Because Ci led the way, everyone reached the Heavenly Poison Canyon in less than a month.
Just as Chu Manhe had said, when everyone was still very far from the Heavenly Poison Canyon, they could clearly see a huge black whirlpool in the middle of the Heavenly Poison Canyon. In the periphery of the black whirlpool, even the ground was clean. Evidently, everything had been swept into this whirlpool.
When everyone stopped, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on this black whirlpool and that powerful nomological aura swept over very soon, tearing his Spiritual Force into scraps.
“Daoist Di, Spiritual Force cannot permeate this place. If your Spiritual Force did that, it would immediately be swept away by that black whirlpool.” When Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was swept away by the black whirlpool, Zuo Zhongren immediately warned him.
Di Jiu nodded his head, but his Spiritual Force still permeated the place.
He was different from other people. Even if their Spiritual Force was devoured or torn, he could set up his own Foundation Order in this black whirlpool and set up his Heaven Earth Law with the Foundation Order. Before reaching the Dao Integration, he couldn’t have achieved all this. However, he could easily do so now.
At first, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was devoured by the black whirlpool. Later on, his Spiritual Force became distinct and he could even extend it into the black whirlpool.
However, Di Jiu very soon withdrew his Spiritual Force and looked somewhat pale.
He had sensed an extreme vastness and emptiness in the black whirlpool, followed by a call for third-step experts. Any third-step experts who entered the whirlpool would be devoured by it completely to supplement something.
That was definitely a new realm with a much higher level than any realms he knew. Such a top-notch realm should be a place all the perfected Dao Integration cultivators dreamed of, yet Di Jiu felt suffocated and cold.
“Daoist Di, what is it?” Ci was the first one to sense that something was wrong with Di Jiu.
Di Jiu slowly exhaled and replied, “One will definitely die without a doubt after entering that place, regardless of who they are or how strong their cultivation level is.”
Everyone went silent. Although none of their Spiritual Forces permeated the black whirlpool apart from Di Jiu’s, nobody dared to doubt his words.
First, Di Jiu did not have any reason to lie to them. Second, Di Jiu had come out of the Dao Abyss. Any cultivator who opened a void passageway to walk out of the depths of the Dao Abyss couldn’t be considered ordinary.
“Won’t we be always confined in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone then?” Ye Yimo asked worriedly. She was in a hurry to leave this place. After so many years, she wondered if the Sacred Dao World was doing well and if her acquaintances were still there.
“No, we can go out,” Di Jiu said as he shook his head.
Everyone looked at Di Jiu in confusion before Dao Lord Po Xu hurriedly said, “Ah Jiu, don’t make us feel happy. How will we go out?”
Di Jiu pointed at the black whirlpool. “Through there.”
“Big Brother Di, you just said that we’ll definitely die if we go in.” Ye Yimo looked at Di Jiu, feeling puzzled. Even the others looked at him in confusion.
Di Jiu explained, “I know. I wasn’t talking about the whirlpool but about the place beside the black whirlpool. We can definitely go out through there. The black whirlpool is not ordinary. Not only can it sweep anything that goes near it, but it can also tear and weaken the Heaven Earth Law in the void. The thickness and solidity of a realm are mainly based on the Heaven Earth Law. Once the Heaven Earth Law becomes weaker and gets torn, after some time, the border of the realm will become weaker due to this whirlpool.”
“Daoist Di, do you mean that the space near the edge of the whirlpool becomes so unstable that it can even be torn?” Ci was the first one to understand what Di Jiu meant.
Di Jiu nodded his head. “That’s right. The Void Realm should be weaker near the edge of the whirlpool.”
Ye Yimo looked at Di Jiu with an increasingly solemn expression and said in confusion, “Big Brother Di, if you’re right, you should be feeling happy. Why do you look troubled?”
Di Jiu sighed. “It’s because my guess is right, which makes me feel worried.”
“Why is that so?” Ye Yimo asked subconsciously.
Ci sighed and took the initiative to explain. “Because if Daoist Di’s guess is right, that black whirlpool will be devouring this whole place someday. Then, it will sweep the entire Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone into the whirlpool. The possibility of the whirlpool devouring the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone is secondary. Daoist Di is worried that as time goes by, the entire Five-Element Universe might be swept away by this whirlpool.”
After Ci finished saying that, he told Di Jiu, “Daoist Di, I don’t think such a thing will happen. This black whirlpool might very likely sweep the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone into it, but as this whirlpool becomes bigger and bigger, its power will get weaker. If it wants to sweep away the Five-Element Universe, that should not be very likely.”
Di Jiu shook his head and did not explain this. He had sensed how terrifying and powerful the depths of the whirlpool were. He had a feeling that even the Five-Element Universe would be nothing in this whirlpool.
“Daoist Di, in that case, I’ll make a move first. Which part of this place do you plan on tearing?” Zuo Zhongren was also eager to go out. When he heard that Di Jiu knew a way out, he quickly stepped forward to speak and ignored everything else.
Di Jiu let his mind rest and decided to go out first. He took out his Heavenly Aqua Saber and said, “Later on, my Heavenly Aqua Saber will choose a place. When the Heavenly Aqua Saber creates a rift, you will all use your divine power to attack the rift. I’ll make the last tear.”
Di Jiu’s Dao had been integrated with his laws, which were completely different from the laws of the Five-Element Universe. After all, the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone was a place in the Five-Element Universe. When other people tore this realm, they would only use the law power of the Five-Element Universe to do so. Di Jiu believed that he was different. If he used his own Dao power to tear the Dao power of the Five-Element Universe, he would stand a better chance.
“Okay, Daoist Di. We’ll listen to you.” Ye Yimo quickly stood up to take a stand. In fact, he had the lowest cultivation level apart from Ye Yimo and Chu Manhe.
Di Jiu was not polite and did not have the time to be. After he took a step forward, his Heavenly Aqua Saber swept up a saber screen and tore the area near the edge of the black whirlpool. He used the Wind-Rustling Move’s divine power, which was indomitable. This was the most suitable way to tear the realm.
Thanks to this indomitable aura, the saber screen blasted the void and a five-foot rift was torn.
When the other cultivators saw that Di Jiu had really torn such a clear rift with one saber move, they were shocked. Then, they quickly drew their Dharma treasures to attack it.
After the few of them attacked the rift with their Dharma treasures, the laws became unstable. Di Jiu took a step forward again and tore that rift with both hands.
The Nomological Dao aura swept out of Di Jiu’s hand and blasted that spatial rift.
Boom! As if a planet had exploded, Di Jiu’s nomological Dao runes tore a foot out of that rift.
“Leave quickly!” Di Jiu shouted.
Not needing Di Jiu’s reminder, Zuo Zhongren, Ci, and Itinerant Yi Ji immediately rushed into the rift and disappeared. Chu Manhe and Ye Yimo followed them. However, due to their low cultivation level, as soon as they rushed into the entrance of the rift, they were swept by the power of the black whirlpool toward it.
Di Jiu’s Dao rune aura frantically stretched out and forcibly pulled the two of them back before he brought them along and rushed into the rift.
Crack! When Di Jiu entered the rift and disappeared, the rift disappeared as well.
