Peng He was entrapped by Zhong Ao’s Confinement Killing Array. In this moment of confusion, he realized that Di Jiu was running towards him. He was ecstatic, as he only needed to kill Di Jiu.

Peng He reached out with his Demon-Sealing Claws but he immediately felt an extremely intense oppression. The space he was in froze. An Immortal Essence hand squeezed his neck as he heard Zhong Ao say, “Di Jiu, your Domain is insufficient. If I do nothing now, you could at best injure him, even if you are inside this Confinement Killing Immortal Array. Quickly, kill them all and wrap this up. I don’t have the time to play with you.”

Bam! A blood mist exploded. Peng He had actually transformed into a mass of Blood Qi in Zhong Ao’s hands and disappeared.

“Eh? Is that the Spatial Blood escape technique? Seeing this escape technique in this place is impressive!” exclaimed Zhong Ao, as though he did not mind that Peng He had escaped.

Di Jiu complained unhappily. “Old Zhong, please remember that I’m here to take revenge today. Could you be more cautious? If more people escape, I won’t need to keep the Peace Hotel open anymore.”

Di Jiu was indeed not pleased. Zhong Ao would be leaving sooner or later. By killing more Immortal Emperors today, he would experience less trouble in the future.

In an extremely rare moment, Zhong Ao blushed before promising in embarrassment, “Don’t worry. I promise that such a thing will not happen from now on. I have already added a few more array flags to the Confinement Killing Array, thus sealing the Domains of these Immortal Emperors. Go ahead. Now is a good time for you to gain some experience.”

Di Jiu turned and the Heavenly Aqua Saber transformed into a saber flare that enveloped Xiling Yuanyi.

Everyone within the Confinement Killing Array was enveloped by Zhong Ao’s array aura. Both the Domains and the Spiritual Force were extremely suppressed. Only Di Jiu remained unaffected.

Xiling Yuanyi was still attacking the Confinement Killing Array frantically. Every attack using the spear was filled with countless spear patterns. When every spear pattern landed on the Confinement Killing Immortal Array, it rippled. He was currently feeling enraged and appalled, as he was unable to understand how Di Jiu had been able to set up an Immortal Killing Array of this level.

He had been to many places and seen many things, but he had never seen such a Confinement Killing Immortal Array before.

He suspected that this Confinement Killing Immortal Array was of a higher level than a level-nine Immortal Array, for this array could not possibly be able to confine eight Immortal Emperors at the same time otherwise.

“Bastard, no wonder you dared to let me in. You have actually set up a Confinement Killing Immortal Array that surpasses a level-nine array. I will kill you even if it means that I will die today…” Upon seeing Di Jiu coming over, Xiling Yuanyi gave up on attacking the Confinement Killing Immortal Array and his spear transformed into a wave of spear flare that surged at Di Jiu.

Di Jiu was also impressed by how powerful Zhong Ao’s Array Dao was. Without this Confinement Killing Immortal Array, he would have been unable to do anything to Xiling Yuanyi.

Now that Xiling Yuanyi was attacking him at full strength, he could only sense the onslaught of a killing aura. He was completely unaffected by Xiling Yuanyi’s Immortal Emperor Domain. On the other hand, his Immortal King Domain had locked onto Xiling Yuanyi.

How could Di Jiu possibly let such a great whetstone go? He did not evade the attacks. The combination of his Immortal Essence domain and Spiritual Force domain surged at Xiling Yuanyi’s spear aura, strengthening the brightness of the Heavenly Aqua Saber’s saber flare.

All experts trapped within the Confinement Killing Immortal Array could clearly sense the power and force behind this saber flare. Although they were at first attacking the array, they subconsciously cast their gazes at Di Jiu and Xiling Yuanyi.

Boom! The saber flare collided with Xiling Yuanyi’s spear aura. Even the space rippled due to the resultant explosion.

A terrifying force surged over before Di Jiu spat out a mouthful of blood. He was not worried, however, while he swung the Heavenly Aqua Saber once again. The saber created an extremely fine road of patterns and continued on its path towards Xiling Yuanyi.

Within Zhong Ao’s major array, Xiling Yuanyi was not able to cause him any life-threatening harm despite possessing much more powerful Immortal Essence. This battle was very important to Di Jiu. Although he might have suffered severe injuries, his harvest was much greater.

Xiling Yuanyi’s eyes turned red. He had to kill Di Jiu. He had to kill this weakling, even if he died in this Confinement Killing Immortal Array today.

Even without his Immortal Emperor Domain, his spear rumbled violently. Five spear flowers appeared the instant the spear tried to pierce Di Jiu.

This was Xiling Yuanyi’s most powerful supernormal ability, the Eight Blood, which was able to create eight spear flowers in one move. These spear flowers could tear the entire space apart, let alone the person who was the target of the spear flowers.

Xiling Yuanyi had yet to practice the supernormal ability to its maximum, but he was able to create five spear flowers. Even without the help of his Domain, he believed that these five spear flowers would be sufficient to rip Di Jiu into pieces.

The five spear flowers were like five bright fireworks. The rest of the people in the Confinement Killing Immortal Array could see the spear flowers very well under the illumination they provided.

Xie Wanling and Yue Wuliang were shocked, as they knew that Xiling Yuanyi’s Spear Dao had advanced once again.

Meng Qianqian, who remained motionless at a corner of the Confinement Killing Immortal Array, was alarmed when she saw the five spear flowers. As a fifth-stage Immortal Emperor, she had once thought that she would be on par with these Great Immortal Emperors when she attained the seventh-stage Immortal Emperor Realm. However, after seeing Xiling Yuanyi’s spear flowers, she realized that she would not be able to match up to Xiling Yuanyi even if she joined the ranks of Great Immortal Emperors.

If Zhong Ao did not take any action to suppress Xiling Yuanyi’s domain and most of his Spiritual Force, Di Jiu would die for sure.

The five spear flowers bloomed all around Di Jiu as though spring had arrived. Di Jiu was illuminated like the protagonist of spring itself.

As he slashed out a saber wave just like before, even his stance remained unchanged.

Xiling Yuanyi sneered, certain that Old Zhong would be unable to take any action in time.

Crack! There was a very minute cracking sound before Xiling Yuanyi’s five spear flowers suddenly withered.

Xiling Yuanyi acted like he had seen a ghost. He did not even change his stance. Instead, he just stared at Di Jiu while a voice was hollering in his mind.

What kind of supernormal ability was this? What exactly was this?

No one knew better than him that Di Jiu’s saber move had split the law of his Eight Blood supernormal ability. He had heard the law of the supernormal ability splitting.

All supernormal abilities were built with the Heaven Earth Laws as their foundation, much like the foundation of a tall building. This logic applied to both construction and Dharma Array making. Any chink in the foundation of the tall building would cause the structure to collapse.

Di Jiu’s spear move had destroyed the foundation of his Eight Blood supernormal ability, resulting in the withering of his five spear flowers.

Di Jiu was elated when he sensed the disappearance of the oppression caused by the spear flowers. He knew that his Order Severance Saber Move had succeeded, even though he had made use of Zhong Ao’s Confinement Killing Immortal Array to be able to do so. However, if the difference between Di Jiu and Xiling Yuanyi’s cultivation levels had not been so huge, he could have accomplished the same feat.

“Go and die in peace.” Di Jiu moved and slashed out again.

His Order Severance Saber Move was still incomplete. Once it was finalized, the saber move would break open the law of the opponent’s supernormal ability and might even carry a successive move. He did not have to complete the Order Severance Saber Move first before executing a new saber move.

Xiling Yuanyi reacted. He knew that, no matter how astounded he was, he could not allow Di Jiu to attack him.

Due to his weakening Spiritual Force and the disappearance of his domain, he could not judge the formability of Di Jiu’s next saber move. In his opinion, the saber move Di Jiu had just executed was definitely the number one apex supernormal ability in the entire Immortal World. Therefore, when Di Jiu’s Crevice Traverse Saber Move was made, he thought of using his Immortal Essence to subjugate Di Jiu. This was because it was impossible for Di Jiu to execute an even more powerful saber flare than the Order Severance Saber Move.

“Life was but a fleeting moment!”

As soon as Xiling Yuanyi saw a crevice, the saber flare streaked across the crevice.

He did not continue to resist, as the saber flare appeared only for a fleeting moment. This saber flare seemed to be something he could never evade. It seemed to freeze in time along with the space he was in.

Xiling Yuanyi was an extremely influential person in the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent, so he had seen everything before. Even though he had yet to grasp the time laws, he was knowledgeable when it came to time law supernormal abilities. Any movement he made would be futile. His speed could also never be faster than time. He would still be within the constraints of time, no matter how he moved, for his Spiritual Force was currently being oppressed. His inability to surpass time was a logical fact that he understood.

Under normal conditions, there was absolutely no way he would be killed even if this saber move possessed a hint of time law.

However, he knew that he would be killed by Di Jiu sooner or later even if he survived that day.

It was not astonishing that Di Jiu had been able to attain the Immortal King Realm, as this was a feat he had seen before. Those people had their own secret to keep, as well as a large amount of cultivating resources and a heaven-defying aptitude. So what if they could attain the Immortal Emperor Realm?

It was evident that his death would be imminent in the near or far future, since Di Jiu had been able to break open the law of his supernormal ability with one saber move and use time law to attack him.

Xiling Yuanyi was one of the Great Immortal Emperors, so he would not beg a nobody like Di Jiu for mercy.

Suddenly, there was an explosion of blood and a saber flash pierced Xiling Yuanyi’s head. Before Di Jiu could do anything else, Xiling Yuanyi’s Principal Spirit disintegrated.

Yue Wuliang felt a chill running down his spine as he witnessed Di Jiu kill Xiling Yuanyi. He even forgot to continue attacking the Confinement Killing Immortal Array.

The face of Guild Master Fu Jue from the Tripod-Existing Elixir Dispensary turned ashen. He had personally witnessed the saber move Di Jiu had executed to kill Xiling Yuanyi. He did not think that he could evade something Xiling Yuanyi had failed to.

He was a third-stage Immortal Emperor, so he was considered nothing next to Xiling Yuanyi. Now, the latter had been killed by Di Jiu.

Fu Jue took a step backward subconsciously. A gray flare from the Confinement Killing Immortal Array shot out and pierced his back, pinning him to the array core.
