Chapter 909: Chapter 387: A Bright Moon Rises Beneath the Sea (2)

He no longer used the Suppression Word Technique but deployed the Hundred Character Divine Techniques.

Over a hundred dazzling golden characters emerged from his body, instantly forming a protective shield with a diameter of over a hundred meters around him.

Unlike when he previously engaged with Ning Qi, the Saint Ancestor at this moment unleashed the power of these hundred characters to its fullest.

These characters were not merely defensive; they seemed to come alive, writhing in the void like swimming tadpoles, transforming into ancient scripts.

Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, Three begets all things!

These hundred characters were transformed into a hundred majestic essays!

Ning Qi was slightly moved upon witnessing this spectacle.

Good heavens, did that old man hold back when fighting me?

Or is it that this avatar now embodies more of his true body’s power than the previous one he sent?

Ning Qi thought it was likely the latter.

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar was safeguarded by the hundred majestic essays.

Within it, he ceaselessly used his index finger as a pen, furiously writing in the void.

With his rapid writing, one of the hundred majestic essays suddenly became more resplendent.

The other ninety-nine essays, like droplets, merged into that brilliant essay.

Ning Qi’s gaze focused intently on that essay, and he saw some fragments of it.

"Floods raging, devastating the world... Yu dredged the nine rivers, guiding them to flow into the seas."

This was an essay on flood management, seemingly recounting the story of a hero who passed by his home three times without entering, governing the floods of the nation.

The Sea Ancestor’s avatar was also gazing at the essay and suddenly snapped her fingers.

Instantly, the entire Peach Blossom Spring Space began to ripple continuously, with all ripples pressing towards the Saint Ancestor’s avatar’s location.

Ding dong ding dong!

Accompanying them were sounds of ’ding dong,’ unclear whether they were the sound of flowing water or spatial fluctuations.

In an instant, countless ripples enveloped the Saint Ancestor’s avatar’s location.

The majestic essay he had created continued to emit radiant lights, with characters dancing, sorting, and channeling those spatial ripples.

The sound of ’ding dong’ seemed to gradually fade away.

"The power of the sea combined with the power of space is pervasive; no matter how strong your shield of word and painting is, how can it stop my infiltration?"

The Sea Ancestor’s avatar laughed softly, her figure becoming blurred within the Peach Blossom Spring Space, as if merging with the vast ocean.

The spatial ripples, which had just been sorted by the Saint Ancestor’s avatar, became dense once more.

That space appeared like meatballs dropped into a hot oil pot, continuously rising and falling, sputtering.

Ning Qi clearly saw some spatial ripples penetrating the Saint Ancestor’s defensive power, entering within.

They seemed like water, seemed like waves, seemed like invisible spatial forces, with some condensing into virtual projections of marine life, all attacking the Saint Ancestor’s avatar within.

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar looked solemn, surprisingly using his Rule, manifesting a large Dharma Pen in front of him.

He grasped the Dharma Pen, touching various approaching forces.

Swish swish swish!

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar treated the Sea Ancestor’s power as ink for his pen, handling the situation with an elegance that achieved perfection.

"Worthy of being the Ancestor of the Vast Realm!"

The voice of the Sea Ancestor’s avatar resonated from somewhere, and the scene of the battle changed again.

Ning Qi saw the spatial ripples surrounding the Saint Ancestor’s avatar suddenly halt, completely transforming into an ocean, burying the Saint Ancestor within.

The next moment, the Saint Ancestor’s avatar, along with his protective shield, was submerged to the sea’s bottom.

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar attempted to break free, but in the tumultuous currents of that vast sea, his power was continuously dissolved, never allowing him to escape.

Moreover, accompanied by a force of submersion, it constantly pulled him deeper within.

At that moment, no matter how he wielded the Dharma Pen, the Saint Ancestor’s avatar could not absorb the overwhelming flows of water.

Before engaging with the Sea Ancestor’s avatar, he hadn’t anticipated that the longer he fought, the more disadvantageous it would become for him.

The Sea Ancestor could continuously magnify her own advantages and relentlessly dissipate his power.

And the Peach Blossom Spring Space had been completely transformed into a watery world by the Sea Ancestor.

This ability of the Sea Ancestor’s avatar to convert the enemy’s territory into her own domain gave Ning Qi much insight.

Ning Qi continued to watch intently.

In the depths of the ocean, darkness was profound.

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar could be seen because his Hundred Character Divine Techniques still emitted a brilliant light, resisting the intrusion of seawater.

Vaguely, another blurred light shadow seemed to rise from the sea’s bottom.

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar instantly sensed it, immediately gazing at the blurred light shadow emerging from the sea floor.

He squinted slightly, as even with his force, he couldn’t see clearly.

However, that halo seemed like his mirror reflection, yet also resembled something else.

"This woman is evidently not simple; I must be influenced by her powers affecting my judgment. Perhaps this is Illusion Power?"

Ning Qi, from high above, activated the Perception Eyes of Gold.

With just one glance, Ning Qi, like the Saint Ancestor’s avatar, couldn’t discern what was appearing at the sea bed.

However, in the next moment, Ning Qi discreetly channeled the forces inside him: Mountain and Sea, Vast Realm, Sea of Realms, True Martial Power, into the Perception Eyes of Gold.

He finally saw what was inside clearly.

It was a Dharma Aspect as bright as a full moon!

Moon rising from the sea floor?

Ordinarily, would the moon not rise above the sea?

Ning Qi was slightly taken aback, intrigued by what kind of Divine Techniques this could be.

"Sea Moon, Moon Sea; no wonder her sect was named the Moon Sea Immortal Sect; turns out the moon name is not without reason!"

Previously, Ning Qi had encountered so many cultivators under the Sea Ancestor, including the Moon Sea Immortal Sect’s leader Zhao Yujun, without ever witnessing related Divine Techniques from her.

It appears this Divine Techniques is a hidden power of the Sea Ancestor’s, not passed on to others.

Under Ning Qi’s gaze, water rippled around the bright moon, while its own moonlight also exuded an indistinct hue.

Ning Qi was confident that this Divine Techniques was one rarely anyone could truly comprehend.

The bright moon suddenly moved, flying directly towards the Saint Ancestor’s avatar’s location.

Instantly, Ning Qi saw the moon reflecting the current state of the Saint Ancestor’s avatar, like a magic mirror.

The moon shadow was bright and clear, completely replicating the scene identical to the Saint Ancestor’s avatar’s current situation.

Crash!

Once the Dharma Aspect reflected the state of the Saint Ancestor’s avatar, it automatically peeled off a painting.

The scroll floated at the sea bed, drilled into the protective shield of the Saint Ancestor’s avatar.

Instantly, Ning Qi saw two Saint Ancestor avatars inside attacking each other.

The magical might at the sea bed stirred waves continuously.

The moonlight illuminated and calmed everything once more.

Ning Qi surprisingly couldn’t perceive the specific location of the Sea Ancestor’s avatar; she seemed omnipresent.

The entire Peach Blossom Spring Space, the entire ocean, even the bright moon, and the illusion battling the Saint Ancestor’s avatar all resembled incarnations of the Sea Ancestor.

"..."

For the first time, Ning Qi found the Sea Ancestor somewhat troublesome.

Ultimately, the illusion peeled off by the bright moon could not withstand the Saint Ancestor’s avatar and was slain by a Suppression Word Technique!

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar spoke with a voice: "Haven’t you had enough fun yet? For cultivators who have reached our level, no amount of illusions could ever defeat us!"

"Oh, really?" the Sea Ancestor’s avatar replied.

The bright moon at the sea floor emitted its moonlight.

In an instant, it replicated ten images of the Saint Ancestor’s avatar, all drilling into his protective shield.

At that moment, the protective shield of the Saint Ancestor’s Hundred Character Divine Techniques seemed incapable of stopping these illusions.

Or perhaps these illusions inherently lacked substance; everything was a reflection of the Saint Ancestor avatar’s own power, altogether mysterious.

Surrounded by ten illusions, the Saint Ancestor’s avatar opened and closed his aged eyes, saying: "Nine Word Demon-Subjugating True Mantra!"

Instantly, the Divine Techniques he used in his battle with Ning Qi reappeared.

Nine dazzling golden special characters flew out from the Saint Ancestor’s avatar’s mouth.

Each character glowed with a hue like gold, forming a large sphere, as radiant as the sun.

The nine words linked together, flying around the Saint Ancestor’s avatar, instantly annihilating the nine incoming illusions!

But in the next second, the bright moon at the sea floor soared across horizontally, crashing onto the protective shield of the Saint Ancestor’s avatar.

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar was immediately knocked up from the sea floor, along with the summoned Nine Word Golden Sun, flying towards Ning Qi’s location!

Ning Qi: "???"
