Chapter 322: Challenging The Perfected Immortal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Are you a Perfected Immortal expert?” asked Gai Jinxuan subconsciously as he regained his composure.

He knew Di Jiu couldn’t possibly be a Perfected Immortal expert after he had asked the question. This was because the Quintessential Essence fluctuation on Di Jiu was very obvious and it certainly wasn’t an Immortal Essence fluctuation.

Di Jiu, who had guessed that Mo Yuxuan had been traumatized, didn’t touch her. He even took out a few array flags to protect her. Then, he turned to stare coldly at Gai Jinxuan.

Gai Jinxuan didn’t look like the sort of person who would make use of a cultivator’s Blood Essence for cultivation. However, Di Jiu was sure that he had an ulterior motive for capturing Mo Yuxuan.

“I am Gai Jinxuan, the City Lord of the Great Fortune Immortal City. I see that you have a thing or two. I will let you join us in the Great Fortune Immortal City if you excuse me.” Gai Jinxuan was trying hard to sound calm.

Although Di Jiu was not a Perfected Immortal, the fact that he possessed an extremely robust Quintessential Essence and wasn’t even afraid of a Perfected Immortal like him shocked Gai Jinxuan somewhat.

Being able to join an Immortal City that had Immortal Arrays which could gather fortune was the wildest wish of any Itinerant Cultivator. Even if the other party knew that the female cultivator came from the Virtuous Nirvana Sect, it would be useless to use the female cultivator as a sex slave if one could not stay in the Great Fortune Immortal City to cultivate.

“Is this guy a City Lord?” Di Jiu’s eyes lit up. He flashed the Heavenly Aqua Saber, which transformed into a blue beam that loomed over Gai Jinxuan.

When Gai Jinxuan saw that Di Jiu didn’t give any regard to what he had just said and had launched an offensive attack instead, he flew into a rage. He had been a City Lord of an Immortal City for a long time now. Thus, he couldn’t take Di Jiu’s indifference lying down.

His Perfected Immortal domain crashed towards Di Jiu as he flashed his Dharma treasure. Gai Jinxuan could see that Di Jiu possessed great strength but had previously attacked in a haste. Thanks to his Perfected Immortal domain, he didn’t believe that an ordinary cultivator from the Cultivation World would stand a chance against him if he put in his utmost effort.

Boom! Gai Jinxuan’s Perfected Immortal domain collided with Di Jiu’s domain, resulting in an outburst of Quintessential Essence and Immortal Essence.

Logically speaking, a domain made of Quintessential Essence wouldn’t be able to compare to one made of Immortal Essence in terms of strength or tenacity. However, when Di Jiu’s domain collided with Gai Jinxuan’s domain, cracks appeared on Gai Jinxuan’s domain instead of on Di Jiu’s.

Ferocious Essence Energy boomed out gullies in the already tattered ruins. Gai Jinxuan discovered in shock that his domain could no longer control the space. Conversely, his opponent’s domain was going to whirl him in.

How was this possible? His was an Immortal Essence domain, whereas his opponent’s was only a Quintessential Essence domain.

This had turned his understanding of the path of Dao upside down. Regardless of how strong the Quintessential Essence was, how could it possibly compare to the Immortal Essence? The difference had been intrinsic!

Crack! His Perfected Immortal domain had finally let out an audible crack. This meant that his domain was starting to collapse. Then, he felt the aura coming from his opponent’s domain. It was an aura of a vast galaxy.

He felt like an unimportant little star in the vast galaxy while he was subjected to Di Jiu’s domain. Meanwhile, his tattered domain was like a torn rag that would be annihilated soon in the flowing galaxy.

Gai Jinxuan hadn’t experienced a Golden Immortal domain before, but he suspected Di Jiu’s domain might not be weaker than it. If this continued, he wouldn’t need to fight anymore. He would be smothered by his opponent’s domain and die.

Gai Jinxuan didn’t dare wait any longer. He activated his Immortal Essence as the Dharma treasure he was holding transformed into six dazzling beams that shone at Di Jiu.

The six beams were just starting to tear apart Di Jiu’s domain when they collided with Di Jiu’s Wind-Rustling Move.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ferocious Essence Energy exploded. Then, Quintessential Essence and Immortal Essence collided once again.

Di Jiu was in awe of Gai Jinxuan’s Dharma treasure, which was a Six Diamond Spinning Top. Di Jiu hadn’t seen a Dharma treasure like it before. His Wind-Rustling Move had always commanded an unstoppable saber aura, but the Six Diamond Spinning Top had actually blocked it. Once the saber aura was blocked, the saber intent weakened instantly.

The Six Diamond Spinning Top had six razor-sharp blades, including two that were like piercing diamond thorns. Even though it had collided once with Di Jiu’s Wind-Rustling Move, it was still spinning in the air. Soon, a frightening killing aura gathered once again and gushed towards Di Jiu.

Di Jiu quickly punched out with the Furious Waves.

The fist moves formed huge roaring waves. As the waves surged out turbulently, they crashed against the Six Diamond Spinning Top. Then, the endless, continuous waves finally suppressed the Six Diamond Spinning Top.

Gai Jinxuan could see that Di Jiu hadn’t seen his Dharma treasure before. He made use of the intervals as his Six Diamond Spinning Top tore up Di Jiu’s domain and managed to actually step into his domain. Then, the Six Diamond Spinning Top gathered six streaks of diamond flare for a second time.

This was an odd Dharma treasure. Di Jiu didn’t use the Heavenly Aqua Saber, although he felt that his Quintessential Essence was no weaker than Gai Jinxuan’s Immortal Essence. He actually believed that he had a stronger domain than Gai Jinxuan.

Di Jiu believed that he would still be able to kill Gai Jinxuan if the confrontation went on. However, he didn’t have to risk his life like this now that he had thought of an easier way to kill Gai Jinxuan.

Di Jiu opened his hands and grabbed a few thousand supreme-grade saber weapons.

The thousands of saber weapons formed saber waves in space as frightening Saber Dao killing intent pervaded the saber waves. Gai Jinxuan could feel the unparalleled might, even though he was not within the saber array.

This was a level-nine saber array…

Gai Jinxuan felt his scalp go numb. The cultivator before his eyes hadn’t even converted his Essence Energy into Immortal Essence, yet he could already execute this frightening saber array. How strong a Spiritual Force would one need to have? No wonder his domain was so scary.

Gai Jinxuan immediately shook off the thought. Then, to his delight, he discovered that Di Jiu’s saber array wasn’t targeted at him. Instead, it had rushed towards his side rear.

He didn’t care if Di Jiu had miscued. He had to kill Di Jiu as soon as possible. By now, he could tell that Di Jiu’s strength was no weaker than his and Di Jiu’s domain was also much stronger. Only his Immortal Essence stood a chance against Di Jiu’s Quintessential Essence.

He would definitely have suffered a huge loss and retreated with injuries if Di Jiu’s saber array had crashed into him.

Gai Jinxuan finally felt delighted after getting scared by Di Jiu’s saber array. His Six Diamond Spinning Top swirled towards Di Jiu once again. This time, Di Jiu neither avoided nor blocked it. Instead, he rushed towards him.

This was suicide!

Disdain flashed across Gai Jinxuan’s eyes as he furrowed his brows sinisterly. He felt agitated. He had never thought that there would come a day when he would feel so agitated just because he had suppressed a puny Domain Realm cultivator.

His agitation only lasted for a short moment. Before his Six Diamond Spinning Top could completely confine Di Jiu, a huge footprint entered the Six Diamond Spinning Top’s killing aura space and rushed towards his face. Gai Jinxuan stared at it in disbelief. How was this possible?

After his Six Diamond Spinning Top was sent spinning in the void, one could only confront it or avoid it. It was absolutely impossible to break through the space of the killing flare of his Six Diamond Spinning Top Dharma treasure.

Bam! Di Jiu’s foot directly trampled on Gai Jinxuan’s face before he could recover from the shock.

A strong force swept in and Gai Jinxuan was thrown out. The Six Diamond Spinning Top then slowed down without the support of his Immortal Essence and Spiritual Force.

This was spatial order! Gai Jinxuan finally understood why Di Jiu had set up a level-nine saber array at his side rear. It was so he could send him into the saber array with a kick!

In the past, he would have laughed it off if he had known that Di Jiu was trying to kick him into the saber array. Only an idiot would do such a thing.

He was a Perfected Immortal, regardless of how weak he was compared to his opponent. The other party must have been dreaming if he had planned on using his domain to suppress him and kick him into the saber array.

He was finally awakened by Di Jiu’s kick. Even a Golden Immortal would have had nowhere to hide and gotten kicked away, let alone someone like him.

Besides, Di Jiu’s Quintessential Essence strength was limited. If his Quintessential Essence had been turned into Immortal Essence, then this kick would have shattered his skull.

Boom! Saber flare flooded in as Gai Jinxuan grew hopeless. He knew that he had fallen into Di Jiu’s saber array.

The Heavenly Aqua Saber once again transformed into a green flare and slashed into the saber array. Gai Jinxuan felt a chill. Then, his body was torn apart and his Principal Spirit dissipated into nothing as it got slashed by the saber array.

He didn’t once beg for mercy during this process, for he knew that it wouldn’t mean anything. Nobody would let him off now.

Di Jiu put away the saber array and Gai Jinxuan’s ring. He was determined to turn his Quintessential Essence into Immortal Essence as quickly as possible. Gai Jinxuan had not been able to confront him during this battle because he was a Perfected Immortal, but because he possessed Immortal Essence.

If he’d had Immortal Essence too, he could have killed Gai Jinxuan with one saber move. He wouldn’t have needed the huge footprint or the level-nine saber array.

Mo Yuxuan was still standing lifelessly on her original spot, just like a statue.

Di Jiu took out a Profound Essence Elixir and popped it into Mo Yuxuan’s mouth. Then, he slapped Mo Yuxuan between her eyebrows. The woman grew limp and collapsed.

Di Jiu heaved a sigh of relief and caught hold of Mo Yuxuan.

The Profound Essence Elixir was an elixir for warming and nourishing the Principal Spirit. There was no way that anyone could wake Mo Yuxuan up from her current state. This elixir was just used to nourish her and let her sleep for a period of time before she woke up on her own.

If this was not done, Mo Yuxuan would likely either become an idiot or suffer from Qi Deviation.
