“Running away? Jiang Ni, aren’t you too full of yourself?”

Blue veins surfaced on Immortal Emperor Gus.h.i.+’s forehead. He transmitted his thoughts to the rest of the Immortal Emperors, “Everyone, we are running out of time, let’s secure at least a few of the Fruits of the Heavens and Earth!”

He had paid a huge price and even swore a few oaths to the Ancient Taboo. How could he possibly leave this place empty-handedly?

The other Immortal Emperors exchanged glances with one another and made up their minds. They stopped attacking the Exceptional Geniuses and headed for the Tree of Wonderful Fruit.

“What should we do now?”

The skeleton cultivators clenched their fists while their bodies trembled.

They had lost their chance to kill Qin Nan.

“Fall back!”

Their leader groaned while clenching his teeth.

If they stayed any further, death would be the only outcome for them.

However, as they were just about to leave, they suddenly froze in their spot when they noticed Jiang Ni, Lu Gufeng, and Meng Jinxian looking at them.

BANG!

Three ancient Immortal Arts in the form of three shocking rare phenomena loomed over them.

“Three-Soul Heaven-Concealing Art!”

The leader of the skeleton cultivators executed a mysterious art, turning himself into a strange glow that disappeared into the rift.

He had abandoned the others.

Meng Jinxian, Lu Gufeng, and the rest of the Exceptional Geniuses went after Immortal Emperor Gus.h.i.+ and the others instead.

They would not allow anyone to take the Fruits of the Heavens and Earth from them!

“Jiang Ni, even if you’ve become a Peerless Ruler, I’m still going to kill you!”

Zang Gu licked his lips as the murderous aura in his body skyrocketed like an ancient immortal. He proceeded to attack with a series of deadly blows.

“Jiang Ni, if you don’t act now, Immortal Emperor Gus.h.i.+ and his men are going to claim the Fruits of the Heavens and Earth,” Yin Yi said with a grin.

Jiang Ni simply glanced at him. He remained still in front of Qin Nan.

Yin Yi’s expression sank slightly.

He had failed in his attempt to kill Qin Nan. Once Qin Nan achieved the Peerless Ruler Realm, it was highly possible that he would want to get his revenge.

“This is bad!”

Yin Yi cursed as he slowly withdrew from the place and disappeared into the rift.

He had no choice but to hide in the darkness and observe the situation for the time being.

Apart from him, Lu Qingyin frowned too. Several thoughts quickly crossed her mind.

How could she stop Qin Nan from breaking through under the circ.u.mstances?

At that instant, a tremendous aura soared into the sky.

“Qin Nan is about to become a Peerless Ruler!”

It immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.

Doom, Xiu Shenliang, Wu Huisheng, the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, and Meng Jiugong who was in the city let out relieved sighs. They were immediately on alert too, in case someone tried to harm him.

In the end, Lu Qingyin and the others had no choice but to back away knowing that Jiang Ni and the others were protecting Qin Nan.

Qin Nan’s blood hair drifted in the air despite the absence of wind.

The immortal force of the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames was the first to undergo remarkable changes. Its strength multiplied, causing his aura to rise tremendously and shock the crowd.

BANG!

The invisible chains shattered following the loud cras.h.!.+

Wisps of mysterious energy cleansed his body. His aura of the Peerless Ruler Realm surged in all directions.

In addition to it, his Immortal Eyes of the Divine G.o.d of Battle, Crimson-Golden Battle Armor, Heaven-Shattering Saber, and the White-Blue Flower in his Divine Sense greatly evolved too.

The White-Blue Flower, in particular, had two extra petals, with mysterious runes on each of the petals that contained an aura resembling the void.

BANG!

The Divine Battle Spirit was changing for the first time too.

Its illusionary figure solidified as an overwhelming battle intent poured into Qin Nan’s body like a river. The trunk of his Tree of Dao began to glow brilliantly.

The Seal of the Divine G.o.d of Battle reacted for the first time too, as if it was being summoned.

“I didn’t know that as my Divine Battle Spirit is being awakened, it will further empower the Battle Dao Immortal Ma.n.u.script, thus my strength has greatly increased,” Qin Nan mumbled to himself.

On top of it, he also had a strong feeling that once he achieved the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm, the Divine Battle Spirit would finally show his true appearance, bringing insane benefits to him.

“Such an overwhelming presence!”

“He’s only at the Early Stage of the Peerless Ruler Realm, yet his presence was a lot stronger than a Peerless Ruler in the Greater Stage!”

The cultivators nearby exclaimed.

The successor of the Immortals was impressive indeed!

Qin Nan’s eyes sprang open.

“I don’t owe you anymore.”

Jiang Ni’s eyes flickered. He then went after the Immortal Emperor Gus.h.i.+ while unleas.h.i.+ng a tremendous sword glow.

“Let’s go!”

Immortal Emperor Gus.h.i.+ and the others were startled. They forcibly secured two of the Fruits of the Heavens and Earth and immediately withdrew from the place. They turned into rays of light and flew into the distance.

They were not necessarily afraid of Qin Nan, Jiang Ni, and the Exceptional Geniuses, but now that Qin Nan was done with his breakthrough, he might be able to keep them here for some time.

Once the Peerless Rulers of the five tribes showed up, they would have no chance to escape.

“Successor of the Immortal, tsk tsk tsk, how exciting it is? I so want to drink your blood! But now is not the time, we shall meet again!”

“Qin Nan, I won’t let you go next time!”

Zang Gu’s face was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with excitement. His murderous aura rose, yet he forcibly suppressed it. He went to Ling Xunxue and the Eleventh Young Master who were suffering from serious injuries.

His arms immediately unleashed a terrifying force as he grabbed at the two cultivators. His arms went through their chests.

He licked his lips and summoned an artifact before vanis.h.i.+ng into thin air.

He was on the Ancient Taboo’s side. Once the experts of the five tribes arrived, they would surely regard him as an enemy, thus he must leave when he still had the chance.

“The Ancient Taboo has lost this time!”

The cultivators under the mountain felt like they were dreaming as they recalled everything that happened.

“Qin Nan, did you know how close it was? If it wasn’t for me…”

“Humph, if I wasn’t here, you would have…”

Doom and the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor blurted out simultaneously.

Qin Nan waved his hand to silence them. He glanced at the Exceptional Geniuses and said, “We’ll talk later. It’s time to settle the debt now!”
