Ning Fa looked at him with a strange expression. It seemed Ning Daozhen had prepared thoroughly to obtain that Innate Qi. The others also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Ning Daozhen said solemnly again, "But we still need to get it quickly. After all, even if we don't consider others, the high-level cultivators of Aisa City can provide support within three hours at most."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately took action, each unleashing their Natal Magic Treasures or Divine Abilities.
For a time, the brilliant light of various magic treasures and divine abilities turned into torrents, smashing towards the giant tower in the basin amidst booming sounds.
Just then, the World-Suppressing Pagoda let out a violent roar.
The nine ferocious beast heads hanging from the nine corners glowed fiercely, as if they had come to life. Within clusters of five-colored energy, their bodies rapidly condensed.
In the blink of an eye, these nine ferocious beasts transformed into colossal beings, flying out from the tower. Roaring, they charged towards the magic treasures and divine abilities that the crowd had launched.
Although these nine ferocious beasts had not reached the Nascent Soul realm, they were not far from it.
Furthermore, even if their bodies were damaged, they would quickly recover in the five-colored energy surging from the World-Suppressing Pagoda, temporarily blocking the crowd's surging offensive.
Ning Fa, meanwhile, activated his five Lightning Swords. Like swimming dragons, they unleashed streaks of sharp lightning sword energy, directly tearing apart a nearby giant python and a black bear fierce beast.
But just as he was about to unleash his Divine Firmament Manifestation to destroy the tower more quickly.
He suddenly frowned and looked towards a direction several miles to his left. With his left hand, he struck the void in that direction.
Amidst a booming sound, a thunderous giant palm over ten zhang long suddenly appeared, smashing fiercely in that direction.
In that seemingly empty spot, spiritual light fluctuations appeared, revealing three figures.
One of them unleashed a magic treasure resembling a black mountain peak, blocking above their heads and intercepting Ning Fa's palm strike.
However, this black mountain also flashed with spiritual light, and its peak showed signs of melting.
This sudden turn of events immediately caused the others, who were fiercely attacking, to look over. Their expressions changed, as they hadn't expected others to be lurking here.
Upon seeing the three figures, Ning Daozhen's brow furrowed even deeper. "It's these guys. How did they know about this place?"
The three who arrived were a handsome man in a black robe and a beautiful young woman in a white dress, who were none other than Liao Wuyin and Wen Xiuxin.
In the center was a burly man in heavy armor, with no hair on his head or face, his entire body enveloped in black lightning.
The spiritual pressure he exuded was also much stronger than Liao Wuyin and Wen Xiuxin's. He was clearly a Mid Nascent Soul Cultivator, and evidently much stronger than ordinary mid-stage cultivators.
"Ning Daozhen, you've actually broken your promise. This truly saddens me."
Liao Wuyin looked at Ning Daozhen, clicking his tongue with an exaggerated expression.
After speaking, he looked at Ning Fa, his eyes flashing, and chuckled.
"And this fellow Daoist Ning is an old acquaintance of mine. I've long heard of your triumphant return, and I didn't expect to meet you here again. It seems Ning Daozhen tore up the agreement with us because of you, doesn't it?"
At this moment, Wen Xiuxin also stared intently at Ning Fa, her eyes flashing with crimson light. The bald, burly man sized up Ning Fa from head to toe, his eyes unable to conceal his shock, and a flash of greed quickly passed through them.
Ning Fa also glanced at Liao Wuyin and Wen Xiuxin, then quickly looked at the bald, burly man, his own eyes showing a hint of solemnity.
The aura emanating from this person felt familiar to him, very similar to Lei E, an Ancient Spirit Incarnation he had encountered before in Moon Reflection Valley.
And the one who created Lei E was Lei Ming, an Ancient Immortal from Thunder Hong Road.
It seemed that although he had killed this Lei E in Moon Reflection Valley, Lei Ming had now created another Ancient Spirit.
Thinking of this, Ning Fa felt a headache coming on.
After all, it was precisely because he was pursued by Lei Ming on Ancient Immortal Island that he had to risk going to the Ancient Teleportation Array controlled by Zhenhai Pavilion and Yuan Cha Gate, and finally made a perilous escape.
Ning Fa did not know Lei Ming's true strength, but he felt that his current strength might not be enough to deal with him safely.
Especially since he didn't know if Lei Ming's strength had recovered or become even stronger over the years.
Fortunately, Ancient Immortal Island had restrictions, preventing Lei Ming from leaving freely.
If it were just an Ancient Spirit like Lei E, it wouldn't be much of a problem for him.
At this moment, Ning Daozhen quickly said to Liao Wuyin and the others, "Regardless of what happened before, now that we're all here, let's join forces to break this tower. As for the Innate Qi, we'll compete for it by our own means."
Ning Fa pondered for a moment and did not object.
Liao Wuyin and Wen Xiuxin looked at the bald, burly man. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Alright."
A fragile alliance was formed. The three Ancient Spirits immediately unleashed their respective magic treasures and also began to attack the giant tower in the basin.
The strength of the three of them was also extraordinary. The nine ferocious beasts could no longer hold on. The crowd's attacks began to land on the body of the World-Suppressing Pagoda, which was barely blocked by the five-colored spiritual light it emitted.
At the same time, in a space filled with white mist inside the tower.
More than twenty Tianli Cultivators looked grimly ahead. Before them was a water mirror formed by white light, which displayed the scene of Ning Fa and the others attacking.
Among these Tianli Cultivators, apart from the four leading Nascent Soul cultivators, the rest were all Core Formation Cultivators.
Including Ling Yue, who was dressed in a white dress. She was located on a circular platform in the center of the area.
At the base of this platform were countless mysterious five-colored array patterns, extending to various parts of the tower.
Streams of Innate Five Elements Qi flowed towards the platform along these patterns.
Among them, a large amount of Five Elements Qi condensed into a sphere, tightly wrapping a palm-sized white fragment.
Ling Yue, with a solemn expression, cast hand seals towards this wrapped white fragment, seemingly oblivious to the changes happening around her.
"Damn it, these leftovers from the Seven Saints Sect really can't be relied on, and now they've colluded with the Cangyuan people!"
A furious roar echoed, and a bald old man with a thick beard cursed angrily.
He was also the one with the highest cultivation realm present, at the peak of the Mid Nascent Soul stage, radiating a tangible crimson firelight around him.
"So their true objective in destroying the Five Elements Chaos Sealing Spirit Great Array was us. But how could they have found the exact location where we are refining the Nine Divisions World-Suppressing Pagoda?"
A Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator resembling a green-shirted scholar beside him said in disbelief.
"They're already here, so why dwell on that? Shouldn't we be thinking about what to do next!
That damned Ning Daozhen unleashed the Blood Heaven River, engulfing this entire Five Veins Land. The teleportation array is unusable, and no one else can provide immediate support.
With so many high-level cultivators on the other side, I fear we won't last much longer."
Ye Ji, standing nearby, said with annoyance.
The others exchanged glances, their expressions grave. The current situation indeed looked dire.
The Nine Divisions World-Suppressing Pagoda was still some distance from completion and couldn't exert its full might yet. With just their current numbers, they likely wouldn't be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
"It's alright, everyone, no need to worry too much."
Just then, a voice sounded. A flash of white light appeared in a corner, and a dignified middle-aged cultivator in brocade robes emerged.
Upon seeing the brocade-robed middle-aged man appear, the others' expressions brightened, and they all bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Holy Witch."
The newcomer was none other than the Tianli Holy Witch!
However, the bald old man scrutinized the brocade-robed middle-aged cultivator, his pleased expression fading as he asked with some confusion, "My Lord, your aura…"
The brocade-robed middle-aged man said calmly, "What you see is merely a clone of mine. Fortunately, I was prudent enough to leave a clone nearby.
My main body is rushing here rapidly, but it will still take some time."
A flicker of disappointment appeared in the eyes of the others upon hearing this, but they still felt a surge of spirit.
After all, even a clone of the Holy Witch possessed the strength of an ordinary Great Cultivator.
While the opposing side had many people, they didn't seem to have any Great Cultivators, so there was still hope of holding out until reinforcements arrived.
However, what the brocade-robed cultivator said next astonished them.
He stated calmly, "I now order that all the Innate Five Elements Qi of the Five Veins Land be absorbed into this World-Suppressing Pagoda.
This will allow the pagoda to unleash about eighty to ninety percent of its power and activate its World-Suppressing Domain.
With that, eliminating these invaders will be more than enough."
Upon hearing this, an enchanting beautiful woman in a blue dress, a cultivator at the Early Nascent Soul stage, immediately said anxiously, "My Lord, please reconsider!
If we follow what you say, the World-Suppressing Pagoda will suffer irreversible damage. Not only will the completion time be greatly delayed, but the final artifact's grade will also be reduced.
Since you are here to support us now, we are capable of holding off these Cangyuan people and stalling until reinforcements arrive.
At that time, they'll have no escape, so there's no need to be so drastic."
"Indeed, My Lord, there's no need to be so hasty," the bald old man also said, his face full of anxiety.
After all, the Nine Divisions World-Suppressing Pagoda was related to their clan's destiny. If it couldn't achieve the expected grade and power, they, as its refiners, would undoubtedly be letting down the Tianli clan.
The brocade-robed cultivator glanced at them and said calmly, "Are you questioning me?"
The crowd immediately fell silent. The brocade-robed cultivator sighed, "If I had a choice, I wouldn't do this, but the situation has changed. Please look at who that person is."
Everyone immediately looked in the direction he indicated.
On the massive water mirror before them, as the brocade-robed cultivator cast his spell, the image zoomed in on one person.
It was a middle-aged cultivator with a sallow complexion, wielding five incredibly sharp Lightning Swords.
Beside him was a bright maiden in blue armor, and a handsome youth with ice-white long hair. Their attacks were equally formidable.
