Peerless Battle Spirit

Two hours later, Qin Nan and his crew saw the Utter Extermination Yellow River from the distance.

The river was ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-zhang wide, representing the extremity of the Great Dao. It even dyed the surrounding place yellow.

In addition to it, despite the distance between them, they could still hear the thunderous sound of the river. They could clearly sense an ancient, terrifying force surging within it. They could imagine how they would be crushed into pieces if they were caught in it.

Qin Nan and the others did not purposely move closer to observe it. They proceeded forward, and around half the period of an incense stick, the outlines of two ancient cities showed up within their vision.

A few hundred li opposite the ancient cities was a huge bridge over ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang wide that was made of some faint golden ore. It stood firmly above the Utter Extermination Yellow River as if it was obeying an order from the Heavens. It remained still despite the destructive force that the current of the river was applying to it.

The bridge was the Feiyue Immortal Bridge.

Qin Nan activated the Immortal Eyes of the Divine God of Battle and glanced at it. He withdrew his gaze and approached the two ancient cities. Everyone’s eyes soon glittered.

A huge battle was taking place around the two ancient cities and in their vicinity.

Two areas, in particular, had continuous flickers of immortal lights and deafening explosions. The cultivators in the battle were mostly between the Human Immortal Realm and the Heaven Immortal Realm, and each area had at least fifty people.

The other two battles were taking place deep in the sky, where terrifying forces were crashing into one another, shattering the rifts. Magnificent immortal lights were like stars hanging in the sky. Even though they did not participate in the battles, their overwhelming presence still stood out.

A few Peerless Rulers were fighting one another!

The Fourth Small Immortal Realm was called the Realm of Chaos after all. Apart from the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda and the Emperors Ancient Island, most places did not enforce any rules, thus the cultivators could start a fight whenever they wanted.

There were even some experts with weird tempers, where a single glance might make them feel uncomfortable and provoke them to kill unreasonably.

That being said, most of the people would settle their conflicts outside the cities, to avoid damaging the cities.

After all, everyone still needed a place to rest.

Qin Nan and his crew concealed their presence. The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor even covered Xiu Shenliang’s mouth. They quickly flew into one of the cities.

“The Exceptional Genius of the Nongyan Tribe, Zhu Yan, and the Exceptional Genius of the Wengu Tribe, Gu Xiaoyao are having a duel outside of the city!”

Holy crap, are you being serious!?”

“It’s rare to see a battle between Exceptional Geniuses. Let’s head over right now!”

“The battle between Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao, and the battle between the six Immortal Emperors, the bets are now open. Place your bets now!”

“The Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect is a reputable Supreme Daoism faction. We will guarantee the fairness of the bets with our name. There is no match-fixing!”

All kinds of voices immediately echoed in the ears of Qin Nan and his crew.

The street was bustling with activity. Human Immortals, Earth Immortals, and even Heaven Immortals were conversing with one another. Some were gossiping and whispering. Among them, the disciples of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect were standing out because of their outfits. They were vendors on both sides of the street too.

“These disciples of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect are everywhere. Shouldn’t they be cultivating instead?”

Qin Nan was left speechless when he saw the familiar outfit. His heart skipped a beat too.

He had just sensed some powerful auras from the city. They were strong enough to send chills down his spine.

Many strong cultivators had come to the city in advance, including Nine Heavens Supremes.

“Exceptional Geniuses? Peerless Rulers? This is insane!”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor’s eyes glittered. He rubbed his hand and looked at Qin Nan while saying with a smile, “Hehe, Qin Nan, should we go take a look? We might discover something useful!”

Qin Nan had no idea that the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was so addicted to betting. As a matter of fact, his name used to be extremely popular among the disciples of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect. They would immediately receive him with a great smile whenever they stumbled into and treat him like an honorable guest.

The reason was that the guy would almost lose every bet he placed. It was rare to see him win.

“Cultivator Eight Brilliance, this is a dangerous place. We might stumble into our enemy. We should stick together,” Yuanji said.

Qin Nan rolled his eyes and said, “Fine, you guys can go ahead, but remember to keep a low profile.”

They were completely clueless about the Supreme Heart Fruit’s whereabouts, thus the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor and the others could not do anything staying at his side.

As a matter of fact, he was quite intrigued by the battle between Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao himself, but unfortunately, he did not have time to spare.

“But what should I be doing now?”

Qin Nan fell into deep thoughts.

According to their speculation, the Supreme Heart Fruit was most likely claimed by a Peerless Ruler, or even a Nine Heavens Supreme that happened to pass by the place coincidentally.

If the mysterious cultivator did not mention anything about the Supreme Heart Fruit, it was unlikely that Qin Nan could find the Supreme Heart Fruit regardless of the efforts he put in.

“I shall visit places like the inn before searching the cities to see if I can find anything useful.”

“If not, I’ll have to ask the Nine Palace Golden Immortal.”

Qin Nan quickly made up his mind.

Even though Qin Nan believed the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect was not very impressive as a Supreme Daoism faction, he had to admit that apart from the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda and Emperors Ancient Island, the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect was most likely the most informed faction.

“Have you heard? Five Nine Heavens Supremes have come!”

“Tsk tsk, there’s already five of them now!? Doesn’t that mean more than ten of them are going to show up once the Six Unity Forbidden Land behaves abnormally!”

“Sigh, it’s such a pity, we can only roam around the outside with our cultivation. We won’t be able to venture deeper into it.”

Qin Nan observed the vendors with the Immortal Eyes of the Divine God of Battle while hearing the discussions.

“Isn’t that…Immortal Emperor Gullin?”

“F**k me, even Immortal Emperor Gulin is setting up a stall here?”

“What is there to be surprised about? These two cities have at least six Immortal Emperors setting up a stall on the street!”

An uproar took place on the street all of a sudden. Many cultivators immediately looked into a certain direction.

Qin Nan followed their gaze and saw a middle-aged man with scars resembling a cross on his face. He was emitting a fierce aura as he sat by the street. He was taking out various items and placing them on a piece of black cloth, before setting up a banner on the side.

After he was done, he picked up a purple wine gourd and swallowed mouthfuls of wine down. He could not care less about the attention he was getting.
