The battle grew even more intense.
As time gradually pa.s.sed, the atmosphere in the sky above the mountain range became extremely tense.
“One, two, three, four...”
Qin Nan’s left eye flickered with a purple glow observing the battle as he mumbled in his heart.
When only five hundred breaths were left, Qin Nan completely unleashed all of his battle intent as his figure turned into a beam of light that dashed toward the battle.
He had waited long enough!
Following this, he would gain control of the battle!
“Qin Nan?”
The Giant, the long-haired man, the three powerful cultivators, and the rest of the geniuses were startled when they saw Qin Nan move. They immediately directed their attacks toward him while competing for the Dragon-Shaped Golden Lock.
“Break!”
Qin Nan slashed forward and shattered the Monarch Arts.
His actions did not stop there, as he continued to lash out with a few slashes, producing over a hundred streams of saber intent within a single breath, causing the entire place to turn icy.
The cultivators were dumbfounded.
Following this, an even more shocking sight took place. The artifacts, Monarch Arts, talismans, etc. were instantly shattered and slashed in half after coming into contact with the saber intent!
“This...”
The Giant, the long-haired man, the three powerful cultivators, and the others were stunned.
They were aware that Qin Nan had a powerful saber, but they never thought its strength would be this overwhelming.
Whoos.h.!.+
As the saber intent created a clear path, Qin Nan immediately dashed forward and grabbed the golden lock.
Securing the golden lock was not difficult, as he would need to face the attacks of the enraged cultivators following it!
As he had expected, everyone swiftly reacted and executed their attacks, which came pouring down like a heavenly river.
“Destruction Domain, destroying everything of this world!”
Qin Nan let out a roar as his figure emitted a black glow.
BANG BANG BANG!
A series of explosions took place. Despite the outstanding strength of the Destruction Domain, it was overcome by the combined attacks of the cultivators. However, Qin Nan had long prepared for it. He raised his left arm and blocked the attacks while utilizing the force to fly backward with the Unstoppable Step.
“He’s running away!”
The Giant, the long-haired man, the three powerful cultivators, and the others shouted.
“Qin Nan, do you really think you can escape? Shadow Drawing!”
Miao Shan’s trio let out a hollow laugh as they joined the battle. The s.p.a.ce surrounding them became dark as an ancient drawing was unveiled, absorbing everything into it.
“G.o.d of Fire’s...Domain!”
The rift above Qin Nan exploded as Liu Wei stepped out from it. Behind his back stood a sea of flame that covered the area with a circ.u.mference of three li, which felt like an exploding volcano crus.h.i.+ng down upon Qin Nan’s figure.
This had been Liu Wei’s plan all along. He let the cultivators fight one another while he prepared the Fire G.o.d’s Domain to trap the one holding the Dragon-Shaped Golden Lock, allowing him to secure it with ease while holding off the others for a few hundred breaths’ time!
Meanwhile, the rest of the cultivators were already performing hand seals, causing the s.p.a.ce around them to be filled with terrifying ripples of energy.
They were unleas.h.i.+ng their powerful moves!
The real battle had just begun. They might have been preserving their energy at the beginning, but there was no way they would show any mercy when the time was running out!
“Xiao Hong!”
Qin Nan yelled without showing any hint of panic.
A few auras appeared from the mountain range.
Skeleton Xiao Hong led the way as eight other skeletons were in position behind her. Their figures began to emit a white mist, which was directed into Xiao Hong’s body, causing her aura to rise to the peak Martial Progenitor Realm.
“G.o.d’s Conquest!”
Skeleton Xiao Hong harrumphed coldly as she drew out a long icy black spear from a rift. Her kick produced a great gust of wind as she sprang into the sky. The tip of the spear was emitting a thunderous black sparkle as she charged in Liu Wei and Miao Shan’s direction.
The geniuses were astounded.
They never thought Qin Nan would have such a powerful helper.
Qin Nan let out a calm smile as he fired hundreds of streams of saber intent at his opponents before he flew high up into the sky.
The mantis hunts the cicada while the sparrow waits behind?
Qin Nan had never been the sparrow, as Skeleton Xiao Hong was actually the sparrow he had set up!
The cultivators wore twisted expressions. Miao Shan and Liu Wei had failed to stop Qin Nan. Since Qin Nan was already a distance away before they had joined the battle, he was even further away now. Furthermore, they would not be able to catch up to him anytime soon.
However, there were only less than two hundred breaths left to reaching the fifth hour!
Did that mean Qin Nan would be able to hold onto the Dragon-Shaped Golden Lock?
BANG!
An ancient tree in the mountain range exploded as a white-robed man leapt out from it. He drew out an ancient longsword from his Sumeru Ring and fired a shocking saber intent that took the form of a ferocious dragon, charging toward Qin Nan at a rapid pace!
“This...”
The crowd of cultivators was startled.
They were familiar who the white-robed man was, the twenty-eight ranked white-robed swordsman, Wu Chen!
They did not expect this Wu Chen was in the same situation as them and had been waiting in the mountain range all this time!
“HAHAHA, Wu Chen, the Dragon-Shaped Golden Lock is surely mine!”
An imperious laugh could be heard coming from the mountain range as a man’s figure slowly appeared from one of the rivers. He glanced toward the sky as his eyes emitted an eerie glow, which summoned two ancient illusionary figures that charged in Qin Nan’s direction.
“The twenty-ninth ranked, Devil-Eyed Waterman!”
Many cultivators inhaled deeply.
They were the actual sparrows.
However, Qin Nan suddenly halted his movement as he glanced at the approaching attacks without any sign of fear, but rather with a smile with excitement.
“You guys finally showed yourselves. I’ve been waiting for a long time!”
The swordsman Wu Chen and the Devil-Eyed Waterman were astounded.
He had been waiting?
Did that mean he already knew about their existence?
They soon collected their thoughts. Did it matter if Qin Nan knew that they were there all along? Their attacks were extremely powerful. There was no way he would be able to defend himself!
Even though only a hundred breaths’ time was left, Qin Nan had entirely lost his chance!
“Destroying ten thousand laws with the Martial Trees!”
“Get suppressed!”
Qin Nan uttered a loud roar. Under the crowd’s gaze, the Destruction Martial Tree and four Divine Battle Trees emerged from his back and sprang into the sky. Each Martial Tree trunk unleashed a shocking monarch aura aimed at the approaching attacks.
BANG!
Following a shocking explosion, despite the outstanding strength of the slash and the eye-technique, they were easily overwhelmed and shattered.
