Peerless Battle Spirit

Following it, countless blood formations appeared in the air and surrounded the damaged South-Heaven Gate.

It felt like countless deities and demons had appeared. They were mumbling chants across the place as if they were conducting some kind of ceremony.

Unlike Qin Nan, the Heaven God Lu did not enter the space inside the South-Heaven Gate. He was heading for the place where the spirit of the South-Heaven Gate was.

He had spent ten thousand years planning and preparing for this moment, in order to devour the spirit of the South-Heaven Gate!

The spirit of the South-Heaven Gate was clueless about its relationship with the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, but Heaven God Lu knew all the secrets.

Once he placed the South-Heaven Gate under his control, he would be able to utilize its power to secure the fortune.

If he succeeded, he would have a great chance of reaching Empress Feiyue's level, and become a peerless ruler in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

AH!

Not long after, the spirit of the South-Heaven Gate uttered cries of agony.

The aura of the enormous gate changed rapidly, as if it was struggling fiercely inside.

"We have fought for more than ten thousand years, yet this happened to be its end."

The God Ranking shook its head pitifully. However, it was currently in a good mood. Since Qin Nan was dead, the greatest threat had been eliminated.

It did not even need to deal with the people of the Anti-Heaven Alliance.

"Interesting."

Empress Feiyue's eyes flickered.

She did know a little about the South-Heaven Gate. However, she was curious if it was a coincidence that the fifth immortal was inside the South-Heaven Gate, or was it on purpose?

Whoosh!

A few moments later, the spirit of the South-Heaven Gate stopped crying. The blue rays it was emitting turned into purple, blinding rays.

The South-Heaven Gate's aura was even stronger than before.

"Over ten thousand years, it took me more than ten thousand years, the South-Heaven Gate is finally under my control!" Heaven God Lu's voice was filled with excitement. However, his voice turned cold as he recalled something, "You mere ants dare to oppose me, you shall suffer the consequences!"

If Qin Nan was still around, and with Empress Feiyue's support, he would be more hesitant.

However, Qin Nan had already fallen, while he had controlled seventy percent of the space inside the South-Heaven Gate, more than what the spirit of the South-Heaven Gate had managed to control. Empress Feiyue alone had no chance of stopping him.

Meanwhile, the deepest part of the South-Heaven Gate...

Little did Heaven God Lu know, Qin Nan was not dead. He was still venturing deeper into the darkness.

Even with his eyes, he was unable to see the surroundings clearly. He could only sense the presence of terrifying existence watching him in the shadows.

These terrifying existence were completely different than the artifacts that the spirit of the South-Heaven Gate was using. Even just a wisp of their aura was enough to make Qin Nan tense his body.

ROAR!

Suddenly, a pair of bloodshot eyes appeared from the dark, as a beast claw with the size of an enormous mountain swung in Qin Nan's direction.

The other terrifying existence were watching closely too.

If the human was nothing special, they would not hesitate to attack him, to drink some of his blood.

"Crap!"

Qin Nan was startled.

The surprise attack was enough to kill an Earth God. He had no chance of defending it with his current strength.

"Are you asking for your death?"

A cold voice echoed in the dark.

The bloodshot eyes were immediately filled with terror. It quickly withdrew the giant claw and fled into the distance.

Qin Nan did not see the terrifying existence watching him in the darkness suddenly dropped to the ground and shivered in fear.

Whoosh!

A blue flame was ignited in the distance, followed by an enormous, incomplete body.

"Divine God of Battle..."

Qin Nan felt an indescribable emotion rising in his heart.

The Divine God of Battle was the greatest fortune in his life!

The Divine God of Battle was the main reason he could reach his height, alter his destiny numerous times, and breakthrough to the higher levels of cultivation!

He once swore an oath to shatter the South-Heaven Gate to retrieve the remaining body of the Divine God of Battle. However, he started to bore hatred toward the South-Heaven Gate because of what happened to the princess and Jiang Bilan.

My master, I initially planned to only meet you after you have shattered the South-Heaven Gate and destroy the seal suppressing the Canglan Continent. Unfortunately, the Beast Hide Drawing has shown up quicker than I thought. I have no choice but to meet you earlier."

The voice of the Divine God of Battle was like a loud bell. It was as imperious as ever.

However, the terrifying existence in the surroundings could clearly tell that the Divine God of Battle's voice was filled with respect.

"Divine God of Battle, who exactly is that Beast Hide Drawing? And what is your name? From what I heard from the Beast Hide Drawing, it seems like my identity..."

Qin Nan asked continuously.

He had far too many questions to ask.

"My master, now is still not the time to tell you everything. Some things have now become a taboo. If the words were spoken, it would place the Lower Secondary Realm, or even the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm in a great disaster."

The Divine God of Battle added, "However, once you ascended as an immortal, you will know most of it."

The truth was, it had a strong urge to spill the beans to Qin Nan.

However, for his sake, it must withhold the urge.

"Ascend as an immortal?"

Qin Nan slightly frowned.

The Beast Hide Drawing did mention that he only had a chance to save Princess Miao Miao once he ascended as an immortal.

"My master, I'm already a dead man. I only managed to live until today with a forbidden art." The right eye of the Divine God of Battle looked at Qin Nan as it spoke, "I have no regret since you've truly achieved the Martial God Realm and embarked on the real journey."

Qin Nan listened quietly.

The left eye, the Heaven-Shattering Saber, Sacred Leader Qinglong, and now the remaining body of the Divine God of Battle, he could sense a sincere relationship from them every time.

"I can no longer keep you in company for the rest of the journey. I can only merge with your body, and conquer the Nine Heavens with you."

"You will encounter all kinds of danger and enemies in the future."

"But I hope you remember, the fifth immortal, with the title Divine God of Battle has acknowledged you as his master. No one has the right to look down on you."

The body of the Divine God of Battle dropped to its knee. The skeleton turned into a blue ray and entered Qin Nan's body.

"Not...even the Heavens!"

An imperious aura burst into the sky. Its right eye seemed to have traveled across the rift and focused at something above the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, as if it was trying to reach someone.

The terrifying existence in the surroundings let out cries of agony as they were shattered by the blue ray. Even Heaven God Lu who had controlled the South-Heaven Gate felt a great chill.

BANG!

The incomplete body broke into pieces. It no longer existed, as it had fully merged with Qin Nan's body.
