Evil Can Invade Immortals
The Mountain Ancestor stood suspended in the void, his originally pure and flawless full-moon immortal body now tainted by black water.
Black water clung to his immortal body from head to toe, completely enveloping it, and was still bubbling away.
A terrifying scream of pain emanated from the black water, followed by an endless surge of immortal power erupting from the Mountain Ancestor's body.
For most of the moment, the black water covering him was forced away from his immortal body.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it... Ugh!"
At this moment, the Mountain Ancestor seemed to be a mortal who had accidentally entered an insect cave, and was suddenly covered by a terrifying swarm of insects. His reaction was naturally similar to that of the Mountain Ancestor.
Compared to insects, this black water is undoubtedly far more terrifying.
Not only was there a nauseating odor that he couldn't block out, but it was also unbearable for the Mountain Ancestor's immortal body, like an ordinary person being thrown into a cesspool.
It still retains the characteristics of Twisted Monsters and desires to devour and transform the Mountain Ancestor.
Just like when Ning Qi first fought the Twisted Monsters, those Twisted Monsters devoured the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm and transformed them into even stronger beings.
The Mountain Ancestor kept leaping and shifting in the Boundary Sea, as if only by doing so could he shake off the black water splashed on him and incidentally alleviate the intense emotions in his heart.
Ning Qi quietly stared at the mountain ancestor who was jumping around.
The mountain ancestor's body shimmered with light, every strand containing terrifying Immortal Power.
However, he was unable to completely drive away the black water; he only managed to remove most of it.
From a distance, Shanzu Mountain now looks like a piece of pure, flawless jade, stained with black spots of varying sizes.
Black spots appeared on the Mountain Ancestor's pure and flawless immortal body, making him look as if he had contracted some kind of strange skin disease.
Ning Qi observed carefully and found that the black spots on the mountain ancestor's body varied in color, but they were undoubtedly wriggling on its surface.
Some resembled scabies, some moles, and some ringworm, all exuding a corrupting power, constantly invading and taking root within the immortal body of the Mountain Ancestor...
This black water is the residual energy of the Twisted Monsters after it was killed by the Mountain Ancestor, and it needs to be refined with immortal fire to completely disappear.
However, the Boundless Evil Qi secretly manipulated the immortal fire, pouring it completely onto the Mountain Ancestor's immortal body.
The Mountain Ancestor never expected his immortal fire to go out of control, and even now, he still doesn't understand how it happened.
He even thought at one point that the accident was caused by him gathering the black water together and burning too much of it.
After all, Shan Zu simply couldn't believe that Ning Qi was capable of doing this.
Since becoming an immortal, Ning Qi hasn't even dared to appear before him in his true form. How could he possibly do something like this?
The Mountain Ancestor continuously released the immortal power within his body, desperately trying to remove the black spots from his skin.
Ahead, he had also slain the last Twisted Monsters, though the remaining black liquid still lingered.
Although there seemed to be no enemies left on the scene, the Boundless Evil Qi had not yet made its move.
I have to say, the Boundless Evil Qi is absolutely terrifying!
Besides being boundless, what makes it even more terrifying is that it possesses its own will.
It can be said that apart from forcing it to attack the Mountain Ancestor, everything else was its own choice, and Ning Qi Ning Qi not interfere at all.
Apart from Ning Qi, the Mountain Ancestor did not discover the existence of the Boundless Evil Qi.
The Boundless Evil Qi, like a master of stealth, dispersed and completely merged into the celestial light emanating from the Mountain Ancestor.
Silver light emanated from the Mountain Ancestor's body, continuously impacting the black spots on his skin.
Ning Qi sensed that Boundless Evil Qi was also rushing towards the black spot.
And then what happened next occurred.
It was clear that the mountain ancestor's divine light could dispel those terrifying black spots, but the Boundless Evil Qi was like a deliberately malicious sixth brother.
When it comes into contact with dark spots, it can actually cause dark spots to grow!
It seemed that the black spots were putting up a fierce resistance because of the impact of the mountain ancestor, and so the black spots on the mountain ancestor's body slowly became larger and darker.
Upon seeing this, the Mountain Ancestor nearly fainted from anger.
An even stronger burst of Immortal Power erupted from within him, determined to completely eradicate the black spots.
Even amidst this tug-of-war, the sixth brother, Boundless Evil Qi, was still absorbing the Immortal Power of the Mountain Ancestor, leaving Ning Qi, who was watching from afar, speechless.
"Becoming an immortal doesn't seem to make one completely invincible; in fact, it amplifies certain weaknesses."
Ning Qi thought to himself.
It can be said that even Ning Qi felt a sense of suffocation when he first met the Mountain Ancestor who had become an immortal.
The Mountain Ancestor's immortal body was so pure and flawless, and its Immortal Power surpassed all the power within Ning Qi's own body, reaching perfection in quality.
Ning Qi didn't want to fight Shan Zu for the time being.
However, after becoming an immortal, the Mountain Ancestor clearly became extremely sensitive to the entire Boundary Sea.
He loathed Boundary Sea, which gave Ning Qi an opportunity to attack him.
The Twisted Monsters that came from the depths of the Boundary Sea forced the Mountain Ancestor to abandon the search for Ning Qi and the others, and to eliminate them as soon as possible.
As for the final move by the Boundless Evil Qi, it instantly triggered the Mountain Ancestor's reaction, causing him to leap and bound in the Boundary Sea.
For some reason, seeing this scene made Ning Qi feel even more strongly that becoming an immortal might not be a good thing.
At least, Ning Shanzu's path to immortality through traditional cultivation methods seems ill-suited to the current situation.
This made Ning Qi determined that he must continue to pursue immortality through his own Realm Lord system, rather than the Mountain Ancestor path.
"Do it!"
Ning Qi gave another order to the Boundless Evil Qi.
Boundless Evil Qi clung to the surface of the Mountain Ancestor's immortal body, moving about unwillingly.
Ning Qi sensed that it was like a layer of energy veil, gradually spreading out and enveloping the immortal body of the Mountain Ancestor.
Even at such close range, it was still able to remain undetected by the Mountain Ancestor, which made Ning Qi even more wary of it.
This thing was kept so secret even from someone as powerful as the Mountain Ancestor. Fortunately, it wasn't this powerful when Ning Qi first encountered it.
Despite the radiant immortal light emanating from the Mountain Ancestor, it was still unable to completely dispel the black spots from its immortal body.
A fierce glint flashed in his immortal eyes, his internal organs glowed, and he actually spat out a Five Elements Immortal Talisman.
"Five Origin Immortal Thunder Talisman!"
The five elements flowed on the talisman, giving rise to an incomparably dazzling bolt of lightning.
Sizzle!
The talisman flashed like lightning and slashed towards the black spots on the mountain ancestor's body.
It's like a custom-made electric knife, not harming the pure immortal body of the Mountain Ancestor in the slightest, but specifically targeting the parts with black spots.
In an instant, wherever the lightning passed, all the black spots were swept off like dried scabs, and then completely shattered by the lightning.
In just a short while, the Mountain Ancestor's immortal body was covered with pits and corrosion holes.
Fortunately, he was extremely decisive, even at the cost of his Origin energy, to eliminate it. Otherwise, the black spot would likely have corroded his immortal body even more.
The dark spots vanished, and the Mountain Ancestor Immortal regained his radiance, illuminating the Boundary Sea.
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.
"Ning Qi, let's see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"
Strands of celestial light began to repair the pits on the surface of the Mountain Ancestor's body, and continued to spread, forcing back the energy of the surrounding Boundary Sea.
The Mountain Ancestor's eyes swept across the area, but he did not find any trace of Ning Qi.
He remained calm in the face of this.
Ning Qi hid to the side, using every means to conceal his aura fluctuations.
Suddenly, he saw the mountain ancestor's heartbeat.
The mountain- Law Seals, symbolizing the Inheritance of immortals from Mount Buzhou, was twisting and subtly transforming into a heavenly eye.
Within the Heavenly Eye, triangular runes rotated, gradually forming a Immortal Method pupil.
Looking at that celestial eye, Ning Qi felt a sense of foreboding.
He dared not gamble on whether he could remain undetected by that eye, and for a fleeting moment, Ning Qi even had the urge to teleport back to the True Martial Spirit World.
After the Mountain Ancestor became an immortal, the power that previously separated immortals and mortals and blocked time and space disappeared in the Boundary Sea.
Therefore, Ning Qi knew that he could instantly teleport back to the True Martial Spirit World.
Even the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, whom he exiled to the Blackwater Region of the Boundary Sea, have returned to the True Martial Spirit World using the nameplates he gave them.
However, as Ning Qi looked at the mountain ancestor before him, he felt his blood boiling.
He didn't want to run away; besides, could he really escape it?
Ning Qi released another Boundless Evil Qi from his fingertips, and the various powers within his body gradually merged into one.
True Martial Power, Mountain and Sea Realm Power, Vast and Righteous Realm Power, various powers cultivated through reincarnation, and the energy of the Boundary Sea...
Of course, Ning Qi dared not let this Boundless Evil Qi enter his body.
With the example of the Sword Ancestor before him, who had been afflicted by Evil Qi for ten thousand years, Ning Qi would not take the risk.
The Evil Qi spread out and enveloped him.
The mountain ancestor's inner eye began to pulsate, scanning along the Boundary Sea.
Just as he was about to fire at Ning Qi's location, the Boundless Evil Qi emanating from the Mountain Ancestor's body, infused with immortal light, finally made its move!
The Evil Qi immediately absorbed all the divine light emanating from the Mountain Ancestor's body. It looked as if the Mountain Ancestor, like a bright light bulb, had suddenly gone out without warning.
What happened?
The Mountain Ancestor's attention was focused on the Boundary Sea, but the immortal light on his body suddenly disappeared, which greatly alarmed him!
All the energy from the Boundary Sea that had been driven away surged towards him like a tidal wave.
In the next instant, Boundless Evil Qi actually burrowed into the immortal body through the pores and seven orifices of the mountain ancestor.
In an instant, the Mountain Ancestor collapsed headfirst into the Boundary Sea.
Ning Qi was about to make a move, but stopped immediately upon seeing the Mountain Ancestor.
Why is my Immortal Power beyond my control? What is stealing my Immortal Power?
At this moment, the Mountain Ancestor could only release a layer of humanoid immortal light, and could no longer release the full moon-like halo.
He felt as if something else was robbing him of control over the power within him.
"Did you do this again, Ning Qi?"
The mountain ancestor was filled with boundless hatred; where was the sacred image of a transcendent immortal?
He directly linked his own changes to Ning Qi.
Ning Qi sensed the Boundless Evil Qi; he was still able to maintain a connection with the Boundless Evil Qi that had invaded the Mountain Ancestor's body.
It could be said that he was experiencing the attack of the Mountain Ancestor by the Boundless Evil Qi from a third-person perspective.
The Boundless Evil Qi entered the Mountain Ancestor's body and instantly occupied various acupoints, especially the three key areas: the forehead, heart, and Dantian.
Immediately upon entering, it swiftly seized the Immortal Power within the Mountain Ancestor's body, vying for control of him.
Even from a third-party perspective, Ning Qi was taken aback by the sheer ferocity of the Evil Qi aura.
It's likely that when the Sword Ancestor was poisoned by this Evil Qi, he initially went through the same process, only that both were very weak back then.
The Evil Qi ran rampant, like the most terrifying predator in the Boundary Sea, and targeted the immortal body of the Mountain Ancestor.
While absorbing the power of the Mountain Ancestor, it also seized control and caused damage within the Mountain Ancestor's body, with considerable success.
The Mountain Ancestor's immortal body flickered between light and shadow, barely managing to maintain its immortal radiance and resist the invading energy of the Boundary Sea.
Ning Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Even now, he is still resisting the energy of the Boundary Sea. Is his immortal body so resistant to the energy of the Boundary Sea Boundary Sea that he doesn't want to stay in it?
Ning Qi quietly approached the mountain ancestor.
Since making his first statement, the Mountain Ancestor has been completely absorbed by the changes within his body.
The situation within his body terrified him, but gradually, he managed to decipher the nature of the situation from the Inheritance he had acquired within his mind.
"Damn it, this is Boundless Evil Qi! Ning Qi, you'll die a horrible death for using something like this against me!"
The mountain ancestor was practically cursing.
He became an immortal overnight and considered himself invincible, but as soon as he emerged from seclusion, he encountered such a series of setbacks.
He felt like the most aggrieved immortal in history!
But unfortunately, he had no solution.
Because this is the kind of world we live in now.
The world is barely resisting the invasion of the Boundary Sea, and there are very few immortals in the entire Spirit Realm.
Even the Mount Buzhou in the past was related to changes in the Boundary Sea.
The energy of the Boundary Sea is not only eroding all the worlds within the Boundary Sea, but also the Immortal Realm!
In the past, once cultivators achieved immortality, they could shatter the void and fly directly to the Immortal Realm.
However, after the appearance of the Boundary Sea, the fairyland shattered and split into several pieces.
Even though someone like Shan Zu, who has become an immortal, has been recognized by the immortal sect and registered in the immortal register, he still has to cross the Boundary Sea and travel to those realms before he can truly leave the Boundary Sea and enter the immortal realm.
Therefore, these immortals regarded the energy of the Boundary Sea and the Twisted Monsters within it as the most filthy things in the world.
But the Boundless Evil Qi in the heart of the Mountain Ancestor was even more terrifying than the former two.
According to what he Inheritance and the messages from the immortal sect when he became an immortal, the Boundless Evil Qi may be the root cause of the changes in the Boundary Sea!
They once mentioned that the Boundless Evil Qi was extremely wicked!
Sensing the state of his body, the Mountain Ancestor felt that only the legendary Boundless Evil Qi could have tormented a mere immortal like him to this extent.
The only thing he could be thankful for was that the amount of the Boundless Evil Qi was very small.
After seeing through everything, the Mountain Ancestor suddenly clasped his hands together.
"There's no other way. Only by staying alive can one become an immortal. Staying alive is the most important thing!"
Upon seeing his posture, Ning Qi stopped warily.
The Mountain Ancestor suddenly shouted, "Remnant Mountains Embrace the Sea!"
Rumble!
A tremendous roar erupted from within the Mountain Ancestor's body, and at that moment, the Mountain Ancestor's immortal body seemed to become semi-transparent.
A mountain shadow reappeared from the Mountain Ancestor's body, slowly enlarging until it completely enveloped his immortal form.
The illusory image of the remaining mountain, resembling an eternal and indestructible divine mountain, stands in the Boundary Sea, sealing the immortal body of the Mountain Ancestor.
The mountain-shaped mark on the forehead of the Mountain Ancestor was restored, flashing incessantly, as if echoing the released mountain shadow.
"The remains of Mount Buzhou?"
Ning Qi frowned slightly, wondering why the Mountain Ancestor had summoned the remnants of Mount Buzhou that he had previously devoured.
The reappearance of the dark mountain shadows brought Ning Qi a distinctly different feeling.
Its entire body was as black as ink, yet it gave off an aura of unparalleled holiness and an unapproachable grandeur.
