Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 792 - 333: Cross-Domain (Part 2)

Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
The Sword Ancestor and the gathered cultivators urged Ning Qi to prioritize his own cultivation, but he chose instead to distribute seventy percent of the acquired Rule Fragments to enhance the strength of the Profound Truth Realm forces, propelling many to breakthrough realms and elevating their overall power to rival top-tier Spirit Domains. Ning Qi then led the army to a critical barrier dividing the Southeast War Domain into sub-domains, where the rules allow Unity Realm experts to enter based on node occupation proportions. Soon after, the Fuyao Realm and Langya Realm armies arrived, presenting their promised benefits to Ning Qi as preparations for cross-domain combat began.

After that, Qi Keqing and the rest directed their eyes to the semi-transparent gray shield in front.

At this point, every node throughout the war realm stands fully captured, rendering the inner space highly stable, aside from the shield that stays somewhat weak.

It's exactly on account of these vulnerable shields that Unity Realm powerhouses can't step inside just yet.

Were they to try entering, it would inevitably trigger a total collapse of the shield!

Ning Qi pulled out an item, the Mountain and Sea Seal bestowed by the Mountain and Sea Realm upon him.

Ning Qi hurled it at the shield.

Right away, the seal—which had started fist-sized—quickly grew larger, forming a round and solid entrance on the shield.

Ning Qi stared at the entrance that had formed.

This entrance wasn't see-through, but it did somewhat mimic a teleportation portal.

"Follow me!"

"Yes!"

Ning Qi stepped into the entrance first.

The group went in right after him.

...

While Ning Qi shifted between domains, right then in the Vast Realm.

The Saint Ancestor’s fatal command had already been disseminated by the Vast Realm Will across the whole war realm.

"Domain Masters of the Vast Realm entering the war realm, heed me, the enemy cultivators have seized a small domain, if you don’t act quickly, the Mountain and Sea Realm will sooner or later invade our Vast Realm!"

Every Vast Realm Domain Master inside the war realm felt stunned when they caught this news!

"How is it possible?" One person cried out in shock.

Some others vented, "How much time has passed, and the foes already hold a small domain? Those Vast Realm cultivators there are useless!"

A nearby figure halted the venting.

"Why speak ill of our own as useless? Now that the rivals have claimed that small domain, the Vast Realm cultivators inside must all be dead!"

The one who called them useless shifted their face abruptly, feeling embarrassed over the careless words, and turned both shocked and angry at the might of the Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators.

The Vast Realm Will sent another message.

"No matter your views, I now proclaim the Saint Ancestor’s order!"

Vast Realm cultivators who hadn't yet clashed with Mountain and Sea Realm foes promptly knelt, declaring, "We heed the holy words."

"Vast Realm cultivators within the Northwest War Realm, heed the order: You must slay a cultivator named Ning Qi, his talent is extraordinary, and he is a great enemy of our Vast Realm!"

From the Vast Realm’s viewpoint, the Southeast War Realm holding Ning Qi and his allies lay in the opposing direction, so they called it the Southwest War Realm.

At once, the Vast Realm Will projected Ning Qi’s likeness and details straight into each person's thoughts.

In the Northwest War Realm, cultivators from the Vast Realm in the upper and middle domains glanced at one another.

They each brushed cold sweat off their brows, obviously disturbed, with a trace of dread showing.

They knew well that only folks from specific Spirit Domains could access the Northwest War Realm.

Their allies from the lower domains in the Vast Realm had already fallen, and their own power wasn't much stronger, so how could they carry out the Saint Ancestor’s directive if Ning Qi cut them down?

As though picking up on their inner concerns, the Vast Realm Will sent a targeted message to them:

"Have no fear, the Saint Ancestor has set up other plans. Twenty Unity Realm powerhouses have been chosen to enter the Northwest War Realm through self-destruction to help you handle Ning Qi."

With this assurance, the Vast Realm cultivators in the upper and middle domains let out relieved breaths.

"Realm Venerable, when exactly will the Unity Realm cultivators dispatched by the Saint Ancestor arrive?"

The Vast Realm Will answered, "From the moment the Saint Ancestor got the alert until assigning the cultivators and dispatching them into the war realm, it will require no less than half a two-hour span."

"Half a two-hour span?" The Central Domain Vast Realm cultivators grew even more pressed, "Can Realm Venerable confirm if Ning Qi is on the verge of crossing domains?"

"I will check once or twice."

The Vast Realm Will promptly unleashed Realm Power, employing the widespread Vast Realm energy in the Central Domain like senses and sight.

Shortly after, the Vast Realm Will spoke gravely, "Trouble, that guy is guiding a massive force to shift domains!"

"Then... what do we do next? Please guide us, Realm Venerable!"

The Vast Realm Will thought for a short while before responding, "Pull back first toward the upper domain area. Facing three domain forces from the enemy, you can't confront them directly. Dodge if you have to."

It halted briefly and continued, "You need to grab a node near the upper domain shield without delay, letting my will descend completely. Backed by my strength, Ning Qi won't dare approach!"

Hearing this, right away, all Vast Realm cultivators in the Southeast War Realm rushed off toward the upper domain direction.

Some among them were locked in fights with Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators.

They showed no desire to keep battling, simply activating the blood escape method to escape.

This sight baffled the Central Domain Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators!

What was going on? Had the Vast Realm cultivators grown scared of them?

Regrettably, not a single Vast Realm cultivator stuck around to reveal the facts.

Ning Qi’s name echoed through the whole war realm, not first learned by Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators, but first grasped by Vast Realm cultivators.

To flee at the sound of his name, Ning Qi’s fame truly terrified!

Yet it was due to this dreaded fame that the Vast Realm singled him out, setting a lethal ambush, with twenty self-destructing Unity Realm powerhouses ready to enter the war realm.

...

In the Central Domain of the Southeast War Realm.

This domain exceeds the upper and lower ones in scale, and holds a more vital location.

Right now, Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators split into two major forces, ignoring a few scattered scout squads.

One force was commanded by the Celestial Fire Realm Army, while the other merged troops from the Earth Gold Realm and Vine Wood Realm.

The Celestial Fire Realm leader went by Brahma Heaven, a figure of exceptional aptitude, fiery temper, and top strength among the three domains.

Thus, he commanded the Celestial Fire Realm force by himself, chasing after Vast Realm cultivators.

Before long, a scout team zipped back to their ranks.

"Reporting to Commander Brahma Heaven, we conducted scouting and ran into a band of Vast Realm cultivators. Amid the clash of the two forces, they abruptly got some command and oddly bolted north. We can't tell their aim, so we've come back to inform Commander Brahma Heaven for your judgment!"

"Hmm?"

Brahma Heaven, catching this, burst into a loud guffaw, "Could they have heard of my fame and thus panicked away?"

The Celestial Fire Realm troops close by all displayed keen looks.

"Commander Brahma Heaven, send us out to chase them and learn their plan!"

Brahma Heaven brushed it off with a wave, "No point in fussing, this Commander couldn't track the Vast Realm cultivators earlier, but now we've spotted them, the force will come with me for the assault. We must claim every node in this domain fast and strive to lead as the top force!"

His subordinates lifted weapons and treasures, yelling, "Aim to be the first army!"

Among the ranks, advisors stood up warily, saluting, "Commander Brahma Heaven, caution is key. I've assessed from past run-ins with Vast Realm cultivators and found that those in this domain are usually mightier than us!"

"Though Commander Brahma Heaven stands unmatched in might, should they be baiting us into pursuit, it might spell danger."

Brahma Heaven gave a cold huff, "You're overthinking, such a prime chance can't slip by. Hold your tongue!"

The advisor creased his brow, but didn't dare argue more, stepping back at once.

Still, a feeling of frustration toward Brahma Heaven’s bullheaded ways persisted.

In the group, plenty of reincarnated folks from the True Martial Realm existed naturally.

Abruptly, their Communication Jade Scrolls all quivered in secret.

They all jolted and swiftly scanned with Spiritual Sense.

"Where are the True Martial Realm cultivators in this domain among the armies, send their information back!"

Spotting the Realm Lord’s message, they kept calm on the outside, but inwardly buzzed with excitement.

The Realm Lord has arrived!

With the Realm Lord here, no foes remain in this domain!

Without delay, every True Martial Realm cultivator sent the local intel to Ning Qi.

...

Ning Qi guided the three major forces into the Central Domain.

Once inside, he quietly reached out to the True Martial Realm cultivators for a grasp of the inner scene, as the proverb states, "Know thyself, know thy enemy, a hundred battles and never peril!"
