Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 801 - 337: Arrival of Twenty Harmonization Experts (Part 2)

Ning Qi genuinely feared that the Vast Realm's cultivators would slay Brahma Heaven on the spot, which could make the forces from the Earth Gold Realm and Vine Wood Realm reluctant to arrive.

As a result, Ning Qi turned to the group behind him and declared, “Traveling by yourself is far too risky, so stick with me.”

The entire group nodded in agreement together.

Ning Qi swiftly triggered the teleportation formation, and the others trailed after him, vanishing from that location.

During the journey, Ning Qi seamlessly transported everyone to the locations of the Earth Gold Realm and Vine Wood Realm forces, quietly incorporating the True Martial Realm's cultivators into his own ranks.

Next, he conjured illusions to stand in for them, letting these illusions keep pace with the two armies ahead, ensuring no one detected anything amiss.

After finishing these actions, Ning Qi led almost three hundred True Martial Realm reincarnators across the void to rejoin the Profound Truth Realm's army.

They were once more placed under Qin Minghao's command.

Right away, Ning Qi set out to capture the other four concealed nodes, aiming to further bolster the True Martial Realm's expansion!

...

In the northern region of the Central Domain.

The clash had dragged on for an indefinite span, with heavenly arts illuminating the heavens above.

Soon enough, these radiant displays abruptly faded away.

Fei Bing and his two companions abruptly held two additional prisoners, who turned out to be the leaders of the Earth Gold Realm and Vine Wood Realm forces, Jin Duanshan and Mu Zhutian.

Right then, the pair stared at Brahma Heaven with looks of utter defeat, their eyes brimming with bitterness.

Unlike Ning Qi, they couldn't accurately sense Brahma Heaven's true circumstances.

The details Brahma Heaven had relayed to them earlier omitted the fact that all three Vast Realm armies were on site.

To lure them into a rescue, Brahma Heaven had intentionally downplayed the enemy numbers, claiming only about two armies opposed him and that their power was rather feeble.

Consequently, Jin Duanshan and Mu Zhutian took the bait, finding themselves trapped without escape upon arrival.

Still, as leaders of the merged forces from two realms, they fought fiercely in their dire straits, managing to eliminate over one domain's worth from the Vast Realm's three armies.

At present, fewer than two full realm armies of Vast Realm cultivators were left.

Fei Bing's brow creased as he remarked, “Though Ning Qi hasn't shown up, our forces already can't compete with the enemy. The Realm Venerable noted that just a fraction of Ning Qi's three armies was destroyed, and we're clueless about how he escaped the Lower Realm while safeguarding so many.”

They had recently split and battled the Mountain and Sea Realm's cultivators, holding a clear upper hand yet still failing to stop over one realm of their foes from being annihilated, which made it tough to fathom how Ning Qi preserved three entire armies.

Hua Jieyu suggested, “We should hurry and claim the nodes around here to secure the land's favor!”

“Junior Sister Hua has a point!”

With their plan set, they promptly guided the surviving troops to scout the nodes nearby in the northern Central Domain.

Yet after quite some time, updates from the scouts left the trio stunned once more!

“To the commander: I've soared thousands of miles out, but no nodes appear in the north!”

“...None detected in the west!”

“...Nothing in the east!”

Reviewing the intelligence, Qiu Daoyu blurted out first, “This can't be! Searching a thousand miles northeast and westward, zero nodes discovered?”

Fei Bing and Hua Jieyu's faces turned pale with shock!

In theory, the Central Domain stretches endlessly, but a direct flight of a thousand miles ought to reveal at least one node.

Their predicament right now was downright peculiar, leaving them utterly perplexed on what to do.

Truth be told, Ning Qi had used this opportunity to plan ahead and pilfered the Node Pearls from the northern Central Domain's nodes!

Every node inevitably produces Node Pearls that can invoke the will of two realms.

Normally, even typical cultivators who might break these Node Pearls couldn't pull them from their nodes, not even a Domain Master!

However, with his power now vastly improved, Ning Qi served as a Realm Lord himself. His deeper grasp of the war realm, after slicing through numerous voids, had made him quite attuned to the war realm's framework.

Therefore, Ning Qi could now discreetly extract the Node Pearls from each node, pioneering an entirely fresh strategy in the war realm.

This put Fei Bing and his group in a real bind!

Heeding the Vast Realm's will, they aimed to capture the nodes, fully invoking the Vast Realm's will to reshape the zone into a territory dominated by the Vast Realm's influence.

But where had the Node Pearls gone?

The three were practically dumbfounded!

Lacking the Node Pearls, the node sites were impossible to locate.

“Buzz!”

All of a sudden, the Vast Realm's energy nearby appeared to converge on something.

Vaguely, a tremendous power seemed to transmit from the Vast Realm, resonating with the emptiness and forming a dazzling spatial passage.

Fei Bing and the others finally revealed a trace of relief; the backup from the Saint Ancestor had come!

Inside the spatial passage, myriads of stars twinkled.

Abruptly, twenty silhouettes appeared, landing next to Fei Bing and his companions.

Every one of the twenty bore a shade of ashen pallor, like they'd lost a great deal of blood.

Still, their presence forced Fei Bing and the rest, hovering in the air, to crash down to the earth at once.

The imprisoned Brahma Heaven group displayed fear in their gazes.

“Insanity! The Vast Realm actually sent so many Unity Realm experts early, and to enter the war realm, they've all severed their own cultivation, falling to the edge! All this just to counter Ning Qi?”

Twenty Unity Realm titans had traversed the void from the Vast Realm.

The foremost was exceptionally lofty and commanding, towering like a tower, exuding a daunting aura even without fury.

The nineteen trailing him fixed their eyes on his form, displaying a subtle air of respect.

“After the Realm Venerable sent the report, barely half a two-hour mark has elapsed, and you've claimed not even one node?”

The chief spoke icily, his voice laced with endless killing intent.

This slaughterous vibe hit Fei Bing and the trio hard, prickling their skin with endless chills.

Fei Bing hastily bowed and explained, “Lord Blood, pardon us—we've only just wrapped up the fight with the Mountain and Sea Realm's cultivators.”

The figure called Lord Blood went by Blood Slaughter Enemy, a direct apprentice of the Saint Ancestor, supremely skilled in the way of killing.

Even Fei Bing and his allies hadn't foreseen the Saint Ancestor dispatching him!

“What came of the fight?”

Hearing Fei Bing bring up the conflict, Blood Slaughter Enemy's demeanor eased somewhat, prompting him to inquire more.

Fei Bing answered, “Our three armies combined and fortunately wiped out the enemy three-domain force!”

Blood Slaughter Enemy's crimson eyes scanned the leftover Vast Realm cultivators, seeing fewer than two realm armies intact, which caused his forehead to wrinkle faintly.

“Holding the edge, and you still suffered such heavy losses in numbers?”

Fei Bing and the rest bowed their heads deeper!

“Never mind, I'm not here to blame you.” Blood Slaughter Enemy's sight shifted to the Brahma Heaven trio nearby from Fei Bing, “Who might these three be?”

“To Lord Blood: They command the Mountain and Sea Realm's three-domain army and were taken alive by us.”

“Hmph!”

Blood Slaughter Enemy let out a low hum before abruptly lifting his hand toward the Brahma Heaven group.

In that instant, a powerful pull seized the three, hauling them closer.

This force felt utterly odd, bypassing spiritual energy or rule power, instead controlling the blood flowing in their veins.

Thinking back to Blood Slaughter Enemy's infamous tales, Fei Bing and his fellows grew ashen-faced.

Blood Slaughter Enemy's right grip had already seized Jin Duanshan's neck.

Though Jin Duanshan stood massive, in Blood Slaughter Enemy's grasp, he seemed as helpless as a fledgling, utterly outmatched.

“Being leaders of the Mountain and Sea Realm, I ought to glean abundant details from them!”

As he uttered this, without any obvious motion from his hold, Jin Duanshan's frame started issuing hoarse noises, his blood and vitality swiftly siphoned off, morphing him into a withered husk in moments!

Beyond that, a scarlet soul was yanked from the remains, blended with the earlier drawn lifeblood clump, and gulped down by Blood Slaughter Enemy in a single swallow.

Gulp, gulp!

Beholding this sight, all onlookers felt terror-struck, though no one uttered a word.

Mu Zhutian’s limbs shook violently, a wet patch forming as he lost control below.

Brahma Heaven quivered like chaff in the wind.

After devouring the new blood, a faint red tinged Blood Slaughter Enemy's cheeks, his look one of clear enjoyment.

“This fellow was the sole heir of Mountain and Sea Realm's Earth Gold realm's Unity Domain lord Jin Guanghua, eh? He doesn't seem to know much about Ning Qi's affairs...”
