Chapter 1425 - The Arrival of the Human God
Meanwhile, at the mountain top...
Unlike the foot of the mountain, the mountain top had a giant lake emitting a terrifying, icy aura. If anyone weaker than the peak Martial Monarch Realm came close to the lake, they would be frozen instantly, totally losing their life force.
"Jiang Dingshan, Yang Bailong, even the two of you teaming up won't stop me!"
A sixth-layer Martial God Realm young man in a mystical robe with three scars on his forehead and eyes like lightning let out a roar, unleashing obscure godly runes from his body.
"Han Mingli, you're too full of yourself!"
The eyes of the other two young men who had similarly achieved the sixth-layer Martial Monarch Realm were filled with anger. Their figures moved around magically as they constructed a formation and executed two ancient God Arts simultaneously.
"Kill!"
The rest of the Martial God Realm experts attacked with their God Arts.
Even though there were only around twenty people here, less than three-tenths of the number of cultivators on the dojo at the foot of the mountain, the fight at the mountain top was a lot scarier. The power that was unleashed every second could kill a few Martial Monarchs.
If the place was not covered by a strong godly force, their fight would make the whole mountain tremble and collapse.
Han Mingli, Jiang Dingshan and Yang Bailong were stunned. The rest of the Martial God Realm experts were startled too as they sensed something.
They saw several lines penetrating the force surrounding the place and the icy aura, flying straight at the purple-golden pendants.
"Some Martial Monarch at the foot of the mountain is targeting the pendants?"
No one had expected something like this to happen all of a sudden.
"How bold!"
Han Mingli and the other two young men were the first to react. They immediately prepared themselves to execute several God Arts.
BANG!
Suddenly, the lines broke into pieces and turned into Destruction Sabers surging in all directions.
"An art inside an art? A mere little trick..."
"Crap!"
Before they could finish, Han Mingli and the others discovered that the remaining three lines had wrapped around the purple-golden pendants and flew out from the lake at a shocking pace.
The art inside art was not targeting them. It was just to distract them.
"The pendants are taken away?"
The Martial God Realm experts were greatly astounded.
Even if they teamed up, it would take them some time to break through the force surrounding the place, let alone trying to go pass with brute force. How did the wisps of monarch force do it?
"Qiu Hong? It's him?"
Han Mingli and the others immediately focused on the dojo at the mountain foot and saw Qin Nan. They were stunned for a moment before they unleashed their god force and uttered thunderously. Their voices exploded in the sky, "Qiu Hong, you have one last chance to hand over the purple-golden pendants!"
They were not curious about how Qiu Hong managed to secure the pendants. There were simply too many extraordinary methods in this world.
"He managed to secure the Drought Demon Purple-Golden Pendants too?"
The Martial Monarchs at the foot of the mountain were greatly astonished.
They never thought Qiu Hong would do something like that after he had secured the fifteen Drought Demon Red Jade Pendants.
Isn't he acting a bit too bold?
"It doesn't belong to anyone before, why should I hand them over? See ya."
Qin Nan wore a calm smile. Under the gaze of the Martial Gods and Martial Monarchs, he turned into a ray of light and left the dojo, flying into the distance.
There were around twenty Martial God Realm experts at the mountain top after all. On top of that, everyone was at least a third-layer Martial God. He had to leave the place at once as a safety precaution.
"Senior...Senior Brother!"
Xu Dongjue who suffered a powerful blow immediately yelled, "Qiu Hong has taken away the fifteen Drought Demon Red Jade Pendants too!"
"What?"
At that instant, even Han Mingli and the others were dumbfounded.
Doesn't that mean Qiu Hong has taken all the pendants?
When the Drought Demon Immortal Tomb opened, how are the people of their three factions going to compete for the succession?
"Master, elders, something happened when we tried to secure the pendants..."
Everyone, listen up. Use all you have to break free from the barrier, and hunt Qiu Hong down with everything you got..."
Han Mingli was the top genius among the three factions. He collected his thoughts and gave the order within the blink of an eye.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Not long after, various monarch and god glows were unleashed. The forces covering the mountain foot and the mountain top shook vigorously.
Time gradually passed. A hundred breaths later, outside of the Drought Demon Battlefield...
Qin Nan flashed across the sky. His speed was on par with a second-layer Martial God.
Suddenly, he slightly shuddered as he felt like an invisible eye was watching him out of nowhere.
"They managed to track me down even when I'm so far away?"
Qin Nan was shocked.
It seemed like the geniuses in the Nine Heavens were more capable than he thought.
"They are going to catch up at this rate. Besides, the experts from their factions would be making their way here too. I'll have to find a place to hide."
The thought crossed Qin Nan's mind.
He did not have the Heaven-Shattering Saber with him, hence he was unable to break the invisible seal that was placed on him. He had to come up with some other plan.
"That will do."
Qin Nan soon made up his mind and flew in another direction.
A few tens of breaths later, Han Mingli's voice traveled across the distance and appeared in Qin Nan's mind with the help of an ancient forbidden art, "Qiu Hong, you have no chance..."
"That's enough."
Qin Nan unleashed his monarch force and rejected the voice.
"It's here."
A few moments later, Qin Nan gradually slowed down. Before he stood the eerie, pitch-black woods that he discovered before.
Judging from the place's aura, even the Martial God Realm experts or stronger experts would have a hard time finding him in the woods. He would have a higher chance of surviving.
However, his expression changed as he sensed something right as he was flying into the woods.
BANG!
The rift within a few hundred li entirely collapsed as if it had received a terrifying blow. A strong gust like a vast ocean surged in all directions.
One after another terrifying aura erupted from deep within the rift like volcanoes. The sky trembled due to their presence.
The auras had surpassed the Martial God Realm. They were in the Human God Realm that Qin Nan had never witnessed before!
"Ignorant prick, die!"
