Chapter 1116 - The Monarch Horoscope Contest (One)
“Heaven-Shattering Saber?”
“Did Qin Nan actually find the Heaven-Shattering Saber?”
“Gasp, he discovered the treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch!”
A few astounded voices could be heard.
After all, the geniuses who had reached the third stage were quite knowledgeable, as they were no ordinary cultivators.
However, even the appearance of the Heaven-Shattering Saber did not grab too much attention, as the geniuses soon focused on their own battles instead.
Whoosh whoosh whoos.h.!.+
As Qin Nan proceeded forward, many geniuses’ eyes flickered coldly as they unleashed their Monarch Arts.
“Unstoppable Step!
“Destruction Domain!
“Slas.h.!.+”
Qin Nan moved at lightning speed dodging the attacks. The Destruction Domain was like an unmatched defense, destroying every Monarch Art that came into contact with it, leaving Qin Nan unharmed.
The Heaven-Shattering Saber in his hand continued to fire powerful saber intents toward the surrounding geniuses, shattering their artifacts, talismans, etc., knocking them a few steps backward.
In just a few breaths’ time, Qin Nan was able to clear a path for himself.
“How remarkable, it seems like everyone has entirely underestimated you! My sword has been a great admirer of your saber for a long time. I hope you won’t disappoint me.” A hoa.r.s.e voice appeared, who turned out to be the Faceless Cultivator who had been battling against a few cultivators before.
He turned around and took out an ancient sword from his Sumeru Ring. The sword had an appearance similar to ice, as it unleashed a strong icy aura, causing the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly, as snowflakes began to descend from the sky.
“The G.o.dly Ice Sword!”
“Is that the weapon that was so close to reaching the level of a G.o.d Weapon?”
Many of the geniuses were astounded.
The G.o.dly Ice Sword was also a weapon that existed in legends. They never thought they would see it with their eyes.
“Such a powerful sword!”
Qin Nan’s eyes glistened. However, the Heaven-Shattering Saber in his hand showed no reaction.
The G.o.dly Ice Sword in the Faceless Cultivator’s hand seemed to be aware of the Heaven-Shattering Saber’s reaction. It uttered a few dragon cries to show its anger.
Its presence had never been ignored even when facing real G.o.d Weapons!
“Sealing the Heavens with a Sword!”
The Faceless Cultivator’s voice also became cold as he was one with the sword. Since the sword was infuriated, so was he. Following this, he dashed forward at a shocking speed. The icy sword in his hand left a flickering trail behind him.
A formidable intent swept the surroundings like a storm, causing the cultivators nearby to back off immediately.
“Great timing!”
Qin Nan yelled as he slashed forward without using any ability or Monarch Art.
The icy intent and the storm were shattered.
Everything that the slash collided with was shattered.
BANG!
In just the blink of an eye, the sword and saber collided with one another, resulting in a shocking explosion. The repulsion force from it knocked both Qin Nan and the Faceless Cultivator backward.
“Very powerful indeed.”
Qin Nan’s hands trembled in excitement.
He had yet to have any chance to fight any of the top ten geniuses on the Monarch Ranking. Within just a short encounter, he was already aware of the Faceless Cultivator’s terrifying strength.
He would not stand a chance without unleas.h.i.+ng his Martial Tree.
That being said, Qin Nan had not used much of his strength. He was just answering the Faceless Cultivator’s demand, using the G.o.dly Ice Sword to probe the Heaven-Shattering Saber’s sharpness.
The others could not see the Faceless Cultivator’s expression due to his appearance, but many of them sensed that his grip on the G.o.dly Icy Sword had tightened.
Crack...
A tiny cracking sound occurred. Normally, such a soft noise would be insignificant due to the din of the battles nearby, but for some reason, many geniuses were able to hear it.
They were astounded when they quickly glanced in the direction of the sound.
A tiny crack had appeared on the sharp edge of the G.o.dly Ice Sword.
“As expected of the Heaven-Shattering Saber, but that alone won’t be enough for you in this Monarch Horoscope Contest.” The Faceless Cultivator hesitated for a moment before he spoke. He struck again with the G.o.dly Ice Sword, summoning flowers made of ice from the sky, as if he were constructing an icy world.
“We have to team up against Qin Nan!”
The relatively weaker geniuses exchanged glances with one another and communicated with their Divine Sense. They instantly unleashed their powerful Monarch Arts toward Qin Nan.
The number of attacks Qin Nan was facing increased significantly.
Many of the geniuses felt threatened after witnessing his strength or the power of the Heaven-Shattering Saber.
Although those who were powerful were able to intimidate the weak, it was possible that it would provoke the cultivators into teaming up as well!
For example, the famous geniuses including s.h.i.+ Qingfan, Sorceress Qian Qian, Sage Chen Zilai, Dao Qianzhong, Tang Qingshan, Ao Cangtian, and the others were currently fighting ten people or more at once, while keeping an eye out for the other geniuses so that they would not be ambushed!
However, the number of people teaming up against s.h.i.+ Qingfan, Sorceress Qian Qian, and Sage Chen Zilai became lesser gradually.
The reason being that when their strength had reached a certain point, even the cultivators would not dare to face them despite the fact that they were allowed to team up with one another.
If they were even stronger, no one would even dare to challenge them!
“Divine Battle Spirit, unleashed!”
Qin Nan did not back off facing the attacks. Five crimson rays were emitted from his back as the Divine Battle Spirit stood in the air, unleas.h.i.+ng its suppression.
The geniuses who were executing their attacks held their breaths.
The powers of their Martial Spirits were restricted?
To many of the geniuses, their Martial Spirits served as their greatest weapon, thus the fact that they were suppressed greatly weakened their strength!
“Martial Trees, unleashed!”
Qin Nan took a step forward as the Destruction Martial Tree and four Divine Battle Trees sprang into the sky, unleas.h.i.+ng powerful Monarch Art intents.
Qin Nan’s aura skyrocketed rapidly as if he were executing some forbidden technique.
“This...”
The Faceless Cultivator, the attacking geniuses, and the partic.i.p.ants of the Monarch Horoscope Contest experienced a great blast in their minds when they saw the five Martial Trees.
Five Martial Trees?
This Qin Nan had managed to surpa.s.s the rules of cultivation?
“Battle!”
Qin Nan uttered a thunderous roar as his blood began to boil.
At that instant, it was as if he had turned into a ferocious beast from the ancient era, stunning the entire crowd.
