ROAR!
It was not the end yet. Terrifying roars sounded from each of the dojos.
Boundless blue rays rose into the air and transformed into many terrifying beasts that flew toward the Seven Luminaries Flying Sword.
BANG BANG BANG!
The Seven Luminaries Flying Sword flickered and slashed at the beasts, shattering them into pieces.
The sword alone had suppressed all the incoming attacks.
"How is it possible for the sword to possess such formidable strength?"
The ancient existences and the rest of the crowd were astounded.
The twenty mirrors were refined by the South-Heaven Gate, God Ranking and Monarch Ranking, each maintained by a Martial God Realm expert. The force that was required to activate the formation had reached an unimaginable level.
As for the dojos, they were nothing ordinary either. They were reforged by the South-Heaven Gate and the God Ranking.
Even the South-Heaven Gate, God Ranking, and Monarch Ranking were shocked.
They had witnessed the strength of the sword before, thus they clearly knew that the sword was only slightly stronger than a Martial God Weapon.
How would it possess such a remarkable strength now?
"However, even with the strength that the sword has displayed, why did it only appear after the God Horoscope Contest had started? Regardless of its strength, there's no way it can go inside; if it came slightly earlier..."
Many ancient existences were confused instead of feeling any joy.
As everyone knew, both the Monarch Horoscope Contest and the God Horoscope Contest were held in a unique, confined space.
The space was constructed by the Monarch Ranking and God Ranking through modifying the rules of cultivation in the Canglan Continent. As such, everyone inside the space had to obey their rules.
For example, entering the space within an hour.
If they did not arrive in time, the God Horoscope Contest would have started. No matter how formidable a person's cultivation was, there was no way they could barge into the space.
Even those that possessed the power to control the rules of cultivation would require a great effort to tear a gap open forcibly.
"Die!"
At that instant, three thunderous voices snapped as three magnificent rays burst out from the twenty mirrors. The rays turned into three enormous figures and attacked the Seven Luminaries Flying Sword.
They were the wills of the South-Heaven Gate, God Ranking, and Monarch Ranking
"One life, one world, one sword, one immortal!"
The Seven Luminaries Flying Sword emitted sword glows as white as snow which accumulated at its tip and slashed at the Martial God Door. The single slash surprisingly slashed open the invisible barrier.
The sword completely disappeared under the crowd's gaze.
"How is this possible!"
"It managed to break its way into the God Horoscope Contest!"
"What kind of power does the sword possess? To be able to go so far!"
The ancient existences, the Martial Gods of various factions, and the Martial Monarchs could not believe what they had just seen.
"What just happened?"
Even the South-Heaven Gate, God Ranking, and Monarch Ranking were dumbfounded.
Apart from them and the primordial rules of the Heavens and Earth, no one in this world could possibly control the rules of cultivation.
Could it be that the sword's strength had surpassed the limit of the Canglan Continent, surpassed the Martial God Realm, and achieved an even scarier level?
"Interesting, the sword's strength has achieved such a height!"
On the ancient vessel not far away, the cultivators from the Nine Heavens were startled, their eyes flickered in astonishment.
They did not expect to stumble into such an artifact with such remarkable strength in the lower realm.
However, little did they know...
The Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries had only acquired the strength after receiving Empress Feiyue's help in secret. She helped the Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries to rank up to the next cultivation level.
On top of that, she also taught the Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries a new move.
Besides, they had only appeared after the God Horoscope Contest because Qin Nan wanted the ancient existences and the rest of the cultivators to see that...
The South-Heaven Gate, God Ranking and Monarch Ranking were not able to stop them!
"Qin Nan and his crew have entered the God Horoscope Contest!"
The ancient existences who once supported Qin Nan soon collected their thoughts with excitement.
The eyes of the cultivators who secretly had hopes in Qin Nan flickered with joy too.
Most importantly, not only did Qin Nan make it into the contest, judging from the strength that the Anti-Heaven Alliance had displayed, it was likely that Qin Nan had a chance to oppose the South-Heaven Gate after he achieved the Martial God Realm!
There was a high chance that they could break the seal that had lasted for over a few dozen thousand years!
"This..."
Martial God Tiandu and his crew, Xiao Yunjue, Jiang Kongzhou, Li Qimo, and the others who were participating in the God Horoscope Contest were utterly shocked.
"God Ranking, hurry up and intervene, you must stop Qin Nan, don't let him enter the place!"
The Spirit of the South-Heaven Gate said coldly.
"I know!"
The Spirit of the God Ranking was in a mysterious place. It had already made its move by modifying the rules of cultivation.
Although they were taken by surprise by the strength that the sword had displayed, they had already set up their next moves.
And now, it was only the beginning!
"Fellow cultivators, I believe you're aware of the current situation. Enter the battlefield and kill Qin Nan at once."
The sound of the South-Heaven Gate echoed in the minds of the geniuses on the ancient vessel.
"Senior South-Heaven is being too courteous; since we're here, we'll surely help you settle it."
When facing the South-Heaven Gate, the geniuses did not act proudly, but brought their fists together with respect.
They knew that the South-Heaven Gate was related to some great authority in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, thus it definitely helped if they could befriend it.
Whoosh!
Several god runes emerged under their feet and unleashed forces of the rules of cultivation. Their figures quickly vanished as they entered the God Horoscope Contest using a unique method.
"South-Heaven Gate, quickly send someone to investigate why the sword has suddenly become so powerful!"
Heaven God Lu transmitted his thought to the South-Heaven Gate with a stern expression.
He had witnessed everything that took place in the Land of the Deceased Gods with an ancient secret technique. He immediately realized that there must be some terrifying existence supporting Qin Nan behind the scenes.
Who could the person be?
The God Ranking, Monarch Ranking, the primordial rules of cultivation, or the Ancient Demon Abyss?
Or could it be the few legends that were related to the ultimate secret of the Canglan Continent, or Empress Feiyue whose name had shocked the Nine Heavens?
