Peerless Battle Spirit - Chapter 1633
Chapter 1633 – White-Robed Long Chan
The branches that looked like giant snakes spread outward as if they had come alive, while the leaves covered in immortal runes danced wildly.
Rays of immortal lights, formidable and over ten thousand zhang long, burst out of the trunks and entered the clouds by penetrating through the colorful river.
The whole mountain was shrouded by the light.
“Mm?”
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered.
The reaction of the three extraordinary successions had only attracted the attention of a few cultivators, but the brilliant glow emitted by the Trees of Immortal Transformation was most likely going to attract the attention of most cultivators in the Land of Immortal Death.
The cultivators would be making their way here in no time.
“Senior Demon Emperor, are you thinking of taking me out with the help of other cultivators?”
Qin Nan glanced at the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor. The Heaven-Shattering Saber in his hand buzzed vigorously.
“F**k me! I know you have a formidable background, but that doesn’t mean you can slander me like that, how could I possibly know that the Trees of Immortal Transformation would suddenly misbehave like this?”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, he cried out as if he was complaining about the injustice.
He was not lying to Qin Nan. He was only waiting for Qin Nan’s strength to weaken, allowing him to escape.
After all, Qin Nan’s identity was simply too shocking, and he was also wearing Empress Feiyue’s red string. If he set Qin Nan up and ended up killing him, he would be in great trouble too even if he made it out alive.
“Forget it.”
Qin Nan did not say further after pondering for a moment. He unleashed his god force, which transformed into thirteen giant hands grabbing at the Trees of Immortal Transformation.
At this rate, he could only refine the Trees of Immortal Transformation before the other cultivators arrived.
Buzz!
To his surprise, the thirteen Trees of Immortal Transformation started to tremble all of a sudden.
Three-tenths of their branches swiftly turned pitch-black with an overwhelming evil intent, as if they had turned into Serpents of the Underworld.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The pitch-black branches lunged at Qin Nan fiercely.
On top of it, the colorful river turned restless too, as knights in armor riding on savage beasts over fifty zhang tall appeared and charged at Qin Nan.
Both the branches and the knights possessed outstanding strength, which was equivalent to Peerless Geniuses at the same level as Qin Nan.
“Qin Nan, I did remind you about the danger, do you really think something as precious as the Trees of Immortal Transformation is so easily acquirable?”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor said while dodging the attacks.
“Unstoppable Step, Sky-Desolating Saber Art!”
Qin Nan’s figure immediately turned into several shadows weaving through the branches and the knights as he fired streams of saber intents.
In the meantime, he also glanced at the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor several times, and was left speechless.
If it wasn’t for the copper mirror, he would never believe that the man was actually a Peerless Ruler if he was to judge based on his interaction with him along the journey.
How was the man so timid even though he was once a Peerless Ruler?
Meanwhile, several places across the Land of Immortal Death…
“Such a marvelous immortal glow!”
“Something extraordinary must have shown up there!”
“Another extraordinary succession, this is our chance!”
“The immortal glow this time is different than that emitted by the seven giant mountains. It’s unlikely to be a trap again!”
The cultivators that were competing for the natural herbs, manuals of Martial Arts, and loot inside caves were surprised by the rare phenomenon ahead of them.
They immediately went into the distance without hesitation.
“An immortal glow that is over ten thousand zhang long, and the three successions are slowly appearing too. This place isn’t anything like those that I’ve visited.”
Inside an ancient palace, Gu Zhenyi who was bathed in a hundred glows of different colors said with glittering eyes, “It seems like my chance has arrived!”
On the top of a giant mountain, Long Chan who was wearing a white robe and was enveloped by a Bodhi glow, with a fairly calm aura, slowly opened his eyes.
“Amitabha, the two mysterious cultivators in white robes must be making their way there. I shall meet them in person.”
Long Chan murmured, “Even though the followers of Buddha are meant to practice compassion, but there’s the terrifying warrior attendant of Buddha too. I will not forgive those who stole my succession, and my chance to ascend as an immortal.”
Apart from the two Peerless Geniuses, Xu Xianzhi, the two mysterious cultivators in white robes, and a cultivator wearing a blue-copper mask that only came to the Land of Immortal Death slightly later than the others were fixing their eyes on the immortal rays.
Without being exaggerating, the immortal rays and the three successions had attracted the attention of almost seven-tenths of the cultivators in the Land of Immortal Death.
Time gradually passed, a hundred breaths later…
At the place where the immortal rays were located, Qin Nan was moving back and forth at the speed of lightning. The Heaven-Shattering Saber in his hand lashed out rapidly, shattering the knights and sending them back into the void.
After some time, he realized that if the knights remained alive, the branches would keep on regenerating regardless of the damage he dealt to them.
He only had a chance of overcoming the situation by defeating the knights first.
“Oh my, these cultivators are insane, someone has already made it to the field,” the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor exclaimed.
As a safety precaution, he had left countless seals along the way, allowing him to observe the situation clearly.
Qin Nan did not seem to hear him. He continued to destroy the knights with overwhelming strength.
Time gradually passed, another hundred breaths had passed fairly quickly.
Qin Nan was still killing the knights, and there were not many left.
However, at the mountain waist, a young man with the word ‘joy’ imprinted on his forehead, with a jade band around his waist, stood still on a rock like a statue with his aura concealed.
His eyes had wisps of orange glows like a flowing river.
His name was Han Tianxiao, the fourth-rank inner disciple of the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect. He had achieved the peak Heaven God Realm, mastered three of the Four Extremities, and possessed an innate Immortal Root.
He had been here for more than twenty breaths.
“Such an outstanding power, even though the immortal glow is preventing me from taking a closer look, it was very likely that the person is a Peerless Genius.”
Han Tianxiao was startled.
Normally, he would have fled for his life as he would not dare to take the risk. However, he had caught a glimpse of the thirteen Trees of Immortal Transformation that were glowing brilliantly.
Those were the Trees of Immortal Transformation!
As the inner disciple of the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect, he clearly knew what the trees were. Even a single tree was enough for him to ascend as an immortal, let alone thirteen of them.
As such, he decided to stay, as a plan started to form in his mind.
Even if it meant going against a Peerless Genius, he had to secure a Tree of Immortal Transformation in order to ascend as an immortal.
“Someone has finally arrived!”
Han Tianxiao was overjoyed as he sensed something. He immediately turned his head around.
Five cultivators in immortal robes with outstanding auras had arrived at the foothill, like five godly swords tearing the rift apart.
The five cultivators were all peak Heaven Gods, and had come from a faction led by a Peerless Ruler!
“Fellow cultivators, please stay, I sincerely ask you to take a look at the top of the mountain with your eye-techniques…”
Han Tianxiao quickly showed up and transmitted his thoughts, “If we wait here and recruit more cultivators, we’ll surely be able to…”
His plan was very simple. He would team up with a group of cultivators and ambushed the Peerless Genius before he could refine the Trees of Immortal Transformation.
With enough cultivators, the Peerless Genius was surely no match against them no matter how strong he was.
Time gradually passed.
More cultivators had arrived from different directions.
However, most cultivators that had experienced the danger on the seven mountains did not dare to step into the immortal light. They chose to make their way to the three successions instead.
Despite that, there were still quite a lot of cultivators on the mountain where the immortal rays were.
Most of them stumbled into Han Tianxiao before they could proceed any further, and were convinced to team up with him.
Currently, Han Tianxiao had gathered forty-seven cultivators on his side.
Among them were eighteen peak Heaven Gods, seventeen Heaven Gods, and the rest were above the eighth-layer Heaven God Realm. It was quite an intimidating formation.
“Brother Han, when are we going to make our move?” An impatient cultivator asked.
“That’s right, if we wait any further, that man is going to take out all the branches,” another cultivator said.
“Be patient, it’s important to know that a Peerless Genius isn’t going to be an easy target. We have to wait for the perfect timing.”
Han Tianxiao rolled his eyes and continued to observe the Peerless Genius.
Meanwhile, Qin Nan who was fighting against the branches in the colorful river shuddered. He immediately moved a few steps back.
The branches suddenly unleashed a tremendous aura, with layers of immortal glows encapsulating them.
If they were like peerless swords a moment ago, they had all transformed into giant, immortal swords instead.
As time went by, the branches had grown even stronger.
“Sky-Stride Blow!”
Qin Nan groaned as he attacked once again.
Han Tianxiao who was standing at the waist of the mountain blurted out in joy, “Cultivators, it’s time for us to make our move. Our chance of ascending as an immortal solely depends on this!”
He was the first to unleash his aura and charge toward the top of the mountain.
“Kill!”
The other cultivators immediately unleashed their auras and followed behind Han Tianxiao like a godly tide.
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor who was admiring Qin Nan’s strength shuddered. He immediately scowled and snapped, “Damn it, a bunch of Heaven Gods dares to charge at me?”
Despite that, he was slowly withdrawing from the scene.
He was immersed in great joy.
Oh Qin Nan, even if you manage to overcome the danger, you’ll surely suffer serious injuries, right?
“They are pretty good at striking at the right time. However, let’s see if they really have the courage to do so.”
Qin Nan was long waiting for it. His lips curled upward as he slashed forward with the Heaven-Shattering Saber.
