Chapter 767: How Long Is a Moment?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Mo Jiao sensed the repression of death, he was frightened stiff. He wanted to frantically take out his Golden Pen, but the saber flare had locked his life-force.

If he had not seized this chance and taken back part of his Divine Essence, he would not have been able to protect that domain with his Golden Pen, let alone take it out.

Crack! The Wind-Rustling Move produced a desolate aura that tore Mo Jiao’s domain.

Boom! The Golden Pen could not block the desolate killing intent of the Wind-Rustling Move, which permeated Mo Jiao’s heart.

Pfft! The Wind-Rustling Move landed on the area between Mo Jiao’s eyebrows and a bloody mist exploded.

At the same time, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea was assailed by the terrifying killing intent that had substantially torn Di Jiu’s meridian before it tore his body from the inside out.

There were subtle traces of tears in Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea as the pain rushed forth and Di Jiu’s saber intent instantly stopped. Mo Jiao, who had been split into two by Di Jiu, quickly retreated and his two halves merged again.

At the same time, Mo Yun screamed mournfully as the Void Mountain blasted him. Since he had been seriously injured before, he did not hide now that Di Jiu had suddenly sneaked an attack on him.

Mo Yun’s Principal Spirit rushed out, but before it could escape, Lightning had flown over. When Lightning swallowed Mo Yun’s Principal Spirit, Di Jiu sat on the floor and sent Lightning into the Ninth World.

Lightning’s level was still too low. After swallowing a Dao Integration cultivator’s Principal Spirit, he was afraid that it would suffer.

Mo Jiao’s face was as pale as a blank piece of paper. Even though his body had merged in an instant, he knew very well that he could only leave now or die. He did not even have half of his original strength left, and a crack had appeared in his Spiritual Sea.

He was full of anger deep down. Although he had reacted very quickly when Di Jiu had sneaked an attack on him, he had not expected that Di Jiu would dare to do that at all. Was he courting death by sneaking an attack on him given the assault of Mo Zhou’s terrifying killing intent?

Bam! An invisible barrier struck Mo Jiao, who fell to the ground.

Was there an invisible restriction? Mo Jiao was worried. He then understood that he had underestimated Di Jiu. Not only was Di Jiu stronger than him, but his Array Dao restriction was also stronger than his.

He crawled up and turned around. Since he could not escape, he should give it his all.

That moment was obviously the best time to kill Mo Jiao, but Di Jiu did not move. He did not look any better than Mo Jiao, as there were traces of blood at the corners of his mouth.

On the surface, he seemed to be fine. Only Di Jiu knew how terrible his injuries were. Mo Zhou’s killing intent had directly assailed his Spiritual Sea and torn his meridian, so both were injured now.

However, Di Jiu calmed down. As he had expected, he could indeed kill Mo Jiao and Mo Yun, but he had screwed up because he could not escape anymore.

He could not recuperate in a short time or break Mo Zhou’s Confinement Killing Array. Naturally, he could only wait for death.

Unfortunately, Mo Zhou could not face him head-on. If Mo Zhou could still move, he would really be in danger.

As a violent killing intent was rushing toward him, Di Jiu could feel Mo Zhou’s anger and determination to kill him. He simply sat down cross-legged while frantically resisting Mo Zhou’s killing intent and guarding himself against Mo Jiao.

He had also used nomological array flags to set up a Confinement Killing Array in this level-eight Confinement Killing Array. Di Jiu could not let Mo Jiao escape. Otherwise, he would be in even more danger.

Since he had not escaped, he did not either. If Mo Jiao were to escape, Mo Jiao would never let him get trapped inside peacefully...

He was not escaping? At this thought, he suddenly felt as if he had opened a door.

He had only thought that his Array Dao was not as good as Mo Zhou’s. After killing Mo Jiao and Mo Yun, he would be trapped by Mo Zhou with serious injuries and would not be able to escape.

But why should he run away? Mo Zhou could not even attack him face to face? What was he afraid of after killing Mo Jiao and Mo Yun?

Since Mo Zhou was not facing him head-on, he could have trapped him to death just by using Mo Zhou’s Confinement Killing Array. After all, he was an unlimited Divine Array Emperor who was close to the seventh level and a Tempered Body cultivator with a Sacred Body. What could a level-eight Confinement Killing Array do to him?

He had been prejudiced due to first impressions at first and had only wanted to run away afterward. Because of that, he could calculate whether he could split apart the Confinement Killing Array. Since he had not run away, he had to calculate the time necessary to recuperate from his injury.

Upon seeing Di Jiu take a few elixir pills and swallow them, Mo Jiao sat in place to recuperate. In his heart, he wondered whether he could kill Di Jiu.

At that thought, Mo Zhou sent a voice transmission over again. “Immediately attack this person with all your strength. I will restrain him with the killing aura and Confinement Killing Array. Continue to use your divine power. I won’t let him execute the technique that shatters the law.”

This was exactly what Mo Jiao had thought. Even though Mo Jiao knew that he only had a bit of strength left, he was aware that Di Jiu’s strength had also diminished greatly. If Di Jiu was not injured, how could he not do anything to him while he sat in place and recuperated?

He took out his Golden Pen, which once again filled the whole place with golden flares. Since Mo Zhou had said that he would not let Di Jiu’s divine power tear apart his divine power law, what was he afraid of?

Upon seeing Mo Jiao make a move, Di Jiu immediately stood up and his surrounding spatial killing array suddenly changed.

A sky filled with killing aura swept over, forming a frantic killing aura that tore apart Di Jiu’s domain. Terrifying pain rushed forth in Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea, and he spat out a trail of blood. Disregarding the infinite killing intent of the killing array, he stepped forward and slashed with his Heavenly Aqua Saber at Mo Jiao.

Despite being seriously injured, he had to get rid of Mo Jiao first.

Pfft, pfft, pfft! The killing flare of the level-eight killing array struck Di Jiu like waves and spilled blood on his body.

Upon sensing Mo Zhou’s powerful attack, Mo Jiao was pleased and the golden flare gathered and flourished even more. Even though this saber move of Di Jiu appeared to be very terrifying, he believed that after Mo Zhou and he joined forces to tear apart Di Jiu’s physical body, this saber move would not land on him.

However, a moment later, Mo Jiao’s heart sank. The killing intent of the level-eight killing array had struck Di Jiu and made him bleed. It had added to Di Jiu’s injuries, yet it could not even shatter his physical body?

This was not right. Di Jiu was a body-tempering expert with a Sacred Body.

However, Mo Jiao and Mo Zhou were both shocked. Mo Zhou had believed that Di Jiu would definitely kill Mo Jiao and he would also get rid of Di Jiu.

The blood that Di Jiu spit out seemed to form a bloody shower. Di Jiu’s actions were not affected at all, and even his physical body did not collapse.

If he had not known that Di Jiu had a Sacred Body, he would have lived for many years in vain. Compared to Mo Jiao and Mo Yun, Mo Zhou was much slyer. After discovering that Di Jiu had a Sacred Body, he knew that it would not be easy to kill Di Jiu.

Not unless he could rush over to Di Jiu without fear of death and fight with Di Jiu face to face using the level-eight Confinement Killing Array to deal with him.

However, Mo Zhou did not have such courage, as his strength had yet to reach Primordial Chaos. If he and Di Jiu faced each other in battle, Di Jiu would probably kill him when he killed Di Jiu.

Escape. He had to escape!

Now that he knew that Di Jiu had a Sacred Body, Mo Jiao knew that after his severe injuries, only the Body-Tearing Golden Light divine power could allow Di Jiu to be seriously injured again but it absolutely could not tear his physical body. In that case, he would die without a doubt.

Although he could inflict some life-threatening injuries on Di Jiu before he died, he would still die.

Mo Jiao understood this crucial point in an instant and immediately escaped. Even though Di Jiu was trapped in the White Sand Hall, he would evade this saber move of Di Jiu first.

However, Mo Jiao froze a moment later. He had clearly escaped far away and evaded the saber intent of Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber. However, he still saw that saber land between his eyebrows for the second time.

It seemed that, no matter how far he escaped, the distance between his eyebrows was close to Di Jiu.

What a powerful spatial divine power... He had also touched this spatial divine power, but he could not execute such a saber move.

No. Mo Jiao suddenly came back to his senses. This was definitely not a spatial divine power but an extremely terrifying time divine power. He was moving along in time, but no matter how far away he escaped, the other party’s saber move struck the spot between his eyebrows in an instant. The strike was not postponed because of how far he had escaped.

The pain caused by the tear came, and Mo Jiao could even sense that his Principal Spirit had been shattered by this saber move’s killing intent. As his eyes were closed, infinite pictures collapsed due to his intent and he suddenly realized how long a moment was.

No matter how long one could live, or how brilliant or powerful one used to be, only a moment separated life from death.
