Ninth in The World - Chapter 202

Chapter 202






A roaring sound was heard once again in the sky . The second wave of 18 Thunder Tribulation streaks landed . Meanwhile, the Heavenly Aqua Saber emitted a clear sound and landed in Di Jiu's hand .

Before Di Jiu could check the level of the Heavenly Aqua Saber, more than 10 thunder streaks landed on his body .

Crack! Crack! The thunder streaks that landed this time were simply too many, and Di Jiu had yet to take out the Heavenly Aqua Saber . Thus, several of his bones broke under the assault of the thunder streaks .

Thanks to the circulation of the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art, his broken bones healed swiftly . Di Jiu, who could feel the strength of his physical body increasing, gathered his Quintessential Essence and attempted to break through the Void Spirit Realm barrier .

Bam! Bam! Deep Quintessential Essence sounds were heard from his body . The bones that had yet to completely heal broke once again due to this violent assault . Meanwhile, fresh blood spurted out of the wounds the thunder streaks created .

Di Jiu did not understand . Why were the shackles of his Void Spirit Realm cultivation so sturdy that he was unable to break through despite clearly being able to touch the barrier?

Boom! Boom! Boom! The third wave of 27 thunder streaks landed . Di Jiu's heart sank when he saw the vast amount of coarse thunder streaks .

Nine thunder streaks were added each time . Could he resist the 36 thunder streaks of the fourth wave if he had yet to attain the Void Spirit Realm by the time it came? Something was not right . This was Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, so the fourth wave should also include 27 thunder streaks .

After the fourth wave, this Thunder Tribulation should be over . However, if he failed to break through to the Void Spirit Realm, he would not be able to resist 27 thunder streaks .

Di Jiu did not care about the injuries he was going to sustain anymore . As he circulated the Galaxy Art to the maximum, the entire galaxy meridian was filled with dense, pure Quintessential Essence Aura .

This Quintessential Essence Aura followed the path of the Galaxy Art and transformed into surging waves that rushed at the Void Spirit Realm acupoint meridian barrier once more .

The Violent Thunder Origin Aura and Di Jiu's surging Quintessential Essence merged and rushed over at the Void Spirit Realm acupoint meridian barrier . Di Jiu opened his mouth and spat out a fountain of blood . This frightening strength created numerous wounds on his body .

Di Jiu was currently covered in blood . Just as he was about to give up all hope, a faint cracking sound gave him new hope . A crevice had appeared on the Void Spirit Realm cultivation barrier .





The boundless Quintessential Essence and Thunder Tribulation Aura trapped within the galaxy meridian found a way out . Suddenly, Di Jiu felt his cultivation level soar rapidly . The surrounding Spirit Stones cracked and were converted into pure Spirit Qi that Di Jiu absorbed .


A roar was heard in the sky . The fourth wave of the Thunder Tribulation had arrived . Di Jiu was no longer as worried as he had been before . After breaking through to the Void Spirit Realm, the fourth wave of Thunder Tribulation would be inconsequential .

Sounds of explosions encompassed the entire area . Were there 36 thunder streaks? This was a 10-9 Thunder Tribulation .

Fortunately, Di Jiu had just broken through to the Void Spirit Realm, so thanks to the circulation of the Tempered Body Art, the 36 thunder streaks did not affect him much .

The Galaxy Art and the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art circulated at the same time . The 36 thunder streaks only created some bloody explosions on Di Jiu's body, thus promoting the stability of his Void Spirit Realm cultivation level . The million of Spirit Stones surrounding him exploded one after another .

Di Jiu opened his palm and threw out five million high-grade Spirit Stones once again before continuing to circulate the Galaxy Art .

As his cultivation level became stabler, his physical body became stronger and his Spiritual Sea started to expand . A distinct engraving appeared on the outer layer of his Spiritual Sea .

Both his Spiritual Sea and Spiritual Force broke through to Level Eight . The strength of the Thunder Tribulation determined the benefits gained indeed .

Boom! Boom! Boom! A roar came from the sky again . Before Di Jiu could react, the fifth Thunder Tribulation landed .

Were these 45 Tribulation Thunders? Di Jiu was stunned . There seemed to be something wrong with his Thunder Tribulation .

Back when he had broken through to the Essence Soul Realm, the number of Thunder Tribulation streaks he had faced had been different . This could have been because of the Dao fire . Logically speaking, the Thunder Tribulation necessary to break through to the Void Spirit Realm was a 5-9 Thunder Tribulation, which meant that there would be 45 Thunder Tribulation streaks . However, Di Jiu was already past 90 Thunder Tribulation streaks, and there was still a fifth wave of 45 thunder streaks coming .

Regardless of what was going on, Di Jiu dared not act carelessly . The speed of his galaxy meridian Qi Circulation had reached its limit . Every Qi Circulation absorbed large amounts of Spirit Qi and helped stabilize the speed of his cultivation level .





Boom! Boom! Boom! Crack! The 45 Thunder Tribulation streaks landed . This time, Di Jiu did not unsheathe the Heavenly Aqua Saber to block them .

The fact that there was a fifth wave meant that there could also be a sixth wave . Thus, he would do his best to resist this wave without using the Heavenly Aqua Saber . When he was not able to resist any longer, he would rely on the Heavenly Aqua Saber .

Even though Di Jiu had reached the Void Spirit Realm, the assault of the 45 Thunder Tribulation streaks broke his shoulder bone into pieces .

Di Jiu, who did not care about such a small injury, increased his Spirit Qi adsorption speed . His cultivation, which was at the first-stage Void Spirit Realm, was quickly stabilized . Thanks to the tribulation transcendence environment, it was now closer to the second-stage Void Spirit Realm .

Every cultivator knew very well that the tribulation transcendence was the best time for cultivating . This was because the Law of Heaven and Earth was the most distinct at this time . In more than one instance, cultivators had broken through to the second-stage Void Spirit Realm after going through the tribulation transcendence .

The fifth wave of Thunder Tribulation left right before the sixth wave landed . As expected, there were 54 thunder streaks this time .

Di Jiu did not unsheathe the Heavenly Aqua Saber again . Thus, the condensed thunder streaks landed on him almost instantly . He absorbed the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Origin and Spirit Qi, which were transformed into Quintessential Essence through the grinding motion of the galaxy meridian .

As Di Jiu's cultivation level continued to rise, he ignored the skin the Thunder Tribulation streaks split open completely .

Crack… Di Jiu's bones, including the ones shattered by the Thunder Tribulation, kept making cracking sounds and emitting faint light . Di Jiu was extremely pleased . Although his cultivation level did not break through to the second-stage Void Spirit Realm, his Tempered Body broke through to the True Monarch Realm .

Boom! The seventh and eighth wave of the Thunder Tribulation landed simultaneously and the condensed Thunder Tribulation streaks engulfed the space Di Jiu occupied completely .

The two waves of Thunder Tribulation, which contained more than 100 Thunder Tribulation streaks that landed at the same time, were unable to make Di Jiu sprawl on the ground . The Spirit Origin of the Thunder Tribulation caused Di Jiu's cultivation level to rapidly soar . Before the ninth wave landed, Di Jiu broke through to the first-stage Void Spirit Realm and attained the second-stage Void Spirit Realm .

Meanwhile, a ninth wave of 81 thunder streaks landed .

Di Jiu was completely relieved . His cultivation level had broken through to the second-stage Void Spirit Realm and his Tempered Body had attained the Monarch Realm, the last realm of the Three-Monarch Realm . There was no way those 81 thunder streaks could harm him now .





They all landed on Di Jiu, creating explosive sounds . As expected, other than reopening his wounds, the thunder streaks did not cause any substantial damage . Instead, they helped Di Jiu's cultivation of the second-stage Void Spirit Realm become much stabler .

After the ninth Thunder Tribulation, the sky calmed down completely . Di Jiu did not see any Spirit Clouds when he lifted his head, but that did not matter to him . This Thunder Tribulation might be more powerful than the one of the Essence Soul Realm, yet the injuries he had sustained were much less severe . He had started to undergo a body-tempering process that the strength of his Spiritual Sea played a huge part in .

The Spirit Qi was thin there . Fortunately, Di Jiu had already taken out several million of Spirit Stones . The Spirit Qi formed a whirlpool within the Spirit-Gathering Array, swiftly stabilizing Di Jiu's cultivation level .

Five days later, there was a huge downfall . Di Jiu's cultivation level had been completely stabilized at the second-stage Void Spirit Realm .

Di Jiu performed a dusting spell on himself and changed into a new set of clothes . With a sweep of the Heavenly Aqua Saber, a blue saber flare lashed out .

The saber intent formed a blue sky among the sheets of rain . Thanks to this saber intent, the raindrops falling automatically split into two .

What a good saber move!

Di Jiu gently caressed the Heavenly Aqua Saber as he held it . He sensed that the saber intent restrictions within the saber had increased in number . The saber had been upgraded from a supreme-grade Dharma weapon to a low-grade Spirit Weapon .

He also discovered that, after the upgrade, the blade of the Heavenly Aqua Saber had been shortened by an inch . Instead of four feet five inches long, it was now four feet four inches long .

When Di Jiu opened his palm, a black Dao fire and the Luminous Starry Sky appeared . Di Jiu threw the Supreme Fire Pure Gold into the Dao fire immediately .

The Supreme Fire Pure Gold was at the same rank as a Geocentric Flame Crystal . The reason his Dao fire was able to upgrade to Level Five in such a short time was because of the Geocentric Flame Crystal Master Qian Fenghua had given him . Now that he had obtained this Geocentric Flame Crystal from Hu Yipan, he'd naturally want to quickly upgrade his Dao fire again .

A terrifying black flame erupted the moment the Supreme Fire Pure Gold was enveloped by the Dao fire . The remaining high-grade Spirit Stones, which Di Jiu had forgotten, disintegrated due to the heat of this terrifying flame . The Spirit-Gathering Array set up by Di Jiu also disintegrated swiftly after losing the energy the Spirit Stones provided so it could operate .

The downpour of a circumference of more than 10 miles also disappeared .

This formidable Dao fire shocked Di Jiu . It was only because this was his Dao fire that he would be able to survive despite being so close to it, even though his body was at the Tempered Body Monarch Realm .

The Supreme Fire Pure Gold could upgrade even an average flame at Level Six or higher by two levels . After Di Jiu's Dao fire devoured the gold, it was merely upgraded from Level Five to Level Six .

Di Jiu put away the Dao fire with a lift of his hand . There were no more traces of the place he had been cultivating in previously, as they had all been destroyed by the high temperature of the upgrading process of the Dao fire .

This was still good . He could return to the Five Continent City now .

Di Jiu did not immediately take out the flying boat . Instead, he cast the Spiritual Force escape technique . Now that his Spiritual Force had broken through to Level Eight, he wanted to test out how powerful his Spiritual Force escape technique was .

After casting the Spiritual Force escape technique, Di Jiu appeared several dozen thousand miles away before his figure had even disappeared from its original spot .

Di Jiu controlled his excitement and took out the flying Dharma treasure . By using this trump card of his, he should be able to escape even if he could not beat a True Form Realm Cultivator .

… . .

Di Jiu felt confident as he entered the Five Continent City for the third time .

The Five Continent Dao Convention would end after a few more months, yet the Five Continent Square was still filled with people . At first, Di Jiu had not planned on heading to the Five Continent Square, as he needed to enter seclusion immediately . However, as he was passing by the Five Continent Square, he saw a humongous array formation card with the words 'Five Continent Dao Convention Auction' .

Di Jiu walked over without thinking . The opening of the Five Continent Dao Convention meant that almost all the sects of the Small Central World would be coming . Experts from other continents would be there as well . This auction would definitely be huge . Even though he had broken through to the second-stage Void Spirit Realm, he was still far away from being able to enter the Sea Roll . However, he possessed several hundred thousand Spirit Stones, so he would definitely not miss this auction .

"You are the man who kicked my Junior Brother out of the Five Continent Dao Pagoda?' said a frosty voice by Di Jiu's ear . Di Jiu hastily retreated a few steps . There was an extremely beautiful lady standing in front of him .

The lady, who was slightly shorter than him, carried a blue sword and was wearing a light purple skirt . Her eyes seemed to have come straight out of a painting . If she did not emit a frigid coldness, Di Jiu would think that she was the only woman as beautiful as Qin Yin .
