The bearded, white-skinned man subconsciously trembled as he felt a fear, a fear that hovered between life and death.
He saw it, it was a long arrow, a long arrow made entirely of Dao rhythms. Even before this long arrow was shot out, the killing power of the void that crushed everything made him feel that it suddenly became difficult to move between actions.
Snort! The long arrow tore through the void, breaking through space and leaving the bow. And the bow had turned into nothingness in the instant the long arrow left.
Boom! The long Dao-rhyme arrow blasted against the Phantomless Streamer, and the drumming Streamer deflated in an instant. The long Dao rhyme arrow also shattered into Dao rhyme fragments after it, but the bearded, white-skinned man closed his eyes in despair. Given a few more breaths of time, he would be able to catch his breath. Once he had recovered his breath, he could still deal with Di Jiu. But he knew he didn’t have a few breaths of time, not because Di Jiu wouldn’t give it, but because he couldn’t. It was because the wave of the sword curtain was already sweeping over.
Boom boom boom! The continuous wave of swords swept over, without the stopping power of the phase-less streamer, the next moment the bearded, white-skinned man was drowned under this wave of swords, with no room to resist at all.
“Poof!” Blood mist exploded as the bearded, white-skinned man was torn into shreds of cloth by the sword wave.
This was not the end, Di Jiu had already taken a step forward, and the Tian Sha Blade once again added a slash. Di Jiu knew very well that if he didn’t add this slash, the bearded, white-skinned man wouldn’t have been killed, but at most he would have spent some years healing on that boulder and recovered again.
Di Jiu was not half-hearted, it was not just that the bearded, white-skinned man wanted to finish him off, but that he had to kill this guy. Otherwise, he had something to fight for.
After the curtain of knives pa*sed, everything calmed down and the only remaining phantomless streamer was rolled away by Di Jiu. As for the rest of the bearded, white-skinned man’s things, Di Jiu had no intention of taking them either. This guy’s things were all placed in the world, and he was not yet capable of opening the other man’s world.
After killing the bearded, white-skinned man, Di Jiu didn’t even care about the rest of the people, but accelerated his speed and vanish to the earthy yellow cosmic staircase.
Just as Di Jiu had expected, no one came to stop him this time. The few cultivators who had followed and grabbed the cosmic staircase also looked at Di Jiu’s departing back with scorn in their eyes.
They came to understand that their previous guess was correct, Di Jiu indeed still had a killer move that he hadn’t unleashed. Under Di Jiu’s killer technique, I was afraid that even if the defensive magic treasure was strong, it would still be useless. No matter how strong your defensive magic treasure was, how much stronger could it be than the Phaseless Streamer?
Di Jiu landed on top of the Cosmic Staircase, and no one else went up. The Cosmic Staircase was indeed important, but one’s life was more important. Besides, there were less than sixty people left here, and even if the last one went, it would only be a matter of waiting a few hundred thousand years. To a strong person who had crossed over to the third step, a few hundred thousand years was not long enough to wait.
The lone pacesetter on the boulder looked at Di Jiu, who had ascended the Cosmic Steps, and his face was gloomy and ugly. It was really because the cosmic ladder had come a little too quickly this time, if he really waited a few ten thousand years or so to come over, he would really make a move.
The cultivation on this boulder was even stronger, but it was only about a hundred years, and he doubted that he would not necessarily be able to deal with Di Jiu. The facts also proved him right, Di Jiu’s wave of swords and long arrows of dao rhymes were simply too terrifying.
The cosmic staircase slowly disappeared, and the crowd all turned back to their positions as if nothing had happened.
……
Di Jiu stood on the Cosmic Staircase and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. His decisive killing had really made the rest of the cultivators scared and no one came back to grab the cosmic ladder steps.
Although the next step of the Cosmic Staircase had not yet appeared, Di Jiu knew that he should not be able to see where he was on that huge stone platform.
According to the jade slip given to him by the Lone Stepping Man, the rule for choosing the cosmic stair step was the law of relativity, mainly the colour of one’s own Dao rhythm and the stone step. That is, there was no choice when there was only one stone step, and once there were more than two or more stone steps, the one with the lightest colour was chosen. When stone steps with contradictory dao rhymes appear, the one with the contradictory dao rhyme must be the main one.
This time Di Jiu waited for a short time, just three days, before two stones appeared again, one lavender and one dark blue.
With the armour of the Void Mountain and the World Book, Di Jiu did not need to pay much as he traversed the void between the cosmic stairs.
In just a short period of time, Di Jiu was close to these two Cosmic Staircase steps. Di Jiu closed his eyes and then felt the difference. The lavender stone was slightly contradictory to his dao rhyme, and to be honest, this contradiction would not really have been perceived by him if Lone Stepper had not mentioned it. It was only because the Lone Paceman had mentioned the concept of contradicting Dao rhymes that Di Jiu had sensed it. So to say that this slightly contradictory was more likely to be a psychological effect.
As for the blue stone it seemed unusual, if one must say psychological effect, then the blue stone did not seem to reject the flow of his dao rhyme.
According to the relative choice of the lone pacesetter, then he should obviously choose the lavender stone. For both rules, pointed to the lavender stone.
However, Di Jiu didn’t even hesitate half-heartedly and directly stepped onto the dark blue stone. After Di Jiu stepped onto the dark blue stone, the lavender stone slowly faded and disappeared after half a column of incense.
Di Jiu didn’t believe a word of what people like the Lone Stepping Man had to say. He chose the cosmic staircase step that his Dao rhyme did not reject.
It would be strange if a person like Lone Stepper could tell him the way to walk the Cosmic Staircase in the correct way. According to Di Jiu’s understanding of the Lone Stepper, this wretch would definitely shade him on this Cosmic Staircase. In fact if he hadn’t gone to the previous boulder and been backstabbed by the Lone Stepper, he would have thought he was being cautious. The reason he had to ask Lone Stepper to take the walk of the cosmic staircase was because it would be the first walk he would rule out.
Di Jiu even felt at this point that he was still too inexperienced, having followed the Lone Pacer before, he hadn’t even taken the time to summarise the pattern of the cosmic staircase. According to the cosmic stairs that Lone Man had walked before, there were indeed mostly light-coloured cosmic stairs. There were also some dark-coloured cosmic stairs. With the conclusion given by the Lone Steppers, the dark-coloured cosmic stairs they had walked on should be the ones where the Dao rhyme was slightly contrary to the Lone Steppers.
This time it was several months that pa*sed before the next step of the cosmic staircase appeared. It was no longer one or two pieces that appeared, but eleven cosmic stairs at the same time.
Even in all the years that Di Jiu and Lone Stepping Man had walked together, Di Jiu had never seen such a situation, where eleven cosmic stepping stones appeared at once.
Di Jiu vanish through the void and arrived at the periphery of these eleven cosmic stepping stones and immediately pounced on a brown cosmic stepping stone. Compared to the colour, this brown ladder was neither the deepest nor the lightest. However, Di Jiu felt that this piece of cosmic staircase did not repel him. As for whether the dao rhymes were contrary or the same, Di Jiu could not sense it either.
When Di Jiu landed on this brown cosmic ladder step, it suddenly occurred to him. If he chose this way, wouldn’t the rest of the cultivators choose this way? It was estimated that most of the cultivators would choose the Cosmic Staircase that felt more similar, for and with the thousands of people still stranded on that boulder?
And most of them had been walking on the cosmic staircase for tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, was it because this choice was wrong?
Di Jiu frowned and thought for half a day, but he could not come up with a correct answer. In the end, Di Jiu decided to go on in his own way, since he did not know the right answer, he would just follow his feelings.
Time pa*sed in this process of Di Jiu climbing the cosmic staircase, all the cosmic staircase steps were followed by his senses.
However, Di Jiu had a vague feeling that he was going the right way, if not, according to the Lone Stepper, sometimes he would have to wait even tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years for the next cosmic ladder, and up to now, the longest cosmic ladder he had waited for was only fifteen years.
