Although the Soul Nurturing Divine Spring was right before them, Ning Daozhen and Ying Zhen's factions remained extremely cautious. They rested in place for more than half a day, and only after their conditions had mostly recovered did they carefully enter the oasis.
What made Ning Fa frown deeply next was that Ying Zhen seemed to have thought of something, turned his head, and gave an order to a guard beside him.
Immediately, the attractive female cultivator, along with the other three, began to set up an array formation at the entrance of the oasis.
Judging from the spiritual light emanating from the array disks, it was clearly a Fourth-grade array formation.
Ying Zhen clearly didn't want anyone who came later to steal his thunder.
Ning Fa secretly thought that Ying Zhen was indeed cautious, but he wasn't worried at all.
With the greatly improved Star Roaming Compass, this Fourth-grade array formation should have no effect on him.
Before long, a screen of misty white light stretched across the entrance of the oasis, and even Spiritual Sense couldn't penetrate it.
However, a tiny, almost imperceptible blue star then floated out, passing through the light screen without any obstruction.
The next moment, at some point on the inner edge, although there seemed to be no change, Ning Fa's figure had actually appeared abruptly.
Ning Fa glanced at the two factions cautiously advancing several miles ahead, couldn't help but chuckle, and then carefully followed.
Before long, everyone had arrived at the center of the oasis.
An ancient well appeared before everyone's eyes, with a dense blue light overflowing from it, and misty vapor spreading outwards.
At this moment, the cool sensation in everyone's Divine Soul became even more intense, bringing an indescribably comfortable feeling.
"It really is the Soul Nurturing Divine Spring!" Ying Zhen laughed heartily.
Ning Daozhen and the other two were also filled with excitement, but neither side made a rash move.
Ying Zhen glanced at the bald man with tattoos. The man nodded, and his figure flickered, creating an identical figure of himself. He moved extremely quickly towards the ancient well.
But as soon as he stepped onto the stone platform around the ancient well, intense blue light suddenly erupted from the platform, engulfing the figure.
The bald man with tattoos' expression changed drastically. He rapidly formed hand seals, but after a moment, his face suddenly turned pale. He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the spot with great fear.
Ying Zhen stared intently in the direction of the ancient well and snorted coldly, "I knew it wouldn't be this easy."
At this moment, the blue light did not dissipate but instead condensed together, churning continuously.
In the blink of an eye, a strange figure appeared.
Its lower body was an eight-legged spider, entirely crystal blue. Its upper body was graceful and alluring, with clouds of hair, a rare beauty who was looking at everyone with affectionate eyes.
This was actually a bizarre demon creature, half-spider and half-human in appearance.
Such a strange image made these Nascent Soul powerhouses' expressions turn solemn.
And from the confused expressions of both factions, it was clear they didn't recognize this kind of demon creature.
At this moment, the spider demoness scanned everyone, then let out a charming laugh before flicking her right hand in front of her.
Instantly, a beam of blue light shot out from her hand, engulfing Ying Zhen and the other seven in a flash.
Then, the spider's body beneath the woman suddenly swayed, and countless blue-black silk threads shot out, wildly wrapping around the eight of them.
Ying Zhen's side, though surprised, was not in disarray. They had already summoned their respective Magic Treasures and unhesitatingly attacked the blue-black silk threads.
However, these silk threads seemed to be nothingness, passing through the Magic Treasures without any obstruction, and binding them tightly in the blink of an eye.
Once these cultivators were entangled by these blue-black silk threads, they instantly felt their Divine Soul power being uncontrollably devoured by the threads.
Ying Zhen seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed drastically, and he roared:
"Damn it! It's a Void-Gloom Female Demon! Don't move your Divine Soul power, use your most yang Divine Abilities against it!"
With this reminder, the others finally remembered what this spider demoness was, and their expressions all changed drastically.
This Void-Gloom Female Demon was also a legendary powerful demon creature, a special soul state that fed on the Divine Soul power of living beings. Ordinary attack methods were completely ineffective against it. Legend had it that only the most yang Divine Abilities could restrain it somewhat.
At the same time, Ying Zhen had already summoned a fiery red Jade Ruyi Magic Treasure. It shot out a streak of crimson light, and the silk threads wrapped around Ying Zhen began to slowly melt within this crimson light.
Ning Daozhen and the other two also summoned a small crimson cauldron, from which a group of crimson fire crows flew out, beginning to burn the silk threads on their bodies.
The other four Tianwu cultivators also used their respective methods. After all, at their level, even if they didn't primarily cultivate fire, they would have some yang-based techniques. However, their effects were clearly not as good as Ying Zhen's fiery red Ruyi.
Even so, the situation remained grim.
The Void-Gloom Female Demon, while looking at them affectionately, continued to spray more blue-black silk threads from its spider body below, as if there were no end to them, forcing Ying Zhen and the others to deal with them constantly.
Ning Fa, hiding not far away, had his eyes light up. This was naturally a good thing for him.
Another hour passed like this, and the silk threads emitted by the Void-Gloom Female Demon finally greatly reduced, and its aura weakened considerably.
Ying Zhen and the others, who had been struggling to resist, were overjoyed, but then their smiles froze.
The Void-Gloom Female Demon covered its mouth and chuckled charmingly at them, then reached out its left hand towards the ancient well behind it.
Instantly, a dense blue light flew out from the ancient well and merged into her body.
The demoness's aura surged, and she returned to her peak state. Then, a sky full of blue-black silk threads swept towards them again.
Ying Zhen's face turned ashen, and he cursed loudly before reluctantly taking out a talisman emitting a faint crimson light.
The next moment, a cluster of crimson light rain erupted, transforming into a giant crimson spear that severed the sky full of blue-black silk threads.
The Void-Gloom Female Demon was then directly pierced through, turning into countless blue fragments.
However, before Ying Zhen and the others could relax, another surge of dense blue water light flew out from the ancient well below.
The blue fragments gathered in the center, instantly reforming the Void-Gloom Female Demon's complete figure.
She looked at them with a mournful expression, then began to launch her web-like attacks again.
"Damn it!" Ying Zhen's furious curses could be heard.
For the next half of the day, even though Ying Zhen and the others racked their brains and shattered the Void-Gloom Female Demon's body several times, the demon could always recover with the help of the ancient well.
But after the Void-Gloom Female Demon was shattered for the fifth time, she finally did not recover.
Ying Zhen and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They were all at the end of their strength. If the Void-Gloom Female Demon had recovered again, they might not have been able to destroy her.
At this moment, Ying Zhen staggered to his feet, looked at the ancient well not far ahead, and burst into laughter. He didn't even bother to take a Recovery Elixir, and quickly walked forward.
Ning Daozhen also managed to stand up, his eyes flashing. He shouted, "Fellow Daoist Ying, don't forget what you promised us earlier?"
Ying Zhen snorted without looking back, "Don't worry, this young master always keeps his word.
But don't forget, it was this young master and my subordinates who dealt with that Void-Gloom Female Demon just now, so don't expect to get much of the Soul Nurturing Divine Spring."
Ning Daozhen's face immediately turned grim. Just as he was about to say something else, he sensed something and suddenly looked behind him.
The other Tianwu powerhouses sensed it almost simultaneously and looked back sharply.
Two hundred feet away, in a place that was previously empty, a terrifying spiritual light suddenly erupted, and a purple Thunder Giant several feet tall appeared abruptly.
It was clad in mysterious and noble purple lightning armor, wore a Thunder Crown, and had a lightning halo spinning rapidly behind its back. A mysterious lightning rune, like a sharp sword, was embedded in its chest, emitting a powerful spiritual pressure that made the strong individuals present turn pale.
Especially as the Thunder Giant raised its hands high, a five-colored lightning vortex had already formed between its palms, churning wildly.
Moreover, one could clearly feel the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy becoming agitated, surging towards this lightning vortex.
It exuded a terrifying spiritual pressure that seemed capable of destroying the heavens and earth.
It was Ning Fa, who had seen that the time was ripe and was preparing to launch a sneak attack.
This was because everyone here, having gone through a fierce battle with the Void-Gloom Female Demon, was severely depleted in their current state, making it the perfect opportunity to strike.
Furthermore, Ning Fa attacked with full force, directly activating his Divine Firmament Manifestation, and it was at the First Transformation stage.
The divine ability he had been charging up for a long time, and was about to unleash, was his most powerful single-target attack besides Chaos Divine Thunder: the Thunder Vortex Divine Light.
Beside him, a woman's figure also appeared, it was Liuying.
In her right hand, she held the Five Flames Lamp, and the five-colored flames on the lamp were rapidly growing, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.
"Ning Fa! What are you doing here!" Xiao Han's face changed drastically, and he shouted frantically.
Dan Hongzi, stroking his beard, was dumbfounded. Ning Daozhen's pupils also contracted, his expression grave.
At this moment, Ying Zhen also turned around, his face greatly changed.
His reaction was extremely fast, and with a flip of his right hand, the fiery red Ruyi Magic Treasure reappeared.
The other Tianwu cultivators also struggled to summon their Magic Treasures again, but they all wore looks of fear.
This was because the power emanating from the Thunder Vortex Divine Light in Ning Fa's hand made them feel a sense of impending doom.
But just then, the eyes of the Divine Firmament Manifestation lit up like two purple suns.
Two indescribably powerful purple lightning beams shot out, creating ripples in the void, and instantly struck Ying Zhen's head.
At this moment, within Ying Zhen's sea of consciousness, the two purple lightning beams appeared.
With an expansion and contraction, they erupted with a roar, and countless berserk lightning powers surged towards his sea of consciousness.
This was no longer the simple Spiritual Heart Divine Thunder, but its advanced version, Chinian Divine Thunder.
Its power was far greater than ever before, as Ning Fa had directly used nearly ten-tenths of his Divine Soul power.
