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

Chapter 369 A Shocking Reversal
The charred figure rushed towards Sword Ancestor and the others, its eyes filled with astonishing killing intent.

The dark figure was none other than Fan Cheng, who had barely managed to survive.

Now, Fan Cheng is heartbroken and feels he has no way out.

The last thought that came to his mind was to kill the Sword Ancestor and the others, so that Ning Qi could also taste the pain of loneliness!

However, what he didn't know was that Ning Qi had already recognized him.

Moreover, Ning Qi was overjoyed to see that Fan Cheng still had residual lightning from his previous tribulation within his body.

This remaining thunder is a treasure!
Although Ning Qi himself had survived the tribulation of lightning, he still kept the Sword Ancestor and the others in his heart.

Sword Ancestor and other cultivators at the peak of the Integration Realm were born within the Mountain and Sea Realm. If they were to undergo tribulation, the tribulation clouds would be formed entirely by the rules of the Mountain and Sea Realm. If they truly succeeded, wouldn't they become guardians of the Mountain and Sea Realm?
If he were to turn against the Mountain and Sea Realm after that, his relationship with Sword Ancestor and others would become extremely delicate. Caught between the Mountain and Sea Realm and Ning Qi, who should they listen to?
Therefore, Ning Qi is also looking for a suitable time for them to undergo tribulation.

Finding a suitable time for the tribulation is not enough; Ning Qi also needs to ensure that Sword Ancestor and the others are completely freed from the control of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Upon seeing the residual lightning from Fan Cheng's tribulation on his body, Ning Qi immediately had an idea.

He could use this residual lightning as a catalyst to change the tribulations of Sword Ancestor and others, without having to go through the same trouble as he did when he faced his own tribulation!
Ning Qi even possessed a strong sense of self-confidence.

He might be able to control the altered tribulation lightning now.

High above.

Sword Ancestor Qi Keqing and others no longer suppressed their cultivation levels. The various rules and powers within their bodies surged towards their foreheads, causing changes in the world in the blink of an eye.

Above them, countless rules of the Mountain and Sea Realm gathered, condensing into layers of dark clouds in the air.

Although the dark clouds had just gathered, thunder rumbled as soon as they appeared.

Countless bolts of lightning pierced through the dark clouds, occasionally flashing out to illuminate the faces of everyone beneath.

Upon seeing Sword Ancestor and the others undergoing tribulation, the numerous cultivators below quickly fled to distant places.

"Are all these people crazy, choosing to undergo tribulation together?"

When ordinary cultivators are about to undergo the Tribulation of Integrating with the Dao, experienced people often find a secluded place to avoid involving others.

Instead, dozens of figures rushed into the sky, intending to cross the river together here.

Don't they know that the tribulation they attract in this way will be far more intense than the tribulation they undergo alone?

Sword Ancestor and the others were actually unsure of the situation, but upon hearing Ning Qi's telepathic message, they naturally chose to believe him completely.

Since Ning Qi has allowed them to undergo the tribulation now, he must be confident!
At this moment, while undergoing their tribulation, they did not forget to glare at the charred black figures flying towards them.

The opponent's powerful cultivation and aura far surpassed those of the others, and the killing intent emanating from him was so intense that it was almost tangible.

Needless to say, this unlucky guy must be the one who just chased after Ning Qi, but he survived by sheer luck.

Then, after Ning Qi underwent his tribulation, they realized they couldn't kill Ning Qi, so they came to kill them.

However, why Ning Qi didn't capture him but instead let them undergo tribulation remained a mystery to Sword Ancestor and the others.

"kill!"

A chilling, murderous voice burst forth from the delirious Fan Cheng.

He originally intended to attack Sword Ancestor and the others directly, but then he suddenly looked at Thundercloud.

In that instant, Fan Cheng felt a strange sensation.

For some reason, Fan Cheng felt that the thunderclouds gathered by these guys undergoing tribulation were nothing special.

It wasn't because his cultivation level was at the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm, but because after experiencing Ning Qi's thirty-six tribulations of lightning, residual lightning still remained in his body.

The lightning tribulation before him was not even on the same level as the residual lightning within his body!
What surprised him even more was that Fan Cheng clearly felt that the tribulation lightning in the sky resonated with him as soon as it appeared.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and silver lightning bolts danced wildly, but above him, an unusually large vacuum the size of a human figure appeared, as if none of the lightning bolts dared to approach him.

It was as if a hundred birds had met a phoenix, or a mortal had met an emperor.

This miraculous change instantly altered Fan Cheng's mind. He suddenly became extremely excited and rushed straight into the sky.

The roar in the sky grew louder, and the lightning flashes suddenly displayed many more colors.

To Fan Cheng's astonishment, with his involvement, the power of the lightning tribulation increased dramatically.

"Haha, die, all of you! Die!"

Fan Cheng laughed wildly, and from his charred body, revealing dark red flesh, countless bolts of lightning surged forth.

As soon as these bolts of lightning emerged from his body, they mingled into the dark clouds in the sky like tiny dragons.

Immediately, everyone present clearly saw that the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be coated with a layer of blood red, as if affected by the killing intent of Fancheng.

Fan Cheng, like a thunder envoy, seemed to have become the center of the entire lightning tribulation!
His charred body crackled with lightning, as if he were bathing in a sea of ​​thunder.

This change not only shocked those undergoing tribulation, such as the Sword Ancestor, but also made onlookers flee the area as quickly as possible.

"Oh no, the lightning tribulation from before is happening again!"

Whether in the outer domain of the war zone or the inner ring of the middle domain, the three strongest sect leaders who had just been celebrating the end of the tribulation all changed their expressions.

Why has the tribulation lightning appeared again?

Even within the two great spirit realms, the three ancestors who overlooked the war zone were deeply moved.

However, they were ultimately bystanders, not participants, and therefore unaware of the specific circumstances.

Only the illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will, which was following Ning Qi, felt it most clearly.

After all, the tribulations of Sword Ancestor and others were formed from the rules of the Mountain and Sea Realm. As the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, he could fully perceive the changes in the tribulations.

After Brahma City rushed into it, the lightning generated by those rules seemed to have been completely rewritten.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm is gradually losing control over it.

The illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will showed a look of astonishment, muttering, "How could this be?"

It was fine before, but Ning Qi's tribulation lightning was uncontrollable because it was mixed with the rules of the Vast Realm, and even the power of the Boundary Sea.

But now, he is just a Dao Integration Limit cultivator who survived Ning Qi's tribulation by sheer luck. Why would he change the tribulation?
He really couldn't understand!
Ning Qi, standing to the side, silently glanced at the illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will.

It seems we need to deal with Brahma City quickly, otherwise, the more curious the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm becomes, the more it will pry into the matter.

He also looked towards Brahma City, which had plunged into the lightning tribulation.

In fact, he felt the same way as Fan Cheng, also thinking that the tribulation lightning of Jian Zu and others was far too weak.

But Ning Qi felt it more deeply than Fan Cheng. He could not only manipulate those mutated tribulation lightnings, but he could even manipulate Fan Cheng.

In Ning Qi's eyes, Fancheng was like a bomb that could be controlled remotely.

Beneath the thunderclouds.

As Sword Ancestor and the others watched the drastically changed tribulation clouds, which were beginning to resemble the tribulation clouds that Ning Qi had previously overcome, their hearts pounded with anxiety.

Whether it was the charred black figure at the limit of Dao attainment or the tribulation clouds, both made them feel that their lives were hanging by a thread.

"Kid, isn't this going a bit too far? We're not like you!" he whispered to Ning Qi.

Ning Qi replied calmly, "With me here, you can rest assured."

Sword Ancestor glanced at Qi Keqing and the others beside him. He noticed that Qi Keqing's expression was even more resolute than his, and Sword Ancestor smiled helplessly.

Why does this guy seem to trust Ning Qi even more than I do?

Immediately, he prepared for the tribulation.

Looking down at the fleeing crowd once more, Sword Ancestor felt a surge of pride. Who else in the entire Mountain and Sea Realm, besides Ning Qi, would dare to face this calamity?

The weather changed dramatically; the thunderclouds in the sky grew thicker and hung lower as Brahma City entered.

More and more of the snakes darted away, growing larger and larger.

Bathed in lightning, Fan Cheng appeared to be insane. He suddenly pointed downwards.

Instantly, the lightning snakes slithering beside him struck downwards.

Sword Ancestor and the others were directly struck!
Among them, some relied on their physical strength to withstand the tribulation lightning, some relied on magical artifacts to support themselves, and some relied on magical techniques and supernatural powers to fight against the tribulation lightning...

Without exception, no matter what method they practiced or how they responded, the descending lightning easily pierced through everything.

In an instant, a large hole was punched through everyone's body.

Sword Ancestor and the others turned pale and immediately began to repair their injuries.

This lightning tribulation is terrifying!
They didn't know how powerful ordinary lightning tribulations were, but this mutated lightning tribulation was simply too much for them to bear.

The key point is that this is just residual lightning from the tribulation Ning Qi survived!
What left them speechless was that, before they could even recover from their injuries, a sudden lightning strike descended from the sky.

During the tribulation, Nafan City completely rewrote the rules of the tribulation, making them entirely at his beck and call, as if they were his own arm.

Even when Ning Qi was undergoing his tribulation before, the lightning tribulation would give him a chance to catch his breath, but the lightning tribulation that Sword Ancestor and the others were facing at this moment was completely controlled by Fan Cheng.

He surrendered without hesitation, giving people no time to recover.

"Hahaha……"

Fan Cheng laughed wildly amidst the thunderclouds, in a frenzy unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at everyone below with hatred.

The calamity clouds seemed to twist and sway because of his inner turmoil, and they continued to grow and spread as his hatred increased.

He is determined to annihilate everyone under the thundercloud today!

Thousands upon thousands of bolts of lightning pierced through the dark clouds, striking downwards and locking onto every figure below.

Whether they are undergoing tribulation or not, whether they are Nascent Soul cultivators, Dao-Merging cultivators, or even cultivators below the Nascent Soul level.

Fan Cheng went mad, with only one word in his mind: destruction!

This thundercloud was formed by the collective tribulation of Sword Ancestor and others, and was already extremely vast. Now, because of Brahma City, it covers an even wider area, and there are countless cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm below.

At this moment, everyone regretted that they were missing a leg and hadn't escaped the range of the thundercloud.

As the lightning struck, they all felt as if they were facing the end of the world.

Ning Qi had been secretly observing the movements of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will, but to his surprise, the illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will was still deep in thought.

For the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, understanding these changes is clearly more valuable than the lives of the people below.

But Ning Qi couldn't let Fan Cheng run wild. If things continued like this, all of Fan Cheng's men in that area would die. How could he continue playing then?
So Ning Qi pointed towards Fancheng in the distance.

With that one finger, the apocalyptic scene ahead seemed to be paused, changing from dynamic to static, as if time had stood still!
In the void, all the lightning bolts that had struck down stopped, hovering three feet above everyone's heads.

Everyone stared at the suddenly still lightning, not understanding what had happened, but quickly moved away.

Sword Ancestor and the others looked in Ning Qi's direction.

Ning Qi, dressed in a yin-yang colored robe, stood proudly in the void, pointing his sword finger at the thundercloud.

It was him after all!
This kid is becoming increasingly unpredictable, and it's impossible to gauge just how strong he really is.

They looked up at the thunderclouds above.

The charred figure, now resembling someone who had lost everything in gambling, stared blankly at the still lightning below.

"Why is this happening? How could this be?"

He kept waving his arms, trying to relive the glory of commanding ten thousand lightning bolts, but all the tribulation lightning no longer obeyed his commands.

Not only the tribulation lightning below, but even the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to freeze at this moment.

Brahma City is the only one that can move.

The next second, everyone witnessed an astonishing scene.

All the tribulation lightning bolts, like tentacles from the depths of an octopus in the deep sea, retreated towards the sky in unison.

Can spilled water be gathered up again?
Everyone watching this scene felt their hearts pounding; it was simply a miracle!
No matter who they are, how old they are, or how bizarre the stories they have heard, none of them are as shocked as the scene before them!

Has anyone ever heard of a tribulation lightning bolt being reversed? No!
But it just happened right before their eyes.

As Fan Cheng, standing within the thunderclouds, watched the tribulation lightning retreat back into the thunderclouds, his charred face gaping open in disbelief.

All the tribulation lightning transformed into various colored lightning snakes that darted about in the thunderclouds.

Suddenly, Fan Cheng felt that his body was no longer under his control, as if an immense power was pulling him towards the center of the thundercloud.

Fan Cheng tried his best to swing his arms and kick his legs, but he couldn't break free at all.

With his last bit of strength, he twisted his neck and looked down and behind him, towards the direction where Ning Qi was.

There stood a proud figure, pointing a sword at him with an indifferent expression.

"I should have thought of that sooner, I should have thought of that sooner..."

Fan Cheng murmured to himself, realizing the truth.

If he can manipulate the tribulation lightning by relying on the residual lightning from Ning Qi's tribulation, then why can't Ning Qi, the true master of the tribulation, do the same?

A moment of madness completely clouded Fan Cheng's mind, and it wasn't until this moment that he came to his senses.

But one wrong step leads to another, and what can he do now?
His first thought was to self-destruct. Although he could no longer control his body, his will was still free.

When a cultivator reaches the Dao Integration Realm, even their will can kill, manipulate heaven and earth, and condense various supernatural powers that can move mountains and fill seas.

Brahma, having condensed its will, attempted self-destruction.

But he found it was all in vain, as all the lightning snakes in the surrounding thunderclouds surged toward his body.

Those lightning snakes were now blades capable of destroying flesh and will, slicing across his body and severing his will.

Fan Cheng's life, which he had barely managed to save, was immediately ripped to pieces.

Did he regret it?

No, for someone who has risen to such a high position and power, there has never been any regret; there is only the saying "the victor is king, the loser is villain."

If you succeed, you can rise above everyone else and bully those weaker than yourself at will; if you fail, it's because you're simply less skilled.

Thunderclouds rolled across the sky, and the city of Fancheng was nowhere to be seen.
