Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 785 - 330: Great Success in the Rule Realm
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Yet, the glow from these five nodes remained exceedingly faint, nearly imperceptible.
"Is it true that every domain contains thirty-six nodes, with six of them being concealed? That signifies six locations where I can sever the space and merge it into the True Martial Realm!"
A subtle grin formed on Ning Qi's face as he gazed at the map that unfolded through spiritual power and illumination in his grasp.
At this point, he had fully examined every node inside the war zone. The configuration in the other war zones ought to mirror this one.
With a turn of his palm, Ning Qi stored the compass away, only for a Node Pearl from this area to materialize in his palm.
After pondering momentarily, he deliberately crushed the Node Pearl with force.
"To advance the True Martial Realm's growth, this is my only option. Given that each domain hides six nodes, these six spots won't belong to the Mountain and Sea Realm or Vast Realm—they'll be entirely mine!"
Controlling this territory requires capturing the local Node Pearl and activating the Heavenly Star to erect an altar that invokes the Spirit Realm’s will.
Yet in this moment, Ning Qi shattered the site's Node Pearl effortlessly with a single squeeze, causing it to break into shards that further disintegrated into a swirling haze of powder and vapor.
From Ning Qi's vicinity, spiritual power surged outward, pulling in the powder and vapor, which then orbited him like a misty veil of pale radiance.
"My actual essence is the True Martial Realm. If I call upon the will of my true form, does that equate to claiming this territory?"
Driven by a sudden urge, Ning Qi stretched his spiritual sense to its farthest reach, meticulously probing the boundaries without detecting the presence of the two realms’ wills.
Next, he expertly forged a spatial passage overhead. Within moments, the war zone linked seamlessly to the True Martial Realm, forging an immediate bond with his core self.
Abruptly, a tremendous force descended upon Ning Qi, fully encasing his figure.
The essence of his true form's realm power flowed into Ning Qi’s frame, causing his pristine robes to billow dramatically, portraying him as a celestial being in descent, his strength surging without delay.
Beyond that, the Node Pearl's powder and vapor encircling Ning Qi churned violently, as if heated to a boil by the unyielding will of the Realm Lord’s true essence.
Observed from a distance, Ning Qi emanated a luminous white aura extending across miles; any onlooker among mortals would instantly prostrate in adoration.
Within Ning Qi’s mind, an unusual sensation emerged, as though he had utterly claimed this domain, rendering it exclusively his own.
"Could this be the reality?"
A touch of surprise lit Ning Qi's features, accompanied by a sly curve on his mouth.
Just as the wills from the Mountain and Sea Realm and Vast Realm could dominate this spot via the Node Pearl, Ning Qi, embodying the True Martial Realm's will, held the same capability!
That said, Ning Qi paid little heed to this mere semblance of total dominion.
Across the whole war zone, excluding these exceptional zones, the influences of the Mountain and Sea and Vast realms permeated everywhere.
Thus, for Ning Qi to genuinely seize this area, mere entanglement with the two realms' wills wouldn't suffice; he aimed to detach it entirely and incorporate it into the True Martial Realm.
This idea sparked a profound glint in Ning Qi’s eyes, prompting him to unleash two razor-sharp Sword Qis in a swift arc.
Formed through his intent, these Sword Qis incorporated every facet of his commanded abilities, enabling effortless control even after dispatch!
Like bolts of brilliant light, the Sword Qis streaked forth, each calibrated by Ning Qi to span a full kilometer.
Through mental command, Ning Qi directed the pair of Sword Qis to cleave both downward and sideways in an instant!
In their path, the Sword Qis rent the emptiness asunder, leaving impeccably clean divisions that subtly exposed dark fissures, a clear sign of spatial rupture!
As the dark fissures sealed shut, a cubic void measuring a kilometer on each side detached promptly from the surrounding emptiness, standing apart from the domain.
Ning Qi reached out with his right hand, seizing the void remotely.
The Great Five Elements Divine Light coalesced into an enormous palm that lunged toward the kilometer-scale void cube.
Spanning two kilometers itself, the colossal palm effortlessly captured the void cube.
Its digits, resembling pillars of the heavens, clamped around the void cube, while within the grasp, multicolored divine lights swirled, crafting a circular portal for translocation.
Immensely expansive, the translocation portal slowly consumed the kilometer-spanning void cube it clutched.
What followed was a profoundly odd spectacle: the void cube vanished into the portal of the massive hand, resulting in a vast emptiness beneath that refused to mend.
Watching the proceedings, Ning Qi soon guided the severed void cube wholly through the spatial passage into the True Martial Realm.
On arrival in the True Martial Realm, the kilometer void cube dissolved rapidly, akin to butter melting in scorching heat or ink dispersing in a pool.
...
Boundless in scope, the True Martial Realm housed countless cultivators who, despite their efforts, lagged behind its expansive progress.
On that fateful day, every inhabitant felt a jolt of astonishment once more.
They poured out from their dwellings, with cultivators ascending to the heavens, all directing their gazes skyward in profound wonder.
Though numerous individuals lacked the sight to perceive the events above, inexplicably, they all beheld the spectacle clearly.
Above, a colossal spatial passage materialized without warning, followed by the descent of a crystalline kilometer void cube tumbling from its depths.
Utterly anomalous, this void cube disintegrated at once upon entering the True Martial Realm, melting away like sugar dissolving in liquid!
Stranger still, every entity sensed the True Martial Realm swelling with additional expanse, achieving greater harmony in an instant.
Instantly, all recognized this as another wondrous feat from the Realm Lord.
In unison, they turned toward the heavens, prostrating and proclaiming with devotion: "The Realm Lord reigns supreme, granting fortune to the denizens of the True Martial Realm!"
Subsequently, more void cubes plummeted from the spatial passage, each subsequent one larger than the last, propelling the transformations in the True Martial Realm to quicken at an exhilarating pace.
