I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2312 - 1050: The Emergence of a New Nascent Soul cultivator (Part 3)

Deep within a concealed stronghold, the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor’s brow tightened. His countenance shifted violently as blood began to seep from his seven orifices.

"This is bad!"

Realizing that the avatar he had stationed at the Ascension Sect’s primary headquarters had been utterly snuffed out, a wave of unprecedented terror surged through his heart.

To be erased so instantaneously, only a Divinity Transformation cultivator could be responsible.

It appeared that the Ascension Sect Hierarch’s attempt to use the Devour God Technique on Chen Mobai had been discovered, incensing the two Divinity Transformations of the Immortal Gate.

Whether the attacker was Qi Yuheng or Narcissus did not matter.

Neither was an opponent the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor could hope to withstand.

Making a split-second decision, he seized the most vital treasures of the secret base and fled toward Lin Daoming’s position.

...

High above the planet.

Dragon breath descended from the heavens like a barrage of meteors, striking the surface and blooming into massive mushroom clouds. The Ascension Sect’s hidden headquarters—along with its foundations, defensive arrays, and dark secrets—were all incinerated by the purifying flames.

Chen Mobai was well aware, however, that while the Ascension Sect cultists lacked raw power, they were masters of evasion.

To ensure no one escaped, he unleashed his divine sense to command his sword, invoking the Primordial Yang Sword Secret.

With his current level of Cultivation, he had already mastered this sword technique to its absolute peak. The Yuan Yang Sword, the most powerful blade of the Primordial Yang Set, hovered above him before turning into a golden streak of light. It plummeted downward, piercing through the planetary crust. Following his command, a flame dragon breathing celestial fire dived into the fissure, charging directly into the planet's core.

Boom!

A magnificent display of cosmic fireworks erupted in the starry void.

Through Chen Mobai’s heaven-defying power, the Ascension Sect’s main base, cultivated over thousands of years, was ground into celestial dust.

In that moment, Chen Mobai sensed a significant leap in the progress of his Nine Virtues Introspection.

He watched the explosive remnants of the planet fade into nothingness, nodded in approval, and set off toward the next hidden location he had extracted from the Ascension Sect Hierarch’s memories.

This site was a starspace battleship, a relic of war that had been stranded by external damage.

It served as another of the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor’s clandestine experimental facilities.

Inside were various instruments plundered from the Immortal Gate and a vast array of research materials.

Upon his arrival, Chen Mobai found that the most vital personnel and assets had already vanished. From the abandoned cultists left behind to perish, he discovered that at the exact moment he destroyed the main planet, the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor had suddenly coughed up blood. With a panicked expression, the Ancestor had hurriedly packed his belongings and fled.

Chen Mobai thought back to the Nascent Soul cultivator he had effortlessly slain at the main camp—a figure that had seemed strangely devoid of human vitality.

It was almost certainly a puppet body belonging to the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor.

"You were lucky this time."

With a flick of his sleeve, Chen Mobai captured all the remaining Ascension Sect cultivators.

These people were specialists who had aided the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor’s research. Given their ability to smuggle so much gear from the Immortal Gate, there was bound to be internal treachery involved.

Taking them back would facilitate the Immortal Gate’s internal cleansing before the war commenced.

Once the prisoners were dealt with, Chen Mobai surveyed the starspace battleship that had been repurposed into a lab. Thinking of the Five Elements Sect’s inability to produce high-quality war artifacts in the Eastern Wilderness, a thought occurred to him. He expanded his domain and pulled the entire vessel inside.

He then proceeded to clear out the remaining Ascension Sect outposts.

However, the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor had clearly sounded the alarm. By the time he arrived, only insignificant pawns remained; he promptly turned the sites and those within to ash. Recalling that the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Dance Tool Dao Academy and the Three Great Halls were awaiting his lecture, Chen Mobai teleported away.

After his departure, Lin Daoming arrived with the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor and the Divine Control Pavilion Master to survey the ruins of the main camp.

"Where did the planet go?"

The Divine Control Pavilion Master stared in disbelief at the void where the headquarters once stood, while the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor gasped beside him, trembling with shock.

"A Divinity Transformation took action and wiped the planet from existence."

Lin Daoming felt the lingering resonance of the Fire Great Dao in the vacuum, his face darkening with concern.

"Was it the old Dual Sages of the Immortal Gate, or the new pair?"

The Dragon and Tiger Ancestor fought to suppress his panic; a few moments' delay in his retreat would have meant his certain death.

The Divine Control Pavilion Master shared his dread. His own avatars had been stationed at that base. Even though they only possessed Core Formation strength, their connection had been severed instantly.

The God Seeds he had implanted were destroyed, causing a backlash that left his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion throbbing with intense pain.

"It wasn't them!"

Lin Daoming shook his head, his brow furrowed deeply.

Had Qian Xing and Bai Guang still been active within the Immortal Gate, such a feat would be expected.

However, the Fire Great Dao was not the path those two walked.

As the former Head of Immortal Affairs, Lin Daoming was well-acquainted with Qi Yuheng of Kaiyuan Hall and Narcissus of the Hall of Orthodox Law. He knew neither of them followed this specific Great Dao.

Furthermore, without intending to disparage them, it was impossible for Qi Yuheng or Narcissus—who had only achieved Divinity Transformation a few decades ago—to annihilate an entire planet so rapidly.

After processing the facts, Lin Daoming reached a startling conclusion: a new Divinity Transformation powerhouse had emerged within the Immortal Gate.
