Brahma Heaven, cornered by the three Vast Realm commanders, teleports to a group of his own Celestial Fire Realm geniuses, intending to use them as shields while charging his void transfer talisman for a long-distance escape. The geniuses, recognizing his betrayal, resolve to fight desperately against the Vast Realm forces and transmit enemy coordinates to Realm Lord Ning Qi instead of attacking him. As Brahma Heaven's transfer activates unexpectedly, the group vanishes from the battlefield, leaving him exposed and vulnerable, only for Ning Qi to appear nearby and reverse Brahma Heaven's fading form, trapping him in place amid his growing fear.

Ning Qi had lingered in this spot for some time already.

With his own eyes, he observed Brahma, the leader of the Heavenly Fire Domain, scheming to sacrifice the True Martial Realm reincarnators as mere cannon fodder, intending to trade their lives so he could escape with his own.

As a commander, Brahma wielded immense and frightening strength, yet when confronting the cultivators from the Hao Ran World, he showed no desire to guide his followers to safety alongside him.

To him, his life alone held any true value!

Luckily, Ning Qi had shown up and, of course, refused to let Brahma's scheme come to fruition.

Thus, Ning Qi swiftly relocated the True Martial Realm reincarnators to his location and then halted Brahma's bid to flee via teleportation.

Although Brahma clutched a void teleportation talisman, for Ning Qi—who excelled in teleportation techniques and commanded the rules of space—it made no difference if Brahma hadn't departed completely; even if he had successfully teleported, Ning Qi could simply drag him back!

The onlookers behind him, observing Ning Qi's maneuvers, displayed pleased looks on their faces.

"Haha, let's see how that villain tries to escape now!"

"I've long disliked that father and son duo. If Brahma falls to the Hao Ran World cultivators, Fan City likely won't stand a chance against them."

"..."

Ning Qi had erected a concealment formation, rendering their forms invisible to others.

His gaze scanned the Hao Ran World army cultivators across the battlefield, pondering whether he ought to confront these foes?

After reflection, Ning Qi chose to hold back.

After all, another intervention on his part would only serve to aid those in the Central Domain.

The Heavenly Fire Domain under Brahma, plus the surviving forces of the Earth Metal Domain and Vine Wood Domain—these three cultivator armies, all originating from the Mountain and Sea Realm, weren't ones Ning Qi intended to support further.

Furthermore, through the accounts of the True Martial Realm reincarnators serving him, Ning Qi had gained a complete grasp of the Three Spirit Domains' inner workings.

In general, the rulers of the Three Spirit Domains regarded rank-and-file cultivators as worthless, leading to a ruthless pragmatism among its members, where survival of the fittest reigned supreme.

They lacked the warmth and loyalty seen in cultivators from the Profound Truth Realm, Fuyao Realm, or Langya Realm.

Ning Qi resolved to rescue solely the True Martial Realm cultivators from their ranks, allowing the others to clash fiercely to the death against the Hao Ran World!

In the end, he would intervene to wrap things up.

Ning Qi directed his attention forward.

Within the void, the trio of Hao Ran World commanders had fully encircled Brahma.

At this instant, Brahma's face bore a deeply sullen expression, utterly baffled by the unfolding events.

Fei Bing and his two allies struck together, and despite Brahma's arsenal of magical treasures and spiritual artifacts, he was swiftly subdued and seized by the three of them.

Fei Bing and the others demanded, "Tell us, where did those people vanish to just now?"

Brahma, restrained by the trio, who once brimmed with arrogance and vigor, now appeared ragged and defeated, his garments torn, reduced to a total captive.

With a sneer, Brahma retorted, "If I knew their whereabouts, do you think I'd still be standing here?"

Upon hearing this, Fei Bing, Hua Jieyu, and Qiu Daoyu shared knowing looks. They accepted his claim as truthful.

Yet, how could the group Brahma meant to use as sacrificial pawns have vanished so abruptly?

Moments ago, they had numbered over a hundred at a quick count, and this inexplicable vanishing act filled Fei Bing and his allies with unease.

Qiu Daoyu abruptly suggested, "Could Ning Qi have made an appearance?"

Fei Bing and Hua Jieyu knitted their brows, scanning their surroundings warily.

"If he truly is here, given his power, why hide himself? Remember, the Realm Venerable commanded all our forces to steer clear of him, awaiting backup."

This remark only deepened the trio's confusion.

Certainly, the Vast Realm Will had detailed Ning Qi's terrifying prowess to them, describing a being who had subdued the entire Lower Realm—far beyond their capabilities.

It simply didn't add up for Ning Qi to appear yet evade confrontation.

Right then, Brahma seemed to glean a clue from the three's exchange.

Thinking back to the swift withdrawal of the Hao Ran World cultivators, a realization dawned on him.

Their hasty retreat stemmed not from fear of him, Brahma, but from dread of a certain cultivator called Ning Qi!

Still, the name Ning Qi rang no bells for Brahma.

Nevertheless, this Ning Qi had to be a Mountain and Sea Realm expert to evoke such terror in Fei Bing and the rest.

Desperate for a way out, Brahma resolved to capitalize on Ning Qi's fame with a bold lie and declared outright:

"Are you worried that Ning Qi has arrived?"

The three jolted in surprise, whipping around to face Brahma.

Fei Bing questioned, "You know Ning Qi?"

Brahma's mouth twitched into a smirk, wincing as it pulled at an injury, etching pain across his features.

Undeterred, he pressed on, "I share a close friendship with Ning Qi. Release me now, or he'll rush here at once to avenge me and wipe you all out!"

These words stunned not just Fei Bing and his companions but also Ning Qi and the hidden group in the void, who all wore odd expressions.

This wretched Brahma proved remarkably skilled at empty threats!

He remained oblivious to Ning Qi's proximity or that Ning Qi had foiled his teleportation escape.

"Realm Lord, this fellow excels at borrowing strength from others; these sorts often resort to false pretenses of borrowed might," one of them remarked to Ning Qi.

Ning Qi gave a faint nod, shifting his focus away from Brahma.

He produced a compass and examined it briefly.

The compass displayed a map aglow with a soft blue light.

Ning Qi spotted at once that the dots marking the Earth Metal Domain and Vine Wood Domain were hurrying toward this spot, evidently rushing to Brahma's aid.

This development suited him perfectly, pitting both factions in a grand clash right here, wearing down their forces and simplifying his eventual involvement.

Ning Qi cast another look at Brahma and the group, noting how Brahma kept delaying with tales of his alleged ties to Ning Qi.

Evidently, Brahma could persist long enough for the other domains' armies to reach the scene.
