Ning Fa raised an eyebrow.
Although he hadn't fought this woman yet, he already had an intuitive feeling that she was no ordinary powerhouse.
According to the information provided by Hermit Xuyuan earlier, this woman's identity was not mentioned. It was likely she was new reinforcements from the Sea Race.
It seemed his appearance this time was truly timely. Otherwise, with the addition of Rakshasa's reinforcements, Cangyuan might have been utterly defeated.
Furthermore, from the gaze of this Sea Race female cultivator, Ning Fa had a premonition that she seemed to be targeting him.
It appeared the Sea Race here had already confirmed his identity.
This was undoubtedly bad news. However, now that Ning Fa had broken through to the mid-stage realm and his strength had greatly increased, as long as no Spirit Transformation cultivators appeared, he had nothing to fear.
Of course, if a Sea Race Spirit Transformation cultivator truly disregarded their status and personally came to hunt him, then he would have no choice but to flee.
Thinking of this, Ning Fa's heart sank slightly, and he paid even more attention to the Teleportation Array at the Profound Fire Sect ruins.
At this moment, Ning Fa looked at the peculiar deep blue crystal again, his eyes filled with a strange light.
This item had a fated connection with him, and he had to obtain it no matter what.
With this thought, Ning Fa's hand seals changed again, and dazzling Five-Colored Lightning emanated from his body.
The Calamity Heaven Sword Array immediately displayed more Essence Annihilation Sword Silk, sharp sword cries and rumbling Thunderous Roar intertwining, the Sword Light as bright as day.
Ning Fa wanted to quickly deal with these two Sea Race Great Cultivators before going to seize the deep blue crystal.
Moreover, it seemed the Sea Race intended to use this crystal for some grand event.
This also reminded Ning Fa of the enemy's anomalies that Hermit Xuyuan and the others had mentioned in the previous meeting. He suspected the enemy's plot might be related to this deep blue crystal.
A shrill roar came from the sea dragon within the sword array, blood gushing from its body.
Its eyes filled with madness, and as it radiated a brilliant blue light, numerous Magic Treasures shining with various colors flew out. They expanded and contracted, emitting dazzling halos, and then these Magic Treasures began to self-destruct.
Clearly, the two Sea Race Great Cultivators wanted to use the self-destruction of their Magic Treasures to break through the sword array's blockade.
But this was futile. The power of these Magic Treasures' self-destruction was also completely cut apart by the Essence Annihilation Sword Silk, without causing much of a ripple.
The space left for the sea dragon to maneuver was only a few feet. The sea dragon's massive dragon eyes were already filled with despair.
Just then, about a foot away from Ning Fa's side, a point of blue light suddenly appeared, and then a deep blue spear flew out of the void without any warning. Silently, like a venomous snake, it lunged towards Ning Fa.
But Ning Fa turned with lightning speed, his right hand grasping the spearhead as fast as lightning. Lightning surged from his hand, and a furious Thunderous power erupted, intending to directly destroy this treasure.
The spear suddenly exploded, scattering into countless blue light spots that shot outwards. Then, at a distance of ten feet, they converged into a mass, gradually forming a burly figure.
He was clad in heavy armor, with a head of blue hair flying, and it was the Sea Race commander, Lor.
He held a cyan-blue spear, on which the golden-blue Tidal patterns alternated in brightness and darkness with his breathing.
This spear was the Sea Race's ultimate fierce treasure—the Sea-Splitting Spear.
When Lor advanced to the High-level Great Cultivator realm, the Speaker of the Tidal Council personally gifted him this treasure.
This ultimate Sea Race treasure spear was seven feet three inches long, with a triangular spearhead. Each facet was inlaid with runes polished from deep-sea cold iron, and the spear tail was adorned with a blue pearl shell, scattering starlight as it swung.
Lor's handsome face was now covered in strange and mysterious wave runes, shimmering with a deep blue, ethereal light. The previously frivolous expression on his face had vanished, replaced by excitement and a thirst for battle.
Ning Fa also looked at this person with a hint of surprise.
He hadn't expected this Sea Race commander to break free from the restraint of the Grand Extermination Immortal Array and sneak here silently. In fact, if he hadn't made a move, Ning Fa wouldn't have noticed him.
Judging by this alone, this person was extraordinary.
In the previous introductions, Hermit Xuyuan had also specifically mentioned this person.
Hermit Xuyuan believed that among the Great Cultivators who had appeared on the enemy's side, the strongest should be that Moon Lord from Tianli, followed by this Sea Race commander.
It was just that for some reason, in the previous exchanges, this Sea Race commander seemed to have never used his full strength.
And now it seemed Ning Fa had piqued his interest. The spiritual pressure emanating from this Sea Race cultivator was much stronger than that of others.
"You are Ning Fa, the one listed as a major threat to our Sea Race by the Tidal Council?
Today, let me, Lor, test your strength and see if you are qualified!"
Lor let out a low chuckle, his wrist flicked, and the Sea-Splitting Spear suddenly emitted a dragon-like hum, its three triangular facets simultaneously lighting up.
"Sea-Splitting First Style: Wave-Breaking Cone!"
Before his voice even fell, the spearhead suddenly shot out a spiral-shaped water element spear energy, which caused ripples in the void wherever it passed.
This spear energy did not advance in a straight line but, like a spirit snake, rapidly changed direction in mid-air, making its trajectory impossible to predict.
Ning Fa's expression remained unchanged. Although his Calamity Heaven Sword was transforming into a sword array to trap and kill those two Sea Race Great Cultivators, his own body was also a top-tier Magic Treasure.
With the sound of a surging heavenly river, Ning Fa rapidly mobilized his vital energy and blood. His body was as hot as a furnace, his right hand emitted a dazzling silver light, and he fiercely pushed forward.
There was a clang of metal striking metal, and a burst of air erupted.
The Sea-Splitting Spear suddenly exploded, scattering into thousands of spear lights, but these spear lights remained suspended in the air, not dissipating. They then vibrated intensely.
With the sound of violent waves surging, these spear lights transformed into thousands of mini Sea-Splitting Spears, each only a few inches in size.
Their spear energies permeated and intertwined, instantly forming a spear array covering several miles in the air. In the center of the spear array, a giant sea eye phantom appeared.
Lor's lips curled up, his previously lazy eyes now filled with bloodlust as he formed a strange hand seal.
"Sea-Splitting Second Style: Spear Sea Formation!"
Immediately, countless miniature long spears within the spear formation vibrated intensely. Following that, countless cyan-gold spear energy projectiles shot out.
They intertwined and merged, forming a tide of countless spear energy projectiles in the blink of an eye. It spread across the sky like a cyan-gold torrent, sweeping towards Ning Fa.
Such a grand spectacle immediately drew the attention of other battle groups. The Great Cultivators on Cangyuan's side couldn't help but worry for Ning Fa.
Just then, a rumbling roar echoed out.
A Sky-Supporting Giant Lightning Hand appeared within the spear formation. Its lightning radiance flickered, with the palm lines formed by countless lightning threads clearly visible.
The tide of spear energy projectiles, which had seemed to sweep across the heavens and earth, appeared incredibly insignificant before this hand.
The hand slammed down fiercely.
The tide of spear energy projectiles trembled madly. Countless spear energy projectiles shot out, attempting to resist, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, unable to inflict significant damage on the lightning giant hand.
The next moment, with an explosion, the hand pressed down completely.
This tide of spear energy projectiles completely collapsed.
Luo Er, who had a bloodthirsty expression, suddenly turned pale and retreated several steps.
He stabilized his footing, opened his right hand, and with a flash of blue light, the Sea-Splitting Spear reappeared.
The spear was still vibrating intensely, and its emitted spiritual light had dimmed considerably.
Luo Er looked ahead with great apprehension.
Ning Fa, who had reappeared, was now thirty feet tall.
Billions of fine electrical arcs formed Lightning Armor around him, covering his entire body. This armor was entirely light purple, with only a few areas mixed with silver.
Coiled electrical arcs roamed the surface of each armor plate, and lightning radiance, several feet long, occasionally erupted from the gaps between the plates.
Furthermore, countless lightning bolts intertwined on the surface of his lightning armor, forming Kui Dragon Patterns. The electric light flowed within these Kui Dragon Patterns as if breathing.
The Thunder Crown he wore had nine condensed, solid lightning bolts as horns, radiating outwards towards the sky.
A fist-sized thunder bead floated above the crown. Within it, thunderclouds could be vaguely seen churning. Every flicker of lightning caused subtle ripples in the surrounding space.
His face was covered by a layer of flowing lightning radiance, making his exact features indistinguishable.
His eyes had become two constantly rotating vortexes of lightning storms, emitting destructive energy. Wherever his gaze swept, the air was scorched, creating crackling trails.
Behind him floated twelve rotating light wheels of lightning patterns, layered one after another.
The wheels were inscribed with the Heavenly Cycle Stars and Thunder Runes. As they spun, they cast billions of fine electrical threads, weaving a shimmering sea of lightning behind him.
At this moment, Ning Fa had activated his Divine Firmament Manifestation, which was close to the First Transformation realm, exuding a terrifying aura.
The sheer power of Ning Fa's aura after activating the manifestation shook the other battle groups once again. Numerous shocked and apprehensive gazes turned towards them, especially the Tianli Cultivators, whose expressions became even more grim.
The apprehension in Luo Er's eyes subsided, replaced by a more excited expression.
"With this kind of strength, it's worth my full effort, Luo Er!"
As he spoke, cyan-blue flames erupted around him, and rolling seawater suddenly surged forth, circling him counter-clockwise. The aura he emitted grew stronger and stronger.
At this moment, Ning Fa, who had transformed into the Divine Firmament Manifestation, slammed his hand towards the Heaven-Shattering Sword Array behind him without turning his head. Another giant lightning hand immediately appeared, grabbing the sea dragon that was already on the verge of death within the sword array.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, the sea dragon was crushed by the lightning giant hand. Then, two blue lights shot out from within, disappearing in a flash.
These were the Nascent Souls of the two Sea Race Great Cultivators, who had escaped using teleportation.
The Divine Firmament Manifestation suddenly opened its mouth and let out a roar like thunder. The surrounding space immediately rippled violently, like a stone dropped into a lake.
The two Nascent Souls of the Sea Race Great Cultivators, who were in the process of teleporting, were caught off guard and fell out of the void.
At this moment, the Divine Firmament Manifestation's figure suddenly blurred, then solidified again in the blink of an eye.
And now, in his hands, were two unconscious Sea Race Nascent Souls.
With a flip of the Divine Firmament Manifestation's hands, these two Sea Race Nascent Souls vanished.
Simultaneously, in Ning Fa's sea of consciousness, the Source-Crossing Heavenly Book had gained eight hundred Third-Tier Origin Points.
With this, after Ning Fa's intervention, the enemy Great Cultivators were now three dead and one severely injured.
At this moment, a roar echoed.
The seawater that had enveloped Luo Er had disappeared.
