Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 776 - 326: The Greatest Harvest (Part 3)

As he maneuvered through different spots, Ning Qi pondered his approach.

Handling the pair would prove simple, but the vital concern was stopping them from unintentionally injuring Qi Keqing and her group. The optimal result would mean wiping out Sikong Lan and the others too—that would be flawless.

In an instant, Ning Qi had relocated to a spot three kilometers away from Kuang Shanqing.

Abruptly, he detected something off.

"Why does this area lack Mountain and Sea Realm energy or Vast Realm energy?"

He hadn't picked up on it before, but once aware, Ning Qi halted right away, a strange grin spreading across his face.

"Impressive work from Qi Keqing. Without her being taken, how else could I uncover this spot inside the war realm devoid of the two realms’ intents?"

Joy sparkled in Ning Qi’s eyes, surpassing his earlier delight.

He could declare that unearthing this location marked the biggest prize from stepping into the war realm!

Ning Qi had long sought a site where the intents of the two realms went undetected, letting him sever space and fuse it with the True Martial Realm to hasten its expansion.

This spot matched that perfectly, and he had located it at last!

Ning Qi reined in his thrill; all matters would hold until he finished off the two Domain Masters, then he could examine it leisurely.

His eyes settled on the node right in the middle of this area, a plan forming swiftly.

The duo resembled Qi Baishou from earlier, not seizing the node but aiming to draw him out using the Compass.

Very well then...

A faint smile curved Ning Qi's lips as he shifted once more, now just a hundred meters from Kuang Shanqing.

Neither Kuang Shanqing nor the concealed old plotter picked up on his arrival.

Ning Qi hid his presence, stealthily positioning himself behind Hundred Beasts Domain Master Qianying.

Staring at the old plotter lying prone on the earth, eyes fixed forward, Ning Qi quietly invoked a technique: "Dimensional Space!"

In a moment, the area around him severed completely from the surrounding space, though he retained the ability to observe the exterior.

This was a Divine Technique that Ning Qi devised following his command over the Power of Space Rule.

A slight furrow creased Qianying's brow ahead.

Qi Baishou, slain by Ning Qi, had been his disciple. While Qi Baishou dominated the Hundred Beasts, Qianying had forged a Thousand Beast Shadows!

Qianying possessed exceptional sensing capabilities, drawing from the myriad skills of a thousand beasts. Be it concealment or detection, across the immense Vast Realm, scarcely anyone could match him.

Ning Qi maximized his hiding prowess, striving to avoid any ripples in space, but Qianying still caught a hint of peril.

He scanned above, spotting Kuang Shanqing still meditating in mid-air, with countless Fuyao Realm cultivators slumped wearily on the ground beneath.

Driven by wariness, Qianying abruptly sprang to the side, changing his position.

Ning Qi figured the man had spotted him, almost launching an attack.

Yet he quickly saw it was mere gut feeling. He smirked to himself, relocating once again behind Qianying.

On this occasion, Qianying detected zilch.

Ning Qi shaped his fingers like a blade, pointing at Qianying’s rear, and thrust forward without delay.

"One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques!"

A densely packed Sword Qi burst forth right away, remarkably covert. Space quivered faintly, poised to strike Qianying’s back.

Suddenly, a cold shiver raced up Qianying's spine.

As he whipped his head around, his torso twisted, unleashing a thousand beast shadows from within, his hands morphing into claw-like forms as he lashed out, bellowing, "Who’s lurking there?"

Yet no figure appeared behind him, a total surprise that left his rapid assault empty!

Ning Qi’s Sword Qi never faltered, slicing through the stacked beast shadows.

Atop lay a Profound Turtle shadow, its shell manifesting in a blend of illusion and reality, seeming utterly authentic.

Beneath surfaced a majestic Pangolin, scales splitting open, emitting subtle sounds.

Deeper still stood a white Rhino, its skin tough as rock...

Beast shadow after beast shadow arose, showcasing Qianying’s impenetrable safeguard.

Regrettably, he confronted Ning Qi, whose Sword Dao stood unmatched, wielding diverse Power of Rules all woven into his Sword Dao, unbeatable against peers!

Qianying had barely yelled ’who’s lurking there’ when he erupted into a agonizing cry.

"Hiss~ah!"

The thousand beast shadows enveloping him split apart under the Sword Qi, exposing his actual body, which Ning Qi’s blade felled in an instant.

Qianying brimmed with pride; through the Ten Thousand Beasts Harmonization Doctrine, he had tamed a thousand beasts, reaching Integration Perfection, and by refining one more, he could enter the Unity Realm.

Still, he had ventured into the war realm steadfastly to defend the Vast Realm, set on achieving legendary feats for it.

Inconceivably, he perished to the Sword Qi without glimpsing his foe.

With his Spiritual Sense fading, Qianying mustered his leftover Spiritual Sense Power, using his final gasp to alert Kuang Shanqing in the void.

However, his surviving Spiritual Sense appeared cut off by space, failing to connect with Kuang Shanqing at all.

Qianying plunged into emptiness, filled with deep reluctance.

Ning Qi tucked his body into spatial storage, though he refrained from fully destroying Qianying’s Primordial Spirit.

For such a talented individual, Ning Qi chose to seal him instead, intending to deal with him afterward. The prime result would spare his life and gain his allegiance—that would be superb.

Having dispatched Qianying, Ning Qi looked up toward Kuang Shanqing.

Luckily, he had activated Dimensional Space. Even though the clash with Qianying stirred some energy waves, absent the Dimensional Space, Kuang Shanqing would have detected it for certain.

It took merely a handful of breaths to handle Qianying. Ning Qi softly dispelled Dimensional Space, materializing behind Kuang Shanqing.
