Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 764: Chapter 322: Hundred Beasts’ Body (Part 2)

Qi Baishou saw the actions of the three and realized that the Node Pearl in his hand had vanished, and they had guessed the answer.

His expression changed several times, then he shouted loudly, "Kill those three guys for me!"

The Hundred Beasts Realm army immediately unleashed a wave of attacks, aiming at Zhu Yanchuan and the other two soaring high into the sky.

The Langya Domain army below them intercepted promptly.

Ning Qi was concealing his presence in the void.

He was preparing to release the Node Pearl to summon the Heavenly Star here, thereby increasing the strength of the Langya Domain army.

Upon hearing the words from the three, he decided not to hurry.

"An unexpected gain?"

His gaze fell upon Zhu Yanchuan and the other two, as well as the Langya Domain army.

Among the Langya Domain army, there were also many cultivators reborn from the True Martial Realm, roughly accounting for one percent.

As the Realm Lord, Ning Qi naturally didn’t want them to die here upon encountering them.

So no matter what, Ning Qi would save the people of the Langya Domain.

But now with the unexpected gain, Ning Qi certainly had to accept it.

However, he wouldn’t believe Zhu Yanchuan and the other two based solely on their words.

The three of them, not getting answers from the void, showed a slight disappointment in their eyes.

The three exchanged a glance and said, "If the senior doesn’t trust our words, we three will swear by the sound of the Great Dao!"

After saying this, all three raised their right arms, pointing their fingers skyward.

"I, Zhu Yanchuan (Qiu Dingbang, Ma Shuangjue), swear by the power of the Primordial Spirit Origin, if the senior saves us, but we do not consider him as our commander, may we be utterly destroyed, perishing in the War Realm."

Above the three’s heads, a wisp of power of the Primordial Spirit Origin emerged, perceivable by all.

And above the sky, myriad sounds resonated, seemingly in response to their oath, devouring the three wisps of Primordial Spirit Power.

In the blink of an eye, three ancient characters for "oath" appeared in the sky, symbolizing that the oath was acknowledged by the Great Dao.

This Great Dao oath for cultivators is something that must be adhered to; if not, it will surely come true.

Zhu Yanchuan and the other two made this Great Dao oath out of desperation.

The three of them really couldn’t lead the Langya Domain army to defeat the Hundred Beasts Realm army. Rather than facing certain defeat, they were willing to gamble for a glimmer of hope.

Moreover, this oath would only take effect if that esteemed senior indeed saved them; if the person never appeared or failed, it wouldn’t count at all.

After making their oath, there was still no response from the void.

However, Qi Baishou on the opposite side relaxed his expression.

Zhu Yanchuan and the other two failed to draw that person out, indicating the person might merely excel at hiding and stealing.

He immediately laughed, "Stop bluffing, the other party won’t help you!"

He then looked up and spoke to the void, "Friend in the void, I suggest you return the Node Pearl. Keeping it alone won’t benefit you. Even if you catalyze the Heavenly Star, my Hundred Beasts Realm army can capture this Node in an instant. How about this, you exchange the Node Pearl, and I’ll give you ten micro Rule Fragments?"

Hearing Qi Baishou also trying to win the other side over, Zhu Yanchuan and the other two turned pale.

Though the two realms were mortal enemies in the conflict, there were always grey areas.

The revered senior could temporarily accept the other side’s terms when disadvantaged, and fight them to the death later.

So the hearts of the Langya Domain people were filled with uneasiness, fearing that Ning Qi would accept the offer of ten micro Rule Fragments.

Finally, a response came from the void.

Ning Qi appeared, still suspended high above Qi Baishou, replying, "Ten micro fragments, and you want to buy the Node Pearl from me?"

His voice was clear, echoing throughout the place.

Upon seeing him materialize, all the cultivators turned their gaze towards him.

He was dressed in white, exuding an extraordinary aura, standing calmly in the void with great majesty.

The eyes of the True Martial Realm reborn cultivators immediately filled with deep admiration, while others revealed a hint of doubt.

They noted Ning Qi’s extreme youth. Despite his exceptional presence, could he really reverse the battle between the two armies?

Especially since Ning Qi hadn’t appeared on the Langya Domain side but emerged above Qi Baishou; wasn’t this overly presumptuous?

Zhu Yanchuan reminded, "Senior, come quickly to our Langya Domain!"

Ning Qi shook his head slightly, saying calmly, "Remember your earlier oaths!"

Zhu Yanchuan and the Langya Domain army couldn’t help but feel a jolt in their hearts.

Upon seeing Ning Qi’s appearance, Qi Baishou immediately released a hundred Rule Divine Chains and charged towards Ning Qi.

En route, each of the Rule Divine Chains transformed into a beast shadow, all different.

He seemed to command all beasts under heaven alone, and the hundred beast shadows around him began to transform once again.

All the beast shadows encircled Qi Baishou, merging into one shadow!

At this moment, Qi Baishou’s aura became extremely bizarre, as if he embodied the strength and advantages of a hundred beasts, sweeping through the void, and immediately slashing towards Ning Qi with a punch.

The fist seemed like a human’s, yet also like various beast claws and bird talons, ever-changing, transforming into a terrifying giant shadow suppressing Ning Qi.

The void shattered, dark shadows layered, hairs and feathers swirled on the giant shadow.

Hairs twisted into ropes trying to bind Ning Qi, or like divine whips struck towards Ning Qi, or feathers transformed into swords, shooting at Ning Qi with a swish.

Even Ning Qi couldn’t help but slightly praise this divine technique.

As the giant beast claw approached, with flying beast hairs and feathers surging in, the void where Ning Qi stood was filled with various energies, leaving no room to dodge.

Qi Baishou shouted loudly, "Kid, if you kept hiding, I couldn’t do anything to you, but now you’ve revealed yourself, you’re courting death! I must thank Zhu Yanchuan and the others for drawing you out!"

Below, Zhu Yanchuan and the other two turned pale.

Both armies continued to battle fiercely, no one dared to stop to watch Ning Qi, but all extended their Spiritual Senses to know whether Ning Qi could alter the battle’s course.

Ning Qi remained unmoved by the incoming attacks.

He looked at Qi Baishou, their gazes met, and Qi Baishou suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He was too familiar with this feeling; back when he was a young cultivator, adventuring in the Hundred Beasts Spirit Domain, battling with demon beasts, each one’s gaze filled him with terror.

But as Qi Baishou killed more beasts, he had long forgotten what fear was, but somehow, Ning Qi’s gaze instantly reignited his long-lost fear.

Qi Baishou’s forward momentum paused, his whole body surrounded by overlapping beast shadows, making him look terrifying.

But now, he felt Ning Qi was even more frightening.

While Qi Baishou relied on beasts to inspire fear and invincibility, Ning Qi seemed like another kind of existence, a transcendent life form, making Qi Baishou feel as if struck by a Tribulation God Thunder with a single glance.

All the cultivators saw that Qi Baishou’s attacks directed at Ning Qi resulted in no ripples around Ning Qi; the giant claw shadow and whips of hair and feathers silently dissolved.

Where Ning Qi stood, it appeared as though an invisible grindstone erased all approaching attacks.

This scene caused all attacking cultivators to involuntarily pause their attacks, their focus initially on Ning Qi, but in the next moment, they all turned their gaze to Qi Baishou.

For Qi Baishou’s forward form suddenly stopped, his entire figure unexpectedly cut into two halves.

His upper and lower body separated in the void, and he looked down at himself in shock, his fierce face displaying immense terror for an instant.

Not only him, no one present saw Ning Qi show any sign of action.

Ning Qi seemed to merely look at Qi Baishou, and he was cut into two halves, continuously falling downward.

Even more terrifying, Qi Baishou seemed to have completely lost control over his body.

As an Extreme Venerable, a cultivator nearing Unity Realm existence, even if sliced in half, he should still have the ability to respond.

But now, Qi Baishou’s Primordial Spirit Power couldn’t manipulate his two body halves at all!

"How is this possible!"

Qi Baishou uttered guttural sounds, then fell silent, as his two body halves crashed to the ground, raising billows of dust.

The hands of the cultivators from both armies trembled ceaselessly, gripped by the terror of this scene.
