Peerless Battle Spirit

Qin Nan and the others were astounded.

They realized they were in a space over a few hundred thousand li long; every inch of the place was covered in a kind of blue light. The blue light seemed solid; it was flowing like water, as if they were currently underwater.

In addition to it, Qin Nan and his crew also sensed a pure energy from the blue light.

The energy was slightly similar to the energy in the Land of Extraordinaries, but the will it contained was completely different.

“This must be a kind of pure energy produced by nature. It can strengthen the immortal force of cultivators or serve as a source of energy for other purposes too!”

“Which means, it’s the perfect place for anyone to improve their cultivation!”

Ling Lanlan was extremely excited.

Her cultivation was going to improve if she was to cultivate here!

“This is a nice place. The energy it contains is enough for a first-layer Heaven Immortal to reach the peak Heaven Immortal Realm,” Doom exclaimed with a hint of envy.

He desperately needed a place like this to recover his cultivation, yet he was unable to absorb the energy as he was currently trapped inside the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.

“HAHA, I’m in luck! You all are going to see me achieving the Heaven Immortal Realm!”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor’s eyes glittered. He quickly sat on the ground and performed a strange hand seal, unleashing an enormous absorbing force to draw the blue light into his body and strengthen his immortal force.

His cultivation was stuck at the peak Earth Immortal Realm for too long.

“Don’t celebrate too early, that beast is going to break free in another nine hours. We’ll have to leave before that. Otherwise, Xiu Shenliang might be torn into pieces.”

Yuanji was thinking of pouring a bucket of cold water onto the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, but the man did not seem to be bothered at all. Xiu Shenliang, on the other hand, was trembling in fear.

“Let’s absorb as much as we could,” Qin Nan said. He quickly sat on the ground.

To be precise, he was only half a step away from achieving the Heaven Immortal Realm. He had a great chance of breaking through to the Heaven Immortal Realm in a few hours.

Whoosh!

Despite Qin Nan’s calm mind, the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames in his dantian were burning vigorously as they were absorbing the blue light.

Everyone started cultivating on the spot.

The person absorbing the energy the quickest was not Qin Nan and the others, but Ling Lanlan. As a Dao Spirit, she had a great advantage at absorbing the energy. Her rate of absorbing the energy was three times quicker than the others.

Time gradually passed; an hour was gone fairly quickly.

Qin Nan suddenly frowned amid the process.

For some reason, the Nine-Colored Dao Glow in his body started showing a reaction. A Dao intent started flowing around him.

On top of it, the content of the Battle Dao Immortal Manuscript and the Scriptures of Sky Taihuang suddenly flowed across his mind.

Every word of the two Arts of Dao Seeking was enlarged as if it was enchanted by some unknown power, granting the two Arts of Dao Seeking some obscurity.

Following it, the other Arts of Dao Seeking started appearing like bamboo shoots blossoming after a rain. They each occupied some space inside his mind with their own obscurity.

“Is the Nine-Colored Dao Glow causing this?” Qin Nan murmured.

The progress from the Human Immortal Realm to the Earth Immortal Realm, then the Heaven Immortal Realm did not involve significant transformations. Only the cultivator’s immortal force was evolving, thus it was unlikely to cause any significant reactions.

However, Qin Nan knew that the change was clearly beneficial for him. It was like planting a Dao seed that would eventually grow into a towering tree.

“However, that also means I will need six times of the normal amount of immortal force to reach the Heaven Immortal Realm. It seems like I won’t be able to…hang on!”

Qin Nan shook his head, but he suddenly thought of the Divine Battle Spirit when he was about to give up.

Even though he still had not found out the Divine God of Battle’s real name and fully awakened the Divine Battle Spirit, nor did he know what other capabilities the Divine Battle Spirit possessed, but he did know two of its greatest abilities.

First, he could absorb all kinds of energy of the Heavens and Earth with the Divine Battle Spirit.

Second, the Divine Battle Spirit was protecting his soul, making his soul invulnerable to the attacks directed at it.

“Divine Battle Spirit, unleash!”

Having this thought, Qin Nan groaned. A brilliant, ancient, blue light soared into the sky from his back together with an overwhelming aura surging across the place.

The blue light across the place shook vigorously.

Even the pure energy was under great pressure from the Divine Battle Spirit’s aura!

“Who’s there…”

Doom, Yuanji, the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, Ling Lanlan, and the others were utterly dumbfounded. Their eyes sprang open simultaneously.

BANG BANG BANG!

Qin Nan let the Arts of Dao Seeking release their obscurity in his Divine Sense as he cultivated with full attention.

The Divine Battle Spirit that was still emerging immediately unleashed a terrifying force. The blue light started pouring into Qin Nan’s body like a great river to be refined by the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames.

His immortal force began to skyrocket!

The flames gradually grew stronger.

“As expected of the Divine Battle Spirit, at this rate, I’ll be able to achieve the Heaven Immortal Realm in three hours!”

Qin Nan was overjoyed. He soon calmed his thoughts to focus on the process.

“What…what…what on Earth!? Is that the spirit of the Firth Immortal!”

“The spirit of the Fifth Immortal! How terrifying!? Such an overwhelming presence, and it’s not fully awakened yet!”

Doom, Yuanji, and the others were in great shock.

The Ten Immortals were referring to the ten strongest cultivators in the Master Realm. The top four was even said to have exceeded the Master Realm, while the Fifth Immortal was the strongest in the Master Realm, the Strongest Master!

“Cheating! He’s cheating!”

However, Ling Lanlan was utterly clueless about the so-called Fifth Immortal. She only knew that Qin Nan’s attempt to absorb the energy was as fierce as a storm.

She was greatly impacted by it too. Her rate of absorbing the energy had dropped by half, like a huge beast gently drinking water by a river.

“Holy crap, this guy is just too shameless!”

“We’ll settle the debt with him some time later!”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, Yuanji, and the others clenched their teeth. They had no choice but to continue absorbing the energy.

Time gradually passed like the flow of water.

Two hours later, Qin Nan was fully covered in an immortal glow. The Dao-Melting Immortal Flames and the immortal force in his body had doubled; they had reached a threshold.

Once he broke through the threshold, he would become a Heaven Immortal!

Meanwhile, the bottom of the pit outside the ancient cities…

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Twenty-seven figures landed in the pit after a series of whooshes. Among them were a fourth-layer Heaven Immortal, three third-layer Heaven Immortals, two second-layer Heaven Immortals, while the rest were peak Earth Immortals.

“A Peerless Ruler?”

The twenty-seven cultivators gasped when they saw the Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound. They let out a relieved sigh when they discovered the beast was being suppressed.

“Did Qin Nan and the others go inside?”

The young man leading the cultivators observed the surroundings before setting his eyes on the glowing gate.

If Qin Nan and the others were here, they would know that the young man was none of than the core elder of the Emperors Ancient Island—Xiao Yiyu.

After receiving the Moon-Imprinting Water Crystal, he immediately led the cultivators of the Emperors Ancient Island here.

On top of it, he also notified many cultivators of the Emperors Ancient Island and came in advance.

He had to get his hands on the drop of demon blood at all costs!

“Elder Xiao, there’s no point rushing it, let’s ask this Peerless Ruler where they went.”

A Heaven Immortal old man said before bringing his fists together at the Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound, “Senior Beast Emperor, may I ask if you’ve seen these people? Can you tell us where they went?”

“Even though we won’t be able to break senior out of here, we can weaken the sacred mountain so senior could break free from it earlier.”

The old man took out the Moon-Imprinting Water Crystal after finishing the sentence. On it were the faces of Qin Nan and his crew.

The Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound held a strong grudge against humans. It did not want to waste its time on the cultivators, but its heart burned in anger when it saw Qin Nan and his crew from the crystal.

“I’ve seen them before, and I knew where they went too!” the Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound said while clenching its teeth.

“For real?”

Xiao Yiyu and his men were overjoyed.

“Why would I bother lying to you!?”

The Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound cast a cold glance at them and said, “I’m afraid they have reached the Tiny World of Profound Water by now. You will have to break something with force to open up a rift tunnel to the place!”

“However, why exactly are you looking for them? If you’re planning to kill them, I’m willing to lend you a hand. If not, you shall leave at once!”

Xiao Yiyu blurted out, “We are indeed planning to kill them.”

The Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound’s eyes flickered murderously, “If that’s the case, you will swear an Immortal Demon Oath first!”

After Xiao Yiyu and his men swore the oath, the Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound told them the way to find Qin Nan and his crew.

Normally, the Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound was unwilling to share the secret even if its life was being threatened. However, it was greatly humiliated after it was tricked by Qin Nan and his crew.

“Relay the information to the others, we’ll head inside at once!”

Xiao Yiyu gave the order before leading a group of people into the gate. They started searching around the place under the astounded gaze of some rogue cultivators. They located a boulder in a corner in the east, south, west, and north of the ancient city.

“Use everything you have to destroy the boulders!” Xiao Yiyu said.

According to the Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound, once they destroyed the boulders, the Bronze Wall of Words would collapse, revealing all eleven successions that it was concealing.
