Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1105 Eight Years
Ning Fa breathed a sigh of relief and estimated that he currently had about half of his mana, spiritual sense, and blood energy left.

He couldn't help but sigh again, thankful for the heaven-defying ability of True Form Imprint, which was the most crucial reliance for him to compete with Nascent Soul cultivators.

Ning Fahuan swept his eyes across the battlefields of other Nascent Soul cultivators within a hundred miles, and a slight look of seriousness appeared on his face.

At a glance, there were a total of thirty battle groups, and about half of them were in which the human race was at a disadvantage.

In the other fifteen battle groups, roughly half were evenly matched, while the humans had the upper hand in the other half.

This is not surprising, because among cultivators of the same level, high-level cultivators of the sea demon race are generally slightly stronger than human cultivators.

What Ning Fa was most concerned about was that Gu Zun, Yuan Zun, and Xuan Yi Shen Jun were directly confronting the three strongest Nascent Soul cultivators on the enemy side.

The three battle zones were ablaze with chaos, the heavens and earth seemed to shatter, and violent spiritual pressure swept outwards like waves. Other Nascent Soul cultivators instinctively moved away from them.

To Ning Fa's relief, these three strongest human beings did not show any signs of weakness and fought back and forth with their opponents. Moreover, all six of them had already unleashed powerful treasures of the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure level.

Tianbao Immortal Merchant, on the other hand, was completely at ease, keeping a mid-stage Nascent Soul Sea Clan cultivator firmly in check, and it seemed that he was not going all out.

This was also the result of Ningfa's previous communication with him.

Tianbao Immortal Merchant indeed had the ability to unleash his power and severely injure the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator on the other side.

However, the price Ningfa would have to pay was extremely high, at least equivalent to employing him for one or two decades.

Therefore, Ning Fa could only settle for second best, allowing Tianbao Immortal Merchant to restrain one of the opposing mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

As for the other mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, whether it was Yue Long, Master Ji Zhao, or Lady Jiu Hua from the Twilight Moon Immortal Cultivation World, they all faced a slightly difficult situation when facing enemy cultivators of the same level.

Fortunately, experts of this level have many tricks up their sleeves and can obviously hold out for a long time.

Ning Fa stopped looking at them and instead surveyed the other battle groups. Now that he had escaped, he naturally had to lend a hand to those in critical situations.

Just then, a powerful voice transmitted to Ning Fa's ear: "Fellow Daoist Ning, well done!"

How are you doing now? If you still have the strength, please go and support the Ancestral Beast.

It hadn't been there long; its form hadn't fully solidified, and it couldn't maintain that state for long.

The one who transmitted the message was none other than the Divine Lord Liyang of the Taichu Gate, fifty miles away.

Ning Fa nodded and flew off in one direction, his target being the ancestral beast of the Yuan Shou Ancestral Court.

The golden bull-beast was engaged in a fierce battle with a tall sea creature with wings on its back.

At this moment, the ancestral beast was still small and exquisite, but its whole body shone with golden light, especially its pair of sharp horns, which released a dense golden light wave like mercury, covering an area of ​​more than ten miles.

However, the sea creature named Mattis on the other side was no ordinary being either. With a flap of its wings, it unleashed a fierce black hurricane, and it also used a pair of extremely powerful black giant axe magic weapons, rampaging through the golden light waves.

Despite the restriction of the golden light waves, his figure was still as fast as lightning, and each impact had the power to tear mountains and split seas, putting far more pressure on Ningfa than on Carlos, whom he had just fought.

That ancestral beast was no ordinary creature either. The golden light waves were like its home ground, allowing it to teleport almost freely within them without any restrictions. Therefore, even though Mattis was incredibly powerful, he was unable to attack it.

However, it was clear that the golden light waves were gradually thinning, and the speed at which the ancestral beast teleported was also slowing down.

A sinister grin had already appeared on Matthias's ferocious face.

Suddenly, he stopped moving at high speed, his huge fleshy wings spread out, and with a sudden swipe, he shot out two black tornadoes, one clockwise and one counterclockwise, which instantly grew to be over a hundred feet in size and surrounded the ancestral beast.

The ancestral beast was about to teleport again when a golden light flashed around its body, but a huge attraction suddenly came from between the two tornadoes, causing its body to freeze.

At the same time, a long, narrow, jet-black giant axe blade suddenly appeared in front of it, slashing towards it at extremely fast speed.

At this critical moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared beside the Ancestral Beast. After the lightning dissipated, the Ancestral Beast disappeared, and the sharp shadow of the giant axe flashed for more than ten miles, directly shattering the golden light wave.

More than a hundred feet away, Ning Fa appeared, along with the ancestral beast he had saved.

The beast stared at Ning Fa with its large, black, gem-like eyes, full of curiosity. Then, a childlike voice appeared in Ning Fa's mind: "Fellow Daoist, thank you. My name is Huan Yu."

Ning Fa was somewhat surprised. Although this ancestral beast looked a bit silly and cute, it was quite intelligent, judging from its communication abilities.

He immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Huanyu, no need to be so polite. How much strength do you have left? The Nascent Soul stage of the opposing sea race is too strong; I can't handle it alone."

The childish voice rang out again: "Originally, I could only hold on for a little over a hundred breaths, but now with your help, and if you can still muster the strength you just displayed, I'm confident I can hold on for at least another half an hour."

Ning Fa was initially delighted, but then became somewhat doubtful, wondering if the Ancestral Beast was overestimating him.
At this moment, Matthias on the opposite side did not rush to attack, but stared intently at Ningfa, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, and shouted:

"Carlos has actually been forced to this point by a Nascent Soul cultivator like you! It's a disgrace to our clan! Boy, you'd better prepare to die!"

Before he finished speaking, Matthias had already hurled a pair of giant axes in his hands, leaving countless axe shadows in the void.

These axe shadows did not disappear; instead, they spread rapidly in all directions. In the blink of an eye, this area was completely surrounded by an impenetrable black axe shadow.

Ning Fa dared not be negligent and had already activated the Divine Firmament Dharma Form. As the lightning wheel behind him spun rapidly, it released a large area of ​​purple thunderclouds, protecting him and the Ancestral Beast within it.

But under the slicing cuts of the surrounding waves of black axe shadows, the thunderclouds rapidly thinned.

At this moment, the Ancestral Beast took a deep breath, and the curved horn on its head once again shot out waves of golden light, causing the axe shadows to sink into a swamp, and the crisis was immediately relieved.

"Fellow Daoist, please unleash your Supreme Golden Divine Thunder." The Ancestral Beast's voice echoed in Ning Fa's ears again.

Ningfa glanced at it with some confusion, but immediately did as it was told.

The thunderclouds he released immediately sprang up streaks of pure white lightning.

The golden light waves around them actually adhered to the surface of these lightning bolts, instantly increasing their power and causing the sharp axe shadows to flicker.

Ning Fa was filled with surprise. At this moment, the power of his Supreme Gold Divine Thunder had increased directly from the middle grade of the fourth rank to the upper grade of the fourth rank, and even more, it was several times stronger than the Supreme Wood Divine Thunder, which had already reached the peak of the fourth rank.

But now is not the time to delve into the details. While fighting against the surrounding waves of axe shadows, Ning Fa quietly set up the Heavenly Calamity Sword Formation once again.

Another great war has broken out.

Not only on Ningfa's side, but the battles in the other Nascent Soul battle groups are also becoming increasingly fierce, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the human race.

But soon after, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the sky began to surge wildly, rushing towards the battle groups, and was mostly absorbed by the human race's Nascent Soul cultivators.

In an instant, one after another extremely powerful divine abilities began to be unleashed by the human race's Nascent Soul cultivators using the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

When the enemy's Nascent Soul cultivators saw the humans fighting desperately, they also tried to mobilize the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) to resist.

But at this moment, a phantom star appeared above their heads, and the hazy starlight it emitted seemed to isolate the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), making it impossible for them to absorb the天地元气.

In this way, the disadvantageous situation of the human race was immediately reversed.

Before long, some of the weaker enemy Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't hold out any longer and were the first to retreat.

Elena, the sea tribe leader, was now covered in exquisite crystal armor and wielding a crystal greatsword, knocking away the bright yellow seal magic weapon activated by the Venerable Jizhao.

But she glanced around, a look of regret in her beautiful eyes, and then with a flick of her sleeve, a blue conch shell flew out.

In a flash of light, the conch shell emitted a gentle, lapping sound.

Upon hearing this sound, the other Nascent Soul cultivators from the two sea monster races who were still engaged in fierce battle immediately retreated. The armies of the two races that were still attacking the city below also began to sound the retreat and withdraw under the cover of the surrounding giant waves.

The human race's Nascent Soul cultivators didn't give chase, because if they were to leave the Nine Palaces Star Array, they might be the ones to suffer.

Moreover, having used their innate divine powers, their losses were considerable. One by one, the human Nascent Soul cultivators simultaneously took out a golden bottle, poured out a glassy golden liquid, and began to meditate on the spot.

This is the Divine Dew that the Primordial Beginning Sect took out earlier.

This precious spiritual item can replenish the energy consumed by Nascent Soul cultivators when using innate supernatural powers, without consuming their lifespan.

"You wait for me!"

In one of the battles, Mastice, whose body was already covered in wounds and even had a deep sword scar on his left wing, glared angrily at Ningfa and the Ancestral Beast, then without hesitation folded his wings and retreated rapidly.

The light on the other side faded, and Ning Fa appeared. He was also covered in wounds, but his condition was still good, with about 30-40% remaining.

However, he used the True Form Imprint a second time, which cost him 400 Source Points, bringing his Source Points down to 1,500.

Ning Fa couldn't help but show a look of pain in his eyes; the losses in this battle were quite significant.

Not only him, but also Tianbao Xianshang consumed even more Origin Points in this battle, and those were all fourth-tier Origin Points.

Ning Fa glanced down at the retreating sea monster armies below, and without further hesitation, he vanished in a flash of lightning.

He had to take the opportunity to kill some of the enemy's Nascent Soul cultivators to recover some health.

Only the ancestral beast remained in the distance. It was unharmed, but its golden light had dimmed.

Its eyes were fixed on the direction Ning Fa had gone, the original hazy innocence gone, replaced by a thoughtful and hesitant look, making it look no different from an old monster who had cultivated for many years.

At this moment, cheers erupted throughout Zhenhai City, for the human race had won this battle.

However, the cheers were noticeably weaker than before, which gives you an idea of ​​how many human cultivators perished in this battle.

About half an hour later, in the southwest of Zhenhai City, near the sea, a flash of star-blue light appeared in the sky, and Ning Fa suddenly appeared.

He first looked terrified, then his face turned grim.

Because he only had time to kill two early-stage fourth-tier sea creatures before being caught up by the mid-stage Nascent Soul sea creature female commander.

The opponent's supernatural powers were extremely strong, and he was no match for them at all. Moreover, the opponent was clearly targeting him and seemed intent on capturing him alive.

Fortunately, Ningfa had already laid down the anchor point beforehand and used the Star Travel Compass to teleport back.

Ning Fa shook his head, a bitter smile appearing on his face. It seemed that it wouldn't be so easy to replenish his source points by killing the Nascent Souls of the Sea Demons and the Sea Monsters without restraint in the future.

Although there are still relatively abundant source points, they must be used with caution.

Seven days later, the human cultivators who had reached the Nascent Soul stage held a post-war meeting.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators sustained serious injuries in this battle and needed to recuperate.

The meeting lasted for most of the day, and after it ended, all the Nascent Soul cultivators looked somewhat somber.

The battle resulted in heavy casualties, with over sixty Nascent Soul cultivators falling, more than a thousand Core Formation cultivators, and countless Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators.

Fortunately, the enemy also suffered heavy casualties, and the main defensive mechanism of Zhenhai City was still intact, especially the Wanlong Wood and the Nine Palaces Star Formation, which was the greatest reliance in fighting the enemy.

Today's battle has officially kicked off the great war between the human race and the sea monster race.

Just one month later, the two sea monsters launched a second attack.

This siege lasted for three days and three nights, and in this short period of time, the enemy devised a way to counter the restrictions imposed on them by the Nine Palaces Star Array.

It was a blue, round, bead-like treasure that could counter the star projections of the Nine Palaces Han Star Array.

In this way, the two sea monster races' deities can also use their innate supernatural powers when attacking the city.

The good news is that they are still subject to certain restrictions, but they still put immense pressure on the top combat forces of the human side.

However, thanks to the terrain, the human race managed to hold on, but this time the casualties in Zhenhai City were very high.

Even among the Nascent Soul cultivators, two were seriously injured, and more than a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators perished. The total number of casualties among the human race was close to 100,000, and more than half of the original defensive restrictions were lost. It can be said that the losses were extremely heavy.

However, the major human forces also urgently recruited manpower from other cultivation worlds, and human cultivators continued to arrive to replenish their ranks.

And so, five years slowly passed amidst the fierce racial war.

In those five years, Zhenhai City was attacked by the enemy more than a hundred times.

The sea, stretching for thousands of miles, was a blood-red color, filled with the stench of blood, as both sides had surrounded this magnificent city, leaving behind countless corpses and remains.

The number of human cultivators who perished was in the millions, including more than six hundred Nascent Soul cultivators.

As for the Nascent Soul cultivators, they had long since exhausted their spiritual resources, such as Divine Dew, which could replenish their vital energy. In the continuous battles, they had all lost a certain amount of their lifespan.

Two human Nascent Soul cultivators even perished, while the opposing side also lost a Nascent Soul cultivator from the sea race.

However, what was very disadvantageous for the human race was that the black and white giant tiger beasts that could previously fight against a Nascent Soul cultivator had both perished in the past five years, and the fifth-order puppet of the Nine Immortals Society had also been destroyed.

As a result, the human race had three fewer Nascent Soul stage warriors than the opposing side.

Fortunately, the Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance and the Nine Immortals Society promised a huge price to persuade two Nascent Soul cultivators who had previously lived in seclusion and were unwilling to get involved.

In this way, although the human race has lost one more Nascent Soul cultivator, it can still hold on overall.

The enemy was clearly not having an easy time either, suffering considerable losses.

The number of dead demons alone is in the tens of millions. Although most of them were low-level demons, it is still quite staggering.

The number of fallen sea race cultivators was much smaller, only a few hundred thousand. This was because the cultivators sent to support the Sea Origin Realm were all elites, basically starting from the Foundation Establishment stage, so the casualties were still considerable.

Seeing how difficult Zhenhai City was to conquer, the sea race finally gave up their idea of ​​breaking through the city and annihilating the main force of the human race in one fell swoop.

Instead, they changed their strategy, taking advantage of their superior high-level combat power, and began to disperse their forces, avoiding Zhenhai City, and raiding other areas of Jiuzhonghai.

The human race naturally wouldn't stand idly by, and correspondingly divided its high-level cultivators into small teams, each led by a Nascent Soul cultivator, to provide support and assistance.

Although they are slightly inferior to the enemy's top combat power, the human race has the advantage of having the terrain and the support of the people, as well as a very advanced teleportation array that allows for rapid support.

And so, another three years passed.

In these three years, the battle between the two sides has transformed from the siege of Zhenhai City into a fierce struggle on countless fronts, with both sides experiencing wins and losses, and the human race has barely managed to hold its ground.

But in this fierce racial war, there is a little-known corner.

That was a trench at the junction of the Five Spirits Sea and the Thunder Sea, a place thousands of feet deep on the seabed.

In this trench, there is a place that resembles a valley. Once inside, you will find that this valley is filled with a rich, five-colored liquid, emanating an unimaginably pure spiritual energy of the five elements, even comparable to the spiritual energy emitted by a top-grade spirit stone.

In the center of the valley, a seemingly ordinary gray clay teapot floated quietly, tilted over, with a thin stream of five-colored liquid slowly dripping from its spout.

This is clearly the source of the five-colored liquid in this valley. However, the valley seems to be bound by an invisible force, preventing the five-colored liquid from flowing out and forcing it to slowly dissipate along the mysterious patterns on the valley walls.

At the entrance to this valley, there was a beautiful figure dressed in a scarlet dress; it was Su Wanwan.

She looked at the clay teapot in the valley with a longing expression.
