Chapter 1012 - 437: Perishing to Become Immortal

Within the Sea of Realms.

A four-armed, four-legged figure resembling a divine statue was traversing the Sea of Realms in a certain direction.

Oddly enough, such a grand gesture by the Mountain Ancestor didn’t cause any ripple in the Sea of Realms.

He was making his way toward the True Martial Spirit Realm, yet, barely having shifted a short distance, the Mountain Ancestor suddenly noticed the True Martial Spirit Realm further away also moved a certain distance within the Sea of Realms.

The Mountain Ancestor looked directly at the three trapped in his grasp, his blood-red eyes flickering unpredictably.

"I almost forgot, the Spirit Realm is controlled by its own will. But do you really think that world can escape my grasp?"

Ning Qi remained seated in the void, disregarding his musings.

Meanwhile, the Sea Ancestor and Saint Ancestor gazed at the distant True Martial Spirit Realm, their hearts racing.

The Mountain Ancestor snorted coldly, then increased his speed instantly by double as he stepped on the energy of the Sea of Realms with his four feet.

He was like an enormous humanoid giant boat, the four feet transforming into giant paddles that propelled him swiftly toward the location of the True Martial Spirit Realm.

In the blink of an eye, the Mountain Ancestor closed the distance between himself and the True Martial Spirit Realm.

However, this lasted only a few seconds; soon, the True Martial Spirit Realm’s speed within the Sea of Realms abruptly changed, widening the distance from the Mountain Ancestor once more.

The vast True Martial Spirit Realm was supposed to be incredibly cumbersome, yet at this moment, it displayed unparalleled agility.

Mountain Ancestor: "..."

This sight slowed the racing hearts of the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor.

Clearly, Ning Qi still had some preparation, indicating that they hadn’t reached a dead end yet.

Anyone observing from afar would see the True Martial Spirit Realm as a massive bait thrown into the Sea of Realms, and the Mountain Ancestor had become like a barbarian fish chasing the bait.

The Mountain Ancestor was evidently unwilling to give up so easily.

He moved silently forward, clouds and mist rising under his gigantic feet, his speed doubling again.

Unlike the world within, the energy in the Sea of Realms was extremely unbalanced and chaotic.

Even though the Mountain Ancestor seemed to calm the ripples caused by the surrounding Sea of Realms, the nature of energy flow within it would never change.

Thus, the Mountain Ancestor could only traverse the Sea of Realms in this manner.

Within the world, cultivators of their caliber could tear open the void and use space shifting, but in the Sea of Realms, such methods were ineffective.

Above the True Martial Spirit Realm, a vague silhouette sat cross-legged.

That was Ning Qi, left there to manipulate the power of the True Martial Spirit Realm.

The silhouette watched as the Mountain Ancestor increased his speed, prompting the True Martial Spirit Realm to enhance its speed as well.

The entire True Martial Spirit Realm, although many times larger than the Mountain Ancestor’s contracted Dharma Aspect, moved within the Sea of Realms without any resistance.

This scene again left the Mountain Ancestor speechless.

Whenever the Mountain Ancestor increased his speed, he needed to counteract the opposing force from within the Sea of Realms.

Moreover, he seemed to consistently avoid causing ripples in the Sea of Realms, always using more powerful forces to calm them.

Thus, when he saw the True Martial Spirit Realm being more agile than himself, the Mountain Ancestor’s heart was nearly breaking!

He had thought Ning Qi would be difficult to deal with, only to discover that Ning Qi’s world was equally challenging.

Ning Qi’s will kept observing the Mountain Ancestor’s movements.

Seeing the Mountain Ancestor calm the ripples of the Sea of Realms each time intrigued Ning Qi.

"Why does he always try to calm the ripples caused by the Sea of Realms after he’s increased his speed? With his current strength, in this Sea of Realms, he should not fear even if countless fierce beasts exist, or even those twisted monsters formed by previous remnants."

Ning Qi felt this point was exceptionally crucial.

Suddenly, as Ning Qi pondered, the Mountain Ancestor’s speed burst forth several times over.

Ning Qi, momentarily unprepared, let the Mountain Ancestor close half the distance between them.

Ning Qi didn’t panic but continued manipulating the True Martial Spirit Realm, adjusting its speed, and gradually widening the gap between it and the Mountain Ancestor’s Dharma Aspect.

After he fused with the Sea of Realms’ energy, he made the entire True Martial Spirit Realm viewed by the Sea of Realms as one with it.

Thus, unlike the Mountain Ancestor, he did not need to use his own energy to calm the Sea of Realms’ ripples each time.

Moreover, the force required for Ning Qi to shift the True Martial Spirit Realm was almost negligible.

Because he could manipulate the Sea of Realms’ energy to propel it forward.

This time, Ning Qi didn’t swiftly widen the gap between them but kept it so the Mountain Ancestor believed he could hope to close the distance.

Watching this scene, the four blood-red eyes on the Mountain Ancestor’s two faces seemed to gain a hint of hopeful color.

As he was about to use a secret technique to increase his speed, suddenly, the will of Ning Qi on the True Martial Spirit Realm directly manipulated the Sea of Realms’ energy.

Instantly, the entire Sea of Realms surged, forming a giant wave that crashed toward the Mountain Ancestor.

The Mountain Ancestor’s pupils shrank uncontrollably upon seeing this.

"What’s happening?"

He had no choice but to use his own strength to calm the incoming wave and restore tranquility.

After achieving calmness, the Mountain Ancestor’s emotion shifted from speechlessness to unease.

His power had been raised to the brink of breakthrough, using his dual-faced Dharma Aspect, yet he still couldn’t catch up to a massive Spirit Realm.

Moreover, that Spirit Realm seemed capable of manipulating the Sea of Realms’ energy to prevent him from approaching, which was frightening.

Clearly, this was an unforeseen circumstance for the Mountain Ancestor.

He had thought this would be enough to settle with Ning Qi, but unexpected developments arose.

The Mountain Ancestor’s Dharma Body suddenly stopped moving in the Sea of Realms.

His gaze turned again to the three people trapped under the enclosure of his three palms: Ning Qi and the others.
