The crowd exchanged glances, and then several Nascent Soul Cultivators' escape lights flashed, their speed drastically increasing as they flew towards Huangdang Mountain ahead.
Ning Fa frowned, his powerful Spiritual Sense sweeping over the main battlefield, but it seemed that due to the influence of Huangdang Mountain's protective array, he couldn't observe the situation closely.
The same was true for the rich mineral areas within a few hundred miles, which made him unsure of the current whereabouts of True Lord Cang Lei and the disciples of the Huayu Sect.
Soon, he made up his mind to go to the front battle group to confirm the situation up close.
At this moment, Huangdang Mountain was enveloped in a crimson spiritual light shield from its mid-slope upwards, and in the sky, there was a dense mass of fire clouds covering an area of dozens of miles.
Fireballs the size of water tanks rained down from these fire clouds like falling meteors, creating a terrifying, apocalyptic scene from afar.
At the same time, beneath these dense fire clouds, hundreds and thousands of cultivators were scattered everywhere like locusts, fiercely attacking the mountain.
Although these people looked no different from Cangyuan Cultivators, their clothing and attire were vastly different. Most of them wore various animal skins and skirts, and many had strange tattoos all over their bodies, exuding a fierce aura.
Clearly, these were Tianli Cultivators. Above the heads of these Tianli Cultivators, a seemingly illusory, water-blue lotus flower was suspended.
As the fireballs falling from the sky's fire clouds approached, these water-blue lotuses flashed with water light, engulfing the fireballs. By the time the lotus leaves unfurled again, the fireballs had disappeared.
Although these water-blue lotuses dimmed slightly, they could clearly hold on for a while longer.
At the same time, some giant beasts, dozens of feet long, covered in armor that flashed with talisman light, were not afraid of the bombardment of the fireballs and charged straight at Huangdang Mountain's protective array, putting immense pressure on it.
A large number of Cangyuan Cultivators also flew out from Huangdang Mountain, most of whom were dealing with these giant beasts.
However, near each of these giant beasts, there was at least one Nascent Soul stage Tianli Cultivator. Coupled with the powerful defense of these giant beasts, they were difficult to kill.
From afar, Huangdang Mountain was filled with not only dazzling firelight but also the spiritual lights of various Magic Treasures, Magic Tools, Talismans, Divine Abilities, and spells, connecting to form a tide of spiritual light, which was spectacular to behold.
At this moment, in a corner of the battle group, a silver electric light suddenly flashed, revealing Ning Fa's figure. He casually unleashed several bolts of lightning, melting several Foundation Establishment stage Tianli Cultivators nearby.
"Not good, it's a Nascent Soul Old Monster!" a cry of alarm sounded nearby, and then three Core Formation stage Tianli Cultivators flew over rapidly, looking at Ning Fa as if facing a great enemy.
Ning Fa raised an eyebrow because he could understand the language spoken by these Tianli people; it was one of the ancient languages he had studied before.
At this moment, a late Core Formation stage Tianli elder in the middle, whose hair had already turned white, unhesitatingly threw out something the size of a palm, resembling a bone fragment, its surface flashing with mysterious runes.
The bone fragment erupted with a chilling white light, instantly transforming into a bone cage formed by more than a dozen chilling white bones. It disappeared in a flash, and when it reappeared, it had already trapped Ning Fa within.
The three Tianli Core Formation cultivators were overjoyed and immediately raised their hands high. Beams of dense magical power shot out from their hands, injecting into the bone cage.
At the same time, the bone cage trapping Ning Fa became increasingly thick and sturdy, with a strange power of restraint that made Ning Fa feel as if his magical power was not circulating smoothly.
Ning Fa couldn't help but slightly move his eyebrows, a look of interest on his face.
If an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator were to face such a strange bone cage, they might not be able to escape for a while, which also gave him a direct understanding of the Tianli's special Divine Abilities.
But then he chuckled; this had no effect on him.
He casually struck out with his palm, and the three Tianli Golden Core cultivators' expressions changed drastically. They felt an overwhelming force rushing towards them.
Before they could increase their magical power, the bone cage exploded, and the three Tianli Golden Core cultivators were sent flying backward, spitting blood.
The late Core Formation elder exclaimed, "This is no ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, we should retreat quickly!"
Before his words could fall, the three of them fled in different directions.
Ning Fa sneered and, with lightning speed, raised his hand and unleashed three punches. With the sound of intense wind and thunder, these three Core Formation cultivators were all melted directly within a pillar of lightning.
Ning Fa's expression was impassive.
No matter what, his fellow disciples and clansmen had died at the hands of the Tianli people, so he would not show any mercy to the Tianli cultivators.
Of course, there was also that True Lord Baidan.
The two Core Formation elders of the Ji Family, along with many Ji Family cultivators, had died at his hands. Ning Fa would not forget this enmity. Once he rescued Cang Lei and the others, he would personally kill Baidan.
As Ning Fa's thoughts moved, a blue light flashed around him, and Blue Lightning reappeared. Without a word, Blue Lightning flew towards a nearby battle group, and soon blood light splattered.
Ning Fa did not move. Instead, he looked in another direction, where a dazzling yellow escape light was shooting towards him.
Not long after, a tall, bald man wearing strange animal skins appeared a hundred feet away from him.
This person's face and bald head were covered in strange tattoos, making him look very ferocious. He was clearly in the early Nascent Soul stage, and it seemed he was not far from the mid Nascent Soul stage.
The man first looked with a worried expression in other directions, where Fairy Biwu and other Nascent Soul cultivators had also joined the battle, and several Nascent Soul stage Tianli cultivators were rapidly rushing to meet them.
Then, the bald man looked at Ning Fa with a face full of anger because one of the three Tianli cultivators killed by Ning Fa just now was his descendant.
Without a word, he raised his right hand, and several yellow round beads flew out. Amidst intense spiritual light, they transformed into giant, over ten-foot-long, deep yellow earth dragons.
They were entirely formed of rock blocks, and the spiritual pressure they emitted, while not as strong as a Nascent Soul cultivator, was far superior to that of ordinary late Core Formation cultivators.
Then, these earth dragons, carrying heavy sand and wind, pounced on Ning Fa aggressively.
At the same time, the bald man held his hands flat, chanting incantations. The strange tattoos on his body suddenly shone with spiritual light, and a strange and powerful aura emanated from him.
Then, violent sand and wind surged out from his hands, covering his body and forming a thick armor of sand and stone.
His body also rapidly grew larger, transforming into a rock giant over fifty feet tall in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the spiritual pressure he emitted increased by more than half, nearing the mid Nascent Soul stage. He then strode towards Ning Fa, each step emitting a mountain-shaking rumble, filled with awe-inspiring pressure.
Ning Fa calmly watched the few deep yellow earth dragons that were about to pounce, as well as the approaching rock giant.
For a moment, he did not act because he could sense that the Nascent Soul cultivators like Fairy Biwu in the surrounding battle group, although they had already engaged with other high-level Tianli cultivators, Still, Fairy Biwu and the others had allocated some of their attention to observe his direction.
Ning Fa knew why.
Clearly, Fairy Biwu and the others were still very curious about his true strength.
Thinking of this, Ning Fa's lips curved slightly.
Since they wanted to see, he would let them see their fill!
He had already decided to use this Heavenly Li Nascent Soul Cultivator to establish his might!
With this thought, a cold glint flashed in Ning Fa's eyes.
Dazzling silver lightning instantly erupted from around him, and a terrifying spiritual pressure, like a vast ocean or mountains, exploded from his body.
Horrifying lightning, like a thunder storm, also burst from around him. The rolling thunder even drowned out the piercing roars on the entire battlefield, causing the other cultivators engaged in fierce combat to look over with changed expressions.
And feeling Ning Fa's current terrifying pressure, they were even more shocked in their hearts.
Amidst the rolling thunder, a clear sword cry suddenly rang out, and a white-gold lightning sword, about ten feet long, appeared before Ning Fa. It was precisely the Geng Metal Sword.
The Geng Metal Sword was shining with dazzling white-gold lightning, emitting an unimaginable sharpness, as if nothing could break it.
As Ning Fa pointed remotely, the Geng Metal Sword instantly transformed into a stunning streak of light and shot out.
The next moment, the several menacing deep yellow earth dragons first stiffened, then exploded with a bang, turning into dust all over the sky.
The rock giant formed by the bald man's eyes widened in shock. He immediately crossed his arms in front of him, and his two arms quickly merged, forming an extremely thick stone shield.
A shrill sword howl came, and the Geng Metal Sword slashed out a dazzling sword light, moving at a speed that the cultivators present, and even their spiritual senses, could barely track.
The rock giant first paused, then a crack appeared from its head to its feet. The next moment, endless lightning sword light erupted from this crack, and the rock giant also vanished into nothingness amidst this dazzling lightning. Its aura quickly disappeared completely.
Ning Fa, who had been suppressing his anger, unleashed his full power, even not hesitating to use Innate Divine Thunder.
This Heavenly Li high-level cultivator, who was not weak and could even barely contend with a Mid Nascent Soul Cultivator, was directly killed by Ning Fa's sword. Not even his Nascent Soul managed to escape.
The vast battlefield instantly fell silent. Hundreds of cultivators, both friend and foe, even forgot their combat and looked over here, all with stunned expressions.
Even Fairy Biwu, who was originally entangled with an enemy Mid Nascent Soul Cultivator, was dumbfounded.
She was rarely so flustered, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
Although she had expected Ning Fa's strength to be considerable, seeing Ning Fa make a move now, she realized just how strong his true strength was!
That sword strike made her feel a sense of dread, and she believed she could not have blocked it unscathed.
With just this sword strike, she understood that Ning Fa's strength was definitely above hers.
Then, Fairy Biwu seemed to have thought of something, and her pupils instantly contracted, a storm surging in her heart.
"Ning Fa's strength has definitely reached the level of a Great Cultivator!"
Fairy Biwu's heart trembled violently as she finally realized this fact.
