Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 856 - 363: Heavenly Tribulation Affecting Two Realms
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Be it the Harmonization cultivators of the Vast Realm or those from Fan City's Mountain and Sea Realm, they all grasped Ning Qi's scheme right away upon witnessing his transformation.
Ning Qi was simply aiming to advance to Integration, drawing the Heavenly Tribulation down to strike at everyone present.
If they were early or mid-stage Harmonization cultivators, a hint of fear might linger in their hearts.
Yet for late-stage and peak Harmonization experts, the Heavenly Tribulation posed no real threat.
Furthermore, roughly fifteen hundred Harmonization cultivators gathered here.
Their united might could effortlessly confine Ning Qi and halt his breakthrough midway.
Thus, Ning Qi's ploy to wield the Heavenly Tribulation against them seemed utterly ridiculous.
A tiny Mountain Seal hovered over Ning Qi's head, throbbing rhythmically like a pulsing heart, unleashing a colossal Divine Mountain Illusion that shrouded his form entirely.
Countless strikes bombarded the Divine Mountain Illusion, only to be utterly repelled, with many assaults shattering apart. This displayed the tremendous might of that magical treasure.
Fan City's eyes narrowed fiercely at the sight of the small Mountain Seal.
"The Mountain Ancestor actually bestowed this item upon Ning Qi?"
Having served the Mountain Ancestor for almost a hundred thousand years, how could Fan City fail to recognize it?
A deeper shadow thus crept into Fan City's gaze.
The Mountain Stabilizing Seal was the magical treasure the Mountain Ancestor wielded in his youth, never handed to anyone else—yet now it rested in Ning Qi's grasp, proving Ning Qi's exalted position in the Mountain Ancestor's esteem.
Fan City sensed that Ning Qi's standing in the Mountain Ancestor's heart had eclipsed his own!
How could he endure such a blow? He had loyally followed the Mountain Ancestor for nearly a hundred thousand years!
Still, he refrained from challenging the Mountain Ancestor and instead harbored even greater hatred for Ning Qi.
Fan City steeled his determination to slay Ning Qi within the War Realm.
He promptly sent voice transmissions to Jin Guanghua, Mu Qingtian, and his followers.
"If this child is not eliminated, we will suffer from his calamity in the future. To remove this threat, we must kill him today!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, more than four hundred Mountain and Sea Realm Harmonization cultivators shifted their formation, directing their sword intents straight at Ning Qi, shielded by the Divine Mountain Illusion.
On the other side, Vast Realm Harmonization cultivators appeared to shield Ning Qi through their onslaughts.
Under the lead of the Gray-clothed Sword Cultivator, Mi Hui, the Vast Realm Harmonization experts detected something off.
At this critical moment, these Mountain and Sea Realm foes were still squabbling among themselves—yet they dared target the Vast Realm?
Nevertheless, to fulfill the Saint Ancestor’s mission, they had to rescue Ning Qi.
The Saint Ancestor sought not Ning Qi's corpse, but a living Ning Qi at minimum.
Neither faction truly valued Ning Qi as an individual.
Hovering mid-air, Ning Qi coolly swept his gaze over the crowd.
Did these Harmonization cultivators truly believe he would stand by for their slaughter?
Various energies surged through his body; Spiritual Qi and Power of Rules all rushed toward his consciousness.
To ascend from Integration Realm to Harmonization, cultivators must shatter the ultimate barriers of their consciousness, releasing attachment to the physical form.
Only thus could they fuse with the Great Dao, fully remolding the body into a Rule Lifeform.
Earlier, Ning Qi had already prepared everything, ensuring neither side's Harmonization cultivators could flee.
On his southward journey, he had deployed the Thousand Locks and Ten Thousand Knots Unbreakable Formation across spatial paths.
This grand array, born from Ning Qi's own creation, fused his deepest insights to achieve supreme trapping prowess.
Yet Ning Qi held back from triggering it, for he hadn't instilled true dread in the hearts of both factions' Harmonization cultivators.
Suddenly, Ning Qi ignored the chaos around him; the barrage of attacks from both sides' Harmonization cultivators collided wildly, but none reached him.
He entered a profound state of enlightenment, losing awareness of self and surroundings.
The self-forged Taiyin Sun God Cultivation Technique coursed through him like pristine spring water, directing all nearby powers in harmony with its rhythm.
By now, Ning Qi commanded three hundred powers of rules internally.
Prior to the War Realm, he mastered fewer than a hundred, but he seized every hidden node within it.
The Nine Great War Realms yielded over two hundred powers of rules—his richest harvest from the War Realm!
In this instant, Ning Qi's pent-up power exploded outward, unveiling the full might of his reincarnation body for the first time.
Both within and without his flesh, three hundred radiant beams intertwined with the Taiyin Sun God Cultivation Technique, ultimately dividing into Yin and Yang.
Slowly, the three hundred powers of rules merged, forming a primal Tai Chi Yin Yang Diagram.
As the Tai Chi Diagram manifested, Ning Qi's physical body began to fade away.
The Tai Chi Diagram spun like a yin-yang grindstone, pulverizing his form into nothingness.
Seeing this, the Harmonization cultivators briefly halted their assaults.
"Is he not a Sword Cultivator?" Mi Hui, the Gray-clothed Sword Cultivator, knitted his brows.
Previously, Ning Qi had disrupted his Despair Soul Sword, revealing a Sword Dao comprehension beyond Mi Hui's own.
Mi Hui had assumed Ning Qi was a Sword Cultivator, but now that illusion shattered.
His gray eyes flashed with irritation; true Sword Cultivators scorn those who dabble without full devotion!
"What cultivation technique is this child practicing that stirs a flicker of unease within my heart?"
Fan City narrowed his eyes further, persisting with his strikes while pondering inwardly.
As Ning Qi's body dissolved, the three hundred rule powers within the Tai Chi Yin Yang Diagram blazed in unison.
Before, yin-yang hues had cloaked them, hiding their true splendor—but now they shone unveiled.
In that moment, every Harmonization cultivator there stood mesmerized by the three hundred radiant rule beams.
