Qin Nan's aura skyrocketed as if he had just put on a demonic armor. Every living creature would tremble in fear subconsciously before him.
"Is that..."
Xiang Hun's eyes widened in disbelief.
Whoosh!
Qin Nan's Heaven-Shattering Saber rose into the air on its own. It gathered the intent of the twelve Arts of Dao Seeking and the power of bloodlines of the seven Heaven Highness Clans into a powerful slash.
Qin Nan moved right after it.
A vigorous energy flowed between one hundred and thirteen acupuncture points on his body as if an ancient demon was waking up inside him. A strong power gathered in his arm.
He turned it into a punch!
Xiang Hun covered himself in a sacred light which transformed into an ancient kingdom. It shifted rapidly over time like the different eras which it had lasted for.
It was the first ability Xiang Hun used!
BANG!
The whole palace shook vigorously under the pressure of the will, like it was undergoing a great calamity. The floors and the walls started cracking.
Li Yangfan was startled. She immediately performed a hand seal and summoned a great power to flow into the palace continuously and protect the palace.
"Zhou Di, I didn't expect not only did you reincarnate in such a short amount of time, but you also managed to trick Huangfu Jue to give you the Art of the Immortal Demon," Xiang Hun exclaimed.
He now understood why he did not betray Zhou Di even though he had a lot of opportunities to do it. He was utterly convinced by Zhou Di's capabilities in the past.
However, Qin Nan was only his reincarnation. He was not the real Zhou Di.
Qin Nan was far less capable than Zhou Di too!
"Zhou Di, you have exceeded my expectations, but what difference will it make? Your mastery of the Art of the Immortal Demon has only reached the level of activating a hundred acupuncture points. You couldn't even use the Rules of the Immortal Demon!"
Xiang Hun quickly calmed his thoughts. Purple lightning burst out of his body and spread across the palace.
Lightning of Judgment, the Punisher of all evils!
"You didn't possess the real Indestructible Flesh of Eternity either," Qin Nan chuckled. The Divine Battle Spirit floated behind him as his eyes burst into flames. He executed a series of Dao Arts.
"Haha, that's true, but I'm only a step away from it! Besides, do you seriously think the Art of the Immoral Demon is comparable to the Indestructible Flesh of Eternity? You can't even hurt me!" Xiang Hun was a little angry. Sacred runes appeared around him and strengthened him mystically.
He withdrew the sacred kingdom behind him and threw punches at Qin Nan like he was using the simplest form of attacks.
However, the force of his punches was terrifying. It shattered every Dao Art that Qin Nan had executed.
He was pushing forward like an unstoppable warrior.
"Fight!"
Qin Nan roared as his blood began to boil. He was fiercer when the situation was not in his favor.
BANG BANG BANG!
The whole place was drowned in explosions.
The impacts were so powerful that Li Yangfan had no choice but to enlarge the palace by expending more energy from the Heaven-Reaching Dao Tree.
It was not a problem for Li Yangfan, yet her heart sank as she watched the fight.
Xiang Hun's half-completed Indestructible Flesh of Eternity was almost unbeatable. It did not have any weaknesses. Qin Nan had been mixing feints with his powerful moves. Some of them had even surprised her, yet Xiang Hun managed to nullify them with force.
Xiang Hun kept pushing forward. He did not bother dodging Qin Nan's attacks.
There was not a single wound on him except for the cuts on his immortal robe which was most likely a Dao-Seeking Weapon.
In contrast, Qin Nan was covered in wounds. He was already soaked in blood. He barely overcame some of Xiang Hun's attacks which would inflict serious damage on him.
It was more of a one-sided fight instead of an equally matched one, like the fight between a Heaven Highness and the strongest ruler in the world.
Sharp pain and fatigue were swarming Qin Nan's mind to devour his focus and his soul.
Qin Nan ignored them. He only had a single thought in his mind.
How was he going to break through Xiang Hun's defense?
An ancient voice spoke in Li Yangfan's mind, "Yangfan, you should take Qin Nan away. There'll be wood to burn while the green hills last. There's still a chance in the future."
Li Yangfan bit her lips.
The ancient voice spoke again, "Don't bear any resentment, Xiang Hun is right. The current era is nothing like his era. Qin Nan might be the reincarnation of two Supreme Highnesses, but he's only Qin Nan for the time being. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Li Yangfan lowered her gaze, "I do."
She calmly performed a hand seal with both hands.
"Dao Pattern, suppress it!"
Qin Nan's hair drifted wildly while a mystical pattern left his body and gathered the will of the twelve Arts of Dao Seeking. It was as if a world was collapsing onto the area.
Xiang Hun's body sank under the enormous pressure.
"Slash!"
Qin Nan unleashed the full power of his acupuncture points. An illusionary demon realm even appeared in his mind to strengthen him.
The man, the saber, the soul, and the will had merged into one at that instant, resulting in an indescribable slash.
"Boundless Sacred Fist!"
Xiang Hun threw a punch forward.
BANG!
This time, even the sky above the palace darkened as flames, lightning and strong winds surged wildly.
Many looked up to observe the rare phenomenon, including Zhuang Nan who was covered in blood and lying on the ground after he was defeated.
