Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 776 - 326: The Greatest Harvest (Part 3)

As he changed his location, Ning Qi pondered his approach.

Handling the pair would be straightforward, but the vital aspect was ensuring they didn't unintentionally injure Qi Keqing and her group. In the best scenario, he could also take out Sikong Lan and the others—that would make everything ideal.

In an instant, Ning Qi had moved to a spot three kilometers away from Kuang Shanqing.

Abruptly, a sense of wrongness hit him.

"Why do I detect no Mountain and Sea Realm energy or Vast Realm energy in this area?"

This detail had escaped him before, but now spotting it, Ning Qi halted right away, a strange grin spreading across his face.

"Impressive, Qi Keqing deserves praise. Without her being taken, how would I have uncovered this spot inside the war realm free from the intents of both realms?"

A spark of delight flashed in Ning Qi's eyes, his joy surpassing what he felt earlier.

He could declare that finding this location was the biggest gain from stepping into the war realm!

For ages, Ning Qi had sought a site where the intents of the two realms remained undetectable, letting him cut through space and link it to the True Martial Realm to speed up its expansion.

This very place fit the bill perfectly, and he had at last located it!

Curbing his thrill, Ning Qi knew he had to settle the two Domain Masters first before delving deeper into exploration.

His sight locked onto the central node of this area, and a plan formed in his mind immediately.

Just like Qi Baishou in the past, these two weren't seizing the node but aimed to bait him using the Compass.

Very well then...

With a faint smile, Ning Qi teleported once more, closing in to within a hundred meters of Kuang Shanqing.

Neither Kuang Shanqing nor the concealed cunning elder picked up on his arrival.

Ning Qi hid his aura, stealthily positioning himself right behind the Hundred Beasts Domain Master Qianying.

Looking at the old plotter who lay prone on the earth, eyes fixed forward, Ning Qi quietly invoked his technique: "Dimensional Space!"

In a moment, the area around him severed completely from the surrounding space, though he retained a clear view of the exterior.

This was a Divine Technique that Ning Qi had devised after gaining command over the Power of Space Rule.

Qianying up ahead creased his brow slightly.

The Qi Baishou that Ning Qi had slain was his own disciple. While Qi Baishou dominated the Hundred Beasts, Qianying had forged a Thousand Beast Shadows!

Qianying possessed an extraordinarily keen sense, drawing from countless skills among the thousand beasts. Be it his hiding prowess or his detection skills, in the immense Vast Realm, barely anyone could match him.

Even as Ning Qi maximized his concealment, striving to avoid any ripples in space, Qianying still picked up a hint of peril.

He cast a look skyward, spotting Kuang Shanqing still meditating in the air, with many Fuyao Realm experts listlessly perched on the ground beneath.

Acting prudently, Qianying abruptly jumped aside, shifting his position.

Ning Qi figured this fellow had spotted him and almost launched an attack.

Yet quickly he understood it was mere gut feeling. He smirked to himself, relocating once again behind Qianying.

On this occasion, Qianying detected no anomaly.

Ning Qi shaped his hand like a blade, pointed it at Qianying's rear, and unleashed a strike in a flash.

"One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques!"

A densely packed Sword Qi burst forth without delay, but it moved with utmost secrecy. The air quivered faintly, on the verge of slamming into Qianying's back.

Suddenly, a cold shiver raced along Qianying's spine.

As he whipped his head around, his body twisted at the waist, releasing a surge of thousand beast shadows from within, his palms morphing into claw-like strikes, as he bellowed, "Who is there?"

Yet no figure appeared behind him, completely catching him off guard, making his rapid counter useless!

Ning Qi's Sword Qi never faltered, slicing through the multitude of beast shadows.

At the top layer hovered a Profound Turtle shadow, its shell manifesting in a blend of illusion and reality, seeming utterly authentic.

Beneath surfaced a majestic Pangolin, its armored scales splitting open, emitting subtle sounds.

Deeper still was a white Rhino, its skin tough as stone...

Beast shadow upon beast shadow materialized, showcasing Qianying's impenetrable defenses.

Regrettably, his opponent was Ning Qi, whose Sword Dao stood unmatched, wielding diverse Power of Rules all fused into his Sword Dao, unbeatable against peers!

Right after Qianying yelled 'who is there,' his voice morphed into a terrified wail.

"Hiss~ah!"

The thousand beast shadows enveloping him got bisected by the Sword Qi, exposing his real body underneath, which Ning Qi's sword felled in an instant.

Qianying brimmed with arrogance; he cultivated the Ten Thousand Beasts Harmonization Doctrine, mastering a thousand beasts to reach Integration Perfection, and by refining one more beast, he could enter the Unity Realm.

Still, he ventured into the war realm with firm resolve to safeguard the Vast Realm, aiming to achieve legendary feats for its sake.

Inconceivably, he perished to the Sword Qi without even glimpsing his foe.

As his Spiritual Sense faded, Qianying desperately mustered his remaining Spiritual Sense Power, using his last gasp to alert Kuang Shanqing who sat in the void.

However, his lingering Spiritual Sense appeared cut off by some spatial barrier, failing to connect with Kuang Shanqing at all.

Qianying plummeted into nothingness, filled with deep reluctance.

Ning Qi tucked his body into a spatial storage, though he chose not to fully destroy Qianying's Primordial Spirit.

For a talent like this, Ning Qi merely sealed him away, intending to deal with it afterward. The optimal result would be sparing his life if feasible, and best of all, turning him to his side.

With Qianying handled, Ning Qi looked up toward Kuang Shanqing.

Luckily, he had activated Dimensional Space. Despite the clash with Qianying producing unavoidable energy waves, absent the Dimensional Space, Kuang Shanqing would have definitely sensed it.

The entire confrontation with Qianying lasted just a handful of breaths. Ning Qi carefully dispelled Dimensional Space, materializing behind Kuang Shanqing.
