Chapter 482: Extermination

Even though Di Jiu had the Lattice Spiritual Elixir, the numerous cultivators of the Thunder Court Immortal Continent were frantically using his Confinement Killing Immortal Array to kill the demon beasts in batches. Di Jiu felt his Spiritual Sea becoming more and more painful.

Despite how impressive the Lattice Spiritual Elixir was, it was only a restoration elixir and contained 30% poison. Thus, when Di Jiu refined the Lattice Spiritual Elixir, no matter how high the purification was, he would still be unable to avoid the slight toxicity of the Lattice Spiritual Elixir. Besides, the Lattice Spiritual Elixir was not an elixir pill meant to purely restore Spiritual Force. It could also strengthen the Spiritual Force as well as restore the Spiritual Sea.

The usage of such an elixir pill was not akin to one-time consumption. It was supposed to be used steadily over some time. If Di Jiu frantically swallowed the Lattice Spiritual Elixirs, he would not be able to take it, no matter how strong his Spiritual Sea was.

Crack! When a subtle light sound was heard from the Spiritual Sea, Di Jiu was startled. He could not allow it to go on even if the Thunder Court Immortal Continent was destroyed.

“Roar!” A mournful yell could be heard as Di Jiu felt his Spiritual Sea relax in an instant. Through his Confinement Killing Immortal Array, Di Jiu could see that only one top-notch immortal demon beast had been eliminated by Tie Beishan and a few others who had joined forces.

The beast group that was being confined by Di Jiu was killed when it went frenetic. The great demon who led them was now killed and the attacking pressure faced by Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Immortal Array abruptly relaxed. He immediately came back to his senses.

At that moment, Di Jiu hurriedly used his Forging Spiritual Art to recover his Spiritual Sea. Half an hour later, the attack of the demon beasts was still not organized effectively. Meanwhile, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea was slowly recuperating.

Di Jiu was relieved. He could already distribute part of his energy and control the Primeval Thunder Rock to send thunder showers pouring down.

The destructive power of the thunder shower was really great. Back in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, Di Jiu had relied on the Primeval Thunder Rock to scare off the Beast Tide and make the beasts retreat. Thus, now that many experts were helping, Di Jiu’s cultivation level rose to the late-stage Immortal Supremacy. After the pressure on the Spiritual Sea was relaxed, the Primeval Thunder Rock sent out terrifying thunder showers.

Large numbers of demon beasts were crushed and killed. As they became fewer and fewer, Di Jiu’s pressure also kept becoming lighter and lighter. Any cultivator would also know that the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Beast Tide should not pose a threat to them anymore.

Another day flew by before there were no more demon beasts alive in Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Array. Numerous cultivators were frantically gathering these demon beasts’ materials. Tie Beishan and a few others hurriedly walked over to Di Jiu to show their gratitude.

Without Di Jiu, the Thunder Court Immortal Continent would have been long gone.

Tie Beishan, who had originally schemed about his Primeval Thunder Rock, did not dare reveal his scheme now.

He had lost an arm, but even if he’d still had both arms, he would not have dared to have any thoughts about Di Jiu. His Array Dao level was not considered bad, but he did not have a clue how he had set up this Confinement Killing Array or even where the specific array foundations were.

It was no wonder that Di Jiu had killed the Thunder Emperor. With such a technique, even a few Thunder Emperors would be killed.

“Brother Di, without you, the Thunder Court Immortal Continent would have already perished in the hands of this scum. Our Defense Array flags are with Li Lei. If such a terrifying Beast Tide appeared abruptly, I would be the first to doubt you if you said that this was not related to Li Lei.” Shan Xing walked to the front of Di Jiu and spoke without restraint.

While Li Lei had still been alive, he had spoken tactfully. However, now that Li Lei had been killed by Di Jiu, what was he still afraid of?

Fu Xueling, Tie Beishan, and the others were all excited and their gratitude came from the bottom of their heart. Di Jiu had contributed more than half to defeating the Beast Tide this time while they had only killed the demon beasts in his Confinement Killing Immortal Array. It could be said that Di Jiu had done 90% of the work, and the remaining 10% had been done by them.

“Brother Di, the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Defense Array flags are in control of Li Lei, so it’s a disaster indeed. If you hadn’t killed Li Lei and helped us exterminate the void Beast Tide, I reckon we would have already perished.” While Tie Beishan reached out with his hand to pay his respects to Di Jiu, his tone was sincere.

Di Jiu did not have a good impression of Tie Beishan. Thus, he only told everyone with cupped fists, “Since we met, I naturally had to help. I will take my leave if the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s matter is settled. I have opened a hotel in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. You’re welcome over when you pass by the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.”

The nomological array flags automatically collapsed with the activation of Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force. He would not leave them behind for other people to analyze.

Everyone promptly greeted him back. They knew that even if Di Jiu had not told them that he had opened the Peace Hotel, nobody would have been brainless enough to scheme against his hotel.

“Brother Di, I would like to ask for your help on another matter, but it’s hard for me to start talking.” Tie Beishan once again paid his respects to Di Jiu.

Di Jiu hated this deep in his heart. If so many people had not been watching, he would have directly told Tie Beishan that, since it was hard for him to start talking, he did not have to talk about it.

Tie Beishan, who seemed to have sensed that Di Jiu was displeased, took the initiative to say, “The Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Defense Array flags were under Li Lei’s control back then. However, now that he’s gone, I wonder if there are any array flags left in his ring to control the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Defense Array?”

Di Jiu sneered silently. He did not know whether there were any array flags in Li Lei’s ring that could control the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Defense Array. Even if there were, he would not hand the ring to Tie Beishan. He had lost an arm in the Beast Tide this time because he had been forced by the circumstances. Once Tie Beishan settled down, it would be hard to ensure he would not become a second Li Lei.

Di Jiu sighed. “To be honest, my cultivation level is still lower than Li Lei’s. It’s just that my Array Dao is more impressive and Li Lei could not sense where the array foundation was in the Confinement Killing Immortal Array that I had set up. Thus, he could only attack. If it had been a face-to-face battle, I would definitely not have been Li Lei’s match. However, he could only wait for death thanks to the large Confinement Array I set up.”

There were many cultivators present, but nobody doubted Di Jiu.

They knew how strong his Array Dao was just by seeing the hundreds of millions of void demon beasts that had been killed here. He had not needed too much energy to kill Li Lei either.

The cultivators present were not aware that Di Jiu had nearly failed in killing Li Lei. He had killed so many demon beasts and set up top-notch Confinement Killing Immortal Arrays because hundreds of millions of cultivators had been helping him. The most important thing was, of course, that after Di Jiu had killed Li Lei, he had gained control of a new technique used to set up nomological array flags by chance.

He had been locked in a long battle with Li Lei because he had set up nomological array flags in advance as well as Confinement Killing Arrays. Otherwise, he reckoned he would not even have had the time to set up the Confinement Killing Array before being killed by Li Lei.

Before Tie Beishan could question him, Di Jiu said once again, “Li Lei was simply too formidable. After he was confined by my Confinement Killing Immortal Array, he could still attack me. I also gave it my all. When I was prepared to kill him after binding him, I didn’t expect him to self-explode…”

Di Jiu shook his head with a face full of regret.

How could he not feel regretful? How many quality items were in Li Lei’s ring? That was impossible.

All his things were also gone since he had self-exploded. How could this not be a pity?

Nobody would believe him if he told them that Li Lei’s ring had been left behind. Why would he give his ring to his enemy when he had been about to self-explode?

Tie Beishan, who had not expected this outcome, felt some disbelief. What could he do even if he did not believe this? Moreover, he could not find any loopholes in Di Jiu’s words except that Li Lei’s self-explosion had been a bit weaker. This could be understood as well. Di Jiu could have covered up Li Lei’s self-explosion aura with his strong Array Dao.

Di Jiu patted Black Fire beside him and told Qu Hen and Chen Zishun, who were riddled with scars, “Guild Master Qu, Guild Master Chen, let’s return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, shall we?”

“Brother Di, there is a problem with the Teleportation Array right now…” the Righteous Sword Sect’s Sect Master, Fu Xueling, said hurriedly.

Di Jiu then recalled that there was no Teleportation Array in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent.

When Di Jiu saw everyone looking at him, he could only say, “My friend Zhong Ao left from the Two-Realm Valley back then. I intend to leave through that place this time as well.”

“However, the Two-Realm Valley is a passage that leads to the other realm. If you really leave by going there, I’m afraid you won’t be able to return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City,” a scholarly middle-aged man told him. Di Jiu knew that he was the Demonic Immortal Sect’s Sect Master, Qu Zeng.

Thus, he could only sigh. “If I don’t leave through the Two-Realm Valley now, I won’t have any other options. I don’t know when the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Teleportation Array will be repaired. If I do not return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, please bring a message to the Peace Hotel on my behalf if anyone goes there.”

The Teleportation Array that led from the Thunder Court Immortal Continent to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City was not easy to repair. It required some nearly extinct treasures, such as segmented soil.

Di Jiu had made up his mind to leave, so the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s cultivators could only come over to bid him farewell. Many sects needed to rebuild after the Beast Tide, while Di Jiu was leaving through the Two-Realm Valley. Thus, nobody saw him off.

…

“Protector Di, I know the Two-Realm Valley. If we leave through there, we certainly will be unable to return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. I have a Plane Rift Talisman and a grade-nine peak immortal talisman. If we get separated, use this talisman and you could perhaps return,” Qu Hen told Di Jiu when they were separated from the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s cultivators.

Di Jiu was pondering how to explain that he might have the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Defense Array flags when he heard Qu Hen’s words. He was immediately pleasantly surprised. “Guild Master Qu, do you really have the Plane Rift Talisman? I have a great use for that.”

Ever since he had become an Immortal King, Di Jiu had wanted to make a trip back to Earth countless times, but his strength had been too weak.

He only had one goal: to go to Wang Chuan Temple in the Wang Chuan mountain range. There was a Reincarnation Bridge under that temple, and he was increasingly certain that this Reincarnation Bridge was the most powerful offensive treasure in the universe. How could he let such a treasure slip by? Moreover, he could return to have a look at the Small Central World by using his strength after leaving Earth.
