Peerless Battle Spirit

“HAHA, fellow cultivators, just you wait and see. Once they get closer to the Soul-Devouring Storm, they wouldn’t dare to advance any further. They will soon return to the island,” the island master burst out laughing.

Many cultivators strongly agreed with him too.

Even though the island master was taking advantage of his position to demand ridiculous entry prices from the visitors, their lives were still more important to them!

Under the crowd’s gaze, the two figures rapidly approached the Soul-Devouring Storm.

“They are getting closer!”

Many cultivators fixed their eyes on the two figures.

Even a few Peerless Rulers were intrigued too.

“I’m done for…”

The middle-aged scholar felt the overwhelming force from the countless gray wind blades before him. His face turned pale as he began to tremble in fear.

He had only heard rumors about the storm in the past, but he finally knew how terrifying it actually was when he was close enough to it.

He could not last for more than thirty breaths before he was shredded into pieces inside the storm, let alone crossing it.

BANG!

A tremendous aura burst out of Qin Nan’s body and surged in all directions.

“Dragon of Dao-Melting Immortal Flames!”

The scorching white flames engulfed Qin Nan and the middle-aged scholar, turning them into a dragon lunging into the storm.

BANG BANG BANG!

A series of explosions took place.

However, despite the extraordinary force of the wind blades, they were swiftly burned into ashes by the flames still.

“He’s a…Peerless Ruler?”

The middle-aged scholar was astounded amid the flames.

“A Peerless Ruler in the Greater Success Stage?”

“That skinny scholar is actually an authority?”

In addition to them, the island master and a few other cultivators were in disbelief too.

Even though they were usually not the kind to judge a book by the cover, it was just that Qin Nan’s appearance and his presence were simply too weak. He looked far from an expert.

Besides, even though the island master whom the Mystical Ruins had appointed was allowed to set the entry price as he pleased, a Peerless Ruler in the Greater Success Stage could just ignore him. The island master would not dare to offend the Peerless Ruler even if he did not pay a single Immortal Stone.

“No wonder he dares to cross the Soul-Devouring Storm with force!”

Many cultivators exclaimed. They had seriously underestimated the skinny scholar.

“Humph, so what if he’s a Peerless Ruler in the Greater Success Stage? The Soul-Devouring Storm has killed many Peerless Rulers in the Greater Success Stage too!” the island master thought with a displeased look.

He was hoping that Qin Nan had overestimated his capabilities and underestimated the danger of the Soul-Devouring Storm, thus Qin Nan would just keep going forward recklessly. If he made it to the center of the storm, he would have no chance of escaping it.

BANG BANG BANG!

The terrifying Soul-Devouring Storm continued to surge forward. It soon devoured the island.

An ancient glow appeared above the island, shielding it from the fierce wind blades.

The cultivators on the island were perfectly unharmed apart from being placed under enormous pressure. They lifted their gaze and glanced ahead.

They had heard many stories about Peerless Rulers in the Greater Success Stage trying to cross the Soul-Devouring Storm with force, yet they had never witnessed it before. They would not want to miss out on the opportunity.

Besides, if they were lucky enough, they might be able to secure his belongings if he ended up falling in the storm.

“Battle Dao Immortal Manuscript! Sanqing Mystical Scriptures!”

Qin Nan executed two Arts of Dao Seeking simultaneously, unleashing countless wisps of saber intents to construct an enormous saber domain to nullify the wind blades.

However, as Qin Nan continued to move closer to the center of the storm, not only was the number of wind blades increasing, their strength was growing too.

The saber domain he unleashed collapsed in just two seconds. His Dao-Melting Immortal Flames began to dissipate too.

“The man is no ordinary Peerless Ruler in the Greater Success Stage, but the Soul-Devouring Wind is just too strong. He won’t bother going any further. He’s going to come back here instead of getting himself killed,” a Peerless Ruler on the island said.

The other cultivators nodded in agreement.

Even so, no one was mocking him.

Even if a Peerless Ruler in the Greater Success Stage decided to withdraw from the Soul-Devouring Storm, it was still enough to earn their respect.

The island master’s expression shifted continuously.

“Slash!”

Qin Nan’s right arm suddenly transformed into the Heaven-Shattering Saber. The immortal force in his body became restless as he unleashed a bright saber glow. It completely stood out in the gray storm.

Whoosh!

It forcibly tore an opening in front of Qin Nan.

Qin Nan stepped into the center of the storm without any hesitation.

“This…”

The cultivators on the island were startled. The Peerless Rulers could not believe their eyes.

Many Peerless Rulers in the Greater Success Stage ended up falling to the Soul-Devouring Storm not because they were being overly confident, but mainly because there was no island nearby for them to take shelter, hence they were left with no choice but to resist the storm!

However, that guy could have returned to the island, yet why did he choose to get himself killed instead?

“HAHAHA, how naive, I can’t wait to see how he’s going to die now!” the island master burst out laughing.

“The center of the storm is completely different from the outer layers. It’s not a bad thing for me, since the outer layers are providing me with cover. I can finally try out the strength of the Tree of Dao!”

Qin Nan’s hair drifted while he was surrounded by the destructive force. He knocked the middle-aged scholar unconscious with a hit.

“Tree of Dao, unleash!”

Following Qin Nan’s roar, a brilliant glow flickered behind him together with a towering tree emerging magnificently. It soared into the sky and shattered the rift within ten thousand li from him.

An indescribable power spread wildly.

BANG!

The sky underwent a shocking explosion as if it had just received a tremendous blow.

An astonishing sight took place following it.

The towering tree suppressed the power at the center of the storm. The wind blades did not dare to go any closer.

The cultivators on the island could only see a colorful glow standing firmly amid the storm. They had no idea what trick Qin Nan was using.

Even so, the sight alone made the Peerless Rulers rose to their feet and placed the island master and the rest of the cultivators in great astonishment.

“He’s…he’s fine?”
