Chapter 1030 - 446: Sea of Realms Grand Formation

The shadow of the mountain, pitch black and not large, just enough to envelop the Immortal body of the Mountain Ancestor.

It was triangular, floating within the energy of the Sea of Realms.

On one side, it resisted the invasion of the Sea of Realms energy, and on the other side, it had the power to suppress Evil Qi.

Within the mountain shadow, the Mountain Ancestor’s body surface continued to flicker between light and dark.

However, it was apparent that the bright periods exceeded the dark ones.

Ning Qi perceived the Infinite Evil Qi within the Mountain Ancestor and discovered that after the Mountain Ancestor had resummoned the shadow of Buzhou Mountain, the control of Evil Qi within him was rapidly diminishing.

”Can Buzhou Mountain suppress Infinite Evil Qi?”

Ning Qi instantly realized the core of the problem.

He moved closer to the Mountain Ancestor and immediately shot another strand of Infinite Evil Qi towards him.

The Evil Qi snaked its way fiercely and swiftly.

However, this time, the Infinite Evil Qi did not penetrate the mountain shadow barrier that could ward off the energy of the Sea of Realms; instead, it seemed to hit a wall and rebounded a short distance.

The strand of Infinite Evil Qi twisted in grievance within the Sea of Realms, seemingly casting a glance at Ning Qi.

Ning Qi did not approach the Mountain Ancestor, maintaining some distance.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but wrinkle his brow.

It seemed the Evil Qi could no longer approach the Mountain Ancestor; this Buzhou Mountain shadow barrier was really so powerful?

Previously, that strand of Evil Qi had achieved what even the protective Immortal Radiance of the Mountain Ancestor after his transformation couldn’t detect, easily merging in and even intruding into the Mountain Ancestor’s body, vying for control of immortal power.

Yet now, the resummoned shadow of Buzhou Mountain blocked it from the outer perimeter...

Just as Ning Qi found it troublesome, the Mountain Ancestor gradually regained control over himself.

A full moon radiance emitted from around him once more, but this time it did not radiate out to the Sea of Realms; instead, it was entirely contained within the mountain shadow.

Ning Qi perceived that the strands of Infinite Evil Qi within the Mountain Ancestor were being expelled from his body.

The wisps of Evil Qi gathered, resembling a small serpent, twisting incessantly before the Mountain Ancestor, releasing a faint hissing sound.

Simultaneously, it maintained its connection with Ning Qi, continuing to call for his aid.

Ning Qi remained motionless for the moment, his eyes fixed on the Mountain Ancestor.

The Mountain Ancestor panted heavily, beads of crystalline sweat covering his face.

His Immortal eyes locked onto the gathered Infinite Evil Qi before him, his gaze shimmering, the shock not yet faded.

Even though he had become an Immortal, invaded by this Evil Qi, he was bound to suffer greatly.

While unable to truly control him, it could significantly diminish his strength.

This Infinite Evil Qi was one of the most terrifying forces from the depths of the Sea of Realms; given time to develop, it could equate with Immortal Qi.

If not for possessing the legendary remnant of Buzhou Mountain, he wouldn’t have been able to expel it so swiftly.

Buzhou Mountain, an ancient Divine Mountain, once the sole path for mortals to ascend to the Immortal Realm, the remnant still retains considerable divine power.

Thus, the Mountain Ancestor managed to force it out so quickly.

But doing so wasn’t without side effects; the Mountain Ancestor’s expression was grim, his brows slightly furrowed, revealing a hint of worry.

”Ning Qi, come forth, your recent attack has allowed me to sense your presence...”

The Mountain Ancestor looked towards Ning Qi’s direction.

The Immortal Radiance around him suddenly separated a small part, leaking out of the mountain shadow, shooting into the Sea of Realms before him.

The Sea of Realms energy retreated upon seeing the radiance, revealing Ning Qi’s figure.

Ning Qi emerged into the Immortal Radiance, akin to standing under a spotlight, walking out from the darkness of the Sea of Realms to confront the Mountain Ancestor once more.

”Congratulations on becoming the first cultivator in this Sea of Realms to ascend to Immortal,” Ning Qi remarked bluntly.

”And also the first Immortal rendered so disheveled by a cultivator below the Immortal Realm!” the Mountain Ancestor responded self-mockingly.

Surprisingly, he did not immediately attack Ning Qi; instead, the two faced each other as if reminiscing.

However, the Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal eyes still lingered on Ning Qi, especially on the gray-black stream at his left fingertip.

The Mountain Ancestor’s eyelids twitched involuntarily.

”You still have Infinite Evil Qi; can you control it?”

Finishing, he laughed wryly at his foolish question.

If Ning Qi couldn’t control Infinite Evil Qi, how could his Immortal body have been infiltrated?

Upon seeing the Evil Qi twisting at Ning Qi’s fingertips, even the Mountain Ancestor who had ascended to Immortal showed extra politeness, altering his previous stance.

Ning Qi observed the Mountain Ancestor closely from a short distance.

While conversing, the Mountain Ancestor didn’t neglect dealing with the expelled Infinite Evil Qi from his body.

A strand of Immortal Fire flared up out of nowhere, enveloping the Evil Qi.

Pure Immortal power transformed into terrifying heat, incinerating the Evil Qi, causing it to twist continuously, emitting black mist-like smoke, billowing upward.

The Mountain Ancestor appeared extremely disgusted with the smoke, expelling it beyond the Immortal Radiance, into the Sea of Realms.

The two confronted each other, neither making a move, observing each other, seemingly wary in their confrontation.

Suddenly, Ning Qi’s fingertip strand of Infinite Evil Qi shot forward once more.

The Mountain Ancestor’s eyes narrowed, his body encased by the shadow of Buzhou Mountain flashed with a luster.

Crack!

This time, the Infinite Evil Qi transformed its form, its forefront morphing into a drill, rotating at high speed, striking against the mountain shadow barrier.

However, the mountain shadow flashed with a divine light, rebounding it again.

Divine Mountains are naturally defensive, divine power inviolable.

Seeing this, the Mountain Ancestor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

”You seem quite afraid of this Evil Qi?” Ning Qi asked indifferently.

”Humph, I, the Immortal Venerable, have divine mountain protection, an unblemished Immortal body, how could I fear such a thing?”

Of course, his words carried an air of bravado, without the power of the Buzhou Mountain remnant, he wouldn’t have such bold confidence.
