Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 1024 - 443: Battle of Immortals

Before departing, Ning Qi left a part of his energy, transforming it into a doppelgänger to continuously monitor the changes of the Mountain Ancestor.

At this moment, he saw the silver light mass disappear, and from it walked out a burly figure bathed in silver glow, causing Ning Qi’s pupils to constrict involuntarily.

"What an overwhelming aura..."

Ning Qi gazed intently at the Mountain Ancestor emerging from the distance.

The Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Body gleamed, each inch of exposed skin reflecting a crystalline luster, appearing to be the purest body in the world.

The Mountain Ancestor merely stood in the Sea of Realms, and his entire being became the center of this Sea of Realms.

The Sea of Realms was unlit, and the Mountain Ancestor was its sole radiance.

In the Sea of Realms, he appeared so pure, untouched by earthly dust.

Especially when seeing the Mountain Ancestor frown and pinch his nose, Ning Qi couldn’t help but feel a little shaken.

"He seems more sensitive now, deeply disgusted by the Sea of Realms..."

Ning Qi recalled the previous words of the Saint Ancestor, saying that becoming immortal meant emerging from the mire of the Sea of Realms, and thus remaining unsullied.

Ning Qi previously didn’t believe it, but witnessing this scene now, he began to slightly believe those words for the first time.

"Immortal Body, dustless, endless spiritual power; I wonder if the creature I attracted could deal with him?"

Ning Qi pondered internally.

Suddenly, Ning Qi saw the Mountain Ancestor’s immortal eyes sweep over, glancing in his direction.

"Do you think hiding in the Sea of Realms means I can’t find you?"

A cold and lofty voice transmitted instantly, but swifter than the voice was the speed of the Mountain Ancestor.

Ning Qi found that in front of him there was no longer the Dharma Aspect of the Mountain Ancestor, the distance a patch of darkness, yet near him it became much brighter.

He felt himself enveloped in a pure brilliance, quickly turning to look back.

As expected, the Mountain Ancestor had already teleported behind him, a strong arm reaching out, a large hand grabbing towards his nape.

Whoosh!

Ning Qi reacted swiftly, darting backward like a fish, fleeing from beside the Mountain Ancestor, diving into the distant dark Sea of Realms.

Even though it was merely a doppelgänger left to monitor the Mountain Ancestor, it erupted with maximum power at this moment.

Moreover, it fully merged into the Sea of Realms, attempting to evade the Mountain Ancestor’s perception.

However, the Mountain Ancestor was slightly stunned, then instantly pursued the position where Ning Qi was hiding.

"Hmph, I didn’t expect you had this ability, actually able to merge with the Sea of Realms, but you’re underestimating the ability of an Immortal."

"At this moment, you are just like the Sea of Realms, emanating a scent that nauseates me incredibly, how could I possibly not know where you are?"

The Mountain Ancestor’s entire being emitted a full moon silver glow, whenever he appeared, the Sea of Realms energy in that place retreated like darkness facing light, outside his Immortal Radiance range.

In the next second, Ning Qi’s doppelgänger was directly forced out from the Sea of Realms by the Immortal Radiance.

The Mountain Ancestor approached him, once again reaching for Ning Qi.

Ning Qi used the same trick, attempting to escape again.

But the Immortal Radiance around the Mountain Ancestor instantly solidified from virtuality, completely transforming into a light cage, trapping Ning Qi within.

Simultaneously, the rippling Immortal Radiance strands penetrated his body like needles, pinning him in the void.

"Why aren’t you running, boy? Your performance in our previous battle was passably impressive, but now... haha..."

The Mountain Ancestor mocked.

Ning Qi remained silent, not even showing a hint of pain on his face.

He carefully felt the Mountain Ancestor’s power, sensing the piercing Immortal Radiance.

It was an extremely pure power, qualitatively superior to spiritual power, power of rules, world power, even the power of the Sea of Realms...

One could even say, it was almost a perfect power...

Why perfect?

Of all the powers Ning Qi had encountered before, more or less, they all had impurities.

Even as a cultivator’s realm continuously advances, the refinement and purification of one’s power also improve, but reaching perfection is impossible.

Even at Ning Qi’s level, perfection was unattainable, it couldn’t be said to be entirely without impurities.

Not to mention, Ning Qi also wielded various powers.

But, in Ning Qi’s perception, the Immortal Radiance emitted by the Mountain Ancestor indeed had no trace of impurity, qualitatively surpassing his various powers.

"Is this the power after becoming immortal?" Ning Qi pondered in his heart.

The Mountain Ancestor saw Ning Qi’s unyielding expression, unbowed and silent, deliberately manipulated the Immortal Radiance pinning him, causing it to swiftly traverse through Ning Qi’s body.

The strands of Immortal Radiance, like the sharpest needles in the world, continually attacked Ning Qi’s doppelgänger.

Ning Qi endured endless pain, yet still gritted his teeth.

He was still perceiving the Immortal Radiance, figuring the clearest way to sense it was through personal experience and trial.

Although Ning Qi’s doppelgänger was immobilized by the Mountain Ancestor, at his level, his inner power was also part of him.

He could subtlely detect any minute changes and differences.

Immortal Radiance like needles, besides piercing his flesh, was annihilating the power within him.

Each strand of power, upon colliding with the Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Radiance, was like a rusty old blade battling an unparalleled Divine Soldier.

The old blade possessed no real power to counter, at most could slightly delay the speed of the unparalleled Divine Soldier.

Ning Qi felt it all, and a smile unexpectedly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Mountain Ancestor, noticing the expression on his face, realized something was amiss.

He pointed at Ning Qi, and the Immortal Radiance churned like a stream, tearing Ning Qi completely apart.

"So it was a doppelgänger after all?"

The Mountain Ancestor stared at the empty void before him, looking around.

"Did you think you could evade my detection with just a doppelgänger? Still the same words, you severely underestimate the realm of an Immortal, I will find you, find those two, find your entire world!"
