Limitless Evil Qi
Above the sky, the clouds of calamity had not yet dissipated.
But all those who were undergoing tribulation have already completed it.
Everyone stared in astonishment as the Sword Ancestor appeared outside after slicing through the spherical lightning.
On the Sword Ancestor's forehead, a five-colored divine chain halo automatically peeled off and dissipated like flower petals.
At this moment, boundless gray-black Evil Qi, like a floodgate opened, flew towards the tribulation lightning in the sky.
The Sword Ancestor's expression seemed both pained and lucid.
Suddenly, a semi-transparent sword of intent flew out from the third eye above his brow.
Clang!
As soon as the sword was drawn, everyone present felt an unparalleled Sword Intent erupting from the void.
Many cultivators also had their external magic swords ring out, seemingly echoing the intent sword, and they almost flew out of their armor.
However, the Sword Ancestor had no intention of manipulating the swords of other cultivators; he only wanted to use his sword of intent to eliminate Evil Qi.
Besides unleashing unparalleled Sword Intent, the sword strike also seemed to contain a layer of seemingly indestructible will.
The Sword Intent was unparalleled, even slicing open a broken black abyss in the void ahead, and all the Evil Qi was cut into the black abyss.
Everyone was shocked to see this.
The Sword Ancestor's attack power was so great that it could destroy the war domain space maintained by the will of the two realms. It seems that although he has just broken through, he will definitely transform into an extremely powerful Dao Integration expert.
"This person's Sword Dao talent is truly astonishing, but I wonder what exactly is this gray-black Evil Qi emanating from his forehead?"
A Dao-Merging cultivator murmured.
At the center of the Tribulation Lightning, Ning Qi also looked down into the void abyss below.
His eyes gleamed, equally curious as he gazed at the Evil Qi.
Ning Qi personally manipulated the tribulation lightning, which condensed the rules of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Vast Realm, and the Boundary Sea, allowing Sword Ancestor and others to break through.
The Sword Ancestor experienced eighteen Tribulation Lightning and benefited the most.
Ning Qi was always concerned about the Evil Qi sealed within the Sword Ancestor's body and the injury he suffered from the Great Dao. Therefore, he used tribulation lightning to help him reshape his body into a Dao-integrated form and cleanse his Primordial Spirit and soul.
Firstly, it was to allow the Sword Ancestor to fully recover, and secondly, it was to expel the Evil Qi sealed within the Sword Ancestor's body.
The effect was quite good. The Great Dao injury in the Sword Ancestor's body had been completely healed. In the end, it was Ning Qi who used the power of tribulation lightning to force out the Evil Qi in the Sword Ancestor's body, which is why the Five Elements Divine Chains he planted on the Sword Ancestor's forehead automatically detached and dissipated.
But now it seems that this Evil Qi is truly bizarre, as even the eighteen layers of tribulation lightning could only separate it from the Sword Ancestor's body, but could not annihilate it.
Below.
The void abyss created by the Sword Ancestor was slowly writhing, rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Huh!"
The crowd gazing at this spot let out a unified gasp of surprise.
Beside the ever-repairing abyss, wisps of Evil Qi, like gray-black tentacles, crawled out again along the abyss's walls.
The Sword Intent of the Sword Ancestor was completely ineffective against it!
Upon seeing this, the Sword Ancestor's sword-like eyes darkened slightly.
Ning Qi gave him a reassuring look. The Sword Ancestor nodded, now he could only entrust the handling of this Evil Qi to Ning Qi.
He touched his forehead, where there was no longer a trace of Evil Qi. He had suffered from Evil Qi for ten thousand years, but now he was finally free from it.
He felt the damage to his Dao caused by the Evil Qi within him, which had now been fully restored.
Sword Ancestor was extremely grateful to Ning Qi!
He couldn't feel genuine joy until he saw the Evil Qi completely eliminated.
Ning Qi gazed at the gray-black Evil Qi that was overflowing from the abyss again, and pointed his finger, gently stirring the tribulation lightning pill spinning in front of him.
Despite the recent tribulation, the size of this Great Tribulation Lightning showed no signs of decreasing.
On the contrary, because it absorbed the power of the rules of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Vast Realm, and the Boundary Sea once again, it became even more condensed.
Ning Qi created it, and in Ning Qi's presence, it was like an obedient and loyal dog.
As Ning Qi manipulated it, the entire Tribulation Lightning Pill immediately spat out a bolt of tribulation lightning downwards.
This bolt of lightning was as thick as a water vat, and it shimmered with the purest yang light that could exorcise demons and purify impurities, lashing out at the gray-black Evil Qi like a whip.
Crash!
The two collided in the void, but strangely, no sound of fierce fighting was heard.
Under everyone's gaze, one side was the supremely powerful and yang tribulation lightning, shining like a divine arrow, while the other side's gray-black Evil Qi brought an ominous feeling that could not be ignored.
The two intertwined, and suddenly, the dark gray Evil Qi opened its massive maw, enveloping the Tribulation Lightning.
Then, like a maggot clinging to a bone, it actually clung to the tribulation lightning and climbed up along it, rushing quickly towards the tribulation clouds in the sky and towards Ning Qi at the center.
Everyone gasped in shock. What on earth was that?
Even the most powerful and yang tribulation lightning couldn't destroy it; in fact, it seemed as if it was using the tribulation lightning.
Ning Qi, who was truly fighting against Evil Qi, sensed more of the situation.
Not only was the tribulation lightning ineffective against Evil Qi, but in Ning Qi's perception, it seemed to have quickly adapted to the tribulation lightning and begun to take the initiative, quietly absorbing its power.
The Evil Qi grew even larger, eventually reaching above the thunderclouds.
As soon as it entered the thundercloud, the entire thundercloud began to tremble.
Slurp!
The Evil Qi seemed to emit a subtle sound.
The next second, the Evil Qi scattered, seemingly turning into almost invisible particles, dispersing in all directions and merging into the tribulation clouds.
At this moment, the Tribulation Lightning Pill in front of Ning Qi began to rotate automatically, emitting bursts of thunderous sounds.
All the onlookers saw was Lei Dan releasing boundless lightning in the sky, transforming into electric snakes that swiftly traversed the tribulation clouds.
Sizzle!
The entire sky of lightning was repelling the gray-black particles that were trying to merge into it.
But the other party is like a virus that has entered the body; it's not so easy to get rid of.
Ning Qi finally made a move.
In the sky, a magnificent will seemed to awaken and join the tribulation clouds.
Once Ning Qi's will joined in, combined with the tribulation lightning, it forced out the gray-black virus particles.
The gray-black particles clung together again, seemingly filled with endless hatred for Ning Qi.
It gathers and disperses intermittently, constantly moving through the clouds of calamity, its purpose unknown.
Ning Qi was also very curious about this strange being that seemed to have its own will, but he couldn't figure out its details in a short time.
While continuing to manipulate the Tribulation Lightning to pursue the gray-black Evil Qi, Ning Qi also contacted the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
"Lord of the Realm, do you know what this thing is?"
To Ning Qi's surprise, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, which should have been well-informed, did not provide an answer this time.
"Kid, where did you find this thing?"
Ning Qi replied, "When I discovered it, it had been lurking within the body of the Sword Ancestor of my Wuji Sword Sect for tens of thousands of years."
Upon hearing this, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm seemed to be pondering something as well.
"This thing is rather strange; it probably didn't come from outside. You'd better put it away as soon as possible to prevent it from growing stronger."
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi had no choice but to do as he was told.
Unbeknownst to him and the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, as the gray-black Evil Qi raged, the illusory figure of the will of the Vast Realm, hiding nearby, had its eyes faintly glowing.
The illusory image of the Vast Realm's will, gazing at the gray-black Evil Qi that could gather and disperse, adapt to and absorb tribulation lightning, seemed somewhat doubtful as it said:
"Could this Evil Qi be the legendary Boundless Evil Qi?"
He didn't seem to know much about it either.
However, the will of the Vast Realm recalled a story once told by the Holy Ancestor.
The Boundary Sea holds both great opportunities and great dangers!
Among them, there is a particularly eerie Evil Qi called the Boundless Evil Qi.
It Tiansheng endowed with destructive power, and can even threaten the existence and extinction of the spirit world.
What is immeasurable?
That is, this Evil Qi can continuously absorb various forms of energy to make itself stronger; that is one reason.
Secondly, once it gains momentum, it can never be eradicated!
The will of the Vast Realm recalled this story it had heard from the Holy Ancestor, but it didn't know if it was true.
But looking at the Evil Qi that could fight Ning Qi, he felt that it was somewhat similar to the Boundless Evil Qi.
If it really is that thing, even he, as an opponent of the Mountain and Sea Realm, hopes that Ning Qi can completely destroy it.
Otherwise, if left unchecked, it will sooner or later affect the survival of their two great spirit realms.
Even though the two spirit realms have launched a spirit realm war, they may not be able to truly eliminate each other.
However, if that is truly Boundless Evil Qi, the spirit world could very well decline and be destroyed because of it!
The illusory image of the Vast Realm's will silently gazed at the sky. Fortunately, Ning Qi was exceptionally helpful.
He saw Ning Qi fully activate the power of the tribulation clouds. The entire tribulation cloud in the sky sometimes resembled crashing waves, and sometimes resembled a towering mountain, constantly suppressing the Evil Qi that had begun to flee in all directions.
Even the Sword Ancestor hadn't expected that the Evil Qi within him would be so troublesome.
Even Ning Qi, nowadays, cannot easily defeat him.
After about fifteen minutes, Ning Qi finally managed to trap the Evil Qi.
His eyes closed and opened again, his Golden Eyes of Illusion activated, gazing at the mass of gray-black Evil Qi.
From the perspective of the Golden Eyes of Truth, Ning Qi seemed to sense something different, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it; it was a mysterious and enigmatic feeling.
This item will be of great use to him!
Ning Qi felt this way for no reason.
He suddenly remembered the golden key he had obtained in the Mysterious Realm.
He had shown it to the Sword Ancestor before, and at that time the golden key had the power to deter this Evil Qi.
Realizing this, Ning Qi immediately connected his thoughts to his storage space and retrieved the golden key from it.
His spiritual consciousness, wrapped in a golden key, cleaved through the gray-black Evil Qi like a sword.
Instantly, the gray-black Evil Qi was split in two, separating strangely.
Seeing this, Ning Qi was taken aback.
The wills of the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm were also taken aback.
"And what is that key? How can it be used to counter this Evil Qi?"
They couldn't reach a conclusion either, but they once again held Ning Qi in higher regard.
This guy is truly blessed with incredible luck, acquiring items that even they can't fathom!
The gazes of both realms flickered slightly.
Judging from this, this guy will probably become the biggest variable in the war of the spirit world.
Not only that Evil Qi and that golden key, but even Ning Qi himself—they had to admit—were becoming increasingly unable to understand him!
Whether this is good or bad, it's hard for the wills of both realms to say.
After all, although Ning Qi has indeed become very strong and has broken free from their control, Ning Qi is still relatively weak in terms of the true essence of the will of the two realms.
Moreover, the three patriarchs have not yet entered the realm of war.
Ning Qi's current strength is at most comparable to the sect leaders of the three strongest sects in the two realms...
Whether we catch up with the three patriarchs or even them, we are still far from qualified!
Ning Qi used his spiritual sense to manipulate the golden key several times, striking the gray-black Evil Qi, finally suppressing the guy's arrogant arrogance.
At this moment, Ning Qi divided these Evil Qi into several portions and collected them one by one into the evil-sealing bottles made of Spirit Stone.
Finally, Ning Qi linked the golden key back to the Evil-Sealing Bottle and put it back into his storage space.
As the Evil Qi was subdued, Ning Qi once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
Ning Qi glanced at the tribulation clouds that still retained a considerable amount of energy, and at the tribulation lightning pills that were constantly swirling around him.
"Shouldn't the tribulation lightning be able to be collected as well?"
A bold idea, one that no one in the world had ever considered, popped into Ning Qi's mind.
He can now manipulate Tribulation Lightning, and this great lightning pill was also formed from the residual Tribulation Lightning.
Ning Qi's heart stirred.
Immediately, everyone below saw the tribulation clouds in the sky rapidly shrinking towards the center.
However, the next second, to their astonishment, the calamity clouds shrank to half their original size and then stopped.
They saw that, beneath the clouds of tribulation, Ning Qi's subordinates had all taken to the sky.
Of course, it was no longer the Sword Ancestor and others who had just undergone tribulation, but the Xuanzhen Domain and Fuyou Domain armies that had always followed Ning Qi.
Sword Ancestor and Qi Keqing landed on the ground, and stared in surprise at the cultivators under their command who had suddenly taken flight.
As for the other cultivators, they were all dumbfounded.
What's going on? Are they also undergoing tribulation? This is Tribulation Lightning exclusive to those who have reached the Dao Integration stage!
Whether in the Mountain and Sea Realm or the Vast Realm, those who undergo tribulation have always only advanced to the Dao Integration Realm through the Integration Stage. Cultivators below the Integration Stage have absolutely no chance of undergoing tribulation.
Because cultivators below the level of the Two Realms Integration stage cannot survive the Tribulation Lightning due to their lack of mastery and comprehension of the rules, the fragility of their physical bodies, and the dispersion of their spiritual consciousness.
Of course, in those endless and distant legends, cultivators who embark on the path of cultivation may undergo tribulation.
But that's just a legend!
Ning Qi watched as the cultivators from the two regions flew into the sky.
He certainly wasn't asking them to undergo the tribulations that cultivators at the Dao Integration stage undergo. However, with his current control over the tribulation lightning, he could transform the unused energy in the tribulation clouds into some Tribulation Lightning that everyone could withstand, to help them cleanse their physical bodies Primordial Spirit, and lay a better foundation for their cultivation.
Under the questioning gazes of the crowd, Ning Qi decisively waved his hand!
Rumble!
Above the sky, the tribulation clouds instantly generated thousands upon thousands of bolts of lightning, which swept towards the cultivators flying high into the sky.
They were struck by lightning almost simultaneously.
Everyone was bathed in lightning, grimacing as they resisted, experiencing both pain and pleasure!
Impurities within them were constantly expelled by the lightning, their physical bodies were continuously tempered by the tribulation lightning, their Primordial Spirit became more crystalline, and their spiritual consciousness became more refined.
After this scene unfolded, all the cultivators below the Dao Integration Realm who were watching below were filled with envy and jealousy.
Damn, following Ning Qi is just too wonderful!
All the cultivators at the peak of the Integration Realm safely passed through the Ninefold Tribulation Lightning, and they will surely become the top Dao Integration Realms in the future.
It's one thing for cultivators at the peak of the Integration Realm, but now even cultivators at the Integration and Primordial Spirit Realms are included!
Damn, does it have to be this extravagant?
Everyone felt a pang of sadness.
Even if you're going to undergo tribulation, could you at least find a place where they can't see you?
Although they were displeased, all the cultivators realized that Ning Qi and his subordinates would inevitably become a formidable force in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
The Xuanzhen Domain where Ning Qi is located is currently just a small, extremely remote spiritual domain, but everyone has already seen its soaring future!
All of this was Ning Qi's sudden emergence!
