“Withdraw!”
Qin Nan halted his movement. With a thought, the nine Martial Trees suppressing s.h.i.+ Qingfan and the others floated upward!
“Spread out and attack Qin Nan from five directions...”
Dao Qianzhong let out a roar.
However, as soon as he finished his sentence, a powerful force surged in his direction, causing his eyes to widen. He turned around and immediately saw nine Martial Trees gathering together as if they had merged into a giant tree, colliding with his chest!
AH!
A cry of agony echoed through the dojo!
Even with the five ancient sabers s.h.i.+elding in front of his chest, he was instantly sent flying while he suffered a severe injury!
s.h.i.+ Qingfan and the others were shocked, who immediately backed off!
“Trying to flee? Not today!”
Qin Nan waved his hand.
The nine Martial Trees struck once again, knocking the Heaven-Yin Daoist, Yang Qi, and the Faceless Cultivator flying while inflicting serious damage to them!
If the five were to work together, they could still hold their ground despite being injured. However, when the nine Martial Trees were focusing on a single one of them, they would be overwhelmed without a doubt!
Qin Nan decided to suppress them at the same time instead of defeating them one by one because they posed the greatest threat to him among the geniuses. If he allowed them to join the battle, he would have a hard time trying to deal with them!
“Heartless Sword!
s.h.i.+ Qingfan let out a roar as an illusionary sword appeared in his hand which he thrust forward aiming at Qin Nan’s chest.
The Heartless Sword was invisible, but it was able to penetrate through anything in the world.
“The Heartless Sword? Is that the move that you mastered by killing Yu Qingtong? Very well!”
Qin Nan’s eyes turned cold as the nine Martial Trees struck again.
“HAHA, Qin Nan, my Heartless Sword can almost surpa.s.s the rules of cultivation. Nothing in the world would be able to stop me… AH!”
s.h.i.+ Qingfan burst out laughing, but it soon turned into a cry of agony halfway through!
The reason being that the nine Martial Trees had shattered his Heartless Sword and collided with his chest!
s.h.i.+ Qingfan had completely forgotten that Qin Nan’s nine Martial Trees had actually surpa.s.sed the rules of cultivation!
At that instant, among the geniuses that partic.i.p.ated in the battle, half of them had been killed while the other half were left with serious injuries, as they groaned in pain while lying on the ground!
“Oh my, we’ve won! We’ve won! I’d already predicted this from the beginning! Come, Xuan Yue, Mu Mu, let’s move out! It’s time to take all of their storage bags! s.h.i.+t, Qin Nan, what the h.e.l.l have you done? Why were you so violent? You’ve destroyed all their storage bags...” Sima Kong was shocked before he burst out scolding.
Ao Cangtian, Jiu Jiu, and the others could feel their lips twitching, but their hearts were overjoyed!
They’d won!
Which meant...
Qin Nan would be able to claim the Monarch Horoscopes to obtain the flesh of nine Martial Monarchs!
“Qin Nan! I’m telling you! If you dare to refine the flesh of nine Martial Monarchs! You will suffer the extreme wrath of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground and the South-Heaven Gate! Even Martial G.o.ds would be sent to hunt you down! It’s not too late for you to concede and submit yourself to the South-Heaven Gate!” The South-Heaven Spirit Envoy was furious and panicked upon seeing this, who instantly snapped.
“Is that so? I’ll be waiting!”
Qin Nan headed towards the altar without turning his head. The nine Martial Trees proceeded to occupy the vacant altars!
The Destruction Martial Tree led the way, followed by the eight Divine Battle Trees!
Each altar consisted of a Monarch Horoscope and a Martial Tree!
At that instant, the geniuses who were seriously injured, Ao Cangtian and his crew, and the South-Heaven Spirit Envoy, Tang Qingshan, and Jiang Bilan were stunned as their eyes were fixated onto Qin Nan’s figure!
It was as if the mysterious dojo was aware of the situation taking place as well, as some mysterious chants could be heard coming from deep inside the s.p.a.ce as if the deities were also placing their attention on Qin Nan!
Qin Nan’s figure floated in the air as he glanced at the nine Monarch Horoscopes. With a thought, the nine Martial Trees began to emit the will of Monarch Arts, causing the Monarch Horoscopes apart from the one that Qin Nan had claimed before to emit a blinding glow!
A terrifying monarch aura surged toward the surroundings, resulting in a powerful gust of wind!
The eight Monarch Horoscopes were awakened!
“How bold!”
“Imbecile! Fool!”
“Every Monarch Horoscope could only be claimed by one person in the past!”
“You’ve broken the rules. You will suffer the consequences!”
To everyone’s surprise, the Monarch Horoscopes let out furious voices as they were awakened, summoning the Tribulations of Wind and Fire which were planning to shatter the eight Martial Trees!
Tang Qingshan, Jiang Bilan, Ao Cangtian, and the others were startled!
Even the eyes of the geniuses who were panting heavily on the ground flickered, as it seemed like they still had a chance!
“HAHAHA! Qin Nan! You’re too full of yourself! The Monarch Horoscope is born by the Primary Force of the world, thus they would have to follow the rules, and you’re trying to claim nine of them at once! You’ve made a grave mistake, not only will you fail to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, you will die too!”
The South-Heaven Spirit Envoy was overjoyed seeing this!
It did not expect that apart from the first Monarch Horoscope, the remaining eight were so reluctant to be claimed by Qin Nan!
In other words, Qin Nan was already screwed without him doing anything!
However, Qin Nan remained calm as his eyes were staring at the eight Monarch Horoscopes!
Even he did not expect the eight Monarch Horoscopes would strongly resist him, but if he were planning to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, he was left with no choice!
“The rules?
“That’s right, I’m not obeying the rules!
“However, the truth is that a Monarch Horoscope would only belong to a Martial Tree!
“No one in the past had nine Martial Trees, but I do now!”
Qin Nan’s eyes glistened as he yelled, “I don’t know if you Monarch Horoscopes have your own consciousness! However, didn’t the Monarch Horoscopes exist to merge with the geniuses and help them achieve the Martial Monarch Realm? Today, if you are willing to merge with my Martial Trees, you’ll be helping me to refine the flesh of nine Martial Monarchs which no one has ever done before. Isn’t that something you would want?”
The final few words served as a stick to their heads!
ROAR!
The Divine Battle Spirit floating behind Qin Nan let out a roar out of nowhere. Its aura immediately shattered the Tribulations of Wind and Fire in the air!
It was the Divine Battle Spirit communicating with the eight Monarch Horoscopes!
The eight Monarch Horoscopes in the air began to tremble vigorously!
Following this!
The auras of the Monarch Horoscopes calmed down as they spoke simultaneously!
“The destiny of Monarch Horoscopes is to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm! Today, us nine are willing to help you to break the rules! However, you have to remember your promise. You will achieve a Martial Monarch Realm that no one has ever achieved before!”
The roars of the eight Monarch Horoscopes penetrated the sky!
At that instant, the eight Monarch Horoscopes and the Monarch Horoscope that Qin Nan had claimed before turned into golden rays and merged with Qin Nan’s body under the astounded gazes of the crowd!
