I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2304 - 1048: The Third Saint of the Immortal Gate Emerges (Part 3)

As the black sun descended, the rhythmic brilliance of the Sea of Knowledge within the Purple Mansion began to fade. A pitch-black abyss consumed the light, as if an eternal night had arrived to devour both heaven and earth.

A piercing chime from a bell rang out with unprecedented force. To the Ascension Leader, this sound represented nothing more than Chen Mobai’s desperate final struggle.

The Morning Bell shifted into a radiant golden sun, plunging beneath the dark orb created by the God Seed. In an attempt to reignite the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, it smashed into the black sun.

At that precise moment, Chen Mobai sensed a tiny fracture appearing in the bottleneck of his Sea of Knowledge, which had remained stagnant for far too long.

He caught a glimpse of the path leading toward a Divine Sense breakthrough into the Spirit Transformation Stage.

“It is futile. Your struggles only serve to propel my advancement. Still, I should thank you if you truly insist on this,” the Ascension Leader’s voice echoed from the depths of the black sun.

Suddenly, the golden radiance of the Morning Bell began to flicker and dim.

“What?”

Chen Mobai watched the scene unfold with a sense of shock.

He felt an invisible, regulatory power emanating from the black sun, which began to wrap around and replace his own Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.

It felt as though his very mind was no longer under his control.

“This is the Spirit Realm Technique I created by combining the Law Domain Method of the Six Imperial Scripture with the Devour God Technique. Inside my Spirit Realm, I am the one who dictates all rules. These laws can infiltrate your Sea of Knowledge through the God Seed; therefore, even if you were at the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul stage today, there would be no escape. You should simply accept your fate and become my nourishment,” the Ascension Leader declared.

As the Ascension Leader laughed triumphantly, the regulatory force pouring from the black sun grew even more immense. Deprived of its geographical advantage, the Morning Bell let out a mournful cry and plummeted from the sky, unable to resist any longer.

By now, the black sun had seized the entire sky and was on the verge of consuming the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree—the manifestation of all divine sense on the ground.

Its primary target was the Five-colored Phoenix perched upon the branches.

Once that happened, everything belonging to Chen Mobai would be claimed by the Ascension Leader.

With a roar of laughter, the massive black sun crashed down upon the high crown of the Azure Jadeite Sycamore Tree. Chen Mobai’s Divine Sense, taking the form of the Five-colored Phoenix, appeared to panic. It flapped its wings and fled from the canopy toward the trunk, seemingly desperate to avoid being devoured.

Even now, the Ascension Leader remained wary.

A thousand years of life and experience had taught him the necessity of remaining composed at the very brink of success.

Chen Mobai felt the Ascension Leader’s entire consciousness lock onto him, causing the wings of the Five-colored Phoenix to freeze and move with heavy sluggishness.

In the meantime, the black sun had already buried the tree’s crown. The Five-colored Fruits hanging there were pulled into the void channel of the God Seed, flowing directly into the Ascension Leader’s own Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.

“Wait, what is this?”

The moment he consumed the first Dao Fruit, the Ascension Leader realized something was wrong. However, it was far too late to expel it.

Upon entering a foreign Sea of Knowledge without the specific refinement method from the Yi Yuan Dao Palace, the Metal Attribute Dao Fruit instantly detonated. It released a Great Dao power that far exceeded the Spirit Transformation level.

“Ahhh!”

The black sun, which had been rampaging through Chen Mobai’s Sea of Knowledge without opposition, suddenly let out a horrific shriek.

The Ascension Leader’s esteemed Spirit Realm Technique was riddled with countless tears the moment it absorbed the Metal Attribute Dao Fruit, which even began to rip his own Sea of Knowledge apart.

Chen Mobai, however, showed the heretical leader no mercy, proceeding to feed the water and fire Dao Fruits into the black sun as well.

With his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion suffering such grievous damage, the Ascension Leader lost all control over the God Seed.

Even if he wanted to close the connection with a thought, the massive Divine Sense he had gathered over three lifetimes was already shattering as it tried to suppress the explosive Great Dao force of the Metal Attribute Dao Fruit.

Such an injury would be fatal even for a cultivator at the Spirit Transformation stage.

For the Ascension Leader, it was nothing less than certain death.

Amidst his agonized screams, the fire and water Dao Fruits followed through the void channel, entering the Ascension Leader’s Sea of Knowledge.

Complete chaos ensued.

With a sickening sound, the Ascension Leader—who was currently casting spells on a desolate satellite far beyond the Earth Element Star—collapsed. Blood sprayed from his seven orifices as he fell, devoid of life.

Simultaneously, within Chen Mobai’s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, the gargantuan black hole that once threatened to swallow the world began to tremble violently before spinning in reverse.

A surge of divine sense, so vast and overwhelming that it stunned Chen Mobai, erupted from the black hole like a torrential storm, flooding every corner of his Sea of Knowledge.

Because these divine senses had been filtered through the God Seed, they felt as though Chen Mobai had cultivated them himself, allowing for a perfect, seamless absorption.

As the Ascension Leader’s essence continued to pour in, Chen Mobai’s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion rapidly reached its capacity.

While he began sealing the excess divine sense into new Azure Jadeite Sycamore Trees, he also condensed the energy into raindrops. These drops seeped into the cracks at the edges of his Sea of Knowledge.

The previous conflict with the Ascension Leader had already weakened his bottleneck. Now, the divine sense provided by the God Seed washed over the obstruction like water through dry, cracked earth. The tiny fracture expanded into a massive gap, eventually creating a web of spider-like cracks across the entire boundary of his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.
