Chapter 1011 – The Battle Between the Geniuses
The pitch-black man added, “I’ll soon execute a skill to bring complete darkness to this place. Your eyes, senses, and Divine Sense will be greatly restricted. You won’t be able to see each other, the attacks, etc. It’s a battle in complete darkness.”
“During the battle, you’re not allowed to leave the dojo, not allowed to fly more than thirty zhang from the ground, and the battle will last for an hour. The one who defeats the highest number of people within an hour will be crowned the winner. Do you understand?”
The last three words were uttered with an ancient Monarch Art, which felt like a great clap of thunder to the crowd.
“A battle in total darkness? Sounds interesting!”
“The succession is mine!”
The crowd’s eyes flickered coldly as they collected their thoughts. They had been working together to reach here, and now, they had become each other’s enemies.
The succession of the half-Martial God Nightless and the box left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch. There was no way they would miss such a great opportunity!
“Humph, you three just execute your attacks randomly. I’ll suppress everyone with my cultivation! Don’t you worry, I’ll make sure to reward you once I acquire the succession!”
Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, and the other geniuses glanced at each other, especially the genius of the God Ranking, as he posed the greatest threat to them as soon as the battle erupted.
Only Qin Nan was left with a blank expression.
A battle in total darkness?
Their eyes, senses, and Divine Sense would be restricted?
Didn’t that mean the others wouldn’t be able to see his nine Martial Trees, Divine Battle Spirit, and Heaven-Shattering Saber?
“Nightless mentioned that he won’t be able to leave this place in the next ten years. Furthermore, the final piece of treasure left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch is here. These two must be related, thus I shouldn’t have any trouble using my full strength here!” Qin Nan’s lips slowly curled upward.
He could finally unleash his strength as he wished since the risk was eliminated!
“Nightless Art, the essence of darkness, causing all living things to tremble as the world is covered in eternal darkness!”
The pitch-black man suddenly let out a roar as he spread his hands, emitting a black glow. It rapidly spread to the surroundings, causing the giant dojo to be devoured by pitch-black darkness.
Pitch-black!
There was nothing but darkness around them.
It was nothing like the ordinary darkness they were accustomed to. It felt like there was an invisible force devouring them. Even their eye-techniques, Monarch Arts, etc. were unable to penetrate the darkness.
“Such a terrifying Nightless Art!”
“I can’t see with my eye-technique!”
The geniuses could not help but exclaim, but even their voices were devoured by the darkness, unable to hear each other, as if they were alone in an abyss.
A great terror and sense of loneliness slowly arose in their hearts.
Many people were instinctively afraid of the dark, not to mention the darkness that was able to seal everything off.
“The battle begins!” Surprisingly, the pitch-black man’s voice could be heard. As soon as he finished speaking, thirteen auras exploded on the dojo.
Everyone immediately backed away from their spot and executed their Monarch Arts aiming at the darkness ahead despite not having any target in their vision.
At this moment, they could only rely on their instincts and experiences.
Many of the geniuses were only able to sense the approaching attacks when they were only a few zhang away, causing them to defend themselves in panic. At times, they were falsely alerted, thus their efforts to protect themselves were in vain.
“Such a dangerous battle. However, I would like to see if this darkness is able to resist my left eye of the Divine God of Battle!”
Qin Nan took a deep breath as he executed the first form of the Divine God of Battle, Unrivalled Warrior, to maximize his battle intent.
Following this, his left eye emitted a brilliant purple glow.
“Mm? A grey cloud. Does that mean even my eye-technique is unable to see in the dark?”
Qin Nan glanced at his surroundings. He could not see any Monarch Art, let alone the figures of the geniuses.
“Again! I won’t believe it!”
Qin Nan uttered a grunt as he raised his left arm to defend himself from any possible attacks while gathering his focus.
He would be given a huge advantage If he were able to see the others and their attacks in the battle!
The left eye of the Divine God of Battle became slightly restless as if it were aware of Qin Nan’s will. Its purple glow was mixed with a faint gold.
“I can see it!”
Qin Nan was overjoyed when his vision became clearer.
Even though he could only see the blurry outlines of the geniuses and the Monarch Arts, it was enough for him under the circumstances!
…Meanwhile…
The three Martial Monarchs’ sons took out their talismans, artifacts, and executed powerful attacks into their surroundings. The genius of the God Ranking sprang into the sky and halted at a height of thirty zhang.
In addition to him, three other geniuses were flying into the sky too.
“The Nightless half-Martial God mentioned that the one who defeats the highest number of people is the winner. Therefore, the only choice is to use attacks that cover a great area while preventing ourselves from being damaged by the Monarch Arts…” Dao Qianzhong’s eyes flickered coldly as several ancient sabers rose into the air to circulate around him.
“Even though the place is now in total darkness, the geniuses can easily visualize the place in their mind to judge where their location is. Furthermore, they could also use the direction of the approaching Monarch Arts to determine where the enemies are. If that’s the case, I’ll need to keep changing my position…”
Hua Dichen murmured as he quickly thought. As he unleashed his Monarch Arts, he continued to move to a different place, preventing anyone from knowing his location.
It was important to utilize their wisdom in a battle like this!
Qin Nan moved rapidly with the Unstoppable Step, dodging the approaching Monarch Arts with ease.
At the same time, he could see the geniuses making their moves. Many of them had already unleashed their Martial Spirits and Martial Trees while not hesitating to use their artifacts and talismans.
The dojo had turned into a battlefield!
Qin Nan took a hold of the opportunity to dash forward, locking his gaze onto a figure, who was none other than Hua Dichen!
“It’s time for you to pay!”
Qin Nan let out a hollow laugh as his figure weaved through the Monarch Arts. He suddenly quickened his pace when he was around ten zhang away from Hua Dichen, lashing out with the Beast-Hitting Stick.
