With the loss of the Thunder Emperor, the remaining people could only be considered nothing. They did not have the ability to rip apart Di Jiu’s level-nine Strangulation Immortal Array.

Di Jiu sat on the ground and swallowed numerous elixir pills. He had been very seriously injured by the Thunder Emperor earlier. He still had to recuperate after killing the Thunder Emperor with all his might, even though he had the most top-notch immortal pills and cultivation techniques.

Half an hour passed before Di Jiu stood up once again. He constructed dozens of array flags again to set up one Mist Immortal Array to obstruct the Spiritual Force. He broke through the Strangulation Immortal Array and the Heavenly Aqua Saber in his hands created saber scars.

Three Immortal Emperors who were lightly injured and three Immortal Emperors who were heavily injured could only try to resist while facing Di Jiu and his level-nine Strangulation Immortal Array. Before they could leave any light injuries on Di Jiu, they were all killed by him.

Di Jiu only put away the rings after killing all these people and did not go out immediately. He grabbed the wood-element supreme-grade immortal meridian and continued recuperating. He also set up an isolated Spiritual Force Dharma Array for recuperation.

His injuries were somewhat serious and if there was another person like the Thunder Emperor, he would not be able to save Qu Hen and Chen Zishun. He could only flee like Zhong Ao.

…

Li Lei had brought six Immortal Emperors to confine Di Jiu in the conference hall. Everyone knew what the people who wanted to kill Di Jiu were thinking. All the Immortal Emperors who came out of the hall could only wait for the outcome outside.

A violent rumble could be heard constantly during the huge battle while the Thunder Saber Move ripped apart the entire hall. Everyone increasingly looked up to Di Jiu’s toughness.

The way Di Jiu carried his saber, nobody would think that the 10,000-feet Thunder Saber Move was coming from him. Li Lei was the thunder-element cultivator, so everyone believed that this was definitely Li Lei’s trump card.

Because of Di Jiu’s level-nine Strangulation Immortal Array and the Immortal Essence domain that was swept by the huge battle, everyone outside the hall did not see it clearly until the Thunder Saber Move ripped apart the hall. They could only watch some vague silhouettes. Di Jiu’s Strangulation Array, which had been set up by Nomological Array flags, could not be permeated with Spiritual Force at will.

Moreover, nobody would permeate it with Spiritual Force by force. This huge battle would most likely end with Li Lei killing Di Jiu. They would be disrespecting Li Lei if their Spiritual Force went in now. Li Lei’s methods were obviously not very splendid and now that he had been discovered, he would definitely be remembered by Li Lei. Not every surviving cultivator in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent would act like Shan Xing, who did not care about Li Lei.

This huge battle, which everyone had expected, did not last long before vanishing without a trace. The hall ruins were currently still blocked by a dazed invisibility array and nobody would see properly unless an expert broke it.

“The Thunder Emperor should not have imprisoned both the Guild Masters of the Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association. They also came to help in any case.” The Righteous Sword Sect’s Sect Master, Fu Xueling, sighed and silently wondered what was happening.

Everyone should have joined forces to deal with these Beast Tides, but the Thunder Emperor had ended up imprisoning the people who had come to help instead and driven away the formidable Zhong Ao. This was not over yet. Even Di Jiu had come to take revenge. From the looks of it, Di Jiu would be killed by the Thunder Emperor.

Shan Xing, who had already offended the Thunder Emperor, snorted and said, “He is so selfish that I even suspect that this Beast Tide is related to him. I’m not saying this because the Two-Trace Island’s Insular Lord Yong Zuocheng is my friend. It’s because Li Lei does not have any right to lead us in killing the Beast Tide. Did Insular Lord Yong say anything wrong at the time? Still, Li Lei plotted against him and he perished in the Beast Tide eventually.”

“City Lord Shan, these words are slightly too much. I won’t say anything about the rest since everyone can weigh this in their hearts. It’s too much to say that this Beast Tide is related to the Thunder Emperor. This Beast Tide would engulf the Thunder Court Immortal Continent sooner or later. What is the Thunder Emperor’s motive for drawing the Beast Tide over even if he was capable of doing so? Does he want to destroy his sect?” a mid-stage Immortal Emperor among the crowd could not help but retort.

He was actually not Li Lei’s man. The few Immortal Emperors who truly thought like Li Lei were still in a huge battle with Di Jiu.

Tie Beishan, who had pointed out the Primeval Thunder Rock that Di Jiu stepped on, said loudly, “City Lord Shan’s words are indeed a bit too much. However, I also think it’s strange that the current Beast Tide suddenly appeared in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. Our Heaven Earth Law is considered to be relatively excellent, and there is no problem with the Boundary Protection Large Array. Nevertheless, this void Beast Tide suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I wonder how these void demon beasts came in…”

“That’s right, I thought of the Square Immortal Continent. Its sunset state seems to have appeared suddenly out of nowhere.”

“I heard that the Square Immortal Continent’s sunset state was caused by someone who took away the Square Immortal Cauldron that ensured the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World. The Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s light from providence has not vanished…”

“It did not vanish, yet once this Beast Tide engulfs the Thunder Court Immortal Continent, how will it be any different?”

“Could someone want to destroy the Four Major Immortal Continents?”

…

The more they talked about it, the more misleading it was. The situation seemed like a mist with a seed thrown inside. There was a cause and reason for everything, just like why the Square Immortal Continent had entered a sunset state out of nowhere. Could the Thunder Court Immortal Continent sink into the Beast Tide?

“Someone has come out…” These words interrupted everyone’s guesses and disputes.

The Mist Large Array in the hall ruins vanished and a young man in blue carried his Heavenly Aqua Saber and walked out with Black Fire. The Primeval Thunder Rock was still under his feet.

“The Thunder Emperor has vanished…”

“Xue Ou and the others have also vanished…”

Everyone realized what was different very soon. Only Di Jiu and the beast companion beside him had come out. The Thunder Emperor and six other Immortal Emperors who had surrounded Di Jiu all disappeared without a trace.

Even an idiot would know that Di Jiu had come out alone after killing seven people, including the Thunder Emperor.

Someone recalled that 10,000-feet0long Thunder Saber Move when he saw the Heavenly Aqua Saber behind Di Jiu. They had previously thought the Thunder Saber Move had come from the Thunder Emperor, but now they knew the truth.

“Daoist Di Jiu, where is the Thunder Emperor?” Tie Beishan had the highest cultivation level around. The Thunder Emperor had gone missing, so he immediately asked Di Jiu with cupped fists about him.

Di Jiu replied softly, “He has been killed by me.”

Everyone went silent. Even though they could have guessed this outcome, they were all shocked in that peaceful space. The Thunder Emperor had been killed? Everyone would have thought this was an insult to the Thunder Emperor if it had been said earlier.

No matter how impressive Di Jiu was, he was only a ninth-stage Immortal Emperor at most. The Thunder Emperor had indeed broken through and become a ninth-stage Immortal Emperor many years ago and also had the thunder-element Spirit Root. Before he could even battle with the Thunder Emperor, he would have to suffer endless thunder streaks.

There were six other Immortal Emperors beside the Thunder Emperor at the time, but what about Di Jiu? He only had an immortal beast companion that had not reached level nine yet.

Tie Beishan could only sigh. Even though he knew it would be better to say nothing for now, he still said, “Alchemy Emperor Di, the Thunder Emperor had a bad temper. Now, there’s one less person during the Beast Tide…”

Di Jiu replied coldly, “You mean that Li Lei wants to kill me and I can only wait to be captured and killed?”

Tie Beishan did not want to speak up for the Thunder Emperor at all. However, he wanted to become the best in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent now and replace the Thunder Emperor, so he had to step forward and say something. If Di Jiu’s strength was not too terrifying, he might kill the other party and claim victory for the Thunder Court Immortal Continent.

Upon seeing that Di Jiu looked unfriendly, an old man standing aside hurriedly went up and said, “Let bygones be bygones. Sect Master Shan, Alchemy Emperor Di, the Thunder Court Immortal Continent is being swept by the Beast Tide now. We should find a place to discuss how to deal with that. I’m afraid the Defense Array outside isn’t going to last any longer.”

Tie Beishan, who had not originally stood up for Li Lei, immediately extricated himself. “That’s right, that’s right. We should be attaching more importance to the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s safety…”

Di Jiu said faintly, “As far as the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Beast Tide is concerned, wait until I’ve met the two Guild Masters of the Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association.”

Shan Xing stepped forward excitedly. He had wanted to get rid of Li Lei to take revenge for Yong Zuocheng. It was a pity that his strength was too weak and he was not a match for Li Lei whatsoever. He felt more carefree now that Di Jiu had gotten rid of Li Lei. “Alchemy Emperor Di, I’m certain that both Guild Masters are kept in the Thunder Yang Sect. We can find them as long as we head over.”

“Let’s go to the Thunder Yang Sect to discuss the Beast Tide in that case,” Tie Beishan said casually. He wanted to use this chance to get rid of that sect.

Di Jiu shot a cold gaze at Tie Beishan and naturally knew what he intended to do. He still wanted to break the Thunder Yang Sect’s Defense Array, even though he was aware that Tie Beishan was exploiting him.
