Guard Yin-Yang
As far as the will of the Vast Realm is concerned, as long as it has not completely occupied this territory, it cannot suppress the enemy forces here.
At most, it can only rely on that celestial star in the sky to reduce the suppressed strength of the cultivators in this vast realm, and in turn, suppress the strength of the opposing army.
With this shift in power, cultivators of equal cultivation levels in both realms will be 60% stronger than those in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Of course, this strength is based solely on cultivation level.
If the opponent's cultivation Cultivation Method is stronger, or if they are a genius, or even capable of fighting beyond their level, then the suppressive power of the Vast Realm's will cannot completely suppress their strength!
The attack from the Xuanzhen Domain army was like a meteor shower, engulfing the cultivators of the White Crane Immortal Sect.
Neither Su Haoran nor Wu Feiyu expected that despite their extreme caution and the presence of celestial stars suppressing them from above, the enemy had managed to infiltrate within ten thousand meters of them, yet they had failed to detect their presence.
This indicates that the enemy army possesses an extremely formidable concealment Formation!
What made them even more desperate was that their opponents were stronger than them in both numbers and overall strength.
Even with the suppression of the will of the Vast Realm!
Upon seeing the army, they couldn't help but feel the urge to curse again.
Didn't the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion of the Vast Immortal Sect say they encountered cultivators from the spiritual realm at the very end of the Mountain and Sea Realm?
The enemy force before us doesn't look like it's coming to an end.
Both in terms of lineup and strength, they are clearly stronger than the sects in the middle spirit domains of their Vast Realm.
Su Haoran and Wu Feiyu even felt that the strength of the opposing side was completely comparable to some slightly weaker upper-level spirit realms.
Given the current situation where no one at the Dao Integration Realm is appearing, many cultivators in the opposing army are of comparable quality to those from sects ranked at the bottom of the upper-tier spiritual realms.
They now even suspect that the Haoran Immortal Sect may have made a mistake in its calculations.
They didn't encounter cultivators from the lower realms of the spirit realm, but rather cultivators from the upper realms of the Mountain and Sea Realm!
In short, the two finally understood why the other two teams from the White Crane Immortal Sect were wiped out before they could even send back a message.
Faced with such a massive army, even with their two teams combined and aided by the will of the Vast Realm, they had no chance of victory.
Moreover, the Xuanzhen Domain army has no sense of martial ethics whatsoever; they always resort to sneak attacks!
Su Haoran and Wu Feiyu were filled with despair.
The cultivators under their command are now facing a dilemma.
On one hand, it continues to help the will of the Vast Realm activate the Earth Star to suppress the energy of the Boundary Sea and the Mountain and Sea Boundary, so that this place can be completely dominated by the will of the Vast Realm.
But the enemy's attack has arrived. Should they choose to resist, or continue to power Earth?
But faced with such a massive army, would their resistance be of any use?
In the end, all the cultivators revealed a resolute look in their eyes. The only way was to continue activating the Earth Star and let the will of the Vast Realm descend completely. Even if they died, the other side would not have an easy time.
The cultivators led by Su Haoran were now covered in blood.
They stormed off the group in anger, and no one blamed them at that moment.
Su Haoran originally intended to take down the cultivator who had unleashed the sword strike earlier, but his rear was unstable, especially after seeing Ning Qi, so he turned back to attack.
The fact that Ning Qi could touch the center of the altar filled them all with dread.
After all, the closer one gets to the center, the stronger the energy of the Vast Realm's will becomes, yet the opponent has remained undetected, which is truly terrifying.
Su Haoran led several cultivators, burning their Essence Blood, Spiritual Qi, and rules to activate the Xuanyuan Blood Sword Technique.
Ning Qi was trapped by the will of the Vast Realm, and they were confident they could kill him.
The invincible Xuanyuan Blood Sword technique couldn't even touch Ning Qi. Su Haoran was suspended in mid-air, only able to roar in vain.
Finally, Su Haoran glanced at the Xuanzhen Domain army's approaching attack and quickly transmitted his voice to those who had followed him into battle:
"We've already escaped the great formation and are unleashing the Xuanyuan Blood Sword Technique, so we can't stop now. We might as well help them withstand the attacks and let them complete their final ritual!"
"Yes!"
The cultivators beside him, each exuding a bloody Blood Qi, responded in unison.
Next, Su Haoran led the way, and they quickly formed an offensive formation in the air.
The Blood Qi emanating from everyone spread out, subtly forming a unified whole.
Just then, Su Haoran shouted, "Blood Shadow Divine Crane!"
They all vanished from the void, replaced by an enormous crane.
This crane had no air of immortality whatsoever; instead, it exuded a fierce and malevolent aura, appearing as if it had emerged from a sea of blood the moment it appeared.
Each of its crane feathers shimmered with a bewitching crimson hue, and when it spread its wings, they were like clouds that blotted out the sky.
Faced with the attack from the Xuanzhen Domain army, the crane let out a mournful cry and then flew straight up to meet it.
Its broad wings spread wide, protecting the cultivators of the White Crane Immortal Sect below.
Puff puff puff!
The attack from the Xuanzhen Domain army landed.
Endless attacks, each carrying a different color of light, struck the Blood Crane, producing a series of terrifying slashing sounds.
But the blood crane was also extremely strange; all its feathers glowed, and from a distance, it looked like a blood-red sun.
All the attacks poured onto the crane's body were deflected by its feathers, falling like rain onto the feathers and sliding to the sides!
About half of the attacks were neutralized by the Blood Crane, but it was ultimately just an avatar formed by a few cultivators. It was no easy task for it to completely resist the offensive of the Xuanzhen Domain army.
Above, the mournful cries of cranes echoed continuously.
At first, it was able to rise to the challenge, its massive blood crane body charging upwards a considerable distance.
But then, the Blood Crane continued to descend from the sky, its feathers were peeled away layer by layer, and its massive body was quickly cleaved open by the blows.
Rumble!
In the end, Blood Crane was knocked down from mid-air, and several bodies rolled out from its broken body. In the blink of an eye, they were engulfed by the overwhelming attack and turned into ashes.
The cultivators of the White Crane Immortal Sect below could not escape their fate of annihilation, dying one by one with resentment and bitterness.
Only a dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators at the very center are still alive.
They glanced at each other, their eyes already bloodshot.
Looking again at the crystal jade representing Earth, the pure and impure energies within it finally began to alternate, interacting in a yin-yang manner.
Wu Feiyu transmitted his voice, "Let us use our last strength to complete the ritual. Even if we, the cultivators of the Haoran Realm, die, we will clear the way for the will of the Haoran Realm!"
The other Nascent Soul cultivators nodded; they had reached a consensus.
Blood light began to emanate from everyone's bodies as they channeled their Spiritual Qi, Primordial Spirit rules, and life force into the crystal jade.
Their bodies became ethereal, as if the energy within a Spirit Stone had been drained, leaving only an empty shell.
Within the crystal jade, the energy transformation accelerated rapidly, and the ritual was about to be fully completed.
Upon witnessing this scene, all the Nascent Soul cultivators within the Xuanzhen Domain army showed expressions of anxiety.
They have now annihilated both teams of cultivators from the White Crane Immortal Sect, but if the ritual is completed and the will of the Vast Realm descends, then they cannot be considered to have truly won.
Within the Xuanzhen Domain army, a group of cultivators skilled in speed flew out, attempting to sever the connection between the celestial and terrestrial stars.
Meanwhile, many others launched another attack, using various point-based strikes to target the crystal spirit jade.
As long as the ceremony is not over and Tianxing is not captured, the current war is not over!
As they attacked, the group gazed at the stars in the sky.
The beam of starlight hanging down from the sky was as thick as an arm, with many starlight tentacles branching out from it. From a distance, it looked like a strange, long-haired worm wriggling.
Besides the obvious laser-like beams of starlight, its descending starlight had completely enveloped the Xuanzhen Domain army.
The Xuanzhen Domain army, arrayed in the void, suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that their strength had been suppressed once again.
The small team that had taken off slowed down its advance.
8,000 meters, 5,000 meters, 3,000 meters, 1,000 meters...
When they reached a height of one thousand meters, their flying speed was comparable to that of a martial artist using lightness skills, only advancing by tens of meters at a time.
At the 500-meter mark, their speed was only comparable to that of an ordinary person running.
Only now did they realize how powerful their leader had been, managing to touch the very center of the altar.
Then, the attacks from all the cultivators behind them flew past below and struck the crystal spirit jade.
But everyone clearly felt that their attacks seemed to lose power the closer they got.
Just as the attack was about to hit the crystal spirit jade, a burst of purple light suddenly erupted from the crystal spirit jade, and the light barrier opened up, covering a range of ten meters.
All the attacks landed on it and were completely blocked.
This scene once again made everyone in the Xuanzhen Domain feel a chill in their hearts.
With so many of them, surely they can conquer Earth?
Sword Ancestor flew back, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
If the will of the Vast Realm is allowed to continue, this place will become completely dominated by the will of the Vast Realm.
Therefore, the Sword Ancestor directly thrust his sword forward.
Aside from the Alliance Leader, the cultivators of the Xuanzhen Domain admired Jian Jingjue the most.
After all, he was the best example of a sword cultivator, whose technique of breaking through all laws with a single sword strike was unparalleled in attack.
An invisible Sword-Ray pierced through the void, creating a black hole in the void, as if the sword beam had been wrapped in a Sword-Ray.
The Sword-Ray's edge was sharp, its Sword Intent crisscrossing, and it pierced the spreading purple light barrier without any hindrance.
Click!
A sound like shattering glass was heard, and then the ten-meter-long purple light barrier spreading from the crystal jade shattered. The Xuanzhen Domain army immediately showed hope.
Did the Sword Ancestor succeed?
Only the Sword Ancestor frowned deeply. He was the one who drew the sword, Sword Intent was his own, directly reaching the target.
Therefore, he had an extremely clear understanding of the specifics of this sword strike.
He did not shatter the Earth represented by the crystal jade; he merely shattered the purple light.
Sure enough, the next second, the shattered purple light screen was regenerated under the will of the Vast Realm, and it expanded outward by another five meters.
In the brief moment that it was revealed, everyone saw the situation inside the crystal jade.
The Tai Chi fish formed by its internal energy is almost fully formed.
Without hesitation, the Sword Ancestor continued his attack, unleashing a series of thrusts.
But the purple light that could be shattered with a single sword strike just now now requires two or more strikes to break.
Each time the purple light shatters, the energy transformation within the crystal jade pauses for a moment, but ultimately cannot stop the overall trend of its transformation.
The Sword Ancestor once drew his sword to slash at the celestial star, at that beam of starlight that resembled a laser beam.
The Sword-Ray aimed at the celestial star shattered completely before it even got close.
The Sword-Ray that slashed at the star beam did manage to hit its mark, but its power couldn't even budge the star beam in the slightest.
Thus, he also realized the terrifying nature of the spirit world's will!
Sword Ancestor continued to slash with his sword, while his sword eyes scanned the void.
He was scouting Ning Qi's location; he had also witnessed Ning Qi's earlier appearance and injury.
Therefore, he was worried about Ning Qi's injury on the one hand, and hoped that Ning Qi could solve the current problem on the other.
The Xuanzhen Domain army was already helpless against Earth.
They only had one chance of winning left: for the alliance leader to intervene!
Just as the Sword Ancestor cleaved through the purple light once more, a figure in white finally appeared. He materialized near the purple light barrier, tilting his head slightly.
"Old man with the sword, watch out, don't cut me!"
Upon seeing the alliance leader appear, everyone felt reassured.
Jian Jingjue stopped wielding his sword, his figure flashing through the void, leaving behind afterimages.
He eventually reached a point twenty meters away from the star beam, his progress slowing to the point of a snail's pace.
Sword Ancestor had no choice but to stop. He looked at Ning Qi and said:
"Boy, if you don't stop the will of the Vast Realm now, it will be too late!"
At the same time, his gaze fell on Ning Qi's left hand, which made the Sword Ancestor breathe a sigh of relief.
Ning Qi's left hand was injured before, but it has now fully recovered.
Ning Qi smiled faintly, "Don't worry, now that I've shown myself, it's no longer any of our business."
The will of the Vast Realm seemed to be able to perceive their conversation, and upon seeing Ning Qi appear, its grand will seemed to show a hint of anger.
Above the beam of starlight, the swaying starlight tentacles all reached out to grab Ning Qi.
Ning Qi ran it once before, but it won't do it again!
The Sword Ancestor unleashed another sword strike. His attack was unlikely to sever the star beams, but it could at least block the starlight tentacles.
Ning Qi had no intention of escaping again.
A sword appeared out of thin air in his right palm, which he gripped firmly.
"One sword can shatter all laws!"
Ning Qi used the same Sword Dao as the Sword Ancestor.
With a single sword strike, the sword light condensed, as white as sunlight, severing the tentacles that approached him and shattering the purple light barrier formed by the will of the Vast Realm driving the Earth.
In the end, Ning Qi's sword did not strike the crystal spirit jade, but rather the point where the will of the Vast Realm's star beam connected with the crystal spirit jade!
Click!
To everyone's surprise, Ning Qi's sword actually severed the laser-like beam of starlight!
Everyone stared wide-eyed, deeply shocked, and their hopes deepened.
Even the will of the Vast Realm did not expect this outcome.
The severed laser beam danced wildly in the void like a rope of light.
The energy conversion within the crystal jade completely stopped, and the yin-yang symbol within it was only missing two final points to form.
Ning Qi took a step forward, about to seize the Crystal Jade.
The laser beam, of course, wouldn't let Ning Qi snatch it. In an instant, several tentacles as thick as hemp ropes separated from the arm-thick beam, grabbing at Ning Qi like claws reaching for the sky.
This time, Ning Qi did not dodge.
Instead, he stretched out his left hand and opened it towards the sky, seemingly forgetting that his left hand had been pierced by the will of the Vast Realm.
The star beams transformed into tentacles and attacked, almost reaching him.
On Ning Qi's left hand, bursts of power, both terrifying and somewhat familiar to cultivators of the Xuanzhen Domain, erupted.
It is formless and intangible, yet like the beam of stars, it emits a faint light.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be several rays of light, each no more than a meter long.
But these few rays of light, in an instant, were able to rival the starlight tentacles.
It appears to be an existence on par with Starbeam!
"Could the Alliance Leader be using the power of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm?"
Among the people of Xuanzhen Domain, many had this thought in their minds.
In their understanding, only the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm could contend with the will of the Vast Realm.
Ning Qi did indeed use the boundary power bestowed upon him by the Mountain and Sea Realm. In addition to rewarding him with medium-sized rule fragments, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm also granted him other benefits after he captured that medium-sized node.
In fact, they also secretly gave him, the domain lord, ten realm powers as a special reward.
However, this was kept secret from other cultivators; the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm could naturally conceal this from everyone.
Therefore, Ning Qi was able to resist the will of the Vast Realm at this moment.
Of course, if he were to reveal his true strength, he would naturally be able to contend with the starlight of the Vast Realm's will.
He had previously used the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm to heal his left hand injury.
The will of the Vast Realm Star Beam never expected that Ning Qi could use the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm to fight against it. It instantly realized that Ning Qi must be a domain lord within the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Only the Domain Lord can use the power of the Spirit Realm.
Ultimately, the formation of the war zone between the two realms also relies on the power of those realms.
The wills of both realms possess unfathomable power, but ultimately, they are both wielding the power of their respective realms.
Therefore, the Vast Star Array is actually a boundary force.
Ning Qi's few strands of boundary power encountered the star beam of the will of the Vast Realm and immediately took the initiative to fight back, which temporarily blocked Ning Qi's attack from the will of the Vast Realm.
But this is not a long-term solution. The stars are shining, and the will of the Vast Realm is constantly gathering strength.
Therefore, the boundary force it transfers is inexhaustible as long as the celestial star is not destroyed.
Ning Qi took another step forward, having already snatched the crystal spirit jade in his hand.
Looking at this crystal jade, no bigger than a human head, who would believe that it contains all the energy of this mountain and sea realm and the Boundary Sea?
Ning Qi glanced up and saw that the will of the Vast Realm was about to completely obliterate the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Without further hesitation, he channeled a few more strands of boundary energy from his right hand, which was holding the crystal jade, and poured them into it.
Inside the crystal jade, the yin-yang symbol, which was just one step away from being fully formed by the final ritual, became agitated as Ning Qi injected the boundary power into it.
Ning Qi could clearly feel as if he were holding a huge mountain, it was so heavy.
Above, the beam of the Vast Realm's will had already obliterated those few strands of realm power and was now rushing towards Ning Qi.
Neither the Sword Ancestor nor the Xuanzhen Domain army could help Ning Qi at this moment.
All they could do was look at him with eyes full of trust.
Ning Qi raised the crystal spirit jade in his right hand and rushed directly towards the star beam of the will of the Vast Realm.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw.
Why is the alliance leader walking right into a trap?
But the next second, endless energy shot upwards from the crystal spirit jade in Ning Qi's hand.
It immediately resisted the descending beam of the Vast Realm's will.
Then, Ning Qi's figure continued to rush upwards.
The star beam was actually forced to retreat steadily by the two energies within the crystal jade!
From afar, Ning Qi looked like a warrior defying the heavens, holding a precious pearl and repelling the star beams.
Click!
Click!
The will of the Vast Realm Lord seemed to have sensed the anomaly here, and continued to pour more and more realm power into this place.
Above the sky, that celestial star appeared even more enchanting.
The star beams spewing from it became increasingly concentrated, but they could not stop Ning Qi's upward surge.
Clad in white, purer than snow, she lifted the ball and soared into the sky.
The crystal jade in his hand seemed unable to withstand the impact of internal and external energies, and cracks kept appearing on it.
Finally, the crystal jade shattered completely, and all the energy within it spilled out!
Between heaven and earth, winds and clouds suddenly appear.
A faint yin-yang symbol, enlarged, seemed to be rotating around Ning Qi.
That is the manifestation of the energy of the Boundary Sea and the energy of the mountain and sea boundary!
Previously, they were suppressed together by the will of the Vast Realm, restraining each other and forming a balance, which gave the will of the Vast Realm the opportunity to occupy this place.
However, Ning Qi has now released them, and at the same time, he has transformed their mutually restraining forces into mutually reinforcing ones.
Ning Qi also had to thank Wei Wuyai for sending him the Bloodfire Immortal Sect's Golden Sun Body Tempering Technique.
He created the Taiyin Sun God Technique based on this, which, although a Dao-integrating profound technique, also has methods that can be used by those in the Integration Realm.
In addition, Ning Qi also had a few strands of the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm to activate it, so he was able to use this method at the moment.
Which is stronger, the moon or the sun?
Yin and Yang in harmony, slaying immortals and destroying emperors!
Although it was Ning Qi's first time using this technique, he found it exceptionally easy. In addition, the yin-yang fish formed by the energy of the Boundary Sea and the will of the Mountain and Sea Boundary was perfectly timed.
He was dressed in white, with yin-yang symbols constantly revolving around him, making him appear as if he were a celestial being who had completely mastered the mysteries of life and death.
The will of the Vast Realm clearly hadn't expected Ning Qi to have such a move, especially since it was the one who had created the Yin-Yang fish.
Ning Qi was essentially using its power to achieve maximum effect with minimal effort.
No matter how Ren Haoran's will was gathered, its boundary force could no longer withstand Ning Qi's power.
Even if it lands on Ning Qi's body, the Yin-Yang fish outside Ning Qi's body can disperse it and devour it at the same time.
Finally, Ning Qi rushed straight to the celestial boundary and arrived in front of the celestial star.
From within the celestial stars, the will of the Vast Realm resounded.
"I will remember you, cultivator from the Mountain and Sea Realm."
Ning Qi remained silent, then reached out a cloud-like hand and plucked the celestial star from the sky.
As he plucked the Heavenly Star, the will of the Vast Realm within it completely receded, transforming back into a flawless node bead.
Ning Qi poured the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm into it, and the node bead transformed back into a celestial star, which Ning Qi then embedded in the boundary wall.
The transformed celestial bodies showered starlight downwards.
As starlight illuminated the Xuanzhen Domain army, the suppressive force on them eased, and their strength was instantly restored to 30%.
The yin-yang symbol surrounding Ning Qi continued to spin. He descended from the sky like a god or a demon, and addressed the crowd:
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and build the altar!"
Upon hearing this, the people of Xuanzhen Domain finally came to their senses.
As they gazed at Ning Qi, they felt that the image of their leader would forever be etched in their hearts.
Afterwards, everyone flew to the location where the White Crane Immortal Sect cultivators had been and began constructing the altar.
Ning Qi glanced at the yin-yang fish spinning around him, then formed a hand seal. The yin-yang fish gradually shrank and was completely absorbed by him.
