Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 902 - 384: Displaying Might (Part 2)

Right now, Ning Qi’s evil qi resembled a wandering dragon, darting swiftly across the void.

This evil qi was already highly troublesome, but under Ning Qi’s mental command, it grew even fiercer.

It pierced through the first monster.

All eyes were nearly locked on tracking Ning Qi’s actions.

In a flash, everyone saw Ning Qi’s strike pass through that monster, yet it didn’t shatter outright like those destroyed by the Sword Ancestor.

Rather, its form shriveled in an instant, scattered into dust by the wind, as its vitality got absorbed by the evil qi, apparently serving as fuel that blended into it.

"!!!"

The others failed to notice this detail, simply sensing Ning Qi’s approach differed from the Sword Ancestor’s, clueless about the cause of the disparity.

Yet Ning Qi clearly detected it.

"Could it be that this evil qi and the monster are of the same origin?"

He pondered doubtfully.

Ning Qi didn’t dwell on it further and kept directing the dragon-shaped evil qi.

Like a blade or a pin, it kept darting through the space below.

Each time it burst from the void, it cut down nearby monsters one after another.

That wisp of evil qi swelled even stronger and more enigmatic.

Ning Qi felt a mounting force within it striving to break free from his control.

But thanks to the golden key’s restraint, regardless of how much monster life force the evil qi consumed, it stayed firmly under Ning Qi’s dominion.

Before long, Ning Qi had utterly eradicated all monsters in the Central Domain.

His prowess shone once more before the two realms’ cultivators, while the Sword Ancestor’s sudden arrival naturally seized the crowd’s intense focus.

With the twisted monsters wiped out, every cultivator watched vigilantly, eager to spot any hints of their regeneration.

This occasion differed from prior ones; after several breaths, no signs of monster reformation appeared.

Ning Qi knew deep down that this evil qi truly was their perfect counter.

He directed the evil qi to return.

The evil qi surged back into the Sealing Evil Bottle, prompting Ning Qi to peer inside.

There, the gray-black evil qi appeared a deeper shade and far more lively.

It writhed restlessly in the bottle, hissing like a serpent.

Ning Qi capped the bottle tightly and stored it away.

Be it this evil qi, the twisted monsters from moments ago, or the golden key, he still hadn’t unraveled their true nature.

Oh, and Ning Qi felt his chest, where a pristine dead leaf remained—a treasure from the Mountain and Sea Realm Will to block the Spirit Realm’s detection.

Ning Qi could only plan to investigate these mysteries later; ending the two-realm war came first.

Yet his curiosity about venturing into the Sea of Realms suddenly surged.

How many secrets lurked in the Sea of Realms?

How many enigmas? More crucially, how much more powerful could he grow?

High in the void, the clashing wills of the two realms had ceased long before.

They noticed when Ning Qi unleashed the evil qi to annihilate the monsters.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will stirred faintly but stayed silent.

Meanwhile, the Vast Realm Will’s phantom had flickering eyes, its face grim with displeasure.

"Unexpectedly, he found a way to resolve these twisted monsters. Damn it, I need to report to the teacher again!"

He’d earlier witnessed Ning Qi assist the Sword Ancestor and others through their tribulation, expelling this evil qi.

He’d consulted the Saint Ancestor Master, who suspected it was the legendary infinite evil qi, though uncertain at the time.

Now, with Ning Qi wielding it against the twisted monsters, the Vast Realm Will grew even more convinced it was infinite evil qi.

The phantoms of the two realm wills hovered in the sky.

The Vast Realm Will glanced down at the battlefield.

Just moments ago, it had used its will to direct those twisted monsters against the Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators, yielding impressive results.

Roughly five hundred Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators had fallen.

Vast Realm cultivators seized the chance, slaying another five hundred from Mountain and Sea Realm.

In all, about a thousand Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators perished, slightly restoring the Vast Realm’s advantage.

Still, the window had been far too brief.

Plus, the eliminated Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators were mostly those with weaker cultivation, nowhere near the thousand Harmonization experts lost in Ning Qi’s prior celestial tribulation.

Shockingly, Ning Qi had ruined it all once again!

The Will of the Vast Realm brimmed with frustration, nearly on the verge of spitting blood.

Abruptly, its phantom quivered faintly, hinting at imminent dispersal.

The instant after, it got restrained once more, yet this drew the attention of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will's phantom.

"Hmm?"

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will wasn't dim-witted; a brief analysis revealed the cause behind the foe's condition.

The phantom of the Vast Realm Will narrowed its eyes a touch.

"Merely a sliver of my will attempting to command those warped beasts actually resulted in backlash? These entities are truly horrifying, it's no surprise the teacher warned against stirring them without dire need!"

His mind drifted to the evil qi wielded by Ning Qi, leaving him puzzled anew.

Unclear if the backlash came from his dominion over the twisted monsters or if Ning Qi’s evil qi played a part too.

"The teacher cautioned me against meddling with such abominations, as greater repercussions might follow, so I'll consult the teacher once more."

He cast another look downward.

The clash between the two realms still heavily favored the Mountain and Sea Realm.

With the twisted monsters now eradicated and the Saint Ancestor’s avatar vanished, Ning Qi along with Zhao Yujun, the Sect Leader of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect, stood unburdened. Their foes had only Jiang Yingchu left as the top expert—how could they possibly claim victory in this war?
