Peerless Battle Spirit

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Countless flickers of green branches firing out loomed over Qin Nan's figure, which instantly penetrated his body and coiled around his nine Martial Trees, exerting a great force through them!

Even though the man before it had surpassed the rules of cultivation by having nine Martial Trees, even though he was bold enough to try and merge the Martial Trees together, the Canglan Tree had its own pride. It would never allow ordinary Martial Trees to merge with it.

Qin Nan's eyes instantly turned cold!

It seemed like he had to convince him with his strength!

"Martial Trees resonate, shattering the Heavens with their combined will!"

Qin Nan let out a roar in his heart.

The nine Martial Trees inside his body instantly unleashed a strong will that belonged to the Divine God of Battle and the will of destruction. Together, they completely broke the branches into pieces!

Furthermore, the eight Divine Battle Trees in particular seemed to be quite infuriated, as the will of the Divine God of Battle burst out from them and infiltrated the imaginary space, which transformed into eight godly swords that slashed at the will of the Canglan Tree!

Although the will of the eight Divine Battle Trees was still relatively weak and incomparable to the will of the Canglan Tree, it was still the will that belonged to the Divine God of Battle. There was none in the Nine Heavens nor the Canglan Continent that could make it surrender!

"Mm? These eight Martial Trees are somehow different?"

The will of the Canglan Tree seemed slightly surprised.

It had spent countless years in the Canglan Continent, thus it had witnessed various kinds of Martial Trees. Despite that, it had never seen anything like the eight Divine Battle Trees, whose will was so terrifying even though their power was weak.

"Heaven-Shattering Saber!"

Qin Nan's right arm exploded into a terrifying saber!

"Slash!"

Qin Nan's figure moved with a flicker as he swung the saber downward, firing a terrifying saber glow that felt like it was trying to slash the will of the Canglan Tree in half!

"How naive! Do you think a saber intent could harm me?"

The will of the Canglan Tree collected its thoughts, fully showing its disdain. Following this, countless green branches intertwined with one another and formed a giant sword that slashed downward!

BANG!

A deafening blast took place!

It turned out that the giant sword was thoroughly shattered by the saber glow!

"What...what saber is that?"

The voice of the Canglan Tree startled for once.

It had keenly noticed that the saber's sharpness was even strong enough to shatter its will.

"This is the Heaven-Shattering Saber, one that can shatter the Heavens and the Earth, and everything else. Even if you're the will of the Canglan Tree, it can still shatter you with a single slash." Qin Nan carried a tremendous aura as he yelled, "Canglan Tree, I know you're being pressured by the South-Heaven Gate, and it is also a life and death enemy with me. If you're willing to lend me a hand in merging the nine Martial Trees, I promise you—I'll surely shatter the South-Heaven Gate to avenge you.”

The will of the Canglan Tree fell silent as if it were deep in thought.

"Do you really treat the South-Heaven Gate as a life and death enemy?"

It finally asked after a prolonged period of silence.

"There is no doubt about that, I can swear in the name of the Heavens and Earth."

Qin Nan was relieved seeing its reaction. Even though he would not have any trouble facing the will of the Canglan Tree, it would not benefit him if he ended up shattering the will of the Canglan Tree.

"If that's the case, I'll help you."

The will of the Canglan Tree said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, senior."

Qin Nan was overjoyed hearing this. He brought his fists together and said.

"Relax your thoughts. I'll use my will to strengthen your nine Martial Trees, before releasing the power inside the piece into the Martial Trees."

The will of the Canglan Tree said.

Qin Nan immediately nodded. He followed the instructions and relaxed his thoughts without any sign of resistance.

Suddenly, the will of the Canglan Tree transformed into a blinding glow and dashed into Qin Nan's mind.

A burst of great laughter followed.

"HAHA, a life and death enemy of the South-Heaven Gate? Even if you dared to swear an oath in the name of the Heavens and Earth, I wouldn't believe you either. The South-Heaven Gate has used the same trick on me many times! I shall devour you instead, so your nine Martial Trees and the Heaven-Shattering Saber will be mine soon!"

It had pretended to compromise to deceive Qin Nan.

Seeing this, Qin Nan shook his head and said, "Senior, as a piece of advice, you shouldn't try to devour me."

How could he not notice that the Canglan Tree was trying to set him up?

The reason was that he had never been worried about being devoured, thus he did not show any resistance.

"A piece of advice? Do you think I'm a three year old child? Don't you worry, if you're really an enemy of the South-Heaven Gate, once I've achieved my goals, I'll return control of your body to you..."

The will of the Canglan Tree said with a hollow laugh.

However, before it could finish, a terrifying glow burst out from Qin Nan's Divine Sense.

The copper mirror that had remained silent suddenly emitted a terrifying aura.

Furthermore, the mysterious golden seal inside Qin Nan's dantian and the red string on his wrist began to glow simultaneously as well.

"Aren't...aren't these...does this mean… Does this mean you are her Tribulation of Three Lifetimes?"

The will of the Canglan Tree was utterly astounded.

There was no way it would expect this to be the case.

"Canglan Tree, since you've helped me in the past, I will not crush your will today. Qin Nan is trying to merge his nine Martial Trees, the first ever in history. Helping him might actually be a good idea for you." The mysterious woman in the copper mirror said in a cold tone.

The will of the Canglan Tree fell silent.

If it had doubted Qin Nan in the beginning, there was no reason to do so now.

Besides, on second thought, she was right about him, since he had surpassed the rules of cultivation by possessing nine Martial Trees, not to mention the eight outstanding Martial Trees and the terrifying saber he had too.

Even though Qin Nan had yet to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, it was enough to show his incredible potential.

Besides, he was also her Tribulation of Three Lifetimes.

It had been eight thousand years since she had left the Canglan Continent. If she were to return due to the Tribulation of Three Lifetimes, what could possibly happen then?

What would Qin Nan grow into by then?

"Alright, I'll help him." The will of the Canglan Tree said, "However, I do have a request. Regardless whether you're able to shatter the South-Heaven Gate in the future, if one day, my successor is in trouble, you'll have to help them once."

"Not a problem."

Qin Nan agreed without hesitation.

Even if the Canglan Tree had not specifically mentioned it, he would also help if he were to stumble into its successor.

Merging the nine Martial Trees was too important for him.

"The everlasting dao that rises up into the Nine Heavens. Since a very long time ago, cultivators have tried many ways just to take a peek at it, but it is long gone. The ancient tree is also shattered, thus making Canglan no longer the same..."

The will of the Canglan Tree let out a long sigh as if it were recalling the past, feeling resentful toward something that had happened. In the end, its dull tone changed suddenly.

"Accumulate!"

The will of the Canglan Tree turned into a blinding ray that entered the nine Martial Trees!

The pentagon-shaped wooden block also unleashed a tremendous force that flowed into Qin Nan's body.

At that instant, Qin Nan experienced a tremendous change!
