The Mountain Ancestor, having just become an immortal, used his Unzhou Immortal Eye to locate Ning Qi. However, he was ambushed by a massive army of disgusting Twisted Creatures. Disgusted by their appearance, the Mountain Ancestor initially retreated, but Ning Qi's bait and the creatures' reaction to his immortal scent forced the Mountain Ancestor to confront them, initiating a fierce battle.

Ning Qi continued to watch.

One by one, twisted monsters were slain by Immortal Radiance, turning into black rain that fell into the void.

But the army of twisted monsters behind them had no thought of fear, continuing to charge towards Mountain Ancestor.

Gradually, more and more twisted monsters were eliminated, and the black raindrops floating in the void increased.

Mountain Ancestor was already a true Immortal, the Immortal Radiance emanating from him was like a full moon, its brilliance illuminating this Sea of Realms.

His surroundings seemed like a vacuum, isolating the energy of the Sea of Realms and separating Immortal and Mortal.

Yet, the twisted monster army drawn by Ning Qi, upon seeing Mountain Ancestor, acted as if they were monsters seeing Tang Monk, insisting on taking a bite.

They desperately crossed the Sea of Realms, piling up like a mountain, ferociously charging towards Mountain Ancestor relentlessly.

Even though the companions ahead were all slain by Mountain Ancestor, transformed into black raindrops suspended in the Immortal Radiance, the twisted monsters at the back were still unending.

"All of you die!" Mountain Ancestor shouted in anger.

Suddenly, the Immortal Radiance around him burst into a blinding silver light, strands of it shooting forward like the quills of a startled porcupine.

Instantly, groups of twisted monsters were pierced by the Immortal Radiance, transforming into black water that dripped away.

This time, Mountain Ancestor killed in large swathes, creating a huge gap in front that the army of twisted monsters couldn’t fill.

Mountain Ancestor’s immortal gaze flickered, and his sight suddenly fell upon the black raindrops floating within the Immortal Radiance.

"These monsters are born from the most evil energy of the Sea of Realms. Just as I ascended the Immortal Stairs, the Immortal Dao Power can only destroy their form, but cannot obliterate their energy at once..."

"To destroy them, I must refine them individually!"

He frowned deeply, with a hint of disgust and aversion still visible.

In the next moment, Mountain Ancestor took the initiative to gather those floating black raindrops together, conjuring a silvery Immortal Fire to incinerate them.

However, the twisted monsters from the chaotic streams of the Sea of Realms had already arrived again.

And they had also abandoned the way of fighting alone, beginning to gather one by one, transforming into larger and more powerful twisted monsters.

From a distance, Ning Qi hid within the energy of the Sea of Realms, continuing to observe the battle between Mountain Ancestor and the twisted monsters.

"The role these monsters are playing far exceeds my expectations, but defeating Mountain Ancestor with them alone is absolutely impossible."

Ning Qi suddenly raised his finger, aiming at Mountain Ancestor.

"Saint Ancestor said that using Infinite Evil Qi against Mountain Ancestor might work, so let me give it a try."

With a thought, Ning Qi quietly released a wisp of sealed Infinite Evil Qi from his fingertip.

Once the evil Qi left his body and entered the Sea of Realms, it immediately became several times more active, as if the Sea of Realms was its most suitable arena, almost breaking free from Ning Qi’s control.

Fortunately, every time Ning Qi manipulated this evil Qi, he secretly used the power of the Golden Key to suppress it, keeping it under his command.

Swoosh!

The Infinite Evil Qi, invisible and intangible, was amplified by Ning Qi to an almost imperceptible extent, shooting from behind Mountain Ancestor.

It was the most terrifying energy Ning Qi had encountered, each wisp had its own consciousness and was extremely deceptive.

Ning Qi had sensed its cunning when he subdued it before.

Now, as it attacked Mountain Ancestor, it also automatically unleashed its deceitful side.

Apart from continuing to target Mountain Ancestor as Ning Qi instructed, as it was about to approach the Immortal Radiance emitted by Mountain Ancestor, it immediately halted.

At the scene, aside from Ning Qi, seemingly no one could detect the existence of the evil Qi.

That magnified evil Qi drifted within the energy of the Sea of Realms, surprisingly, like the twisted monsters, was thrilled about Mountain Ancestor.

Ning Qi could even indirectly feel its sense of joy, making him uncomfortable.

In the next instant, the evil Qi started separating some energy points, attempting to contact the Immortal Radiance emitted by Mountain Ancestor.

Unlike the twisted monsters, Mountain Ancestor could instantly perceive them and particularly loathe them.

But strangely, the evil Qi’s touch did not make Mountain Ancestor perceive it.

Seeing this, Ning Qi felt curious.

Logically, Ning Qi used this evil Qi to deal with many twisted monsters and absorbed their energy, so it should be more easily detected by Mountain Ancestor.

How could Mountain Ancestor not perceive it at all?

Of course, Mountain Ancestor’s inability to perceive it was naturally advantageous for Ning Qi.

Ning Qi continued sensing the direction of the evil Qi.

After probing, the evil Qi gradually grew bolder, quietly advancing, beginning to completely enter the Immortal Radiance.

Inch by inch, it crept forward until the entire wisp was integrated within the Immortal Radiance.

Silver brilliance shone, yet its form was unseen, Mountain Ancestor still did not notice its presence.

Ning Qi couldn’t help but sigh at the increasing insidiousness of this evil Qi.

When it was still within Sword Ancestor’s body, this evil Qi was far less powerful than it is now.

Sword Ancestor was like a vessel for nurturing the evil Qi, cultivating it within for ten thousand years, then elevating the realm, and through overcoming tribulations, the evil Qi was completely extracted by Ning Qi, transforming into its current powerful and changeable form.

The evil Qi silently coexisted with the Immortal Radiance emanated by Mountain Ancestor. If Ning Qi didn’t maintain a connection, he wouldn’t be able to detect it either.

Mountain Ancestor was still ahead, slaying twisted monsters.

And the evil Qi seemed to have completely become Mountain Ancestor’s power, resonating and shining with the Immortal Radiance.

Ning Qi clearly felt its power slowly increasing.

"Is it secretly devouring Mountain Ancestor’s immortal power?"

Ning Qi was startled.

He frowned slightly, not urging it to attack Mountain Ancestor for the time being, wanting to see where the evil Qi’s abilities and limits were, and when it would be discovered by Mountain Ancestor.
