Chapter 1620 - The Tide of Ascensions

Time gradually passed. A month was gone fairly quickly.

During this time, there were a few great incidents that happened across the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

First, the Nine Melodies Departing River of the Xuanpingtian Small Immortal Realm had fully opened, attracting countless cultivators to it.

Many Heaven Gods from the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm had departed for it too.

Second, in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm, both the Dragon Immortal Dojo and the Crimson Moon Water City that were classified as Immortal Ancient places had shown some reactions.

Among the thirty-three Small Immortal Realms, the Mundane World that was also classified as an Immortal Ancient Place in the Taiantian Small Immortal Realm was showing a reaction too.

In simpler words, including the Demon Ruler Mountain from before, five Immortal Ancient places would be accessible within a year.

"An Immortal Ancient place has fully opened, and four other places are about to open. The new tide of ascensions has arrived!"

"Mark my words, all Heaven Gods are to cultivate in seclusion right away! If they miss this opportunity, they will have to wait for another twenty years!"

"I have failed my attempt last time. I must succeed this time!"

"Many cultivators have gathered at the Nine Melodies Departing River of the Xuanpingtian Small Immortal Realm. I guess I should try my luck at other Small Immortal Realms!"

"The Demon Ruler Mountain suits me the best!"

In the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, among the Small Immortal Realms, thirteen Supreme Daoism Factions, a few hundred factions led by Peerless Rulers, and countless Martial Clans had given their orders.

Many rogue cultivators in the Heaven God Realm immediately went to explore forbidden places to make the final preparation for the battle.

In addition to it, since three Immortal Ancient places were about to open up in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm, many cultivators and factions from the other Small Immortal Realms were making their way to the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm too.

"Only five Immortal Ancient places are available, it's nowhere enough for me to ascend. I guess I'll have to wait longer."

Some extraordinary existence shook their heads.

Similar to Qin Nan, just a few Immortal Ancient places were not enough to let them ascend as immortals. They needed a bigger spectacle.

Meanwhile, a mysterious place in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm...

Empress Feiyue was wearing a white dress with black straps on her shoulders. Her eyes flickered with a shocking immortal glow as she looked into the distance.

"The three Immortal Emperors have brought Qin Nan to that place."

She murmured as she drew several Dao Runes with her fingers in the air.

"It is time to awaken the other Immortal Ancient places."

Below her, a hundred thousand Dao Runes immediately spread and formed an ancient formation.

At the center of the formation, countless Dao glows flickered as an ancient manual made of beast hide slowly materialized.

Meanwhile, the place of misery outside the law in the Supreme Cave Abode...

Intense clashes continued to take place like a series of thunderclaps.

Qin Nan had been fighting the skeletons for an entire month. He had slain four skeletons that had mastered the Four Extremities, and a few hundred other skeletons.

He was currently encapsulated by a shocking murderous aura. The dark, red aura within three zhang of him was now visible to the naked eyes.

On top of that, the god force in his body had reached the seventh-layer Heaven God Realm.

BANG!

A godly glow consisting of thirteen kinds of immortal intents sprang at Qin Nan at a shocking pace. Qin Nan immediately moved aside as soon as he detected it.

To his surprise, the godly glow was able to alter its direction too, landing accurately on Qin Nan's chest. It left a bloody hole, the size of a fist on his chest, causing him to groan in pain.

"Forbidden Taboo Flesh!"

Qin Nan mended his flesh and withdrew a few hundred steps away. However, his burning, golden eyes were staring forward still.

There were thirteen skeletons in front of him.

One of the skeletons was the owner of a Dao Crystal, and two other skeletons had mastered the Four Extremities. The god force that the remaining ten possessed was equivalent to the peak Heaven God Realm.

It was the strongest enemy formation he had encountered in a month. The battle had been going on for three days and nights straight, yet the outcome had still not been decided.

"I should eliminate the skeleton with the Dao Crystal first!"

Qin Nan's aura suddenly skyrocketed as the Heaven-Shattering Saber lashed forward at one of the skeletons that had mastered the Four Extremities.

ROAR!

Ten peak Heaven God Realm skeletons immediately lunged forward, executing a series of Immortal Arts to forcibly drive the Heaven-Shattering Saber back.

"Death Upon the Area!"

Qin Nan flicked his finger.

Two formidable saber intents immediately encapsulated two of the skeletons with Four Extremities.

The skeletons completely disregarded them. They waved their hands and immediately moved closer toward Qin Nan at the same time.

"Unstoppable Step, Destruction Battle Fist!"

Qin Nan let out a roar and summoned several figures throwing their fists forward.

After fighting for such a long time, his battle intent had already reached its limit, the same with his strength.

Even the ten Heaven God Realm skeletons were being suppressed when facing him directly.

"Shadow Illusionary Immortal Art!"

Qin Nan transformed into a shadow and appeared in front of the skeleton with the Dao Crystal. His hand slammed a seal onto its forehead.

An illusionary spirit emerged from the ground and stood still.

The Heaven-Shattering Saber slashing at the skeleton with the Four Extremities immediately flew toward the spirit as if it was being summoned.

White Flying Spirit Saber Art!

The skeleton with the Dao Crystal realized it had been set up. It quickly backed away while emitting a Dao glow, trying to eliminate the spirit.

Meanwhile, the two skeletons with Four Extremities rapidly came up and flanked Qin Nan.

"It's over!"

Qin Nan groaned. He vanished from his spot and reappeared above the skeleton with the Dao Crystal.

The spirit on his back raised the Heaven-Shattering Saber and slashed forward.

Qin Nan too slashed forward with his left hand.

BANG!

Even though the skeleton with the Dao Crystal was incredibly strong, it was unable to resist the two killing blows, and was shattered into pieces following a loud explosion.

The Seal of the Heavens and Earth appeared once again and went into Qin Nan's body.

Several wisps of magnificent crimson-red glow entered the god force in his body at a shocking pace.

Whoosh!

Meanwhile, two icy murderous intents approached Qin Nan from the back.

"I'll need to level up to the eighth-layer Heaven God Realm first."

Qin Nan stopped suppressing his god force with his will.

His aura rose rapidly once again, emitting an extremely brilliant god glow.

It was his plan all along. The skeleton with the Dao Crystal was not the strongest among the enemy, yet it was able to grant him the greatest benefits, allowing him to level up after killing it.

With it, he would then be able to kill the ten Heaven God Realm skeletons and the two skeletons with the Four Extremities.

After all, these skeletons were once strong cultivators when they were still alive. They still had a strong fighting capacity. If Qin Nan's god force was too weak compared to theirs, he would not be able to win against them.

"I've been trying to hold on for three days, it's my turn to fight back now!"

Qin Nan's blood hair danced wildly as the Crimson-Golden Battle Armor he was wearing emitted a blood glow as if he was a peerless God of Slaughter, most likely because of the influence of the Seal of the Heavens and Earth.

He did not waste any time. He punched forward and knocked two skeletons with the Four Extremities back.
