Chapter 1024 – The Destruction Domain
The four boxes contained the Nightless Crystal, the Sky-Reaching G.o.dly Wood, the Eternal Darkness Flower, and the Five-Element Eight Trigrams Stone.
The Nightless Crystal contained the Nightless Art that the half-Martial G.o.d Nightless had invented himself. The ultimate technique of the Nightless Art could be obtained after refining the crystal. As for the Sky-Reaching G.o.dly Wood, etc., they were the essential items required to master the Nightless Art.
“I’ve learned quite a number of Monarch Arts now, and in terms of offense, the Art of Destruction will do just fine. Although this Nightless Art is quite powerful, it doesn’t really suit me.”
Qin Nan murmured as he let a drop of his blood to fall onto the Nightless Crystal.
At that instant, fragments of memory surged into his brain, forming a giant door.
Qin Nan was instantly immersed into it.
He had only planned to touch upon the foundation of the Nightless Art. After all, the Sky-Reaching G.o.dly Wood, the Eternal Darkness Flower and the Five-Element Eight Trigrams Stone were designed for the Nightless Art, thus he would need to learn it in order to absorb the power of the three items.
The process took him the whole day.
“Impressive, very impressive, if one were able to master this art, they could summon the darkness with a single wave, causing every living thing to be immersed within it!”
Qin Nan’s eyes sprang open as he subconsciously exclaimed.
Such a pity, even though the Nightless Art was powerful, it was not suitable for him.
“I shall practice the darkness seal first to activate the three items.”
The thought crossed his mind as he began to perform mystical gestures with his hands, which combined and separated at times. A while later, his hands began to emit a faint black glow.
He had learned the basics of the darkness seal!
“I shall refine the Sky-Reaching G.o.dly Wood first!”
Qin Nan reached out his hand and grabbed the Sky-Reaching G.o.dly Wood in his hand, causing a black glow to be immersed into it. Following this, the silent piece of wood unleashed a shocking force toward Qin Nan’s hands.
As the name suggested, the Sky-Reaching G.o.dly Wood contained the key to reaching the sky!
By reaching the sky, it meant comprehending the Heavens!
“The sky-reaching will merging with my body, absorbed by the nine Martial Trees!”
Qin Nan grunted as the nine Martial Trees in his body began to buzz, emitting a magical force that took the shape of a giant hand that absorbed the will.
This was Qin Nan’s plan, using the darkness seal as the key to trigger the Sky-Reaching G.o.dly Wood, in order to absorb its power with brute force.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The nine Martial Trees began to sway at the same time as if they were experiencing a powerful gust of wind. Each of their branches and leaves emitted a pulsating white glow.
Lately, as Qin Nan continued to merge the power of the items he had refined into the nine Martial Trees, their strength had somehow reached a limit, which would only require the final step to trigger a breakthrough!
“Now is the time, Eternal Darkness Flower!”
Qin Nan reached out his hand again to grab the Eternal Darkness Flower. He firmly extracted its will and merged it with the nine Martial Trees.
The entire Dao Origin Crystal was immersed in darkness.
“Divine Battle Trees, my personal Martial Tree, what are you waiting for, instead of having a breakthrough now?”
Qin Nan rose from the ground and uttered a thunderous roar like an emperor.
Eight Divine Battle Trees and one personal Martial Tree buzzed slightly, as if some hidden power had been awakened, summoning a tremendous absorption force to retrieve the power of the Sky-Reaching G.o.dly Wood and the Eternal Darkness Flower.
Buzz!
A terrifying aura swept the surroundings!
His personal Martial Tree grew to a height of six-zhang while emitting a strong will of destruction.
The remaining eight Divine Battle Trees had all reached a height of four-zhang, with a further improved battle intent.
Qin Nan’s personal strength had completely skyrocketed, reaching a whole new height!
“Dao Origin Crystal, lend me a hand to nurture the nine Martial Trees.” Qin Nan showed no sign of joy but immediately communicated with the Dao Origin Crystal.
The Dao Origin Crystal let out a pleasant noise as it directed streams of Dao Origin Qi into the nine Martial Trees.
The initially restless Martial Trees began to quiet down while expanding their branches.
“With the eight Divine Battle Trees reaching a height of four-zhang, it indicates that my strength has improved significantly. I should try my best to master the Art of Destruction as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would try to suppress my personal Martial Tree…”
Qin Nan murmured as his eyes were fixed on the Five-Element Eight Trigrams Stone.
The Five-Element Eight Trigrams Stone was different than the previous two objects. It contained more energy related to the five elements and the eight trigrams, thus allowing the person refining it to gain a better comprehension of the force of the Heavens and Earth.
Qin Nan fired a stream of the force of the darkness seal with a flick, breaking the seal of the Five-Element Eight Trigrams Stone.
“Heart Flame.”
Qin Nan spat out an illusionary flame, setting the stone on fire.
The Heart Flame originated from one’s heart, which was unable to do any damage, but was convenient to refine any rare treasure of the Heavens and Earth.
As the flame continued to burn, the ultimate power of the five elements and the eight trigrams was unleashed, filling the entire Dao Origin Crystal.
Qin Nan could feel himself basking in the presence of the Heavens and Earth, as if all his doubts could be solved with a slight ponder.
“Art of Destruction, the destruction of everything!
“Everything consists of all living things, followed by the laws!”
Qin Nan quickly thought.
Time gradually pa.s.sed. The news regarding Qin Nan’s recent achievement began to calm down in the other factions, as the geniuses had s.h.i.+fted their focus onto improving their strength. Therefore, their attention was attracted by the latest news of the shocking achievements of other cultivators.
On the tenth day of seclusion…
On this particular day, the sun had just risen, allowing its light to descend upon the place. A strange force was unleashed from the Dao Origin Crystal, which surprisingly absorbed the light onto a single dot on Qin Nan’s forehead.
Qin Nan’s figure shuddered as his eyes sprang open.
“The Art of Destruction, using my will of destruction to form my domain!”
Qin Nan let out a roar as a pitch-black glow on his body instantly swept into the surroundings, covering the area within one li in just the blink of an eye.
Within the area, the Dao Origin Crystal trembled vigorously, producing a great blast. The rift began to dissipate, as if it were melting due to the presence of a G.o.dly flame.
Qin Nan had finally achieved the final level of the Art of Destruction!
The will of destruction he possessed now was able to turn into his domain. Within this domain, any Monarch Art or object would be completely destroyed!
“Condense the will for the personal Martial Tree to achieve destruction!”
Qin Nan curled his finger, absorbing the black glow onto the tip of his finger before he flicked the acc.u.mulated energy into his personal Martial Tree.
The personal Martial Tree was instantly covered in great explosions.
Each of the branches and leaves began to change, from orange to golden, to blue, to red, etc., and finally becoming pitch-black.
A boundless destruction intent spread into the surroundings.
The eight Divine Battle Trees extended their branches and leaves while emitting a brilliant glow as if they were aware of something.
They were not challenging, but acknowledging!
“It’s done at last!”
Qin Nan was overjoyed, as his face was filled with excitement.
