Di Jiu was puzzled as well. This was too absurd. He had just announced the name and had yet to complete the actual act. However, he had to experience a Thunder Tribulation.

“Use a defense Dharma treasure quickly, Brother Di!” Ren Jisha anxiously exclaimed when he saw that Di Jiu was in a daze.

He had sensed how powerful the Thunder Tribulation streaks were and he knew that he would not be able to hold his own against one. However, nine Thunder Tribulation streaks were striking down at once. If he was the target, he would die even if he used a Dharma treasure.

Therefore, he quickly reminded Di Jiu, who was in a daze, to take out his Dharma treasure.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The first three thunder streaks thoroughly landed on Di Jiu, who had yet to take out his defense Dharma treasure. Even Su Qianqian, who hoped that Di Jiu would save the Winter Valley, squeezed her eyes shut. Di Jiu would certainly be disabled if he survived.

No one dared to stand against these thunder streaks, for it would be akin to causing their own death.

Crack! Crack! Di Jiu could hear the sound of his bones cracking. However, after one circulation of his nomological cultivation technique, those cracks immediately disappeared. His physical body had already surpassed the Sacred Body, so these thunder streaks were not able to harm him in the slightest, despite how powerful they were.

His bones cracked because he really did not know what Thunder Tribulation streaks these were and was curious to see how powerful they were.

He decided that they were nothing significant after one try.

Before the remaining six thunder streaks could land, he lifted his hand and threw a punch. He was not one to cower and back down, even if his opponents were thunder streaks.

Dao runes were formed and numerous fist mountains punched the air. Meanwhile, continuous Furious Waves roared.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The fists mountains and the six Thunder Tribulation streaks clashed, filling the air with thunder sparks. The Dao runes disintegrated, and numerous cracks appeared in the void.

When the last Thunder Tribulation streak was crushed by Di Jiu’s fist mountains, Di Jiu was enveloped by a sea of thunder sparks.

Di Jiu stopped. Only nine thunder streaks landed. He shook his body once, but not a strand of hair was out of place.

The thunder streaks disappeared, and the cultivators gathered on the Great Ultimate Realm’s void square finally came back to their senses. Just how powerful was Di Jiu to be able to smash such terrifying thunder streaks using his fists?

Di Jiu’s strength was something worth celebrating, for it was only then that the Great Ultimate Realm would be saved.

“Starry Sky Saber Sect!” Someone cheered, and the rest of the cultivators excitedly followed suit.

Many cultivators could foresee that the Starry Sky Saber Sect would become the symbolic sect of the Great Ultimate Realm.

From then on, the Great Ultimate Realm would undergo a drastic change. Rather than being ruled by experts, the Starry Sky Saber Sect would become the overlord. Experts could no longer come and go as they pleased, nor could they do whatever they wanted.

No one had guessed that the black mist had appeared in the Great Ultimate Realm because of Dao Lord Darkness, but many people had guessed that someone was refining the Great Ultimate Realm.

The Great Ultimate Realm was in a state of disunity, and there was not even an army to guard the realm. It was a good place for anyone who wanted to refine a realm.

Su Qianqian was terrified when she witnessed Di Jiu hold his own against three frightening thunder streaks without even a hair out of place. Then, he had also crushed six thunder streaks with a punch.

Jiu You must have been mad to incur the wrath of such an expert. Fortunately, Di Jiu did not seem to be a bloodthirsty cultivator, or there was no way the Winter Valley could have survived so far. The Winter Valley would have been exterminated the day Elder Jiu You had been killed.

While thinking about this, Su Qianqian felt cold shivers, especially upon recalling how stupid Elder Jiu You’s actions had been.

Ren Jisha was the first to approach Di Jiu, speaking with an even more respectful tone this time. “Sect Master Di is indeed very mighty. I’ve cultivated for a long time, yet today I realized just how ignorant I was. With Sect Master Di taking the lead, the future and success of the Great Ultimate Realm will not be inferior to that of the Great Change Realm and the Great Simplicity Realm.”

Di Jiu, who had a good impression of Ren Jisha, nodded in acknowledgement before announcing, “Everyone, since I’ve decided to build the Starry Sky Saber Sect in the Great Ultimate Realm, I will certainly not allow anyone to destroy this realm. Today, I’ll be heading out to investigate the black mist and I will try my best to expel it.”

Di Jiu had yet to ask who was willing to join him when numerous cultivators resolutely raised their hands and shouted, “We are willing to join Sect Master Di to expel the black mist and protect the Great Ultimate Realm!”

Upon hearing that, Di Jiu was moved. Even if he saved the Great Ultimate Realm or set up a sect in the future, the Great Ultimate Realm would not belong to him alone but to all the Great Ultimate Realm’s cultivators as well.

At this thought, Di Jiu said, “Everyone, the reason the Great Ultimate Realm is in such a state of disunity is because there is no true leader. When this matter is over, I intend to construct a Dao court here.”

He planned to kill anyone who opposed the construction of a Dao court. After all, he did not have much time to spare. Building the Great Ultimate Dao Court would give birth to an army of cultivators, thus preventing a similar matter from happening again in the Great Ultimate Realm.

Unexpectedly, almost everyone cheered in joy when Di Jiu proposed this. Several half-step Dao Integration experts, including Ren Jisha and Su Qianqian, stepped forward, expressed their agreement, and even collectively nominated Di Jiu as the Dao Lord of the Great Ultimate Dao Court.

Everything went smoother than Di Jiu had expected. He knew that it was because the Great Ultimate Realm was facing a great calamity and the cultivators of this realm needed someone powerful to lead them. Not anyone who went there could lord over the realm.

Yin Yueshu was a classic example. She was not a cultivator from the Great Ultimate Realm but she could lord over the realm without facing any repercussions. Even Hall Master Ren Jisha of the Moon Traverse Divine Hall had remained mum after suffering a loss. It was because she came from one of the Ten Major Sects of the Great Simplicity Realm.

Now that Di Jiu had become the Dao Lord of the Great Ultimate Dao Court, no one could come and go as they pleased in the Great Ultimate Realm any longer.

Di Jiu nodded and said, “Setting up the Great Ultimate Dao Court is quite complicated and it’s not something that can be completed in a short time. Hall Master Ren and Valley Master Su, please help tally the numbers of sects and cultivators that are following us to dispel the black mist. You will also tally the number of sects in the Great Ultimate Realm. We will start setting up the Dao court immediately as soon as we exterminate the black mist.”

Ren Jisha and Su Qianqian agreed excitedly. There would be 10 sub-courts after a Dao court was constructed. Since Di Jiu was assigning jobs to them, this meant that their sects would become some of the 10 sub-courts.

Satisfied, Di Jiu said, “Since that has been decided, we must now hurry up to dispel the black mist. Some people can stay here as guards, while the rest will follow me to the Great Ultimate Realm.”

Everyone rallied to his call, rushing to follow Di Jiu into the Great Ultimate Realm.

None of these people was a coward. The reason they had escaped from the Great Ultimate Realm was because no expert had been able to hold his own against the black mist. With Di Jiu taking the lead, no one would dally. Of course, if Di Jiu was just like the previous useless experts, this newly-condensed force would disintegrate once more.
