Meanwhile, the middle section of the Liuhuang Battleground...
A few hours later, Qin Nan came to a stop. He turned his head and saw the Blood-Eye Earth God approaching him rapidly from the distance.
"Qin Nan, I discovered a land of treasure ahead. It has quite some fascinating stuff, but I need you to boost my eye-technique."
The Blood-Eye Earth God said directly without wasting any time.
The land of treasure was remarkably dangerous. Even his Blood-Eye could not guarantee his safety. However, with Qin Nan's help, he would have a ninety percent chance to succeed.
"Oh? Let's hurry over then."
Qin Nan's eyes glittered.
The two immediately flew into the distance and came to a stop after the period it took three incense sticks to burn.
Around three li in front of them was a river like an enormous dragon. Its water was rolling fiercely with a spectacular force. Ordinary Human Gods were unable to get close to it.
Qin Nan activated the Golden Eyes of the Divine God of Battle and immediately saw a confined land at the bottom of the river.
The land was eerily red, covering a distance of a few tens of li. Strange, unique plants were growing out of it, each emitting a shocking immortal intent.
These plants were even stronger than the fiery tree he stumbled into before!
"Qin Nan, when I execute the Blood-Eye Art, apply your eye-technique on my hands, only then will we be able to overcome the formation inside the land..."
The Blood-Eye Earth God said.
However, before he could finish, he looked into the distance with a frown.
Qin Nan too turned his head in the direction as if he had noticed something.
Eight blinding, godly rays were approaching them at a shocking pace.
These cultivators had reached the fourth-layer Earth God Realm. They were wearing similar attire, as if they had come from the same world.
"They must be the disciples of the South World Immortal Emperor."
The Blood-Eye Earth God transmitted his voice.
"South World Immortal Emperor?"
Qin Nan was startled.
"Huh?"
The eight cultivators soon came to a stop with startled looks.
They obviously did not expect to see someone here.
Does this mean they aren't the only ones with the map? Someone else has it too?
"Aren't you...Qin Nan?"
The eight cultivators quickly collected their thoughts when they saw Qin Nan. Isn't this the impressive guy that offered fifty-eight Liuhuang Rocks at Liuhuang Heavenly River?
Qin Nan nodded slightly before he applied the power of the Golden Eyes of the Divine God of Battle on the Blood-Eye Earth God's hands and transmitted his voice, "Senior Blood-Eye, go and secure the treasure. Leave them to me."
The Blood-Eye Earth God was aware of Qin Nan's capabilities. He activated the Blood-Eye Art and went into the river to solve the formations of the land in it.
"Qin Nan, we'll make it clear, let's split the treasure in half."
The young man leading among the eight cultivators said smilingly, "On top of that, tell us how you fish the Liuhuang Rocks too."
"And we'll pretend that we didn't see you two today."
The other seven grinned upon hearing the words. Their eyes flickered vaguely with greed.
As the inner disciples of the South World Immortal Emperor, they were able to tell that the old man with Qin Nan was a half-Heaven God.
In other words, their strength was a lot weaker than Qin Nan and the Blood-Eye Earth God.
However, they were not intimidated in the slightest, but were actually confident they could get what they demanded.
After all, Little Peng Emperor Wan Xiao was still on the hunt for Qin Nan. The inner disciples of the three Supreme Daoism factions, and several Heaven Gods and Earth Gods were looking for Qin Nan too.
Qin Nan would surely agree to their conditions to avoid exposing his whereabouts.
"You have five breaths' time to swear an oath and leave this place. Otherwise, I will show you no mercy."
Qin Nan's right arm exploded into the Heaven-Shattering Saber. His face remained expressionless.
A bunch of inner disciples of a Peerless Ruler is trying to threaten him?
"Hehe, stop trying to threaten us, we are the inner disciples of the South World Immortal Emperor. If you dare harm us, it means you're simply challenging..."
The eight cultivators uttered a hollow laugh.
They would occasionally stumble into Heaven God Realm experts at times, but the Heaven Gods would not dare to target them as they were scared of their background.
Besides, Qin Nan was only an Earth God.
"Is that so?"
However, before they could finish, Qin Nan interrupted in a calm voice. He gathered the Destruction Will and formed a giant fist punching at one of the cultivators.
"You..."
The eight cultivators were shocked.
They did not expect that Qin Nan would seriously attack them.
"The half-Heaven God is solving the formations. He won't have time to bother us for now. Let's strike together and suppress Qin Nan first!"
Although the eight cultivators were incredibly smug, they were aware of the situation too. They immediately made up their minds within the blink of an eye.
Their gaze toward Qin Nan turned cold.
"I alone can handle him!"
The cultivator who was speaking previously was the first to attack. He executed an Immortal Art, which seemed to have turned him into a deity of the river, controlling the water to devour Qin Nan.
He was the strongest among the eight cultivators, as he had achieved the fifth-layer Earth God Realm, and mastered three of the Four Extremities.
As such, he was extremely confident that he only needed a single move to suppress Qin Nan.
Buzz!
They only heard the buzz of a saber before the water completely disappeared.
Qin Nan descended upon the cultivator like an ancient beast and stomped his head.
BANG!
Strong Destruction Will burst down and slammed at the cultivator.
The cultivator was astounded. He immediately executed several Immortal Arts, and took out artifacts, talismans to protect himself.
However, these Immortal Arts, artifacts, etc. were shattered into pieces.
His figure slammed into the ground amid a painful cry as if he had received a tremendous blow.
"This..."
The remaining seven cultivators were stunned.
Qin Nan's aura was only in the third-layer Earth God Realm, yet how did he crush their Senior Brother with a single move?
