Peerless Battle Spirit

Meanwhile, in the valley deep into the wooden door…

“Did…did we trigger the traps and forbidden formations here?” Xiu Shenliang said with a pale face.

It was not him being timid, but with his cultivation of mere peak Human Immortal Realm, anything that showed up could easily slap him to death.

“You asshole, watch your mouth, we won’t be that unlucky!”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor slapped Xiu Shenliang in the back of his head with a dark expression.

However, he was feeling extremely nervous too. He was already taking some preventive measures. He would flee for his life if anything did not seem right.

The unexpected occurrence soon came to an end.

The countless runes along the walls had formed a flight of ancient stairs heading into the clouds, leading to somewhere unknown.

In addition to it, the stairs were crystalline and emitting wisps of Dao glow, granting it an obscure presence.

“The Dao-Crossing Immortal Stairs? Why would something like that be here!?”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor and Yuanji were astounded.

“Dao-Crossing Immortal Stairs?”

The others looked at them.

“You might not know this, but there are many places in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm that you can’t cross. Even a single step will cost you your life. It still remains a mystery today.”

“As such, in the ancient times, a Nine Heavens Supreme invented the Dao-Crossing Immortal Stairs specifically used to travel across these places, but the price to refine them was extremely huge.”

“Among the Supreme Daoism factions and the Primordial Tribes, only a few managed to build them.”

“After all, it’s not useful most of the time,” Yuanji explained.

“So you’re saying that there’s somewhere we can’t cross up there, so they built the Dao-Crossing Immortal Stairs to allow people to cross to the other side?” Qin Nan asked.

“That’s more or less it…”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor suddenly realized something. His face was filled with excitement, “Holy crap! That means we haven’t reached the end of the ancient ruins yet. Perhaps the stairs will lead us to the deepest part of the ancient ruins.”

There were already hundreds of Dao Weapons in the outer part of the ancient ruins!

There were also two Immortal Blessing resources in the valley!

What could they possibly find at the end of the ancient ruins?

Besides, they heard an astonishing demon roar when they first entered the Glaze Ancient Palace. It was very likely that there was some kind of treasure or succession for demon cultivators at the end of the ancient ruins!

“Oh my, this is really something else.”

Yuanji smacked his lips. His eyes were glittering.

He was so intrigued by what they would find at the end of the ancient ruins that he had completely forgotten about what he was here for.

Even Qin Nan was startled.

Now that he had acquired the two resources he came for, he no longer had to worry so much.

However, before the five could make their move, an icy aura lingered in every corner of the valley.

The atmosphere suddenly intensified.

Qin Nan, Yuanji, and the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor immediately placed their attention on the strange patterns with faint outlines across the ground when they suddenly sensed something.

Wisps of light burst out of them all of a sudden.

It was obvious that they had been awakened.

Even though they had yet to fully wake up, the eyes of Qin Nan and the others widened as they sensed an indescribable danger.

“Run!”

Meanwhile, in the ancient ruins…

“The Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans! Why would there be such a terrifying thing here?”

Immortal Emperor Jiangjue took a deep breath. He immediately gave up on the thought of entering the wooden door.

“This place is very strange. Even I have no clue why they would have the Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans,” Immortal Emperor Guqing shook her head.

“Senior Guqing, what exactly is the Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans?” Xiao Yiyu asked.

Was the forbidding formation really that terrifying?

“The Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans, strictly speaking, it consists of eleven forbidding formations—ten shamanic formations and one blood formation—which the patterns on the wooden frame correspond to.”

Immortal Emperor Guqing smiled and said, “Once they are activated, those with a higher cultivation would be impacted more. It’s capable of killing a Nine Heavens Supreme at its peak.”

She paused briefly and added, “The Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans have been here for a long time. It might not be as impressive, but it’s still deadly for us.”

The cultivators were astounded.

A formation that was able to kill a Nine Heavens Supreme at its peak!

How terrifying was this Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans?

“Guqing, what do you think we should do now?” Immortal Emperor Zhugang asked.

“We can retrieve the Dao Weapons from the palaces here first. That way, even if we triggered the Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans after entering the door, we should be able to overcome it with the Dao Weapons.”

Immortal Emperor Guqing said after a slight ponder, “We did not have to worry about Qin Nan and his crew. With the Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans protecting the place, they won’t be able to achieve much either, nor could they retrieve the loots.”

The Peerless Rulers nodded in agreement.

It was the best option they had according to the situation.

“What’s going to happen if Qin Nan and his crew triggered the Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans?” Xu Lai could not help but ask. For some reason, he kept feeling that there was something strange about Qin Nan after what happened at the Ten Thousand Layers Immortal Pagoda.

It felt as if anything normal had become abnormal when he was around.

Before Immortal Emperor Guqing could respond, Immortal Emperor Jiangjue snapped disdainfully, “Qin Nan is only a peak Earth Immortal. He would die as soon as he triggered one or two of the forbidden formations. He wouldn’t pose any threat to us.”

Xu Lai let out a relieved sigh.

“Fellow cultivators, let’s do it.”

Immortal Emperor Zhugang waved his hand. He did not want to waste any time further on Qin Nan.

“Sure!”

The Immortal Emperors spread out and went inside the palaces.

A series of explosions took place.

Even though the guards of the palaces were able to set up formations and activate traps, they were still too weak against the Peerless Rulers. They were destroyed in just a few seconds.

The Peerless Rulers were able to retrieve the Dao Weapons too.

“Elder Xu, which palace should we be attacking?” a disciple of the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda asked.

“Let me take a look…”

Xu Lai activated his eye technique and scanned the surroundings.

Meanwhile, he noticed a soft thud. He subconsciously looked toward it.

His eyes widened upon taking a glance at it.

One of the strange patterns on the wooden frame had broken into pieces!
