Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 754 - 318: Scraping to Integration Perfection (Part 4)

Puff puff puff!

Blazing Vermilion Bird Divine Feathers assaulted the rainbow glow with intense force, resembling rain pattering against a pond, stirring mere waves. Was there any chance of real damage?

Ning Qi remained tall and unyielding inside it, tilting his head skyward and whispering, "Not enough, give me more!"

From the white glow cascading over him, a soft voice arose, "Don't get too greedy; a bit is plenty!"

Ning Qi shot back with icy tone, "You expect the horse to gallop yet feed it no hay—Mountain and Sea Realm Venerable, isn't that unfair?"

He shot a look at Chi Xiazi and pressed on, "That opponent across from me controls every bit of the Vast Realm's energy in this place, plus Vast Realm Power bolstering him. His cultivation has hit the Integration Extreme Venerable stage. Realm Venerable, glance at where I stand—don't you feel a touch of shame?"

The will paused in doubt, as Ning Qi's words hit home and silenced it, leading it to ease up on limiting Ning Qi's realm power in the end.

Brilliance from the Heavenly Star overhead grew fiercer, pulling Mountain and Sea Realm energy in a rush straight to Ning Qi.

Ning Qi's power exploded upward once more, boosted not just by extra realm power but clearly shown through his advancing cultivation too.

Though Ning Qi was still far from Integration Realm Perfection, the Mountain and Sea Realm's realm power now flooded in without stop, joined by the local energy pouring into his form.

His cultivation climbed at a noticeable pace, shooting up swiftly.

Ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent, fifty percent...

Ning Qi's body held immense strength, akin to a starving wanderer, greedily devouring the Mountain and Sea Realm's power to fill his reserves.

Chi Xiazi noticed the rise in his cultivation and unleashed a barrage of spells in wild haste against Ning Qi.

"Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven!"

"Celestial Fire Tempering Demon!"

"..."

A storm of strikes hammered the shield Ning Qi had erected, with the backlash scorching the nearby void until it crumbled, spawning nothing but dark voids.

Still, none pierced Ning Qi's guard!

Ning Qi endured untouched by any technique, standing tall and defiant in place.

"Not enough, give me more!"

He kept exploiting the Mountain and Sea Realm Will's aid, all while taunting Chi Xiazi from beyond.

"Your Vast Realm truly falls short of my Mountain and Sea Realm—is this the limit of realm power you can summon?"

Chi Xiazi's gaze flared blood-red at that, and he swiftly pulled out an item that looked like a crystal.

In his hand, the crystal burst apart, shards scattering before all fusing into his frame.

The Vast Realm's energy in this area raged wildly, surging toward him in a frenzy; beyond that, it yanked in power from deeper within the Vast Realm, hauling it all to this spot.

Chi Xiazi's cultivation stayed stuck, yet the realm power cloaking him swelled massively.

Spotting this, Ning Qi showed a flicker of concern on his face and quickly called out to the Mountain and Sea Realm Will:

"Realm Venerable, that fellow's realm power probably gathers energy from three node realms—if you hold back now, I won't manage to defeat him!"

"Kid, test it out first before you talk!"

Ning Qi didn't budge an inch.

Not even close to Integration Realm Perfection—how could he act?

He refused to think that facing a key node plus Vast Realm Domain Master Chi Xiazi ahead, with Chi Xiazi pulling in endless nearby Vast Realm energy, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will would skimp.

As the realm power streamed into him even quicker, Ning Qi let a faint smile creep onto his lips.

To Chi Xiazi watching from outside, that look seemed downright fiendish.

Chi Xiazi blanked out for a moment, struck by the nagging sense that Ning Qi was playing him like a fool?

Ning Qi was shrugging off the onslaught with ease, a total shift from his earlier approach!

Yet Chi Xiazi couldn't risk pulling away; though he yearned to aid the surviving Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect members, he grasped that the heart of the battle was Ning Qi right here.

Should he wait for Ning Qi to hoard even more realm power, forget the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect cultivators—even he, the Domain Master, would probably meet his end!

With that in mind, Chi Xiazi lashed out in utter frenzy, Ning Qi's round barrier nearly folding in on itself, hugging perilously near his skin, but failing to breach that last barrier.

Within, Ning Qi's cultivation kept soaring, until at last, the area around fell eerily still.

The shield over his body, warped deep by the barrage, abruptly sprang outward, restoring its flawless shape.

Chi Xiazi's blows crashed against it, gaining no ground at all.

"Kid, after handing you this much realm power, if you can't claim victory, forget ever coming back to the Mountain and Sea Realm!"

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will issued the warning, but Ning Qi brushed it off without a care.

His eyes locked onto Chi Xiazi, depths mirroring the endless cosmos.

Chi Xiazi's frenzied assault halted in an instant; right then, he sensed an invisible grip seizing him, rendering him utterly immobile!
