Two-Faced Deity

The inner world of the illusory Mount Buzhou.

Blood-red clouds surged across the sky, piling up like cotton balls.

Blood rained down, dripping and eroding the ground.

Countless wronged souls floated and sank within the blood-red clouds, emitting mournful roars.

Their roars created a cascading sound wave that formed a strange force that eroded downwards.

The Mountain Ancestor hovered within the largest blood cloud, believing he could use this Divine Ability to defeat the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor.

However, the shadows of the sun and moon surrounding the two below merged into a pure halo of light, instantly attacking him.

The Mountain Ancestor instantly vanished into the blood cloud, disappearing without a trace.

The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor charged towards the spot where he had been standing, their radiant halo illuminating the entire interior of Mount Buzhou.

It also seemed to have punched a huge hole in the blood-red clouds in the sky!

Within the halo, the aura of the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor surged forth, shining as brightly as the sun and moon.

Both were deeply moved, both by Ning Qi's appearance and by their ability to withstand the Mountain Ancestor's attack.

"Damn it, he's gone!"

Hai Zu, with blood still clinging to the corner of his mouth, said hatefully.

The Holy Ancestor then looked around at the blood-red clouds.

Instead of investigating Ning Qi's whereabouts, the two were searching for the Mountain Ancestor's trail.

Ning Qi was used to appearing and disappearing unpredictably, so neither of them was worried about his presence at all.

The divine weapons they wielded, formed from the light and shadow of the sun and moon, swept fiercely towards the blood-red clouds on both sides, as if a divine axe were splitting mountains.

In an instant, two huge cracks were cleaved in the blood-red clouds above the sky.

From a distance, it looks like two irregular, broken holes have been torn open in the sky!

However, after the attack, the blood cloud, like water cut by a knife, flowed back together, seemingly unharmed.

Seeing this, the two swung their weapons several more times.

Cracks covered the sky, resembling the crisscrossing scars on the face of the Mountain Ancestor.

Even so, they were still unable to eradicate the blood cloud.

The blood-red cloud seemed to possess its own life force, extremely strange, and impossible to completely sweep away.

Instead, the radiant halo surrounding them, which had merged into one, seemed to purify and dispel the surrounding blood clouds.

In a corner of the blood-red cloud.

The Mountain Ancestor remained hidden to the side, gazing at the halo rising from the blood-red clouds, his eyes still holding a hint of astonishment.

He knew that the two ancestors had been trapped for a long time and had consumed so much energy, so it was impossible for them to suddenly unleash such powerful strength.

Neither the Blood Soul Nether Rain Divine Ability nor the Curse of All Beings that he used before should have been able to break through it.

Therefore, there is only one possibility...

Shanzu came up with an answer he had been waiting for.

"Hehe, Ning Qi, you finally couldn't resist and barged into Mount Buzhou?"

The look of surprise on his face gradually turned into a smile.

"I knew you'd show up!"

"People like you, as long as you retain any shred of humanity, are destined to fail!"

The next second, the blood-red clouds churned in the sky, and changes occurred once again within them.

Streaks of blood-red and black lightning bolts flashed within, and rolling blood clouds immediately suppressed the purifying power of the halos emanating from the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor.

The blood-red clouds, like maggots clinging to bones, engulfed the halo of light, completely covering it.

Inside the halo, the two ancestors saw the blood clouds rolling in all directions, completely enveloping them, and were slightly taken aback.

The next second, countless bubbles appeared above the blood cloud, like boiling water, rippling on the surface of the light wheel.

A stench of blood, mixed with a disgusting green slime, began to attack the entire halo.

Puff puff!

The Holy Ancestor Haizu immediately realized that something was wrong.

"It seems he's deliberately luring us into the air?"

The Holy Ancestor frowned deeply and exchanged a glance with the Sea Ancestor.

Hai Zu asked, "Where exactly is Ning Qi? Has that guy been waiting for him to show up?"

The Holy Ancestor shook his head.

"Ning only communicates with us telepathically; even I don't know where he is."

Hai Zu's expression changed.

"If even he is trapped inside Mount Buzhou, wouldn't everything be over?"

The Holy Ancestor remained silent. He then recalled the divination he had received and firmly stated, "No, you must believe him."

The two looked around.

Their situation seems worse now than before.

Previously, they could see countless strange armies attacking them, but now, enveloped by this terrifying blood cloud, they felt that things were even worse than before.

Ning Qi hid somewhere inside Mount Buzhou, gazing at the scene above the sky.

He narrowed his eyes slightly as he gazed at the churning blood-red clouds.

"Even I couldn't find the Mountain Ancestor's whereabouts?"

He hadn't noticed it before, but now he vaguely sensed the pressure coming from the inner world of Mount Buzhou.

A terrifying gravitational force was surging in from all directions. In addition to gravity, various binding forces were also rampaging within him and being transmitted to his body.

"Fortunately, it's much weaker than the feeling Boundary Sea; I can bear it!"

Ning Qi moved silently within the inner world, exploring everything.

He even secretly extracted various powers from it and sent them into his storage space for his main body to analyze.

Just like when he analyzed the power of the two realms, Mountain and Sea.

Suddenly, a cold laugh came from the sky.

"Ning Qi, now that you've entered my world, why haven't you shown yourself yet?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi showed no sign of being discovered.

"As expected, the Mountain Ancestor still noticed?"

At their level, Ning Qi might pursue perfection and have his own plans for everything, but he wouldn't expect everything to go according to his wishes.

The world is constantly changing, and nothing will develop exactly as you wish.

Ning Qi had a plan to avoid being discovered by the Mountain Ancestor when he entered Mount Buzhou, but Ning Qi also had a plan to deal with the situation if he was discovered.

"Do you think I won't know you exist if you don't answer? Do I have to force you to show yourself?"

Inside Mount Buzhou, various strange forces swept in all directions.

Countless black roots, stained with the blood-red clouds in the sky, once again spread throughout the void.

Finally, Ning Qi was forced to reveal himself.

He appeared inside Mount Buzhou.

Now that the Mountain Ancestor had discovered him, Ning Qi decided to stop hiding it.

He appeared with great poise, surrounded by a unique light and shadow, just like that of the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor in the sky.

"Mountain Ancestor, now that I have entered your illusory image of Mount Buzhou, why don't you come out and meet me?"

Above the sky, blood-red clouds churned, and the figure of the Mountain Ancestor appeared at the same time.

"Finally, I've brought you here!"

With a wave of his hand, countless drops of blood shot towards Ning Qi like hidden weapons.

Ning Qi pointed at the incoming rain of blood, and countless sword pellets shot out, accurately shattering every drop of blood.

"They won't attack me again, will they?" Ning Qi said calmly.

The Mountain Ancestor narrowed his eyes.

He was merely testing the waters, to see if the blood rain would have any effect on Ning Qi.

After all, both the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor were trapped by the Blood Cloud.

But upon trying, Ning Qi effortlessly dispersed the rain of blood.

He immediately realized that Ning Qi's strength had increased again, and he had truly surpassed the Second Ancestor.

The mountain ancestor was unwilling to accept this.

The countless wronged souls within the blood-red clouds let out endless howls once more.

Above the sky, the light and shadow shrouded in blood-red clouds trembled incessantly.

Even with the combined shadows of the sun and moon, the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor within, whose power of rules and immortal aura merged, still found it quite difficult to deal with.

However, even more sound waves condensed into a magic bell, enveloping Ning Qi below.

Ning Qi neither dodged nor evaded.

Silently gazing at the translucent, blood-red magic bell that enveloped him.

Instantly, the Dharma bell trembled, and a small range of sound waves gathered into a large number of sound waves.

The power of the sound itself alone would likely be enough to instantly shatter the Primordial Spirit and kill even a cultivator at the Dao Integration stage if they were enveloped by it.

Not to mention, this sound wave also contains the power of incantations from all living beings!

That was the Curse of countless wronged souls who died at the hands of the Mountain Ancestor. The Mountain Ancestor had stirred up the evil and resentment in their souls, which coalesced into a terrible Curse that descended upon them.

This incantation possesses a power that transcends the Dao Integration Realm; even cultivators of higher realms would likely avoid it like the plague.

As the saying goes, ordinary people fear the consequences, while bodhisattvas fear the causes.

This curse of all beings is extremely evil. At best, it will shatter the cultivator's Divine Soul and cause them to lose themselves; at worst, it will completely assimilate them, turning them into one of thousands of wronged souls!

Previously, Ning Qi would have needed other methods to deal with this move.

However, having observed from the sidelines, he had already roughly figured out the source of its power.

Moreover, the True Martial Spirit World, which merges with the vast mountains and seas, also gave him a new kind of power from the beings within it.

The power of faith among all beings!

Within the translucent, blood-red bell, the sonic waves of countless vengeful spirits howled, creating dense ripples.

At this moment, these ripples became visible to the naked eye, indiscriminately attacking Ning Qi's physical body Primordial Spirit within a small area.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Ning Qi's figure seemed to instantly become illusory and distorted, as if it were resonating.

But the next second, a faint golden light suddenly appeared around Ning Qi.

The golden light was incredibly soft and exceptionally pure, like the glow of the rising sun after the darkness has faded from the night sky.

Instantly, the ripples attacking Ning Qi collided with the golden light and completely disintegrated.

Moreover, the ripples within the bell were instantly calmed by the golden light, which, like the rising sun, dispelled evil spirits and made Ning Qi immune to all magic.

Click!

The crimson bell shattered and dissipated into the void in an instant.

Above the blood-red clouds, the Mountain Ancestor's eyes widened.

"That's impossible!"

He nearly went mad. It was one thing for Ning Qi to be able to withstand his other attacks, but now this colossal power of curses, capable of severing even those newly entering the Immortal Realm, couldn't even harm Ning Qi?

"Nothing is impossible, you're just really unlucky."

Ning Qi said calmly.

He was enveloped in golden light and instantly flew towards the blood-red clouds in the sky.

Unlike the halo supported by the Mountain Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, Ning Qi was like an indestructible sword shadow. The void he swept through tore apart the blood clouds, which could not be restored and turned into a clear sky.

Ning Qi easily tore through the blood cloud's embrace and plunged into the light wheels of the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor.

Golden light emanated from his body, merging into the halo of light of the two.

Instantly, the blood-red clouds in the sky, like winter snow meeting the early spring sun, vanished in an instant.

Before long, the sky returned to clear skies.

Ning Qi appeared in front of the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor.

Looking at his tall, straight back, the two of them suddenly felt an unusual sense of peace.

They've been famous for hundreds of thousands of years, yet now they find a sense of security in a young man.

"Young man, we are extremely grateful for your rescue, but you'd better escape from inside the illusory Mount Buzhou as soon as possible!"

The Holy Ancestor didn't say anything else, but instead expressed his concern.

Both he and Haizu realized that Shanzu might be deliberately luring Ning Qi in.

Even though Ning Qi had just swept away the blood clouds in the sky, the two still felt that the Mountain Ancestor wouldn't be defeated so easily.

Hai Zu also warned, "The longer we fight within it, the more we realize how terrifying it is. How could you be so foolish as to knowingly walk into a tiger's den?"

Ning Qi didn't turn his head, and said calmly, "It's alright!"

His voice seemed to possess a calming power, bringing a sense of peace to the Second Ancestor who had just spoken.

High in the distance, the mountains stand facing each other, gazing upon this place.

At this moment, his eyes were completely fixed on Ning Qi, and he paid no attention to the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor.

This glance naturally caught the attention of both the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, who felt deeply hurt.

They were clearly beings at the same level as the Mountain Ancestor, yet now a young man had stolen their attention.

But the two of them had no choice but to admit defeat!

"Come on, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" Ning Qi beckoned to the Mountain Ancestor.

The mountain ancestor concealed the look of surprise on his face.

"You always manage to exceed my expectations; I'm actually finding it hard to kill you."

Then, he actually flew towards the sky above Mount Buzhou.

There, another mountain ancestor remained like a deity, looking down upon the group below.

Even now that Ning Qi has entered Mount Buzhou, he shows no emotional fluctuation.

The figures of the two mountain ancestors appeared simultaneously on the summit of Mount Buzhou.

The Sea Ancestor and the Holy Ancestor below, watching the two collide, had a vague sense of foreboding.

"Kid, stop them!"

Ning Qi remained detached.

"They must have been prepared all along. Do you really think I can stop them?"

The Holy Ancestor fell silent.

Ning Qi is no longer the cultivator he once thought had some talent.

The Holy Ancestor learned everything about Ning Qi through his avatar.

Even he had to admit that Ning Qi had probably surpassed him in both strength and vision.

Above.

The two mountain ancestors met, and their figures instantly merged into one.

Strangely, the body formed by the fusion of the two had four legs, four arms, and two faces.

They were not separate entities, but rather two mountain ancestors back to back, merging together to form a terrifying Dharma form.

Rumble!

"To force me to use this move, all three of you have already done something to be proud of, no matter what."

The sound falling from the sky was like a figure, not a single figure, but rather an echo.

His voice was devoid of emotion, filled only with utter indifference.

Looking at the newly appeared Mountain Ancestor, the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor felt a terrifying chill suddenly rise up on their backs for some reason.

Even Ning Qi felt a little uneasy.

They had seen far too many Divine Ability, and similar Divine Ability, such as those with three heads and six arms.

However, the feeling they got from Shanzu at this moment was clearly different.

It was as if he had evolved from a human into a deity!
