Becoming One

The cultivators of the Vast Realm silently twitched their lips, chanting in unison.

They chanted so fast that their words flowed together into a single syllable, making it impossible for outsiders to discern what they were saying.

If Ning Qi hadn't forced the Holy Ancestor to use the Nine-Character Demon-Subduing Mantra, Ning Qi wouldn't have known what the numerous cultivators of the Vast Realm were chanting.

"It turns out that the old man had been prepared all along."

Upon seeing this, Ning Qi immediately understood how to deal with these Twisted Monsters.

He immediately gathered all his strength, roared like a lion, and howled straight to the sky.

"Roar!"

In the void, the sound waves spread, giving rise to a gigantic lion's head.

Fearless Lion's Roar!

The roar shook the heavens, and the sound waves rippled upwards like waves.

Although Ning Qi's Method Formula was not as powerful as the Nine-Character Demon-Subduing Mantra used by the Holy Ancestor's avatar, it still contained various Daoist sounds for exorcising demons and warding off evil, which could just counteract the demonic sounds of the ten giant monsters.

In an instant, all ten monsters were forced to retreat by the impact of the lion's roar.

However, the howls they uttered became even more furious and chaotic.

Fortunately, Ning Qi didn't expect to wipe out these troublesome guys with just one Lion's Roar. His Lion's Roar was enough to break through the Demon-Dispelling Sound and restore everyone's senses.

He glanced down and, sure enough, as the lion's roar was heard, the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm who had been lost in thought all snapped back to reality.

The cultivators of the Vast Realm could have seized this opportunity to launch a fatal attack on the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

But they never expected that the other side would come up with a solution so quickly.

"That guy ruined our plans again!"

Jiang Yingchu, the sect leader of Haoran Immortal Sect, glared at Ning Qi with considerable annoyance, but the next second he had no choice but to continue fighting Gong Heavenly Dao.

Ning Qi turned around and saw Zhao Yujun once again slaying the monster with her sword.

However, no matter how she attacked, even if she unleashed hundreds or thousands of sword strikes in a short period of time, and even if she chopped these Twisted Monsters into dust, they would quickly regenerate the next moment.

"Let me handle this. I've just created a new Divine Ability that might be able to deal with them," Ning Qi said.

Zhao Yujun was taken aback.

"You just created a new Divine Ability?"

Are you that confident?

Ning Qi didn't waste any words, pointing to the ten enormous, Twisted Monsters in the sky.

Hundreds of sword pellets reappeared, filling the void.

However, this time, the sword pellet was different from before; it transformed into the Divine Ability he used in his final battle against the Holy Ancestor's clone.

"Ten Thousand Swords Open Lotus!"

The sword pellets of rules in the void instantly transformed into blooming golden lotuses, with characters swirling around them, faintly possessing some of the power of the Holy Ancestor's Nine-Character Demon-Subduing Mantra.

Ning Qi had previously used this sword lotus to absorb the light released by the Holy Ancestor's Nine-Character Demon-Subduing Mantra, so since the recitation of mantras by cultivators of the Vast Realm has a restraining effect on the power of these monsters, this sword lotus should also have an effect.

Ning Qi flicked his finger.

The sword lotus blossoms shot into the sky together, unleashing unparalleled attack power, and were also imbued with a light that could subdue demons and purify impurities.

Whoosh!

Once the sword lotus reached the ten enormous monsters, it changed form again and exploded one by one.

Above the sky, ten enormous monsters were completely surrounded by clusters of sword lotuses.

People gaze at the sky.

Above the sky, at this moment, it seemed as if all the divine images appeared, with flowers flying in the sky, full of beauty.

The exploded sword lotus also split into smaller sword lotuses, which transformed into lotus flowers and entered the bodies of the ten monsters one by one.

Bang!

The ten monsters were instantly blown to pieces again!

Lotus blossoms filled the Tiansheng, catching the shattered fragments and refining them one by one.

"!!!"

Zhao Yujun, the sect leader of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect, was almost stunned.

She turned and stared at Ning Qi beside her, her azure eyes blinking as if to say, "Is this the Divine Ability technique you just created?"

Who could create Divine Ability so easily and with such destructive force?

You should know that those ten monsters were actually formed from hundreds of Twisted Monsters.

Now, to be simultaneously annihilated by a newly created Divine Ability, Zhao Yujun was utterly at a loss for words.

Ning Qi didn't have time to talk to Zhao Yujun.

His mind was still focused on manipulating the tiny lotus flowers that filled the void in the sky.

When these monsters numbered in the hundreds, they didn't have a clear division of strength like the cultivators.

However, each one is comparable in strength to a Dao Integration cultivator.

When they eventually merged into ten heads, the strength of each head directly increased to the level of the strongest immortal sect masters, such as Zhao Yujun, Gong Heavenly Dao, and Jiang Yingchu.

If Ning Qi hadn't survived the unprecedented thirty-six Heavenly Tribulation and absorbed power from all directions, Ning Qi wouldn't have dared to guarantee that he could withstand these ten monsters without using his own power.

Above the sky, Ning Qi's sword lotus Divine Ability had not yet dissipated, dyeing the sky with a dazzling array of colors.

All the lotus flowers spun and closed, still erasing the remnants of those monsters.

After a few breaths, the sword lotus completely disappeared from the sky, leaving the sky clear and seemingly devoid of anything.

Ning Qi's expression remained somewhat solemn.

Seeing this, Zhao Yujun's heart skipped a beat. That sword lotus spell was so powerful just now, could it be that it still couldn't kill ten monsters?

Jiang Yingchu, the sect leader of the Haoran Immortal Sect who was engaged in battle below, was also paying attention to Ning Qi's movements.

When he saw Ning Qi's Sword Lotus Divine Ability, he was also startled, because he could sense the aura of the Ancestor from it.

What exactly happened? Why does Ning Qi's magic contain the power of the ancestor?

Jiang Yingchu was very puzzled.

However, he didn't seem worried about the disappearance of those monsters.

"Unfortunately, even if your Divine Ability contain the strength of the Holy Ancestor, you cannot destroy them, because they originate from there and are specifically designed to harm cultivators like us..."

Since the Holy Ancestor's avatar has summoned these Twisted Monsters from the Boundary Sea to the War Realm to help, they are naturally not so easy to destroy!

His thoughts had barely settled when something changed again high above.

A fierce wind surged, and countless dust particles seemed to be squeezed out of the void.

Zhao Yujun's azure eyes, as blue as water, widened involuntarily.

Ning Qi was also taken aback.

It was unclear whether the gale was controlled by the dust or whether the gale was controlling the dust.

In the next instant, all the dust instantly coalesced, and a colossal object appeared in the sky, casting a terrifying shadow.

All the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm were momentarily stunned, staring at the colossal creature in the sky. Their mouths gaped open in shock.

Because the monsters in the sky are no longer hundreds or even ten, but have completely merged into one monster!

The monster was surrounded by a ring of black wind, making it difficult to see clearly.

But the glimpse of his appearance made all the cultivators feel that he was exceptionally evil.

Their individual appearances were already disgusting to everyone, but when they merged into ten powerful monsters, they became even more terrifying and repulsive. At this moment, every glance felt like witnessing the most horrific scene in hell, if hell even existed.

Above the sky, countless fragments of the evil monster's body were fused together.

A powerful aura emanated from it, as if the entire sky were pressing down, bringing a sense of despair to everyone and drawing out the negative emotions within all the cultivators.

Fear, sadness, anger, hatred, jealousy, and so on...

Below, the cultivators from the Vast Realm were chanting mantras more rapidly, as if they were finding it increasingly difficult to resist the aura released by the monster.

Even with the help of the sacred teachings passed down from the Holy Ancestor, they were still quite terrified when they saw this monster. It was a feeling of disgust from the heart and a physical discomfort.

Even if this monster was summoned by the Holy Ancestor to help their Vast Realm.

Among the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm, some with weak wills and malicious intentions suddenly seemed to let out a painful roar and actually attacked the cultivators beside them.

This scene immediately threw the Battlefield into chaos!

Fortunately, those affected were all relatively weak in cultivation, and a nearby cultivator with higher cultivation immediately subdued them.

If this continues, it's possible that even high-level cultivators might be affected and turn against their own comrades.

Zhao Yujun, the sect leader of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect, said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Ning, it has become even stronger this time. It will be extremely difficult for us to deal with it even if we join forces! Moreover, its influence on our cultivators is also growing stronger!"

She finished speaking quickly and took out a token.

It was an exquisite ocean pearl, imprinted with a pattern of ocean currents.

Zhao Yujun poured his Law Power into it, and immediately, the illusory image of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm appeared beside the two of them.

He didn't ask any questions when he appeared. Anyone who saw such a huge, ugly thing above would immediately understand why he had been summoned here.

The phantom of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will also look grim at this moment.

He said directly, "Don't worry, I've already informed those two. However, it will take them some time to enter the War Zone. Until then, I'll help you fight this guy."

Seeing him appear, Zhao Yujun felt slightly relieved.

After all, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm is, after all, an embodiment of a realm. It is knowledgeable and experienced, and surely it has a way.

"Lord of the Realm, what exactly is this thing?"

Zhao Yujun couldn't help but ask.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm quickly transmitted its message to the two, saying, "I am not entirely sure where these creatures originated, but I know that what we see before us is only a weak branch; they are not truly evil beings."

"Not a true evil object?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi asked in surprise.

If what we see before us isn't a true evil being, then how terrifying and powerful must a truly evil being be?

The creature before us already poses a threat to almost all Dao Integration Realms. If there were even stronger ones, wouldn't they be able to directly threaten powerful spirit realms like the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm?

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm did not elaborate further, because the enormous monster high above had already swooped down.

"Haha, hehe, kill, hiss, gurgle, snort..."

Before they even landed, all sorts of eerie cries shattered the tranquility of everyone's hearts.

Suddenly, the illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will raised its hand, and a portion of the Mountain and Sea Realm's power in the entire Central Region was immediately drawn away and swept towards the monster descending from above.

Instantly, multiple interwoven nets of boundary energy appeared in the sky, catching the monster.

The monster seemed to be bound by a spider web, constantly bobbing up and down in the air and struggling.

The illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will spoke again, "Continue to kill them quickly. As long as you kill them enough times, and I isolate their power, I will eventually be able to completely obliterate them!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi and Zhao Yujun had no choice but to unleash various Divine Ability powers and spells once again, continuously slaying the bound monster.

Once, three times, five times, ten times...

Even after being killed ten more times, the enormous monster could still reassemble itself.

It seems to be indestructible, its vitality is so tenacious that it can even be reborn from ashes.

Just as the illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will was about to bind it again with the power of the realm, suddenly, its net of realm power was torn apart.

"Don't even think about binding him anymore. I've already given you ten chances!"

A phantom appeared in the air, a full mile away from the monster.

The illusory image of the will of the Vast Realm reappeared.

Its appearance tore apart the boundary force network of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will, allowing the monster to continue its slaughter of the Mountain and Sea Realm's cultivators.

If it weren't for Ning Qi's presence, that monster would have already killed more than half of the cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Unfortunately, just when Ning Qi seemed helpless, the illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will suddenly intervened.

The illusory image of the will of the Vast Realm naturally could not sit idly by.

Otherwise, the Holy Ancestor's avatar would have wasted its own power to attract this monster, wouldn't that have been a waste?

However, he just happened to appear at this exact moment, not earlier or later.

It's unclear whether it was because helping the Holy Ancestor's clone summon monsters consumed too much power, or if there were other reasons.

The illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will also realize this, and he quickly said, "I'm afraid this monster is about to reach its limit of destruction count, otherwise the Will of the Vast Realm wouldn't intervene now. Hurry up, I'll hold it off!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yujun Ning Qi immediately quickened the pace of their attack.

With their strength, they could attack several times in a second, but the monster needed time to recover each time. Every time they killed it, they had to wait for it to recover before it would have any effect; otherwise, it would be completely useless.

Sure enough, this time the monster took half again as long to recover.

The will of the Vast Realm also began to intervene at this moment.

He wasn't targeting Ning Qi and Zhao Yujun, but only the illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will.

Whenever the phantom of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will bind the monster, he would dissipate the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will.

Later, the two sides stopped caring about the monster and started fighting each other.

In the void, the clashing of boundary forces made the entire Central Region somewhat unstable.

As for that enormous monster, it would become even more frenzied and powerful each time Ning Qi and Zhao Yujun killed it.

It also seemed to draw strength from the attacks of the two.

Freed from the constraints of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will, it directly charged towards the two.

The two of them had inflicted so much damage on it that its primary target shifted to them.

That stems from its own various negative emotions, which outsiders cannot interfere with.

Seeing this, the will of the Vast Realm could only curse. If this monster had directly attacked other cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Realm, it would have already taken care of many of them!

Suddenly, he had a risky idea.

He secretly separated a wisp of his own will and let it burrow into the monster.

A barely perceptible wisp of spiritual will entered the monster's body.

Suddenly, the monster seemed to taste something delicious.

It roared again, its body expanding by a tenth, unleashing a powerful shockwave from within.

This forced Ning Qi and Zhao Yujun's attacks to collapse.

The next second, it suddenly transformed as if it were teleporting, passing straight past Ning Qi and Zhao Yujun, and heading towards the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm below!

This scene caused Zhao Yujun to suddenly lose her composure and also startled Ning Qi.

If the opponent doesn't fight the two of them but instead targets the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm, the destructive power would be terrifying.

He could disregard the other cultivators, but Ning Qi was unwilling to let his own men be devoured by this monster.
