Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 1006 - 433: The Two-Faced God
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Within the illusory realm of Buzhou Mountain.
Overhead, crimson clouds roiled, piling heavily like freshly spun cotton.
A drizzle of blood descended, its drops wearing away at everything they touched.
Innumerable vengeful spirits drifted within these bloody skies, their agonizing wails echoing without end.
The collective sound waves coalesced, forming a peculiar power that descended to erode the world below.
Mountain Ancestor positioned himself within the largest crimson cloud, confident this Divine Technique would suffice against Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor.
Unexpectedly, from below, a shadow merging the sun and moon formed a brilliant light wheel, instantly streaking towards him.
Mountain Ancestor plunged immediately into the blood cloud, vanishing without a trace.
Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor struck at his former position, their sun-and-moon light wheel illuminating the entirety of Buzhou Mountain's interior.
It seemed to rip a colossal opening through the blood clouds above!
Radiating from within the light wheel, the imposing auras of Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor shone as brightly as celestial bodies.
Their spirits surged, a mix of astonishment at Ning Qi’s arrival and elation from repelling Mountain Ancestor’s assault.
"Damn it, he’s vanished!"
Sea Ancestor’s lips still bore faint traces of fresh blood as he spat the words out in anger.
Saint Ancestor surveyed the surrounding blood clouds.
Their focus wasn't on finding Ning Qi, but rather on locating Mountain Ancestor.
Ning Qi’s movements were always enigmatic; they held no concern regarding his presence.
The Divine Soldier, formed from the light of the sun and moon, swung mightily in their hands, cleaving the blood clouds on either side like the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe felling mountains.
Instantly, vast gashes were torn through the sky’s crimson expanse.
From a distance, it appeared as though two gargantuan, irregular holes had been ripped into the very fabric of the sky!
Yet, following the strikes, the blood clouds reformed as if unscathed, flowing like liquid.
Witnessing this, they struck repeatedly.
Fissures spread across the sky, mirroring the crisscrossing scars that had once marred Mountain Ancestor’s face.
Despite these efforts, the blood clouds remained unyielding.
The crimson masses seemed imbued with an eerie, independent life force, utterly impossible to disperse.
Conversely, the light wheel they were ensconced within emitted a radiant glow, carrying a purifying power that pushed back the encroaching blood clouds.
In a secluded corner of the bloody clouds.
Mountain Ancestor lay concealed, observing the ascending light wheel with a lingering trace of disbelief in his eyes.
He knew both Ancestors had been imprisoned for ages, their energy depleted; it was inconceivable they could suddenly unleash such immense power.
Neither his prior Blood Soul Nether Rain nor the All Living Beings Curse Power should have been capable of breaching it.
Thus, only one conclusion remained...
Mountain Ancestor’s thoughts converged on an answer he had long anticipated.
"Hehehe, Ning Qi, have you finally lost your restraint and trespassed into Buzhou Mountain?"
His expression of astonishment gradually melted into a triumphant smile.
"I knew it, you would inevitably reveal yourself!"
"Individuals like you, possessing even a shred of humanity's residual goodness, are destined for failure!"
In the subsequent moment, the sky’s blood clouds churned and transformed anew.
Streaks of crimson and black lightning coursed through the turbulent mass, the surging clouds immediately overwhelming the purifying force emanating from Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor’s light wheel.
Like parasitic leeches clinging to bone, the blood clouds surged towards the light wheel, engulfing it completely.
Trapped within the light wheel, the two Ancestors watched the encroaching crimson mists surrounding them from every direction, their initial surprise giving way to shock.
A moment later, countless bubbles surfaced atop the blood clouds, resembling boiling water, their ripples distorting the surface of the light wheel.
A noxious blend of bloody stench and sickly green ichor began assaulting the entire light wheel.
Blooop, blooop!
Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor instantly sensed grave peril.
"It appears he deliberately lured us to this particular altitude?"
Saint Ancestor’s brow furrowed deeply as he exchanged a meaningful glance with Sea Ancestor.
Sea Ancestor inquired, "Where precisely is Ning Qi? Could it be that our adversary has been poised, awaiting his manifestation all along?"
Saint Ancestor shook his head.
"Ning only communicates with us through one-way telepathy; even I remain unaware of his exact location."
Sea Ancestor’s countenance shifted dramatically.
"If even he is ensnared within Buzhou Mountain, are we not utterly doomed?"
Saint Ancestor fell silent for a moment, then recalled his divination, stating with resolute conviction, "It shall not be so. You must place your trust in him."
The two men surveyed their surroundings.
Compared to their prior circumstances, their present predicament appeared significantly more dire.
Previously, ordinary armies could still be seen assaulting them, but now, being swallowed by the horrifying blood clouds, their situation felt even more dire.
Ning Qi remained hidden somewhere within Buzhou Mountain, observing the spectacle unfolding in the sky.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed upon the swirling blood clouds.
"Could it be that even Mountain Ancestor’s location is beyond my detection?"
He hadn't noticed it before, but now, a faint pressure emanating from Buzhou Mountain's internal world became apparent.
A formidable array of gravitational forces erupted from all directions, coupled with various restrictive Powers of Rules, which swept through and exerted pressure on his body.
"Fortunately, the intensity is far less than what I felt within the Sea of Realms. I can withstand this!"
Ning Qi moved stealthily through the inner world, investigating his surroundings.
He even subtly absorbed different forces from within, channeling them into the Storage Space for his true form to dissect.
This was similar to how he had previously analyzed the Realm Power of the vast Mountain and Sea realms.
Abruptly, a chilling laugh reverberated from the heavens.
"Ning Qi, since you have entered my domain, why not reveal yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi's heart remained calm, betraying no hint that he had been discovered.
"As anticipated, Mountain Ancestor has indeed detected me..."
At this profound level, Ning Qi might have strived for flawlessness and meticulously laid his plans, yet he had not foreseen events unfolding precisely as he intended.
