Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 863 - 366: A Mystery Even the Wills of Two Realms Cannot Fathom
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
In the Central Domain.
Sect Leaders from the three dominant sects gazed upward in utter disbelief at the thunderclouds overhead that refused to scatter.
"The ninth tribulation has passed already, yet Ning Qi’s heavenly tribulation lingers on?"
Should Ning Qi endure just one additional tribulation, it would equal the Harmonization Tribulation they themselves had faced in the distant past.
Yet prior to this, Ning Qi had merely been an overlooked talent among the lowest ranks—how could he possibly rival them, the prospective Sect Leaders from the Spirit Realm’s mightiest sects?
Grim looks crossed the faces of the three Sect Leaders.
For one thing, Ning Qi’s explosive ascent left everyone stunned.
Because of Ning Qi’s heavenly tribulation, clashes throughout the War Domain halted for the moment, as every cultivator soared skyward, eyes fixed toward the south.
They had been meant to command all the spotlight!
For another, a faint unease stirred in their hearts.
What if Ning Qi kept surviving the tribulations—wouldn’t that endanger their own standing?
…
High overhead, thunderclouds loomed like dense cotton soaked in leaden weight.
Having survived the ninth heavenly tribulation, Ning Qi reformed his Harmonized Body, his entire form radiating brilliant fluorescence.
His physique had evolved into a flawless treasure body, striking with overwhelming visual power.
Sidelined at the brink, the wills of the two realms fixed their spectral gazes on his freshly reformed body, ethereal eyes flickering with intensity.
As wills of two realms across endless years, they had witnessed myriad brilliant prodigies, and it wasn’t rare for cultivators reaching Harmonization to conquer nine layers of heavenly tribulation.
However, Ning Qi stood alone as the one even the Spirit Realm’s wills couldn’t fully unravel!
The pair of spectral wills shot glances at each other, each observing the other while squeezed to the farthest edges of the zone, a touch of powerlessness settling in.
This war of the spiritual realms had been sparked by their two realms, after all, with the War Domain forged by their combined forces.
Thus, only one could claim dominance.
But for the first time, the thunderclouds born from the fused power of both realms shoved them aside—what in the world was unfolding?
Crucially, neither could pinpoint the cause.
Was it possible the blending of their realms’ powers birthed even mightier rules?
Ning Qi cast another look at the two realms’ wills, noting their banishment to the periphery, and a surge of delight filled him.
Evidently, provoking one or two extra heavenly tribulations might fully expel the wills of the two realms from here, letting him unleash his tribulation preparations without restraint!
Without a second thought, Ning Qi laid bare his spiritual sense and body beneath the thunderclouds.
After weathering nine layers of heavenly tribulation, Ning Qi no longer feared it like typical cultivators.
Every tribulation he withstood showcased his insights, as he dissected the forces at play and extracted the utmost gains.
Ning Qi had perfected his grasp of every rule, yet the tribulations’ ordeals and harmonization propelled his rule power comprehension past its limits, unveiling fresh horizons.
In truth, Ning Qi’s core identity was the Realm Lord of the True Martial Realm, bearer of a unique cultivation framework crafted for a Realm Lord, wielding utterly sovereign will.
He had no desire to forge his Harmonized Body purely from the Mountain and Sea Realm’s rules, aware that would chain him to its dominion.
Thus, Ning Qi aimed from the start to shatter the Mountain and Sea Realm’s limits, rejecting bondage to any Spirit Realm rules.
To achieve this, Ning Qi charged forward boldly, diving headlong into the thunderclouds.
The instant his body submerged in the thunderclouds, it met explosive changes like morsel dropped into searing oil.
A dazzling blaze engulfed the whole world.
Boundless thunder exploded outward without end, reshaping the entire area into a thunderous inferno.
Thunder roared in fury, bellowed wildly, screamed sharply, wailed softly, twisted in agony, lamented in grief, exulted in bliss, and more...
To sum up, right then, the thunder pulsed with its own vivid emotions.
Far below, alarm flickered in the eyes of the two realms’ wills.
The Vast Realm’s will murmured: "This is bad—why are all sorts of emotions emerging in his heavenly tribulation?"
The Mountain and Sea Realm’s will reeled with astonishment too.
For in their own realms, heavenly tribulations for crossing cultivators were always orchestrated by them.
Heavenly tribulations lacked personal emotions, serving purely as expressions of realm wills, leaving cultivators’ fates wholly in their grasp!
But now, Ning Qi’s plunge into the heavenly tribulation had awakened a spectrum of emotions within it, as though the tribulation gained its own awareness.
This development horrified the two realm wills, lying utterly outside their command!
Crack!
The heavenly tribulation rippled like liquid waves.
Abruptly, lightning-spawned mythical beasts burst from the churning thunder waves, lunging claws-out at the two realms’ wills, each one startlingly real, as if leaped from ancient legends.
Dragon’s nine sons: Bian, Qiu Niu, Vengeance, Chaofeng, Pulao, Suanni, Ba Xia, Fuxi, Chiwen...
The heavenly tribulation morphed into nine divine beasts, auras blazing as they assaulted the wills of the two realms.
The two realms’ wills gathered realm power anew, clashing against the heavenly tribulation beside Ning Qi.
Though they yearned to depart, an irresistible curiosity about this tribulation held them fast.
In a flash, the nine heavenly tribulation offspring collided with the two realms’ wills.
The two spectral figures, as prime Spirit Realm wills, unleashed their prowess, obliterating the nine offspring in the blink of an eye.
Still, the dispersed lightning reformed into a grand, awe-inspiring True Dragon that hurtled toward them.
