Peerless Battle Spirit

The island master was startled.

He initially thought Qin Nan would teach him a lesson, but he merely asked such a simple question.

Qin Nan said when the man did not respond immediately, “Is that a no?”

The island master blurted out after collecting his thoughts, “It’s a yes of course! Senior, it must be your first time coming to the First Immortal Realm, right? I might not be familiar with the rest of the First Immortal Realm, but I know its boundary very well.”

“The boundary of the First Immortal Realm occupies a great space. It’s almost half the size of the other Immortal Realms with countless cities and forbidden lands. The formidable factions of other Immortal Realms have set up their bases here too, and many experts have moved here. It’s quite complicated.”

“The five factions that deserve the most attention are the Mystical Ruins, the Phoenix Blaze Path, the Immortality Cycle Sect, the Thousand Demon Sect, and the Luoyin Ancient Temple!”

“Each of these factions is reigned by a Nine Heavens Supreme. Their strength and resources might not be equal to the fourteen Supreme Daoism factions, but the difference was not huge.

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with astonishment.

He had long prepared mentally before coming to the First Immortal Realm, yet he did not expect the boundary of the First Immortal Realm was already this extraordinary.

“Tell me everything you know,” Qin Nan said.

It was a great chance for him to familiarize himself with the First Immortal Realm.

“Sure! The boundary of the First Immortal Realm isn’t really that significant…” the island master said honestly.

However, before he could finish, a rapid whoosh occurred, followed by a long spear around thirty zhang long and covered in black flames flying toward the island with a great force.

The cultivators were astounded. Their hearts were filled with a strong sense of danger.

The spear was extremely powerful. There was no way Heaven Immortals like them could resist it.

Qin Nan raised his brows and waved his hand. He unleashed a strong saber intent and shattered the long spear into pieces.

Following it, the cry of a beast came from ahead.

Ripples appeared from the rift as an ancient boat covered in blazing red lines while emitting wisps of Dao glows drove out of the gap.

Its tall, sturdy sail with the carving of a faint-golden phoenix was dazzling.

Qin Nan lifted his gaze. The ancient boat was a Dao Weapon that had a Weapon Spirit. It was extremely valuable. There were thirty-six cultivators on the boat. Most of them were in the seventh-layer or eighth-layer of the Heaven Immortal Realm.

Among the five cultivators standing at the bow of the ship, four of them were Peerless Rulers, and two among them had reached the Greater Success Stage of the Peerless Ruler Realm.

The last person was a young man, who despite only being a peak Earth Immortal Realm, was wearing an ancient armor that contained the will of a Nine Heavens Supreme, indicating his formidable background.

“Is that…Zhang Yuanrong of the Phoenix Blaze Path?”

The island master’s expression changed instantly.

The cultivators who had been to the First Immortal Realm, including the Peerless Rulers wore twisted looks too.

“Mm? Who is he?” Qin Nan asked.

“Senior, you might not know, but the Phoenix Blaze Path has always been on bad terms with the Mystical Ruins. Therefore, the disciples of the Phoenix Blaze Path will show up occasionally to rob and kill the islands here.”

“This Zhang Yuanrong was the third son of the Phoenix Blaze Path. Even though he was not that talented, thus the Patriarch of the Phoenix Blaze Path did not have high hopes in him, he still acted arrogantly by abusing his formidable background. He was infamous for being a bully at the boundary of the First Immortal Realm,” the island master said with a wry smile.

Nothing good was going to happen when stumbling into that detestable man.

Qin Nan glanced at the island master. Did he really just accuse someone else of abusing their power to bully others?

The ancient boat soon stopped above the island. The young man called Zhang Yuanrong glanced down at the cultivators. His lips curled upward as he spoke, “There are quite a lot of people here. Who’s the island master? Come here right now!”

The island master immediately flew up to the young man and forced a smile, “Young Master Zhang, I’m the island master…”

However, a Peerless Ruler in the Greater Success Stage beside Zhang Yuanrong immediately slapped the island master in the face mercilessly before he could finish.

PA!

The island master was knocked a few steps back. His right face was swollen.

“You…”

The island master’s eyes flickered with rage.

Either way, he was still a Peerless Ruler. He had his own pride in his bones.

“What about me? You’re not satisfied?”

Zhang Yuanrong was not bothered at all. He proceeded to wear a provoking look.

“No, that’s not the case, Young Master Zhang, you can tell us whatever you need,” the island master lowered his head.

If anyone was taking a closer look, they would notice blue veins surfacing on his forehead with a cold look in his eyes.

The Martial World had always obeyed the law of the jungle, and it was even so in the First Immortal Realm.

The reason was because the First Immortal Realm had the most experts. A Peerless Ruler might be able to dominate a scene in other Small Immortal Realms, but they could barely defend themselves here.

Besides, people like the island master and the Heaven Immortals had only come here to gather resources quicker and try their luck to alter their destiny.

Most of them would choose to compromise under such circumstances.

“Aren’t you a Peerless Ruler? Where is your integrity?”

Zhang Yuanrong seemed a little disappointed. He waved his hand and said, “Enough talk, the island master will hand over all the Immortal Stones, while the rest of you will hand over a single item.”

“Besides, since many of you are only here for the first time, I should remind you that if the item you offer doesn’t satisfy me, you shouldn’t blame me for not showing any mercy.”

The island master let out a sigh. Even though he had moved his savings to somewhere else, he still had to pay a huge amount of Immortal Stones.

The other cultivators sighed in their hearts too.

Some of them had a certain background too, yet they were not willing to offend the Phoenix Blaze Path at the boundary of the First Immortal Realm.

“Ugh, you were the guy that broke the Black Flame Spear, right? Your cultivation is pretty impressive. You must be a Peerless Ruler too! I shall start with you then.”

Zhang Yuanrong glanced at the crowd before locking his gaze on Qin Nan with a grin.

The guy dared to destroy his belonging. It was time to teach him some lessons!

However, the island master and the others were overjoyed after hearing the words. They were very excited too.

There were more than a hundred cultivators on the island, yet Zhang Yuanrong had to pick on the senior first…

“What if I don’t want to give you anything?” Qin Nan said expressionlessly.
