Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Chapter 444 War Immortal
Before leaving, Ning Qi left behind a portion of his energy, which transformed into a reconnaissance clone that kept a close eye on the changes in the Mountain Ancestor.

At this moment, seeing the silver light disappear and a burly figure radiating the silver glow of a full moon emerge from it, Ning Qi's pupils involuntarily contracted.

"Such a powerful aura..."

Ning Qi stared at the Mountain Ancestor who had appeared in the distance.

The mountain ancestor's immortal body shone brightly, every inch of his exposed skin reflecting a crystal-clear luster. At a glance, one could tell that it was a pure body unlike any other in the world.

The Mountain Ancestor simply stood in the Boundary Sea, and his entire being was the center of this Boundary Sea.

The Boundary Sea was originally devoid of light, but the Mountain Ancestor was the only radiance within it.

He appeared so pure and clear in the Boundary Sea, untouched by the mortal world.

Ning Qi was particularly shocked when he saw Shan Zu's furrowed brows and nose-covering posture.

"He seems to have become more sensitive now, and he utterly loathes the Boundary Sea..."

Ning Qi couldn't help but recall what the Holy Ancestor had said before: becoming an immortal means leaving the muddy sea of ​​the boundary and thus remaining untainted.

Ning Qi hadn't believed it before, but seeing this scene now, he was starting to believe it for the first time.

"His immortal body is immaculate, and his spiritual power is inexhaustible. I wonder if the monster I summoned can defeat him?"

Ning Qi thought to himself.

Suddenly, Ning Qi saw the Mountain Ancestor's eyes sweep across him, looking in his direction.

"Did you think I wouldn't be able to find you just because you're hiding in the Boundary Sea?"

A cold and condescending voice came instantly, but the speed of the mountain ancestor was even faster than the voice.

Ning Qi discovered that the Mountain Ancestor's Dharma Image was no longer in front of him; the distance was shrouded in darkness, while the area in front of him had become much brighter.

He felt himself surrounded by pure light and quickly turned around to look.

Sure enough, the Mountain Ancestor had already teleported behind him, his strong arm reaching out, a large hand grabbing towards the back of his neck.

Whoosh!
Ning Qi reacted quickly, instantly darting backward like a fish, fleeing from the Mountain Ancestor and disappearing into the dark Boundary Sea in the distance.

Even though this was just a clone he left behind to monitor the Mountain Ancestor, it unleashed its greatest power at this moment.

Moreover, it completely merged into the Boundary Sea, attempting to evade the Mountain Ancestor's perception.

However, Shan Zu was slightly taken aback, and then immediately chased after Ning Qi's hiding place.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to have this ability, to be able to merge with the Boundary Sea, but you underestimate the power of immortals."

"Right now, you're just like the Boundary Sea, emanating an utterly repulsive stench. How could I not know where you are?"

The Mountain Ancestor automatically emitted a full moon's silvery glow. Wherever he appeared, the energy of the boundary sea there would retreat from the range of his immortal light, just as darkness encounters light.

The next second, Ning Qi's clone was forced out of the Boundary Sea by the immortal light.

The Mountain Ancestor closed in on him and reached for Ning Qi again.

Ning Qi tried to escape again using the same old trick.

However, the immortal light surrounding the Mountain Ancestor instantly materialized, transforming into a light cage that trapped Ning Qi inside.

At the same time, strands of radiant immortal light, like needles, pierced into his body, fixing him in mid-air.

"Kid, why aren't you running anymore? Your performance in our previous fight was quite impressive, but now... heh..."

"The mountain ancestor said jokingly."

Ning Qi remained silent, not even showing a trace of pain on his face.

He carefully sensed the power of the Mountain Ancestor and the celestial light piercing him.

It was an extremely pure power, far surpassing spiritual power, the power of rules, the power of the world, and even the power of the boundary sea in quality...

You could even say it's a perfect power...

Why perfection?

All the forces Ning Qi had encountered before contained impurities to varying degrees.

Even as a cultivator's realm continues to advance, and their power is constantly refined and tempered, it is impossible to achieve perfection.

Even someone as skilled as Ning Qi couldn't achieve perfection; he wouldn't dare say he was 100% free of impurities.

Not to mention, Ning Qi also possesses a variety of powers.

However, in Ning Qi's perception, the immortal light emanating from the Mountain Ancestor was completely free of any impurities, and its quality far surpassed all his other powers.

"Is this the power after becoming an immortal?" Ning Qi wondered to himself.

Seeing Ning Qi's stubborn and unyielding expression, the Mountain Ancestor deliberately manipulated the immortal light that had been immobilizing him, rapidly moving it back and forth within Ning Qi's body.

Strands of celestial light, like the sharpest needles in the world, relentlessly attacked Ning Qi's clone.

Despite enduring endless pain, Ning Qi still clenched his teeth.

He was still sensing the celestial light, and the clearest way to feel it was through personal experience and observation.

Although Ning Qi's clone was immobilized by the Mountain Ancestor, at his level, the power within him could be considered a part of him.

He can perceive even the slightest changes and differences.

The divine light, sharp as needles, not only pierced his flesh but also annihilated the power within him.

Every bit of power, when colliding with the mountain ancestor's immortal light, was like a rusty, broken blade battling against an unparalleled divine weapon.

The broken blade had absolutely no fighting power; at most, it could only slightly slow down the speed of the peerless divine weapon.

As Ning Qi sensed everything, a smile unexpectedly appeared on his lips.

When Shanzu saw the expression on his face, he realized that something was wrong.

He pointed at Ning Qi, and the immortal light stirred like flowing water, completely tearing Ning Qi apart.

"So it really is a clone?"

The Mountain Ancestor gazed at the empty void before him and looked around.

"You think you can evade my detection with just a clone? I'll say it again, you underestimate the realm of immortals. I will find you, those two, and your entire world!"

"Kid, you'd better try to hide yourself, but the outcome won't change anything."

The Mountain Ancestor formed a magic seal with his hands and said, "The Immortal Eye of Buzhou!"

In an instant, his two celestial eyes, as bright as full moons, shimmered with silver light, each ray of light resembling a speck of stardust upon closer inspection.

Stardust, following a mysterious trajectory, combined within his pupils to form an overlapping mountain-shaped imprint.

The immortal eyes gazed upon the Boundary Sea, scanning it inch by inch.

Suddenly, the mountain ancestor looked in a certain direction and hummed in agreement.

"found it!"

In the next instant, the Mountain Ancestor, like a full moon, swept across the Boundary Sea, traversed the Blackwater Zone, and teleported to the Boundary Sea region he sensed, almost reaching the vicinity of the Boundary Sea's turbulent area.

"Come out!"

The celestial light shone brightly, illuminating this realm of the sea with unparalleled clarity.

The terrifying power of immortality surged, and the energy of the Boundary Sea receded instantly like a tide.

The mountain ancestor saw everything clearly ahead, but the expression on his face changed instantly.

"This is……"

A series of terrifying roars entered his ears.

A vast army of mangled remains, made up of countless fragments of flesh and blood, was crossing the final turbulent vortex, brandishing their severed limbs and baring their sharp teeth, as they charged toward him!
Even the Mountain Ancestor felt a chill run down his spine for a moment as he gazed at the endless army crossing the sea. "A Twisted Monster from the Boundary Sea?"

In the next instant, the Mountain Ancestor suddenly retreated backward.

A beam of divine light streaked across the sky, and the Mountain Ancestor, amidst it, suddenly bent over, retching repeatedly!

If he were to look at the Boundary Sea again after becoming an immortal, he would find it incredibly filthy, making it difficult for his immortal body to adapt.

But compared to what's in front of him, Shanzu felt it was already quite clean.

These twisted monsters before him made Shan Zu feel as if he had seen the most disgusting things in the world and smelled the most disgusting odors.

He himself was extremely evil, and was willing to sacrifice all living beings in order to become an immortal.

But the twisted monster before him still made his newly born immortal body feel disgusted, and he couldn't help but feel nauseous and vomit.

"Damn it, why has such a twisted monster army appeared? Did Ning Qi bring it here?"

The Mountain Ancestor finally managed to stop the abnormal reaction of the immortal body.

He never expected that he would encounter these things immediately after becoming an immortal.

Those who attain immortality vow to escape the Boundary Sea, and the twisted monsters within it are undoubtedly the most disgusting beings in the Boundary Sea.

Not only do the worlds within the Boundary Sea fear them, but the ferocious beasts within the Boundary Sea also fear them. Even an immortal like him, while not fearing them, considers them the most disgusting and twisted monsters.

Not to mention, it's an endless army of twisted monsters.

Twisted monsters are the greatest enemies of those who achieve immortality!
This wasn't defined by the Mountain Ancestor, but rather it was something the Immortal Sect told him at the moment he became an immortal, according to his lineage!
That's why the Mountain Ancestor reacted so strongly.

On the other side of the boundary sea, Ning Qi remained hidden.

He naturally sensed that the clone he left behind had died at the hands of the Mountain Ancestor, but all of the clone's senses were still fed back into Ning Qi's main body.

When the Mountain Ancestor destroyed his clone, Ning Qi realized that the Mountain Ancestor should be able to find him, who was rushing back from the depths of the Boundary Sea.

Therefore, Ning Qi directly adopted a defensive strategy instead of an offensive one.

He threw the rope, which he had gathered from the power of the Mountain Ancestor, away with a thud.

He left a trace of his own aura in front of him and activated it so that the Mountain Ancestor could sense it as quickly as possible.

Then, Ning Qi used his strongest concealment technique to move away from the area of ​​the Boundary Sea that was roughly illuminated by the Mountain Ancestor's Immortal Light.

Then, the scene from before unfolded.

Ning Qi looked at the Mountain Ancestor who was retreating in all directions, never expecting that the twisted monster could have such a miraculous effect.

"What's going on? He's already become an immortal, so why is he avoiding this army of twisted monsters like this?"

Ning Qi's eyes were full of incomprehension.

His gaze fell upon the army of twisted monsters.

The army of twisted monsters was originally lured here by Ning Qi using the power of the Mountain Ancestor. Although they did not arrive before the Mountain Ancestor became an immortal, the two still met.

Although the power of the Mountain Ancestor had undergone a qualitative leap from the inside out after becoming an immortal, the twisted monster still recognized the Mountain Ancestor's scent.

After encountering the Mountain Ancestor, they were all momentarily stunned by the turbulent currents of the Boundary Sea.

It's like a hungry wild beast out hunting for food, suddenly smelling something delicious, and when it pauses, the smell becomes even clearer.

This seemed to trigger a terrible change within the army of twisted monsters.

Ning Qi saw that the blood-red eyes of the twisted monsters at the front seemed to have been stimulated, and suddenly became several times brighter, like bright searchlights!

At the same time, the twisted monster at the front suddenly swelled up, like a corpse expanding, radiating an even more terrifying and evil power.

Then, wisps of black energy began to emanate from the twisted monster at the front, spreading to the endless army behind. This scene made Ning Qi feel as if they were transmitting some kind of signal.

The signal continued unabated, and the resulting black aura, as large as a mountain, enveloped all the twisted monsters.

The next second, the boundary sea surged and boiled, as if a tsunami had struck, with giant waves churning endlessly!

Faintly, a thin black line shot into the deeper part of the Boundary Sea.

Ning Qi seemed to understand; they seemed to be sending signals toward their source!

"Why are they reacting so strongly?" Ning Qi was still puzzled.

After all, this was his second time dealing with these twisted monsters.

The first time was when the Holy Ancestor summoned them to fight, targeting these cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm.

But at that time, they were at most driven by a desire for destruction and slaughter, wanting to kill everyone.

The second instance was Ning Qi's recent act of luring the enemy.

These monsters sensed the bait Ning Qi had thrown, but their reaction wasn't as intense as it is now.

It was as if they had encountered the immortal mountain ancestor, and thus found it to be the most delicious prey, just as the monsters had encountered Tang Sanzang and were determined to have a meal with him.

"Roar!"

The Boundary Sea was boiling, and countless twisted monsters flew across the turbulent waters of the Boundary Sea like flying fish in the sea.

Countless mangled bodies entered the Blackwater region of the Boundary Sea without any hesitation, heading straight for the Mountain Ancestor, whose body was radiating immortal light in the distance.

"Damn it, we've attracted these monsters! This is troublesome!"

The Mountain Ancestor had straightened his immortal body, looked around, and was continuing to search for the whereabouts of Ning Qi and the others.

But seeing those twisted monsters rushing towards him recklessly, Shan Zu had no choice but to focus his attention on the present and temporarily ignore the search for Ning Qi and the others.

He did not retreat as he had done before, but instead chose to fight directly.

"Die, you disgusting beings!"

The Mountain Ancestor unleashed a palm strike directly at the army of twisted monsters.

Suddenly, a giant hand, entirely formed from silvery immortal light, slammed towards him!

The giant palm, as large as a small mountain, stretched across the boundary sea, acting like an impenetrable wall that blocked all the twisted monsters that rushed towards it.

Strands of celestial light emanated from the giant palm, hanging down like needles.

Instantly, some twisted monsters were hit by the divine light and turned into a stream of black water.

As Ning Qi watched the two sides clash, he felt that the Mountain Ancestor had completely lost his previous aloof and superior air.

Ning Qi noticed the twisted monster turning into black water, and his eyes flashed.

"No, why is that?"

Ning Qi had killed the Twisted Monster before.

At first, he killed the twisted monsters in a normal way. Even if he shattered them along with the space, these monsters would not turn into black water, but into dust, but they could still reassemble and be reborn.

Later, Ning Qi used boundless evil energy to destroy the twisted monster, finally killing it completely.

But they did not turn into black water; instead, they all seemed to wither and turn to ash, disappearing with the wind.

However, within their bodies were streaks of black energy, which had merged with boundless evil energy.

This was the first time Ning Qi had ever seen the water turn black.

Ning Qi continued reading.

One after another, the twisted monsters were slain by the divine light, turning into black rain that dripped into the void.

But the horde of twisted monsters that followed showed no fear whatsoever and continued their rampage towards the Mountain Ancestor.

Gradually, more and more twisted monsters were destroyed, and more and more black raindrops floated in the void.
