Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 992 - 427: Brute Force Falls Short of Comprehension

The Ancient Path Sacred Map True Copy hovered above Mountain Ancestor’s head.

Strands of colorful Immortal Dao Aura descended from it, flowing into Mountain Ancestor’s body.

Mountain Ancestor was enveloped in immortal fog, like a divine presence.

With a mere thought, another Ancient Saint’s shadow emerged from the Ancient Path Sacred Map, instantly merging with Mountain Ancestor below.

In the next second, a change came over Mountain Ancestor’s aura. As his eyes opened and closed, his fierce gaze seemed to refract endless stars.

”Hmm?”

Feeling the change in the power within his body, Mountain Ancestor said to Ning Qi:

”The Ancient Path Sacred Map of that old scholar is indeed extraordinary. It contains multiple shadows of Ancient Saints. Now, I’ll let you witness the power of the Starry Ancient Saint, who was once a Master of the Star Universe.”

”Starry Ancient Saint?”

Ning Qi perceived the aura within Mountain Ancestor.

At this moment, Mountain Ancestor seemed to transform into someone else, gaining a few degrees of mysterious etherealness.

Ning Qi glanced again at the Ancient Path Sacred Map True Copy above his head.

Perhaps due to Mountain Ancestor activating the Ancient Path Sacred Map, the scroll-like map revealed an Ancient Saint’s image, much clearer than the other blurry shadows.

The surface of the Ancient Saint’s image was flowing with fine strands of starlight, and the fleeting star beams exuded endless mystery when observed.

Each strand of starlight, when closely examined, contained particles resembling miniature planets, linked together to form the semblance of a galaxy.

The holy image stood among countless star rivers, gazing down through the infinite starry sky.

Ning Qi distinctly perceived that it was a presence transcending the Power of Rules.

Just seeing its image inspired a feeling of reverence from within.

Yet upon comparing Mountain Ancestor’s aura, Ning Qi felt a sense of relief.

Clearly, Mountain Ancestor merely tapped into part of its abilities, not unleashing the full force of the holy image.

After all, Mountain Ancestor had only recently acquired the Ancient Path Sacred Map True Copy and didn’t have enough time to study and comprehend it, having been interrupted by the pursuit of Ning Qi.

Faced with Mountain Ancestor, surrounded by starry glimmers.

Suddenly, with a cold expression, he pointed at Ning Qi with spiritual intuition.

Instantly, a galaxy-like beam shot from his fingertip, transforming into a dazzling star arrow, aimed at Ning Qi.

Ning Qi’s figure flickered, instantly teleporting to another part of the void.

The star arrow penetrated the afterimage he left at the original spot, but its energy didn’t dissipate; instead, it made a sharp turn, rapidly redirecting toward Ning Qi’s new location.

In response, Ning Qi fired a sword light from his fingertip.

The sword light was not ordinary; within it lay hidden numerous tiny Sword Pills.

Each Sword Pill strung together like beads, launched toward the incoming star arrow.

The two clashed with rapid speed, colliding in an instant.

The void seemed to explode like stars, flowers of smoke blossoming.

”Boom, boom, boom!”

In the next moment, the entire void collapsed continuously at the point of impact, causing endless spatial ripples to emerge around.

Ning Qi squinted slightly, quickly scanned Mountain Ancestor, noticing a contemptuous smile at the corner of his mouth.

He looked again at the collapsing void, where the starlight hovered like a tornado. At the center, a twisted black hole spun, seemingly ready to devour everything around it.

”Star Tomb Burying Void!”

Mountain Ancestor shouted.

Instantly, the black hole engulfed all of Ning Qi’s sword lights, and then continued its tornado-like spin of starlight toward Ning Qi!

As it advanced, the central black hole grew larger, surrounded by starlight that transformed into vibrant star entities of different colors.

Each star contained various Powers of Rules.

These Powers of Rules were not randomly configured, but arranged in specific combinations to fit together.

For example, merging rules of water, ice, snow, and wind blades, forming an Ice Star, shimmering with a cold, eerie glow.

More terrifyingly, numerous stars were also arranged in specific rule arrays, subtly infused with a trace of Immortal Dao Aura as their core force.

Such layered interconnections, meticulously arrayed, yield power far beyond mere addition.

By now, Mountain Ancestor realized his own strength was unable to suppress Ning Qi, so he began drawing on the power of the sacred image within the Ancient Path Sacred Map.

At a glance, one could see countless saintly images within the Ancient Path Sacred Map. Even with the heritage from Buzhou Mountain, Mountain Ancestor confirmed the Ancient Path Sacred Map was an exceptionally rare treasure.

For each sacred image, there was a corresponding heritage. He was confident this artifact could suppress Ning Qi!

Ning Qi’s face darkened slightly, yet he did not panic.

Numerous stars connected to the black hole, like a fierce stellar waterfall striking toward him.

Ning Qi continued to teleport and dodge in the void.

While dodging, he devoted substantial mental energy to observing the Ancient Path Sacred Map atop Mountain Ancestor.

Above the Ancient Path Sacred Map, the displayed holy image was surrounded by flowing starlight.

In Ning Qi’s vividly clear eyes, he saw three hundred and sixty star acupoints around the holy image, each acupoint filled with different constellations, operating along specific trajectories, marvelously esoteric.

Ning Qi’s spirit resonated, whether through mind, will, spiritual sense, or heart, all filled by that holy shadow, directly entering the state of Enlightenment amidst the battle!

Mountain Ancestor wanted to use this map against him, but Ning Qi planned to use this map to counter Mountain Ancestor.

The Ancient Path Sacred Map was like an unparalleled sharp Divine Sword, just now seized by Mountain Ancestor.

Mountain Ancestor might be able to wield the Divine Sword, but he did not necessarily grasp the true way of using it.

On the other hand, Ning Qi intended to master the way to wield the Divine Sword to defeat Mountain Ancestor.

Merely holding the Divine Sword doesn’t mean victory is assured.
