Against such a powerful and bloodthirsty saber intent, the burly cultivator dared not let his guard down. The best course of action now was to retreat, but he chose to lunge at Di Jiu instead. He extended a finger once more, using his full strength this time. The key to his Primeval Void-Breaking Finger was having a powerful Dao rune aura, which would weaken if he chose to retreat.

The Primeval Void-Breaking Finger The aura of this finger move was greater than the first moves. It felt as though everything would be pulverized into nothing as a result of this finger move.

The Heavenly Aqua Sabers Dao runes, which were still condensing in the air, immediately started to show signs of disintegration. Di Jiu was shocked, certain that the first finger move had not been executed using his full strength. This finger move, however, was.

If the first finger move had been attempted using full strength, Di Jius Heaven-Opening Mantra would have been unable to shatter it. Fortunately, after experiencing the first finger move, Di Jiu managed to find the nomological loophole in the second finger move.

This time, the Heavenly Aqua Saber was not oppressed by the opponents finger move.

Crack! The Heavenly Aqua Saber seemed to have carefully calculated its move, as it slashed down onto a small nomological loophole.

The saber failed to completely rip the finger moves Dao runes apart, but they did become looser as a result. The space became volatile, and the Heaven Earth Laws became chaotic once again. Cracks started forming in the void as a result of this collision. Without any hesitation, Di Jiu threw a punch.

Peaks gathered and waves roared! Numerous fist mountains appeared, instantly transforming into a continuous stretch of waves that vaguely contained the saber intent killing aura of the Heavenly Aqua Saber as well.

Boom! The Divine Essence Dao runes exploded in mid-air. At the same time, Di Jiu activated his nomological major array.

The fist mountains and saber waves created by Di Jiu were turned into nothing by the force of his opponents finger move, shattering into Dao rune aura.

Despite facing the onslaught of Di Jius saber and fist move, the finger move struck down without a pause. Crack! Crack! Crack! Deep rumbling sounds could be heard as Di Jius nomological Defense Array cracked and shattered. However, the power of the finger move was negated by Di Jius nomological major array as well.

Bam! The resulting shockwave flung the burly man extremely far back. Di Jiu suffered some losses this time too. They had seemed equals strength-wise, but Di Jiu knew that he had relied on the Array Dao in addition to the two supernormal abilities, which had allowed him to block that finger move and cause some damage to his opponent.

He was no match for this burly cultivator given his current strength, though. If he intended to kill him, he would have to first successfully master the Heaven-Opening Mantra and learn at least five words.

Friend, I admit that I was wrong about this. Of course, if you still insist on fighting, I will not be afraid to accept. The burly man cupped his fists before Di Jiu, as he understood that it was impossible for him to completely oppress Di Jiu despite being slightly stronger than him. Injuring Di Jiu a little would already be a difficult task by itself. He had also seen Di Jiu set up a chain of Divine Arrays.

Besides, the cultivation technique Di Jiu was cultivating seemed a little strange. The man had not used his full strength for the first finger move but he had managed to break Di Jius saber move. On the other hand, he had used his full strength for the second finger move, yet Di Jiu had still managed to break that move easily. It was thus meaningless to continue this fight.

I get it now. You are Dao Lord Po Xu! exclaimed someone from the crowd in shock when they finally recognized the burly man.

Dao Lord Po Xu laughed. I thought that people would recognize me when I executed the first finger move. Unexpectedly, people only recognized me when I said my name.

He had executed the Primeval Void-Breaking Finger to inform people that he had returned. Unfortunately, that had only happened now.

Dao Lord Po Xu, we do not hold any grudges between us. If you wanted to kill me, so be it, but you should not have dragged others into this, Jing Xihua said hastily.

He did not say this to provoke Dao Lord Po Xu, but to make concessions in order to gain advantages. It was clear that Di Jiu was unafraid of Dao Lord Po Xu, and the latter seemed to want to make peace with the former. Therefore, he had chosen to reveal himself in hopes that Dao Lord Po Xu would not continue chasing him.

Upon sensing Dao Lord Po Xus gaze on him, Di Jiu commented coolly, Dao Lord Po Xu? Never heard of such a person. However, I will not let the fact that you destroyed my cave abode go.

This was not a threat, as Di Jiu was similarly unable to do anything to Dao Lord Po Xu. On the other hand, he would try his utmost to attain Dao Integration once this matter was over. He would have nothing to fear about Po Xu if he achieved Dao Integration.

Po Xus formability relied on that finger move. The reason Di Jiu could not break that move was because his cultivation was low and the Heaven-Opening Mantra was incomplete.

Dao Lord Po Xu waved his hand at Jing Xihua dismissively. Ill let the matter between you and me rest. I will be with

Then, Dao Lord Po Xu cupped his fists before Di Jiu. Ive yet to ask for your name, fellow Daoist Of course, I will pay what I owe for what I destroyed, especially since I damaged your restaurant.

There were two meanings to what he said. One, he indicated his willingness to pay Di Jiu back for any loss incurred; two, he indicated his intention to befriend Di Jiu.

Di Jiu mused how easy it was for old folks to let go of grudges. Perhaps pride meant nothing to them.

Di Jiu

Di Jiu had just said his name when Lightning interjected. Everyone else calls him the Head.

Dao Lord Po Xu seemed to not have heard that, as he continued to look at Di Jiu with a smile and said, Brother Di, why dont we find a place to have a chat?

Then, he sent a voice transmission. Daoist Di, I have a solution to allow you to attain Dao Integration.

Di Jiu was moved when he heard what Dao Lord Po Xu had said, as he had been thinking about attaining the Dao Integration Realm. He had seen many Dao Integration cultivators before and had even killed numerous cultivators from the ancient past. However, in truth, Po Xu was the most powerful Dao Integration cultivator he had ever encountered.

Since Po Xu held the title of a Dao Lord, this meant that he must have previously been at the third step. With that thought in mind, Di Jiu opened his palm again, setting up a supreme-grade cave abode. Then, he extended his hand and gestured toward the cave abode. In that case, come in so we can have a chat.

Po Xu was very satisfied. He would not have pushed his pride aside if it werent for the fact that he wanted to become acquainted with Di Jiu. In the past, he had been an apex expert who had not needed to lower himself before a Primordial Chaos weakling like Di Jiu. Plus, the latter was no match for him at the current stage.

As for whether Di Jiu would take vengeance on him, he had never bothered entertaining such a thought.

The outside area became extremely lively when Di Jiu and Po Xu entered the cave abode.

This was the first time that all the cultivators gathered there understood just how powerful the manager of the Mountain Gaze Restaurant was. Even Dao Lord Po Xu was helpless against the man.

Jing Xihua could finally relax, for since an expert like Po Xu had said that he would let him off, the man would certainly keep his promise.

Lightning became the most popular, as throngs of cultivators approached it when they realized just how powerful the Head Lightning served was.

Di Jiu invited Dao Lord Po Xu to the guest hall, poured him a cup of Starry Sky Tea, and remained silent.

He would not have offered Dao Lord Po Xu a cup of Starry Sky Tea if the latter had not offered a piece of information that was of extreme importance to him. After all, Po Xu had destroyed his restaurants signboard for no reason.

Good tea! exclaimed Dao Lord Po Xu after taking a sip. His claim was different from the claims of others, as he had sensed the aura of the Creation Wood within.
