Chapter 481 Victory
Wei Xianming is clearly already a third-rank True Immortal.
Now, he condensed a ball of pitch-black boundary sea energy in his palm, seemingly not as disgusted with boundary sea energy as the Mountain Ancestor and Holy Ancestor who had become immortals.
Firstly, it is because he has condensed the Dao Fruit, which can automatically shield the energy of the Boundary Sea and does not affect his immortal body.
Secondly, Wei Xian also possessed the remnants of Buzhou Mountain and was even infused with the power within Buzhou Mountain, causing him to become possessed by a demon for a time.
Although the remnant of Mount Buzhou that he obtained was lost in a small world and not in the Boundary Sea, it was still washed and attacked by a lot of energy from the Boundary Sea when it broke apart and crossed the Boundary Sea.
Therefore, when Wei Xian obtained the remnant of Buzhou Mountain, it still contained a large amount of energy from the Boundary Sea.
For the past thousand years, Wei Xian has been cleansing the energy of the Boundary Sea.
Even now, he has not been able to completely cleanse the energy of the Boundary Sea, which is why the remnants of Mount Buzhou in his hand are pale gray.
Having experienced all of this, Wei Xian naturally didn't reject the energy of the Boundary Sea like other immortals.
As a result, he also possessed an additional ability compared to other immortals: the ability to utilize the energy of the Boundary Sea to fight enemies.
Within Wei Xian's large hand, the energy of the Boundary Sea condensed into a ball of pitch-black light, as if gathering the deepest darkness and chaos in the world.
Wei Xian struck Ning Qi again with his palm, who seemed to have lost his self-awareness.
The raging energy of the Boundary Sea instantly enveloped Ning Qi, constantly colliding with the nascent Great Dao that automatically protected his body.
Sizzle!
Despite the continuous invasion of the boundary sea's energy, the rudimentary rune array still held the upper hand.
In response, Wei Xian continuously extracted more power from the Boundary Sea, hoping to break through Ning Qi's protective Dao Fruit with the boundless energy of the Boundary Sea.
The energy from the Boundary Sea surged forth, forming enormous waves that crashed down upon Ning Qi.
Ning Qi was completely submerged in the energy of the Boundary Sea, as if he had sunk into an endless abyss, leaving only darkness.
Click!
Suddenly, Wei Xian heard a crisp sound.
A victorious smile appeared on his face; the nascent form of the Great Dao had been breached!
He saw countless energies from the Boundary Sea, like rabid dogs tearing at his flesh, rushing straight at Ning Qi's body.
Wei Xian did not stop there. Instead, he used the power of the Great Dao to summon more energy from the Boundary Sea, which impacted Ning Qi's body.
"Judging from his immortal power, I only need to use my Great Dao power and mobilize some Boundary Sea energy. With the Great Dao power combined with the Boundary Sea energy for double suppression, I can completely subdue him, and then he will have no choice but to admit defeat."
Wei Xian was slightly excited; the remnant of Buzhou Mountain held by Ning Qi was already his.
Not only that, Ning Qi, along with two True Immortals under his command, and the True Martial Spirit Realm, will also join them.
To be honest, after venturing into the Boundary Sea for so long, Wei Xian has become increasingly aware of why he always encounters so many cruel things.
Firstly, he lacked the necessary strength, and secondly, he did not form a team.
Often, those who bully the weak tend to band together, while good people don't really form large groups to protect each other.
Therefore, Wei Xian readily agreed to Lin Chen's previous suggestion.
Of course, part of this was also out of his pity for Ning Qi and the others, as well as for the True Martial Spirit Realm.
With the remnant of Buzhou Mountain in his possession, he and Lin Chen's strength would be greatly enhanced, allowing them to leave without a trace.
But Wei Xian did not forget that there was another person with the remains of Buzhou Mountain on his way to this place.
If the other party is an utterly wicked person, they might still not let them go even if they find Ning Qi and the others, as well as the aura of Mount Buzhou in the True Martial Spirit Realm.
Wei Xian had encountered countless such wicked people throughout his life.
After fighting Ning Qi, he felt that Ning Qi and the others were still kind and good, unlike those who would turn to darkness for power. Therefore, Wei Xian was willing to take Ning Qi and the others in.
In an instant, Wei Xian's mind flashed through the gains from the victory and how to handle the aftermath.
What he didn't notice was that the energy from the Boundary Sea entered Ning Qi's body without exerting any suppressive force on him.
It wasn't until quite a while later, when the unusual movements emanating from Ning Qi, that Wei Xian sensed something was wrong.
Suddenly, a small whirlpool formed in the black waves ahead.
The vortex spun rapidly, accelerating at an astonishing speed, and thus grew larger and larger.
The black waves that had engulfed Ning Qi were rapidly thinning and fading as the whirlpool swirled around them.
Wei Xian was shocked to see that the waves of the Boundary Sea covering Ning Qi disappeared in the blink of an eye, all of them being sucked into Ning Qi's body by the vortex.
"What's going on? Why is the energy from the Boundary Sea being actively absorbed into his body?"
Wei Xian stared at the scene before him in utter disbelief.
In his view, Ning Qi was also an immortal, so he should naturally be extremely averse to and disgusted by the energy of the Boundary Sea.
Therefore, Wei Xian chose to use the power of the Dao Fruit to manipulate the energy of the Boundary Sea to suppress Ning Qi.
But it seems that's not the case now; his judgment was flawed.
The energy of the Boundary Sea not only failed to suppress Ning Qi, but on the contrary, Ning Qi's body was like a bottomless pit, actively absorbing the energy of the Boundary Sea. This...
Wei Xian sensed something was wrong and reacted extremely quickly.
He flew across the sky once more, his palm radiating immortal power, and grabbed at Ning Qi without hesitation.
Victory was imminent. Even if something happened that he didn't understand, as long as he continued to control Ning Qi, that was enough.
Just as his palm approached Ning Qi's body, a terrifying force erupted from Ning Qi's body, instantly shaking his palm away.
Wei Xian was stunned.
Previously, it was one thing to have the nascent form of the Great Dao protecting him, but why is Ning Qi still able to take the initiative to defend himself now?
Wasn't he affected by the fruits of his own seven emotions?
Wei Xian was slightly wary, but still struck Ning Qi with a palm.
This time, he condensed his immortal power in his palm, forming a divine power that resembled a full moon.
"The Celestial Moon Condenses!"
Whoosh!
A full moon emitted a hazy halo, carrying an incomparably sharp force, as it enveloped Ning Qi.
Suddenly, Ning Qi opened his eyes.
His eyes, black and white, shone brightly, as if they saw through everything.
Wei Xian's pupils dilated involuntarily.
How could Ning Qi possibly have woken up from the influence of the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit and broken free from his control?
His hands continued their work, and the Immortal Moon Cage continued to descend upon Ning Qi.
The full moon instantly magnified and flew out, exquisite and moist, trapping Ning Qi in the blink of an eye, like a peculiar prison.
This supernatural power comes from an ancient legend: Once upon a time, there was a mortal woman in the lower realm who was chosen to serve the emperor in the palace because of her beauty.
The emperor somehow found a box of elixirs. A mortal woman, wanting to escape the prison-like life in the palace, stole and ate all the elixirs, and thus ascended to the celestial realm in broad daylight.
However, she had no foundation in the celestial realm and repeatedly caused trouble because of her beauty, and was eventually banished to the Moon Palace.
She was filled with resentment, with nowhere to escape in the world, and she never expected that she would feel the same way in the immortal realm.
The story of the Moon Palace becoming a prison is the origin of this supernatural power.
Once this supernatural power traps an opponent, it seals the immortal power within their body, rendering them unable to resist.
Wei Xian looked at Ning Qi, who was trapped in the Immortal Moon Cage, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "You lost!"
"Yeah?"
Ning Qi remained calm and composed within the fairy cage.
He merely glanced around at the immortal prison that imprisoned him, and then felt a strange sealing force that blocked the immortal power flowing within his body.
With Wei Xian's cultivation level as a third-grade True Immortal, sealing him would be an easy task.
"This technique is quite good."
Ning Qi even had the leisure to appreciate it.
He shook his head again and said, "Unfortunately, this cage can only seal immortal power!"
Ning Qi emitted wisps of gray-black energy from his body, causing the exquisite and moist immortal prison to become slightly turbid.
"Boundary Sea Energy?"
Wei Xian was stunned for a moment.
But then, the crystal-clear fairy prison instantly became filthy, turning from pure white to pitch black, as if a scene of good triumphing over evil was unfolding!
Whoosh!
Ning Qi tore the immortal prison apart with both hands, and he burst out, rushing towards Wei Xian.
"No, this isn't the energy of the Boundary Sea, it's boundless evil energy!"
Wei Xian's face was extremely ugly.
"You are a demon?"
His immortal power surged forth, and he was about to fight Ning Qi again.
Ning Qi conjured a black sun in his palm, using the same technique against Wei Xian, and instantly threw it at him.
The vast black sun rolled across the void.
The two were already extremely close, and Wei Xian had no time to dodge.
His body shone with silver light, and the full moon reappeared, as he tried to use the power of his immortal body to resist the black sun.
But the black sun was like a celestial dog that devoured the moon. It could be seen constantly consuming the silvery light of the full moon, moving forward without any hindrance, and finally swallowed Wei Xian into its belly as well.
The silver light in the void had vanished, replaced by a vast black sun.
Wei Xian was trapped inside and was still struggling.
But every time he struggled, he felt as if two opposing forces were constantly wrapping around him and attacking his full moon immortal body.
"What exactly is this power?"
The more Wei Xian struggled, the tighter he found himself being bound.
Even if he activated the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit, it was still useless.
In the end, he was like prey bound by a spider, with no room to struggle.
Not only that, that terrifying power also completely sealed off all the immortal power within his body.
Wei Xian remained motionless, his eyes fixed on Ning Qi.
His gray eyes held both confusion and deep surprise.
He lost!
He, a True Immortal of the Third Rank, lost to a True Immortal of the First Rank!
As the various powers within Wei Xian's body were sealed, the three people who had fallen into a state of despair in the distance instantly regained their senses.
The Holy Ancestor's eyes were moist, and the Sea Ancestor still had tear stains on his face.
The two stood up, looking at the center of the battle with surprise and uncertainty.
A vast black sun appeared, and Wei Xian was suppressed within it, unable to even move his fingers.
"You won?"
On the other side, aboard the five-colored treasure boat.
Lin Chen slowly regained consciousness, as if he were reliving the scene of his loved ones' passing, his blue eyes filled with bloodshot veins.
He also looked at the two sides in the battle and saw his brother Wei imprisoned in a black sun. His bloodshot blue eyes trembled deeply.
"Brother Wei lost?"
Lin Chen simply refused to believe it. Wei Xian had already condensed a Dao Fruit, so why was he still defeated?
But the reality before him forced him to believe it.
He steered his treasure boat to a spot not far from the two of them, and for a moment, he was speechless.
The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor also came to Ning Qi's side.
The two still looked surprised, shocked by Wei Xian's strength.
This was the first time they had encountered a powerful opponent who had condensed the Dao Fruit. They hadn't expected the power of the Dao Fruit to be so strong that even they were powerless to resist it!
It should be noted that the two of them were merely bystanders and did not participate in the battle; they only suffered the aftermath.
Therefore, the two were even more surprised by Ning Qi.
Ning Qi actually managed to turn the tide and win after they lost their focus.
Ning Qi's strength was clearly greater than they had previously thought.
The Holy Ancestor felt a pang of sadness; he was the only one among the three to have truly become an immortal.
Ning Qi isn't even a true immortal, yet he's already able to defeat a third-rank true immortal.
Seeing that everyone had woken up, Ning Qi felt it was time to settle the score.
He raised his hand and aimed it at the black sun in front of him, as if drawing away some of the suppressing power.
Smoke billowed in the dark sun, revealing Wei Xian's head.
"Do you admit defeat?"
Wei Xian regained some mobility, but instead of looking at Ning Qi, she struggled to turn her neck and look at Lin Chen to the side.
"I'm sorry, Brother Lin, I've lost!"
After Wei Xian admitted defeat to Ning Qi, another bolt of lightning struck down from the Boundary Sea.
The celestial lightning transformed into thunderfire, and with a whoosh, it shot towards Wei Xian's forehead.
Everyone saw that he branded a thunder and fire pattern on Wei Xian's forehead, which then disappeared as if nothing had happened.
But everyone felt a chill in their hearts, realizing what it was.
Before Ning Qi and Wei Xian engaged in battle, they had already made a vow to uphold the Dao.
The celestial laws that linger in the Three Realms will oversee the battle between the two, and a fair trial will be held once one side completely admits defeat.
The black sun dissipated in the Boundary Sea, and Wei Xian emerged from it.
His face was dejected, as if he had suddenly lost everything.
After all, the stakes were too high for the two of them. Not only did he have to hand over the remnants of Buzhou Mountain that he possessed, but he and his brother Lin Chen also had to join Ning Qi and the camp of this suspected human-demon.
Lin Chen also looked dejected.
In front of everyone, he actually slapped himself hard across the face.
"I'm sorry, Brother Wei, it was all my fault for being so talkative..."
He apologized to Wei Xian while smoking.
Wei Xian flashed to his side, took his hand, and comforted him:
“My brother and I are bound by life and death, why should we be like this? We share hardships and joys together, but our goal may be difficult to achieve.”
Wei Xian opened his mouth, and a light gray mountain shadow flew out and landed in his hand.
"Here, this is my remains from Mount Buzhou!"
A deep sense of reluctance flashed across his face, but he still kept his word and, without any hesitation, tossed the remains of Buzhou Mountain to Ning Qi.
Ning Qi and the other two focused their attention on the remains of Buzhou Mountain.
At that moment, a strong killing intent flashed in Lin Chenqing's bloodshot eyes, who was standing next to Wei Xian.
He was unwilling to accept it!
Unwilling to accept Wei Xian's defeat, and unwilling to hand over their remains from Mount Buzhou to Ning Qi, he knew what Mount Linglong meant to them.
It contains the remains of Wei Xian's wife and also embodies their hope of resurrecting their deceased loved ones.
Lin Chen was even more unwilling to join Ning Qi's side and lose his freedom.
In an instant, the Boundary Sea seemed to be slashed open, and a wisp of light shot straight toward Ning Qi and the other two.
"The Immortal Slaying Technique!"
Lin Chen's figure seemed to ethereal, transforming into an invisible attack of divine sense.
Lin Chen was originally a good person, an upright person, who had helped many people.
The last time he helped someone was a thousand years ago, when he assisted Wei Xian.
As a result, the entire family perished.
From then on, Lin Chen's personality changed. He became more cunning, like a bad guy, and learned to break agreements and hurt people in secret.
