Chapter 703 - The Howl of the Storm

The previously giant Divine Battle Spirit shrank after ranking up to the tenth-grade Di rank. It was now only three zhang tall. Besides that, its surface had a faint golden glow to it, causing its suppression to become even more terrifying.

“What just happened? c.r.a.p, a tenth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit! You have a tenth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit!”

The Martial Progenitors almost dropped their jaws seeing this.

A tenth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit was extremely rare and precious.

Only the top three on the Hidden Dragon Ranking had tenth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirits.

Even the two Martial Progenitors had only had ninth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirits before, but they were able to achieve the Martial Progenitor Realm with fortunate encounters.

“What? Is that strange?”

Qin Nan wore a grin.

“Err…”

For once, the Martial Progenitors were left speechless. It was true that Duan Qing had never mentioned that his Martial Spirit was not tenth-grade Di ranked.

“Cough cough cough, Duan Qing, you remember how kind we are to you, right? Once you claim the Heaven-Shattering Saber, don’t forget to help us out with the rare artifacts. Don’t worry, we’re happy not to take the remaining fifty thousand streams of Chaos Qi…” The eyes of the Disordered Ocean Progenitor were engulfed in flames.

With a tenth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit...

Achieving the Law-Defying Martial Highness Realm was no longer a dream!

Qin Nan did not say anything, but rather sat down with his legs crossed. The Divine Battle Spirit unleashed a terrifying force absorbing the Qi around him.

Begin cultivating!

“F**k!”

The Crimson Blood Progenitor could not help but swear.

This kid had immediately ignored their words.

The Disordered Ocean Progenitor wore a dull expression.

“Fine, we’ll give this kid some benefits later. We have to convince him to give us the rare artifacts.”

The Martial Progenitors made up their minds and went into seclusion.

At that instant, Qin Nan finally settled down and began his process of ranking up to the peak Law-Defying Martial Highness Realm.

It all came down to these last two months!

Time slowly pa.s.sed.

The Qi that Qin Nan was absorbing in the Sacred Emperor Chamber continued to transform into the force of the Martial Highness Realm at a terrifying rate.

The force of the Martial Highness Realm in his body had reached eight hundred and ninety-nine streams in less than five days.

“Ninth-layer…”

Qin Nan exhaled deeply without showing any joy on his face, but had a stern look instead.

There was only a little time left!

Meanwhile, as Qin Nan was cultivating in seclusion, a series of shocking events took place in the Eastern Continent.

The Trading Alliance was robbed once again, losing at least ten million Primary Stones worth of treasures, which was a greater loss than last time.

Furthermore, the culprits immediately revealed their ident.i.ties.

It turned out to be Sima Kong and Longhu!

Following this, Sima Kong and Longhu’s reputations skyrocketed, placing them at the nineteenth and twentieth ranks on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

The Leader of the Trading Alliance became enraged and sent out all the experts. However, they failed to catch Sima Kong and Longhu as they ended up joining the Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom.

Despite being furious, the Leader of the Trading Alliance was not willing to declare war against the Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom.

Most importantly, the Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom slowly became the focus of the other three factions. For some reason, more geniuses had begun to appear from the Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom.

A few days later, Yu Luosha of the Wanxiang Pavilion chased the Lone Eagle for three days straight and finally killed him.

Zhu Hang had been planning to improve his cultivation at a forbidden area, but stumbled into Yu Luosha as well. Surprisingly, he lost the fight and barely managed to stay alive.

Following this, Yu Luosha’s ranking on the Hidden Dragon Ranking was raised to the eleventh.

Besides that, Yang Gong’s cultivation had reached the Undefeatable Martial Highness Realm. He then had a duel with Wu Hao at the Dao-Seeking Mountain, which lasted for an entire day and ended in a draw. As a result, Yang Gong’s ranking rose to the eighth while Wu Hao’s dropped to the tenth.

The geniuses from the lower district began to s.h.i.+ne and earn their reputation.

That being said, there were a few other things that the people were concerned about.

Firstly, Duan Qing had left White Tiger City and had suddenly disappeared. Rumors said that he was cultivating in seclusion.

Secondly, the successor of the G.o.dly Exterminator, Tang Qingshan, had disappeared as well after the event at the Crimson Blood Ocean. However, cultivators of the upper district did spot terrifying saber intent in the third forbidden area and suspected it to be Tang Qingshan training himself there.

Meanwhile, the top three geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Ranking were a heavy focus of the cultivators too.

However, the same as before, the top three geniuses never showed themselves. Their whereabouts remained a mystery.

...Meanwhile, in the Demonic Eyes Forest, the Sacred Emperor Chamber...

Qin Nan sat on the ground with the Divine Battle Spirit floating behind him. The Qi surrounding him surged into his body like waves in an ocean, resulting in an astonis.h.i.+ng sight.

On the thirteenth day, Qin Nan’s cultivation had improved to the tenth-layer Martial Highness Realm.

The force of the Martial Highness Realm inside his body had grown to nine hundred and ninety-nine streams.

Currently, it was the twenty-fifth day since he had gone into seclusion.

“Undefeatable!

“What does being undefeatable mean?

“No worthy opponent among the cultivators of the same realm!”

Qin Nan’s mind never stopped comprehending as his body continued to absorb the Qi.

As he had formed the Martial Highness Crystal, he had no problem ranking up in the Martial Highness Realm. However, he began to have trouble when it came to the Undefeatable Martial Highness Realm.

Whoos.h.!.+

Qin Nan’s eyes sprang open.

“Nine hundred and ninety-nine streams of the force of the Martial Highness Realm is the limit for ordinary people!

“Going over the limit and reaching one thousand streams is perfection!

“Perfection means being undefeatable!”

As the doubts were cleared, the barrier was broken.

The Qi that Qin Nan had absorbed was entirely devoured by the Martial Highness Crystal. Following an explosion, the one thousandth stream of force of the Martial Highness Realm was born, giving Qin Nan an undefeatable aura.

Even though it was only a single stream extra, the difference in strength was incredible.

Even five peak Martial Highnesses would not stand a chance against an Undefeatable Martial Highness.

“What’s next after undefeatable would be law-defying!

“What does it mean by law-defying? Breaking the limit, reaching beyond perfection...is law-defying!”

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered thunderously.

The others would have difficulties trying to achieve the Law-Defying Martial Highness Realm, but it was not too much of a problem to Qin Nan.

The existence of the Martial Highness Crystal was law-defying to begin with!

“Absorb!”

Qin Nan let out a roar.

It was as if the Divine Battle Spirit was influenced by his emotions. The absorption force from it increased further, shocking the two Martial Progenitors. On top of their amazement, they could feel their hearts aching too. Duan Qing, you a.s.shole, at this rate, how much more Qi are you going to absorb?

BANG BANG BANG.

A series of explosions took place inside Qin Nan’s body.

The Martial Highness Crystal shuddered violently as it sucked all of the Qi, as if it was roaring at the Heavens.

ROAR.

The one thousand and first stream of the force of the Martial Highness Realm was produced.

A law-defying aura was unleashed from Qin Nan’s figure.

However, this was only the beginning!

The Divine Battle Spirit continued to absorb the Qi crazily and the force of the Martial Highness Realm continued to rise!

As if it was heading for the endless peak!
