Chapter 1756: Before the Wave Subsides
"A mere Earth Immortal dares to challenge us!?"
The Peerless Ruler of the Nongyan Tribe was very hot-tempered. He snapped furiously upon collecting his thoughts as a golden flame burst out of his body.
The man performed a hand seal with a single hand to execute an Immortal Art.
"Qin...Qin Nan?"
The Peerless Ruler of the Extreme Living Gate was struggling to believe his eyes.
He was at the Sky Taihuang Sect during the Battle of the Strongest Immortal, thus he instantly recognized Qin Nan since he had quite a strong impression of him.
"Qin Nan? The Strongest Immortal whose Dao Foundation was destroyed?"
The Peerless Ruler of the Nongyan Tribe was startled once again. He did not proceed with his attack right away.
The rest of the Peerless Rulers and the cultivators shared the same reaction.
They had all heard about Qin Nan and his achievements.
But why would he show up here?
And how did his cultivation reach the peak Earth Immortal Realm in just a few months?
"Qin Nan, what a coincidence!"
The Peerless Ruler of the Extreme Living Gate grinned coldly, "Just in time, we still have some unsettled debt between us!"
His figure suddenly expanded by a few times. A strong pure Extreme Living Will gathered on his palm as he slammed his hand down at Qin Nan.
The rift within a few dozens of li shattered. The powerful saber intent that Qin Nan unleashed was completely destroyed too.
"Master Qin Nan, you must pay the debt you owe."
"Ami...tabha!"
The old monk of the Ancient Bodhi Temple uttered a chant, summoning Bodhi glows in the surroundings.
Several warrior attendants of Buddha appeared and stared at Qin Nan.
Even though they did not see Qin Nan as an enemy of life and death, but since his Dao Foundation was already destroyed, he would never pose any threat to them.
Since they had stumbled into him, they would not let him go.
"A Heaven Immortal indeed stands no chance against a Peerless Ruler!"
Qin Nan's blood hair drifted in the wind.
He felt an enormous pressure, strong enough to make him feel suffocated.
Even if he was to use all the Arts of Dao Seeking and the Dao-Jolting Saber Art, he still did not stand a chance against the attacks.
In the nick of time, Qin Nan activated the badge that Supreme Chang Xiao had given him without any hesitation.
BANG!
A Supreme Will burst out of the badge.
The light in the surroundings darkened. A magnificent illusionary figure stared down at the place like a great ruler and slammed his hand down.
"The will of a Nine Heavens Supreme?"
The two Peerless Rulers that were attacking and the rest of the Peerless Rulers were startled. They immediately used rare artifacts and immortal arts to defend themselves.
A huge blast echoed in the surroundings.
The gap on the Dao Barrier was now thrice bigger.
The terrifying force knocked the Peerless Rulers flying. Some with relatively lower cultivation groaned in pain after receiving the impact.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor and the others quickly took hold of the opportunity to regroup with Qin Nan.
Qin Nan waved his hand and unleashed a formidable immortal force to encapsulate them. He quickly used the Unstoppable Step and turned into a ray of light disappearing into the Unclaimed Land of Dao.
"Damn it, Supreme Chang Xiao even gave him his Supreme Will!"
The Peerless Ruler of the Extreme Living Gate nullified the surging force with a grim look.
Even the core disciples of the Extreme Living Gate and other factions were unlikely to be given the will of a Nine Heavens Supreme.
The reason being that if a Nine Heavens Supreme were to take his will out, it would inflict a certain damage on themselves.
"Fellow masters, I shall pursue Qin Nan with Immortal Emperor Jiangjue, should you all stay behind to repair the Dao Barrier?" the old monk of the Ancient Bodhi Temple said.
The rest of the Peerless Rulers exchanged glances with one another. The Peerless Ruler of the Nongyan Tribe harrumphed and said, "We will go with you. There's a chance that the kid still has more wisps of the Supreme Will. We shouldn't let out guard down."
"We just need to leave two people behind to guard the entrance."
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue and the old monk exchanged glances. They nodded seeing that the others did not take the bait. The group of Peerless Rulers proceeded forward.
The hundreds of cultivators in the valley were dumbfounded.
They did not expect Qin Nan to have such incredible move allowing him to break free from the surround of a dozen Peerless Rulers.
Meanwhile, the Ninth Space of the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda...
Most people in the Ten Thousand Hall were Earth Immortals, Heaven Immortals, and Peerless Rulers.
As for the Layer Hall, there were Nine Heavens Supremes in charge of it.
Currently, in a room on the highest floor of the Layer Hall, Supreme Wuqiu was concentrating on brewing a crystalline immortal tea. His hands were moving rapidly like ancient dragons.
"Master Wuqiu! I have something urgent to report."
A figure rushed into the room all of a sudden. It was Heaven Immortal Xu Lai.
"What is it?"
Supreme Wuqiu frowned.
Brewing tea was his little hobby. He enjoyed spending his time on it when he was in a bad mood. He hated being disturbed during the process.
Xu Lai wiped his sweat and said, "Due to an unknown reason, the Crow River, the Ghost Sobbing Path, the Sword Immortal Sect in the Eastern Realm have all undergone shocking changes...emitting immortal lights and displaying rare phenomena, as if shocking successions and artifacts have appeared."
He proceeded to mention the names of more than ten ancient ruins.
Three of them were no weaker than the Sacred Kingdom.
"Oh? That sounds quite suspicious. Send someone to investigate them."
Supreme Wuqiu said calmly, "Besides, Xu Lai, there's no need for you to report everything to me..."
He was quite impressed with Xu Lai after the incident that involved Qin Nan. He purposely promoted Xu Lai to work under him.
However, he believed it was necessary for him to give the man some advice.
Before he could finish, Xu Lai's badge began to glow. Xu Lai subconsciously inspected it ad straightened his face, "The Old Immortal Woods, Floating Cloud City...are reacting unusually too."
Five more names of ancient ruins were mentioned.
Even Supreme Wuqiu was startled.
As a Nine Heavens Supreme, he knew something significant must be happening if so many ancient ruins in the Eastern Realm were having these unusual behaviors.
Supreme Wuqiu nodded slightly. He tapped his finger on the table and said, "If that's the case, spread my words..."
Xu Lai's badge glowed again. He took a quick look at it and was stunned.
"Mas...master, the Nightmare Kingdom, the Upper Peak Mountain, and the Imperious Ruler Corpse Tree...have all shown up!"
