Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 833 - 352: Celestial Lotus Reverse Slash Technique Sword

Qi Shanling possessed a physique reminiscent of a mountain spirit dwelling in the untamed wilderness, with a Divine Mountain Illusion swirling vividly around his form. Exuding extreme arrogance, he declared his intent to utterly decimate the army of the Three Domains.

What fueled the prevailing sense of despair was that neither his companion Gao Qiu, nor Liu Fuping, nor the ninety-seven Integration seniors observing from the periphery, made any effort to restrain him. With these powerful figures remaining idle, the younger generation present, including Ren Boping and others, found themselves completely powerless to intervene.

The mermaid Lang Yingying displayed a trace of hesitation upon her delicate, ethereal face. Turning to the Integration Ancestor standing nearby, she questioned, "Shark Ancestor, can you not offer them some assistance?"

The Shark Ancestor, a towering figure with coarse gray skin and sharp white fangs partially bared, merely shook his head. "Yingying, such is the harsh reality of our world—only the fittest survive. How could we possibly hope to stem such a formidable tide?"

Upon hearing this, Lang Yingying cast her gaze toward those individuals whom Ning Qi had previously rescued. Figures such as Ren Boping, Jiang Yuyue, and Qingchulan all looked on, dejectedly shaking their heads. Though they wished to act, Qi Shanling was an Integration Ancestor, and their own mentors were peers within the Integration realm; for those of the same rank to shield one another was a standard practice.

While they might have harbored goodwill toward the cultivators of the Profound Truth Realm earlier, this side had now committed a grievous taboo by daring to challenge Qi Shanling directly. Integration cultivators possess immense dignity; when antagonized by those they deem as ants, they invariably retaliate. Serious offenses often meant death, while minor slights warranted brutal lessons.

Yet, they conveniently forgot that they themselves had once risen from the status of mere ants. If a reaction born of self-preservation constitutes an offense, then does the struggle of the weak against oppression also count as a crime? Clearly, many observers silently agreed with that sentiment.

Every gaze remained locked upon the battlefield. Qi Shanling descended from the heavens, his form swelling until it loomed over the entire Three Domains’ army and beyond. The Divine Mountain Illusion manifested around his body, resonating with the terrifying, absolute Power of Rules, suggesting the army was doomed to be reduced to a bloody smear.

Suspended above the host, the Celestial Sword had fully manifested, growing ever more substantial and weighty. Its cutting edge remained shrouded, keeping its true destructive potential a mystery. Regardless of its strength, the Integration expert stood as a practitioner who had harmonized with the laws of the universe and was thus considered undying; they watched the spectacle as if it were a mere play.

Buzz! Just as Qi Shanling’s Divine Peak threatened to plummet within a thousand meters of the army, the Celestial Sword emitted a shrill, vibrating sound, its tip locking firmly onto Qi Shanling. He scoffed, "A mere firefly dares to vie with the brilliance of the sun!"

The army below stood in dead silence. The Sword Ancestor’s face had drained of color, Qi Keqing wore a grave expression, and Zhu Yanchuan’s eyes burned with anticipation. All looked skyward, hopeful for a miracle. Ning Qi had gifted them the Celestial Lotus Reversal Technique Sword, a weapon designed to challenge the might of the Integration realm, but this was its first true test. Everyone was eager to witness the sheer power of the Dharma Method bestowed upon them by Ning Qi.

Hidden within the ranks of the Three Domains’ army, the True Martial Realm cultivators focused their intent with intense precision. Having reincarnated into the Mountain and Sea Realm as natural geniuses, they now held pivotal roles within the military. Despite being camouflaged among the locals, they resonated with the collective unity demonstrated by the troops moments prior. If three armies could truly act as one, who could dare oppose them?

Like everyone else, the True Martial Realm cultivators embraced the philosophy of using their combined strength to overcome a superior force for their own protection. Consequently, they quietly poured their essence into the strike, exerting slightly more combat power than usual. The Celestial Sword instantly pierced the void, traveling at a velocity that defied imagination. The descending Qi Shanling was caught off guard, though his confidence in Integration’s invincibility remained shaken for only a second.

Yet, in the very next heartbeat, a wave of stunned gasps erupted. Qi Shanling clutched his chest in disbelief, staring at the wound. The enormous Celestial Sword, mysterious and fathomless, had impaled him entirely. Acting like a pillar of light, the weapon unleashed hundreds of radiant strands that began to erode Qi Shanling’s foundational power. Unable to even scream, he was flung higher by the force of the sword, moving even faster than he had during his descent, much like a failed firework.

Bang! The void fractured, and the Celestial Sword collapsed in layers, scattering countless shadows of blades across the heavens! These were manifestations of the Power of Rules, setting the entire horizon ablaze. Watching from below, observers saw the light display illuminate the void as Qi Shanling, the Integration Ancestor trapped within, was shredded into pieces by the relentless onslaught. Every onlooker watched with dilated pupils and gaping mouths. Who dared to claim that ants could never fell a mighty tree?

Even the Sword Ancestor and his peers stared in stunned disbelief as Qi Shanling, pierced by the Celestial Sword, drifted in the void, his Integration body being torn apart by the relentless swords of rules. The Celestial Lotus Reversal Technique Sword taught by Ning Qi was truly terrifying! When Qi Shanling first initiated his attack, he had effortlessly suppressed them, clearly standing as a formidable master of rules. Yet now, he was being ravaged by their combined power so thoroughly that he could not even reform his physical form. Was this truly the byproduct of their collective power, or was the Dharma Method from Ning Qi simply that potent? Without a doubt, a brief reflection led everyone to attribute the victory to the latter.

In reality, after Ning Qi had assumed the persona of Lord Zhanxuan and clashed with the Cyan Profound Immortal Sect Ancestor Sikong Xuan of the Fuyao Realm, he fully grasped how difficult it was to truly eliminate such beings. Since that day, Ning Qi had contemplated how best to leverage the Power of Rules inherent in the Integration realm to defeat an Integration expert. He had sought to devise a method to unify everyone’s strength into a dragon-slaying technique, which eventually blossomed into this Celestial Lotus Reverse Slash Technique Sword. The name Celestial Lotus was chosen because, once the sword strikes the enemy, it unfolds like a blooming flower, releasing a torrent of rule-imbued strikes—a sight that had served as the original inspiration for Ning Qi.
