Central Domain Shattered

The second paradise space summoned by the Holy Ancestor's clone has shattered.

The three stood in the void, with fragments of space constantly falling around them.

These shattered fragments of space resemble large pieces of glass, some clear, some blurry.

The three people could see their own reflections through the fragments, as well as the scenery outside.

The Holy Ancestor's avatar, holding an ancient bronze tablet, appeared within the Central Region.

As soon as he appeared, he waved his sleeves.

Instantly, a massive, simple sleeve descended from the entire central sky, as if the sky had been torn apart, revealing a gap.

From within the cuff, an immense suction force emanated, forming a tornado that even caused ripples in the space around it.

Whoosh whoosh!

The enormous sleeve was aimed at the cultivators of the Vast Realm to the north. All the cultivators of the Vast Realm, who were still looking up at the sky, were sucked into the sleeve at the same time.

The first to be absorbed were cultivators at the Primordial Spirit Realm, followed by those at the Body Realm, and then those at the Dao Realm.

Finally, Jiang Yingchu, the sect leader of the Haoran Immortal Sect, struck Gong Heavenly Dao, who was fighting him, with a palm strike, and then flew into the sleeve of the Holy Ancestor's clone.

All the cultivators from the Vast Realm in the entire Central Region were gone, leaving only the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

Ning Qi and Hai Zu's clone also appeared in the Central Region.

In addition, the illusory images of the wills of the two realms also appeared at the same time, landing beside them respectively.

The Sea Ancestor's clone was slightly surprised when the Holy Ancestor's clone suddenly used the "Sleeve Universe Technique" to take away all the cultivators of the Vast Realm, but he did not stop it.

Ning Qi looked at the half-empty Central Region, then glanced at the Holy Ancestor's avatar, and felt that this was indeed something he would do.

The Holy Ancestor's clone participated in the battle twice. The first time, he chose to summon a Dao-merging phantom, which was thwarted by Ning Qi. He then summoned Twisted Monsters from the Boundary Sea, which was also defeated by Ning Qi.

The second time, he sent out an avatar, intending to continue helping the cultivators of the Vast Realm to win the victory in seizing the Central Region, but unexpectedly, the Sea Ancestor of the Mountain and Sea Realm also sent out an avatar.

With the presence of Hai Zu's avatar and Ning Qi, even the Holy Ancestor's avatar knew that no matter what he did, he could not help the cultivators of the Vast Realm, let alone allow them to achieve victory.

Therefore, instead of doing that, it would be better to just take all the cultivators from the Vast Realm away, which would at least save their lives.

He is a revered patriarch in the vast world, and he would never allow his men to die continuously on the front lines.

He was not the kind of ambitious person who would get others involved in a war to benefit himself.

The Sea Ancestor's avatar blinked her pair of icy eyes, her gaze as clear as water, and she said with a hint of emotion:

"No wonder you are called the Holy Ancestor. This makes me think more highly of you. Your Vast Realm is more humane than our Mountain and Sea Realm!"

The Holy Ancestor's avatar smiled and replied meaningfully:

"What good is being humane? War will not be prevented just because you are humane. For example, the fact that your Mountain and Sea Realm launched a Spirit Realm War against my Vast Realm proves this point, doesn't it?"

The Sea Ancestor's clone hesitated for a moment before saying:

"People in the Spirit Realm are not in control of their own destiny. Now that you've taken away the cultivators from your Vast Realm, aren't you afraid that the cultivators from my Mountain and Sea Realm will completely take over the Central Region?"

The Holy Ancestor's avatar smiled again.

"Now that I've taken them, I'll take on the rest of the battle myself!"

His previously hunched and aged figure suddenly straightened up, and his white hair even showed signs of turning black.

"This battle, which should have been fought directly by us, is now being sacrificed with their lives."

The Sea Ancestor's clone gazed down.

Within the Central Region, only cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm remain.

All the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm looked up at the Sea Ancestor's avatar, seemingly waiting for her to give instructions.

After all, if the enemies are gone, how can they fight? They can't exactly gang up on the Holy Ancestor's clone, can they?

"I don't possess his ability to conceal one's presence in a hidden space. You should all find a corner to hide in. The rest of the battle is none of your concern; leave it to me."

The Sea Ancestor's avatar uttered a clear, cold voice that resounded throughout the entire arena. Upon hearing this, many cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm showed joy on their faces.

"Does this mean the war is over?" someone asked naively.

Someone nearby immediately reminded them, "It's not that simple. This is only a temporary pause in our battle. If the two patriarchs completely conquer the entire war realm and invade the Vast Realm, then we will have to continue fighting."

"If that's the case, our danger will be greatly reduced, and we'll actually reap quite a harvest."

Among them were also battle maniacs who had gained considerable benefits from combat and wanted to gain even more.

If the Mountain and Sea Realm can break through the boundary of the Vast Realm, then they can continue to fight inside the Vast Realm, and their gains will be even greater!

Ning Qi looked down at the cultivators below, hearing their various whispers.

The cultivators under Hai Zu, led by Zhao Yujun, had retreated to the side and were quietly resting.

The cultivators under the Mountain Ancestor, led by Gong Heavenly Dao, mostly wore expressions of joy.

After all, they had previously believed that since the Mountain Ancestor hadn't sent an avatar here, but the Sea Ancestor's avatar had, they would inevitably be the weakest side in the war.

The fact that they no longer need to fight is already a great thing for them.

As for the two armies under Ning Qi's command, Sword Ancestor and Qi Keqing watched him silently.

Ning Qi nodded to the two of them, then gestured with his chin towards Zhao Yujun.

The two immediately understood and ordered their army to approach Zhao Yujun's troops.

Seeing this, Zhao Yujun didn't say anything.

In the eyes of these cultivators under the Sea Ancestor, Ning Qi's participation in the battle alongside the Sea Ancestor's avatar represented the Sea Ancestor's avatar's recognition of Ning Qi.

Therefore, Ning Qi's subordinates were also friends of these Sea Ancestors, so the two groups could naturally get along.

Once all the cultivators fell silent, the entire Central Region was left with only the desolation of the aftermath of war.

"This suits me perfectly. To determine the victor between the two realms, a few of us fighting is enough; there's no need to involve other cultivators."

The Sea Ancestor's clone suddenly spoke.

Ning Qi and the Holy Ancestor's clone were both stunned for a moment.

It turns out that Haizu held roughly the same thought in his heart.

Only Ning Qi was pondering whether this situation was good or bad for him.

The bad thing is that if the cultivators from both realms stop fighting, he will have more enemies to face when he turns against them.

Moreover, he now has no choice but to participate in the battle, which exposes him to the sight of several patriarchs, making Ning Qi somewhat uneasy.

The good thing is that Ning Qi no longer needs to worry about the lives of his cultivators, and can fight with peace of mind.

"Well, since you two have chosen to fight and let you decide the winner, I'll go down there too."

Ning Qi still said those words.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he caught a whiff of a delicate fragrance, a scent only a woman would have.

The Sea Ancestor's clone instantly teleported behind him, grabbed his collar with one hand, and gently exhaled a breath of orchid-like breath.

"They can all rest, but you can't!"

Ning Qi felt the icy temperature of the fist at his collar, sensed the orchid's aura, sniffed, and looked miserable.

As expected, it was impossible for him to hide aside and wait for these old ancestors to fight each other to the death.

There was no way around it; he was simply too outstanding. He had long since caught the eye of several patriarchs and the will of the two realms, so it was impossible for them to leave him alone.

"Fine, fine, I'll join the fight. Hai Zu, you don't need to carry me around like a chick in front of everyone."

Upon hearing this, Hai Zu's clone immediately released Ning Qi.

"Don't even think about slacking off. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't have the guts, courage, or opportunity to fight us. If you don't take this opportunity to get to know us better, how can you possibly surpass us?"

The Sea Ancestor's clone gave instructions.

Ning Qi turned his head to look at her and found that the Sea Ancestor's clone had an extremely serious expression at the moment, and a pair of cold, icy eyes were also staring at him.

Their eyes met, and Ning Qi saw through the coldness and madness on her surface, seemingly glimpsing the softness in her heart.

She was like a senior sister in my cultivation sect, patiently guiding me.

"Haizu, aren't you afraid I'll surpass you?" Ning Qi scratched his head.

The Sea Ancestor's avatar scoffed lightly at first, then said calmly, "Boy, if you think you can surpass us, you'll need to cultivate for at least ten thousand years!"

"Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day!" Ning Qi responded firmly.

The Sea Ancestor's clone extended its jade finger and lightly flicked Ning Qi's forehead.

"Suit yourself. If you can truly surpass us, then it will signify the arrival of a new era."

She paused, her gaze seemingly filled with a complex emotion. "If that day truly comes, perhaps it would be a good thing for me. I look forward to that day arriving as soon as possible."

At this moment, there seemed to be a hint of weariness in her voice, a weariness brought on by the passage of time.

Ning Qi gazed at her exquisitely beautiful yet icy face, sensing that Hai Zu likely harbored a deeply unforgettable regret.

"Uh, are you two finished talking?"

The Holy Ancestor's avatar had finished communicating with the will of the Vast Realm beside him, and then spoke to Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor's avatar.

Hai Zu's clone stepped forward, "Tell me, how do we play next?"

The Holy Ancestor's avatar laughed and said, "You should understand."

"Okay, let's do it that way!"

Ning Qi immediately saw the two of them attack simultaneously.

They each extended a palm, pointing towards the north and south sides of the central region.

Two terrifying energies crashed towards the boundary walls on the north and south sides.

Meanwhile, the wills of both realms were not idle either, and they joined in by unleashing their realm power.

The entire Central Region trembled violently under the influence of the two ancestral avatars and the power of the will of the two realms.

A major earthquake caused spatial disorder.

However, the wills of both realms quickly used their own realm power to maintain the stability of the entire war realm.

Click!

At the edge of his vision, Ning Qi saw that the boundary wall of the Central Region was constantly cracking like shattered glass!

Click, click!

It's unclear how long this lasted, but the entire ring-shaped boundary wall surrounding the central region was now completely covered in cracks.

Suddenly, the Sea Ancestor Saint Ancestor's clones all withdrew the hands that had released the power and looked at Ning Qi at the same time.

Ning Qi, being stared at by the two clones, couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me? We've reached the final step, continue!"

Before Hai Zu could speak, the Holy Ancestor's avatar coughed and said:

"Boy, are you genuinely unaware, or are you pretending not to understand? This final shattering power must be delivered by someone other than us."

Ning Qi was taken aback. "What kind of logic is that?"

The Sea Ancestor's clone then said, "He's right. If he and I were to break down the boundary, it might lead to terrible changes."

Ning Qi frowned slightly, not understanding what they meant by this change.

Could it be that the shattering of the last remaining boundary wall of the Central Region within this War Zone will lead to something terrible?

He hadn't figured out the intricacies of the situation yet, so he had no choice but to take action.

"Fine, that's exactly what I like to do. Since you're unwilling to deliver the final blow, then I'll do it!"

As Ning Qi spoke, he flicked his finger.

Instantly, the rules at his fingertips condensed, forming a sword pellet.

The sword pellet flew through the air and swiftly struck the distant boundary wall.

Click!

Instantly, the last remaining barrier of this war zone shattered with a series of cracking sounds, falling apart one after another like dominoes.

With the shattering of the central boundary wall, the entire war domain was now free of any barrier, transforming into a completely open war space!

Rumble!

The entire war realm was roaring, with endless Spiritual Qi erupting and countless rules of power flowing through it. At the same time, a considerable amount of power was drawn from the Boundary Sea and integrated into the war realm.

Amidst the great earthquake, Spiritual Qi flowed like mist, and rules swirled like the wind.

Ning Qi discovered that because he delivered the final blow to the Central Domain Boundary Wall, the entire War Domain seemed to be feeding back a kind of power to him.

Countless streams of Spiritual Qi, the power of rules, and the power of the Boundary Sea surged toward him.

His newly attained Dao Integration cultivation level immediately increased again at an extremely rapid pace.

He broke through from the early stage of Dao Integration, entered the middle stage of Dao Integration, and then proceeded to the late stage of Dao Integration without any obstacles, finally stopping at the Perfection of Dao Integration.

Ning Qi opened his eyes wide and glanced in surprise at the clone of the Sea Ancestor Saint Ancestor, only to find that both of them were gazing at him with smiles.

What's going on?

The two clones did not answer him, but instead vanished from Ning Qi's sight.

"???"

Just as Ning Qi was wondering what was going on, the phantom of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm appeared beside him.

"It seems they made some kind of deal behind the scenes."

"Trade?"

The illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will frowned slightly and asked, "Did those two exchange telepathic messages before?"

Ning Qi suddenly recalled that when the Holy Ancestor's clone opened the Peach Blossom Spring Space and invited the Sea Ancestor's clone to enter, he seemed to have said something to the Sea Ancestor's clone.

Did these two guys plan everything from that time onward?

But these two are clearly enemies, so what did they discuss, and why were they looking at me like that?

At this moment, Ning Qi was overwhelmed with a hundred thoughts, which he couldn't quite put into words, and he felt that things had become somewhat unpredictable.

If the Holy Ancestor's avatar reached some kind of deal with the Sea Ancestor's avatar, what conditions did he use to persuade the Sea Ancestor's avatar?

Ning Qi felt his power growing stronger and stronger as he surveyed the entire war zone.

His current position can be considered the center of the entire war zone, but Ning Qi's line of sight can already see the extreme distance to the north and south, to the final boundary wall at the end.

The boundary walls at both ends are the original boundary walls connecting the two great spirit realms, intersecting with the war realm, and are also the final barrier leading to the two great spirit realms!

Ning Qi's vision blurred, and he seemed to see the two final barriers quietly opening.

"Could it be that their true forms are about to descend?"

Ning Qi felt his blood flow increase; he was finally about to see the ancestor's true form.
