Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 901 - 384: Displaying Might

Suddenly, the enormous monster scattered its form apart.

Innumerable chopped-off limbs from strange beasts, wrapped in dreadful black aura, charged at the Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators.

Zhao Yujun rushed after them swiftly, swinging her White Bone Sword, determined to chop down as many of those limbs as she could.

Ning Qi unleashed his Thousand Swords Pills once more, precisely striking those monster remnants.

Yet, aided by the Vast Realm Will, the monster grew slyer, gaining the power to shift through space itself.

Numerous severed limbs kept barreling toward the Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators.

In a flash, over a hundred Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators perished horribly.

The monster seemed to swallow them whole, absorbing their bodies completely and merging them into its own mass.

This sight sent chills racing across the skin of every cultivator who saw it.

Their recent battle comrades had turned into the monster's components, now assailing them relentlessly.

Zhao Yujun's eyes turned crimson with rage, her own followers ensnared in the chaos.

Gong Tiandao, locked in combat with Jiang Yingchu, couldn't disengage to halt the monster's advance, much less contain it.

All at once, Ning Qi spotted a horrifying beast—a centipede-like torso sprouting legs from diverse creatures—hurtling toward the Sword Ancestor.

His instincts warned that even if his Sword Pill tore through space, it would arrive a split-second late.

Ning Qi could merely pray the Sword Ancestor held it off briefly, giving his strike time to land.

As the Profound Truth Realm cultivators' present leader, the Sword Ancestor refused to fall back.

The Sword Ancestor unleashed a mighty sword strike without delay.

Sword Intent sliced across the void, cleaving away half the centipede's legs in one go.

Still, the centipede monster's form pressed onward at the Sword Ancestor.

Abruptly, a Will Sword burst from between the Sword Ancestor's brows, hacking at the centipede monster's head—or whatever passed for one.

Regardless, the Sword Ancestor's Will Sword struck a clustered head atop the centipede.

Right then, the centipede's body got slashed by the unseen, crystal-clear Will Sword, granting Ning Qi the precious instant needed for his assault to connect.

Ning Qi's Sword Pill neared the centipede monster, yet in a blink, the beast's whole frame crumbled to dust and scattered away.

"!!!"

This turn of events caused Ning Qi's pupils to shrink sharply.

He knew for certain his Sword Pill hadn't touched the centipede monster, since it turned to ash prior to impact.

Even after reaching the Harmonization stage, the Sword Ancestor shouldn't have vaporized it so effortlessly.

The Sword Ancestor himself puzzled over his strike's potency.

Was the monster truly so feeble?

In a sudden epiphany, he grasped the truth.

He sent a urgent message to Ning Qi: "Kid, I've been tainted by Evil Qi for years. Though you purged most of it, traces remain in me, so that's why. The Evil Qi impacts this monster! Hurry and deploy the Evil Qi on them!"

Enlightenment dawned on Ning Qi abruptly.

He smacked his forehead, chiding himself for the late realization!

Little wonder he'd sensed a familiar presence from these monsters upon their emergence—the Evil Qi's signature!

Comprehension filled Ning Qi.

From his Storage Space, he retrieved a portion of the Evil Qi once drawn out for the Sword Ancestor.

It came in an exquisitely made Sealing Evil Bottle.

In one hand, Ning Qi gripped the Sealing Evil Bottle; in the other, the golden key that had tamed the Evil Qi before.

By his power alone, freely wielding this Evil Qi remained challenging; the golden key's might proved essential.

For now, he ignored their mysterious origins, using them simply as tools.

With focused will, Ning Qi activated them.

A soft glow shimmered from the golden key in his grasp.

Instantly, the Sealing Evil Bottle uncorked, unleashing a wisp of murky gray-black Evil Qi.

This Evil Qi wavered between condensing and dispersing, first trying to diffuse and escape.

Yet a gentle light from the golden key descended, halting the Evil Qi in place.

Simultaneously, the golden key warmed in Ning Qi's palm, signaling a change.

Ning Qi felt stunned.

He quickly perceived he could now command this thread of Evil Qi.

Assured the Evil Qi was contained and wieldable, Ning Qi eased up.

Even before he directed the Evil Qi, he saw every monster assailing the Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators below swivel their heads toward him the moment the Evil Qi emerged.

A thrill pounded in Ning Qi's chest.

"So the Evil Qi truly influences them?"

Suddenly, every monster unleashed a horrifying screech.

The noise this time eclipsed all prior ones in sheer terror, laced with a profoundly conflicting sentiment.

Excitement mingled with dread.

Ning Qi remained clueless about their bizarre reaction, so his mind swiftly directed the thread of Evil Qi. It coiled like a shadowy gray-black serpent, hurtling toward the monsters.

After the Sword Ancestor’s earlier strike, he refused to stay idle this time.

He surged forward, relentlessly deploying the Will Sword to butcher monsters in the vicinity.

The closest beast had freshly swallowed three Sea Ancestor cultivators, rendering it utterly nightmarish. No one dared linger near it, all having fled to a distant safety.

Without Ning Qi’s Evil Qi drawing the monster’s gaze, it would surely have feasted on even more cultivators.

In that instant, the Sword Ancestor’s Will Sword cleaved down, instantly obliterating the creature that had merged the three cultivators into its form.

The Sword Ancestor’s savage assault sparked wild cheers from the Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators.

They never dreamed Ning Qi commanded such a formidable subordinate!
