Submission

Ning Qi flicked his sleeve, and the dust that had risen on the ground below immediately dissipated.

Qi Baishou's body, severed in two, lay amidst the earth and rocks. Even in his dying moments, disbelief shone through his wide-open eyes.

He was the commander of the Hundred Beasts Spirit Realm, how could he die so easily?

The two armies fighting not far away saw Ning Qi kill the Limit Venerable Qi Baishou with a single glance, and most of them trembled uncontrollably.

Who exactly is this great deity?

How could such a formidable figure exist in the realm of war, where even those who transcend the Dao cannot be found?

Zhu Yanchuan, Qiu Dingbang, and Ma Shuangjue were still suspended in the air, staring blankly at Ning Qi, their faces full of astonishment.

When Qi Baishou charged towards Ning Qi earlier, the three of them were a little apprehensive, fearing that Ning Qi wasn't as strong as he seemed.

But now, the three of them stared at Qi Baishou, who was dead beyond any doubt in the pit, their lips twitching, unsure of what to say.

Ning Qi tossed the node bead he had taken from Qi Baishou into his hand, channeling his power into it.

Instantly, the node bead transformed into a purple star that shot straight into the sky and landed firmly on the boundary wall.

A soft purple light fell upon the earth, and the suppressed cultivation levels of all the cultivators from the Mountain and River Realm present immediately recovered by 30%.

Everyone was startled.

Meanwhile, the opposing army from the Hundred Beasts Spirit Realm had their cultivation suppressed by 30%, and each of them showed signs of panic.

"The beasts of Qi have misled us!"

"That damned Qi Baishou! We were the ones who seized the node bead first, but now the enemy cultivator has snatched it away and released it. We're all going to die here!"

"I curse his ancestors for eighteen generations..."

They were filled with rage and cursed Qi Baishou mercilessly!

No matter how harsh the insults, Qi Baishou is dead, and under the illumination of the Heavenly Star, the strength of the two armies has shifted, completely leveling the gap from before!

If the current situation were only this, the cultivators of the Hundred Beasts Spirit Realm would still have the will to fight.

But Ning Qi, hovering above their heads, alone could hold off an entire region's army.

Ning Qi's swift and decisive defeat of Commander Qi Baishou planted the seed of invincibility in their hearts. His unfathomable strength filled them with despair.

Ning Qi looked down at the crowd below.

Purple light bathed him, staining his white robes purple and adding to his mystique.

Zhu Yanchuan and the other two exchanged glances, then immediately flew towards Ning Qi Ning Qi, stopping ten meters away from him.

The three men looked respectful, bowed slightly, clasped their hands in a deep bow, and said, "We three juniors thank you for your help, seniors!"

Ning Qi nodded slightly and said, "Get up."

Upon hearing this, the three of them stood up.

All three were renowned figures in the Langya Domain, yet they dared not look directly at Ning Qi, only glancing at him out of the corner of their eyes.

Observing Ning Qi at such close range, apart from his handsome yet unremarkable appearance, the three of them could not sense any fluctuations in Ning Qi aura at all.

However, they did manage to discern Ning Qi's age. After a quick calculation, the three of them concluded that Ning Qi was no more than two hundred years old!

The three were shocked by the age they had calculated!

The three of them were all over ten thousand years old on average, while Ning Qi was less than two hundred years old. How could the three of them not be surprised?

However, in the path of cultivation, age is irrelevant; only strength matters, and those who reach the highest level are given priority.

Qiu Dingbang asked, "May I ask if you are a domain lord, senior?"

He was quick-witted and knowledgeable; after combining all the information he had about Ning Qi, he immediately asked a question.

Ning Qi smiled faintly, "Your knowledge is not bad."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yanchuan and Ma Shuangjue immediately understood why Ning Qi dared to travel alone.

Ma Shuangjue asked, "May I ask which domain lord you are, senior?"

"I am the Lord of Xuanzhen Territory."

"Mysterious Realm?"

The three exchanged glances, and each saw that the other's pupils were trembling.

Although they were cultivators from the Langya Domain, they also knew a great deal about the surrounding spiritual domains.

The three had previously guessed that Ning Qi was either from the Fuyou Domain or a cultivator from the Baisha Domain, but they never imagined that Ning Qi came from the Xuanzhen Domain.

After all, the Xuanzhen Domain had been divided for hundreds of thousands of years, but before the Spirit Domain War began, there seemed to be some news of the Xuanzhen Domain's reappearance.

Therefore, the three were extremely surprised to hear that Ning Qi came from the Xuanzhen Domain.

Zhu Yanchuan also inquired, "May I ask your name, senior?"

"My Ning Qi, and I come from the Wuji Sword Sect of the Xuanzhen Domain!"

The three of them were once again astonished. Ning Qi wasn't from a Celestial Sect?

Ning Qi was unconcerned by the three's surprise, and said, "Although you don't know me, I know the three of you."

He glanced at the three people in turn and said each of their names.

Upon hearing this, the three were even more astonished, and at the same time felt quite embarrassed.

Compared to Ning Qi, the two sides were vastly inferior in both strength and intelligence, making them seem utterly useless.

Zhu Yanchuan said, "It is truly an honor for the three of us juniors to be known by Lord Ning."

Ma Shuangjue and Qiu Dingbang echoed his sentiments.

Ning Qi lowered his gaze, and below, the two armies had resumed their battle.

However, it is now the Langya Domain army that is suppressing the Hundred Beasts Domain army.

While facing their enemies, the cultivators of the Hundred Beasts Domain kept glancing in his direction, clearly afraid that he would make a move.

Ning Qi's actions did not go unnoticed by Zhu Yanchuan and the other two. Seeing that Ning Qi seemed to disregard them, the three were not discouraged.

The three said in unison, "On behalf of the Langya Domain army, we swear an oath: if Domain Lord Ning can save us, we will honor you as our commander. Would Domain Lord Ning be so kind as to accept the position of commander?"

Ning Qi's gaze returned to the three faces, a playful glint in his eyes. "You swore oaths to get me to take action, but if I become the commander, aren't you afraid of being blamed by the seniors in your respective immortal sects?"

The three shook their heads repeatedly.

Zhu Yanchuan said, "Currently, cultivators from our Mountain and Sea Realm are entering the War Domain to serve as the vanguard in attacking the Vast Realm, seizing key nodes in the War Domain first to act as a bridgehead for attacking the Vast Realm itself."

"To be honest, our Spirit Realm is relatively weak in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Let alone conquering cities and territories, it is extremely difficult to even lead our own army to survival. Therefore, the goal set by the three of us is survival."

"If Domain Lord Ning can lead us to survive, I think the seniors in the sect will accept it. Besides, as a Domain Lord, even an ordinary Dao Integration Realm is no match for you."

His words True Intention and didn't seem fake, and the two people beside him nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Ning Qi felt that these three were more genuine than Qi Keqing.

Their strategy is to survive first. As for the position of commander, even if they want to reserve it for the sake of autonomy and leave it to the Dao Integration Realm ancestor of the Immortal Sect, what use is the position of commander if they die before the Dao Integration Realm of the War Realm enters?

The three looked at Ning Qi expectantly, genuinely hoping that Ning Qi would lead them, the cultivators of Langya Domain.

Moreover, the armies below are still engaged in battle. Although the Langya Domain army has gained the upper hand, it is unknown how long it will take and how many people will die before they can truly defeat the cultivators of the Hundred Beasts Domain.

If Ning Qi Ning Qi to Commander the army and make another move, they could win in an instant!

Faced with the expectant looks from the three, Ning Qi shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, I have no interest in Commander your army. I even relinquished the position of commander of the Xuanzhen Domain to a senior member of the sect."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yanchuan and the other two were taken aback.

They then realized that the prestigious position of commander-in-chief was nothing special to Ning Qi.

The three of them, whose hearts had just settled down, suddenly felt as if they had plummeted to the bottom of a well, wondering how they could keep Ning Qi.

Ning Qi said, "But don't worry, although I won't be the commander, I can still show you the way."

The three immediately bowed their heads and said, "Please enlighten us, Senior Ning!"

Ning Qi thought for a moment.

The Langya Domain army was not personally trained by him, so it definitely couldn't integrate with the Xuanzhen Domain army.

However, now that Zhu Yanchuan and the other two are completely willing to follow his orders, Ning Qi is also willing to take over the Langya Domain army and let them do more for him.

With this in mind, Ning Qi said, "How about this: after you defeat the army of the Hundred Beasts Domain, go and meet the army of the Profound Truth Domain first, and then go and capture the various nodes. After you have captured all the nodes in this domain, I will lead all of you to capture the nodes of other war domains!"

"What?"

Hearing Ning Qi's ambitious words, the hearts of the three men pounded.

Their only goal was to survive; they never considered capturing any nodes.

However, Ning Qi told them that they not only needed to conquer all the nodes in this domain, but also needed money to conquer other war domains.

Such a goal was something the three of them wouldn't even dare to dream of, and they were momentarily stunned.

"Don't you want to?" Ning Qi said calmly.

The three men snapped out of their daze, bowed repeatedly, and said with unwavering resolve, "We are willing!"

Just kidding, if Ning Qi could really do it, why wouldn't they want to?

Everyone knows that this realm of war is both extremely dangerous and an opportunity to become stronger.

However, relying on themselves would be extremely dangerous; their only goal is survival.

But if given the chance to become stronger, the three of them would definitely do everything in their power to seize it.

Ning Qi said, "Alright, since that's the case, then do as I say. I'll first let the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm fully descend."

"Yes!"

The three did not go to help the army below. Now Ning Qi wanted to build an altar and completely transform this place into the territory Commander the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

At that time, the suppressed strength of the Langya Domain army will be fully restored, and just like in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the scales of victory will naturally tip more in their favor.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if the three of them don't make a move.

They stayed by Ning Qi's side, eager to see how Ning Qi would accomplish this.

Like the Fuyou Domain, their Spirit Domain did not have a domain lord like Ning Qi; they had only heard of the legends surrounding domain lords, so they still did not fully understand Ning Qi's strength.

In addition, this place is a large node. According to their understanding, even a large army from a region would need to set up formations and gather strength, which would take a lot of time, to completely attract the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Ning Qi extended a giant, five-colored hand and pressed it directly onto the ground below.

The ground began to ripple, and in an instant, an altar appeared.

Everyone immediately sensed that the energy of the Boundary Sea and the Vast Realm was rapidly surging towards the altar.

In a short while, the celestial star descended its beam of light, connecting with the terrestrial star. The energy within it transformed between yin and yang, and everyone felt a grand will descend upon them!

"Is that all?"

Zhu Yanchuan and the other two exchanged bewildered glances, utterly shocked.

The situation between the two armies fighting below naturally changed accordingly.

The Langya army's strength has increased again, and its morale is soaring.

The army of the Hundred Beasts Domain was suppressed by another 30% of its strength, and its face turned pale. It had the will to retreat and fought while fleeing.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm has fallen, and it has sent a reward for capturing this node.

Similar to the large node Ning Qi had previously acquired, Ning Qi naturally accepted it with a smile.

Zhu Yanchuan and the other two didn't care. This node was originally captured by Ning Qi, and their army's ability to turn defeat into victory was already thanks to Ning Qi. Did they really want to covet the rewards from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm?

That's like an old man eating poison—he's had enough of living!

Ning Qi accepted the reward from the Mountain and Sea Realm, then took out an item and presented it to the three of them.

"This is the Spirit-Detecting Disc, which can detect the location of nodes. I have marked the location of the Xuanzhen Domain army for you. After you have completely dealt with the cultivators of the Hundred Beast Domain, you should go find them first."

The three replied, "Yes!"

Looking at the small Compass floating in front of them, all three showed surprise.

To their utter surprise, Ning Qi was not only powerful but also possessed such abilities, which gave them a greater sense of certainty about Ning Qi's earlier claim of conquering other war zones.

With this Compass in hand, we can surely capture this key point in the war zone quickly.

Of course, the Solingcha compass that Ning Qi gave them was the same as the one he gave Qi Keqing—a very basic Compass that could only detect the location of one node.

The one given to the Sword Ancestor, however, would allow him to discern the positions of both armies and the node they were heading to.

Afterwards, Ning Qi gave the three some instructions and then disappeared across space.

The three of them stared at Ning Qi, who had vanished without a trace. If it weren't for the fact that the Langya Domain army below had already sounded the victory horn, they would have felt that it was all somewhat unreal.

Ning Qi was like a savior, arriving quietly and departing gracefully, untouched by worldly affairs.

Holding the Compass given to him by Ning Qi Dingbang, a master of array formations, beamed with joy and delight.

"Senior Ning, this Compass is truly marvelous!"

Ning Qi marked the location of the Xuanzhen Domain army on it, but this function would disappear once they saw the Xuanzhen Domain army.

Ning Qi was also doing this for the safety of the Xuanzhen Domain army. He could only use the Langya Domain army, but he wouldn't completely trust them.

Zhu Yanchuan and the other two observed for a moment.

Zhu Yanchuan said, "I think we should quickly deal with the cultivators from the Hundred Beasts Domain and then join up with the army from the Xuanzhen Domain."

Ma Shuangjue and Qiu Dingbang nodded, and the three of them immediately descended from the void and joined the battle.

Having witnessed Ning Qi's methods firsthand, they dared not disobey.

Even if it did, Qiu Dingbang would stop it. He didn't tell the other two that the Compass probably had a positioning function, and Lord Ning should be able to see their movements at all times.

What they didn't know was that there were also many reincarnated cultivators from the True Martial in his army, who were absolutely loyal to Ning Qi, which was why Ning Qi felt at ease leaving.

Sikong Lan led the armies of the Qingxuan Immortal Sect and several other sects to garrison in that strange place.

Sima Fei, who was skilled at surveying terrain, was extremely excited upon arriving at this place.

Following his idea, everyone began to plan how to lure Ning Qi there and then how to torture and kill Ning Qi.

When they talked about having fun, everyone danced with excitement.

Sikong Lan said, "If we can really resolve Ning Qi here, the Ancestor will be very happy, and it will also relieve him of a worry!"

He glanced at Sima Fei, who was deep in thought, and said, "However, Mr. Sima, how should we deal with Ning Qi? That kid is quite strong and extremely skilled at concealment; he's a real headache!"

Sima Fei said, "Haha, the solution lies in the terrain here. This place is impenetrable to the wills of both realms, and its Sha Qi is astonishing. I have successfully transformed this place, turning it into a deadly killing formation."

Sikong Lan exclaimed with delight, "From now on, we'll all be relying on Mr. Sima!"

"Sure, sure!"

Sima Fei added, "It would be a waste to only deal with Ning Qi. If we could also take care of Qi Keqing, then the Fuyou Domain would be ours to rule."

Sikong Lan said, "It would be best if we could resolve everything, but let's see who we attract first!"

Sima Fei nodded, and then suddenly made a hand Method Formula.

Instantly, energy scattered throughout the area, revealing the previously hidden territory within the war domain, with the node beads emitting a soft white light.

At this moment, Qi Keqing and his group, who had just captured a node, saw that the node had been revealed on their Suolingchaji plate, and immediately led their army in that direction.
