Why Didn't He Play by the Rules?

Within the boundaries of war.

Ning Qi emerged from a dark void.

Behind him lay the void of the last hidden node, a dark expanse that served as a backdrop for his snow-white robes as he harvested the two realms.

As he left that area, the void behind him was instantly compressed by the surrounding normal node space; the darkness seemed to have encountered light and completely dissolved behind it.

At this time, the True Martial, having integrated with the six hidden node spaces of the Central Region, is experiencing another wave of rapid growth.

In less than half an hour, more than a dozen Origin rules were added to the True Martial!

All living beings in the True Martial sensed the changes occurring in the world and once again bowed in reverence to Realm Lord Ning Qi.

Ning Qi leaped to the side of the boundary wall.

Although his strength has now reached the Major Completion of the Rule Realm, this rapidly integrated space can be considered a great tonic, easily advancing his strength even further.

Ning Qi's eyes shone like stars as he gazed towards the direction of the War Realm.

With the increase in strength and the fact that he was reincarnated within it, the connection between the two became increasingly clear.

Even without deliberately opening a spatial channel to allow the original body's will to descend, Ning Qi could clearly sense the location of his reincarnated body and explore its environment.

In the entire war domain, Ning Qi is naturally not yet able to view it like the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm, able to see it as a picture from above and understand the capture status of each node.

However, Ning Qi's eyes could already fully reflect the situation in the area where his reincarnated self was located.

When the spatial passage was opened in the Vast Realm to teleport twenty Dao Integration Realm to the Central Region where their reincarnations resided, Realm Lord Ning Qi had a complete understanding of it.

"Impressive tactics! To deal with me, the Vast Realm is actually willing to let twenty Dao Integration Realm commit suicide!"

Ning Qi couldn't help but admire the Holy Ancestor's decision-making ability and the importance he placed on him.

Unfortunately, they never imagined that with his true form behind him, unless the Mountain Ancestor, Sea Ancestor, Holy Ancestor, or the will of the two realms completely descended, they would be unable to do anything to his reincarnation.

Ning Qi reached out and clenched his fist towards the war zone.

Relying on the the Unseen connection between himself and his reincarnated self, he easily opened a barely perceptible spatial channel and transmitted information to the reincarnated body.

After transmitting the message, Realm Lord Ning Qi glanced at the entire War Realm.

The territories of other realms are currently unknown to him.

However, Ning Qi was confident that as long as his reincarnated body continued to integrate more of the two worlds into the True Martial Realm, he would eventually become like the will of the two worlds, fully understanding the entire situation within the War Realm.

Within the Central Region.

Ning Qi was initially delighted upon sensing the information transmitted from the main body.

This ability to gain comprehensive insight into intelligence across the entire war zone is something his reincarnated body could never achieve.

All he could do was observe the situation in his realm using the data from the Solingcha Disc.

Now that he possesses this ability, he can more easily formulate future strategies.

He and his original self are currently in a strange state.

He is both an observer and a player, and also someone who gets involved in the game.

The ancestors of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Vast Realm, and the two realms were merely players in a game of chess; none of them noticed his existence.

Ning Qi opened his personal storage space and took out three node beads that shimmered with a soft white light.

This bead is located at the core of the territory near the army of the three domains of the Vast Realm.

In a normal major battle, no one would expect to be able to steal the node bead.

Even if someone dared to think about it, they couldn't do it.

Normally, cultivators from both realms would immediately establish an altar after occupying the node, thus summoning the will of both realms.

However, Ning Qi possessed some of the abilities of a true realm master, which is why he was able to seize the core of the realm first.

This also prevented the army of the Vast Realm from unleashing the will of the Vast Realm, thus giving Ning Qi more trump cards in his hand!

He single-handedly pioneered a new tactic for this war, and could then use the same method to seize the node beads that were not occupied by either side.

After that, whether or not to summon the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm is entirely up to him!

Ning Qi then took out the Solingcha Plate and looked down at the map displayed on it.

On the map, the army of the Vast Realm remained in place, but twenty distinctly powerful auras appeared within their ranks.

On the map, this is reflected in the fact that twenty fog dots representing the vast army of the Haoran Realm are clearly shining brightly.

Apart from them, all that remains on the entire Central Region map are the three armies under his command: the Xuanzhen Domain, the Fuyao Domain, and the Langya Domain.

Clearly, the three armies of the Mountain and Sea Realm in the Central Region have been completely wiped out!

Seeing this, Ning Qi tossed the node bead in his hand, several thoughts flashing through his mind.

Now that the opponent has severed their own Dao and appeared, they only have two possible methods.

One option is to come directly to him, and another is to force him to show himself by taking his army hostage.

With Ning Qi's insight, he even deduced many of the various methods his opponent might use. With these predictions, how could he let his opponent have his way?

Ning Qi smiled, casually tearing apart the space in front of him, and then disappeared from the spot.

The twenty Dao Integration Realm experts, led by Xue Shidi, were still discussing how to find Ning Qi.

Wu Xu and Sun Lei both expressed their opinions, and ultimately, Blood Killer adopted Wu Xu's strategy.

They looked at the captured Brahma and Kumārajīva.

"Lead the way if you want to live."

Brahma and his companion breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the other party had adopted their suggestion.

"Please, senior, release the seal upon us."

Blood Killer flicked his finger, and two blood-red specks of light immediately flew towards the two of them.

The light fell on the two of them, and the seal that Fei Bing and the other two had worked so hard to set up was instantly broken!

Brahma and his companion stood up, looking disheveled.

Looking at the twenty Dao Integration experts and the remaining large army of cultivators from the two domains of the Vast Realm, the two of them felt like ants facing an entire human army.

Even if they still possessed the skills bestowed upon them by their father, they wouldn't dare use them in the face of such power.

Before they can even use their abilities, they'll be easily crushed by their opponent!

Both of them felt a deep sense of unease, but when they thought that Ning Qi was the one who had caused this situation, they felt a terrible hatred for Ning Qi from the bottom of their hearts.

"You damn bastard, you just wait!"

"Better to sacrifice a fellow Daoist than myself" has always been their principle.

Even if you betray ordinary cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Realm, as long as you don't betray the Mountain Ancestor, you'll be fine.

In their minds, only those who have gained the approval of the Mountain Ancestor are considered one of their own.

As for the countless cultivators below them, they are all servants who fight for their interests, and are the consumables for them to enjoy wealth and glory.

What kind of betrayal is selling consumables? The lives of consumables are never as precious as theirs!

Just as the two were about to lead the Vast Realm army to find Ning Qi's Three Domains army.

Suddenly, a terrifying change occurred in their territory.

About a thousand miles to the north, a purple star appeared, its rays hanging down like a beam of light.

Instantly, everyone felt their bodies sink, and their strength was immediately suppressed by 30%.

"Oh no! This node has been captured by the Mountain and Sea Realm!"

They were situated on the edge of this area, just within the reach of the starlight, so they were immediately aware of the changes taking place.

Upon hearing this, the three commanders of the Three Domains Army, namely Fei Bing and his two companions, were taken aback.

Fei Bing said, "Lord Xue, we had already investigated this place before. The node core had disappeared, but now it has suddenly reappeared and been activated. It must be Ning Qi who has appeared!"

"Ning Qi?"

Blood Killer glanced at everyone, his gaze finally settling on Brahma and the other two.

He said to Fei Bing and the other two, "Keep an eye on them. If anything changes, don't hold back!"

Fei Bing and the other two nodded immediately.

The faces of Brahma and the other two, which had just regained some color, instantly turned pale again.

They had finally managed to secure a chance to survive, but suddenly things changed again!

Blood Slayer took the lead, flying towards the direction where the Purple Star was descending.

"Come with me!"

Nineteen Dao-Merging cultivators quickly followed behind him.

Twenty people flew across the sky, like jet planes leaving twenty trails in the heavens.

The only thing that brought comfort to everyone was that the node had just been activated, and the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm had not yet fully descended.

Otherwise, the suppression they face will be even more terrifying!

Even those who had severed their own paths to the Dao Integration Realm couldn't gain any advantage when the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm descended completely.

This is equivalent to them, as cultivators from the Vast Realm, suddenly appearing in the Mountain and Sea Realm; wouldn't they be easily manipulated?

The will of the spirit world is invincible!

In just a short while, Xue Shidi and his group had flown five hundred miles away.

They looked around and, with their abilities, could see clearly what was happening 500 miles away.

A figure in white stood on the ground.

Before him stood an altar, and a figure in white stood at one corner of it, seemingly chanting incantations, drawing down the complete will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"Speed up! We must destroy the altar before Ning Qi summons the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm!"

Everyone responded in unison.

However, among the twenty people, Wu Xu, dressed in scholar's robes, frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss.

Isn't Ning Qi being a bit too arrogant? Knowing they were nearby, he dared to come here alone to seize the node and summon the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Does he intend to use the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm he has descended upon to protect himself and kill us?

After a while, they had flown to a distance of 250 miles, a distance at which they could unleash considerable attack power.

All that could be heard was Blood Slayer's command, "Everyone, attack!"

He continued flying forward while raising his right hand.

In his right palm, endless crimson light surged, instantly condensing into an irregularly shaped blood spear that resembled crimson glass.

"Go!"

Blood Slayer shouted and hurled his Blood Spear.

"Thunderbolt!"

With a thunderous roar, the blood spear flashed through the air with lightning speed, piercing straight at the white-clad figure before the altar.

And following closely behind are the rules that others follow.

It could be a bolt of azure lightning, a golden divine arrow, a sharp Sword Qi, or...

In short, several attacks landed on the altar two hundred miles away, one after the other.

The attack hit its mark perfectly, the altar seemed to shatter easily, and the beam of purple stars that shot straight down from the sky seemed to have been severed.

But then, everyone's expression changed.

Wu Xu shouted sternly, "We've fallen into a trap! Retreat!"

He was the first to act, abruptly stopping in mid-air and quickly flying backward.

Blood Killer and the others followed suit, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Because the altar they destroyed was just a phantom, and the white-clad figure beside it was also a phantom.

The phantom seemed to have intended to attract their attention from the start, drawing them closer.

If they hadn't attacked from a distance and destroyed it, realizing it was just a phantom, it would have been dangerous if they had gotten any closer!

When they saw their attack miss, they immediately realized that the person who set up the illusion seemed to be extremely proficient in the art of illusion and reality, and was also particularly skilled in Formation.

Everything was preordained by the other party!

The purple stars that fell from the sky were merely one part of its design.

The purpose was to make them believe that the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm had not yet fully descended, which is why they were so eager to go there in order to prevent the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm from descending.

But damn it, the moment they attacked that phantom, it was as if some kind of pre-programmed sequence was completely activated.

The purple star beam broke not because they interrupted the other party's ritual, but because the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm had truly descended!

Blood Killer and his companions felt extremely aggrieved.

The only thing that made them feel a little better was that the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm had just descended and did not yet possess true power.

Even if they were still within this area, they would have time to escape.

In a short time, the group had retreated hundreds of miles.

Wu Xu became extremely nervous, and suddenly, he screamed.

"Look behind you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention, which had been focused on what was in front, immediately shifted back.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it; once you do, everyone's hearts turn as cold as frozen river water in winter!

They were almost stunned; their retreating figures suddenly paused, as if they were lost and unsure of where to go next.

Behind and to the left and right of the group, about a thousand miles away, two beams of purple starlight descended from the sky and landed on earth in an instant.

Unlike what they had seen before, those two beams of purple starlight were completed in an instant.

Instantly, an extremely terrifying energy surged from both sides behind them, which was the manifestation of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"Damn it, how could this happen?"

Although everyone had attained the Dao, they were still filled with trepidation.

They were absolutely certain that the one who could cause such a commotion was none other than Ning Qi, their target for assassination!

But Ning Qi's performance seemed to be far more powerful than they had imagined, and Ning Qi completely disrupted their plans!

Their original plan was for all twenty Dao Integration Realm to come out together, either to directly confront Ning Qi or to force Ning Qi to come out.

In short, they were preparing to gang up on Ning Qi by twenty people!

But Ning Qi didn't give them any chance at all. They hadn't even met face to face before the other party started to overturn the table and take advantage of the situation!

Ning Qi had no intention of fighting them. Instead, he changed their environment by summoning the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Blood Slayer and the others are almost going crazy!

Why did it turn out this way?

Now that Ning Qi's plan has succeeded, he has completely captured the three nodes around them and almost simultaneously summoned the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

What's the difference between this and drawing a circle around yourself and being imprisoned?

Moreover, Ning Qi was cunning and shrewd, managing to trap them at three points near the center.

Their primary concern now is not how to deal with Ning Qi, but how to escape from the encirclement of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will.
