Soon, angry roars of Demonic Beasts echoed again, accompanied by a violent rumbling sound from afar.
Several figures, caught in a chaotic battle, flew out from the deep pit.
It was precisely eight cultivators besieging two powerful Demonic Beasts.
These eight cultivators were at least at the Core Formation stage. The imposing man in black leading them, along with an old man in yellow, were both at the early Nascent Soul stage.
The two ferocious beasts were several zhang long, resembling deer yet not deer, horses yet not horses. Their bodies were covered in grayish-black scales, and long single horns grew from their heads.
Judging by the aura they exuded, both were early Fourth-grade Demonic Beasts.
Furthermore, the larger of the two had already reached the peak of the early stage.
At this moment, both beasts were covered in wounds, appearing heavily injured, but their ferocity remained undiminished. They spat out gray orbs of light, each the size of a human head.
The cultivators attacking these two ferocious beasts seemed extremely wary of these gray orbs, not daring to confront them directly. They could only use their Magic Treasures to keep them at bay from a distance.
However, the two Demonic Beasts were already severely wounded and clearly couldn't hold on for much longer. They were currently being separated and surrounded by the eight cultivators.
Ning Fa understood. Judging by the robes of the Core Formation Cultivators, they should all be from the Ascension Alliance.
At this moment, Blue Lightning stared intently at the two Nascent Soul Cultivators ahead, her bright little face filled with eagerness. She whispered, "Master, shall I take care of those two?"
Ning Fa smiled and nodded. He also wanted to see what kind of Divine Abilities Blue Lightning possessed after her advancement.
Blue Lightning immediately smiled excitedly. At this moment, a blue light flashed all over her body. She seemed to transform into water ripples, and with a gentle ripple, she vanished from her original spot, leaving behind only a faint trace of blue watery light.
"Water Escape Technique!"
Ning Fa couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
What Blue Lightning had just displayed was the Water Escape, one of the Five Elements Escape Techniques. Although it wasn't as good as his Lightning Escape, it was still very rare.
Moreover, in a water environment, the same level of Water Escape might even surpass Lightning Escape.
Ning Fa suddenly realized. This Water Escape Technique was clearly an Innate Divine Ability that Blue Lightning had comprehended after tracing the bloodline of the Azure Moon Heavenly Qilin Beast. This beast's bloodline was indeed extraordinary.
The faint blue watery light in the air flickered continuously. Each flicker appeared nearly a hundred zhang away.
At the same time, an enraged roar was heard.
In the battle group closer to them, the ferocious beast being besieged endured the attacks of several Magic Treasures.
Then, its body suddenly surged forward, appearing dozens of zhang away in a bizarre manner, fiercely colliding with the old man with yellow eyebrows.
A dazzling light erupted, and a streak of yellow light rapidly shot outwards.
The old man with yellow eyebrows appeared pale-faced. In front of him, an ancient tortoise shell Magic Treasure had a large hole in the middle.
The old man's eyes were filled with heartache. He had possessed this defensive Ancient Treasure for several hundred years, and it had saved his life numerous times. He never expected it to be destroyed today.
His anger surged, and he roared, "Wicked beast, I will tear you into eight pieces today!"
He then formed a Hand Seal with his hand, about to unleash some Divine Ability. But just then, a bizarre blue watery light flashed behind him.
Blue Lightning's figure suddenly appeared within the watery light.
Her little face was filled with excitement. Her right hand, clad in a blue glove, emitted a sharp blue blade-like energy. It moved as fast as lightning towards the old man's back.
But just as it was about to make contact, a flash of yellow light suddenly appeared on the old man's back. An ancient heart-protecting mirror emerged, emitting a yellow spiritual light shield that protected the old man's back.
With a "bang," the shield lasted for less than half a breath before it shattered under Blue Lightning's claw.
However, this brief delay allowed the old man with yellow eyebrows to shift extremely bizarrely to his left.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared thirty zhang away. His heart-protecting mirror had also shattered into several pieces, and there was a deep claw mark on his back, reaching to the bone, with blood flowing profusely.
The old man with yellow eyebrows' face was deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down his body. At this moment, he had been so close to death.
"Who are you! Why did you sneak attack me!" he shouted sternly, his expression extremely solemn.
He then carefully examined Blue Lightning again, as if discovering something, and exclaimed in surprise, "You are a Shapeshifted Demon Cultivator!"
Blue Lightning flicked the blood droplets from her right hand, her small brows furrowed, clearly dissatisfied with her previous strike.
She then looked at the old man with yellow eyebrows and chuckled, "Old man, you're dead today."
With that, she crossed her hands, wielding sharp blue blade-like energy. Then, she transformed into a dazzling blue silhouette and rapidly charged towards the old man with yellow eyebrows.
The old man with yellow eyebrows also calmed down. He snorted coldly, raised his right hand, and with a flash of light, a silver-shining ruler appeared.
As he frantically channeled his magic power, the ruler instantly grew several feet long. With flashes of silver light, it split into two, then four, and in a blink of an eye, hundreds of silver ruler shadows filled the air.
They appeared imposing as they swarmed and smashed towards the charging Blue Lightning.
However, under the sharp blade-like energy released by Blue Lightning's hands, these ruler shadows shattered one after another, appearing incredibly fragile.
The old man with yellow eyebrows' face broke out in a cold sweat. He could only increase his magic power to unleash more ruler shadows.
The sudden appearance of Blue Lightning also made the other Ascension Alliance cultivators uneasy. Seeing the old man with yellow eyebrows in a bad situation, the four nearby Core Formation Cultivators intended to help.
But the Demonic Beast being besieged seemed to have seen hope. It raised its head and roared, and a gray beam of light shot out from its horn.
A nearby Core Formation Cultivator was caught off guard and was directly pierced through the neck, dying on the spot.
The other three Core Formation Cultivators were greatly alarmed. They could no longer concern themselves with the old man with yellow eyebrows and quickly unleashed their full power to defend themselves.
In another battle group, the man in black, with a furrowed brow, had no choice but to send two of his Core Formation Cultivators to assist the other three.
He first used a secret sound transmission to call for reinforcements from below, while also summoning an ancient seal.
Clearly, upon seeing a disruptor, he intended to go all out and eliminate the ferocious beast before him.
Seeing the myriad of flying blade shadows shatter, the old man with yellow eyebrows, anxious, summoned his final trump card.
Suddenly, a miniature mountain peak shrouded in black light appeared in the sky, growing to dozens of feet in size in the blink of an eye.
It then appeared with a strange teleportation-like movement above Blue Lightning. Blue Lightning, who was moving with great speed, became sluggish as if trapped in a swamp.
Blue Lightning frowned, as her Water Escape technique couldn't be activated under this strange black light.
Furthermore, an immense force was increasingly pressing down on her.
But then she let out a soft hum, and her entire body lit up with intense blue light.
She abruptly raised her head and spat out a slender, jade-like spirit flame from her mouth. It sprayed towards the base of the giant peak in the air, seemingly a futile effort.
The next moment, a scene that left the old man with yellow eyebrows dumbfounded occurred.
Under the effect of the jade spirit flame, the base of the giant peak rapidly turned into jade crystal.
In almost a single breath, it spread to the entire giant peak.
This mountain also transformed into a jade crystal mountain.
The next moment, it trembled violently, then shattered with a roar, disappearing into countless streams of light.
This ancient treasure, possessing extraordinary power, was directly destroyed by Blue Lightning's Azure Nether Pure Fire.
The old man with yellow eyebrows, whose mind was connected to this treasure, trembled violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Before he could react, a flash of blue water light suddenly appeared beside him. Blue Lightning, with a grinning expression, had strangely appeared within the water light.
She fiercely grabbed downwards with both hands, and instantly, extremely sharp blade-like energy surrounded the old man with yellow eyebrows.
Blood splattered, and then a beam of escape light shot out from within.
It appeared a hundred feet away in a flash, revealing a yellow infant about an inch in size. This was the old man with yellow eyebrows' Nascent Soul.
He clutched an ancient ring, his small face filled with hatred and fear.
Blue Lightning's willow brows furrowed in the distance, and she let out a soft snort. Blue light flashed around her, and she disappeared again, clearly unwilling to let the old man go and continuing to pursue him with her Water Escape technique.
The Nascent Soul of the old man with yellow eyebrows, greatly alarmed, quickly used his Teleportation technique and flew towards another burly man in black.
Ning Fa, watching from afar, nodded secretly. Blue Lightning's strength was indeed extraordinary; ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't last long under her.
At this moment, his expression shifted as he looked towards the direction of the deep pit. Soon, he saw a man in his forties, wearing black close-fitting attire and a face full of pockmarks, fly out of the deep pit. Upon seeing the situation, he immediately joined the fray without a word.
This person was also a cultivator at the early Nascent Soul stage, clearly sent to reinforce them as the people below saw the situation was unfavorable.
Ning Fa's lips curved slightly, and he no longer waited, fully unleashing his Moon Concealment Technique.
His figure then became indistinct, flying forward at a steady pace.
He believed that with Blue Lightning's strength, dealing with these three early Nascent Soul cultivators should be more than enough. Moreover, those two ferocious beasts still had some fight left in them, and he also needed to go down and assess the situation.
With Ning Fa's Divine Soul power, combined with the full use of the Moon Concealment Technique, the three Nascent Soul cultivators on the Ascension Alliance's side naturally couldn't detect him. Soon, Ning Fa flew into the deep pit.
In the center of this deep pit, splendid yet dangerous clusters of light of various colors were still erupting. Ning Fa carefully avoided them and slowly flew downwards.
The deeper he flew, the larger the space within became.
Ning Fa flew down for over eight hundred feet before stopping and looking below.
A hundred feet below was the bottom of the deep pit, a spacious underground hall with a length and width of a thousand feet each.
And at the very center was a massive array formation. Its surface was covered with various array patterns that flickered intensely, supporting a semicircular multicolored light shield.
In the center of the array formation, there was an opening about ten feet in size, from which a surging pillar of spiritual energy was gushing upwards.
At this moment, above this massive array formation, brilliant treasure light was flashing, and within it, several powerful Magic Treasures could be vaguely seen soaring back and forth.
Concurrently, the deafening sounds of Magic Treasures and spell bombardments echoed throughout the entire hall, clearly indicating that a fierce battle was taking place here.
