Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 913 - 389: Central Domain Shattered (Part 2)
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Therefore, Ning Qi’s followers are deemed allies of these Sea Ancestors, forging a natural compatibility between them.
Once all cultivators fell silent, the Central Domain was left in desolate ruins following the war.
"This situation aligns perfectly with my intentions. To determine the ultimate outcome between the two realms, only a battle amongst us is necessary, without the involvement of any other cultivators."
The Sea Ancestor’s avatar suddenly spoke.
Both Ning Qi and the Saint Ancestor’s avatars were caught by surprise.
It turned out the Sea Ancestor harbored identical thoughts.
Only Ning Qi was busy calculating in his heart, weighing the advantages and disadvantages this scenario presented him.
The primary downside was that if the cultivators of both realms ceased their fighting, he would inevitably face a greater number of enemies when he eventually turned hostile.
Furthermore, he was compelled to enter the fray at this moment, exposing himself to the scrutiny of several Ancestors, which left Ning Qi feeling somewhat uneasy.
The positive aspect, however, was that Ning Qi wouldn't need to concern himself with the survival of his followers and could fight with uninhibited boldness and confidence.
"Very well, since you both have decided that the outcome will be determined by your direct battle, I shall simply remain down here."
Ning Qi still voiced these words.
Yet, the instant he finished speaking, a faint, uniquely feminine fragrance wafted to his senses.
The Sea Ancestor’s avatar instantly materialized behind him, seizing his collar with one hand while exhaling a breath of fragrant air.
"They may rest, but you certainly cannot!"
Ning Qi felt the biting cold of the fist on his collar and the delicate, fragrant air, sniffing with a visage etched in bitterness.
Truly, it was an impossibility for him to conceal himself and passively await the demise of these Ancestors as they fought one another.
With no other choice, he was simply too remarkable, having long since captured the Dharma Eye of the Ancestors and the very wills of the two realms, making it utterly impossible for him to remain detached.
"Alright, alright, I shall join the battle. Sea Ancestor, you needn't clutch me like a mere chick in front of everyone."
Upon hearing this, the Sea Ancestor’s avatar promptly released Ning Qi.
"Do not attempt to shirk your duty. Ordinary cultivators may lack the courage and the opportunity to contend with beings like us, and if you fail to seize this moment to engage, how could you possibly hope to surpass us?"
The Sea Ancestor’s avatar imparted this wisdom earnestly.
Ning Qi tilted his head, observing her closely, and found the Sea Ancestor’s avatar to be exceedingly serious, her gaze cold and fixed upon him.
As their eyes met, Ning Qi pierced through her outward coldness and apparent madness, discerning a hidden softness within.
She was guiding him with a gentle touch, much like his cherished senior sister within the Immortal Cultivation Sects.
"Sea Ancestor, are you not concerned that I might surpass you?" Ning Qi inquired, scratching his head.
The Sea Ancestor’s avatar initially let out a faint sneer before calmly responding, "Your goal to surpass us would require at least ten thousand years of cultivation, young one!"
"Ten thousand years is far too long; I contend for every single moment!" Ning Qi retorted with unwavering resolve.
The Sea Ancestor's avatar extended her jade-like finger and lightly tapped Ning Qi's forehead.
"As you wish. Should you truly surpass us one day, it shall signify the dawning of a new era."
She paused, her eyes betraying a complex emotion, "If such a day indeed arrives, perhaps it would be a favorable outcome for me as well. I sincerely hope it comes to pass swiftly."
At this precise juncture, a hint of profound weariness, accumulated over countless years, seemed to permeate her tone.
Ning Qi gazed at her breathtaking yet austere countenance, sensing that the Sea Ancestor held a memory she could not easily cast aside.
"Ahem, have you concluded your conversation?"
The Saint Ancestor’s avatar, having finished its discourse with the Vast Realm Will, addressed both Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor’s avatar.
The Sea Ancestor’s avatar gracefully moved forward, "Pray tell, what transpires next?"
The Saint Ancestor’s avatar offered a smile, "You should already comprehend."
"Very well, in that case, let us proceed!"
Ning Qi suddenly witnessed both Ancestor avatars acting in unison.
Each extended a palm, directing their focus towards the northern and southern extremities of the Central Domain.
Instantly, two colossal energies surged forth, hurtling towards the boundary walls situated in the north and south.
Concurrently, the wills of the two realms did not remain passive, lending their potent realm power to the endeavor.
The entirety of the Central Domain vibrated intensely under the combined might of the Ancestors' avatars and the realm wills.
The very ground quaked, and the fabric of space twisted into chaos.
However, the realm wills swiftly deployed their intrinsic power to preserve the stability of the designated war domain.
Crack!
Ning Qi observed the Central Domain's boundary wall fracturing like brittle glass in the distant expanse.
Crack, crack!
Unbeknownst to anyone how long it endured, the entire encircling boundary wall of the Central Domain became riddled with fissures.
Abruptly, both the Sea and Saint Ancestor’s avatars retracted their hands and turned their gaze towards Ning Qi.
Under their collective scrutiny, Ning Qi inquired, "Why are you both staring at me? This is the final step; continue."
Before the Sea Ancestor could utter a word, the Saint Ancestor's avatar cleared its throat and stated:
"Kid, are you truly unaware or pretending not to know that the ultimate power to break must come from someone besides us."
Ning Qi was stunned, "What kind of reasoning is this?"
Then the Sea Ancestor’s avatar explained, "He’s right. If either of us breaks the boundary wall, it might trigger a frightening change."
Ning Qi slightly frowned, unclear of what this purported change would be.
Could the final breaking of this war domain’s Central Domain boundary wall lead to something terrifying?
Without understanding the secret behind it, Ning Qi had no choice but to act.
"Fine, I enjoy doing such things. If you’re unwilling to deliver the final blow, I’ll do it!"
Ning Qi declared as he flicked his finger.
Immediately, his fingertip condensed a Rule, forming a sword pill.
The sword pill soared through the air, rapidly striking the distant boundary wall.
Crack!
Instantly, the last barrier of the Central Domain shattered amidst continuous cracking sounds, breaking apart like a domino effect.
As the boundary wall of the Central Domain crumbled, no walls now inhibited the war domain within, turning it into a transparent war space!
Rumble!
The entire war domain roared, unleashing endless spiritual Qi, with countless powers of rules traversing within, while drawing power from the Sea of Realms and blending into the war domain.
Amidst the ground’s shaking, spiritual Qi was like fog, rules like wind, flowing grandly.
Ning Qi realized, due to his final strike at the Central Domain’s boundary wall, the entire war domain seemed to feedback a type of power to him.
Countless spiritual Qi and rule power as well as realm power, surged toward him.
His just-broken-through Harmonization cultivation suddenly grew rapidly once again.
Breaking through Harmonization’s initial stage, entering the mid-period, without any hindrance advancing to Harmonization’s late-period, finally halting at Perfection.
Ning Qi widened his eyes, astonished at the smiling gazes of the Sea and Saint Ancestor’s avatars fixed on him.
"What’s going on here?"
Both avatars didn’t answer and instead vanished from in front of Ning Qi.
"???"
As Ning Qi was puzzled, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s shadow appeared beside him.
"Seems they made a secret deal."
"A deal?"
The Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s shadow frowned slightly, "Did they communicate telepathically before?"
Ning Qi suddenly remembered hearing the Saint Ancestor’s avatar say something as he opened the Peach Blossom Spring Space and invited the Sea Ancestor’s avatar inside.
Could it be that they planned everything from that moment?
But the two should be enemies, what did they discuss, and why did they look at him like that?
At this moment, Ning Qi’s mind became tangled in numerous thoughts, difficult to unravel clearly, feeling the situation growing unfathomable.
If the Saint Ancestor’s avatar made a deal with the Sea Ancestor’s avatar, what conditions convinced the Sea Ancestor’s avatar?
Ning Qi, sensing his increasingly formidable power, surveyed the entire war domain.
His current position belonged to the center of the war domain, but Ning Qi’s vision could fully view the northern and southern extreme distances, the boundaries at the ends.
The boundary walls at both ends connected the original walls of the two Spirit Realms, intersecting with the war domain, and were the final barriers leading to the two Spirit Realms!
As his vision blurred, Ning Qi saw the two ultimate barriers quietly opening.
"Are their true forms about to descend?"
Ning Qi felt his blood flowing faster; he was finally about to witness the true form of the Ancestors.
