Chapter 2281: Shocking Rise, Part One
Xue Mengyao, the owner of the title Master Rudao!
After she returned to the Primary Upper Realm, she did not go to the Undying Cycle Mountain with Qin Nan and the others. She chose to visit a terrifying ancient forbidden land in the Void Heaven Realm instead to train herself.
She did it because she had sensed danger.
Qin Nan's cultivation was improving at a shocking rate. As for the women around him, Empress Feiyue's case was self-explanatory, while Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilan both possessed something similar to the Flower of Eternity to make them stronger than cultivators of the same level.
Therefore, she felt the need to grow stronger too!
She just happened to have a successful breakthrough a few days ago. Not only was her cultivation close to achieving the Master Realm, she also figured out her own extraordinary path of cultivation after obtaining an outstanding succession.
She came immediately from the Void Heaven Realm when she heard the Battle of the Masters had been initiated. She had been hiding after learning the situation.
"Nine Dao Saber Art!"
Xue Mengyao continued to attack. Nine different ancient sabers rose into the sky from her back and stuck firmly into the rift in different directions.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Countless saber intents instantly burst out of them.
On top of it, a faint murmur of scriptures occurred, as if nine saints were sitting with their legs crossed to detain an ancient devil.
It was one of the successions Xue Mengyao had obtained while she was away. It possessed immense strength. Any other peak Master of Dao would not last for more than a hundred breaths.
"I didn't think Qin Nan would have so many lovers around him. He's a lot better than Zhou Di in this aspect."
Cang did not seem to be bothered. He performed a hand seal after his sarcastic remark.
"Flesh of the Heavenly Emperor!"
Sacred lights began to surge out from his body.
They were different from the Impenetrable Sacred Flesh's light. The latter was pure and untainted, but the former was imperious like it was far superior to everything.
Cang's flesh turned remarkably strong. No ordinary power could harm him.
"Formation of Eternity!"
Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilan performed a hand seal, causing their Flowers of Eternity to expand and resist the Heaven Highness Arts targeting them. The flowers went beside them and spun continuously.
A stronger Force of Eternity surged in all directions.
The three women had joined hands to keep Cang busy!
On the other hand, Heaven Highness Wuwang who was constantly backing away came to a stop and yelled, "Qin Nan, do you think you can erase my will with these petty tricks? You are surely underestimating me!"
Runes began to spread from his body.
A mystical power was released from them.
The runes started emitting a white mist which circled Heaven Highness Wuwang. It soon turned into an illusionary robe.
"The Origin Force?" Qin Nan instantly recognized the power.
He immediately felt his attack using the Three Seals of the Heart Ape had met an invisible barrier. Its effect on Heaven Highness Wuwang's will gradually declined.
"It's true that the power of will can only be stopped with another power of will!"
"However, the Origin Force is effective against every power!"
Heaven Highness Wuwang grinned.
As the reincarnation of an orb spirit, he had long refined the Orb of the Heavenly Emperor, granting him the Origin Force of one of the Small Immortal Realms.
Even though he only had a little time to absorb a portion of the Origin Force, it was plenty for him to protect his will.
Meanwhile, outside the Third Forbidden Area...
A figure was approaching like a phantom. Even though many terrifying existences were observing the battle, none of them was aware of its existence.
It was none other than Progenitor Mingchu's true self!
He had used a secret art to conceal his presence. It had a duration of three hours.
Two hours had passed since he used it. Only one hour left!
"Cultivator Qin Nan, I'll give you half an hour more. If you still can't save your Senior Brother, I'll have to take the matters into my hand," Progenitor Mingchu murmured while preparing himself.
It was tricky for him to kill Tang Qingshan quickly too.
The Supreme Haotian Badge was currently hovering above the Third Forbidden Area. There were also all kinds of rules established to restrict the strength of a Ruler of Dao.
On top of it, Cang would also have arranged Rulers of Dao to be on watch nearby in case something happened!
Little did Progenitor Mingchu know, on the other side of the Third Forbidden Area...
"Wutian, it's almost time, let's go inside," Moxie withdrew his gaze and said calmly while performing a hand seal.
"Understood!"
Demon Emperor Wutian performed the same hand seal.
He had waited a long time for this moment!
"The dark heavenly abyss with boundless laws of demon, the branches of dreams..."
The two chanted as their bodies were engulfed in illusionary flames consisting of demonic flames, dark flames, and Dao flames.
A few moments later, they both took out a black talisman and spat a drop of their blood essence on it.
Whoosh!
The ancient talisman shattered into pieces and released formidable power at them.
Their appearances, auras, and figures changed dramatically. They had transformed into two monks of different builds in Kasayas.
Their plan was to eliminate Tang Qingshan. It was necessary for them to put on a disguise to avoid Qin Nan from recognizing them. Otherwise, they would be punished even if Qin Nan did choose to refine the Flesh of the Immortal Demon.
They had paid a huge price just to achieve their goal.
"Let's go!"
Moxie flew out of the formation he was hiding in. Demon Emperor Wutian followed right behind him.
"Mm?" Zhou Xundao was startled.
Progenitor Mingchu who was hiding in the dark and the other Rulers of Dao immediately directed their attention at them.
"The Ancient Bodhi Temple?"
However, they quickly withdrew their gazes without paying much attention.
After all, the Battle of the Masters was initiated all of a sudden. It was reasonable for certain Masters of Dao to arrive late.
At the same time, a woman who was only in the Greater Success Stage of the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm managed to break through the forbidding auras with the help of an ancient lamp and sneaked her way into the Northern Battlefield before heading for the Third Forbidden Area.
