The Alchemy Palace Square has been restructured, and Ning Qi expresses satisfaction with the progress. He inquires about his companions' comprehension of a concept, noting their difficulty compared to his own rapid progress due to past lives. Ning Qi then announces his intention to go outside the realm to set up a restriction array. Despite his companions' offers to accompany him, he declines, urging them to cultivate and prepare for potential enemies. Ning Qi then departs for the Sea of Realms, contemplating the difficulty of his task and reflecting on the power of his Infinite Evil Qi, deciding to investigate a chaotic iron sword containing it.

Within Ning Qi’s body, the fusion of immortal and demon powers was instantly triggered.

As the infinite evil qi merged with his golden immortal power, a series of fierce auras erupted.

"Huff!"

In the next moment, countless streams of infinite evil qi erupted from within the Chaos Sword.

Beginning to merge with his immortal demon power.

There was surprisingly no repulsion.

This made Ning Qi furrow his brows tightly.

Looking at the Chaos Sword in front of him, he sighed silently.

"It seems that, back in the day, there were demon cultivators on this Inevitability Mountain."

He immediately came to a conclusion: "So, if we combine with other possessors of Inevitability Mountain and reveal the Treasure Pavilion that used to be on Inevitability Mountain, perhaps we can find the answer within it."

"I’m curious to see who could hide under an immortal’s nose."

At this moment, Ning Qi found this matter quite intriguing.

After calming his mind, he focused his gaze on the void of the Sea of Realms ahead.

The Chaos Sword in his hand trembled slightly in his palm.

Evidently, he was ready to test the sword’s power.

"Swoosh."

Ning Qi flickered and leaped away.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived thousands of celestial miles away.

"It’s a pity I don’t have the Sword Manual, so I’ll just give it a casual try."

Ning Qi had yet to obtain the Sword Manual for this Chaos Sword and didn’t know how to use this special sword.

Thus, he planned to test it out with simple sword moves.

Once he made up his mind, he suddenly exerted his strength and directly condensed a sword qi in front of him.

This sword qi howled back and forth on his sword, just waiting for him to strike.

"Go!"

Ning Qi let out a furious roar, and the sword qi traversed.

Stabbing deep into the Sea of Realms ahead.

"Swoosh."

With this strike, he directly tore open the void of the Sea of Realms in front of him.

With no gimmicks, just a straightforward strike.

Shooting forward thousands of feet, wherever the sword’s glow passed, the gray mist of the Sea of Realms was torn apart.

Under the trajectory, a remarkably clear sword mark appeared.

As that mark undulated, the gray mist could not merge back for a long time.

Furthermore, the torn area continued to expand.

"Oh? It actually has a corrosion effect."

Ning Qi immediately noticed this issue.

A joyful expression appeared on his face.

If he were to battle someone, even with an immortal body, they would still be corroded.

This way, there is a chance of winning.

To catch them off guard.

"Tsk tsk, not bad."

Ning Qi clicked his tongue and raised the Chaos Sword again.

As he struck at the distant Sea of Realms once more, this time, he used the power of the Three Thousand Waters.

The power was even greater.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

A sword mark more destructive than before was torn open, and the speed of corrosion increased by several degrees.

In just the blink of an eye, it caused the gray mist in a region of tens of thousands of feet in front of him to surge violently.

"It’s effective."

Ning Qi marveled repeatedly and laughed loudly: "This Three Thousand Waters exponentially boosts my strength."

"In the True Immortal Realm, I am already invincible."

"So... what about when facing a Heavenly Immortal?"

At this moment, he had a bolder thought.

If given the chance to fight a Heavenly Immortal, how likely would he be to win?

This was something unimaginable before, especially during the battle with Haoshan.

That was a struggle to hold on, but now with the Three Thousand Waters, his strength doubled.

He’s confident that if he were to fight again, he could easily slay Haoshan.

"I hope the next possessor of Inevitability Mountain will bring me a surprise."

"If anything, their cultivation techniques should include the Sword Manual for this sword."

"That would truly be like adding wings to a tiger."

Ning Qi’s eyes sparkled, and he then put away the Chaos Sword directly.

Once again, he shifted his gaze to the area outside the boundary.

In the void of the Sea of Realms, looking at the world within the bounds, it was similarly a gray mass.

Because outside this realm, there were several protective light curtains.

These protective light curtains have accompanied the emergence of each realm and, to break a realm, the first step is to destroy this curtain.

Ning Qi’s eyes fixed on the layers of curtains, he fell into deep thought.

"If I could somehow merge these protective light curtains with the arrays, it should be effective, right?"

As he observed, he gradually had a daring idea.

Merging the protective light curtain could potentially eliminate many issues if possible.

With this in mind, Ning Qi leaped away.

In a blink of an eye, he arrived near the protective light curtain.

With eyes locked onto the curtain, he explored its operational rules.

As for its momentum, these curtains were like clouds, just much stronger.

They could isolate the corrosion of the Sea of Realms and withstand attacks from the black fog within the void of the Sea of Realms.

This was its most valuable aspect, for even if the first layer was destroyed, there were still several layers inside to protect everything within.

Similarly, protecting this realm, it was worth attempting.

With this thought, Ning Qi retreated hundreds of feet backward and prepared to imprint.

With immortal power flowing through him, he extended his hands to start inscribing the Array Restriction based on his comprehension of divine techniques from before.

On the curtain in front of him, he began to carve the Martial Arts Arena’s Array Restriction.

"Buzz!"

"Swoosh!"

"..."

One, two, three.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of array patterns containing Dao rhyme were etched by Ning Qi.

As his fingers danced, they all engraved onto the curtain before him.

After several two-hour periods, the curtain before him was etched with an identical Tai Chi Diagram as that on the Martial Arts Arena.

Inside it, countless Water Pattern Dao Rhymes fluctuated.

After such prolonged carving, he could now proficiently succeed on the first try.

"Buzz!"

With his carving completed, the last stroke fell.

A dazzling light wave erupted.

Like the rays of the scorching sun, surging forth.

Shooting towards Ning Qi’s direction.

"Swoosh!"

Ning Qi quickly dodged and looked back.

This surging light continued to resonate into the void of the Sea of Realms.

Extending tens of thousands of feet out.

"Whoa, that’s intense?"

Ning Qi widened his eyes, never expecting it to possess such formidable power.

Just moments ago, when dodging, he distinctly felt a threat to his life.

If the arrays on the Chaos Stone had this kind of power, he might have been crushed to dust long ago.

Ning Qi observed the destruction and fell into deep thought, but soon found enlightenment.

"I understand! It’s because it’s bolstered by the protective light curtain."

"That’s why it has such terrifying destructive power."

Ning Qi clapped his hands together, instantly grasping the situation.

As the Realm Lord, the protective light curtain acknowledged him.

Thus, his carving of arrays on its curtain was permitted and accepted.

A flash of understanding appeared in his eyes, along with praises: "In other words, this protective light curtain is akin to the Chaos Stone."

"It can assist in inscribing the Array Restrictions of the Three Thousand Waters."

"And the power it unleashes far surpasses that of the Chaos Stone."

"So if intruders come, this would be a trump card for our True Martial Spirit Realm."

"Unfortunately, this is just an attack. It’s uncertain if the oppressive presence it carries can still be triggered."

After that counterattack, Ning Qi already sensed its destructive force.

Now he’s contemplating whether the pressure can still be efficacious.

"Huff!"

With a long exhalation, Ning Qi swiftly moved his hands.

Preparing to unleash this pressure.

The experiment just conducted proved that if the pressure here could also be unleashed, the outburst might be unbearable for him.

He paused with furrowed brows after his hands stopped.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up with a smile.

"Got it."

Clearly, he had figured out a way to test it.

He then stepped back rapidly.
