Chapter 1681: The Twelve Immortal Patterns
Meanwhile, on the other hand...
The battle between Qin Nan and Ding Tianqi, Luo Yan, and the rest of the Peerless Geniuses had taken place too. Lots of Immortal Arts were executed.
Qin Nan had long possessed a remarkable strength, let it be his flesh or his god force. He calmly nullified the deadly attacks that were directed at him.
Both sides were on equal footing.
"Forbidden Taboo Flesh!"
A few hundred breaths later, Qin Nan's aura suddenly rose as he was moving.
"His aura is twice as strong?"
Apart from Ding Tianqi, Luo Yan and the other Peerless Geniuses were stunned.
"Sky-Stride Blow!"
Qin Nan attacked once again. However, he did not target Ding Tianqi and Luo Yan, but he suddenly showed up behind the Peerless Geniuses that were ranked fifteenth, eighteenth, and twenty-third on the ranking.
"True Scripture of Lifeless Taiyan!"
"Art of Ten Immortals Rift-Suppressing!"
"Imperious Descension Art!"
The three Peerless Geniuses quickly reacted, backing away while unleashing their attacks.
"Dragon Soaring Art!"
Qin Nan turned into an ancient dragon. His powerful dragon claws shattered the Dao Intent of the Art of Dao Seeking and the two Immortal Arts. Following it, he swung his tail and inflicted serious damage on the three Peerless Geniuses.
He immediately flicked his finger and activated the Ownerless Heaven Pattern, seizing the three Peerless Geniuses.
Even though their Arts of Dao Seeking conflicted with those practiced by the Peerless Geniuses he had subdued so far, he would have to waste more of his energy to slay the Peerless Geniuses under the circumstances. As such, it was more efficient to just suppress them with the Ownerless Heaven Pattern.
Once he ascended as an immortal, he could then filter out the Arts of Dao Seeking unsuitable for him.
"Qin Nan!"
Ding Tianqi, Luo Yan, and the other Peerless Geniuses took hold of the opportunity and charged at Qin Nan from different directions.
Whoosh!
However, Qin Nan did not face them directly. He unpredictably moved to some Peerless Geniuses and unleashed his formidable saber intents.
"Crap! He has used that strange pattern to subdue eighteen Peerless Geniuses. He now has at least eighty Patriarch Talismans."
A few moments later, Ding Tianqi, Luo Yan, Lin Qingpo, and Xiu Shenliang immediately realized what Qin Nan was up to. Their expressions fell.
At this rate, Qin Nan would soon acquire a hundred Patriarch Talismans, and with his outstanding movement and unpredictable moves, he could easily hold onto them for an hour.
"Lin Qingpo, Xiu Shenliang, aren't you going to fight with all you have? You are going to lose your chance of getting the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron!"
Luo Yan snapped.
"Humph, you guys are so useless, you can't take Qin Nan on."
Xiu Shenliang looked at Luo Yan disdainfully while walking toward him.
"Qin Nan, your strength is indeed impressive. You are comparable to any of the Seven Elites of Heavens and Earth."
Lin Qingpo said calmly. His long robe flapped in the wind with a Dao Glow. Three formidable auras burst out from his body and immediately suppressed the people nearby.
He initially planned to make his move in the very last moment, but he had no choice but to take part in the battle now.
Meanwhile, a loud explosion came from the distance...
Wan Xiao was entirely shrouded in an immortal light. His formidable aura knocked the four Peerless Geniuses that were flanking him flying while vomiting blood.
A strong presence surged across the place like an unstoppable tide.
He had successfully ascended!
"You all have finally teamed up? Try and stop me then."
Qin Nan remained calm. His lips curled up into a grin as his battle intent rose tremendously. He immediately attacked the four Peerless Geniuses that were injured.
He had long wanted to fight these people on his own, yet it was necessary to collect the Patriarch Talismans first.
He only needed thirteen more.
"Still trying to pick on the others?"
Xiu Shenliang twisted his lips. He performed a hand seal, summoning illusions stacking on top of one another.
Lin Qingpo, Ding Tianqi, Luo Yan, Qing Yuanzi, Gu Zhenyi, and the other Peerless Geniuses immediately spread out and unleashed their Immortal Arts.
BANG BANG BANG!
Strong gusts of wind surged across the place.
Various kinds of Dao Intents soared into the sky, it was fairly intimidating.
"How is this possible!?"
"How strong exactly is Qin Nan?"
"Gasp, this is unbelievable, he's only slightly at a disadvantage!"
As the battle took place, many cultivators were gradually astounded. Their faces were soon filled with great astonishment.
Qin Nan was facing Lin Qingpo, Xiu Shenliang, Ding Tianqi, Luo Yan, and the rest; he was fighting thirteen Peerless Geniuses at the same time.
And yet he was only at a slight disadvantage, how terrifying was that?
"His strength has already grown to such level."
Wan Xiao smacked his lips too. However, he soon calmed his thoughts as he had already witnessed Qin Nan's potential.
"I thought I could lend him a hand, but it's no longer necessary. I will repay him by doing him a favor after I ascend."
He placed his attention on the Tribulation.
Buzz!
Meanwhile, the huge Heaven-Repairing Cauldron trembled, producing a loud buzz that struck the souls of the cultivators like an invisible force.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan, and Lin Qingpo, Xiu Shenliang, Ding Tianqi, and the rest of the Peerless Geniuses who were attacking with all they had immediately shifted their attention toward it.
BANG!
A mystical light burst out of the mysterious Heaven-Repairing Cauldron. It soared into the sky and disappeared into the boundless horizon of the World of Yang.
The light soon disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
Twelve patterns illustrating ancient dragons, blood phoenix, blue ox, white tiger, and some other godly beasts surfaced on the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.
Each pattern was emitting a strong immortal intent that significantly surpassed any succession and fortunate encounter that had shown up previously.
"Are those the legendary Twelve Immortal Beast Patterns?"
Lin Qingpo was startled. His words shocked the Peerless Geniuses and the cultivators too.
The Twelve Immortal Beast Patterns were a rare artifact refined by nature. It possessed the intents of twelve ancient beasts. Not only would it grant the Peerless Genius that refined it incredible benefits, it would also help the cultivator comprehend the Dao Realm.
If a genius who had mastered the Dao Realm refined the Twelve Immortal Beast Patterns, their cultivation would most likely improve further.
Even being able to acquire a single pattern among the Twelve Immortal Beast Patterns was considered extremely lucky. Some Peerless Rulers would even fight with all they had to secure the Twelve Immortal Beast Patterns.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Lin Qingpo, Xiu Shenliang, and the others quickly reacted and soared into the sky. They completely ignored Qin Nan.
"Quick!"
"Secure the Immortal Beast Patterns!"
"Let's focus on getting one!"
