Home Was Gone

Within the illusory image of Mount Buzhou.

The Mountain Ancestor let out a wild roar, spitting out a beam of divine light.

The divine light, like an arrow, shot towards the gap in the Mountain and Sea Realm behind it, which was blocked by the shadow of the Jianmu tree.

After Ning Qi used the seedling of the Jianmu tree to plug the hole in the boundary wall of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Mountain Ancestor made a move, but did not resolve the issue with Ning Qi.

Considering the current situation, he did not focus his attention on Ning Qi and the Mountain and Sea Realm behind him, but instead chose to continue suppressing the Sea Ancestor and the Holy Ancestor.

After all, in his eyes, Ning Qi was nothing more than a slightly stronger grasshopper; even if he could jump around, how much trouble could he possibly cause?

Moreover, how could one so easily resist the Devouring Power of the illusory Mount Buzhou?

If Ning Qi wants to plug the gap in the Mountain and Sea Realm, he must continuously inject power into the Jianmu seedling.

Whether he injects his own power or uses the energy of the Mountain and Sea Realm, he must maintain it continuously; otherwise, if he relaxes, it will immediately break down again.

However, the Mountain Ancestor has just received a message from the Dragon-Faced Attendant.

The message mentioned that Ning Qi was spotted within the Haoran Realm!

How is that possible?

Ning Qi within the Mountain and Sea Realm behind him, urging the Jianmu seedling to resist the illusory image of Mount Buzhou. How could he appear within the Vast Realm?

The Mountain Ancestor suddenly felt uneasy, so he spat out divine light and shattered the barrier of the Mountain and Sea Realm that he had just repaired.

Beneath the illusory image of Mount Buzhou, the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor resided, their area of movement shrinking until it was almost only fifty li in size.

If they continue to shrink, the two will eventually be sealed away, unable to move at all, which would mean that the Mountain Ancestor has completely won!

As they fought back with all their might, they looked up at the mountain ancestor above.

What's gotten into this guy now?

Hai Zu asked, puzzled.

The Holy Ancestor and the will of the Vast Realm exchanged a glance; they had naturally also received the message from within the Vast Realm.

The Holy Ancestor replied, "Ning Qi has appeared in the Vast Realm. He told me that he has resolved the matter in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Hao Shan sent someone to secretly enter the Vast Realm, and they were surprised to see Ning Qi, so they sent this message."

"Has Ning Qi resolved the situation within the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Haizu seemed unconvinced and asked a question in return.

The Holy Ancestor shrugged. "Don't ask me. He didn't tell my avatar the specifics, and I don't believe he could resolve the situation in the Mountain and Sea Realm in such a short time. It's just that his appearance in the Vast Realm is unbelievable, even to me."

On Haizu's stunningly beautiful face, her delicate, light blue eyebrows were tightly furrowed together.

She was trapped by the phantom of Mount Buzhou, and she had previously witnessed the Mountain Ancestor sacrificing the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm, as well as a large amount of energy continuously being injected into the phantom of Mount Buzhou from within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

She understood that the Bai Shan wanted to sacrifice the entire Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm to break through to the final step.

However, unlike the Mountain Ancestor, the Sea Ancestor was not heartless; she still cared about the situation of all living beings within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

After all, half of the Mountain and Sea Realm is her territory.

Even excluding those under their command who entered the war zone, two-tenths of the cultivators remained in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

So many living beings, Haizu couldn't bear to see them sacrificed.

Now that he heard that Ning Qi had resolved the situation within the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Sea Ancestor naturally thought of them.

The Holy Ancestor seemed to sense her doubt and added, "We'll see if what Ning boy said is true!"

Haizu nodded.

The two looked towards the direction of the Mountain Ancestor and the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The divine light, like an arrow, easily tore apart the repaired mountain and sea boundary.

The boundary wall resembled a broken wall, with cracks widening and pieces falling off, revealing the scene behind it.

The next second, both the Mountain Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor showed expressions of disbelief.

"What about the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

The Mountain Ancestor roared, his voice shaking the universe, almost unable to believe what he was seeing.

Pieces of the boundary wall crumbled away, but he did not see the scene he wanted to see.

Instead of the impending destruction of the Mountain and Sea Realm, there was nothing there but a layer of hazy gray mist rising and falling.

The entire Mountain and Sea Realm has vanished; his home is gone!

Hai Zu's eyes widened, his long, white neck stretched out even longer, as if he wanted to see more clearly.

"Am I seeing things? Why has the Mountain and Sea Realm disappeared?"

She had just heard the Holy Ancestor say that Ning Qi had resolved the situation within the Mountain and Sea Realm, and she had also imagined how Ning Qi had resolved it.

Ning Qi may have temporarily blocked the energy within the Mountain and Sea Realm to prevent it from continuing to flow into the illusory image of Mount Buzhou.

Ning Qi could have done even better, gathering all her subordinates together and protecting their safety.

But Hai Zu never imagined that the solution Ning Qi spoke of would turn out to be this scene before him.

The entire realm of mountains and seas has vanished!

As the Holy Ancestor gazed at the churning gray mist, he knew it was a scene from beyond the world, a special energy belonging to the Boundary Sea.

He was equally astonished. Although the Mountain and Sea Realm had previously been shattered by the Mountain Ancestor, which absorbed a great deal of energy, the Mountain and Sea Realm was still in a state of shock.

But the Mountain and Sea Realm is, after all, the same spiritual realm as the Vast Realm, and it is incredibly vast. How could such a vast spiritual realm suddenly disappear without a trace?

Ning Qi's image appeared in the minds of the three men, and even if they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out how Ning Qi had done it.

"Impossible! There's absolutely no way he could have done that!"

High in the sky, the Mountain Ancestor continued to roar.

His expression shifted between shock and confusion, and suddenly two beams of light burst forth from his eyes.

The bright light, like a dazzling beam, shone directly into the hazy mist.

"Who was it? Who exactly assisted Ning Qi in seizing my Mountain and Sea Realm? Show yourself!"

He roared as if he had lost his mind, his eyes gleaming as he probed the gray, misty area.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a slight ripple within the gray fog.

The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor also sensed it and couldn't help but look in that direction.

They didn't quite believe that Ning Qi could make the entire Mountain and Sea Realm disappear, so they tended to think that perhaps someone else had helped him.

Moreover, that person's strength was definitely not weaker than theirs; otherwise, the Mountain and Sea Realm would never have disappeared in such a short time.

The disappearance of the Mountain and Sea Realm was indeed a huge event, but the two of them did not think it was a bad thing, at least it prevented the Mountain Ancestor from continuing to seize the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

However, the problems it caused were something that they and the Mountain Ancestor had to take seriously.

Because, very likely, there are three forces that are no weaker than them!

They're fighting tooth and nail here; if a third party were present, it would be a real problem.

Of course, the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor did not think it was a bad thing, because they themselves were in a precarious situation. If there really was a third party, it would be a good thing for them, but the Mountain Ancestor would have to spare some effort to guard against it.

The divine light shooting from Shanzu's eyes was as sharp as a knife, instantly sweeping towards the fluctuating area within the gray mist.

"Sizzle!"

Unexpectedly, a sound of flesh being cut followed by a short scream, and then silence.

The three of them had sharp eyes and noticed what the Mountain Ancestor's gaze had just struck.

That was a massive, mountain-like Boundary Sea Fierce Beasts, which was instantly annihilated by the Mountain Ancestor's gaze!

"Just Boundary Sea Fierce Beasts?"

This question arose in the minds of both the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor.

The Mountain Ancestor shifted his gaze and continued to explore the Boundary Sea.

Although he had just killed a Boundary Sea Fierce Beasts, he still believed that there must be a third party hiding in the Boundary Sea.

A strong sense of urgency and crisis rose in Shan Zu's heart.

Although he held the upper hand in the current war, he had not yet completely defeated Hai Zu and Sheng Zu.

His plan was to defeat the two, then devour two realms, and then break through to the next level.

But now that the Mountain and Sea Realm has disappeared, the energy he needs to absorb is significantly reduced by nearly half, which is not good!

The Mountain Ancestor's gaze was like a divine blade, constantly slashing across the Boundary Sea.

However, apart from slaying a few more Boundary Sea Fierce Beasts, no other creatures were found.

The mountain ancestor finally withdrew his gaze and suddenly closed his eyes.

His lips moved slightly, as if he were talking to himself, or perhaps sending a signal.

"Quickly take over the Vast Realm and bring Ning Qi to my side!"

"Receive!"

The Mountain Ancestor reopened his eyes and looked down at the Sea Ancestor and the Holy Ancestor.

"I didn't want it to end so quickly; I wanted to solidify my foundation, but as you can see, things have changed!"

He suddenly spread his arms wide, his body radiating energy that surged towards the illusory image of Mount Buzhou.

The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor below felt that Mount Buzhou had clearly grown larger.

Previously, for some unknown reason, the Mountain Ancestor did not want the illusory image of Mount Buzhou to completely devour the boundary wall of the War Realm, and thus preserved the last layer of shell.

However, now, the entire phantom of Mount Buzhou instantly expanded, swallowing the last remaining shell of the War Realm.

The phantom of Mount Buzhou instantly appeared within the Boundary Sea!

The entire Boundary Sea churned, and countless wisps of gray mist surged in, enveloping the illusory image of Mount Buzhou.

The gray mist, like drifting mountain fog, made the illusory image of Mount Buzhou appear even more towering and majestic, gently rising and falling in the Boundary Sea.

With this breakthrough, the illusory image of Mount Buzhou became significantly more solid, and its size expanded to a terrifying degree.

Rumble!

A terrifying suction force emanated from the left side of the illusory image of Mount Buzhou, completely adhering to the Vast Realm.

When the two are placed together, Mount Buzhou is actually larger!

The entire Vast Realm is like a giant sphere held in place by a mountain.

Within the Boundary Sea, the surface of the Vast Realm emitted a faint golden light, and around it, small spheres grew, connected to it, and were also coated with its golden hue.

These small spheres are small worlds that were born from the Vast Realm, just like the small worlds that surrounded the Mountain and Sea Realm before.

The next moment, a mysterious luster faintly flashed across the surface of Mount Buzhou, and it flew towards various parts of the Boundary Sea.

Those rays of light, like divine blades, cleaved towards the smaller worlds surrounding the Vast Realm.

Instantly, the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor saw that one small world after another was severed from the Vast Realm and flew towards Mount Buzhou.

One, three, five, ten...

More than twenty small worlds flew towards the illusory image of Mount Buzhou from all parts of the Boundary Sea without any resistance.

Bang bang bang!

A series of tremendous, earth-shaking roars echoed within the Boundary Sea.

These tiny worlds are like soap bubbles bursting, like fleeting dreams.

It's like a watermelon crashing to the ground from a great height, its rind breaking to reveal the red flesh and black seeds inside, a scene of bloodshed and life and death unfolding one after another.

The Holy Ancestor, inside Mount Buzhou, watched with eyes wide with rage!

The Mountain Ancestor was too ruthless; he directly manipulated Mount Buzhou to devour the small worlds that accompanied the Vast Realm.

Those small worlds, too, were nurtured by him over tens of thousands of years!

Upon witnessing this scene, Haizu's eyes flashed with a hint of sorrow, which quickly transformed into intense madness.

What rendered them powerless was that the space they occupied within Mount Buzhou was rapidly compressing.

Within the Vast Realm.

The original copy of the Ancient Dao Sacred Map was held in the hands of a mysterious cultivator wearing a dragon-shaped mask.

"A treasure, an absolutely rare treasure!"

Ning Qi stared intently at the ancient sacred map, his heart roaring.

He had cultivated the Inheritance given to him by the Holy Ancestor, even though the Holy Ancestor's avatar beside him did not explain what the cultivator wearing the dragon-shaped mask in front of him was holding.

But Ning Qi recognized it as the true copy of the Ancient Dao Sacred Diagram after just one glance, the source of the method cultivated by the Holy Ancestor.

Perhaps what the Holy Ancestor cultivated could not compare to the Mount Buzhou Inheritance of the Mountain Ancestor, but within the true copy of the Ancient Dao Sacred Diagram, there were the Great Daos of many ancient sages.

The Holy Ancestor only chose one of them to cultivate, and he became the Ancestor of the Vast Realm. If he could complete the Inheritance in the True Book of the Ancient Dao Sacred Diagram, even if he could not catch up with the Inheritance Mount Buzhou, he would definitely not be much worse.

In Ning Qi's eyes, within the Ancient Dao Sacred Diagram, there seemed to be countless immortal auras flowing, which was the energy revealed by the ancient sacred Dao within.

However, this treasure has now fallen into the hands of the Mountain Ancestor's people, making even the Holy Ancestor's avatar extremely wary.

The Holy Ancestor's avatar remained silent, merely gazing at the figure ahead.

The other person wore a dragon-shaped mask, obscuring their face, making it impossible to know who they were.

"Young Ning, you must retrieve the original copy of the Ancient Dao Sacred Map! Otherwise, if he hands it over to the Mountain Ancestor, everything we've done will be in vain, and both realms will be doomed!"

Suddenly, the Holy Ancestor's avatar transmitted a message to Ning Qi.

"Don't worry, I came to the Vast Realm specifically to stop them."

Ning Qi continued to stare at the Ancient Dao Sacred Diagram in the other party's hand until the other party activated their power to close the Ancient Dao Sacred Diagram, only then did Ning Qi look away.

The other party's identity remains a mystery, but their tone and voice are remarkably similar to those of Shan Zu.

He paid no attention to the existence of the will of the Vast Realm and the avatar of the Holy Ancestor, but recognized Ning Qi at a glance, seemingly feeling particularly surprised.

Furthermore, the other party also used Secret Method, seemingly to contact the Mountain Ancestor within the illusory image of Mount Buzhou and transmit some information.

Although they were in the same place, they still felt the space around them vibrating.

It should be noted that this is the central location of the Vast Realm, far from the War Zone, and the Holy Ancestor's secluded residence is hidden in a certain space within the Vast Immortal Sect.

The cave they were currently in now had an additional layer of spatial separation!

The will of the Vast Realm sensed the commotion outside and its expression turned extremely ugly.

"Oh no! The Mountain Ancestor has gone mad! He's seized all the small worlds surrounding my Vast Realm and is letting the illusory image of Mount Buzhou devour them!"

"What?"

The Holy Ancestor's clone was startled.

Ning Qi was also taken aback.

When this clone of his entered the Vast Realm before, he had seen those smaller worlds.

They are like ripe fruits, accompanying the vast world.

Ning Qi once sighed about this, lamenting how fortunate it was to be a small world beneath the Vast Realm, unlike the small worlds beneath their Mountain and Sea Realm, which, apart from the True Martial, had all been swallowed up by the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Now, these small worlds have been destroyed by the Mountain Ancestor!

Ahead, the unfamiliar cultivator's gaze was like a knife, shooting towards the three of them.

"Destroy the Vast Realm and bring back Ning Qi!"

He received a message from the Mountain Ancestor and learned about everything that was happening outside.
