Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 785 - 330: Great Success in the Rule Realm

Yet, the glow from these five nodes remained incredibly faint, barely discernible to the eye.

"Does a single domain truly possess thirty-six nodes, including six concealed ones? That implies six spots where space can be severed to fuse with the True Martial Realm!"

A subtle grin curved Ning Qi's lips as he gazed upon the map in his grasp, unfurling through spiritual power and illumination.

At this point, he had meticulously examined every node in the war zone. Presumably, the arrangement mirrored that in the other war zones too.

With a turn of his palm, Ning Qi stored the compass away, only to have the Node Pearl from this location materialize in his palm.

After pondering for a moment, he deliberately crushed the Node Pearl with force.

"To advance the True Martial Realm's growth, this is my only choice. With six hidden nodes per domain, these six belong neither to the Mountain and Sea Realm nor the Vast Realm—they are entirely mine!"

Occupying such a site required claiming the local Node Pearl and activating the Heavenly Star to erect an altar that calls forth the Spirit Realm’s will.

In this instance, however, Ning Qi shattered the site's Node Pearl using a single hand; it broke into fragments first, then disintegrated further into a swirling haze of powder and vapor.

From Ning Qi's vicinity, spiritual power flowed out, pulling in the powder and vapor to circle him in a misty white glow.

"I am the True Martial Realm in my true essence. By invoking the will of my true form, have I thereby claimed this territory?"

Driven by a sudden urge, Ning Qi pushed his spiritual sense to its farthest reach, probing the boundaries with caution yet detecting no trace of the two realms’ wills.

Next, he adeptly formed a spatial passage overhead. Swiftly, he bridged the war zone to the True Martial Realm, forging an immediate connection to his authentic self.

Abruptly, a tremendous force descended upon Ning Qi, wrapping his entire form in its embrace.

Power from his true form's realm surged into Ning Qi's frame, causing his pristine robes to billow, resembling a celestial being's arrival as his might surged upward in an instant.

Beyond that, the Node Pearl's powder and vapor encircling Ning Qi churned into vapor akin to water reaching a boil, agitated by the will of the Realm Lord's true form.

Viewed from a distance, Ning Qi emitted a luminous white aura extending across miles; any mortal beholding it would drop to their knees in adoration without delay.

Within Ning Qi's core, an odd sensation emerged, as though he had utterly seized control here, as if the area was his alone.

"Could this be the truth?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Ning Qi's features, accompanied by a subtle, knowing smile.

Given that the Mountain and Sea Realm's and Vast Realm's wills managed to claim this domain via the Node Pearl, Ning Qi—as the True Martial Realm's will—possessed the same capability!

That said, Ning Qi paid little heed to this mere semblance of total dominion.

Throughout the war zone, excluding these unique zones, the influences of the Mountain and Sea and Vast realms permeated everywhere.

Thus, for Ning Qi to genuinely claim this territory, mere blending with the two realms' wills wouldn't suffice; he aimed to detach it entirely and incorporate it into the True Martial Realm.

This idea sparked a profound glint in Ning Qi's gaze, leading him to unleash two razor-sharp Sword Qis abruptly.

Formed through his intent, these Sword Qis incorporated every power he had mastered, enabling effortless control even post-launch!

Like dazzling streaks across the sky, the Sword Qis streaked forth, each calibrated by Ning Qi to span a kilometer.

Through mental command, Ning Qi directed the pair, having them slice both vertically and horizontally in a flash!

In their path, the Sword Qis rent the void asunder cleanly, the incisions impeccably even, with subtle black streaks emerging to signify the rift in space!

As the black streaks sealed shut, a cubic segment of space measuring a kilometer on each side detached from the surrounding void in front, now detached from the domain.

Ning Qi stretched out his right arm, clenching the empty air remotely.

Gathering as the Great Five Elements Divine Light, a colossal hand formed to seize the kilometer-scale space cube.

Spanning two kilometers, the enormous hand effortlessly captured the space cube.

Its fingers, towering like pillars of heaven, clamped onto the space cube, while within the palm, multicolored divine lights swirled to create a circular portal for teleportation.

Immensely expansive, the portal slowly consumed the kilometer-spanning space cube it cradled.

What followed was a profoundly surreal sight: the space cube vanished into the teleportation portal of the giant hand, resulting in a vast emptiness beneath that refused to mend.

Watching the proceedings, Ning Qi soon guided the severed space cube wholly via the spatial passage into the True Martial Realm.

Once inside the True Martial Realm, the kilometer space cube dissolved at once, much like butter meeting a sizzling pan or ink dispersing in water.

...

Boundless in scope, the True Martial Realm teemed with cultivating lifeforms who struggled to match its rapid expansion.

On that particular day, every creature felt another jolt of astonishment.

They poured out of their dwellings, with cultivators ascending to the heavens, all directing gazes skyward in stunned wonder.

Though numerous individuals lacked the means to observe the events above, in an inexplicable way, they perceived the spectacle clearly.

Overhead, a enormous spatial passage materialized out of nowhere, followed immediately by the sight of a crystalline, kilometer-sized void cube tumbling down from it for all to see.

Utterly anomalous, the void cube melted away rapidly upon entering the True Martial Realm, akin to sugar dissolving in liquid!

Stranger still, the realm's inhabitants sensed an abrupt addition of vast new space to the True Martial Realm, rendering it even more flawless.

Instantly, all recognized this as another wondrous feat from the Realm Lord.

Without hesitation, they turned toward the heavens, prostrating themselves and crying out devoutly: "The Realm Lord is invincible, bless the beings of the True Martial Realm!"

Subsequently, more void cubes plummeted from the spatial passage, increasing in scale, as the transformations in the True Martial Realm quickened at an even faster pace.
