The dragons above the grade of a battle dragon were Seven-Clawed Battle Dragons, Seven-Clawed G.o.dly Dragons, and Ten-Clawed Immortal Dragons.

Currently, in the Palaces of Beasts, the battle dragons could only reach the middle sector of the palaces.

Only those with a Seven-Clawed Battle Dragon could reach the deeper parts of the palaces, while those with the Seven-Clawed G.o.dly Dragons and the Ten-Clawed Immortal Dragons could reach the nine illusionary dragons.

It was obvious that the cultivators with the Seven-Clawed G.o.dly Dragons and the Ten-Clawed Immortal Dragons had made their way to the illusionary dragons, meaning that Qin Nan had no chance of getting his hands on either of the dragons.

His only choice was to go deeper into the palaces.

"You are on your own, if you can find your way to the nine illusionary dragons, I'll lend you a hand."

Qin Nan transmitted his thought to Wan Xiao. He turned into a shocking saber glow and landed on a Seven-Clawed Battle Dragon.

"Cultivator, I'm borrowing your dragon."

Qin Nan flicked his finger, unleas.h.i.+ng strong wisps of Destruction Battle Intent.

"You're robbing me of my battle dragon?"

The cultivator riding the Seven-Clawed Battle Dragon was a cultivator in a black robe. He snapped furiously while his skinny hands reached out from the robe.

Even though Qin Nan was still shrouded by the terrifying crimson-red glow, the man had completely crossed the line.

As such, the cultivator did not hesitate to attack.

Qin Nan went to the cultivator's back with a flicker and combined the Destruction Battle Will into a giant punch.

Following a loud blast, the cultivator groaned as he was knocked flying into the distance.

"Cultivator, sorry for that, I'll return the dragon soon."

Qin Nan brought his fists together.

The Seven-Clawed Battle Dragon went enraged. It was about to attack when it shuddered all of a sudden as it realized something. It quickly flew to the deeper parts of the palaces at a shocking pace.

Qin Nan walked down from the dragon and frowned when he looked into the direction of the nine illusionary dragons.

He did not realize there was an invisible barrier around the place when he was still in the middle sector of the palaces.

In addition to it, he sensed a dangerous aura from the barrier, something that even his eye-technique was unable to see through.

As for the Seven-Clawed Battle Dragon, it returned to its previous master after letting out a cry. Its eyes kept looking at Qin Nan with a hint of unwillingness.

"That works too?"

Wan Xiao and the cultivators in the middle sector were astounded. They did not expect to find such a loophole in the rules here.

The cultivators could venture deeper by just borrowing someone's dragon instead of claiming them.

Wan Xiao and the rest of the cultivators soon collected their thoughts and set their eyes on the cultivators who owned a Seven-Clawed Battle Dragon. The cultivators being stared at shuddered after noticing everyone's gaze.

"It's too risky trying to barge into the barrier. I should enter the palaces here and see if I can find anything useful."

Qin Nan glanced around him as he made up his mind.

There were not many palaces in the deeper part, only thirty-seven of them in total.

However, the number of cultivators was more, there were more than seventy of them.

Not long after, a magnificent palace built with blue copper caught Qin Nan's attention.

The beast pattern on it was a kind of ancient beast, the Time Immemorial Sacred Leopard.

In comparison to the other patterns, the aura of this beast seemed to be stronger.

Qin Nan kicked the ground and entered the palace.

The walls inside the palace had carvings depicting the Time Immemorial Sacred Leopard battling against other beasts and cultivators.

Inside the palace were several rare phenomena occurring simultaneously.

Some of the rare phenomena consisted of teleporting formations. If the cultivators went into them by accident, they would immediately be sent to some places with no escape.

Further ahead were various kinds of deadly traps. Three Heaven G.o.ds were currently trapped within them.

"Cultivator, why don't we work together? If we manage to acquire the succession, you can take seven-tenths..."

A peak Heaven G.o.d was overjoyed when he saw Qin Nan.

He could easily tell from Qin Nan's aura and the crimson-red glow shrouding him that he was an extraordinary Peerless Genius.

With his help, they might be able to resolve the danger.

Whoos.h.!.+

However, before he could finish, Qin Nan immediately transformed into a shocking saber glow, charging at the danger ahead.

"Did he really charge forward on his own?"

The three peak Heaven G.o.ds were stunned.

They were well aware of how powerful the traps were. Even a Peerless Genius would struggle to break through on his own.

However, they immediately witnessed an astonis.h.i.+ng sight.

Qin Nan was completely unstoppable among the traps as he evaded them perfectly.

A few moments later, they could no longer see Qin Nan.

Qin Nan had proceeded further into the palace.

"What's this?"

Qin Nan's eyes glistened.

In front of him was an eerie scene.

Almost three thousand skulls of cultivators were hung in the air by golden silk, each with blood dripping onto the floor.

A strong murderous intent was lingering in the air like a vengeful spirit.

"c.r.a.p, it's a killing formation!"

Qin Nan was startled, he quickly backed away without hesitation.

However, he was still one step too late. The eyes on the skulls suddenly emitted shocking blood glow as they were fixed on Qin Nan.

The walls in the surroundings vanished into thin air. They were replaced with a h.e.l.lish swamp, with ghastly demons crawling out from it.

Countless murderous intents were locked onto Qin Nan.

Each of the demons was as strong as a Heaven G.o.d Realm cultivator.

"Sky-Desolating Saber Art!"

Qin Nan pushed forward instead of retreating. He slashed at the demons with the Heaven-Shattering Saber, resulting in a series of explosions.

However, the demons were reconstructed in no time.

Not only were their cultivation slightly stronger, they were able to use various kinds of Immortal Arts too.

"Such a vicious killing formation, not only did it cost the lives of more than three thousand cultivators, it even trapped their souls inside these demons."

Qin Nan's eyes flickered coldly. He activated the Dao Crystal in his body.
