Chapter 1680: The Dragon Dilemma

"So many successions and fortunate encounters!"

"There must be at least a few thousand of them!"

"Elder, what are wee waiting for? Let's get them quick!"

The cultivators swiftly reacted after collecting their thoughts from the astonishment. They immediately flew at the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron, resulting in a spectacular sight.

The unexpected changes were none of their concern. They only knew that any of the successions and the fortunate encounters might be able to help them ascend as an immortal.

"Wan Xiao, and the rest of you, time to push forward. Remember, don't try and fight the Peerless Geniuses, retreat if there's any danger."

Qin Nan immediately transmitted his thought. Wan Xiao acknowledged it and let out a loud roar before flying forward with his disciples.

A magnificent battle took place in just a few breaths' time.

The factions and the cultivators were initially battling against one another across the Carnage Sacred Ground, but they had all gathered toward the center now.

If it weren't for the different seals and outfits that each faction was wearing, it would be impossible to tell who the friendlies and the enemies were.

The Peerless Geniuses participated in the battle too.

Unlike the rest of the cultivators, they would put extra attention on the people that were the Patriarchs of other factions but were not Peerless Geniuses as they were competing for the successions and the fortunate encounters.

The Heaven-Repairing Cauldron had already shown up. Anyone with a hundred Patriarch Talismans and was able to hold onto them for an hour would be given the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.

Judging from the aura that the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron was emitting, its value was surely beyond that of a Dao Weapon. The benefits of obtaining it was not as simple as ascending as an immortal.

"Sky-Stride Blow!"

Qin Nan descended from the sky. He claimed a few successions and unleashed saber intents killing three Patriarchs of other factions and took their Patriarch Talismans too.

Lin Qingpo, Xiu Shenliang, Ding Tianqi, Luo Yan, and the rest of the Peerless Geniuses were doing the same thing too, taking out one after another Patriarch.

They were having difficulty obtaining the Patriarch Talismans when everyone was scattered across the place, but it was a lot easier now that everyone had gathered at the center.

After all, these Patriarchs were only peak Heaven Gods. They did not stand a chance against the Peerless Geniuses without the help of their disciples.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

In less than a hundred breaths since the battle took place, a few shocking auras erupted as stormy clouds appeared in the air.

The cultivators had begun to ascend as immortals after claiming the fortunate encounters and the successions.

Many of the cultivators were from the Falling Dawn Sect.

The disciples of the Falling Dawn Sect had lent a hand when Qin Nan was trying to claim the successions and fortunate encounters, saving him lots of work. As such, he generously shared the loot with the others.

He was more than willing to repay the kindness of people.

On the other hand, Qin Nan now had fifteen Patriarch Talismans.

The peak Heaven God Patriarchs were all eliminated by the Peerless Geniuses too.

"Destruction Fist!"

Qin Nan sprang forward and arrived behind two Peerless Geniuses that were ranked at the lower end of the ranking. He threw a punch forward. The two Peerless Geniuses were startled. They quickly defended themselves.

However, they could not resist the attack at all. They were severely injured by the punch. Their Patriarch Talismans were taken away before they were sealed inside the Ownerless Heaven Pattern.

Lin Qingpo, Xiu Shenliang, Luo Yan, and the others did the same thing too. They were picking on the Peerless Geniuses that were ranked lower on the ranking.

It was reasonable for them to pick on those with weaker cultivations. The immortals would only fight one another when it was necessary.

Time gradually passed, a hundred breaths had passed. More cultivators had ascended. Only a few hundred fortunate encounters and successions were left. The battle intensified gradually too.

Qin Nan had collected forty-three Patriarch Talismans. None of the Peerless Geniuses that he had set his eyes on was able to escape.

"Qin Nan, we weren't able to fight at the Ten Thousand Zhang Heaven Realm. We will do it here today instead!"

Ding Tianqi finally ran out of patience. He unleashed his aura, grabbed his hammers and weaved through the cultivators to attack Qin Nan.

He always wanted to fight Qin Nan since the very beginning. However, no matter how strong the urge to fight Qin Nan was, he knew he could not afford to be taken out in the fight too.

"Qin Nan, I, Luo Yan, am telling you that no matter how strong you are, you will still fall today!"

Luo Yan harrumphed coldly and performed a hand seal, transversing the rift.

"An ant like you should long be taken out!"

Xiu Shenliang mocked and made his move too.

In addition to them, Lin Qingpo, and the Peerless Geniuses ranked at the top of the ranking set their eyes on Qin Nan too. They were executing their moves secretly.

They were long aware of Qin Nan's strength that was posing a great threat to them. As long as someone took the first step, they would not hesitate to join the battle. They could not care less about fighting a battle fair and square.

Taking Qin Nan out meant eliminating a huge threat.

"Let's team up together, we will deal with the Purple Godly Bird and stop Qin Nan's disciples!"

Four Peerless Geniuses ranked at the top of the ranking had their eyes on Wan Xiao. They dispersed their disciples to intercept the disciples of the Falling Dawn Sect too.

Qin Nan had taken many of the successions that were meant to be theirs, hence they were incredibly displeased by it.

Now that the situation was in their favor, they were more than willing to lend a hand. They would take out Qin Nan's wings so he had no chance of a comeback.

"We surely infuriated everyone!"

Wan Xiao felt an urge to vomit blood.

It was exactly what he was worried about, yet Qin Nan did not listen to him. It seemed like the retribution was happening.

Most importantly, he had already claimed quite some successions. He was merely a step away from ascending as an immortal.

But now, four powerful Peerless Geniuses were targeting him. Not only would he fail to ascend as an immortal, he would have to use his only trump card to stay alive.

"Damn it, I knew I should have stayed away from him..."

Wan Xiao cursed, nursing a strong grudge. However, a thought suddenly entered his mind.

"Wan Xiao, the chance is here, take these successions and refine them while you are fighting the four Peerless Geniuses. It will allow you to ascend as an immortal."

Wan Xiao was startled. Before he could react, a strong tide flowed into his body rapidly.

It consisted of thirty impressive successions and fortunate encounters.

"Qin Nan, you..."

Wan Xiao was about to say something when he saw Qin Nan already in the middle of a battle against Ding Tianqi and the rest. He immediately wore a complicated look.

He did not think Qin Nan would still think of him when he was in such great danger. The man even gave him so many fortunate encounters and successions.

"No, I can't allow myself to be tricked. He wants me to feel touched, just so I'm willing to be his mount."

Wan Xiao quickly shook his head.

He had to stand his ground. Besides, he would just help Qin Nan to overcome the situation after he ascended as an immortal.

"Come, let's fight!"

Wan Xiao looked at the four Peerless Geniuses. His eyes flickered with a strong battle intent.
