Chapter 1417 - Battle With the Gods
"Destruction Will, crushing all things into pieces!"
A brilliant black light burst out of Qin Nan's body like an erupting volcano, surging in all directions.
The force approaching him and the two Soul-Sealing Spikes were completely destroyed.
"You dare say that your mere monarch intent is able to crush everything into pieces?"
Martial God Xueshou, Martial God Fenhun, and Martial God Cangyi unleashed wisps of outstanding god intent as they performed various arts, penetrating the black light.
Regardless of how powerful Qin Nan's cultivation as the top Martial Monarch of all time was, he was just a Martial Monarch after all.
Those in the Martial God Realm had mastered the god intent by merging their power with the rules of cultivation. By nature, it was nothing that the Martial Monarch Realm stood a chance against.
Besides, Qin Nan was not only facing a first-layer Martial God, but three second-layer Martial Gods.
"Destruction Battle Saber!"
Qin Nan was not bothered by the remark. His battle intent rumbled while his figure soared into the sky and attacked as if he had turned into an ancient golden Peng.
He had fully utilized his strength, including his left eye of the Divine God of Battle, Unstoppable Step, the left arm of the Divine God of Battle, etc., granting him a remarkable strength that he never had before.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
A succession of shocking explosions took place in the sky.
Even though Qin Nan's battle against the three Martial Gods was not as spectacular as the battle that the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the others were fighting, the cultivators at the scene and the others spectating the fights through the Mind-Linking Boulder were all watching Qin Nan instead.
Their minds continued to experience a great shock as they watched the fight.
As time gradually passed, even though Qin Nan's figure seemed minuscule and it looked like he was at a disadvantage in the fight, their faces were filled with great astonishment.
"How is this possible!"
"He's holding the three Martial Gods off by himself?"
"If they only had one or two Martial Gods, doesn't that mean Qin Nan would be able to defeat them?"
Some of the ancient Martial God Realm experts reacted the same way.
Even though it had only been a few dozen breaths' time since the battle had started, it was already legendary for a peak Martial Monarch to be able to survive for more than five breaths when fighting a first-layer Martial God.
However, regarding what Qin Nan had just done, even Empress Feiyue from eight thousand years ago was unable to do so, let alone the other reputable cultivators in the past.
"HAHA!"
Little did everyone know that Qin Nan was already bursting out laughing in his heart when he was facing the great pressure from the three Martial Gods.
He was able to fully utilize his strength and cultivation when fighting strong opponents, making his blood boil thoroughly. It was definitely a very pleasant feeling for him.
"What a pity, time is running out. Otherwise, I would fight until the end."
Qin Nan shook his head. The Heaven-Shattering Saber in his hand buzzed slightly. Its glow was a lot dimmer as if a cold bucket of water had been poured onto it.
"As we thought, that guy's monarch force is running out!"
The eyes of the three Martial Gods immediately flickered.
"Merging of the cultivation, Sky-pole Blood Fist!"
Martial God Xueshou uttered a roar. His arms like blood suddenly grew a few hundred times larger, like a giant mountain the color of blood. It tore the saber intents into pieces and rammed toward Qin Nan at an incredible pace.
"Crap!"
Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain were startled.
BANG!
However, before they could interfere, they heard a loud crash. The space was shattered into pieces, from which Qin Nan's figure was launched like an arrow being fired.
In addition to that, a series of explosions sounded from Qin Nan's figure. His long robe was dyed red by the fresh blood.
His tremendous aura completely vanished.
"He was hit!"
The cultivators were astounded.
"Taowu Soul-Sealing Spikes!"
{TL Note: Taowu is an ancient beast in Chinese mythology.}
Martial God Fenhun and Martial God Cangyi both unleashed a tremendous glow as they arrived before Qin Nan. They opened their mouths and spat out six drops of pitch-black blood. The blood drops were set aflame, burning vigorously before they turned into six giant spikes with patterns of Tao Wu on them that penetrated Qin Nan's chest.
ROAR!
Six enormous, illusionary figures of Tao Wu appeared. They opened their mouths wide and tore at Qin Nan. His crimson-gold monarch glow dissipated like a tide.
Suddenly, Qin Nan's presence was no different than a commoner.
The Taowu Soul-Sealing Spikes were scarier than the Soul-Sealing Spikes from before. Not only were they able to seal off Qin Nan's monarch force, but if any external force tried to remove them, Qin Nan's soul would suffer a great blow, leaving him in extreme pain.
Qin Nan would suffer serious injuries even if the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the others tried to save him.
"He's finally about to be defeated!"
The cultivators inhaled deeply as the huge rocks in their hearts landed on the ground.
If the three Martial Gods failed to take Qin Nan down, it would be too much for them to accept.
"Take Qin Nan and fly into the east at your fastest speed!"
The Yin and Yang Taoist wore a stern look as he saw it happen. He quickly transmitted his thought.
He had mastered the Art of Yin and Yang, allowing him to peek at the secrets of the Heavens. He was well aware that a peerless genius like Qin Nan would not be captured so easily.
It was necessary to be more cautious at crucial times like this. They simply could not lower their guard.
"Acknowledged——"
The three Martial Gods swiftly reacted and prepared to make their moves.
"Die!"
In the nick of time, an icy voice suddenly appeared as an utterly terrifying sword glow slashed at the three Martial Gods as if it had come from the Nine Heavens, traveling across the boundless rift.
"Back off!"
The three Martial Gods were stunned. They immediately activated powerful God Arts and flew into the distance.
The sword glow was equivalent to the attack of an eighth-layer Martial God. It was not something they could handle.
Whoosh!
Under the crowd's gaze, the formidable sword glow suddenly transformed into a giant magical sword placing Qin Nan inside it.
"Let's go!"
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the Martial Serendipity Pavilion turned into two rays of light and went inside the sword.
"Stop them!"
The Yin and Yang Taoist shuddered and snapped.
It had now been over twenty breaths since the battle had startled. If they were able to delay their enemy's escape for a few more moments, the South-Heaven Gate, God Ranking, and Monarch Ranking's power would arrive soon.
When that happened, they could then secure the victory!
"Martial God intent, burn!"
Martial God Hongye and Martial God Xunjue uttered thunderously as they began to burn their god intent and unleash the maximum potential of the South-Heaven God Talismans, etc.
Once the talismans were activated, they would be able to establish the South-Heaven Godly Curtain and the Realm of the God Monarch. Regardless of how outstanding the sword was, it would take more than a few breaths' time to break free from the entrapment.
"Until next time!"
Following the Seven Luminaries Sword Spirit's voice, the enormous sword vanished into thin air.
It was the third time the sword had teleported away!
