Chapter 912: Nowhere to Escape

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Is that the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush? What a powerful physical body...” After Cao Xi said that in shock, she did not have any intention of letting Di Jiu off. The divine beast underneath her feet swept up void laws that broke through the void and rushed toward Di Jiu. In just a few seconds, Cao Xi was shocked. Without hesitation, she put away her divine beast before she chased after Di Jiu hurriedly.

After he executed his nomological escape technique, Di Jiu was relieved. He believed that, thanks to his nomological escape technique, not even a third-step expert could catch up.

However, where had Cao Xi come from? Why was she so terrifying? Her beast companion was terrifying as well.

Furthermore, she had yet to draw her Dharma treasure. If she drew it, he was afraid that he would get seriously injured. Perhaps she didn’t know that he had the nomological escape technique. Otherwise, he might not even have had the chance to execute it.

Now, he had to spend more time to perfect his Dao. If he wanted to fight with a woman like Cao Xi, it would not be safe even if he advanced to the perfected Dao Integration. He had to integrate his Dao.

When he integrated his Dao and reached the third step, his strength would substantially soar. Then, no matter how powerful this woman called Cao Xi was, he would not be afraid.

Actually, that wasn’t right. Di Jiu suddenly recalled something. Cao Xi had not used her true attacking methods. When she had grabbed him twice, Di Jiu had sensed completely different Dao runes of divine power coming from the Five-Element Universe.

Very soon, he understood what was going on. Like him, Cao Xi had integrated her Dao and constructed her own cosmic laws. However, he had just started, while she was almost there. Once she reached the third step, she would crush him like an ant.

This woman had an extraordinary background. Fortunately, he knew her name and would be able to find out more when he asked those old hags.

In just half an hour, Di Jiu’s expression turned ugly. Ever since he’d cultivated his nomological escape technique successfully, this was the first time he was seeing that someone could catch up. According to his Spiritual Force, it seemed as though Cao Xi was walking through the tracks where he had escaped. Regardless of how fast he was or how far he went, this woman followed him.

What consoled Di Jiu was that it was not the six-winged divine beast that had caught up with him. Otherwise, he was sure that he would have nowhere to escape.

By using the divine beast to tail him, this woman showed that she didn’t need to make great effort. No matter how fast he was, he had nowhere to escape to.

Di Jiu executed his nomological escape technique even more frantically. After dozens of days, he discovered that something was amiss. Regardless of how fast he was, that woman could still catch up, which drove him crazy. Since she was already so fast, she might as well be even faster.

However, that woman couldn’t be any faster. This made Di Jiu suspect whether she had adjusted her speed according to his.

Nonetheless, he knew that this could not go on, or he would be captured soon.

When he fled again, he raised his hand to tear the void. He was glad that during his recent seclusion, he had integrated part of his Heaven Earth Law. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to tear the void.

After he tore the void, his speed increased. However, what left him helpless was that even though he had torn the void, that woman had still caught up.

He could neither beat her in a fight nor escape. Di Jiu could only rely on constantly tearing the void before he used the difference in the Void Realm to escape from her.

Di Jiu had some experience escaping in the void. This was not his first time escaping like this. He had used the void whirlpool to escape the previous time. Then, he had stayed in that void whirlpool for thousands of years before he’d escaped the pursuit of the other party.

Today, Di Jiu had torn many voids and escaped a very long distance away. However, he had yet to see a void whirlpool.

That woman didn’t seem too difficult to handle, but she was shrewd while chasing after him. Di Jiu only hoped that she would find it boring after chasing him for some time and stop first.

As long as she didn’t chase after him, he would escape far away. Then, he would create his own cosmic laws and integrate his own nomological Dao runes and come back to see how this woman was going to settle the score with him.

What made Di Jiu have a mental breakdown was that such a formidable woman seemed to have nothing better to do. Regardless of how he escaped or how many voids he tore, she would still follow him.

...

At first, Di Jiu was still worried that Cao Xi would suddenly pick up her speed and capture him. In the end, he was sure that she definitely couldn’t do so. The reason that Cao Xi could catch up with him was likely not that her escape technique was faster than his. Instead, this was related to his nomological escape technique.

His nomological escape technique made use of the Heaven Earth Law of the Five-Element Universe. Cao Xi should know the Heaven Earth Law of the Five-Element Universe inside out. Therefore, regardless of how fast he escaped, she could chase after him by following his tracks. If he escaped a little slower, she would be slower as well. This was completely based on the law of his escape technique.

If Di Jiu used the Spiritual Force escape technique, Cao Xi would very likely be unable to use the laws of his escape technique. However, he didn’t dare use the Spiritual Force escape technique. Even if she couldn’t make use of the laws of his escape technique, she should be faster than his Spiritual Force escape technique.

If she was faster than his Spiritual Force escape technique, he would get no chance to change back to the nomological escape technique. If he was stopped by this woman, he was absolutely sure that he would not be able to escape.

After understanding the reason behind Cao Xi’s inability to catch up, Di Jiu calmed down. The reason that he was not as good as Cao Xi was because she knew the laws of his divine power and escape technique inside out.

If he completely integrated his cosmic laws, his nomological escape technique would also change its own laws. Then, he would get rid of Cao Xi whenever he wanted.

Di Jiu no longer tried to frantically escape. Instead, he slowly executed his nomological escape technique. At the same time, he created his own cosmic laws and continuously integrated them into his laws.

Someday, his nomological escape technique would completely abandon the laws of the Five-Element Universe and form his own nomological escape technique.

It seemed as if she had sensed that Di Jiu had slowed down. Cao Xi, who had been chasing after Di Jiu, frowned. She knew that he had understood why she could catch up with him. This made her passive. Nevertheless, she wouldn’t allow a person like Di Jiu to mess around in the Five-Element Universe.

She could have perished previously if she didn’t have that capability. As long as she was still alive and able to see, she wouldn’t allow such a thing to continue happening or let a person like Di Jiu continue to do evil.

Regardless of the escape technique he used, he would use one eventually. Therefore, she wasn’t worried that she wouldn’t be able to catch up with Di Jiu.

Year after year, Di Jiu tore many voids and escaped a long distance away. He also created a lot of his own cosmic laws. This seemed to have become a habit. As he escaped, he would integrate his own Heaven Earth Law.

He would escape in a hurry and then slow down until he was calm...

That day, Di Jiu was still frantically escaping in the void. He had never seen a cultivator in the past few decades in his Spiritual Force, which had already become a habit for him. On the contrary, he was admiring Cao Xi, who had been chasing after him, more and more.

This woman had been doing a meaningless thing for hundreds of years yet she still persevered. He had to admire her for that.

The huge void whirlpool that Di Jiu had been searching for suddenly appeared before him. Without hesitation, he rushed into it. In the past, he had used such a void whirlpool to escape pursuit. Even though he was sure that Cao Xi couldn’t catch up with him, he didn’t want a woman following him.
