Di Jiu said indifferently, “You will know soon.”
Shang Huijue nodded his head. “Then let me have a look. Your saber array is good enough to deal with a group of old Dao Integration people. If you want to deal with me, you’re still lacking a bit…”
Before Shang Huijue finished his words, he took out a writing brush that was not even a foot long. However, when that writing brush blasted Di Jiu’s domain, it transformed into a huge writing brush of a thousand feet.
Crack! Di Jiu’s domain split open like an eggshell. A terrifying suppression surged over, causing him to have difficulty breathing.
It was so powerful… Without delay, Di Jiu slashed with his Heavenly Aqua Saber using the Saber Dao divine power and the Order Severance Saber Move.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! There were sounds of laws cracking in the void, and the huge pen suddenly weakened. However, after the huge writing brush weakened to 100 feet, it never decreased again and it hit the area between Di Jiu’s eyebrows without any hindrance.
Di Jiu was horrified. His Order Severance Saber Move had not torn the divine power law of the other party’s writing brush. Instead, he found himself in a disadvantageous situation.
This was the first time Di Jiu had encountered such a situation. Anxious, he took out the Yin-Yang Taijitu.
Boom! The writing brush collided with the Yin-Yang Taijitu, covering it with a drop of ink that was ten feet.
A powerful Divine Essence and Spiritual Force struck over. Di Jiu sensed a buzzing sound in his Spiritual Sea, as though someone had struck him with a huge iron.
Apart from his Spiritual Sea, his Starry Sky meridian was also stirred by the backfiring Divine Essence.
The Yin-Yang Taijitu was smeared with a black trace as if it had lost part of its charm. Di Jiu hurriedly scanned it with his Spiritual Force and removed the black trace on the Yin-Yang Taijitu. Therefore, the Yin-Yang Taijitu once again regained its Dao rune aura.
So powerful… Di Jiu was shocked. The other party had yet to extend his domain. However, Di Jiu had nearly not blocked even one writing brush.
On the surface, the two parties were evenly matched. However, Di Jiu knew very well that he was falling behind and was sure that the writing brush of the other party was also an extraordinary Connate treasure.
At that moment, the opponent had the upper hand and would surely continue his victorious pursuit. Di Jiu was already ready to smash this guy with the Void Mountain before executing his Thunder Saber Move.
When Di Jiu thought that the other party would win the fight, Shang Huijue stood instead and said in surprise, “The Yin-Yang Taijitu is in your hands. That is Li Yun’s Dharma treasure.”
Di Jiu chuckled. “Shang Huijue, your writing brush should be Wang Ermazi’s Dharma treasure, right? I remember that he had a duck-feather writing brush. Oh, that’s right. It’s this writing brush of yours.”
Shang Huijue gave him a slight smile. “My writing brush is the first of its kind, and there is only one on this side of the universe. It is called the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. Do you know why I stopped and did nothing to you? Your escape technique was very impressive. I suppose that if you run away, it would take some effort for me to catch up with you. I’ll discuss it with you. This Yin-Yang Taijitu is very useful to me…”
Di Jiu laughed in anger. Before Shang Huijue could finish his words, he said with a chuckle, “I also fancy the duck-feather writing brush. I usually keep a small account and I always lack the tools for it. How many Spirit Stones should I use to trade with you?”
Looking indifferent, Shang Huijue said, “You might think it is a joke. Do you know what Du Bu’s cultivation technique was after the universe first separated? Do you know why Du Bu couldn’t live forever? You probably heard that Du Bu was killed, right? He he… Let me tell you something. If someone can be killed, they are not immortal. Du Bu couldn’t die, so nobody could kill me either. Likewise, Du Mo knew this principle. He betrayed Du Bu and worked with other people to plot against him because he wanted to live forever. On the other hand, no matter how strong Du Mo was, he couldn’t live forever. I know all this, which is why I can tell you.
“Besides, that Yin-Yang Taijitu is useless to you. Even now, you haven’t fully refined it because you don’t understand this treasure. Trade it with me and I promise I won’t let you down. Your understanding of the laws is powerful, and you can even use the Order Severance divine power. Give me the Yin-Yang Taijitu. In addition to giving you some good stuff, I will also tell you how to use the Order Severance divine power to tear apart an opponent’s divine power law.”
“Are you done?” Di Jiu asked when Shang Huijue was finished.
Shang Huijue nodded his head. He looked at Di Jiu seriously, waiting for his answer.
However, Di Jiu said, “Since you’re done, let me see your strength. Otherwise, why would the duck-feather writing brush be given to you…”
Before he’d finished his sentence, Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber had transformed into a thunder spark and slashed down.
Crack! The domain of Shang Huijue, which had just been swept up, was torn apart by this thunder spark. Hence, Shang Huijue frowned and bellowed, “Void!”
At the same time, the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush in his hand drew a huge ‘void’ character in the void.
Di Jiu’s Thunder Saber Move slashed out in a 100-feet radius, sent thunder sparks all over, and strengthened the aura of his thunder move. Such an aura felt as if the thunder had landed from the sky and turned into thunder blades that locked Shang Huijue in place.
Boom! The ‘void’ character clashed with the Thunder Saber Move and the thunder sparks immediately dissipated. The Thunder Saber Move rapidly weakened as though ice had met a flame.
Di Jiu felt a kind of emptiness all over him. It seemed that a moment later, he would fall apart like his Thunder Saber Move and turn into nothing. That emptiness, along with the ‘void’ character, continually suppressed the surrounding space. It seemed like it was going to condense the entire universe’s space into this ‘void’ character.
Di Jiu was horrified. This was the first time that he had been shocked by the other party’s divine power. If this went on, he wouldn’t need to fight anymore. He would be enveloped by Shang Huijue’s divine power and the ‘void’ character before he was turned into nothing.
This terrifying divine power let Di Jiu know very well that not only did Shang Huijue want to defeat him, but he also wanted to envelop him. This ‘void’ character spread, and he very soon couldn’t escape anymore. In the end, he was confined in this character.
Without hesitation, Di Jiu took out the Void Mountain and blasted it with all his might. At the same time, he gathered all his Divine Essence and Spiritual Force to slash out with another saber move.
When this saber move slashed out, it instantly turned into a Saber Mountain and an even bigger Saber Mountain afterward.
Wave after wave, it seemed endless.
This was the divine power that was integrated with his Saber Mountain. Gathering Peaks, Furious Waves.
“The Void Mountain! You actually also have that…” Shang Huijue seemed like a large light bulb that was bombarded by 100 million volts and shot out unrestrained light flares.
Shang Huijue definitely wouldn’t let such a wealthy guy go. The ‘void’ character in the void was bombarded by the first Saber Mountain and it instantly faded. Before the ‘void’ character could completely fade, Shang Huijue continued performing hand seals and the writing brush in the void once again turned into a ‘solitary’ character. At the same time, he took out a black book.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The book and the Void Mountain clashed, causing an eruption of Divine Essence all over. Di Jiu sensed a laceration and felt pain in his Spiritual Sea. Even though his body had surpassed a Sacred Body, he suffered from aches all over.
This one book had smashed his Void Mountain back to him. The Void Mountain hadn’t even gained an advantage. He also felt that a deathly aura drew his life-force in that book as though he was going to be swept into it. Fortunately, his physical body was really powerful, so the impact was not great.
Crack! The ‘solitary’ character in the void tore Di Jiu’s second Saber Mountain, third Saber Mountain, fourth Saber Mountain…
Bam! When all the Saber Mountains in the void were turned into nothing, that ‘solitary’ character did the same.
A trace of blood appeared at the corner of Di Jiu’s mouth. He saw that Shang Huijue was a little pale and found it obvious that the other party was not feeling good.
“What kind of book is this? Can it block my Void Mountain?” Di Jiu could not help but ask. Besides the Book of the World, was there another formidable book?
There was a slight disdain in Shang Huijue’s eyes. “Your Void Mountain? Di Jiu, you can’t talk nonsense. This Void Mountain is not yours. You only picked it up. As for my baby, I can tell you that it is called the Book of Life and Death.”
Di Jiu chuckled. “Your real name isn’t Shang Huijue, right?”
Shang Huijue frowned slightly. “I am Shang Huijue. Even now, what I said is still valid. You should know very well that you’re not yet my match. The Lost Dao World is really big. Even if you escape, I’ll also have a way to find you. It will just take up some of my time.”
Di Jiu said faintly, “Why is your name Shang Huijue? Not only did you cheat away the duck-feather writing brush, but you also cheated away the Book of Life and Death. You should be called a swindler who specifically deceives honest people.”
