Chapter 1683: True Cultivation
"Butian (Heaven-Repairing)! You have trapped me so many years, yet I didn't even resist once, but you still want to stop me when I'm trying to kill an ant?"
The enormous beast let out a deafening roar. Its scales kept opening up and closing. It turned in the air and swung its claw at the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.
Whoosh!
Huge chains engulfed in black flames burst out of the patterns of deities on the artifact, wrapping around the beast's claw and its entire body.
An indescribable, terrifying battle took place. The whole sky was filled with destruction and rare phenomena.
Although the giant beast was quite powerful, the chains of the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron were strangely effective against it.
The giant beast was suppressed.
"HAHAHA! What did I say?"
Xiu Shenliang could not help but burst out laughing upon seeing this. His eyes were filled with disdain, "A mere beast with the strength of a Peerless Ruler dares to oppose me? I can just stand still here yet you won't be able to kill me either!"
The giant beast was absolutely infuriated. It could not wait to tear Xiu Shenliang into pieces, but under the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron's control, it had no choice but to withhold the urge.
The mouths of Qin Nan, Lin Qingpo, and the others twisted. Regardless of Xiu Shenliang's cultivation, the man was special in his own way, one of the kind in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
They quickly glanced at the twelve Beast Immortal Patterns.
As for the crowd of cultivators, their vision was restricted by the rare phenomena across the sky. Even by using their eye-techniques, they were unable to see what was happening up there. They could only sense the destructive auras crashing into one another.
"What's going on?"
"What happened to the Peerless Geniuses?"
"What about the twelve Beast Immortal Patterns?"
The cultivators looked utterly confused.
"Humph, trying to compete with me with your mere cultivation? The twelve Immortal Beast Patterns are mine!"
Xiu Shenliang collected his thoughts. He first mocked and immediately made his move, summoning twelve mirror images flying toward the twelve Beast Immortal Patterns.
He did not flee in the first place, thus he was the closest to the Beast Immortal Patterns. He had a great advantage over the others.
"Ultimate Life Sword Breaking Blow!"
"True Scripture of Lifeless Taiyan!"
Lin Qingpo, Ding Tianqi, Luo Yan, and the rest of the Peerless Geniuses immediately executed their arts and caught up to Xiu Shenliang, aiming their attacks at his mirror images.
"Six Illusionary Deities!"
Xiu Shenliang performed a hand seal. The twelve mirror images immediately merged into six, their strength rose tremendously.
Even though he liked to sneer at people, he knew clearly that trying to take all twelve of the Beast Immortal Patterns from the Peerless Geniuses was nothing but suicide.
As such, the mirror images were only a bluff. He actually wanted to take six of them.
"Crap!"
Lin Qingpo and the others were startled. Xiu Shenliang was just too quick for them to stop him.
Did they really have to let the man take six of the Beast Immortal Patterns away?
BANG!
Meanwhile, twelve golden hands that were summoned by a strong eye-technique suddenly reached out from the rift and took the Beast Immortal Patterns.
It happened at lightning speed.
"Fellows, I will gladly take the twelve Beast Immortal Patterns."
Qin Nan's blood hair drifted in the wind. He let out a calm smile.
"Qin Nan?"
Lin Qingpo, Xiu Shenliang, Luo Yan, and the others were startled. They did not expect Qin Nan would still have such a strong ability up his sleeves.
"Qin Nan, that's pretty bold of you, you dare take all the Beast Immortal Patterns on your own?"
Lin Qingpo quickly collected his thoughts. His face turned cold as the Ultimate Life Intent danced around him like huge dragons.
"Qin Nan, you dare take my stuff?"
Xiu Shenliang's eyes flickered with rage, "Everyone, let's not waste our time with him. Let's team up and eliminate him."
This Qin Nan had definitely crossed the line. He was only thinking of taking six of the Beast Immortal Patterns, but Qin Nan was planning to take them all?
"Kill!"
Ding Tianqi, Luo Yan, and the rest of the Peerless Geniuses immediately made their moves. Their Immortal Arts filled up the sky and sprang at Qin Nan like roaring dragons.
Unlike the battle from before, they no longer bothered to preserve their strength. They had all used their full strength.
"Dragon Soaring Art!"
Qin Nan did not back away. He turned into an ancient dragon soaring into the sky.
"Sky-Stride Blow!"
Qin Nan executed another move to defeat the Peerless Geniuses one by one.
"Qin Nan, I shall seal away your move forever!"
In the nick of time, Lin Qingpo came and struck at lightning speed, "Ultimate Life Dao, Liuli Eight Wonder Pagoda!"
Wisps of Ultimate Life Intent and jade glow simultaneously surrounded Qin Nan outlining an ancient pagoda.
The pagoda was not huge. It was colorful and faint. From afar, it simply looked like Qin Nan was enclosed by the pagoda.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan wore an astonished look.
The ancient pagoda did not inflict any damage on him, nor did it restrict his god force and Dao glow, but for some reason, he could no longer use the Sky-Stride Blow.
Luo Yan, Ding Tianqi, and the Peerless Geniuses quickly took hold of the opportunity to execute their strongest attacks.
"Destruction Battle Saber!"
Qin Nan's blood hair danced wildly. He did not take even a single step back facing the approaching danger. He gathered his will on the tip of his saber and slashed forward instead.
"Qin Nan, you're done for!"
Xiu Shenliang suddenly showed up around ten zhang away behind Qin Nan. His body bloated as he transformed into an illusionary deity over nine hundred zhang tall, looking down at Qin Nan.
Whoosh!
Xiu Shenliang grabbed at the rift and dragged an ancient spear encapsulated by godly glows out before stabbing at Qin Nan.
The spear was not too powerful, yet its timing and the angle it was attacking from were perfect.
Even a Human Immortal, or even an Earth Immortal would have trouble dodging the attack under the circumstances, let alone Qin Nan.
BANG!
A loud explosion took place when the spear landed.
Xiu Shenliang's eyes widened. He simply felt like the spear had struck a mountain. No matter how hard he was trying, the spear could not move any further.
"What is going on?"
Lin Qingpo, Luo Yan, and the rest of the Peerless Geniuses were astounded. Qin Nan did not activate any artifact, nor did he do anything, so how did he manage to stop it?
"I'm done for?"
Qin Nan grinned. Two overwhelming intents burst out of his body and spread into the surroundings.
The battle had only just begun."
