...Meanwhile, in the Martial Monarchs’ Tomb in the Wretched Disaster Forest...

Qin Nan's entire figure was emanating streams of monarch aura and flickering purple-golden rays, like an ancient godly beast breathing, dying the surroundings purple-gold.

BANG!

A deafening explosion took place on Qin Nan's body as the powerful gust swept into the surroundings and crushed the already messy path into pieces. Strong winds rolled in all directions.

"Such outstanding flesh!"

The mysterious young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, the five Martial Gods, and the thirty-six Martial Monarchs smacked their lips. They could clearly tell that Qin Nan had refined the monarch flesh, which was much more terrifying than normal Martial Monarchs' flesh.

Even a second-layer Martial Monarch would have trouble inflicting damage to the flesh.

Thud thud thud!

Suddenly, inside Qin Nan's body, the now purple-golden Divine Battle Destruction Monarch Heart pounded heavily, as if more than a thousand ancient giants were stomping across the ground!

Thirty breaths later, the sound of the heartbeats finally came to a stop.

The moment the sound stopped, streams of primary monarch force were produced rapidly, like a surging river that flowed into Qin Nan's heart. Within the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant river of monarch force that flowed endlessly.

Qin Nan's aura changed instantly from a firmly-standing tree to a magnificent mountain. It was as if each of his actions could stir the wind and the clouds, intimidating countless heroes.

"Is that…the sixth-layer Martial Monarch Realm?"

The mysterious young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, the five Martial Gods, and the thirty-six Martial Monarchs could not help but inhale deeply. The improvement from achieving the Martial Monarch Realm by oneself was far more terrifying than what they had imagined.

They initially thought Qin Nan would most likely have strength equivalent to the third-layer Martial Monarch Realm.

However, Qin Nan had only achieved the first-layer Martial Monarch Realm, but the monarch force he had was equivalent to the sixth-layer Martial Monarch Realm.

His strength was most likely even stronger.

Of course, the main reason for this was that Qin Nan had merged nine Martial Trees into one, obtained the power of the Canglan Tree from the pieces, and merged the two Dao Patterns.

"Finally, the Martial Monarch Realm!"

Qin Nan's eyes slowly opened. His face was filled with joy.

He had waited so long for this day.

From this moment onward, he could finally be considered an authoritative figure. He finally had the right to know the secrets of the Canglan Continent.

Furthermore, he could use his primary monarch force to save Jiang Bilan.

"Right, the primary monarch force! The copper mirror did mention that after I'd successfully achieved the Martial Monarch Realm, I could then absorb the primary monarch force to save Jiang Bilan. I should try it now!"

Qin Nan immediately withdrew his thoughts and sat on the ground with his Divine Battle Spirit unleashed.

After reaching the Martial Monarch Realm, he could use the Martial Spirit to absorb the monarch force. He no longer needed to absorb Qi with the Martial Spirit.

As the ninth-grade Tian ranked Divine Battle Spirit appeared, it unleashed a terrifying absorption force. It sucked the Qi inside the Martial Monarchs’ Tomb like a black hole.

"Mm? What's going on?"

Qin Nan was slightly startled.

Why was the Divine Battle Spirit still absorbing Qi instead of the monarch force?

"I've forgotten something important. Even though I've refined the monarch flesh, heart, and the force, I haven't been baptized by the Tribulation to obtain the approval of the Heavens and Earth, which would allow me to absorb the primary monarch force."

Qin Nan tapped his forehead as he realized something.

"Well, let the Tribulation begin now!"

Qin Nan withdrew the Divine Battle Spirit and took a deep breath. His gaze became sharp as he raised his head staring into the sky while activating the Divine Battle Destruction Monarch Heart in his body for the first time.

"Tribulation, isn't now the best time to descend?"

Qin Nan uttered with a thunderous voice as if he were doubting the Heavens.

He did not prepare any defensive precautions. He did not even draw out the Heaven-Shattering Saber.

The reason being that the Tribulation after reaching the Martial Monarch Realm was different from before.

Even though its power was still formidable, any ordinary Martial Monarchs could easily resist it. They would at most suffer some minor injuries.

To many people, the Tribulation of the Martial Monarch Realm was a mere interlude.

"Mm?"

Ten breaths later, Qin Nan started to frown.

Normally, when he challenged the Heavens and Earth like that, they would be infuriated and summon the Tribulation. Why wasn't there any reaction at all?

"The Tribulation of the Martial Monarch Realm is not appearing? Does that mean..."

The five Martial Gods and thirty-six Martial Monarchs were startled after seeing this. A sudden thought crossed their mind.

"Hehe, they reacted fairly quickly. Qin Nan, there's no need to try any further. The Tribulation won't be triggered, as they have altered the rules of the Heavens and Earth."

The young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion wore a cold grin. His eyes flickered coldly.

He was extremely disgusted by their doings.

"Senior, do you mean the Monarch Ranking, God Ranking, and the South-Heaven Gate? What do you mean by ‘altering the rules of Heavens and Earth’?"

Qin Nan glanced at the mysterious young man and asked.

"You're considered a half-Martial Monarch now, so I can tell you part of it, but not all of it. In simple words, the Monarch Ranking, God Ranking, and South-Heaven Gate have altered the rules of cultivation to prevent the Tribulation from descending upon someone who's trying to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm on their own."

The young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion explained.

"Not descending upon someone who's trying to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm on their own?"

Qin Nan's heart shuddered.

He never thought the Monarch Ranking, God Ranking, and South-Heaven Gate would be so powerful to be able to do something like that.

"Why would they do that?"

Qin Nan inhaled quickly as his eyes flickered coldly.

He could understand that the South-Heaven Gate treating him as an enemy.

But why would the Monarch Ranking and God Ranking do that to him?

If it weren't for the five Martial Gods, thirty-six Martial Monarchs, and the assistance from the Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the copper mirror, he would most likely have died to the will of the Monarch Ranking and the God Ranking.

Initially, he had only been suspicious toward the Monarch Ranking and the God Ranking.

Now he had a murderous intent toward them!
