Looting
Purple lightning flashed through the void as Ning Qi rapidly approached.
Within an hour, Ning Qi had seen True Person Ziyang and Jiang Ruhai within the limits of his vision Primordial Spirit perception.
Neither of them knew whether they were lucky or unlucky.
Judging from their appearance, it seemed they had just unearthed a large tomb, but were surrounded by people who had rushed over from behind as soon as they stepped out.
There were five people on the other side, and judging from their clothes, they were the guys from the Tianchen Upper Sect.
At this moment, the group was already engaged in battle.
Luo He, the leader of the Tianchen Upper Sect, was the first to make a move.
He extended his palm, which instantly condensed into a giant hand shimmering with starlight, and slapped towards Ziyang and the other person.
Each ray of starlight emitted from it would sprout a sharp claw from the giant hand.
From a distance, it looked extremely eerie, like a giant celestial beast about to devour the two of them.
The other four showed no regard for martial ethics and attacked simultaneously, determined to kill Elder Ziyang and his companion instantly.
The four people's Law Power connected, and instantly, a giant star rose from above their heads, as if pulled down from the sky, shimmering with an eerie dark red light.
This is a phantom of Mars; they have joined forces and borrowed the power of Mars.
Both the crashing object and the light emanating from it gave off an ominous feeling, as if they would destroy everything!
A great star descended, and a giant celestial hand, the moment it appeared, suppressed the entire void where everyone was.
A resolute look flashed across the faces of both True Person Ziyang and Jiang Ruhai.
True Person Ziyang unleashed several rapid sword strikes in succession, each Sword Qi soaring into the sky like purple clouds, within which a purple divine chain of rules manifested.
Eleven purple chains of divine rules blocked the space above the two, holding back the giant hand of starlight that was attacking them.
The downward momentum of the giant star hand suddenly froze, and the point where it intersected with the purple divine chains of rules even seemed to be sliced open.
Luo He let out a soft exclamation, "I didn't expect the people of the Boundless Sword Sect to possess such Law Power. I underestimated them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, ten chains of divine rules suddenly appeared within the giant hand of stars.
However, unlike the one displayed by True Person Ziyang, the star-shaped divine chains that Luohe revealed were faintly arrayed, and were not as simple as one plus one. They seemed to be more powerful because of the array!
As expected, the giant hand of stars pressed down again, rapidly descending another ten feet, until it was only five feet above their heads!
True Person Ziyang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, seemingly indicating that he was seriously injured.
However, the blood he spat out turned into a blood mist and merged into the divine chains of rules he released.
All the chains of divine rules suddenly shone brightly, instantly lifting the giant stellar hand upwards by two feet.
However, this was only a temporary measure. The phantom of Mars was still falling from above, and he could only hold on until it landed.
Jiang Ruhai, a powerful figure in the Jiang family, finally made his move.
Two damaged mid-grade spirit swords appeared in front of him, seemingly a pair. As soon as they were taken out, a chilling aura emanated from them.
Jiang Ruhai gripped the sword hilt with both hands, seemingly condensing all his Law Power, Primordial Spirit, and rules into it.
The Heavenly Chen Sect is currently surrounding and attacking them. If they don't fight desperately now, they might not have another chance!
Suddenly, he slammed his hands together, and to everyone's surprise, the two swords merged completely together without changing in size. However, the new spiritual sword actually surpassed the quality of a complete mid-grade spiritual treasure.
Jiang Ruhai gripped the sword hilt with both hands, aiming straight for the sky.
Although he had just made his move, a trace of blood had already seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Rumble!
An iceberg suddenly rose from the ground, seemingly both real and unreal, towering majestically in the blink of an eye.
It reflects countless rays of light, and even the earth's surface is constantly filled with Spiritual Qi.
The giant star hand supported by True Person Ziyang was instantly thrown four zhang high, but it was not able to be broken through or destroyed. Instead, it stopped.
Because the illusory image of Yinghuo, created by the combined efforts of the four members of the Upper Heavenly Chen Sect, finally fell.
While icebergs may appear majestic, the illusory image of Mars is less imposing, only conveying a sense of immense weight that slowly presses down.
The illusory image of Mars and the giant star hand of the Luo River joined together, and the two combined to shatter the iceberg, scattering layers of ice shards into the void, shimmering with various colors.
The Ziyang River below flowed into the sea, and they coughed up blood one after another. Their suspended figures were also smashed down by a foot in an instant, and they were already close to the surface of the secret realm.
The two men looked up and glared angrily, but showed no sign of yielding. They were members of the Sword Sect, and would rather break than bend!
However, faced with the combined might of five powerful figures from the top-tier Tianchen Sect, even with their refusal to submit, they could only be constantly suppressed by their attacks.
Gradually, the two stepped onto the ground, and then their legs dug into the ground like nails.
It didn't go past the ankles, past the knees, or past the thighs!
The two struggled to hold on, their eyes fixed on the giant star hand and the phantom of Mars that were almost touching their heads. They were on the verge of despair.
Fortunately, Ning Qi arrived!
In an instant, the thirty-six chains of divine rules silently pierced through the void.
The twelve lightning-inspired divine chains intertwined to form a purple divine spear composed entirely of these chains, instantly lifting a powerful figure from behind the Heavenly Chen Sect.
The other person didn't even have time to utter a sound before dying on the spot.
The pressure on True Person Ziyang Jiang Ruhai instantly decreased by one-fifth.
The remaining four powerful figures of the Tianchen Upper Sect, while maintaining their attacks, turned around in shock.
When they saw Ning Qi arrive, everyone's expressions froze for a moment, then a look of realization seemed to flash in their eyes, clearly indicating that they recognized Ning Qi.
But in that split second they reacted, Ning Qi had already killed three of them again.
The twelve flames instantly pierced through a person, who immediately burst into flames, unleashing a terrifying, inextinguishable flame that reduced him to ashes in the blink of an eye.
The other twelve chains of divine rules, resembling flowing water, combined to form a high-pressure water jet, directly cleaving another powerful being in two.
The remaining twelve sword rules were divided into three streams, which pierced the brow, heart, and Dantian of a powerful being respectively. With a single slash, they were instantly reduced to dust.
Of the five members of the Tianchen Upper Sect, only Luo He, the leader, remained in an instant.
He stared in disbelief, managing only two words, "You are..."
However, the four sets of divine chains of rules attacked from all sides, and Luohe followed suit to meet the King of Hell.
The giant star-shaped hand and the illusory image of Mars that had been pressing down on True Person Ziyang and Jiang Ruhai finally dissipated.
The two men's lower bodies were completely submerged in the soil. They were temporarily unable to pull themselves out, panting heavily, their faces a mixture of blood and sweat, looking quite disheveled.
However, their luck in escaping death immediately made the two of them look at the newcomer.
They had been focused on dealing with the attack from above and had no idea who the attackers were.
Their gazes fell on Ning Qi, and they both froze on the spot.
"Ning... Ning Qi boy?"
True Person Ziyang was even more astonished than if he had met the King of Hell himself.
Jiang Ruhai was the same; he even rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
A day earlier, Ning Qi led his True Disciple to escape from this place.
How could it be that he's back now, and even helped those two powerful figures from their sects instantly kill five powerful figures from the Heavenly Chen Upper Sect?
Ning Qi teleported to the two elders' side, his Law Power surging, instantly pulling them out of the mud. At the same time, he released a layer of water light, washing away their disheveled appearance.
The Supreme Elder Ziyang still couldn't believe that Ning Qi had truly arrived. He bowed and said:
"Thank you for saving my life, senior. But I wonder why you disguised yourself as Ning Qi, a True Disciple of my sect?"
Jiang Ruhai also bowed.
There was no other way; rather than believing that Ning Qi had arrived, they rationally thought that a mysterious powerful figure had come, but disguised himself as Ning Qi.
Right, the mysterious expert—the two couldn't help but think of the one Ning Qi had mentioned on their way to the Xuanzhen Secret Realm.
"There's no need for such a grand ceremony, elders. Do you really not recognize me?" Ning Qi said calmly.
Upon hearing Ning Qi's voice, the two finally looked up and scrutinized him carefully once more.
True Person Ziyang, still filled with doubt, asked, "Young Ning Qi, is it really you?"
Although Jiang Ruhai did not speak, his behavior was exactly the same as that of True Person Ziyang: he showed doubt, but it vanished in an instant, as if he dared not show it.
After all, the person before them was a powerful expert who had instantly annihilated five top-tier sect masters. What if this person enjoyed playing this game of impersonating others?
"Elder Ziyang, I have spent a day and entered the Void Dao Realm."
The two sensed the fluctuations of Law Power emanating from Ning Qi.
Goodness, this mysterious powerhouse has gotten addicted to role-playing, hasn't he?
Ning Qi is indeed a terrifyingly talented young man; even if he breaks through to the Void Dao Realm, the two of them would still believe in him.
However, the fluctuations emanating from the mysterious powerhouse before them were clearly those of someone in the late stage of the Void Dao Realm. Moreover, the power of rules he displayed when he killed the five great beings earlier consisted of four different types!
Even if Ning Qi is a prodigy, he couldn't possibly be this prodigy!
The two exchanged a glance, seemingly seeing the same thought in each other's eyes.
Ning Qi smiled helplessly.
Since the two still didn't believe him, there was nothing he could do.
He said, "Elders, time is precious. Since you are both seriously injured, you should rejoin your fellow disciples. I still have things to do."
After saying that, Ning Qi transmitted a spatial coordinate to the two people's minds, along with a vivid image.
In the scene, a vast lake with clear blue waters is visible, and Jiang Qingxue and eight others are cultivating beside it.
After doing all this, Ning Qi gathered the belongings of Luo He and the other five, transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, and vanished from the spot in an instant.
A gust of wind blew by, ruffling the hair of True Person Ziyang, Jiang Ruhai.
The two stared blankly in the direction Ning Qi had disappeared, and it took them a long, long time to come back to their senses.
Jiang Ruhai asked, "Elder Ziyang, do you think he is the mysterious expert Ning Qi mentioned?"
"Irishima, is that what you think too?"
"Of course, if it really is him, then it explains what happened when we arrived."
Jiang Ruhai stubbornly said, "But we don't know who he is, and what should we do now?"
True Person Ziyang pondered for a moment before saying, "I think we should go and meet the True Disciple of our sect first, since that mysterious expert has reserved seats for them anyway."
"Okay, this way we can confirm it."
So the two of them left the place.
Ning Qi changed his appearance and clothing as he flew.
He had previously revealed his original form to save Elder Ziyang and Elder Ziyang, intending to persuade them to leave.
After that, he could no longer use his current identity.
Although his reincarnated body is now invincible at the Void Dao Realm, revealing his identity would be tantamount to exposing his trump card in advance, attracting the attention of his enemies.
If he incurs the wrath of all sects and is targeted by them, or even threatens the Wuji Sword Sect, then he'll be in trouble.
No matter how powerful he is, he can't protect everyone right now.
In an instant, Ning Qi changed from wearing white to purple, and his appearance also changed to that of a completely unfamiliar middle-aged man, with a more weathered look.
At the same time, he even secretly used Secret Method to shield himself from the consequences of his actions, so that no one skilled in divination could figure out everything about him.
To calculate his existence, one must possess a cultivation level exceeding his. This level of cultivation is not limited to his reincarnation, but rather surpasses that of the Realm Lord himself!
Hmph, as of now, unless there is Dao Integration Realm ancestor skilled in divination, but there is no such existence in the North and South Regions for the time being.
Subsequently, Ning Qi did not directly excavate the numerous tombs within the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, as that would be far too slow.
He set his sights directly on all the powerful figures in the Xuanzhen Secret Realm!
More than a day has passed since the powerful beings entered the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, and many people must have discovered a lot of good things.
Within Ning Qi's perception range, not far ahead, three powerful figures from a superior sect had just emerged after completely deciphering a large tomb.
The purple lightning pierced through the void, and in a short while, Ning Qi appeared in front of the three of them.
The three powerful figures looked at the suddenly appearing middle-aged man in purple robes. Seeing his imposing presence and the fact that he seemed to merge with the world, their hearts skipped a beat.
One of them said, "What is the meaning of your blocking the three of us?"
Ning Qi coldly said, "Hand over what you've obtained!"
The expressions on their faces changed instantly. The man who had spoken earlier angrily said, "So many great tombs have appeared in the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, and you intend to steal them?"
Ning Qi didn't waste any words with the group.
His eyes opened and closed, instantly unleashing three beams of power from the rules—one purple, one red, and one blue—which struck the group like lightning.
None of them expected Ning Qi to make a sudden move, and they were even more surprised that Ning Qi's application of the rules was so terrifying, able to unleash them in the blink of an eye!
Even more terrifying, the opponent possessed three different types of rule-based power!
Caught off guard, the three were sent flying like spinning tops.
The chains of rules emanating from the three individuals had just begun to emerge and had not yet had a chance to attack Ning Qi Ning Qi had already used the chains of rules to bind them.
A divine power was released from the chains of rules, as large as a mountain, instantly suppressing the three of them!
The three people were suspended in the air, all of them looking terrified.
Why were they so easily suppressed when they were both at the late stage of the Void Dao Realm?
"Hand over your spoils, or die!"
A chilling voice reached their ears, and the three of them seemed to be frozen from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, even their Law Power and Primordial Spirit were frozen.
"We are willing to hand it over!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi granted the three of them some freedom to move around.
The three were dejected. They took out their storage rings or Storage Bag and handed them to Ning Qi, not daring to play any tricks.
If you lose something, you can always find it in other large tombs, but if you lose your life, you lose everything!
Ning Qi stored all of the three men's loot into his storage space, leaving them only their weapons and some other things he didn't care about.
Without saying much to the others, his figure vanished into purple smoke.
In the following days, Ning Qi continued to sweep through the Xuanzhen Secret Realm.
They robbed more than fifty Void Dao Realm experts!
He was also extremely surprised, not expecting that the removal of the restrictions on the Xuanzhen Secret Realm would attract so many powerful beings at the Void Dao Realm to enter.
Previously, there weren't nearly as many True Disciple this group.
That's good, though. The more powerful people there are, the more people will temporarily hold onto their resources for them!
In the few days since his appearance, news has spread throughout the Xuanzhen Secret Realm and among the powerful beings.
A mysterious powerful figure plundered numerous powerful beings, and the wealth he obtained was the greatest in the Xuanzhen Secret Realm.
Because he wore purple and acted domineeringly, the powerful gave him a nickname – the Purple-Clad Thief Marquis.
Ning Qi only learned of this nickname after robbing two more powerful figures, and he was quite speechless.
However, since he is upright and honest, and broad-minded, a little bit of stigma is nothing to him; let them be.
Another half day passed.
A golden tomb ahead suddenly shattered, and five figures flew out from it.
Ning Qi glanced at them and immediately recognized them as the powerful figures from the Northern Profound Sect, led by Wang Zhanqiu.
We finally ran into a few people, so we can settle our scores before coming to the Xuanzhen Secret Realm!
Even if they plan to join forces with the Ye Household to eliminate Ning Qi, or even if they plan to target the Wuji Sword Sect, they will inevitably clash with Ning Qi sooner or later.
Ning Qi's mind raced; he wasn't going to let the group go.
The group saw a middle-aged man in purple blocking their way.
Wang Zhanqiu suddenly asked, "Are you the Purple-Clad Bandit Marquis who has been the talk of the town in the Xuanzhen Secret Realm these past few days?"
"So what if it is?"
Wang Zhanqiu glanced at the other four, and they all burst into laughter.
"Very well, very well! We heard you stole quite a few treasures from powerful figures in the upper sects. We were just about to look for you, but you've delivered yourself right to our doorstep. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it fall into our laps without any effort!"
"Yes, Elder Wang, we'll use the strategy we've already discussed to surround and kill this person!"
Apart from Wang Zhanqiu, the four figures scattered, and for a moment, Ning Qi's vision blurred, as if several afterimages appeared.
Once it became clear, the five people had formed a pentagonal formation, surrounding him in the center.
"It's one thing for you to plunder other powerful figures, but you dare to plunder our Northern Profound Upper Sect? Haven't you heard of what our Northern Profound Upper Sect excels at? You'll die without even knowing how you died."
"Don't say that. If he hadn't come to take it from us, how could we have gotten that first prize?"
"Yeah, guys, how about we give him a good death?" one of them asked, seemingly showing a hint of kindness.
Wang Zhanqiu nodded slightly. "In that case, after we capture him, we'll use the Primordial Spirit to sever his limbs and offer them as a sacrifice to the heavens."
Elder Wang is truly kind-hearted!
The group responded with laughter, their expressions suggesting they had Ning Qi completely under their control.
Ning Qi looked somewhat surprised.
When he returned to the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, he only wiped out a few people from the Tianchen Upper Sect. The powerful figures he encountered afterward were all robbed but not killed. Did they think he was weak?
Or is it that their Northern Profound Sect truly possesses unique strengths in the Void Dao Realm? Or are these guys simply arrogant because they come from the number one sect in the Northern Profound Region?
Ning Qi unleashed his full magical Law Power, and instantly, a blue light curtain descended above his head.
In the line of sight of Wang Zhanqiu and the other four, they saw a blue star suspended above Ning Qi's head, with a blue light screen hanging down as a defense against the five of them.
"This person's spellcasting speed is extremely fast."
"Judging from his use of star-manipulation techniques, could he be a member of the Heavenly Star Sect?"
Various thoughts arose in their minds.
They didn't wait for Ning Qi to be fully prepared; the five of them, in their current positions, began to rotate around Ning Qi.
They did not simply rotate horizontally, but rather rotated 360 degrees around Ning Qi as the center.
The five people created hundreds or even thousands of afterimages. In Ning Qi's eyes, neither his visual perception nor his Primordial Spirit perception could see through the hundreds or thousands of afterimages.
Instead, I felt extremely tired, as if I were being hypnotized.
Ning Qi shook his head, his Dao heart unwavering, and only then did the many illusions before him fade away.
No wonder the powerful figures of the Northern Profound Sect are so confident; it turns out they possess the art of bewitching the Primordial Spirit.
If the five of them were to use their combined power, they could likely cause even a powerful figure in the early stages of the Integration Realm to lose their focus for a short time.
At the same time, endless Primordial Spirit slashing blades came from all directions.
Each blade gleamed with an eerie light, and the blade and its gleam could only be perceived by the Primordial Spirit, invisible to the naked eye.
This move is truly insidious. First, it confuses the opponent's senses, and then it uses the Infinite Primordial Spirit Slash to cleave and kill the opponent's Primordial Spirit.
Ning Qi couldn't help but recall the scene of his battle with Chu Xiaotian. The Northern Profound Sect was skilled in cultivating the Primordial Spirit, so the foundation they laid for those in the Void Dao Realm was extremely solid.
No wonder everyone is so confident!
Unfortunately, they encountered Ning Qi.
The endless Primordial Spirit slashing at the water-colored light curtain hanging down from the blue star was like a mud ox entering the sea; it could stir up waves, but in the end, it could only be completely extinguished.
Upon seeing this, the five people were no longer calm.
"Elder Wang, something seems amiss."
Wang Zhanqiu naturally noticed Ning Qi's condition as well, and he said, "Change your Primordial Spirit to wield the Divine Blade of Rules!"
"Yes!"
In an instant, the five people's Primordial Spirit seemed to leave their bodies, and the entire void seemed to fall into chaos, appearing like frosted glass from a distance.
Chains of divine rules were born in the void, combining to form knives, swords, needles, spears, or arrows!
Among them, one of the most imposing blades was enormous, existing between reality and illusion, resembling the formation of smoke and clouds.
Boom!
As all the attacks landed, the blue star above Ning Qi's head seemed to shatter instantly.
Wang Zhanqiu and his four companions were overjoyed!
Just as all the attacks were about to land on Ning Qi, a purple star suddenly appeared above Ning Qi's head again.
From small to large, it all happens in an instant.
Various colors of lightning suddenly shot out from it, forming divine chains of lightning rules, some long and some short, sweeping across the entire void.
Sizzle!
Endless thunderclouds gathered towards this place.
The five people's Primordial Spirit let out an extremely shrill scream.
While the rules of the Primordial Spirit are extremely effective at damaging or destroying the Primordial Spirit, the rules of thunder are also remarkably effective against Primordial Spirit.
In the past, it was rumored that cultivators of all generations defied the heavens in their cultivation, and each time they had to undergo tribulations, each time having to endure various kinds of Tribulation Lightning.
Tribulation Lightning can refine the Primordial Spirit, or it can destroy it, with destruction accounting for more than 90%.
Therefore, when the five people's Primordial Spirit, which were harnessing the chains of divine rules, were swept by the thunderous rules, it was as if they had been stripped naked and whipped with oil, salt, chili, and other spices.
The blows tore the skin and flesh, ripped the Primordial Spirit apart, and left a burning, numb pain!
The five people screamed in agony, and some even considered fleeing when they sensed the danger.
However, another star appeared above Ning Qi's head, as large as Mars, its dark red light illuminating the void, and an ominous aura enveloped the five people's Primordial Spirit.
The five felt as if they had been cursed for eight lifetimes, their Primordial Spirit and bodies plummeting downwards!
Several chains of divine rules coalesced into a blade, which was silently unleashed.
The void shattered, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi and rules were all destroyed, revealing a huge, dark slash mark.
Four powerful beings were instantly annihilated, their Primordial Spirit and physical bodies destroyed.
As for Wang Zhanqiu, half of his Primordial Spirit was shattered, and his physical body was also annihilated.
He screamed, "How dare your Tianchen Upper Sect commit such an act of annihilation! Our Beixuan Upper Sect will never let you get away with this!"
Wang Zhanqiu's remaining half of his primordial Primordial Spirit suddenly severed a piece, seemingly connecting with heaven and earth, and condensed into an extremely special communication shadow that pierced through tens of thousands of miles of void before disappearing.
As for the remaining Primordial Spirit, it gradually dissipated.
Ning Qi reached out a large hand and barely managed to salvage a tiny bit of the situation.
Want to die? That won't do. You have to leave a trace of yourself so that when you return to your sect, you can testify that the Ye Household colluded with the Northern Profound Sect to harm him.
