“Qin Nan…has started to ascend!”

The cultivators murmured.

Ascension was important for every cultivator, especially for the Peerless Geniuses.

Those who failed to ascend would have to waste a few tens of years waiting for the next Immortal Ascension War. As such, the others were surely going to leave them a long way behind.

As such, the status of Lin Qingpo and the others whom Qin Nan abducted would fall rapidly in their factions.

“Who would think that the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron has such an astonis.h.i.+ng background.”

Qin Nan was in quite a great shock.

He had learned a few things after refining the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron. It was once a Nine Heavens Supreme’s strongest artifact, a peak Dao Weapon.

The giant beast that it had sealed was called the Immortal Killing Beast, a half-Supreme existence.

However, following a great calamity, the Nine Heavens Supreme had fallen. The Heaven-Repairing Cauldron was severely damaged too and ended up in the World of Yang

That being said, Qin Nan had not learned the rest of the secrets and the uses of the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.

His first priority was to ascend as an immortal.

“Time to refine them all.”

Qin Nan took out more than twenty successions from his Sumeru Ring, each emitting a shocking immortal intent.

Qin Nan flicked his finger and set the things before him on fire and refined them.

The immortal glow behind him grew rapidly. The stormy cloud also expanded to an area of three hundred thousand li.

It was not the end yet, an ancient pattern over ten thousand li formed by golden light faintly appeared among the clouds.

The cultivators shuddered. They immediately sensed a great pressure as if a huge stone was pressing down on their minds.

The Tribulation that Wan Xiao had triggered was nothing compared to the one before them.

“Is this the Immortal Pattern Tribulation?”

Many knowledgeable cultivators were astounded as they collected their thoughts.

The Immortal Pattern Tribulation was a kind of Tribulation from ancient times. Even Peerless Geniuses would not be able to trigger it. However, whenever it showed up, it only meant one thing.

The person overcoming the Tribulation was unbeatable among the cultivators of his level!

“Immortal Beast Patterns.”

Qin Nan summoned the twelve Immortal Beast Patterns and inserted a drop of his blood into each of them to refine them.

ROAR!

Twelve extraordinary roars of beasts echoed in the sky.

An imperious ancient dragon over ten thousand zhang long, a vermilion bird covered in blood with an overwhelming murderous aura, a blue ox covered in Dao runes and an ancient presence, and many more illusionary figures showed up and entered Qin Nan’s body.

Qin Nan’s force immediately reached a remarkable level.

The wisp of Dao glow with a formidable Dao intent suddenly grew brighter as if it just had a breakthrough.

The whole place underwent tremendous changes too.

Countless ancient immortals summoned by the Great Dao walked out from the light of time. They started playing musical instruments as they sang, their voices echoed across the World of Yang.

The stormy cloud and the Immortal Patterns representing the Tribulation merged rapidly into an ancient pattern that covered a distance of around fifty thousand li.

Countless corpses were stacked on the pattern, forming an indescribable mountain of skeletons. On top of it stood a glorious throne.

“What…what was that?”

Not only were the cultivators astounded, even the ancient existence in the World of Yang were dumbfounded.

They had never seen any Tribulation like it.

“Break!”

Qin Nan let out a huge roar. His blood hair drifted in the wind. Under the crowd’s gaze, he fully gathered his intent and merged it with the Heaven-Shattering Saber into a saber glow rising into the sky slas.h.i.+ng at the pattern.

The mysterious pattern broke into pieces.

Even though it was a kind of ancient Tribulation, it did not show up to erase the existence of the person that was overcoming the Tribulation. It was a symbol implying what kind of a person that was overcoming the Tribulation was.

BANG!

Qin Nan immediately underwent incredible changes.

A strong immortal aura burst out of his body. His flesh evolved into the flesh of an immortal while the G.o.d force in his body transformed into immortal force.

His cultivation improved rapidly too.

First-layer Human Immortal Realm!

Third-layer Human Immortal Realm!

Sixth-layer Human Immortal Realm!

It kept rising even after it reached the ninth-layer Human Immortal Realm.

Qin Nan had acc.u.mulated too much power since the start of the Immortal Ascension War, thus the reason why his cultivation had such an astonis.h.i.+ng improvement.

However, when the process was about to come to an end, when the final wisp of the G.o.d force in his body was about to transform into the immortal force, the Divine Battle Dao Runes in his body started to glow.

A strong force drew the energy inside Qin Nan’s body and the energy of the breakthrough away.

“Mm?”

Qin Nan was startled.

Why would the Divine Battle Dao Runes intervene at such a crucial timing?

As he was totally confused, an imperious voice echoed in his mind.

“My master, you are my pride. I will now pa.s.s you the Great Dao that I’ve comprehended from going into seclusion for nine hundred and ninety-nine years!”

“My master, do remember that even though the Battle Dao Immortal Ma.n.u.script was considered the Dao of Primordial Times, it is not your Dao. You have your own Dao!”

“It is still waiting for you!”

Following it, countless ancient dragons with thirteen claws flew into Qin Nan’s mind and turned into a seemingly illusionary, yet real ancient boulder.

On the boulder wrote four imperious words with an overwhelming intent.

Dao Battle Immortal Ma.n.u.script!

Inside it was the General Outline of the Dao Battle Immortal Ma.n.u.script, but unlike the other Arts of Dao Seeking he had learned, it only consisted of a single sentence.

The Dao of Battle was not the Dao to becoming a G.o.d of Battle, nor was it a Dao to fight, but it was to defeat the Dao!”
