Chapter 887: This Saber Move Again
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Regardless of what kind of person Yi Ji was or how formidable he was, Di Jiu currently did not fear him. They were both at the Dao Integration Realm. So what if Yi Ji was at the late-stage Dao Integration and he was at the early-stage Dao Integration?
Upon seeing Dao Lord Po Xu’s puzzled gaze, Di Jiu nodded at him and walked to a window on the side of the trading hall.
“How can I help you?” Although the female cultivator inside the trading window had not attended the trade meeting, she knew very well what had happened and was aware that Di Jiu only had two hours to live at most.
“I have to settle the score with someone later. I heard that I’m not allowed in the cave abodes here. I want to ask if there is any way for me to find and settle the score with that person?” Di Jiu was straightforward. After he got rid of Yi Ji, he would still have to find Lightning.
It was good that he was now at the Dao Integration, but he did not dare act as he wished in the Dao Abyss.
“You need a supreme-grade divine spirit meridian for a one-day visitor jade card,” said the female cultivator faintly from behind the window.
Without hesitation, Di Jiu threw a storage bag inside. “I want a one-day visitor jade card.”
At the same time, he silently sighed. This place was indeed somewhat lousy. It seemed that everyone abided by the rules, yet there was a visit jade card. If one offended an expert and that expert was feeling displeased, he could just deal with that person with a visitor jade card.
The female cultivator put away the storage bag and threw out a yellow jade card.
He took the jade card and said, “I have a friend who violated the rules here and is currently bound on the trading hall square. How can I save him?”
The female cultivator scanned Di Jiu. “If he violated the rules with someone else, just tell that someone to admit his mistakes and say that no such thing happened. Otherwise, there is no way to save him.”
Di Jiu laughed. This was easy to handle. He had originally wanted to visit Dao Lord Icy Wind, but such a rule would naturally make things easier. If Dao Lord Icy Wind dared not admit his mistakes, he would slash him open with a saber move.
Meanwhile, Yi Ji was standing in the middle of the square and staring at Di Jiu coldly. No matter what kind of tricks Di Jiu used, he would not be able to walk out of this Dao trade square. Because he knew that Di Jiu could not go anywhere, he did not bother stopping him from asking questions.
Di Jiu, who was in a good mood, walked to the square. When he opened his palm, the Heavenly Aqua Saber appeared. Then, he said, “I heard that you were killed. I didn’t expect you to be so lucky. You used the Creation Dao Runes to be resurrected. Can’t you just live your life well? Why do you have to provoke me?”
At Yi Ji’s age, such a cursing monologue was considered thin air. Even though Di Jiu had spoken unpleasantly, he pretended he had not heard him and faintly looked at him. “Hand over your soul imprint and I will consider sparing you.”
Di Jiu was not as conservative as Itinerant Yi Ji. While he felt furious, his Heavenly Aqua Saber turned into a saber screen that swept toward Yi Ji. At the same time, his Dao Integration domain completely stretched out.
Itinerant Yi Ji sneered. He had just reached Dao Integration, and his Dao runes had yet to be stabilized. How dare this nobody make a move on him! He simply had a death wish…
At this thought, Itinerant Yi Ji’s expression suddenly changed. He actually sensed that his domain couldn’t withstand any more due to Di Jiu’s domain suppression.
Before Itinerant Yi Ji could make his next move, he heard a crack. His domain shattered and that saber screen swept over.
At that moment, Yi Ji did not dwell on why Di Jiu was so powerful. Two blade flares shot out of his sleeves.
His Dao runes were instantly activated before clashing with Di Jiu’s saber screen.
A violent Divine Essence exploded. Even the laws at the bottom of the Dao Abyss shattered and patterns appeared in the space between them. Then, that violent Divine Essence burst and tore the space between the two of them before it bombarded the whole square.
It felt like he was bound by a top-notch storm. He was freed from his shackles, but then the storm erupted. The restrictions on the square couldn’t stop such a terrifying impact. After being bombarded into disorder, it rushed out like ocean waves in disunity.
The cultivators who were watching the fun took out their Dharma treasures one after another to block this impact. At the same time, they were secretly appalled. They hadn’t expected this foreign young cultivator to be so formidable as to fight head-on with Itinerant Yi Ji.
Although he was only at the late-stage Dao Integration, an ordinary third-step expert couldn’t do anything to Itinerant Yi Ji. After all, his past was too terrifying. Furthermore, his forbidden divine power could make any third-step expert perish there.
Even though Yi Ji was much weaker than he used to be, he stayed powerful after falling. After all, Yi Ji had restored his physical body. How could this be compared to staying powerful after falling?
Di Jiu sensed a violent Dao rune aura sweep over on top of his Sky Screen Saber Move as if it was going to make his Sky Screen Saber Move dissipate. However, he was not shocked. He was delighted. He did not even withdraw his saber. An even more violent saber aura was integrated into the Sky Screen Saber Move’s divine power, and the Sky Screen Saber Move turned into the Wind-Rustling Move. At the same time, he let out a roar that was filled with passion and straightforwardness.
Di Jiu was indeed straightforward. When he had been at the Primordial Chaos, he could never have circulated his Saber Dao divine power at will as he did now. If he had been at the Primordial Chaos, after his Sky Screen Saber Move’s saber aura was blocked, he would have had to step back and protect himself before activating the second saber aura’s divine power. Right now, after the integration of the Dao runes had been blocked by the saber move, he could immediately transform the second saber move. In the meantime, he did not stagnate and the divine power law was transformed.
In addition, Yi Ji’s strength allowed him to have a base. This guy’s strength was not worthy of his fame.
Di Jiu let out a roar, making Yi Ji feel horrified. He knew that his current strength was not on par with his strength when he had been in the same cultivation realm. However, he cultivated the Creation cultivation technique and the Dao divine power. Where had Di Jiu come from? Why was he so terrifying?
After Yi Ji blocked Di Jiu’s first Sky Screen Saber Move, he frantically stepped back. He knew that he was inferior to Di Jiu.
To his horror, Di Jiu’s second divine power and the first divine power could not be blocked. His divine power law was integrated. He had seen such a person before. In the past, he had been killed by that person and the space between his eyebrows had also been slashed by a saber move. Then, the Dao runes of the saber scar had never vanished.
This was the second time he had seen such a saber aura.
“Pfft!” A trail of blood exploded and two pieces of bark flew out. Itinerant Yi Ji flew hundreds of feet away. Blood dripped from the space between his eyebrows as he looked in a daze at Di Jiu, who was holding onto the Heavenly Aqua Saber and looking at him coldly.
Although the area between his eyebrows had not been slashed, that terrifying deathly gray aura was circling it. The Dao runes of the other party’s saber aura made him remember the saber move he had suffered in the past. The Dao runes of this saber move and that saber move were completely different yet also similar.
His hands and his entire body were trembling now. Despite how strong his willpower was, his Dao started to crack.
Why had Yi Ji taken out two Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotuses to exchange them for a drop of Quintessential Essence of the Universe in the trading hall previously? To perfect his Dao, of course. If his Dao wasn’t perfected by the Quintessential Essence of the Universe, even if he reached the third step, he would only be a little stronger than ordinary third-step experts. He would no longer be the Itinerant Yi Ji of the past.
He was furious that Di Jiu, who was a mere nobody, had dared to ask for two of his Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotuses. However, he regretted it now.
He regretted it for three reasons. The first one was that he had put the Golden Page World into the universe to raise its true spirit, the second one was that he had found Ye Mo and asked for the Golden Page World, and the third one was that he had provoked this foreign young man today. The gray Dao rune aura of the space between his eyebrows suddenly appeared. Yi Ji knew that if he did not use the Quintessential Essence of the Universe, this saber scar would follow him to death, just like it had in the past.
