Chapter 2322: Great Universe Sword Art
"Heaven Yin Art, turning the body into thousand elements!"
The middle-aged man and the woman had fought countless battles too. They soon executed a forbidden art, causing their bodies to crack into pieces to vanish into thin air.
"Crimson Emperor Saber Art!"
Qin Nan immediately unleashed thousands of burning sword intents to encapsulate them. To his surprise, the flames were ineffective against the forbidden art.
"The cultivators of the ancient era are not to be underestimated indeed!"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered. He executed the Sky-Stride Blow and appeared above the two cultivators right before they disappeared. He shoved his hand down.
"Power of Rules!"
BANG!
A mystical aura surged down at them.
"You are not..."
The middle-aged man and the woman immediately realized something, but they were crushed into pieces before they could finish the sentence.
The whole valley shook vigorously.
"Phew!"
Qin Nan let out a relieved sigh. The body he had occupied was too severely injured. He had consumed all its energy by forcibly using the Power of Rules.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan suddenly noticed a ring inside a pit.
A thought flashed across his mind, telling him it was the ring that Lin Xiaozhi had claimed which collected the succession of a Heaven Highness, and the reason why everything had happened. It was the Ring of Universe Heart Blood, the Universe Heaven Highness' natal artifact.
"This era is indeed very different. It's not difficult to find a Heaven Highness' succession, unlike the era I'm from..."
Qin Nan put the ring away and sat down with his legs crossed to absorb the immortal intent around him.
"The presence of immortal intent here is ten times stronger than the future. The barrier between the Small Immortal Realms are several times stronger too," Qin Nan thought.
Around half an hour later, his eyes sprang open. He had recovered four-tenths of the Master Force.
"Seal-Transforming Art!"
Qin Nan performed a hand seal. An energy ripple spread to the surroundings.
Xiang Yuan had taught him the art before activating the ancient altar.
They would not be sent to the same place after sending their will to the ancient era. The art would allow them to recognize one another.
"I shouldn't stay here for too long," Qin Nan murmured. He flew into the rift.
Three hours later, he went to an ancient mountain range. He discovered a secluded spot after a thorough search. He proceeded to set up defensive measures to conceal the place.
He sat down and performed hand seals while recovering from his injuries.
He was not in luck. The owner of his body was practicing an Art of Dao Seeking called the Heart-Splitting Sword Scriptures. The Master Arts and Dao Arts he had mastered were all related to swords too.
Qin Nan could modify them into saber arts with his Martial Skill Talent, but it was going to take him some time.
Qin Nan's main focus was to master the Art of the Immortal Demon.
Unfortunately, he did not have the Impenetrable Sacred Flesh for the time being, thus he was unable to improve it.
Time gradually pa.s.sed. A month was gone soon.
During this time, Qin Nan had fully recovered from his injuries. He had also mastered the first part of the Art of the Immortal Demon, allowing him to summon the Immortal Demon Realm and unleashed the Rules of the Immortal Demon.
In addition to it, Qin Nan also relearned the Battle Dao Immortal Ma.n.u.script and Arts of Dao Seeking such as the True Scripture of the Sky Taihuang to refine the Dao Pattern.
Qin Nan was a lot stronger than the original owner of the body, Lin Xiaozhi. However, he was weaker than when he was a peak Master of Dao.
"It's now the two-thousandth year of the Sacred Heaven Calendar. There are thirty-nine interesting things that occur in this year. One of them was the quest posted by someone called Dragon Island Heaven Highness. It happens to be in the Fifth Small Immortal Realm!" Qin Nan's eyes glittered after a slight ponder.
The reward offered by Dragon Island Heaven Highness was quite shocking.
He had offered to do anyone who could find the Four-Way Dragon Pattern three favors!
It was extremely useful for Qin Nan under the current circ.u.mstances.
After all, Qin Nan's cultivation was relatively weak. Zhang Yu'er and Huangpu Shaoqi were after him. He had also killed two Masters of Dao of the Dark Quicksand. It was unlikely the Dark Quicksand was going to forgive him.
On the other hand, the ancient era was different from the era he came from.
The two thousandth year of the Sacred Heaven Calendar marked the brightest era. There were lots of Heaven Highnesses and Rulers of Dao.
Dragon Island Heaven Highness' offer might give him three chances of guaranteeing his safety!
"There's only around a month left until Dragon Island Heaven Highness discloses the quest. I can use the remaining time to check out the Heaven Highness' succession," Qin Nan murmured. He inspected the Universe Heart Blood Ring with his thoughts.
BANG!
A formidable aura exploded in Qin Nan's Divine Sense.
An ancient voice sounded like it had traveled across time and s.p.a.ce, "I am Universe Heaven Highness. I have left the sword art that I've invented myself. If anyone can master the sword art, they would be able to activate the Universe Heart Blood Ring and become my successor."
A scene appeared after the voice.
In it, a white figure with a blurred face was holding an ancient sword. He was moving around and swinging the sword at a slow speed at first, but he gradually picked up his speed until it reached a terrifying level.
Even Qin Nan was struggling to keep up with it.
"Such a terrifying sword art!"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment.
It was only an illusion, but it felt like the sword intent had materialized, leaving his soul in awe.
Qin Nan quickly calmed his thoughts and focused on learning the sword art.
He must admit that the sword art was nothing like a normal Master Art or a Heaven Highness Art. Qin Nan had barely comprehended it after spending ten days learning it.
Qin Nan replaced the sword in his hand with a saber and executed the sword art.
Ten days later, the illusionary saber on Qin Nan's hand broke into pieces.
He had fully mastered the Great Universe Saber Art!
