Chapter 1360 – The Ten Forbidden Arts
A hundred breaths later, following a whooshing noise, Qin Nan's figure descended from the sky.
"Break!"
Before Qin Nan landed on the ground, he sensed wisps of icy murderous intent approaching him from all directions. His figure flickered and lashed out with the Heaven-Shattering Saber.
BANG BANG BANG!
Following a series of explosions, the murderous intents were shattered.
"Mm? A Talisman Space?"
Qin Nan glanced at the surroundings and his eyes immediately flickered.
He could see talismans of different sizes and auras floating in the sky. There were countless numbers of them, like an ocean of talismans.
The strangest thing was that the talismans were not glowing. They were deathly still, as if they were mere decoration.
"It seems like some of those talismans attacked me just then. It would be terrifying if all the talismans were turned into attacks.
"It feels like the later spaces are more dangerous than the ones before."
Qin Nan murmured. His Divine Sense swept the Sky-Severing Dragon Claws in his Sumeru Ring to check if they were showing any reaction.
After all, having sixty-nine Sky-Severing Dragon Claws had made him a very attractive target. He would not want to be hunted by a group of experts when he had just arrived in the Talisman Space.
"Looks like I'm safe for now. I should find a concealed place to recover from the injuries."
Qin Nan made up his mind and flew into the distance. Not long after, he found himself in a deep cave and sat on the ground.
Time gradually passed…
Sometime later, Qin Nan's eyes slowly opened.
He was eight-tenths of the way to fully recovering from the injuries.
As for the rest of the injuries, the life force in the pendant alone would not make any difference. It would take time for them to heal up.
"I shall continue to look for the Sky-Severing Dragon Claws…"
Qin Nan rose to his feet. Before he took a step forward, an unexpected change took place.
Thud thud thud!
The Monarch Heart that had remained silent for some time suddenly pounded heavily, like countless beasts were stomping on it. His wisps of Destruction Will and the will of the Divine God of Battle were subconsciously unleashed, which filled the cave within a few breaths.
"Little Worm is coming?"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered.
"Ten Forbidden Arts: Secret Art of Illusionary Dragon!"
An imperious voice appeared inside the cave out of nowhere, followed by a series of mysterious runes that drew a three zhang tall portal in the air. Two figures slowly stepped out from the portal.
They turned out to be Sima Kong and the Spirit of the Dragon God, Little Worm.
However, Little Worm looked rather blurry, as if he had suffered a great injury.
"Qin Nan, you should never leave this fatty with me. I gave him so many benefits, yet he still insisted on coming with me. It almost cost me my life…"
Little Worm clenched his teeth and snapped when he saw Qin Nan.
At this rate, he was really going to turn into a little worm.
"Hehe, Master Ao Que, calm down, think about it, you're a Dragon God, a small matter like this is nothing significant to you."
Sima Kong chuckled instead of feeling ashamed of himself.
"Mm, Sima Kong, what happened to your left arm?"
Qin Nan ignored their quarrel. His eyes were fixed onto Sima Kong's left arm.
Sima Kong's left arm was wrapped in layers of white cloth, which were drawn with ancient patterns that emitted an obscure aura, like some terrifying seal.
Even with Qin Nan's left eye of the Divine God of Battle, he was unable to peek through it.
"Qin Nan, I bet you've never seen anything like that, it's a secret art that I invented. I've sealed his left arm with a Monarch Art, allowing it to accumulate power.
"The longer the power is accumulated, the stronger the Monarch Art is."
Little Worm wore a proud look.
"Which means that you're channeling the Monarch Art, and will use it when the time comes?"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment.
By using this method, the longer Sima Kong held onto the method, the more the attack would reach an unimaginable state.
"That's right, in order for this guy to improve further, his only hope is to take part in the God Horoscope Contest. However, with his strength, joining it is the same as signing up with a death wish, but he now has a glimpse of hope with this move."
Little Worm said.
"I see."
Qin Nan nodded.
According to the rules of the Monarch Ranking and God Ranking, as long as Sima Kong was able to secure a God Horoscope, even with a cultivation of the Martial Progenitor Realm, he would still be able to achieve the Martial God Realm.
Similarly, Princess Miao Miao's cultivation was still at the Martial Progenitor Realm. It was likely that the people of the Lost Herb Garden had already prepared her to take part in the God Horoscope Contest.
"Mm?"
Suddenly, Qin Nan and Little Worm were startled, who both raised their heads glancing into the sky.
At that instant, they both felt a pair of eyes watching them.
"Humph, it's true that my power has weakened, yet do you think I'll let you watch us like that?"
Little Worm's expression became stern instantly. Wisps of ancient Dragon Qi burst out from his body in the form of a purple glow, which erased the presence in the sky.
The sense of being watched vanished too.
"Little Worm, you're the soul of the Dragon God, can you capture or conceal the presence of this Sky-Severing Dragon Claw?"
Upon seeing this, Qin Nan took out a Sky-Severing Dragon Claw as a thought crossed his mind.
If Little Worm was able to do them, the journey ahead would be much more convenient.
"Sky-Severing Dragon Claw? What's this for?"
Little Worm asked curiously.
"In the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain…"
Qin Nan immediately explained the rules.
"Damn, having three hundred and thirty of these will make you the successor of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain?"
Sima Kong held his breath. Something dark inside his heart became restless.
The Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain had been sealed for thousands of years. If he became the successor, didn't that mean he could simply take away all the treasure?
"HAHAHA, did the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain actually set up these rules?
"Qin Nan, the Sky-Severing Dragon is a unique race. I won't be able to conceal its presence, but…"
Little Worm changed his tone, his face filled with excitement.
"I have a way to let you see the Sky-Severing Dragon Claws in this space and in any other space. On top of that…
"I can help you to retrieve the Sky-Severing Dragon Claws without waiting for the space to change or going to other spaces!"
Little Worm said with a heavy tone.
"What?"
Qin Nan's eyes were filled with astonishment upon hearing these words.
