Chapter 1457 - Empress Feiyue
After leaving the rift portal, Qin Nan and his crew swiftly flew into the Seven Luminaries Flying Sword.
"Did you get the dragon corpses?"
Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch and the others immediately walked up to them. They did not even ask how Qin Nan and his crew managed to get out safely.
"Mission accomplish."
Qin Nan smilingly took out the dragon corpses.
"Holy c.r.a.p, you took all the Martial G.o.d and Martial Monarch dragon corpses out?" The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch was greatly astonished, who proceeded to blurt out in excitement, "We can easily improve the strength of the Dragon-killing Dao-destructing Deity-eliminating Spear by eight hundred times!"
The young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion was thrilled too.
Once the Dragon-killing Dao-destructing Deity-eliminating Spear was eight hundred times stronger, if Qin Nan managed to achieve the Martial G.o.d Realm, he could surely shatter the South-Heaven Gate.
"Now is not the time for this!"
Little Worm felt his dragon teeth aching as he spoke, "Seven Luminaries, we have to leave at once. The empress" Tribulation of Three Lifetimes has appeared in advance!"
"What?"
The crowd was stunned.
Since the empress had yet to return to the Canglan Continent, the early appearance of the Tribulation of Three Lifetimes would surely be a great disaster for them.
"What exactly is this Tribulation of Three Lifetimes? I"ve fought her just then. Even though she was very powerful, I believe I won"t have any problem taking her on."
Qin Nan blurted out.
Longhu and the three Beast Monarchs were curious.
The people around them were the top experts of the Canglan Continent, yet they still felt troubled knowing that the Tribulation of Three Lifetimes had appeared. Was her strength on par with the South-Heaven Gate?
"Qin Nan, I"ll now tell you the battle that took place eight thousand years ago."
Little Worm took a deep breath. However, he remained silent for a few moments as he recalled the terrifying past.
"Say, aren"t you the Spirit of the Dragon G.o.d? Why the hesitation? You"ve got my hopes up..."
Longhu said in a displeased tone.
"I almost forgot about this little kid, a mere Martial Progenitor has no right to listen to it."
Little Worm snapped and waved his tail, knocking the blank-faced Longhu flying toward the Anti-Heaven Alliance.
"Eight thousand years ago, after I withdrew from the battle together with some other factions, Empress Feiyue activated the forbidden move of the Art of Three Lifetimes, the Immortal Art that helped her break free from the seals of the South-Heaven Gate and become the first person ever to ascend."
Little Worm said after calming his thoughts.
"Art of Three Lifetimes?"
Qin Nan was astounded.
How outstanding was the Immortal Art if it was able to break free from the South-Heaven Gate"s seal?
"The cycle of life never stops spinning. No matter how strong your cultivation is, you will eventually reach the end of your lifespan, resulting in your death, bringing you back to reincarnation." At that instant, the copper mirror suddenly emitted a glow as the empress" icy voice appeared.
"Senior Empress!"
Little Worm and the others immediately brought their fists together.
"As everyone knew, the rules of cultivation here in the Canglan Continent have been modified. Anyone who wishes to cultivate must rely on their Martial Spirits to absorb the Qi of the Heavens and Earth. They must inherit the Monarch Horoscopes and G.o.d Horoscopes to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm and Martial G.o.d Realm."
"I didn"t like the rules of Martial Spirits, so I invented the Art of Three Lifetimes, to acquire the cultivation of my past life, my present life, and my future life."
Empress Feiyue said coldly.
"What?"
Qin Nan"s eyes flickered with astonishment.
She acquired the cultivation of her past life, present life, and future life?
On top of that, she was the one that invented such a law-defying art?
"During the battle against the South-Heaven Gate, I summoned my past life using the Art of Three Lifetimes."
Empress Feiyue uttered the shocking words.
"You summoned your past life?"
Qin Nan was even more astounded.
Since it was Empress Feiyue"s past life, it must be someone who was already dead. However, she still managed to summon her past life with the Art of Three Lifetimes?
How insane is this Art of Three Lifetimes, to be able to twist the laws of nature and do such a thing!
"Because the art was so law-defying, it obstructed the ancient taboo. After I ascended, my past life completely lost her memory and consciousness. She swore an oath to return to the Canglan Continent one day, to destroy me."
The atmosphere inside the Seven Luminaries Flying Sword stiffened following the words.
"Which means..."
Qin Nan was startled.
The Martial Monarch who had mastered the Four Extremities was Empress Feiyue" past life.
"That thing is indeed my past life."
Empress Feiyue said coldly as if she could read Qin Nan"s mind, "However, she"s not just a Martial Monarch. Whatever your cultivation level will be her cultivation level. If you achieved the Martial G.o.d Realm, she will be a Martial G.o.d too."
"Same as my cultivation level? So what exactly is her real cultivation level?"
Qin Nan remembered the formidable Immortal Arts that the glamorous icy figure had executed. He was extremely curious about them.
"Beyond the Heaven Immortal Realm."
The five words caused Qin Nan"s heart to race.
Beyond the Heaven Immortal Realm!
Even in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, she would be considered a peerless ruler!
Empress Feiyue"s past life had reached such a terrifying level!
"As the saying goes, all tribulations have a way to resolve them. Same goes with the Tribulation of Three Lifetimes, it"s not unresolvable."
Empress Feiyue said, "After I summoned my past life and left the Canglan Continent, I"ve also left the Artifacts of Three Lifetimes behind, which are the copper mirror, golden seal and red string. The person who acquired them would be the one that can help me to overcome the Tribulation."
"I see."
Qin Nan found the answers to many of the questions in his mind.
It explained why Empress Feiyue who was already an imperious ruler in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm had given him so much help.
In this world, hatred and love did not simply occur, same went with good deeds.
"But, if your past life"s cultivation is the same as mine, it doesn"t sound hard to overcome the Tribulation?"
Qin Nan was still confused.
If that was all, why were the seniors acting like it was something a lot more terrifying?
"The Art of Three Lifetimes corresponds to my past life, present life, and future life. Even though I"ve only summoned my past life to help me, I"ve obstructed the forbidden taboo. Therefore, I have to face the Tribulation of Three Lifetimes."
Instead of saying it loud, Empress Feiyue transmitted her voice into Qin Nan"s mind, "In other words, apart from my past life, my present life and my future life will appear in the Canglan Continent too."
The others were clueless about further details. They thought the Tribulation of Three Lifetimes was terrifying because Empress Feiyue"s past life had already surpa.s.sed the Martial G.o.d Realm when she first showed up.
"Present life? Future life? All of them?"
Qin Nan was startled.
"Forgot to mention, they would surely come to the Canglan Continent with their true cultivation."
Empress Feiyue said with a stern voice, "My past life isn"t scary, but my present life and my future are going to be rather intimidating."
She was now a peerless ruler in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, how much higher could she reach in her present life?
On top of that, her future life would not be ordinary either. It would surely be even more terrifying!
