Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 942 - 404: Leave It to Ning Qi

The Divine Mountain Illusion now stands sentinel in the heart of the war domain. Rather than merely standing, it pierces the sky like a colossal sword within this contested territory. At this moment, its sharpened edge has torn a massive aperture in the apex of the war domain, utterly shattering the divine techniques previously unleashed by the Sea Ancestor. A solitary crescent moon hovers eerily above the Divine Mountain Illusion, a bizarre sight indeed. This crescent moon then shatters, its pallid energy being absorbed indiscriminately. Even more alarming, a jet-black light erupts from the Divine Mountain Illusion, directly consuming the dissipated gray energy. Ning Qi, alongside the Sea Ancestor and the Saint Ancestor, are all rendered speechless by this unfolding spectacle. Having personally navigated the Sea of Realms, they immediately recognize the jet-black light as the chaotic energy emanating from its deepest recesses. None could have anticipated that the Divine Mountain Illusion itself harbored such a potent and terrifying energy, one far surpassing the quality of the gray energy the Sea Ancestor had integrated into herself. The Saint Ancestor suddenly voiced a thought, "Indeed, it is said that following Buzhou Mountain's collapse, its fragments were scattered across the Sea of Realms. If he can manifest the illusion of Buzhou Mountain, it is only natural that it would contain the Sea of Realms' very essence." Upon hearing this revelation, the Sea Ancestor's countenance instantly paled. Was it possible that all her recent efforts with divine techniques had been utterly in vain? A dawning realization struck her; perhaps she had been fundamentally mistaken from the very outset. Ning Qi and Zhao Yujun found themselves propelled further along the war domain's path, drawing nearer to the Vast Realm. Whereas the Divine Mountain Illusion had previously occupied half of the war domain, it now commanded a staggering four-fifths of the available expanse. This implies that in the time it took for two realms to assemble the war domain over half a year, the Divine Mountain Illusion had succeeded in annexing four-fifths of the space in an astonishingly brief period. Only a mere fifth of the original area remains, offering a sliver of space for Ning Qi and the others to make their retreat. Ning Qi fixed his gaze forward. The Sea Ancestor and the Saint Ancestor were now completely engulfed by the abruptly expanded Divine Mountain Illusion. Observing the surging black light within, Ning Qi estimated its power to be at least on par with the chaotic energy currents encountered by his avatar within the Sea of Realms. Ning Qi let out an internal sigh; the Mountain Ancestor was indeed a being of terrifying might. However, it was perhaps more accurate to attribute this terror not to the Mountain Ancestor himself, but to the profound inheritance he had acquired. Gazing at the current situation, one could only marvel at the sheer grandeur and power of the legendary Buzhou Mountain. Even now, a mere mere illusion summoned by the Mountain Ancestor displays such immense power; how truly awe-inspiring must it have been in its prime? The Sea Ancestor and the Saint Ancestor, inadvertently ensnared within the Divine Mountain Illusion by the Mountain Ancestor, both grasped the gravity of their predicament. They initiated a desperate, rapid retreat, desperately seeking an exit from the illusion. Yet, the Mountain Ancestor observed their frantic efforts with detached indifference, a smirk playing on his lips as if watching a mere performance. Bang! Bang! As the two figures propelled themselves forward with great haste, they were violently repelled by an unseen boundary wall, the impact echoing with two thunderous crashes. Staggering to regain their balance, the Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor turned their gazes backward. They discerned that this Divine Mountain Illusion constituted a unique, self-contained space! In conventional spaces, one would need to locate specific entry and exit points, not to mention the sheer immensity of this mountainous illusion. The Saint Ancestor couldn't help but draw a comparison to the Peach Blossom Spring Space he had previously conjured. That nascent space was merely a painted world, a special domain he had fabricated by merging spatial energies with a two-dimensional drawing as its foundation. In stark contrast, it paled in comparison to the special space manifested by the Divine Mountain Illusion, rendering it utterly incomparable. This is because the Divine Mountain Illusion possesses a tangible, physical form, and the illusion currently before them is its physical projection. Coupled with its profound mystery and ancient legend, it is unequivocally a secluded dimension on par with the entirety of the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm. The sole reason it has yet to surpass these two realms is that these spiritual realms have endured for countless millennia since their genesis from the Sea of Realms. However, should the Divine Mountain Illusion continue to encroach upon the war domain's space, relentlessly consuming the power of the two spiritual realms, it will undoubtedly evolve into an entity that eclipses them both. With this thought, the Saint Ancestor suddenly apprehended the Mountain Ancestor's ultimate objective. He urgently declared to the Sea Ancestor, "This is dire! This man harbors immense ambition. He doesn't merely intend to sacrifice all living beings from both realms; he aims to devour the war domain and the two spiritual realms entirely, thereby achieving his own immortality."
