Meanwhile, the South-Heaven Sacred Ground...
"Chains of Underworld, break at the sound of the call, artifacts of the South-Heaven, heed my call!"
Heaven God Lu proceeded to perform a hand seal. Chains emerged from the hole on the South-Heaven Gate and immediately broke into pieces, as if a giant door was opened.
A total of thirty-three streams of terrifying aura burst out from the darkness and soared into the sky.
"This..."
The eyes of the authorities widened.
Their hearts felt a great chill running down their spines, as a shocking presence of danger originated from the thirty-three streams of aura loomed over the place.
"HAHA, I'm not the same as that idiotic spirit of the South-Heaven Gate!"
"These thirty-three artifacts that almost ascended as immortals in the past!"
Heaven God Lu uttered a deafening laugh, "Once my control extends deeper into the South-Heaven Gate, I will be able to summon the artifacts that have ascended in the past. I'll destroy you mere ants..."
Heaven God Lu completely revealed his fangs and his true personality. He finally showed the cultivators of the Canglan Continent his full disdain.
He was once an inner disciple of the Lu Clan in the Nine Heavens. His father was even an elder in Lu Clan with a superior status.
He was born with extreme pride.
However, he had been reserved for the past ten thousand years.
However, his expression changed tremendously before he could finish.
The thirty-three artifacts soon showed their true appearance. They included Copper Immortal Corpse, Blazing Flame Beast Bone, Incomplete Mystical Pagoda, etc.
Even though their auras were remarkably strong, they were suffering serious injuries and were trembling in fear.
The authorities were no longer worried after learning their condition.
"What happened?"
Heaven God Lu wore an unpleasant face.
"I'm quite disappointed."
The icy Empress Feiyue wore a faint, attractive grin.
Heaven God Lu was simply too full of himself. The fifth immortal was clearly setting something up deep inside the South-Heaven Gate. He should be relieved that the fifth immortal did not shatter all the artifacts into pieces.
"Artifacts of the South-Heaven, kill them all!"
Heaven God Lu collected his thoughts and clenched his teeth. He forcibly consumed his energy as a weapon spirit to assert control over the thirty-three artifacts.
ROAR!
The aura of the thirty-three artifacts recovered as they charged forward like some unstoppable warriors. Even though their current strength was only three-tenths of their full strength, they were still terrifying to the rest of the cultivators.
"What are you all waiting for? Qin Nan has brought you miracles after miracles. Do you really think he's dead?"
Empress Feiyue flicked her finger and summoned a snowstorm while snapping coldly at the Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the others.
The authorities immediately shuddered as a glimpse of hope flickered in their eyes.
As Empress Feiyue had mentioned, Qin Nan had already brought them many miracles. Why would someone like him die so easily?
"The Alliance Leader...is definitely still alive. We shall not back off until the very end!"
The Martial Serendipity Pavilion uttered a great roar as he transmitted his voice to his people.
A huge battle had erupted once again!
Meanwhile, deep inside the South-Heaven Gate...
The brilliant blue glow lit up the surroundings. It felt like lots of voices had appeared, as if several giant drums of the Great Dao were rolling.
Qin Nan did not even have time to react or ask the Divine God of Battle the questions he had. His body immediately went through a tremendous change.
First, his flesh, blood, and veins completely turned blue with an indescribable, overwhelming battle intent.
The strength of his flesh increased to a terrifying level. Qin Nan simply felt like there was no limit to his strength.
Even without using any god art, the strength of his flesh alone was enough to resist the attack of a peak Human God, or kill a peak Human God!
On top of that, somehow, Qin Nan had a strong feeling that it was only the tip of the iceberg of the true power his flesh possessed.
It was the same as the Heaven-Shattering Saber. Its flesh would continue to grow stronger as his cultivation improved.
However, there was one thing he was not sure of.
He assumed the flesh of the fifth immortal, the Divine God of Battle that merged with his body would have achieved the Earth God Realm, or even the Heaven God Realm .
However, the Divine God of Battle had been dead for ten thousand years. He had spent most of his power to attend to some matters, thus part of his strength was gone.
Buzz!
Qin Nan's eyes began to change too. An illusionary, blue flame was burning fiercely, as his pupils began to emit a golden glow.
The golden eye of the Divine God of Battle!
Not only was it able to see through everything, the overwhelming power it possessed was enough to turn the tide around and unleash powerful arts.
When the Divine God of Battle was at his peak, the golden eye of the Divine God of Battle was considered one of the ten strongest eye-techniques.
Even though Qin Nan only possessed less than a hundredth of its power, it would still come in handy as he fought against Human Gods, or even Earth Gods.
BANG BANG BANG!
Suddenly, an overwhelming force expanded rapidly in Qin Nan's Divine Sense.
Following it, the force shrunk rapidly and turned into a blue light dot.
The light floated in silence before it expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into a blue flower.
It had seven petals, each with mysterious runes. A blue aura was coming out of the tube, it even contained a mysterious force.
"Immortal...Immortal Root?"
Qin Nan was startled.
He once visited the Nine Heavens and learned about the Immortal Root when he was occupying Qiu Hong's body.
However, the Immortal Root in his Divine Sense was countless times stronger than the one in Qiu Hong's Divine Sense.
However, the Immortal Root continued to evolve.
Pitch-black runes began to spread under it, which seemed to be drawing the outline of a strange pattern.
The pattern did not have any word, yet for some reason, a name crossed Qin Nan's mind...
Ownerless Heaven Pattern!
"What's this?"
The transformation of his flesh, his eyes, and the Immortal Root was within his expectations, yet the Ownerless Heaven Pattern had totally taken him by surprise.
Before he had time to think about it, a formidable energy burst into the god force inside his dantian.
His aura immediately skyrocketed.
Eighth-layer Human God Realm!
Ninth-layer Human God Realm!
Tenth-layer Human God Realm!
His aura continued to rise. It had broken through a massive barrier within the blink of an eye. The god force inside Qin Nan's body evolved once again and achieved the Earth God Realm.
However, its rate of rising showed no sign of slowing down!
The Dao Flame and Dao Rune in his body slowly moved closer and merged into one under the influence of some unknown presence.
The transformation was still going on!
