Seizing the Mountain and Sea Realm

It was precisely because it disturbed the Primordial Spirit power left behind by the Mountain Ancestor that the little tree suddenly erupted, managing to seize most of the power from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Ning Qi looked towards the dome.

They discovered that the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm had been sucked down from the dome and was being continuously devoured by the small trees.

Ning Qi pointed to the sapling.

Yin and Yang energies emanated from his fingertips, carrying the power of life and death, which actually stopped the little tree from devouring the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The core area of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The sapling swayed, and the energy within the space was like the wind, or like clouds that gather and disperse unpredictably.

In particular, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm itself was like a cloud of smoke, being pulled down from the dome by the small tree and constantly absorbed by it.

In an instant, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was largely devoured by the small tree.

Having absorbed so much Origin energy, the sapling had clearly grown about ten centimeters taller.

Each new green leaf is as beautiful as jade!

Furthermore, the previously withered and yellow side has completely turned green and regained its vitality.

The branches that had been broken off by the mountain ancestor also grew back and sprouted new buds.

Ning Qi was just immersed in comprehending the Yin and Yang principles when he noticed the change in the sapling and immediately snapped back to reality.

Ning Qi extended a finger, and yin and yang energies emerged from the fingertip, carrying a trace of life and death interdependence, instantly stopping the little tree's devouring of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

This world seemed to freeze in time.

The avatar of the Mountain and Sea Realm outside had become much more illusory, but it still gazed intently at the inner world, which was the core of the work, its eyes widening involuntarily.

A shocking scene was reflected in his eyes.

Ning Qi became the center of the world ahead, pointing his finger at the swaying, mysterious little tree.

The entire world turned into black and white, centered around Ning Qi.

Even now, he could not sense Ning Qi's aura clearly. The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm could not figure out what had happened to Ning Qi or how much Ning Qi strength had grown.

However, he saw that as Ning Qi's fingertips landed on the small tree, they severed the connection between the small tree and the main body's will of the Mountain and Sea Realm like a knife, preventing his main body's will from being completely devoured by the small tree.

Ning Qi actually saved his original will!

A sense of disbelief and absurdity arose within the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, a mixture of lingering fear, relief, and confusion.

He had already learned Ning Qi's identity. Ning Qi clearly also the will of the world, so why wasn't Ning Qi sealed and devoured by the little tree? Instead, Ning Qi suppressed the mysterious little tree instead.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm could not understand it no matter what.

However, as he gazed at the constantly shifting black and white colors on Ning Qi's body, he indeed sensed a terrifying Great Dao that was mutually reinforcing and restraining, capable of encompassing all Daos.

Since the start of the Spirit Realm War, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm has witnessed many things, including the strength of the Two Ancestors of the Mountain and Sea Realm, as well as the will of the opposing Vast Realm Realm and the Holy Ancestor.

The Mountain Ancestor, the Sea Ancestor, and the Holy Ancestor—all three transcended the realm of Dao Integration and became near-immortals.

They can even use the aura of immortals. If given enough time, all three of them could truly take that step and become True Immortal.

However, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm felt that Ning Qi possessed even greater potential than the three of them.

Within those Yin and Yang energies, a faint aura of immortality also emerged, continuously flowing into Ning Qi's body.

Ning Qi's aura became increasingly ethereal, even to the will of the spirit world, making him increasingly unfathomable.

Suddenly, Ning Qi flicked his finger.

A stream of yin and yang energies seeped into the mysterious sapling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The sapling suddenly trembled violently, and then a phantom image was forced out from its body.

Ning Qi had already sensed everything, so he wasn't surprised.

On the contrary, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm stared at the illusory figure and was slightly taken aback.

The illusory figure emerged from the tree, revealing its full form; it was none other than the Primordial Spirit power of the Mountain Ancestor.

Using Secret Method Inheritance from Mount Buzhou, the Mountain Ancestor separated a Primordial Spirit and placed it on the small tree.

The Primordial Spirit of the Mountain Ancestor drifted in the world that had now become a blend of black and white, and the entire Primordial Spirit seemed not yet to understand the current situation.

This wisp of Primordial Spirit was given only one task by the Mountain Ancestor's main Primordial Spirit.

That is, as the mysterious sapling grows, it further urges it to seize the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

That's why the sapling suddenly burst forth.

Now, Ning Qi has forced the Primordial Spirit power of the Mountain Ancestor out of the tree.

The illusory image of the Mountain Ancestor immediately looked at Ning Qi, a look of surprise and disbelief on his face.

"Why is it you?"

After he finished speaking, he glanced around and then looked at his surroundings.

They discovered that only a small portion of the original will of the Mountain and Sea Realm remained, curled up in a ball, hiding behind Ning Qi.

The phantom of the Mountain Ancestor then looked at the mysterious little tree and discovered that it had also fallen into Ning Qi's hands.

"Um?"

The phantom of the Mountain Ancestor instantly understood the situation. Although he didn't understand what had happened, he immediately launched an attack on Ning Qi.

His Primordial Spirit power instantly condensed into a wooden spike.

Whoosh!

He shot directly at Ning Qi's forehead.

However, Ning Qi had already anticipated this and placed his two fingers in front of his forehead, easily trapping it.

Clang!

The wooden splinter in Ning Qi's hand struggled incessantly, emitting a clanging sound like metal.

On the wooden spikes, the head of the Mountain Ancestor seemed to emerge, his eyes fixed on Ning Qi once more, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"Who exactly are you? And why has your strength increased so much in such a short time?"

Ning Qi didn't respond to him at all.

With a sharp pinch of his two fingers, he directly destroyed the wisp of the Mountain Ancestor's Primordial Spirit.

Ning Qi used the yin and yang energies between his fingers to analyze the information contained within this Primordial Spirit, silently absorbing it.

"So, you are the Jianmu tree!" Ning Qi suddenly looked at the sapling.

He obtained the origin of the mysterious little tree from the Primordial Spirit power of the mountain ancestor; it was the Jianmu tree, the king of trees on Mount Buzhou.

It is interdependent with Mount Buzhou. Legend has it that the Jianmu tree grows between heaven and earth, reaching a height of a hundred ren (a unit of length), and the gods ascend to heaven from there.

Like Mount Buzhou, Jianmu is also a bridge connecting heaven, earth, humanity, and the gods.

All the High Antiquity emperors used this sacred ladder to travel between the mortal realm and the heavenly court.

War zone.

Perhaps it can no longer be called a war zone at this moment.

Because the phantom of Mount Buzhou summoned by the Mountain Ancestor is almost completely occupying the entire space of the war realm.

Only the last boundary wall of the War Realm remains, yet to be swallowed up by it.

The illusory image of Mount Buzhou is vast and boundless, and has become a bridge connecting the realms of mountains and seas and the realm of vastness.

At this moment, the Mountain Ancestor still hovered atop the sacred mountain, looking down at the Sea Ancestor and the Holy Ancestor who were fighting against him.

"Stop struggling. No matter what you do, you cannot escape your fate of destruction."

Hai Zu was filled with hatred and completely ignored him, only unleashing endless attacks from his hands.

"Mountains and Seas" was formerly the name of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and also the names of the two individuals, representing the division of the Mountain and Sea Realm between them.

But now, the energy around Haizu overflowed, forming a vast ocean of void.

However, the ocean of rules she condensed could never break through the illusory image of Mount Buzhou. It was more like a pool of water within Mount Buzhou Mount Buzhou, adding a touch of vitality to it.

The Holy Ancestor's body continuously emitted golden light, and the illusory image of the Vast Realm's will was also within it, constantly cooperating with the Holy Ancestor in his attacks.

The two were master and disciple for many years, and their cooperation was seamless. They didn't Mount Buzhou, but also slowed down the illusory image of Mount Buzhou from devouring the two realms more quickly.

However, their methods of resistance became increasingly ineffective.

Because all three of them saw through the phantom of Mount Buzhou that Mount Buzhou was not only devouring the space of the War Realm, but also the Mountain and Sea Realm behind it.

The Mountain Ancestor entered the War Zone from within the Mountain and Sea Realm, instantly shattering the boundary wall of the Mountain and Sea Realm and creating a large, broken hole.

Previously, the Holy Ancestor did not understand why the Bai Shan did this, but now he does.

The boundary between the Mountain and Sea Realm shattered, and the illusory image of Mount Buzhou continued to draw power from the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The resistance of the three Holy Ancestors within the illusory image of Mount Buzhou gradually weakened as Mount Buzhou devoured the War Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Even the space they could move around in within Mount Buzhou was becoming smaller and smaller.

What left the Holy Ancestor speechless was that he had divined that Ning Qi was the biggest variable in this war, and at this moment he also pinned his hopes on Ning Qi to change everything.

But... Ning Qi had already vanished without a trace from the War Zone!

The Holy Ancestor cursed inwardly, but he had no choice but to continue fighting against the Mountain Ancestor.

Suddenly, the entire illusory image of Mount Buzhou shook violently.

The Holy Ancestor, the Sea Ancestor, sensed that a terrifying power was surging from within the shattered boundary of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and was being injected into the illusory image of Mount Buzhou.

The illusory image of Mount Buzhou immediately expanded rapidly, its range even touching the boundary of the war domain.

The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor were startled.

If this continues, the illusory image of Mount Buzhou will directly connect the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm.

They feel powerless to resist now. If Mount Buzhou were to connect with the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm, it would obviously devour both realms completely.

"Haha, you will perish along with both realms!"

The Mountain Ancestor stood atop the sacred mountain and laughed loudly.

Beside the Holy Ancestor, the will of the Vast Realm transmitted its voice once more:

"Teacher, before this illusory image of Mount Buzhou comes into contact with the true form of the Vast Realm, we still have one last chance to escape."

The Holy Ancestor glanced in the direction of the Vast Realm, then looked up at the Mountain Ancestor in the sky, who seemed to have everything under control.

"Zhili, we can't escape, but don't worry, even if this guy tries to devour the Vast Realm, I'll make sure he doesn't live much longer!"

"Teacher, are you going to...?"

The will of the Vast Realm trembled, as if it had realized something.

However, the Holy Ancestor did not say much.

The three of them felt incredibly heavy-hearted.

But at that moment, the Mountain Ancestor, who was standing on the mountaintop, stopped laughing abruptly. He turned around and looked towards the direction of the Mountain and Sea Realm, uttering a sound of surprise and doubt.

"How could he possibly go to that place? How could he possibly subdue the Jianmu tree that coexists with Mount Buzhou?"

Instantly, a glimmer of hope rose in the hearts of the three Holy Ancestors.

"Teacher, what's wrong with this guy?"

The Holy Ancestor looked at the Sea Ancestor, and the Sea Ancestor also looked at the Holy Ancestor. Their eyes flashed, as if they both understood what the other wanted to say.

"Could it be that Ning Qi, who disappeared, has made a move?"

However, they simply couldn't fathom what Ning Qi had done to cause the Mountain Ancestor, whom even they could suppress, to change color so drastically.

Hai Zu vaguely thought of the core area of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The Inheritance she bestowed upon Ning Qi mentioned a method for entering the core area, but she didn't believe Ning Qi was capable of accomplishing anything.

After all, even the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm could be sealed there, so what could Ning Qi possibly do?

As they attacked, the group continued to look up at the mountain ancestor above them.

The Mountain Ancestor continued to gaze in the direction of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The next second, he took a step, as if trying to break away from the illusory image of the divine mountain and return to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

However, he glanced down at the three people below and finally stomped his foot hard.

The Mountain Ancestor sensed that the Primordial Spirit of his primordial spirit that he had left on the Jianmu tree, the core of the Mountain and Sea Realm, had been destroyed by Ning Qi.

Ning Qi has already helped the main body of the Mountain and Sea Realm escape its predicament, although the remaining small part of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will no longer threaten the Mountain Ancestor's overall plan.

However, the Mountain Ancestor was displeased that the Jianmu tree had fallen into Ning Qi's hands.

But upon closer reflection, even if Ning Qi briefly helped the main body of the Mountain and Sea Realm escape its predicament, or even seized the Jianmu tree, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

The Mountain Ancestor had finally managed to trap the Sea Ancestor and the Holy Ancestor, and was about to suppress and sacrifice them. At this crucial juncture, how could he possibly break free from the illusory image of the divine mountain?

He knew perfectly well which was more important and which was less important.

By trapping the Sea Ancestor, the Holy Ancestor, and the will of the Vast Realm, it means that there is no force within the Mountain and Sea Realm to stop him from devouring, and it also means that the entire Vast Realm will fall into his hands.

Therefore, the Mountain Ancestor is truly unable to leave the phantom of the sacred mountain.

He didn't want all his previous gains to go to waste, nor did he want the three Holy Ancestors to escape.

Seeing the Mountain Ancestor's actions, the three Holy Ancestors attacked even more vigorously.

Although they didn't know what Ning Qi had done, the fact that he could make the Mountain Ancestor want to leave the phantom of the Divine Mountain meant that it must be a very important matter, so they couldn't let the Mountain Ancestor leave!

Thus, it was clearly the Mountain Ancestor who trapped the three Holy Ancestors with the illusory image of the divine mountain.

But now, strangely, the three of them have managed to hold off the Mountain Ancestor.

Shan Zu believes that his chances of winning remain unchanged.

Although the three Holy Ancestors did not think they could win, they wanted to stall for as long as possible.

The core area within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The barrier over the entire core area shattered with a deafening roar.

Ning Qi stood suspended in the center, and all the energy around him surged toward him.

From a distance, it resembles a traditional Chinese ink painting, with all the ink washes merging into Ning Qi's body.

As the barrier shattered, the illusory clone of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will flew out and merged into the main body of the will.

At the same time, streams of energy from all over the Mountain and Sea Realm converged on this place, merging into the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Those were all his clones!

Over the years, although his original will has been sealed, in order to maintain the operation of the Mountain and Sea Realm, he has also condensed many clones and placed them within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The entire space was silent, with a hint of deathly stillness.

Ning Qi turned around and faced the true will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Even though Ning Qi had rescued the original will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, it still appeared extremely weak at this moment.

Having been sealed by the Jianmu Tree for so many tens of thousands of years, and having just had most of its power devoured by it, it's already a blessing that he's still alive!

"Lord of the Realm!" Ning Qi called out.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm returned to its senses, looked at Ning Qi, and its expression became extremely complicated.

"I am no longer worthy of the title of World Lord in your presence."

Ning Qi said, "I'm sorry I couldn't save you in time, causing you to lose so much of your power."

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm shook its head. "I was originally going to be completely devoured by it, so I'm already quite satisfied with this outcome."

Ning Qi nodded slightly.

He looked out at the world.

With Ning Qi's pacification of this area, the barriers of the entire core region, as well as the barriers that were there when we first arrived, are all crumbling.

Ning Qi then realized that they were actually above the Heavenly Peak!

"Can you stop the energy loss from the Mountain and Sea Realm and repair its shattered state?"

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm also looked outside, but he shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"I am powerless to reverse the tide; the Mountain and Sea Realm is doomed to destruction."

If you have another method, you might as well give it a try!

Ning Qi said, "I do have another method. I want to seize the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm from the Mountain Ancestor. Are you willing?"

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was taken aback, as if it had realized something.
