At this moment, the Great Cultivators in the sky, even Hermit Xuyuan, couldn't help but turn pale.
He finally understood why the enemy had performed so abnormally during their last encounter; it turned out they had prepared such a terrifying method for attacking the city.
Even he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair at this moment.
"Hahaha, old man Xuyuan, today is the day Zhenyou City falls and Cangyuan perishes!"
Opposite him, Mei Danlun laughed heartily, while Su Rihe, who had joined forces with him, stroked his long beard with a smile.
Then he looked at the gray sphere of light above Hermit Xuyuan's head, its spiritual light already very dim, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Without the assistance of this fifth-tier Grand Array, how else do you expect to contend against the two of us!"
As he spoke, dazzling spiritual light erupted from both Su Rihe and Mei Danlun, as if they were fighting for their lives, attacking frantically.
They had witnessed Ning Fa's terrifying strength after his breakthrough and return, and had resolved to defeat Cangyuan today, not giving them any chance to breathe.
Hermit Xuyuan's robes fluttered, his expression solemn, and his eyes held a look of determination to die.
He pointed his right index and middle fingers towards his forehead. With a flash of golden light, a peculiar golden spiritual talisman floated out from his forehead, scattering specks of golden brilliance.
In a flash of golden light, the talisman transformed into a small, exquisite golden sword, emitting a terrifying spiritual pressure.
This was the highest secret technique of the Spiritual Pivot Pavilion—the Dao Yuan Sword!
It was nurtured by a cultivator's Nascent Soul spiritual essence after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, and could not be used without a hundred years of nurturing.
Once used, its power was unparalleled.
Hermit Xuyuan's Dao Yuan Sword was even more terrifying, as it was based on a Spirit Treasure that he had nurtured for several hundred years.
The price of using this sword was even more astonishing, as it consumed his own lifespan.
At this critical juncture, Hermit Xuyuan was prepared to perish together with his enemies.
The other Great Cultivators of Cangyuan, who no longer had the assistance of the Grand Extermination Immortal Array, had also simultaneously unleashed their life-risking secret techniques and engaged the enemy in fierce combat.
Fortunately, Ning Fa had just killed three enemies and heavily injured one, preventing Cangyuan's numerical disadvantage from being too severe.
Meanwhile, Ning Fa was already embroiled in another fierce battle.
His opponent had changed to the Sea Race councilwoman, Hathaway.
This woman had also transformed into a giant, several dozen feet tall.
Despite her imposing height, she appeared even more tall and slender.
Her crystal armor only covered her vital areas, making her even more alluring.
She wore a crystal crown, and the diamond-shaped crystal on her forehead emitted a peculiar glow. The extremely dense Water Spiritual Power from the surrounding abyss seemed to be drawn towards the crystal on her forehead, making her appear even more noble.
She wielded a deep blue scepter, and above her head, a palm-sized crystal pyramid was rapidly spinning.
Circles of strange crystalline light emanated from the crystal pyramid, causing the surrounding abyss to crystallize. This area became like gemstone.
But soon, brilliant lightning erupted from within, shattering the crystals, and Ning Fa, in his Divine Firmament Manifestation form, appeared.
He had been intercepted by this woman just as he was about to seize the Heart of the Ancestral Sea.
Not far away, the Heart of the Ancestral Sea was currently enveloped by a peculiar illusory projection of a crystal pyramid.
Ning Fa had just attempted to use his Lightning Escape technique to teleport near it and directly seize it, but he found it difficult to break through the outer crystalline pyramid projection.
Ning Fa soon understood that the Heart of the Ancestral Sea was clearly protected by this Sea Race female cultivator's crystal pyramid magic treasure, and he had to defeat her first.
However, this woman was very powerful, and like the Sea Race commander Lor, she had clearly unleashed that strange and powerful Yuan Crystal Manifestation. Moreover, the power of the abyss was currently giving her even greater support.
Ning Fa's current Divine Firmament Manifestation form could not do anything to her for the time being.
Just then, a flash of green light appeared near the woman, and Lor's figure reappeared.
He was covered in numerous bloody wounds, looking extremely pathetic. Sharp Sword Intent was still erupting from his wounds, making it difficult to recover even in the abyss.
He roared furiously at Hathaway, "This person is my opponent! You are not allowed to interfere, get lost!"
Hathaway turned to him, looking at him coldly, and transmitted a few words with her lips.
Lor's brow furrowed deeply, and then he snorted unwillingly, "If you dare to lie to me, I will make sure you die a miserable death!"
After speaking, he turned back and glared fiercely at Ning Fa, "Although I, Lor, have always disdained bullying the few with numbers, this is an exceptional circumstance, so don't blame me."
Facing the combined might of the two powerful individuals, Ning Fa's expression remained impassive.
He first glanced at Zhenyou City, which was struggling to resist the second wave of demon whale attacks, and then at the Heart of the Ancestral Sea, which was quietly suspended in the abyss several miles away.
His voice, like thunder, boomed out, "You should be proud to have forced me to use this move, but you can die now!"
As he spoke, dazzling lightning erupted from Ning Fa's body, engulfing him. An extremely terrifying aura was rapidly ascending within it.
"Not good, he's going to fight to the death, stop him quickly!"
Hathaway's expression changed drastically, and she immediately pointed her scepter towards the crystal pyramid in the air.
The pyramid immediately emitted a brilliant crystalline light, and in an instant, hundreds of identical pyramids scattered out, surrounding Ning Fa in the thunderclouds with an arcane formation.
Hathaway's eyes also became strangely crystalline, and the pure Water Spiritual Power from the surrounding abyss was instantly drawn towards the diamond-shaped crystal on her forehead like a whale swallowing.
The aura emanating from this woman also rapidly increased.
With a sudden forward thrust of her scepter in her right hand, a powerful beam of crystal light shot towards the golden pyramids.
As these crystal golden pyramids trembled violently, waves of crystal light emanated from their tips, weaving into a tide of crystal that swept towards Ning Fa in the center.
Following the sound of surging water, a strange yet powerful mental fluctuation emanated from this crystal tide.
A few Heavenly Li and Rakshasa cultivators several miles away, who were slightly closer, were merely grazed by the residual waves of this crystal light. Crystal light first appeared on their bodies. Just as fear surfaced on their faces, their entire heads exploded, including several Core Formation cultivators.
This was the Sea Race's powerful secret art – Mental Tide.
At this moment, Lor raised his spear with his right hand and began to spin rapidly. In an instant, he transformed into a monstrous dragon spear tens of feet long, becoming a dazzling streak of light as he also thrust towards Ning Fa ahead.
Just then.
A right hand clad in a pale purple Thunder Gauntlet emerged from the thunderclouds.
Compared to that monstrous dragon spear, this fist appeared so small.
But with a casual grab and clench of this fist, it directly seized the tip of the monstrous dragon spear.
Then, this right fist, shimmering with purple lightning, clenched fiercely. An extremely terrifying power erupted from it, and a purple lightning storm halo instantly spread out.
With a bang, the tip of the monstrous dragon spear was actually snapped off.
The thunderous right fist then struck again with lightning speed.
With a scream, shocking deep cracks appeared all over the surface of the monstrous dragon spear.
In the next moment, under this terrifying power, it was sent flying backward at a speed several times faster than when it arrived.
At this time, the thunderclouds dissipated, and a not-so-tall figure walked out from within.
This figure looked very similar to the Divine Firmament Manifestation from before, but its entire Thunder Armor had now turned pale purple, with arcs of electricity like purple snakes dancing across its surface.
The mysterious Thunder Rune on the chest armor, which was somewhat blurry before, was now completely solidified.
The current Divine Firmament Manifestation exuded a terrifying aura several times stronger than before, as if it could destroy the world with every move.
At this moment, Ning Fa had forcefully activated the second stage of the Divine Firmament Manifestation – the Spiritual Manifestation Realm, also known as the First Transformation. The Divine Firmament Manifestation had thus undergone a qualitative change.
The Divine Firmament Manifestation's right palm gently patted forward again, causing a ring of purple lightning to erupt, instantly engulfing the crystal golden pyramids around him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Amidst bursts of explosions, these crystal golden pyramids shattered one after another.
As crystal light flashed wildly, one of the crystal golden pyramids shot out from within, its spiritual light flashing, and flew back above Hathaway's head.
This veteran council member of the Sea Race's face had changed drastically. She looked at Ning Fa at this moment, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible! How could your strength reach this level!"
She gritted her teeth fiercely, grabbed that crystal golden pyramid, and forcefully pushed it into the diamond-shaped crystal on her forehead.
Her pretty face was filled with ferocious pain, and at the same time, the aura she exuded was rapidly increasing. Then, her figure blurred in the seawater, disappearing in an instant.
At this moment, the Divine Firmament Manifestation suddenly raised both hands, and countless purple lightning bolts erupted from its hands, instantly covering a radius of dozens of miles, like a marsh of lightning.
Amidst the rolling thunder, countless thick purple lightning bolts rained down like a storm.
The Sea Race, Heavenly Li, and Rakshasa cultivators around them, upon encountering these purple lightning bolts, turned into dust without any resistance, even Core Formation cultivators were no exception.
Screams echoed one after another. In just a dozen breaths, nearly a thousand enemy cultivators had perished.
This was the powerful Divine Ability that the second stage of the Divine Firmament Manifestation, the Spiritual Manifestation Realm, could wield – Divine Firmament Thunder Marsh!
At this time, about a hundred feet away to the right, Hathaway, whose figure had been hidden, was forced to reveal herself, surrounded by dense purple lightning.
Her pretty face also showed a look of madness. She raised her scepter high, and the crystal stone at the top of the scepter also erupted with dazzling crystal light. The powerful Divine Firmament lightning was actually dispelled by this golden light, clearly indicating that this woman was also going to fight desperately.
At this moment, in the right hand of the Divine Firmament Manifestation, purple lightning condensed, forming a strange purple thunder spear.
Dense mysterious Thunder Runes danced wildly around this spear, and an indescribably terrifying aura emanated from it.
This was the Divine Firmament Manifestation in the First Transformation realm, another powerful Divine Ability – Heavenly Punishment Thunder Spear!
With a gentle throw of its right hand, the Divine Firmament Manifestation disappeared with a tremor.
In the next moment, this thunder spear appeared in front of Hathaway.
At the same time, a brilliant crystal light erupted from the scepter in the woman's hand, actually blocking the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Spear for a moment.
But the countless Thunder Runes on the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Spear flickered wildly, and its terrifying power erupted, directly piercing the crystal light emanating from the crystal scepter, and then directly piercing the diamond-shaped crystal on Hathaway's forehead.
With a shattering sound, this crystal exploded, and the woman turned into countless specks of crystal light, scattering in all directions.
At the same time, the phantom of the crystal golden pyramid that had been covering the Heart of the Ancestral Sea not far away also shattered.
Just as the Heart of the Ancestral Sea, with its spiritual light flashing, was about to dart to the side, with a crackling sound, a figure suddenly appeared and grabbed the Heart of the Ancestral Sea, which then disappeared with a flash of light.
Immediately, angry whale cries were heard. The third wave of demonic whales that had already formed, which had reached the vicinity of Zhenyou City, now lost their source of power and dispersed.
The vast abyss sea also poured down, disappearing completely within a dozen breaths.
The barrier light screen of Zhenyou City, which had been on the verge of collapse, stabilized again.
The Cangyuan cultivators on the city walls, who had already despaired, were first disbelieving, and then let out earth-shattering cheers.
