Recruiting Again

"Shall we engage in a duel?"

Sword Ancestor exchanged glances with Qi Keqing, Zhu Yanchuan, and the others.

These individuals were the strongest in the three armies, all having reached the limit of the Integration Realm. Each of them firmly believed that they would eventually step into the Dao Integration Realm, the two highest realms of cultivators.

Upon hearing Ning Qi's words that there was someone here who had severed his own body to achieve Dao, the group was naturally overjoyed.

After all, this is their best chance to come into contact with the Dao.

However, the group had just been teleported here and had not yet learned the true situation on the ground.

Therefore, when their gazes fell upon the twenty Dao-merging cultivators who were surrounded by the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, their expressions immediately fell.

"We'll fight twenty Dao-merging cultivators?"

Just then, a phantom image emerged from the ring on Ning Qi's hand.

It was Wei Wuyai, who hadn't appeared for a long time, the Supreme Elder of the Bloodfire Immortal Sect in the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm before the Xuanzhen Domain split.

Ning Qi had previously restored his cultivation to the Integration Realm, and now Ning Qi was preparing to let this guy out and roam around.

We can't let an old fellow who was originally at the Dao Integration Realm follow us for nothing, can we?

Moreover, with the current war zone gradually attracting Dao Integration Realms, bringing Wei Wuyai out would give Ning Qi another ally.

"Domain Lord!"

Wei Wuyai appeared as a blue phantom, standing beside Ning Qi Ning Qi and bowing deeply to him.

Since he formed a contract with Ning Qi using his Primordial Spirit power, Ning Qi could be considered his master, and his life and death were entirely in Ning Qi's hands.

Therefore, Ning Qi also regarded him as a trustworthy confidant, keeping him by his side at all times and not hiding anything from him.

Therefore, during the time Wei Wuyai spent with Ning Qi, his understanding of Ning Qi deepened.

He originally thought that Ning Qi was just incredibly talented and had great fortune, which led him to become the Lord of the Xuanzhen Domain.

But after truly following Ning Qi, Wei Wuyai realized that what he had seen before was merely the tip of the iceberg of Ning Qi's true nature!

Wei Wuyai was utterly shocked, feeling both fear and joy.

What's frightening is that Ning Qi is the ruler of the True Martial Realm. Doesn't that mean that Ning Qi will eventually engage in a war of survival with the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm?

So, following Ning Qi, he was naturally also tied to this chariot, unable to jump off even if he wanted to.

What's gratifying is that, like Fan Jin passing the imperial examination, he had wasted his life and never expected to receive such a tremendous opportunity at the end.

If Ning Qi succeeds, then naturally he and his entire family will rise to prominence.

What do these cultivators seek, besides becoming stronger, is enlightenment and understanding the Dao?

Since following Ning Qi, Wei Wuyai was convinced that he could get what he needed from Ning Qi.

Therefore, Wei Wuyai now holds Ning Qi in exceptional respect.

Sword Ancestor and the others were naturally surprised when they saw Wei Wuyai appear. Qi Keqing and the others were also astonished.

They hadn't expected Ning Qi to have such a person by his side.

"Old Wei, you've been with me for a while now. I wonder if you'd be willing to serve me and fight for me?" Ning Qi asked.

Wei Wuyai immediately replied, "This old man obeys!"

"Very well, then I will raise your cultivation level to the same level as theirs."

Ning Qi immediately took out several fragments of rules rewarded by the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, shattered them, and all the power of the rules transformed into a stream of mixed energy, which was then injected into Wei Wuyai's illusory body.

Wei Wuyai's cultivation level surged dramatically, reaching the limit of the Fusion Realm in an instant.

Moreover, his illusory blue figure gradually solidified, and the rules recreated his physical body.

Before long, an elderly man with white hair appeared on the spot.

Wei Wuyai was overjoyed, never expecting to recover his physical body so quickly.

Within the Xuanzhen Domain army, his disciple Fu Chen watched this scene with a smile on his face.

Sure enough, the teacher made the right move by leading him to follow Ning Qi.

Not only did he benefit greatly, but even his teacher, Wei Wuyai, recovered so quickly.

"Serve me well, and when the war zone can accommodate Dao Integration cultivators, I will help you restore your Dao Integration stage cultivation!"

"This old man thanks the Domain Lord!"

Ning Qi glanced at Xue Shidi and the others, and said, "The leader is skilled in the rules of blood, so let Elder Wei, who also masters the rules of blood and fire, handle him."

"Yes!"

After Ning Qi finished speaking, several more demons were teleported behind him.

Several Mutant Beast appeared; these were the Boundary Sea Fierce Beasts he had subdued after arriving in the War Realm.

Black Dragon Xiao Hei, Bee Demon Queen Feng Baihua, and the Five Great Demon Kings: Tiger, Leopard, Lion, Wolf, and Eagle.

Their strength is also at the limit of the Fusion Realm. Compared to human cultivators, they are tough and thick-skinned, and they come from the Boundary Sea. Each of them is the kind of soldier Ning Qi needs right now.

"You all attack together."

"Yes, Master!"

At this moment, Sword Ancestor and the others were relieved. Although their numbers were still less than twenty, they still outnumbered the enemy by more than half.

"Go ahead, with me backing you up, you don't need to worry about your life."

Everyone nodded in unison, and immediately flew towards Xue Shidi and the others to sever their own ties with the Dao.

In the distance, Xue Shidi and the others saw Ning Qi easily manipulate the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm, so they blocked their path.

Unwilling to remain trapped, the group desperately bombarded the boundary barrier at the edge.

Unfortunately, their cultivation levels are not at their peak, so they can only slightly shake the barrier and cannot break through it at all.

"Brother Xue, I'm afraid we'll lose our lives here today," Wu Xu said.

Sun Lei also said, "To die at the hands of a bunch of combined-level experts, it's so damn frustrating!"

The people's faces were already pale, and upon hearing this, they all seemed to be filled with anger.

Wu Xu then asked, "Brother Xue, do you still have any trump cards left? I remember they gave you two scrolls when you left the Vast Realm!"

Bloodthirsty Enemy's bloodshot eyes swept over the crowd.

Looking further into the distance at the vast army of the Vast Realm, they discovered that the Three Domains army, summoned by Ning Qi, was also charging towards them.

Meanwhile, Sword Ancestor and the others were rushing towards them, each one brimming with fighting spirit and quite excited.

Right now, they can't afford to worry about saving the army of the Vast Realm; even their own survival is uncertain.

Bloodstained eyes, gleaming with a faint light, seemed to slay the enemy.

"I do have one more trump card, but how should I use it right now?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately transmitted their thoughts.

Fortunately, Ning Qi has no intention of attacking them again, and they are not afraid of Sword Ancestor and the others.

Therefore, the dilemma facing them is simply whether to save themselves or to save the army of the Vast Realm.

As for targeting Ning Qi?

The previous scroll bearing the Holy Ancestor's seal was completely useless against Ning Qi, and they weren't sure if this remaining trump card would be of any use to Ning Qi.

In a few moments, the group had decided on how to use it.

Immediately, Blood Killer pulled out another scroll from his pocket.

Ning Qi sensed it immediately and instantly traversed space to escape.

"Oh, so you still have a trump card up your sleeve?"

Behind him, Sword Ancestor and the others had not yet arrived.

Upon seeing Ning Qi appear, Xue Shidi and the others were also taken aback.

However, no one said anything, and everyone attacked Ning Qi in unison.

Countless spells and supernatural Divine Ability surged into the void, crashing down on Ning Qi like a city wall entirely formed of magic.

In response, Ning Qi unleashed a giant palm of five-colored divine light.

The giant hand, like a hand that blots out the sky, pierced through the void and collided with the spells and supernatural Divine Ability of the opposing group.

Rumble!

A thunderous roar erupted as one side shone with various colors of light, while on the other side, five-colored divine light continuously alternated and flowed.

To the horror of Xue Shidi and the others, Ning Qi's Five-Colored Divine Light Giant Palm had become even more powerful than before!

The five-colored divine light giant palm was continuously dissolving their spells and supernatural Divine Ability, absorbing their energy, and making its size grow larger and larger.

Their attacks, however, seemed to have shrunk, constantly shrinking.

Thunder crackled from the five-colored giant hand, and countless shattered fragments of rules scattered in the void, constantly eroding their walls of magic and Divine Ability.

The scroll in Xue Shidi's hand was finally opened, but he did not aim it at Ning Qi, nor at Sword Ancestor and the others, nor at the army of the three domains of Xuanzhen Domain.

He aimed it at the barrier formed by the condensed power of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The scroll spontaneously combusted, and a blood-red character for "kill" flew out!

As soon as it appeared, all the cultivators in this area smelled an extremely strong stench of blood, as if they had entered a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

Those with weaker Primordial Spirit spirits and wills immediately fell into a daze, behaving like zombies, tearing at those around them.

As soon as the character for "kill" was uttered, countless blood-red weapons flew out from between its strokes, slashing forward.

The barrier formed by the force of the mountains and seas was instantly shattered, creating a large hole.

Blood Killer and the others immediately followed and slipped out.

Upon arriving in an area beyond the reach of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will, the twenty cultivators, whose strength had been suppressed due to their self-severance in the Dao Integration Realm, finally recovered.

To Ning Qi's dismay, they did not choose to stay, but instead continued to urge the killing scripture and headed north.

Upon seeing this, Ning Qi suddenly understood what they were up to!

This place is located on the northern side of the Central Region, and is already very close to the Upper Region.

Just as Ning Qi had crossed over to the lower and middle domains before, a boundary barrier was set up between them to prevent communication between the two domains. This was also to allow the war domain to stabilize and take shape as soon as possible so that the Dao merging of the two domains could enter quickly.

Therefore, Xue Shidi and his group's idea was to open the barrier between themselves and the Upper Realm.

As expected, Xue Shidi and his group urged the execution of the killing letter.

The blood-red character for "kill" was vast, radiating a crimson light that enveloped the twenty Blood Slayers.

At this moment, it's less that they are urging the word "kill," and more that the word "kill" is carrying them away in their escape.

After all, Ning Qi recognized the word "kill" at a glance; it was another masterpiece of the Holy Ancestor.

Compared to the previous "suppress" character, the "kill" character naturally possesses greater offensive power, not to mention that it also contains the will of the Holy Ancestor.

Thinking about this, Ning Qi seemed to understand something else.

It's likely that Xue Shidi and the others have been manipulated by the Holy Ancestor's will!

Perhaps it was after the battle with Ning Qi that the Holy Ancestor's will realized how powerful Ning Qi was.

Therefore, at this moment, he used the word "kill" to save Xue Shidi and the others, completely changing the original intention of bringing everyone here.

They flew directly towards the barrier of the war zone.

The word "kill" was filled with bloody light, carrying everyone along, and then released thousands of blood blades, directly opening a large hole in the barrier.

Then, Xue Shidi and the others disappeared in front of Ning Qi, and the barrier that had been opened immediately closed, preventing Ning Qi and the others from pursuing them.

Ning Qi frowned slightly.

He did not intercept Xue Shidi and the others, and if he did not use his physical strength, he could only defeat the Holy Ancestor's attack on Divine Intent at most.

Moreover, there's another point related to the True Martial.

Ning Qi always remembered that he needed an opportunity to make the war between the two worlds more intense and chaotic.

So isn't this an opportunity?

Surely he can't actually help the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm conquer the Vast Realm, can he?

Behind Ning Qi, Sword Ancestor and the others remained.

"Kid, looks like the cooked duck has flown away!"

"The Sword Ancestor joked."

Qi Keqing and the others remained silent.

A hint of lingering fear flickered in everyone's eyes.

If they had encountered the power released from that word "kill," they would probably have been instantly killed.

Fortunately, the other party did not choose to fight to the death, but instead chose to escape with their people.

"Let them escape; it might not be a bad thing."

"Good news?" Sword Ancestor asked in confusion.

Ning Qi turned around and laughed, "The Vast Realm values me so much that they even sent twenty people to sever their own Dao Integration, and what about our Mountain and Sea Realm?"

Upon hearing this, no one dared to answer for a moment.

They were all within the sphere of influence of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will, and dared not mention anything that was detrimental to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

They are subjects of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm is like God to them.

Only someone like Ning Qi, a domain lord recognized by the Mountain and Sea Realm, would dare to say such a thing.

Ning Qi glanced at the army of the three domains of Xuanzhen Domain; they had almost wiped out the remaining cultivators of Haoran Realm.

"Alright, let's wait until we've completely taken over the Central Region before venturing into the Upper Region to settle things with them. Then we'll see how they run."

Upon hearing this, Sword Ancestor and the others had no choice but to obey.

Ning Qi has now reached a level that is beyond their reach. Not only is Ning Qi's strength, but Ning Qi strategy and vision are also beyond the reach of others.

Ning Qi took out Compass, on which a map appeared.

Ning Qi glanced around and realized that there were still three nodes left in the entire Central Region that had not been captured.

He then arranged for the armies of the three regions to each attack and capture the final stronghold.

After everyone left.

Ning Qi floated in the void.

Before him, the will of the surrounding mountains and seas coalesced into a phantom image.

"Ning Qi, why did you let them escape?"

Ning Qi replied calmly, "Lord Realm, this is a false accusation. I captured three nodes, and you witnessed the battle firsthand. The enemy even brought out items belonging to the Holy Ancestor. How could I possibly cope?"

The phantom stared at Ning Qi, as if trying to see through his thoughts.

Ning Qi shrugged and followed him.

This rogue-like appearance startled the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm. The reason it appeared was not to target Ning Qi.

The illusory figure glanced in the direction of the Upper Realm.

"They went to the Upper Realm, and it's likely that the Upper Realm will be completely conquered by the Vast Realm. This is troublesome."

Ning Qi said, "I have already sent my men to capture the remaining three nodes. Once we take them, we will be able to cross over to the Upper Domain very quickly. No matter how fast they are, they can't possibly take over the Upper Domain so soon, can they?"

The illusory figure turned around and looked at Ning Qi again.

"Alright, it's just a small territory. As long as you're here, we can conquer it at any time."

He paused, then continued, "I've shown myself here to tell you that you've been targeted by the Dao Integration Realm within the Mountain and Sea Realm, and they may be plotting against you."

Ning Qi asked frankly, "Are they those Dao Integration Ancestors from the Heavenly Fire Domain, the Vine Wood Domain, and the Earthly Gold Domain?"

The illusory figure from the Mountain and Sea Realm said, "You're not afraid, are you? How about considering my previous suggestion to become my disciple?"
