"I don't recommend touching that ancient rock. It is known as the Heavenly Fortune Rock. It is said to have been forged with a fascinating art by some authority of the Heavenly Fortune Tribe who had cooperated with some ancient authorities.
"In the Upper Arcana, there are thirteen forbidden places where Martial Monarchs are not allowed to trespa.s.s. These places each have a Heavenly Fortune Rock. Only the people of the Heavenly Fortune Tribe are able to activate the rocks and summon the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain.
"If you aren't from the Heavenly Fortune Tribe, even a Martial Monarch would die trying to touch it."
w.a.n.g Zhao warned.
"Heavenly Fortune Rock? What's the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain?"
Princess Miao Miao asked while blinking her eyes.
"You’ve never heard of it before? Oh, I won't be telling you then."
w.a.n.g Zhao raised his head like a victorious proud rooster. He was prejudiced against women, especially those who were glamorous.
"Ancient authorities, huh..."
Qin Nan's eyes flickered.
He was extremely confident that the Heavenly Fortune Rock had been constructed mimicking the structure of the Desolated Battle Spirit's crystal coffin.
However, he was clueless about the mysterious relation between the Desolated Battle Spirit, the disappeared Heavenly Fortune Tribe, and Madam Heavenly Fortune.
BANG!
Meanwhile, a shocking crimson glow burst out from the blood pool!
The s.p.a.cious crystal palace was filled with a series of explosions, as several ancient formations, forbidding auras, etc. became active. They began to emit a terrifying force aiming at the trio!
"I'll handle the formations, you two deal with the blood pool!"
Qin Nan reacted immediately. With a kick, he weaved his way through, dodging the attacks while throwing punches at the weak points of the formations and forbidding auras, shattering them instantly!
"The information is on point. This Qin Nan does have extraordinary eye-techniques and movement..."
w.a.n.g Zhao's eyes glistened. Without pondering further, he performed a hand seal and summoned ancient leaves in the air, which poured down onto the blood pool. Each leaf contained a terrifying power!
Princess Miao Miao followed up on the attack. Her hand controlled an invisible sword and slashed downward!
The entire crystal palace was instantly drowned in a succession of explosions!
Qin Nan quickly took a glance as he was destroying the formations. w.a.n.g Zhao was right; the blood pool was nothing ordinary. It was able to summon the illusionary figures of Martial Monarchs, which attacked them with outstanding monarch arts!
It was clear that the blood pool had merged with quite a significant amount of Martial Monarchs' blood!
"w.a.n.g Zhao, use your Canglan Tree to seal it!"
Princess Miao Miao blurted out with glistening eyes.
"Humph, who do you think you are trying to order me around——oh s.h.i.+t, seal..."
Seeing Princess Miao Miao charging toward him murderously, w.a.n.g Zhao's body shuddered before he immediately executed an ancient art, summoning half-illusionary tree branches which dove into the blood pool!
The rumbling force of the blood pool rapidly weakened as if it were being constrained!
"Soulless Sky Prison Hand!"
Princess Miao Miao's aura rose wildly!
As she waved her hand, the cries of deities echoed in the surroundings, as a giant illusionary hand grabbed at the blood pool and pulled a savage, screaming blood dragon from it.
"Did she just pull its soul out? Who exactly is this woman?"
w.a.n.g Zhao was left dumbfounded.
He was able to tell that Princess Miao Miao was not human, but a transfiguration of a magical herb. She was most likely a disciple of the Lost Herb Garden. However, he now realized that she was not just an ordinary disciple.
"Qin Nan!"
Princess Miao Miao yelled!
"Break!"
Qin Nan swung his right arm, firing a few hundred streams of saber intent which landed at the weak points of the formations, shattering them into pieces!
"Destroy!"
Qin Nan's hair drifted wildly as he descended upon the blood dragon like a demon!
As the blood dragon opened its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth trying to snap at Qin Nan, the Destruction Martial Tree emerged from his back and crushed down onto its head, causing cracks to appear on its body instantly!
ROAR!
At that instant, an unexpected change took place!
The blood dragon seemed to be aggravated. It let out a furious roar as its body rapidly expanded. A strong demonic intent burst out from its body. It had turned into a Diabolical Blood Dragon!
After turning into a fiend, the blood dragon's strength multiplied as it swung its claws at its enemies. Even the Destruction Martial Tree and the Soulless Sky Prison Hand began to tremble vigorously as if they were on the verge of being shattered by the claws!
"Its demonic aura is rising in an unstoppable manner. It will only grow stronger. We will have to kill it in one blow!"
"Martial Trees unleashed!"
Qin Nan yelled as seven Martial Trees sprang into the sky behind him.
"Lotus of the Land!"
"Canglan Sword!"
Princess Miao Miao and w.a.n.g Zhao did not hesitate. They immediately performed their hand seals, summoning a giant lotus and a giant sword that seemed to have been refined by the Canglan Tree. Together with the seven Martial Trees, the attacks were directed at the Diabolical Blood Dragon's body!
BANG!
The s.p.a.cious crystal palace began to shake violently!
The Diabolical Blood Dragon struggled as its evil, b.l.o.o.d.y aura arose, trying to heal its wounds. However, regardless of how fast its wounds were recovering, it was no match against the speed of destruction. In less than a few breaths' time, the Diabolical Blood Dragon was completely shattered into pieces!
The blood pool immediately had a weaker murderous intent, but the presence of Qi remained overwhelming.
"The blood pool is mine!"
Princess Miao Miao reacted swiftly. She waved her hand and executed a monarch art which was specifically useful for retrieving treasure. Not a single drop of the blood pool was left, as it was completely drawn into her Sumeru Ring.
"You..."
w.a.n.g Zhao was infuriated!
The blood pool was incredibly useful. How could she take it all?
"Huh? You have something to say?"
Princess Miao Miao cast a side glance at him with a murderous aura!
"I..."
w.a.n.g Zhao felt pressure on his chest.
Even though he was not afraid of Princess Miao Miao, he would be having a duel with Qin Nan soon. If he were to fight against her now, how would he be able to beat Qin Nan later?
"It's true that pretty girls are never reasonable. Forget it, I will not waste my time arguing with women."
w.a.n.g Zhao comforted himself in his heart. He s.h.i.+fted his focus toward the piece of the Canglan Tree.
"According to our agreement, you're not allowed to intervene later!"
w.a.n.g Zhao stared at Princess Miao Miao with an alert look.
"Don't worry, I've always kept my own promises. I won't interfere at all!"
Princess Miao Miao responded without turning her head. She continued to inspect the blood pool.
Was there any reason she would interfere?
"Qin Nan!" w.a.n.g Zhao withheld the excitement in his heart as he challenged again, "I rarely have a duel against anyone. Why don't we have more fun with it instead? Are you down for a bet?"
"Oh? A bet? Enlighten me."
Qin Nan's eyes squinted slightly.
Why would he suggest a bet out of nowhere? It seemed like this w.a.n.g Zhao already had it in his mind at the very beginning.
Princess Miao Miao straightened her ears too!
She was definitely a fan of betting!
"It's simple, the loser shall swear in the name of the Heavens and Earth that he will call the winner father whenever he sees him. Besides that, the loser shall obey the commands of the winner to a certain degree. How's that?"
w.a.n.g Zhao raised his head and said.
According to his plan, he was going to make Qin Nan his subordinate.
However, he suddenly came up with a better plan in the midst of his speech. If Qin Nan who had surpa.s.sed the rules of cultivation became his son instead, wouldn't it be more flashy?
Qin Nan was slightly startled. Before he could speak, Princess Miao Miao shook her head vigorously.
"No way, I don’t want to have such an ugly son!"
