Chapter 1827 - The Compet.i.tion Between Exceptional Geniuses

“It’s about to blossom!” a cultivator blurted out.

Three Exceptional Geniuses—Qin Nan, Zhu Yan, Gu Xiaoyao—and other Heaven Immortals s.h.i.+fted their attention to the Upper-Life Immortal Tree.

The gaze of many cultivators sharpened as immortal force surged within their bodies to prepare themselves.

BANG!

A dull explosion echoed in the ears of the crowd.

It did not come from the Upper-Life Immortal Tree, but the place deeper ahead.

“The treasure deeper ahead has most likely shown itself!”

Many cultivators seemed astounded.

Although they did not know anything about the mysterious Gate of Heavens, they were still aware of the reason behind the noises deeper into the place.

Despite intrigued by the treasure it held, they had no intention to be involved in the compet.i.tion.

Even the outermost part of the inner sector was gathered with a bunch of Peerless Rulers, while the Nine Heavens Supremes were further inside. If they were to rush into it now, they would soon turn into icy corpses lying on the ground.

Dong…Dong…Dong…

Meanwhile, long chimes of an ancient bell were heard.

The chimes contained an extremely unique tone. Apart from Qin Nan and a few others, every cultivator was startled upon hearing them.

It felt as if time had frozen.

Qin Nan and the cultivators clearly noticed the seven-petaled flowers shattering into light glows. They scattered in the air before forming a fruit with a jade-like appearance and the size of a palm.

Following it, the Qi of the Heavens and Earth turned into great storms surging at the place.

A few different rare phenomena occurred in the rift, grabbing everyone’s attention.

“Tsk tsk, the Upper-Life Immortal Tree here in the Six Unity Forbidden Land is different than the ones outside. It has borne more than eighty fruits at once!”

“Qin Nan, we must secure at least thirty of them!” Doom said excitedly.

Qin Nan did not speak, but a formidable aura burst out of his body as he sprang up the Upper-Life Immortal Tree like a tremendous ray of light.

“Mm?”

The people that unleashed their auras simultaneously were Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao.

They had noticed Qin Nan at the same time. Their eyes flickered with astonishment.

“Do it!”

The other cultivators quickly came to their senses at that instant.

One after another immortal ray sprang into the sky with a formidable aura. The gra.s.s within a few hundred li drifted in the wind produced by their movement.

It was an utterly spectacular scene, as if an enormous dragon had just woken up from an eternal slumber.

“Sky-Stride Blow!”

Qin Nan could not afford to conceal his ident.i.ty any further. He arrived above the Upper-Life Immortal Tree with a flicker.

He flung his sleeves, unleas.h.i.+ng a few dozen wisps of energy. They turned into giant hands grabbing at the fruits.

“This…”

The cultivators were dumbfounded.

No one had expected anyone to reach the Upper-Life Immortal Tree so quickly and take half of the fruits without any mercy.

“How dare you take so many of them for yourself? Aren’t you going to show any respect to me?”

A thunderous voice exploded in the rift.

The Exceptional Genius of the Nongyan Tribe, Zhu Yan with a powerful aura and eyes like lightning gathered pitch-black flames on his right arm before throwing a punch forward.

The s.p.a.ce around Qin Nan was infiltrated by the black flames within an instant. It had come to devour him specifically like a tiny realm of fire.

“Such a powerful flame, as expected from the Exceptional Genius of the Nongyan Tribe! However…it was nowhere enough to stop me!”

Qin Nan exclaimed. The Dao-Melting Immortal Flames burst out from his body.

Despite the outstanding capabilities of the black flames, they could not inflict any harm on Qin Nan.

“Are you…Qin Nan?” Gu Xiaoyao suddenly said.

“What?”

“Qin Nan is here?”

“He still dares to come?”

The cultivators were left in great astonishment.

Almost every faction that had become Qin Nan’s enemy had disciples here, and there were at least more than a hundred of them!

Even someone that had just become a Peerless Ruler would hesitate to take them on!

“Qin Nan? HAHA, the others had described how bold you are, but you surely lived up to the expectations now that I finally met you! I heard you have acquired a terrifying flame. Do enlighten me with it!”

Zhu Yan’s eyes flickered with excitement. He executed a secret technique and suddenly blinked to a spot not far away from Qin Nan within the blink of an eye.

“Everyone, listen up, kill Qin Nan at all costs!”

“We can’t let Qin Nan go even if it meant giving up on the fruits!”

“Tell the Great Elder what’s going on here, and intercept Qin Nan with the others with everything you have!”

The peak Heaven Immortals leading the cultivators of the Emperors Ancient Island, Ten Thousand Layer Immortal PaG.o.da, Extreme Living Gate, and the Wu’e Tribe immediately reacted and rose into the air.

“Kill!”

The rest of the cultivators collected their thoughts and uttered loud roars while performing various hand seals to execute Immortal Arts.

“It’s getting interesting.”

Gu Xiaoyao grinned. An ancient character surfaced on his forehead. He grabbed at the rift, leaving cracks in the air.

It felt like an ancient door had been opened. An ancient aura surged in all directions.

He did not dare to underestimate Qin Nan, whom many people believed his talents had outmatched Empress Feiyue, and had now reforged his Dao Foundation.

As such, he decided to summon the ancient authority to take on Qin Nan!

“Thousand Sun Strike!”

Qin Nan did not back away from the formidable attacks. He summoned the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron and poured his Immortal Force into it. Countess light dots acc.u.mulated at a point before lunging at the cultivators.

The rift began to shatter.

“Sky Taihuang: Dao-Jolting Saber Art!”

Qin Nan’s blood hair drifted wildly as he proceeded to execute another move. Strong will of Sky Taihuang burst forward, establis.h.i.+ng a domain under his control.

The saber in his hand was like the ruler of the area. Its incredible presence loomed over the cultivators.

“Boundless light of the sky, Northernmost Ocean Dragon King!”

Zhu Yan let out a roar. Wisps of dark blue flames engulfed his figure in the form of a heavenly dragon. Its enormous claws shattered the saber intents and went right at Qin Nan.

The cries of a dragon echoed across the place.

“Bring it on!”

Qin Nan’s eyes burst into white flames. He gathered the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames on his fist and threw it forward.

He was excited to fight the Exceptional Genius of the Nongyan Tribe. He could not wait to see which flame was stronger, his Dao-Melting Immortal Flames or the dark blue flames his opponent had unleashed!
