected was not ordinary.
However, given Di Jiu’s strength and capabilities, no one dared to spy on the treasure he had recalled. When Di Jiu handed down commands, the Array Masters complied in an orderly fashion.
Upon seeing Di Jiu give a series of commands so that the Array Masters would place down array flags in different locations and watching him doing so well, some people started to believe that Di Jiu could very likely prevent the black mist from spreading.
In just one month, with the help of the many Array Masters and the four Five-Element Flags, the Divine Array was completed and it successfully stopped the black mist.
Before the Defense Array had been set up, the black mist had been expanding rapidly and reducing the livable space in the Great Ultimate Realm.
After the completion of the Defense Array, the cultivators outside the array could see the black mist churning and even attempting to bypass the array. However, it failed miserably to do so.
“Sect Master Di, it’s really blocked!” some of the Array Masters who had set up the Defense Array with Di Jiu cried excitedly. In one month, Di Jiu’s expansive knowledge on the Array Dao had impressed them greatly. Using only one Defense Array, Di Jiu had managed to put a stop to a problem the Great Ultimate Realm had been unable to resolve for many years, thus preventing the black mist from continuing to corrode the realm.
“What do we need to do next, Sect Master Di? Do command us,” Sect Master Fang Jianxi of the Divine Corral River Sacred Dao Sect said excitedly.
He could be considered the last Dao Integration cultivator of the Great Ultimate Realm who was still alive. However, he had yet to recover from the injuries he had sustained due to the black mist.
At that moment, all the cultivators were staring at Di Jiu earnestly. He had proved his true capabilities by successfully preventing the black mist from spreading. Before Di Jiu had come, many Dao Integration cultivators had come as well but had all failed in this aspect. Many of these cultivators had died within the black mist or gotten severely injured.
Di Jiu informed the masses solemnly, “I’ve decided to enter the black mist to have a look. If this Defense Array remains intact, it will mean that I’m safe. Otherwise, you should all escape as far away as you can.”
This Defense Array had been built using his Five-Element Flags, so it would definitely be unable to block the mist of the Dark Law if anything happened to him. If he was okay, the black mist would not be able to break his Defense Array no matter how powerful it was.
“Let us join you, Sect Master Di,” declared numerous cultivators when they heard that Di Jiu intended to head in alone.
Fearless cultivators existed everywhere.
Di Jiu cupped his fists and said, “Thank you, everyone. However, if I died, anyone who followed me in would die as well. In that case, why should so many people die? There is no need for everyone to accompany me if I can resolve this issue by myself.”
Upon saying that, Di Jiu stepped into the black mist without hesitation. The churning black mist enveloped him in an instant and he disappeared completely from sight.
All the cultivators fell silent. Indeed, many cultivators had entered the black mist before Di Jiu to investigate its source and had never come back. However, these people had all been Sect Masters from the various major sects of the Great Ultimate Realm and overlords of the realm. This was the first time that a cultivator unrelated to the Great Ultimate Realm entered the black mist without hesitation.
Unfortunately, if Di Jiu did not come out again, the Great Ultimate Realm would be destroyed. Otherwise, they would definitely erect a huge statue of him in the realm.
…
Di Jiu felt as though he was submerged in ink when he entered the black mist. This created an indescribable feeling of discomfort, for the space surrounding him seemed to not belong to him.
When he had been outside, his Spiritual Force had been able to permeate the black mist a little. Now that he had entered it, however, that was no longer possible. How powerful his Spiritual Force was did not matter, for when he extended it even just a little, it would immediately be swallowed by the Dark Law.
This feeling of discomfort stemmed from the fact that he sensed a pair of eyes staring at him from the darkness, but he did not know where it was.
Almost the moment that Di Jiu opened his Dao eye, a black needle that was several feet long shot out of the darkness. By the time his Dao eye spotted this black needle, it was already about to pierce his chest.
Bam! The black needle was indeed powerful, but upon colliding with Di Jiu’s physical body, it disintegrated into numerous Dark Law Dao runes.
Di Jiu grunted coldly and stopped advancing. Instead, he started completing Nomological Qi Circulations in a frenzy. His opponent was using the Dark Law Dao runes to refine the Great Ultimate Realm, and he wanted to refine these Dark Law Dao runes.
This might be a difficult task for others, but not for Di Jiu, who perceived this as refining a new Heaven Earth Law. This was a beneficial act with no repercussions for him.
Once the Nomological Qi Circulation started, numerous Foundation Orders appeared within the Dark Laws surrounding Di Jiu. To his pleasant surprise, his cultivation began to rise exponentially. His cultivation level had been stuck at the perfected Primordial Chaos Realm for a very long time, so did this increase in his cultivation signify that he was about to successfully attain the Dao Integration Realm?
