Chapter 1378 - Self-Achieving the Martial Monarch Realm
"The kid, he's finally going to do it..."
Little Worm's eyes were fixed on Qin Nan.
Even as a Dragon God, he was feeling rather nervous too.
The outcome was simply too important. If Qin Nan were to fail, his effort until now would all be in vain.
"Qin Nan lost as expected."
The remaining doubt in the Martial Monarchs and Martial Progenitors' mind thoroughly dissipated when they saw Qin Nan's action. They withdrew their gazes and continued to spectate the battle between the authorities and the geniuses.
Obviously, Qin Nan was only heading for the Skyless Dojo as he had failed to become the successor.
As such, there was no need for them to waste their attention on a mere Martial Progenitor.
...Meanwhile, in the middle of the ongoing battle...
The Martial Monarchs whose cultivation had surpassed the seventh-layer Martial Monarch Realm left the Skyless Dojo and flew high up into the sky as they fought against one another. Within a few breaths' time, a huge part of the rift collapsed thoroughly and turned into void, resulting in an astonishing sight.
Those whose cultivation was lower than the seventh-layer Martial Monarch Realm flew into the air instead as they fought one another. From afar, more than a few hundred monarch glows flickered every breath in the air, like the flickering of stars in the night sky, combining into a great visual impact.
Meanwhile, the only ones left on the Skyless Dojo were Wan Yonggu's duo, Skyless Dojo's trio, Jiang Kongzhou, Li Qimo, Zang Xuanyun and the others.
"Heaven-Shattering Finger!"
Wan Yonggu's figure moved rapidly among the rain of monarch arts, as countless brilliant monarch glows gathered at the tip of his finger before he flicked it forward.
"Heaven-Sealing Chains!"
Sheng Tianjing uttered a roar as icy chains lunged forward from his sleeves, like ancient dragons dancing wildly in the air, shattering the monarch glows into pieces.
"Sheng Tianjing, you still don't want to use your three Martial Spirits? If that's the case, I'll force you to summon them!"
Wan Yonggu's figure suddenly expanded. His figure transformed into an ancient titan whose body was covered in countless runes within the blink of an eye and threw a punch at his target.
The punch seemed ordinary, yet the power it contained was utterly terrifying. It was one of the greatest art that the Monarch Ranking had, the Sky-Destructing Fist. Once its maximum potential was unleashed, it was able to destroy an entire space, an incredibly imperious move.
"Do you seriously I need the three Martial Spirits to defeat you? What a joke!"
Sheng Tianjing's eyes flickered with disdain as terrifying auras burst out from his body like tides.
He had only used half of his true strength since the start of the battle.
He was finally using his full strength.
"The unlimited possibilities of the Heavens and Earth, God Transformation Blow!"
Sheng Tianjing's voice was like the chime of a bell. As he performed a hand seal, his body was instantly covered in a godly glow, as if he had completely turned into a deity with a magnificent presence.
At that instant, everything had suddenly become dimmer in front of him.
However, an unexpected occurrence took place.
Buzz!
A deafening saber chime echoed in the entire dojo. An ancient saber with a tremendous presence descended from the sky. The might it unleashed simply shattered the godly glow and stuck into the ground at the center of the dojo.
"Who's there?"
Sheng Tianjing and Wan Yonggu were startled as their figures were knocked a few tens of steps back.
"Someone is interfering?"
In addition to them, Heng Wuduan, Zhuang Cidao, Su Qingning, Jiang Kongzhou and the others, and the Martial Monarchs and Martial Progenitors who were fighting one another immediately scanned the dojo with their Divine Sense.
"You two, and everyone else, it seems like there was a mistake."
A calm voice sounded, as Qin Nan's figure flew forward and landed beside the Heaven-Shattering Saber. His long robe drifted to the wind.
"Qin Nan?"
At that instant, Sheng Tianjing, Wan Yonggu, and the rest of the Martial Monarchs and Martial Progenitors were astounded.
None of them had expected that Qin Nan who was merely a Martial Progenitor would interfere.
"Qin Nan, just about time, lend me the Heaven-Shattering Saber, I'll let Senior Monarch Ranking know, and he'll reward you greatly."
Wan Yonggu was slightly overjoyed. With the Heaven-Shattering Saber, he would surely be able to defeat Sheng Tianjing.
"Qin Nan, I didn't kill you before at the Dragon Emperor Clan, yet you still dare to show yourself today. Die!"
Sheng Tianjing's gaze turned cold as he flung his sleeves. Several godly glows gathered into a terrifying killing blow.
"A mere Martial Progenitor dare to interfere with the battle. He's simply asking for his death."
The rest of the Martial Monarchs and Martial Progenitors shook their heads as they collected their thoughts.
However, another unexpected change took place. Six different auras flew out from the blue space on the other side of the sky.
"Young Master?"
"What's happening?"
The crowd of Martial Monarchs and Martial Progenitors immediately raised their heads and glanced forward when they sensed the six auras. However, their expressions changed tremendously following a glance.
They could see Xiao Yunjue, Wan Fenghun and the others in an extremely weakened state, each had a huge hole on their chest from which blood continued to pour out, dying their clothes red.
Aren't those six supposed to be fighting one another to become a successor?
How did they all suffer such a severe injury?
"Quick, someone stop Qin Nan! People of the God Beast Forbidden Ground, stop him at once! He has already become the successor of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain, we can't let him achieve the Martial Monarch Realm by himself, otherwise..."
Xiao Yunjue immediately used all his might to utter the roar.
"Stop? Successor? Achieve the Martial Monarch Realm...by himself?"
The Martial Monarchs and Martial Progenitors were stunned.
In the nick of time, as Xiao Yunjue and the others came with the astonishing news, Sheng Tianjing had finished executing the terrifying attack. It transformed into a godly sword over a few tens of zhang long, slashing at Qin Nan's head.
The attack was enough to kill a fourth-layer Martial Monarch, let alone Qin Nan.
BANG!
Following a loud crash, a brilliant saber glow burst into the sky and shattered the godly sword.
"What's happening?"
The eyes of Sheng Tianjing, Wan Yonggu, Heng Wuduan Zhuang Cidao, Su Qingning, Jiang Kongzhou and the rest of the crowd widened.
How could Qin Nan possibly nullify the attack so easily with his cultivation?
"I've already said it, you all have made a mistake," Qin Nan's expression remained calm as his hair drifted to the wind. His voice echoed between the Heavens and Earth," The one that's going to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm by himself, it's not anyone else, but me."
"It's...you?"
Wan Yonggu and Sheng Tianjing almost thought they had heard it wrong.
"That's right," Qin Nan raised his head staring at the crowd of Martial Monarchs and Martial Progenitors. A terrifying aura burst out from his body as he spoke, "Fellow cultivators, may I invite you to be my witnesses today? Tribulation of the Martial Monarch Realm, what are you waiting for?"
BANG!
Following the speech, it felt like a great lightning strike from the highest sky of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain, or even the highest sky of the half-God region, or the entire Canglan Continent had descended, shaking the entire world.
