Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1503 - Bogged Down in Crisis

"Hehe, a mere ancient taboo is nothing. I would have torn it to pieces if I wasn't severely injured back then!"

A terrifying battle intent rose.

The enormous South-Heaven Gate vibrated vigorously.

The Spirit of the South-Heaven Gate felt a great chill as if it was placed in an ice cellar.

However, it did not think too much or feel suspicious. It had only controlled half of the South-Heaven Gate, and it would occasionally feel the same aura coming from deep within the South-Heaven Gate.

"The ancient taboo is indeed nothing, but its master is the one we should be wary of."

The ancient drawing said.

"It won't make any difference. I'm not in the mood to talk with you. You better stay out of this, or I'll show no mercy."

The will from the flesh of the Divine God of Battle slowly dissipated as its voice slowly faded away.

"HAHA, others would be afraid of you, but don't you think it's meaningless for you to threaten me?"

The ancient drawing burst out laughing. It was as if an illusionary young man inside the young man had opened his eyes. His gaze penetrated the South-Heaven Gate and stared at the flesh of the Divine God of Battle, like a supreme ruler of a world.

"We shall see, your setup is utterly meaningless, my plan is the only way to open..."

The voice paused, as the illusionary young man's lips curled upward.

Whoosh!

The ancient drawing vanished into thin air.

There was no need to say anything further. Time would tell it all.

……

……

Meanwhile, above the half-God region, the second continent...

A massive crowd of cultivators was entering the giant door like a school of carps moving down a stream.

Qin Nan and Empress Feiyue had traveled more than five thousand li in a day.

Normally, five thousand li would only take them a few breaths, yet it took them a whole day just to cover the distance, and they both felt fatigued from the journey.

Their pace had gradually slowed down too.

"It's a pity to miss out on the treasure."

Qin Nan blurted out when he saw a blood-colored mystical herb swaying not far away from him.

He had seen lots of precious materials along the way, more than a thousand of them. It would be extremely beneficial if he could refine them at his peak.

Unfortunately, there was no 'if' in reality.

His flesh was now the same as an ordinary human. He could not open his storage bag, and his body would most likely explode once he refined any of the herbs.

"Huh?"

Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment all of a sudden.

The reason was that he felt a sense of hunger coming from his stomach.

He had never felt hunger since he achieved the Martial Emperor Realm.

"An eighth-layer Body-Tempering Realm creature is heading our way."

Empress Feiyue who was not far away halted in her track. Her expression remained the same, like a stunning, breathtaking ice statue.

Even though her cultivation was suppressed too, she was still one of the creators of the second continent, thus she was fully aware of everything happening on this land.

"Great, it's been a while since I last ate some meat."

Qin Nan snapped a tree branch from a tree and gathered his focus.

On the second continent, the strength of the creatures was suppressed too. Most of them were in the Body-Tempering Realm.

With his comprehension of cultivation, he would not have any problem slaying an eighth-layer Body-Tempering Realm beast.

Whoosh!

A sudden gust swept across the place.

The sky seemed to turn brighter and bluer.

"My future life has altered the rules of cultivation."

Empress Feiyue's eyes flickered coldly.

"She can still alter the rules?"

Qin Nan was shocked.

The rules of the second continent had been established, yet her future life was still able to modify them even though her cultivation was suppressed too?

ROAR!

Several roars were heard coming from the woods ahead, as enormous beasts with Xiantian aura were charging toward them.

The ancient trees were smashed into pieces.

The change to the rules of the continent was obviously directed at the pack of beasts. The limitation of their cultivation was slightly lifted, thus placing them in the Xiantian Realm.

"Sky-Desolating Saber!"

Qin Nan straightened his face and quickly collected his thoughts. The branch in his hand sprang forward with an icy flicker.

He did not stop there. He decided to attack preemptively by dashing forward and throwing punches at the beast's eyes.

"ROAR!"

The beast that resembled an ape let out a roar and threw a punch in return too.

BANG!

Qin Nan felt a remarkable force directed at him. He managed to get a foothold after he was knocked a few steps back.

The difference of strength between an ordinary person and the Xiantian Realm was huge.

Although Qin Nan had a high comprehension of cultivation, he was still unable to ignore the difference of strength.

"Sealing the Heavens and the Earth!"

Empress Feiyue took a step forward.

Cold gusts started blowing around the area, making the temperature drop rapidly.

The eyes of the eight Xiantian Realm beasts were filled with fear as if they had encountered some terrifying existence.

"First form of the Divine God of Battle!"

Qin Nan took hold of the opportunity and uttered a roar. His aura skyrocketed as he knocked an ancient tree and launched it right at the beasts.

"ROAR!"

The beasts quickly recovered and roared as they swung their paws.

BANG!

The tree suddenly exploded into splinters stabbing the beasts. The beasts immediately cried out in pain. 

"Seven-layered Hidden Might!"

Qin Nan snapped another tree branch and charged forward like a swordsman.

Whoosh!

A small rock was flying at Qin Nan with a shocking pace. Qin Nan halted in his track and raised the tree branch to slash the rock in half.

"Who's there?"

Qin Nan's gaze sharpened.

It even caught Empress Feiyue's attention.

She did not detect the presence of the person who attacked Qin Nan.

"As expected of someone who is destined to overcome the Tribulation, to possess such remarkable strength even when you're only an ordinary human."

Followed a pleasant voice, the copper mirror's past life slowly walked out from the woods.

"Past life? The future life and I have already agreed on the rule that we are unable to sense one another's presence on the second continent, yet how did you find us?"

Empress Feiyue's expression remained the same.

"Your future life's true cultivation has already surpassed both of our understanding. She can easily alter the rules after they are set."

The copper mirror's past life said with a faint smile, "You are my future life. I'm quite impressed that you've managed to become an imperious ruler in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm in just eight thousand years. Even I was hesitant to kill you."

"However, I'm left with no choice."
