Chapter 1416 – On the Edge
Meanwhile, a thousand li away from the Dragon Emperor Clan…
"Let's team up!"
The three peak Martial Monarchs said as they unleashed their monarch force executing a series of strong Monarch Arts.
The rest of the Martial Monarchs reacted swiftly after seeing this. They were encapsulated in a glow as they constructed a formation to unleash and execute their attacks.
Normally, they would not dare to fight Qin Nan even when they were extremely courageous. However, the situation was completely different now.
This time, they were the hunters.
"Destruction Dragons, Dance in the Nine Heavens!"
Qin Nan was clueless about the approaching danger. He unleashed several Destruction Dragons with a wave of his hand, tearing at the Monarch Arts directed at him. The dragons waved their tails and lunged at the crowd.
It was as if he had turned into a peerless emperor. Even if the sky was full of deities, it still could not block off his brilliance.
AH!
Within just two breaths, a series of cries took place. The Martial Progenitors and two of the second-layer Martial Monarchs suffered great blows. Their bodies crumbled and exploded into blood mist.
The battle had only just begun.
"His strength as the top Martial Monarch of all time is too terrifying!"
The hearts of the cultivators spectating the battle in the Mind-Linking Boulder trembled even when they were mentally prepared.
"Hold on!"
The three peak Martial Monarchs were stunned. They withheld the fear in their hearts and transmitted a message.
They clearly sensed Qin Nan's strength as they were right in the middle of the battle. It was a lot more terrifying than they had imagined. It felt like an enormous mountain crushing upon them, making them feel suffocated, without any courage to dare resist it.
"I shall kill you three first!"
Qin Nan's hair drifted to the wind as he dashed forward. The strong Monarch Arts seemed to have lost all of their power in front of him, as they were simply shattered into pieces by a single flick. The man was unstoppable.
"Crap!"
The three peak Martial Monarchs were startled. They immediately executed their trump cards without hesitation and flew into the distance at a shocking pace.
If they tried to stand their ground, they would die for sure!
"Trying to run away? Not on my…"
Wisps of crimson-golden flames erupted from Qin Nan's left eye. His eye-technique traveled across the rift and locked onto the three cultivators.
He was ready to unleash a peerless killing blow.
However, at the last moment, an unexpected change took place…
"Qin Nan!"
A thunderous roar came from deep within the rift and spread into the surroundings.
Following this, five brilliant godly glows appeared simultaneously, like five ancient golden tortoises rising into the air. The entire place was covered in the golden glow.
The five powerful figures stepped out from the light. They were none other than the five Martial God Realm experts who had rushed there from different places.
Two of them were from the South-Heaven Sacred Ground and Jade-Lake Sacred Ground, their names were Martial Gong Hongye and Martial God Xunjue. Their cultivations had reached the ninth-layer Martial God Realm and seventh-layer Martial God Realm respectively.
As for the other three, they had come from the Undead Tribe and the Dead Spirit Tribe, with the names Martial God Xueshou, Martial God Fenhun, and Martial God Cangyi. They were all second-layer Martial Gods.
"The five seniors are here!"
The Martial Monarchs and Martial Progenitors were overwhelmed by joy.
"Martial Gods?"
Qin Nan's attack came to a stop, with a 'stunned' expression.
"Die!"
The ninth-layer Martial God Realm Hongye did not hesitate. He raised his hand and unleashed a terrifying God Art. It seemed to have traveled across the boundless rift, aiming at Qin Nan.
The Dao in the surroundings immediately trembled. The entire rift seemed to be collapsing.
The attack was way too terrifying. Even Qin Nan as the top Martial Monarch of all time would be crushed instantly.
"Hongye, are you trying to kill Qin Nan in front of me?"
A cold voice appeared. The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the Martial Serendipity Pavilion appeared in the air. Their terrifying presence instantly surpassed that of the five Martial Gods.
The masters of the forbidden grounds were Martial God Realm experts too. However, they had long achieved the peak Martial God Realm. They had lots of immeasurable capabilities, thus ordinary Martial Gods were not comparable to them.
"Martial Serendipity Pavilion and Dao Origin have appeared!"
The cultivators held their breaths seeing this. Even the Yin and Yang Taoist wore a solemn expression.
When authorities of their level were involved, no one could predict the outcome of the battle until the end.
"Senior Martial Serendipity and Dao Origin, even though we are no match against you, no one can save Qin Nan today!"
The eyes of the five Martial Gods flickered as they took out an obscure talisman.
"Spirit of the South-Heaven, activate the talisman!"
"Spirit of the God Ranking…"
"Spirit of the Monarch Ranking…"
As the five talismans were set aflame, terrifying forces began to gather toward the place, forming an obscure, enormous gate, a red-haired old man, and a white-haired old man.
Since the hunt began, the South-Heaven Gate, God Ranking, and Monarch Ranking had given the Martial God Realm experts the talismans to keep the Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain at bay.
Once the talismans were activated, their strength would be able to descend upon the place despite the distance.
"Us two will manage the talismans. As for you three, just follow the plan!"
Martial God Hongye yelled before unleashing wisps of tremendous god force into the talismans together with Martial God Xunjue.
BANG!
The illusionary figures of the South-Heaven Gate, Monarch Ranking, and God Ranking moved simultaneously. The rules of cultivation under their control turned into astonishing killing blows swarming at Qin Nan.
"Qin Nan, show us what you're capable of as the top Martial Monarch of all time!"
Martial God Xueshou and the other two Martial Gods appeared a few dozen li away from Qin Nan with a flicker, firing a series of God Arts.
"Such terrifying power, the Martial God Realm experts are surely nothing the Martial Monarchs could be compared to!"
Qin Nan's eyes glittered as he sensed the overwhelming pressure. The Battle Blood that had fallen silent for quite some time began to boil.
He was even more excited than when he had been fighting over a hundred Martial Monarchs.
"Third form of the Divine God of Battle, the Sky-Stride Blow!"
At the last minute, Qin Nan made his move. With a flicker, he simply dodged the God Arts aimed at him and arrived before the three Martial Gods, slashing forward with the Heaven-Shattering Saber in his hand.
"Your Monarch Art is very impressive, yet it's nothing in the eyes of Martial Gods!"
Martial God Xueshou uttered a cold chuckle as he summoned a giant demonic hand grabbing at the rift. A strong pressure suppressed the Heaven-Shattering Saber and Qin Nan, stopping them from moving.
"Soul-Sealing Spike!"
Martial God Fenhun and Martial God Cangyi struck immediately. As they performed a hand seal, two ancient spikes with a serene appearance the size of a palm appeared, before firing at Qin Nan's shoulders.
Once the spikes landed, Qin Nan's cultivation would be sealed off temporarily, turning him into a commoner.
