Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 857 - 363: Heavenly Tribulation Affecting Two Realms (Part 2)

Even the Harmonization experts sensed their inner rules vibrating alongside those brilliant rule powers.

"Is this kid really mastering three hundred powers of rules?"

"How young is he to achieve this?"

Their eyes widened without thought, faces etched with shock, as tempests raged in their hearts.

Even scarier, once the three hundred powers of rules emerged, each person's rule power started echoing Ning Qi’s. In a flash, they realized their grasp of the rules fell far short of Ning Qi’s.

"Impossible!"

Mi Hui, who had just questioned Ning Qi’s commitment to the Sword Dao, now bore a hint of embarrassment on his face.

With so many powers of rules under his belt, Ning Qi still outshone him in Sword Dao. By contrast, Mi Hui’s sole devotion to Sword Dao looked downright pathetic.

The onlookers barely had time to recover from the shock.

Ning Qi’s metamorphosis at last stirred the world around them.

Three hundred powers of rules blazed like stellar lights.

They vibrated together, steadily spinning the Tai Chi Diagram.

As they manifested, every rule tied to the war realm surged toward this spot.

Rumble!

Dark clouds layered across the sky, assembling swiftly.

All eyes lifted skyward, watching thick clouds like wadded cotton stack up in moments.

The clouds drooped perilously low, as though the heavens might crash down.

Lightning bolts twisted through the gloom, forged purely from heaven and earth rules.

For those below Harmonization—who, as top Harmonization Cultivators of the two realms, had faced heavenly tribulations—this sight was unprecedented.

A crushing oppression gripped every heart.

"What sort of heavenly tribulation is that?"

A voice cried out, yet answers eluded everyone.

Brilliant lightning linked up inside the clouds.

The entire mass of dark clouds, mirroring the Tai Chi Diagram beneath, started to whirl.

Something brewed deep within, flashes of rainbow hues occasionally slashing through the shroud, lighting up the faces of the cultivators below.

The crowd forgot to strike, stepping back together without realizing it.

Then, a lightning dragon shadow clawed free from the clouds, its awful heavenly pressure silencing all.

Terror seized the crowd!

They had braved heavenly tribulations, but those brought mere thunder rule descents at worst!

Why did Ning Qi’s spawn a dragon form?

Fear mingled with curiosity!

Yet their vast numbers deterred any from trying to halt Ning Qi.

Truth be told, the celestial shifts Ning Qi unleashed reached beyond this area.

They stood like ants amid Mount Lu, blind to the grand vista.

In the Central Domain.

Cultivators from two sides flanked the red line, their senses blocked by the blood mist inside.

Jiang Yingchu of Vast Immortal Sect, Gong Tiandao of Zhou Mountain Immortal Sect, and Zhao Yujun of Moon Sea Immortal Sect all felt it at once.

They soared upward, staring southward.

Dark clouds pierced the boundary wall, spilling into the Central Domain too.

High in the air, they couldn’t resist brushing the crackling clouds.

"Who’s facing this tribulation?"

The two realms’ wills detected the war realm’s upheavals.

The Vast Realm Will tapped the war realm’s Vast Realm energy to probe the skies.

"Ning Qi? How?"

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will, holding the southern zone, knew exactly who sparked this worldly chaos.

Its illusory form materialized near Ning Qi.

Beholding clouds blanketing half the sky, divine light shot from the Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s eyes, piercing the darkness.

"Ning Qi’s tribulation dwarfs even Haoshan’s and Sea of Emotions’ from long ago!"

Bewilderment flickered in its gaze, unable to pinpoint the nature of Ning Qi’s calamity.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s phantom turned toward its home realm.

A spatial rift tore open in the Mountain and Sea Realm unbidden, unleashing boundless rule power that swelled the overhead clouds thicker.

This came as no shock.

Ning Qi sprang from its Mountain and Sea Realm!

Though in the war realm, his tribulation drew from the Mountain and Sea Realm’s—a Spirit Realm—transformative force.

Inside the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor stayed calm.

Their attention inevitably fixed on Ning Qi’s position.

In the Vast Realm.

The Saint Ancestor got word from the Vast Realm Will.

"Teacher, Ning Qi’s on the verge of tribulation, summoning something terrifying I’ve never witnessed."

The Saint Ancestor peered at the war realm, pausing all else to watch Ning Qi.

Reports came too: a thousand Vast Realm Harmonization experts lay in wait there, ready to seize Ning Qi for the Vast Realm.

Memories stirred of his prior clashes with Ning Qi, indirect though they were.

"Why tribulation now? Deliberate?"

A divination shell materialized in his grasp; he cast it midair.

The result twisted the Saint Ancestor’s features.

"Zhili, spread my command at once: have them pull back from Ning Qi immediately!"

The Vast Realm Will behind him obeyed instantly, though puzzled—his teacher’s calls were always spot-on!

As it prepared to zip back to the war realm, a rift cracked open in the Vast Realm too, rule power flooding toward Ning Qi.

This unprompted surge stunned the Vast Realm Will.

The Saint Ancestor spotted it instantly. "Zhili, did you cause this?"

Zhili shook his head hard, sounding hurt: "Teacher, I swear I did nothing!"

The Saint Ancestor’s face shifted once more.

"He’s Mountain and Sea Realm stock—why pull my Vast Realm’s rules into his tribulation?"

Baffled, he muttered it over and again.

The Vast Realm Will’s phantom observed, then hurried off without delay, passing the order to Ning Qi’s nearby Harmonization experts.

"Everyone, fall back from Ning Qi right now!"

Mi Hui and the Vast Realm’s Harmonization practitioners caught the Vast Realm Will’s directive together.

They eyed the spot where only Ning Qi’s Yin Yang Diagram lingered, said nothing, and retreated fast.

Across from them, Fan City and over four hundred Harmonization experts stood stunned.

"Why the retreat?"

Fan City glanced skyward again.

Dark clouds now loomed just two-thirds above ground, the dire tribulation inside yet to fully take shape.

Lightning kept leaking out nonstop.

Rumble!

Amid endless thunder, strikes hammered the earth.

Fan City barked, "Good riddance—they’re gone, so nothing blocks us. Hit him before he reaches Harmonization!"

Silence fell, but hands flew into action.

As Harmonization beings, they upheld heaven and earth’s rules and order.

Usually, a flick summoned rules effortlessly.

Now, though, rules seemed yanked into the clouds overhead; even their assaults felt weak and futile.

Faces paled as realization dawned— that’s why the Vast Realm side bolted!

Jin Guanghua and Mu Qingtian shook without control.

Not from fear, but their power draining into the clouds.

"Big... Big Brother, let’s get out of here fast."

They peeked back; the quaking oddity spread like plague.

Harmonization experts behind them made creepy crackling sounds from their mouths!

The nearer to Ning Qi, the worse it got.

Fan City, strongest among them, felt his teeth chatter too.

He shot another look at the Yin Yang Diagram, reluctance in his eyes.

"Withdraw!"
