Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 756 - 319: Invincible (Part 2)
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Resembling mere ants, the group struggled to force their way into a massive boulder.
Ahead of them, Ning Qi transmitted a brief message consisting of just three words.
"Leave it to me!"
Those three words acted like a soothing wind, instantly easing the tension among the onlookers.
The entire assembly halted their movements and turned their attention to Ning Qi positioned in the midst.
"Sect Leader!"
"Alliance Hierarch!"
Members of the Infinite Sword Sect and the profound True Realm shouted together, their calls reverberating endlessly.
Those from Fuyao Realm stayed quiet, yet their eyes remained locked on Ning Qi's form.
Within their ranks stood numerous cultivators reborn from the True Martial Realm; even with knowledge of Ning Qi's background, anxiety gripped them still.
In truth, Ning Qi's primary form was absent from this place, present only as his reborn incarnation.
Taoist Longshan's and Ye Qinghe's gazes wavered uncertainly.
They placed the greatest faith in Ning Qi, having gone so long without witnessing his prowess, and now, at this reunion, he confronted foes of such magnitude.
Chi Xiazi served as the Domain Master of the Vast Realm, possessing strength vastly surpassing any adversaries encountered in the True Martial Realm previously!
Nevertheless, drawing on memories of earlier triumphs, they held firm to the conviction that Ning Qi would claim ultimate success!
The Vermilion Bird form taken by Chi Xiazi kept wheeling around Ning Qi without pause.
Surrounding space appeared as if it were decaying wreckage, disintegrating fragment by fragment.
Solely the space encircling Ning Qi within a ten-foot radius stayed whole and undisturbed.
A soft white glow radiated from Ning Qi.
Amid the encircling blaze, this white radiance, lacking the flames' intense brilliance, resembled pure sunlight, warding off all malevolent forces.
"If you don’t act now, I will not wait any longer!"
Ning Qi lifted his gaze toward the orbiting Chi Xiazi, his expression serene and steady.
As though the disturbances stirred by Chi Xiazi amounted to nothing more than faint ripples on a small pool for him.
Fear did not touch him; instead, he patiently awaited the foe's buildup of power for that devastating assault.
Chi Xiazi unleashed yet another piercing cry, causing the fractured emptiness to grow darker, leaving just the fires persisting.
From the Vermilion Bird's eyes, a glare fixed upon the puny Ning Qi far beneath, launching its assault at last!
The enormous Vermilion Bird God abruptly ceased its rotations, looming high over Ning Qi.
With wings unfurled wide, it shrouded the whole heavens, flames dominating this domain entirely, its godly might overwhelming, devouring and erasing the emptiness underneath.
"Die!"
Chi Xiazi bellowed fiercely.
Resembling heavenly blaze, shooting star, deity, fiend, the Vermilion Bird God morphed into a curving blade, hurtling down at Ning Qi.
This curving blade cleaved the emptiness, reducing all it touched to absolute void.
Below, Ning Qi's small silhouette projected a ten-foot barrier of mild white illumination.
Observed from a distance, it evoked a delicate strand of fluff drifting on the breeze.
Just as the curving blade appeared ready to slice through that fluff, abruptly, within the pitch-black emptiness, rhythmic pounding echoed forth.
"Boom boom! Boom boom!"
From Ning Qi's attire in white emerged a spectral image.
Stretching and compressing, stretching and compressing, it pulsed in rhythm with the beats!
No mystical energy infused the noise, nor did the apparition possess any solid essence.
Still, the descending curving blade failed to breach the encircling mild white glow of fluff!
"Impossible!"
Through the shadowy emptiness, Chi Xiazi's voice of disbelief resounded softly.
He had drawn in the power amassed against Ning Qi, collected the vital essence from the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect, and fused his personal vitality into the Vermilion Bird God.
At this moment, Chi Xiazi surged with unprecedented might, convinced his strength matched that of a full Vast Realm Domain Master amid the battlefield state.
Yet how could he fail to fell Ning Qi?
Pouring every ounce of effort, the blaze along the curving blade intensified, growing denser and deeper!
Evoking the first crimson glow of sunrise piercing the eastern horizon, mere sliver though it was, sufficient to banish every shadow!
"Boom boom!"
"Boom boom!"
Amid the inky emptiness, the pounding thundered like storm drums; beyond Ning Qi, a specter burst free, refusing to contract any longer.
This specter grew steadily denser and vaster, mirroring Ning Qi exactly.
Shattering the ten-foot mild white glow of fluff, it swelled immeasurably in an instant, touching the Heavenly Star battle boundary barrier overhead and planting feet on the ground underneath.
A colossal white titan silhouette turned its back to the assembly, manifesting to swiftly mend the space ripped into nothingness by Chi Xiazi.
The region shifted from pure inferno to dominance by this single white rear figure.
"Ah!"
A pained shriek jolted the onlookers, sending their pulses racing.
Upon closer inspection, the titan silhouette stretched out a massive palm, clamping a frail crimson bird between its thumb and index finger.
The assembly's stares bulged, jaws dropping in shock.
Might that crimson bird represent Chi Xiazi, capable of razing the war realm?
As the white rear silhouette squeezed with its digits, the crimson bird went utterly still.
In a flash, blaze surged through the emptiness, myriad powers dispersing akin to drifting mists and beams.
The titan silhouette drew a gentle breath, converting every blaze and misty beam into twin serpents that flowed into its nasal passages.
"Domain Master!"
"Domain Master invincible!"
As though ignited by one voice, cultivators of the Profound Truth Realm began shouting fervently in succession.
Excitement surged through the group, their gazes brimming with adoration.
Nearby, the forces of Fuyao Realm refrained from joining in, yet within every soul took root an eternal sacred vision.
"Alright, enough flattering," the titan silhouette remarked casually.
The Profound Truth Realm folk ceased promptly, though grins lingered on their features, impossible to conceal.
Qi Keqing alongside the Fuyao Realm cultivators, pulled from awe by this statement, sensed the sacred vision become somewhat more approachable, infused now with greater tangibility and kindness.
Suddenly, the titan silhouette thrust a hand downward toward the ground.
Upon the ground, a sacred platform ascended in a heartbeat.
