Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 1010 - 436: Sneaking Through Chen Cang

The Sea of Realms is immeasurably vast, concealing countless hidden secrets within its depths.

Following the cataclysmic shattering of the legendary Buzhou Mountain in ages past, its fragments became scattered across the expanse of the Sea of Realms.

Today, however, its profound legacy has been claimed by the Mountain Ancestor, who intends to draw forth one of its closest remaining pieces during his imminent breakthrough.

Like a falling star, it blazed across the Sea of Realms, diminishing in size until it finally melded with the ethereal shadow of Buzhou Mountain held within the Mountain Ancestor’s grasp.

Buzz!

A surge of terrifying energy erupted, causing this sector of the Sea of Realms to churn like a boiling cauldron, its waves radiating outwards.

At the epicenter of this disturbance, a colossal, dual-faced Dharma Aspect, possessing four arms and four legs, hoisted the solidified Buzhou Mountain in one hand, appearing as a divine celestial being!

Just in the nick of time, Ning Qi, along with the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, managed to break free from the receding shadow of Buzhou Mountain.

"That was perilously close!"

The Saint Ancestor let out a breath, his surprise palpable.

They observed the fragment of Buzhou Mountain hurtling into the Sea of Realms, its surface appearing dark and riddled with fissures. Exposed within these fractured points were damaged roots, faintly visible.

Subsequently, the remnant unified with the phantom image of Buzhou Mountain in the Mountain Ancestor’s hand, transitioning into a corporeal form.

They understood that had they not made their timely escape, once it solidified, their chances of evading capture would have been utterly lost.

However, the trio no longer dwelled on what might have been. Their focus shifted entirely to the immense palm descending upon them.

"Triple Dharma Body Palm!"

The Mountain Ancestor’s voice echoed with cold intent.

Three colossal palms, imbued with distinct Dao Seals, converged in a grasping, slapping, and pinching motion, sweeping towards the trio emerging from Buzhou Mountain’s shadow from multiple directions.

One palm sealed the space directly above them, while the other two bore down from the lower left and lower right. All three were accompanied by an onslaught of afterimages, completely obliterating any possibility of escape.

It was as if a primal deity of the Sea of Realms had been awakened, poised to deliver judgment upon Ning Qi and his companions.

Gazing at these three descending palms, the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor were overcome with an profound sense of helplessness, even sensing that any attempt to resist would be a grave error.

The closer their cultivation realm was to the Mountain Ancestor’s, yet still inferior, the more potent this oppressive influence became.

Fortunately, Ning Qi stood in front of them, remaining entirely unaffected by the Mountain Ancestor's spiritual pressure.

Ning Qi’s cultivation path was unique, diverging from conventional practices. Coupled with the myriad powers he wielded, he remained impervious to the surrounding pressure.

Previously, the chamber formed by the Enlightenment Realm Tree, which had facilitated their escape and withstood Buzhou Mountain’s compression, continued to offer them protection.

"It should hold!"

Ning Qi perceived the formidable might of those three palms. This was the most potent assault he had ever confronted.

Each descending palm felt akin to an entire world collapsing upon them.

Confronting these impending strikes, Ning Qi continued to channel the power of the Enlightenment Realm Tree into the protective chamber formed by its trunk, simultaneously preparing to initiate a relocation back into the True Martial Spirit Realm.

Boom!

The three colossal palms, trailed by a swarm of afterimages, slammed down with devastating force upon Ning Qi and his associates.

The latent energy of the entire Sea of Realms coalesced into a colossal tidal wave, possessing the destructive capability to obliterate a minor world.

Grating sounds!

An overwhelming and irresistible force impacted the trunk of the Enlightenment Realm Tree, producing a harsh, scraping noise, as if nascent cracks were beginning to form.

Ning Qi, the Saint Ancestor, and the Sea Ancestor narrowed their eyes.

Miraculously, a flash of golden light streaked across the surface, instantly mending those fissures.

"We endured!"

The Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor exclaimed, their voices filled with incredulity as they witnessed the restored trunk.

They were certain that if those three palms had struck them directly, their physical bodies would have been incapable of withstanding the impact; at best, they might have survived, but even those with the most perfected Harmonization physiques could have been obliterated in an instant.

Yet, the trunk had held firm!

Ning Qi understood: the Enlightenment Realm Tree had unleashed its absolute full power.

Firstly, it drew upon the regenerative properties inherent in the Seed of Jianmu; secondly, it activated its supportive capabilities; thirdly, it utilized a portion of the Power of Faith; and fourthly, it incorporated Ning Qi’s own insight, dynamically adjusting its load-bearing capacity in response to the attack’s ferocity.

Within the Sea of Realms, the Mountain Ancestor's dual-faced Dharma Aspect fixed its gaze upon the minuscule wooden construct encircled by the colossal palms, a flicker of astonishment revealing itself in its four blood-red eyes!

"Can the Seed of Jianmu truly withstand such an assault?"

He even began to question if the legacy he had received contained inaccuracies, as the displayed strength was utterly incongruent with the imparted knowledge, the discrepancy being far too vast!

Nevertheless, his thoughts on this issue were brief. His foremost priority was, after all, the summoning of Buzhou Mountain’s legendary embodiment from the Sea of Realms!

He was confident that even without absorbing the Mountain and Sea Vast Realm, this legendary remnant of Buzhou Mountain alone would be enough to propel his cultivation forward significantly.

If not for the inherent dangers, he would have enacted this plan much earlier!

The Mountain Ancestor had ascended from the Mountain and Sea Realm, with his everything stemming from his successful acquisition of Buzhou Mountain’s legacy. Witnessing its actual embodiment now, how could he possibly remain indifferent?

Observing Ning Qi and his allies ensnared within his grasp, their escape seemingly impossible, the Mountain Ancestor directed three of his eyes towards another colossal palm.

This palm was flawlessly spherical, its digits acutely pointed, bearing the remnant of Buzhou Mountain and radiating an overwhelming divine radiance within the Sea of Realms.

Within this intense divine glow, a miniature silhouette of Buzhou Mountain held approximately one-third of the remnant, completely filling the spectral form.

Slowly, the shadow faded, leaving behind only the genuine remnant, its inner essence writhing and autonomously mending its fractured sections.
