Chapter 957 - 411: Seizing the Mountain and Sea Realm

It was precisely because he had alarmed the Primordial Spirit Power left behind by the Mountain Ancestor that the small tree suddenly erupted, actually seizing more than half of the power from the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.

Ning Qi looked up toward the dome.

He discovered that the Mountain and Sea Realm Will had actually been sucked down from the dome and was constantly being devoured by the small tree.

Ning Qi stretched out his hand and pointed at the small tree.

Yin and Yang energy emerged at his fingertip, carrying the Power of Life and Death, and actually brought the small tree’s devouring of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will to a halt.

At the core of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The small tree swayed; the energy in the entire space was like wind, or like clouds that gathered and dispersed unpredictably.

Especially the main body will of the Mountain and Sea Realm—it was like a mass of cloudlike smoke, pulled down from the dome by that small tree and continuously drawn into it.

In just an instant, more than half of the Mountain and Sea Realm’s main body will had been devoured by the small tree.

And because it had devoured so much Spirit Realm origin power, the small tree had clearly grown about ten centimeters taller.

Every new leaf shone green like jade!

Moreover, the side that had previously been withered yellow had completely turned green, regaining vitality.

And the branch that had been snapped off by the Mountain Ancestor began to grow again, sprouting anew.

Ning Qi had just been immersed in comprehending the Path of Yin and Yang; upon discovering the change in the small tree, he immediately snapped back to awareness.

Ning Qi extended a finger; Yin and Yang energy emerged at his fingertip, carrying a faint aura of life and death intertwined, and in an instant, he brought the small tree’s devouring of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will to an end.

This world instantly became as if time had been frozen.

Outside, the avatar of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will had grown much more Illusion-like, but he still stared fixedly at the Inner World that served as the core, his eyes involuntarily widening.

In his eyes was reflected a shocking scene.

Ning Qi had become the center of the world before him, one finger pinning down that swaying mysterious small tree.

The entire world turned black and white, with Ning Qi at its center.

The aura on Ning Qi’s body had become so indistinct that even he, in his current state, could barely Perceive it; for a time, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will could not figure out what exactly had happened to Ning Qi, nor to what level Ning Qi’s strength had grown.

However, he saw that as the Yin and Yang energy at Ning Qi’s fingertip fell upon the small tree, it cut, like a blade, the connection between the small tree and the Mountain and Sea Realm’s main body will, preventing his main body will from being completely devoured by the small tree.

Ning Qi had actually saved his main body will!

A sense of absurdity that he could hardly believe rose in the heart of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will; there was lingering fear, there was relief, and then confusion followed.

He had already learned Ning Qi’s identity; Ning Qi was clearly also a World Will, so why had Ning Qi not been sealed and devoured by the small tree? Why was it instead that Ning Qi had reversed it and suppressed that mysterious small tree?

No matter how he thought, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will could not make sense of it.

He merely stared at the shifting black and white on Ning Qi’s body and indeed sensed within it a terrifying Great Dao of mutual generation and mutual restraint, capable of accommodating all paths.

Since the outbreak of the Spirit Realm war, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will had witnessed many things along the way, had seen the power of the Mountain and Sea Ancestors, and had seen the opposing Vast Realm Will and the Saint Ancestor.

The Mountain Ancestor, the Sea Ancestor, and the Saint Ancestor—these three had all surpassed the Harmonization realm and become Near-Immortals.

They could even wield Immortal Dao Aura; if the three were given enough time, all of them could truly take that step and achieve the realm of Immortal True Immortal.

Yet at this moment, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will felt that Ning Qi harbored a potential even greater than that of the three.

Within that Yin and Yang energy, a wisp of Immortal Dao Aura faintly arose as well, continually pouring into Ning Qi’s body.

Ning Qi’s aura grew ever more ethereal, to the point where even he, the Spirit Realm Will, could increasingly not see through it.

Suddenly, Ning Qi flicked his fingertip.

A strand of Yin and Yang energy seeped into the mysterious small tree at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The small tree immediately began to shudder violently, and then, from within it, an Illusion was actually forced out.

Ning Qi had long since Perceived all of this, so he was not surprised.

It was the Mountain and Sea Realm Will instead who, gazing at that Illusion, was slightly stunned.

The Illusion walked out of the tree and revealed its full form—it was actually the Primordial Spirit Power of the Mountain Ancestor.

The Mountain Ancestor had used a Secret Technique from the Buzhou Mountain lineage to split off a wisp of Primordial Spirit and have it parasitize the small tree.

The Mountain Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit Power drifted in the world that had now turned into an intermingling of black and white; the entire Primordial Spirit seemed not yet to understand the situation before it.

This wisp of Primordial Spirit had only been entrusted with a single task by the Mountain Ancestor’s main Primordial Spirit.

That was, when the mysterious small tree grew, to further drive it to seize the Mountain and Sea Realm’s main body will.

Hence the small tree’s sudden eruption just now.

And now, the Mountain Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit Power had been forced out of the tree by Ning Qi.

The first thing the Mountain Ancestor’s Illusion did was look at Ning Qi, a hint of startled disbelief appearing on his face.

"Why is it you?"

After speaking, his gaze swept around, looking at the surroundings.

He discovered that only a small half of the Mountain and Sea Realm’s main body will remained, curled into a ball and hiding behind Ning Qi.

The Mountain Ancestor’s Illusion then looked at the mysterious small tree and found it had also fallen into Ning Qi’s hands.

"Mm?"

The Mountain Ancestor’s Illusion instantly figured out the situation; although he did not understand what had happened, he immediately launched an attack on Ning Qi.

He only saw his Primordial Spirit Power instantly condense into a single Wooden Thorn.

Whoosh!

He shot straight at the center of Ning Qi’s brow.

However, Ning Qi had long since anticipated it and had already placed two fingers before the center of his brow, easily pinching it in place.

Clang!

The Wooden Thorn in Ning Qi’s hand struggled ceaselessly, actually emitting a ringing clang like metal.

On the Wooden Thorn, the Mountain Ancestor’s head seemed to appear; he once more fixed his gaze on Ning Qi, an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Who exactly are you? Why has your strength increased so much in such a short time?"
