Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 753 - 318: Profiting Until Integration Perfection (Part 3)

Earlier on, Ning Qi possessed only a limited amount of realm power, and Chi Xiazi was certain that their ongoing battle would eventually lead to his victory.

However, things had changed now...

Ning Qi shot him a casual look and remarked coolly, "It’s my first time fighting someone at the Domain Master level, I hope you can last a bit longer."

Right after his words, an intense glow erupted from behind his back, shooting upward toward the sky.

Innumerable strands of spiritual qi along with rule power rushed inward, gathering within the glow, and within an instant, they shaped into a pair of wings spanning as vast as the heavens.

Purple on one side and green on the other, these purple-green wings were none other than Ning Qi’s divine technique that he hadn’t employed in ages, the Wings of Wind and Thunder.

Upon advancing to the Integration Realm, the rules had refined his physique, allowing Ning Qi to convert this ability into a tangible divine technique, always prepared for deployment.

Representing the ultimate swiftness across the world, wind and thunder blasts embodied unparalleled velocity.

With a flap of his Wings of Wind and Thunder, Ning Qi’s form blurred so much that the onlookers could scarcely track his movements.

All they witnessed was Chi Xiazi opposite him unleashing strikes toward different spots in the emptiness, each blow sparking a blaze that devoured the surrounding space.

Streaks of purple and green radiance flashed nearby at blinding speeds, appearing no more than fleeting specks of light.

Every blaze got demolished by those purple and green specks, and abruptly, Chi Xiazi’s frame doubled over, rendering him incapable of further assaults.

Ning Qi sent his body reeling several feet back with a hit, and prior to any chance of regaining composure, another onslaught from Ning Qi followed closely.

In that instant, spectators viewed Chi Xiazi as nothing but a punching bag, getting hammered repeatedly and tumbling through the void.

"Damn it!"

An furious roar escaped Chi Xiazi’s lips.

The Vast Realm’s energy built up increasingly around him, flooding into his form.

He summoned a shield made purely from realm power to envelop himself, at last stopping Ning Qi’s strikes and just barely steadying his position in the air.

As the audience turned their eyes back to him, Chi Xiazi’s crimson robe hung in shreds, scarcely shielding his frame.

Luckily, he summoned additional realm power; had Ning Qi pressed on with his attacks, Chi Xiazi would have ended up completely bare and embarrassed amid the gales.

The realm power within him swiftly mended his robe, and Chi Xiazi fixed his gaze on Ning Qi once more.

Ning Qi’s Wings of Wind and Thunder had fully withdrawn, and in a flash akin to instant relocation, he delivered a fist straight at Chi Xiazi’s protective shield.

A cold sneer twisted Chi Xiazi’s features.

Built solely from realm power, his shield boasted immense defensive thickness and could diffuse incoming forces, rendering it no simple task for Ning Qi to shatter.

Were Ning Qi really so overpowering, how had Chi Xiazi succeeded in raising this shield to fend off the prior onslaughts?

Sure enough, upon impact with the shield, Ning Qi’s fist caused it to tremble with waves rippling outward, yet it held firm without cracking.

Ning Qi’s fist lingered against the shield’s exterior, displaying no sign of pressing the assault further.

Chi Xiazi opened his mouth to speak when his eyes abruptly fixed on Ning Qi’s fist.

A vague shape appeared gripped in his fist, looking like some kind of circular item.

"Not good!"

Chi Xiazi’s eyes bulged wide; despite the brief clash, he’d realized that each action from Ning Qi held profound intent.

Whatever that circular item was in Ning Qi’s grasp, it spelled trouble!

A faint smirk tugged at Ning Qi’s mouth as he swiftly eyed the Heavenly Star above.

Bathed in the Heavenly Star’s radiant glow, his silhouette was naturally highlighted as well.

"Mountain and Sea Realm Venerable, are you still reluctant to lend me your realm power? If you don’t, I’ll take my army and abandon this large node!"

Eliminating Chi Xiazi solely through the apparent strength of Ning Qi’s reincarnation body was, of course, out of the question.

During his previous exchange with the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, he’d inquired about facing a Vast Realm Domain Master wielding Vast Realm Power—what recourse would he have?

Ning Qi had hoped the Mountain and Sea Realm Will would bestow upon him the Spirit Domain’s matching realm power, accessible anytime, and leverage it to comprehend the Mountain and Sea Realm Will more deeply.

Yet the Mountain and Sea Realm Will proved incredibly miserly, permitting mobilization only for Domain Masters posted in the Spirit Domain; upon stepping into the War Realm, they became indistinguishable from typical cultivators.

Therefore, in response to Ning Qi’s query, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will offered an alternative approach.

Namely, the circular token held in Ning Qi’s hand—the Mountain and Sea Mark!

Right then, the Mountain and Sea Mark clutched in Ning Qi’s fist crumbled against the Vast Realm Power, as if awakening some hidden force in the shadows.

From overhead, the Heavenly Star unleashed a ray of pure white light that wrapped around Ning Qi, lending him an aura of ethereal supremacy.

As Ning Qi pulled back, the white ray trailed after him, clinging steadfastly.

Sensing the influx of realm power from the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, a pleased grin spread across Ning Qi’s face.

At long last, he’d compelled the Mountain and Sea Realm Will to release its realm power.

Truth be told, he retained a substantial reserve of realm power granted by the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, but depleting it all against Chi Xiazi would mean expending his own assets to aid the Mountain and Sea Realm Will in subduing the Vast Realm.

As an expert at extracting advantages, he refused to accept such a deal!

With realm power from the Mountain and Sea Realm surging endlessly into him, Ning Qi’s presence surged dramatically, intensifying without cease.

Facing him, shock etched across Chi Xiazi’s countenance.

So earlier, Ning Qi had clashed with him sans any borrowed might from the Mountain and Sea Realm Will?

A profound sense of foreboding welled up within his chest, prompting the shield over his body to fold away, reshaping into a form-fitting attire against his skin.

Chi Xiazi lunged rapidly at Ning Qi, aiming to disrupt him before more power from the Mountain and Sea Realm could be drawn!

"Vermilion Bird Thousand-Wing Slash!"

Roaring in fury, Chi Xiazi channeled the flames enveloping his body into countless Vermilion Bird Divine Feathers, resembling celestial bolts that showered relentlessly upon Ning Qi.

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

Each Vermilion Bird Divine Feather brimmed with Vast Realm Power. The myriad feathers tore through the atmosphere, ripping the void apart and blanketing Ning Qi’s position entirely, sealing off any path of retreat.

Still, Ning Qi showed no desire to evade. Encircling him, a vibrant five-hued radiance forged from Mountain and Sea Realm power stood guard.
