Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 750 - 317: Battle of the Domain Masters (4)

Chi Xiazi got yanked straight back in the most humiliating way possible, like he'd crashed headfirst into a colossal barrier within the emptiness!

Whoosh!

This spectacle left the cultivators from all three battling sides utterly dumbfounded!

Those from the Fuyao Realm, Qi Keqing included, stood there with mouths wide open, jaws practically dropping to the floor.

The folks from the Profound Truth Realm held up a bit better, since they placed total trust in Ning Qi already.

Still, Chi Xiazi's sudden arrival had stirred up a bit of anxiety in their minds.

To be fair, his entrance was downright horrifying—he served as the Domain Master of the Spirit Bird Domain in the Vast Realm, while Ning Qi hadn't displayed anything close to that level of might.

So, they couldn't help but figure that Chi Xiazi's power outstripped Ning Qi's by a wide margin, even as a fellow Domain Master.

The leftover disciples of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect had their joyful looks from the Domain Master's comeback locked in shock, as though they'd turned to stone right there.

Deep down, they figured that with the Domain Master back, he'd wipe out every single cultivator from the Mountain and Sea Realm in an instant.

They knew all too well just how fearsome a Domain Master's abilities could be.

Yet right now...

Their sole beacon of hope, that mighty Domain Master, had been hauled back by the composed guy from the opposing force and tossed over his shoulder like some worthless sack!

It's easy to picture the utter despair gripping the hearts of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's followers!

The fight goes on as long as it hasn't wrapped up.

Seeing Ning Qi block Chi Xiazi, Qi Keqing and the Sword Ancestor let out a heavy breath of relief.

They resolved to wipe out the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's people first and talk later!

Handling Chi Xiazi? That was all on Ning Qi.

As they kept pressing the assault on the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's ranks, they extended their divine sense to keep tabs on the clash involving Ning Qi.

All the while, a sudden idea flashed through their thoughts.

From the beginning, had Ning Qi planned to lure out the enemy's Domain Master by targeting the node cultivators, calling for their help with the Fuyao Realm's forces, and holding the position solo?

…

Ning Qi's multicolored massive palm hoisted Chi Xiazi once more, with Chi Xiazi's rage scorching the heavens—a horrifying energy burst forth from within him, shattering Ning Qi's multicolored massive palm in a flash.

He fixed his gaze on Ning Qi, roaring in fury, "Who are you?"

Ning Qi answered with steady calm, "Ning Qi, Domain Master of the Profound Truth Realm!"

Chi Xiazi: "!!!"

These words made Chi Xiazi's heart skip a beat, but a wave of ease washed over him too.

It made sense now why Ning Qi could stop him cold—he was a Domain Master himself!

Had some random nobody pinned him down with such ease, Chi Xiazi's reputation would've been in tatters.

Chi Xiazi probed the aura flowing from Ning Qi with care, and a spark of uncertainty crept in.

How come Ning Qi lacked that domain power spreading across thousands of miles, just like his did?

The domain power around Ning Qi felt incredibly weak; forget spanning thousands of miles, it barely seemed to envelop his own frame.

Maybe Ning Qi had advanced to a stage where he commanded vast might effortlessly, achieving maximum effect with minimal domain power?

A torrent of ideas raced through Chi Xiazi's head, but his top priority was rushing to save the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's comrades.

In a blink, Chi Xiazi's silhouette blurred, leaving five silhouettes in his previous position.

Four silhouettes dodged past Ning Qi, striking at the three factions' cultivators from multiple directions, as the fifth barreled straight at Ning Qi.

But Ning Qi appeared to have foreseen this move. A bunch of silhouettes materialized beside him, darting out to block Chi Xiazi's four duplicates.

The real headache for Chi Xiazi came from realizing that Ning Qi's dispatched silhouettes weren't copies of himself, but instead a handful of mighty Divine Beasts.

Suanni, Bian, Vengeance, Ba Xia...

Every Divine Beast manifested as if their authentic selves had arrived, exuding an aura way more alarming than the unflappable Ning Qi.

The moment these Divine Beasts struck, they loosed devastating innate lethal strikes, clashing right away with Chi Xiazi's duplicates.

They battled without a care for their lives, and in no time, they all perished together with Chi Xiazi's four duplicates.

In the end, just Ning Qi and Chi Xiazi's main bodies remained amid the fray.
