Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Amidst the standoff on the battlefield, Chang Gen and Maitreya were still waiting for Zhentu and Shen Zong to return.

Doubts began to arise in their hearts. Logically, Hun Bugui and Shi Xiu were far weaker than them, and Shi Xiu’s Ghostly Soul had long lost its suppressive effect on them.

The restraint of the Dharma Aspect on the external items of the Yama Hall was also significant. Killing just two people, there was no reason they shouldn’t have returned by now.

”If Shi Xiu is bent on escaping, it would indeed be troublesome.”

Maitreya spoke in this way.

After all, both are strong cultivators of the Divine Dao Realm. If they truly intended to escape, it would indeed take some effort.

Though this was reasonable, Chang Gen still had an uneasy feeling.

Seeing this, Maitreya couldn’t help but speak up, ”You don’t really think Shi Xiu and his companion could kill Zhentu and the others, do you?”

If, given all the favorable conditions, they could still be killed by the opponent, then they truly deserved to die.

Although Maitreya didn’t explicitly say it, this was what he thought in his heart.

Moreover, if Zhentu and Shen Zong left, then they wouldn’t be able to leave this place either, as the platform still needed them to guard it.

Above, the celestial curtain constantly manifested but never showed any further change. Likewise, apart from the skirmishes between the cultivators around the platform, there was no other movement.

Beneath the celestial curtain, the figure sat motionless in the void, appearing extremely patient.

At least, that was what Chang Gen thought.

Wu Tang indeed sat high in the clouds, smiling calmly and leisurely.

In reality...

”Bastard, what endurance.”

Wu Tang was already cursing in his heart. With this prolonged standoff, Di Liuxin may be watching safely from somewhere unknown, while he seemed like a fool guarding here.

The outcome was already decided.

Clearly, it should have been Celestial Dao Sect attacking them, but why now did it seem like they were the ones attacking the opponent?

Aside from the beam of light shooting towards the celestial curtain, there seemed to be no other movement on the platform below.

This was also why Wu Tang could persist, as long as there was no movement, he preferred to wait until the power of the platform was exhausted before making a move.

Just as he was thinking this, a colorful glow spread across the horizon, the rolling clouds continuously gathering.

He’s coming!

Wu Tang’s expression finally lifted, immediately standing in the void, his battle intent overflowing.

As the colorful glow swept towards the celestial curtain, Wu Tang immediately pushed back with his hand, the mighty celestial curtain like a wave, knocking away about one-tenth of the glow with just one crest.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the clouds.

Di Liuxin!

Wu Tang gritted his teeth, speaking each word slowly, ”You’ve finally appeared.”

Di Liuxin stepped forward, the next moment the colorful glow surged continuously, forming layers of steps, elevating him further as he stepped into the void.

This display was infuriating, causing literal steam to come out of the other’s seven orifices.

We are all of the same cultivation level; what you know, I also know, so why flaunt it?

Di Liuxin stopped at a place, shaking his head somewhat disappointedly.

”I’ve given you plenty of opportunities to disrupt my setup, but after two days, you haven’t taken any action, so I had to come.”

Such words strike the heart!

Wu Tang’s ashen face was enough to show how infuriated he was by Di Liuxin’s words.

Meanwhile, Di Liuxin also secretly reveled for a moment.

Finally understanding why the old master enjoyed verbal sparring, angering others actually brought pleasure.

”Then why don’t you try mine?”

Wu Tang repressed his anger, retorting sharply.

Since I don’t dare touch yours, do you dare touch mine?

What he didn’t expect was that Di Liuxin actually nodded calmly, giving him a response.

”Alright!”

What did ”alright” mean?

Naturally, it meant I will break it!

Almost at the moment he said this, Di Liuxin, with his hands behind his back, appeared in front of Wu Tang.

After the two energies collided violently, they triggered a mighty storm.

At this moment, the celestial curtain above suddenly descended, enclosing them completely.

Seizing this opportunity, Wu Tang manifested his own Dharma Aspect, a fearsome ghost appearing, instantly towering fifty feet high.

The next moment Wu Tang also threw out a piece of sandalwood, which grew in the wind into a massive coffin. The ghost carried the coffin, its sinister aura permeating, and it instantly swelled to seventy feet high.

”Suppress!”

The Dharma Aspect and man moved together, pressing down towards the figure within the celestial curtain.

Things seemed to be progressing unusually smoothly within the celestial curtain, with sounds of solid impacts echoing from heavy blows.

The aftershock even spread several miles away.

Wu Tang’s face showed joy, believing he had severely injured the opponent. Yet, at this moment, the previously motionless celestial curtain started to surge, with the figure within beginning to fly out at a strange speed.

In an instant, the celestial curtain retreated ten miles, the entire sky suddenly bright and clear once more.

Wu Tang’s face changed involuntarily. Damn it, the treasure was snatched away.

That heavenly curtain was a treasured possession of their Yama Hall. It was crafted precisely to obscure arrays, and now it had been taken away.

Just as he was about to summon it back, Di Liuxin suddenly broke free, completely unharmed, and with a cold smile, he waved his hand, causing the massive heavenly curtain to continuously change, reducing in size and flying into his sleeve.

In just a few blinks of an eye, it had shrunk to the size of a piece of silk and slipped into Di Liuxin’s sleeve.

Wu Tang’s face instantly looked as if he had swallowed a fly. Bastard, Di Liuxin still had such a trick!

At the same time, without the heavenly curtain’s cover, the brilliance shot from the high platform soared into the sky. After a few breaths, an array began to manifest under the permeation of the radiance.

Along with the manifestation of the Dharma Aspect was the boundless millstone!

”Damn it!”

Wu Tang’s expression changed again and again, Di Liuxin was going for the array.

It had finally begun!

Han Yu, hiding on the side, finally had a look of joy on his face, but he couldn’t help but wear a look of worry as well.

Because Yama Hall was being suppressed so severely!

Despite Wu Tang’s series of tactics, even Di Liuxin could not be played.

It would have been alright if he lost, but it seemed like even their treasure had just been snatched.

”No wonder Soul Unreturned didn’t want to continue sticking with Yama Hall; how could you, with such a huge gap?”

Previously, he had thought too highly of Yama Hall, and now the contrast was too great.

Last time overseas, they couldn’t handle the situation, and now, even with a clear provocation, they still couldn’t manage.

So, in the end, he had to take the risk and make a move.

The high platform was clearly Di Liuxin’s focus this time around. If it was destroyed, whatever Celestial Dao Sect intended to do this time would likely be all for naught.

”Di Liuxin might tear you apart.”

Artifact Spirit looked distressed, feeling this was really asking for it. Di Liuxin had painstakingly plotted against Yama Hall for several moves, and they had been in a stalemate for days.

If Han Yu actually destroyed the high platform, one could only imagine how furious he would be, probably wanting to devour someone.

”Are you going to make a move now?”

Artifact Spirit asked worriedly. Han Yu contemplated, stopping his would-be escape.

He felt that Di Liuxin, this old fox, probably had a backup plan. The high platform could be dealt with, but it should wait for Wu Tang to take the first hit.

The problem was Wu Tang didn’t dare to go!

Even a fool knew there was a trap laid on that high platform, and there’s no way he’d foolishly walk into it.

”If you won’t come down, then I’ll go up.”

Di Liuxin gave a cold smile before instantly rushing skyward, launching an assault toward Wu Tang.

The two silhouettes immediately entwined, Wu Tang with his Dharma Aspect flanking on both sides, his strikes as powerful as heavenly thunder, continuously booming. Di Liuxin’s expression remained calm, and amidst fists and palms, massive handprints appeared one after another. In just the blink of an eye, they had exchanged over a hundred blows.

In the vast void, apart from the explosions, there was nothing else. The mighty shock waves rolled down below. The first to suffer were the cultivators fighting down below.

Those who couldn’t dodge were annihilated on the spot, and even the lucky ones were knocked away by the shockwaves.

For a time, the impact spread far and wide, forcing the cultivators below to flee without regarding anything else.

Beside the high platform, only Chang Gen and Maitreya could still guard it safely, with the surroundings now empty.

The battle above seemed to be escalating fiercely. In the ferocious fight, Wu Tang attempted numerous times to suppress the opponent, but Di Liuxin’s human and Dharma Aspect fusion was undeniably vexing.

It seemed that every clash was with his physical body, but he knew this guy had a Dharma Aspect hidden within yet to be released.

And he knew Di Liuxin was holding back. That bastard was holding back even in combat with him.

This made Wu Tang immensely frustrated, clearly indicating the significant power disparity between them.

”What are you still waiting for?”

Wu Tang yelled in fury, simultaneously unfolding the Netherworld Ghosts and Demons with his Dharma Aspect. Suddenly, the ghostly domain spanned twenty miles, covering the surrounding skies, and in the next moment, countless Ghostly Souls charged out, surging like tides.

Di Liuxin said nothing, watching the tide of ghosts coldly. With a single pointed finger, his fingertip radiated brilliant light, and with just one impact, the Ghostly Souls were utterly defeated.

”Another countermeasure to suppress!”

Wu Tang’s heart was inexplicably horrified. He wasn’t shocked by Di Liuxin’s strength; even if Di Liuxin had used other methods to destroy his ghostly domain, it wouldn’t have been as shocking.

Though the form of the methods was different, Wu Tang could feel the same kind of rhythm from within, akin to the aura within Chang Gen and others’ Dharma Aspects.

Essentially, it was the same kind of power.

A power specifically to restrain Yama Hall!

This was quite a terrifying issue. For those in the Divine Dao Realm, they still had other methods, but what about those cultivators at the foundational level?

If the Netherworld Ghosts and Demons were countered, then those Ghostly Soul tactics were needless to mention. Given Chang Gen and the others’ performance, their power could likely counter Yama Hall’s treasures as well.

It seemed that the Celestial Dao Sect hadn’t spent thousands of years doing nothing. Yama Hall could cleverly let cultivators acquire ghost series divine techniques or cleverly enhance their strength.

But the opponent’s way of restraint was even more ruthless; it cut off the source!

He didn’t even know how far the other side had progressed. If the cultivators of Celestial Dao Sect also mastered this power,

then the foundational advantage Yama Hall painstakingly cultivated would be completely overturned.

”How dare you be distracted!”

Di Liuxin snorted coldly, not caring for Wu Tang’s uncontrollable shudder, and instantly made a fierce move.

A bright moon suddenly appeared over his head, crashing down instantly. Wu Tang recovered his senses, but it was too late. He, along with his Dharma Aspect, gritted his teeth and withstood that bright moon. Di Liuxin stood atop the moon with a cold face and a mocking expression.

With a gentle tap of his foot, the moon transformed into an endless Sword Intent, instantly engulfing Wu Tang and his Dharma Aspect together...
