Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 865 - 367: Demons Arise in Chaotic Times

Ning Qi’s never-before-seen heavenly tribulation at last reached its end.

Cultivators across the war realm all exhaled in relief as the thunderclouds began to scatter.

Still, nearly every heart echoed the same murmur:

Damn it, thirty-six tribulations in total—is this truly the ordeal for a Harmonization cultivator?

Typical Harmonization cultivators endure just three tribulations; anything beyond risks turning them to dust.

Even the greatest geniuses face only six at most, while peak prodigies might endure nine.

Yet Ning Qi shattered those limits, enduring several times more!

All present knew Ning Qi had likely become the Harmonization cultivator with the highest tribulation count in the history of the two spirit realms.

He had even outdone the sect leaders of the three top Immortal Sects, surpassing the three Ancestors themselves.

For an instant, despite the tribulation’s end, unease gripped everyone’s hearts.

Cultivators from every faction grasped that starting today, Ning Qi stood as the supreme talent across the two spirit realms, his potential so frightening that few dared ponder it deeply!

Thoughts swirled about how the Immortal Sects’ leaders might handle Ning Qi, and what stance the three Ancestors would take toward him.

…

Ning Qi hovered amid the void.

Clouds and thunder surged into his frame.

He quietly sensed the Harmonization body forged through the tribulation, a mighty, unbreakable feeling surging inside him!

“Is this the rule body gained upon reaching Harmonization?”

Ning Qi blinked, stars flickering and fading in his eyes as he whispered to himself.

To call forth this heavenly tribulation, he had poured out all his strength, blending powers from the Mountain and Sea Realm, Vast Realm, True Martial Realm, and Sea of Realms.

Those perilous efforts had paid off handsomely.

Ning Qi balled his fist, sensing his new Dao body could effortlessly wield every divine technique he knew, as if they were now instinctive abilities like a demon beast’s innate gifts.

No more hand seals or deliberate power gathering required; a mere thought sufficed to unleash any divine technique freely.

The distant wills of the two realms, watching his rise, grew solemn in their demeanor.

The Vast Realm Will wavered, unsure whether to remain or depart.

Facing Ning Qi once more would make its heart race with dread.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s projection fixed on Ning Qi, crying out inwardly.

“This kid will definitely eclipse both Haoshan and Sea of Emotions. Whatever it takes, I must raise him to challenge them!”

Abruptly, Ning Qi’s eyes swept below.

The two realms’ wills froze, then followed his gaze to the ground under Ning Qi.

The earth’s boundary wall lay pockmarked and charred.

The thunder tribulation had nearly ripped the war realm asunder earlier. Only the swift intervention of the two realms’ wills, pulling in external power to reinforce it, had prevented total collapse into the Sea of Realms.

Suddenly, a figure wreathed in black smoke clambered from the boundary wall’s depths.

The figure, ravaged beyond recognition by the heavenly tribulation, bore no trace of its original aura, making identity impossible.

Yet as it surfaced, it shot a quick glance at Ning Qi overhead before fleeing desperately in one direction.

Neither Ning Qi nor the two realms’ wills recognized the survivor at first.

From its flight path, though, it headed toward the Vast Realm Will.

The Vast Realm Will stared in shock as the figure barreled toward it.

Could this be that gray-robed cultivator Mi Hui?

Mi Hui, who once chased Ning Qi, ranked as the mightiest Harmonization cultivator from the Vast Realm.

Now aura-less and marked by heavenly tribulation remnants, this fortunate soul drew no attacks from Ning Qi or the realms’ wills.

They observed closely, curious about its destination.

Sensing the scrutiny, the figure accelerated wildly.

Its survival stemmed from clutching an Ancestor-bestowed Life Reviving Pill.

To the Vast Realm Will’s projection’s surprise, the figure sped past without pause or plea for help.

Mad with desperation, it pressed on solo.

Meanwhile, smoke poured from its mouth as it rasped, “Too terrifying, too terrifying!”

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will instantly appeared next to Ning Qi.

He praised first, “Kid, that was spectacular—forcing even the two realms’ wills to retreat with your tribulation.”

Ning Qi saluted with cupped hands, tempering his edge.

He inquired, “Realm Venerable, does my current state bring great risks?”

“You’re aware of risks now?” the Mountain and Sea Realm Will jested.

Then he thumped his illusory chest, declaring, “Fear not—with this Venerable present, none will dare touch you.”

“Then thank you, Realm Venerable!”

Even after surviving that matchless tribulation and forging a rule body unbound by any realm, Ning Qi stayed cautious.

In the tribulation’s chaos, Ning Qi had covertly directed thunder at the two realms’ will projections.

Like his own ordeal, those strikes manifested fully, fueled by endless might and tempering all his cultivated knowledge.

Divine techniques wielded by the tribulations outshone Ning Qi’s previous mastery.

The realms’ will projections endured the onslaught much like Ning Qi battling foes, handling it with relative ease.

Though ultimately repelled, that stemmed from their illusory fragments’ limits and the war realm capping them at Harmonization power.
