Peerless Battle Spirit Chapter 1431

Chapter 1431 - A Magical Change
Time gradually passed. Twenty-five days were gone within the blink of an eye.
On this particular day, the experts and geniuses of the three factions boarded their Human God Weapons and headed toward the Drought Demon Battlefield at a shocking pace.
It was necessary to make early preparations, as the moment the Drought Demon Immortal Tomb opened was the moment they would be ambushing Old Man Chan Ming.
Of course, Qin Nan was clueless about all these.
He was fully focused on cultivating. The Divine Battle Force in his body had increased from six streams at the start to one hundred and fifty-five streams now.
Each stream of the Divine Battle Force was roaming in his meridians like ancient battle dragons.
Although the Divine Battle Force did not emit any aura, the crimson-golden monarch force in his body was trembling as if it had encountered some terrifying foe.
"Phew."
A few hours later, Qin Nan's eyes sprang open as he let out a deep breath.
The Divine Battle Force in his body had now reached one hundred and fifty-six streams.
"I guess these many Divine Battle Force should be enough. Let's begin."
As the thought crossed his mind, a terrifying aura burst out from his body when he fully activated the crimson-golden monarch force.
"Flame of the Martial Monarch Realm, refine the immortal herb!"
Qin Nan flicked his finger, unleashing wisps of crimson-golden flames to land on each of the herbs, setting them aflame. Streams of pure, overwhelming energy flowed into his body.
"Divine Battle Force, two into one!"
Qin Nan directed the streams of Divine Battle Force to combine with the crimson-golden monarch force with his will.
He had once refined the pieces of Canglan Tree with his Martial Trees, thus he was fairly experienced with the process, allowing him to overcome the danger with ease.
Buzz!
Qin Nan's figure emitted a faint godly glow as a new force was born in his body.
At the same time, a strange feeling rose in Qin Nan's heart.
It felt like many things suddenly appeared in front of him. The rules of Martial Path, the rules of cultivation, the rules of power, etc.
Each one felt extremely familiar to him.
"If I'm able to comprehend the power and understand the strange feeling, it's likely that I'll be able to achieve the level beyond the Extremities."
Qin Nan murmured before his thoughts sank gradually.
It felt like his soul had left the flesh once again. He had arrived at a vast ocean in his spirit form.
He was weightless, yet he was sinking continuously. Every time he sank deep into the ocean, a strange force would bring him back to the surface. It repeated endless time.
Time gradually passed. Three hours later...
The various kinds of immortal herbs in the cave were burned into ash by the Martial Monarch Flames. They all turned into streams of tremendous energy flowing into Qin Nan's body like rivers.
The one hundred and fifty-six streams of Divine Battle Force thoroughly combined with the crimson-golden monarch force at the same time.
BANG!
A few tens of breaths later, brilliant rays of light burst out of Qin Nan's body, as a magnificent presence of the Martial God Realm swept the whole cave like a storm.
In addition to that, a stronger force rose inside Qin Nan's body.
At that instant, it felt like Qin Nan had pushed open a giant door after breaking free from some invisible chains.
Lots of ultimates blossomed in his mind like the bamboo shoots that had just experienced rain.
When a doubt was resolved, many more would find their answers too!
"So this is the so-called Ultimate of Cultivation. Every cultivator is in fact opposing the laws of nature the moment they start to cultivate."
"Every time a cultivator levels up, it's the same as challenging the great Dao. The breakthroughs are more challenging at higher levels, as the mountain of the great Dao is taller. Only those who are willing to change themselves and endure the pain..."
"The Divine Battle Force isn't limited by the Dao. If the two forces combined, it's neither following the Dao, nor the Martial Path. Its existence would be something that's beyond them, yet it still retained some of their characteristics. If cultivating is obstructing the laws of nature, then following the laws of nature would mean..."
It felt like Qin Nan had learned something, yet it felt like he had not fully grasped it still.
However, even that had allowed his thoughts to sink deeper into the ocean without being pushed back up.
Thud!
Somehow, it felt like a great bell was struck heavily, its chime echoed in the surroundings.
The godly glow emitting from Qin Nan's body and the outstanding force in his body rose rapidly as if he was having a breakthrough. They had reached a magnificent level within the blink of an eye.
If Qin Nan experienced a breakthrough now, his cultivation would level up to the peak Martial God Realm instantly.
On top of that, he would be a Martial God who had surpassed the Extremities.
He had touched the door of the next level.
However, in the nick of time, an unexpected change took place!
The new force inside his body contracted rapidly. It turned into the size of a stone, with a faint, blurry blue-golden rune on it.
The moment the rune appeared, a terrifying presence swept toward the surroundings like a tide.
The entire cave shook vigorously. It seemed like the Dao between the Heavens and Earth had become restless too.
"What's that?"
Qin Nan was astounded.
From what the copper mirror and he had speculated, his strength would evolve after he arrived at the doorstep of the next level, allowing him to rank up to the Martial God Realm. They did not expect any other change to take place.
Amid the confusion, the strong energy in his body rose rapidly. It was on the verge of evolving into god force.
The blue-golden rune and the thing with the size of a rock slowly dissipated, and was on the verge of dispersing completely.
"The blue-golden rune is still too weak. Its presence is not solidified yet. If I chose to level up to the Martial God Realm and complete the process, the blue-golden talisman would simply disappear..."
The thought crossed Qin Nan's mind.
It was a coincidence that he was able to probe the next level as he comprehended the Ultimate of Cultivation while combining the Divine Battle Force with the crimson-golden monarch force at the same time.
If he gave up now, it would be extremely difficult to level up next time. All his efforts until now would be in vain, and he might even suffer the consequences of canceling the process.
However, Qin Nan's instinct was strongly urging him that the rune was crucial to him. If he missed it now, he would completely lose the chance.
"Screw it!"
In the last second, Qin Nan clenched his teeth and used all his focus to suppress the force inside his body. The blue-golden rune returned.
He had given up on his chance to level up.
