Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1004 The Battle of Zhenyou (Part 1)

With a scream, the female cultivator Li's body exploded, but it transformed into thousands upon thousands of fine threads, as thin as cow's hair, which scattered in all directions and disappeared into the void in a flash.

Although Ningfa used the Void Tremor Technique again to kill most of the fine threads, some of them still managed to escape.

Ning Fa frowned slightly.

As expected, once one's cultivation reaches the level of a great cultivator, it becomes extremely difficult to kill them completely.

Even though Kongli Zhenjun trapped the two first, and he and Baili Ming joined forces, they were still unable to kill both of them.

Ning Fa hesitated for a moment, but decided not to pursue the matter further.

This woman's life-saving techniques are extremely strange, and he is not entirely confident that he can kill her completely.

However, it is believed that after such a severe injury, this woman will not be able to recover without hundreds of years of recuperation, and may even fall into a lower realm, unable to regain her peak strength. Therefore, she is no longer a cause for concern.

Kong Li, who was not far away, looked at Ning Fa with a shocked expression.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen Ning Fa take action.

Ning Fa's formidable strength finally made him understand why Master Xu Yuan had such confidence in him and waited for him to break through his realm despite all the objections.

Even the most powerful cultivators at the peak of their cultivation were utterly helpless in front of Ning Fa.

Although Xu Yuan Jushi and Mo Qianqiu were also extremely strong, they could not give Kong Li the same sense of impact.

Kong Li even vaguely sensed that Ning Fa's strength was likely already above that of Xu Yuan Jushi.

This gave him a jolt, making him realize that Ning Fa had likely become the number one person in Cangyuan after this breakthrough.

At this moment, Ning Fa looked around, suddenly sneered, and casually flicked his hand, causing two bolts of lightning to shoot out.

In the blink of an eye, several feet away, a burst of spiritual light suddenly erupted in two seemingly deserted places in the air, and two figures appeared.

A figure dressed entirely in black robes, surrounded by billowing black energy, his face shrouded in shadow.

The other one resembled a green-faced zombie, with a necklace woven from numerous skulls around his neck.

When they took action to resist Ning Fa's lightning, the spiritual pressure they emitted was extremely powerful, clearly indicating that they were all at the late Nascent Soul stage.

Judging from the surging demonic energy emanating from them, they were clearly demonic cultivators.

Needless to say, they should all be from the Rakshasa Immortal Cultivation World.

Kong Li was startled upon seeing this. With his divine sense, he had not detected that there were two great cultivators hiding at such close range.

These two were complete strangers, having never appeared before, clearly indicating that they were new reinforcements from the Rakshasa cultivation world.

They were lying in ambush here, clearly with ill intentions.

This is exactly what Cang Yuan was thinking.

Kong Li couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fighting so many powerful cultivators was already their limit. If these two were added to the mix, it would be difficult for Cang Yuan to withstand them.

Both of these powerful demonic cultivators looked towards Ning Fa, especially the blue-faced demonic cultivator, whose expression was one of surprise and uncertainty.

The two slowly retreated, already indicating their intention to leave.

"Leave these two to me. I have quite a bit of experience dealing with these demonic cultivators."

Baili Ming chuckled and instantly transformed into a streak of black light, disappearing without a trace.

Ning Fa nodded to Kong Li and immediately flew towards another battle group.

The unexpected turn of events in this battle, especially the sudden appearance of Ning Fa and Baili Ming, who killed one of the two great cultivators Tian Li and severely injured the other in the blink of an eye, immediately attracted the attention of other battle groups.

The great cultivators of Cangyuan were naturally overjoyed. Even True Monarch Yuchan was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but think that waiting for Ning Fa to break through his realm and return was truly worthwhile.

On Tianli's side, the expressions of the great cultivators changed drastically. Even the three holy witches, Su Rihe, Medanlun, and Aroye, looked extremely grim.

"Damn it! This kid has only broken through to the mid-stage, how could his strength have increased so much!"

Even the usually refined and elegant Su Rihe couldn't help but look ferocious at this moment.

The thing they had been worried about had come true: Ning Fa, who had been missing for a long time, not only returned, but also broke through his cultivation level.

Although Ning Fa's attack was brief, their discerning eyes easily revealed that after breaking through to the mid-stage realm, Ning Fa had reached the same level as them.

This was naturally very bad news for Tianli.

At this moment, Ning Fa's figure transformed into a dazzling rainbow and shot off towards the north.

During his flight, Ning Fa glanced at another battle group more than fifty miles away.

Xu Yi was seen locked in fierce combat with a stern-faced Grand Cultivator from Tianli.

Although Ning Fa had never met this great cultivator from Tianli in person, he had seen his portrait in the records.

Ning Fa had a very deep impression of this person, because he was Aroye, the culprit who caused Zhu Lingyun such a terrible tragedy.

Ningfa's eyes flashed with intense killing intent as he looked at Aroye.

However, he did not fly in that direction, because Aroye was, after all, the Holy Witch of Tianli, and even with his greatly improved strength, he would not be able to kill this person easily.

If you get bogged down by this person, or if he gets away, you'll waste the strategic advantage you gained from this ambush. So you can't let hatred blind you.

Ning Fa's primary objective in this battle was to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy's top forces, namely those ordinary high-level cultivators.

At this moment, the sounds of fierce battle could be heard several miles ahead. There, Jade Cicada True Monarch was engaged in a fierce battle with two powerful sea race cultivators.

Ning Fa looked at the two sea race cultivators with shining eyes.

If I'm not mistaken, these two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sea Clan can provide the Heavenly Book with 400 third-tier source points, which is a great tonic for the Heavenly Book, and even more so for Ning Fa.

After the Heavenly Book absorbed the mysterious white fragment and unlocked the ability to directly trace the source of high-level spiritual materials from low-level ones, Ning Fa now desperately needs high-level source points.

Therefore, killing these two ordinary sea race cultivators first can be considered killing two birds with one stone.

Upon seeing Ning Fa rapidly flying towards them, the two sea race cultivators, one male and one female, were immediately alarmed.

After all, they already knew that the Tide Council considered Ningfa a major threat to the sea race, so they were already wary of Ningfa.

Having just witnessed Ning Fa's formidable strength, they immediately felt intimidated before even engaging in battle upon seeing Ning Fa flying towards them.

The two exchanged a glance, then, ignoring the Jade Cicada True Lord who was currently engaged in combat, fled backwards without hesitation.

At this moment, Jade Cicada True Lord let out a cold laugh.

"You think you can just leave now? It's not that easy!" As he spoke, he suddenly pointed his right hand upwards at the gray ball of light above his head, which was the secondary array eye of the Shangyuan Immortal Extinction Array.

The gray light suddenly trembled violently, and in an instant, a strange gray halo shot out from it at an incredibly fast speed.

The two powerful sea creature cultivators, who had already fled hundreds of feet away, were immediately drawn in by the gray aura, as if they were being pulled in by a tremendous force. Even with their cultivation levels, they were instantly trapped in a swamp.

At the same time, the same scene unfolded in several other battle groups, with strange gray halos shooting out from those secondary array eyes, firmly restricting the enemy's great cultivators who were fiercely fighting against Cang Yuan's side.

This is a special ability of the Shangyuan Immortal Extinction Array. Although its power is great, it requires a long cooldown period after each use.

This time, in order to cooperate with Ning Fa in killing the enemy's ordinary high-level cultivators, Cang Yuan's side did not hesitate to use this ability.

Ning Fa had arrived by then, his eyes flashing with cold light, and he clapped his hands repeatedly.

Amidst a clear, melodious sword cry, five lightning swords of different colors flew out from within his body.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

As Ning Fa made a sword gesture, the five Heavenly Tribulation Swords trembled violently, accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder.

Immediately afterwards, the five Heavenly Swords multiplied in the blinding lightning, one into two, two into four, four into eight...

In a short time, it transformed into dozens, hundreds, even thousands of sword lights like thunder, crisscrossing each other and densely covering the sky for several miles.

Countless bolts of lightning danced and swirled within these sword lights, their power terrifying beyond measure.

The next moment, as Ning Fa made another sword gesture, the countless lightning sword lights trembled and disappeared into the void.

Only faint spatial ripples could be seen, rapidly spreading towards the location of the two sea race cultivators.

Ning Fa activated his Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation Sword Formation without hesitation, just to ensure that these two great sea race cultivators could not even escape at the Nascent Soul stage.

Upon seeing this, the two powerful sea creature cultivators were terrified and immediately activated their life-saving techniques.

As the sea creature roared, the man transformed into a ferocious sea dragon over ten zhang in size. Its tail lashed out, creating a sound like towering waves, and its speed increased several times over, but it still moved as slowly as a snail.

Another sea creature woman crushed a scale, and with a loud bang, her entire body transformed into a thick blue mist, flying in all directions, but she was also bound by the gray aura.

Ten breaths had passed by then, and Ning Fa's lips curled up in a smile.

The opponent cannot escape, because the Heavenly Tribulation Sword Formation has already been set up.

This time was more than twice as fast as before he advanced to the mid-stage.

He transmitted his voice to True Monarch Yu Chan, who was not far away, saying, "Fellow Daoist Yu Chan, you should go and provide support elsewhere. I'll take care of things here."

Jade Cicada True Lord dared not delay, and immediately cupped his hands, taking the secondary array eye above his head and flying towards another battle group.

After witnessing Ning Fa's actions, Jade Cicada True Monarch's initial humiliation at having to send his son-in-law to Ning Fa's sect and being ridiculed by the Cangyuan people completely vanished. He resolved never to oppose Ning Fa again.

At the same time, the gray aura surrounding the two sea race cultivators also dissipated instantly.

The sea creature that had transformed into a sea dragon, and the cloud of blue smoke, suddenly increased their speed and fled in two different directions.

However, what appeared to be an empty space in front of them suddenly revealed countless fine, hair-like sword threads that flickered and rapidly switched between white, blue, black, red, and yellow lightning—these were the Extinction Sword Threads.

Caught off guard, the two powerful sea creature cultivators collided with the Extinction Sword Threads, and a series of earth-shattering screams rang out.

A spray of blue blood fell, and the blue sea dragon immediately retreated at an even faster speed.

At this moment, his chest was covered in blood, with a large chunk of flesh missing, and bright yellow electric light emanating from the wound, hindering its recovery.

After all, most sea creature cultivators are primarily water-based, and the Earth Divine Lightning is their greatest weakness.

A small portion of the blue smoke was also annihilated by the Extinction Sword Silk. The remaining blue smoke surged and then increased in speed, flying towards the blue sea dragon.

In the blink of an eye, it had covered the surface of the blue sea dragon's body, forming a strange blue crystal armor on its surface, and a single horn about ten feet long appeared on its head.

At the same time, the spiritual pressure emanating from the blue sea dragon also surged, and in no time, it rose from an ordinary lower-level great cultivator to a level close to that of a middle-level great cultivator.

The blue sea dragon roared, and a dense blue light burst forth from its body as it bared its fangs and claws and tried to break out again.

Upon seeing this, Ning Fa first raised an eyebrow.

"It can even combine, this strange supernatural power is quite interesting."

But a cold smile immediately appeared on his face. Let alone someone who is only close to a mid-level Grand Master, even a true mid-level Grand Master trapped in the Heavenly Tribulation Sword Formation would only die with regret.

He made another hand seal, and a thunderous sound immediately followed.

Rapid ripples spread through the surrounding space, and countless Extinction Yuan Sword Threads flickered with lightning, radiating extremely sharp sword energy, and rushed toward the blue sea dragon in the center at a greatly increased speed.

Before long, the blue sea dragon roared angrily and desperately, and blue blood rained down for miles, clearly indicating that it was not far from its complete demise.

Just then, a strange and desolate sound of waves came from the sea.

Ning Fa, who was casting a spell, suddenly changed his expression and turned around to look down.

Below, in the vast ocean summoned by the sea people, a crystal pyramid tens of feet high had appeared out of nowhere.

At the top of the tower, a deep blue crystal the size of a head floats and spins rapidly.

With each rotation, countless deep blue runes fall from the crystal and land in the crystal pyramid below, causing countless mysterious streams of light to shimmer, making it look exceptionally mysterious.

The strange sound of the waves was emanating from this crystal.

Ning Fa stared intently at the deep blue crystal, his eyes gleaming.

At this moment, the Heavenly Book of Crossing Origin was pulsating violently in his sea of ​​consciousness. Although it could not compare with the white fragment he had encountered last time, the degree of its movement was extremely rare. Obviously, this deep blue crystal was a great tonic for the Heavenly Book.

It's likely that the source points this crystal can provide to the Heavenly Book are far beyond what ordinary fourth-tier sea creatures can offer; it's highly probable that it can provide fourth-tier source points.

This naturally made Ning Fa's gaze towards the deep blue crystal incredibly fervent.

Just then, Ningfa noticed something and looked at the other side of the crystal.

A flash of blue light appeared on the water, and a tall, slender figure slowly emerged.

This person is none other than Hathaway, a senior member of the Tide Council.

The diamond-shaped crystal embedded in her forehead seemed to echo the deep blue crystal, occasionally flashing with a faint light, making the already beautiful woman appear even more mysterious and noble.

The woman raised her head and looked up at Ning Fa in the sky. A look of fear flashed in her azure eyes. Then, her cherry lips parted slightly, and a woman's voice rang in Ning Fa's ear.

"Ningfa, surrendering to my clan is your only way to survive."
