Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1541 - The Sky-Stride Dao Stairs

Following it, the scenery in front changed completely.

The view in front of him and in his surroundings was no longer the endless rift, but mere void.

At the end of it was a blue-white light.

As Qin Nan flew into the light, he immediately saw steps after steps made of white jade and covered in runes.

"Could this be the Sky-Stride Dao Stairs?"

Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment. He walked up the stairs taking one step at a time.

A pure energy appeared and entered his body with every step he took, granting him incredible benefits.

On top of that, a blue-white rune slowly emerged on his forehead, before vanishing again.

Every cultivator who ascended would arrive at the Sky-Stride Dao Stairs.

It was the shortest way to enter the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Besides, those who took the stairs would be given great benefits. Normal cultivators would have achieved the Human God Realm after taking all the steps.

Most importantly, they would also receive the blue-white rune.

The rune was known as the Ascending Dao Rune. Only the cultivators of the Secondary Lower Realm had one. It allowed them to return to the Secondary Lower Realm after they had ascended to the Primary Upper Realm.

Even though it could not summon the Sky-Stride Dao Stairs again, it would still make the trip a lot easier.

In comparison, it was a lot more difficult for the cultivators from the Primary Upper Realm to return to the Secondary Lower Realm. They would have to travel across the rift while encountering life-threatening danger along the journey.

Heaven God Lu had gone through quite a journey when he first came to the Canglan Continent. He was rather fortunate, as he almost died during the journey.

After all, the cultivation of the people from the Primary Upper Realm was significantly stronger than those from the Secondary Lower Realm. If they could simply visit the places in the Secondary Lower Realm, many continents would be long gone.

"My cultivation has reached the second-layer Earth God Realm after merging with the flesh of the Divine God of Battle. The power is fairly pure, so I should stabilize with it first."

Qin Nan murmured. He activated the Immortal Root and calmed his thoughts.

Time gradually passed. Three days were gone fairly quickly.

The god glow encapsulating Qin Nan was now glass-like. The god force in his body had turned into crystal-like water.

It was the true symbol of the Earth God Realm.

His mastery of the god force had significantly improved.

Once he achieved the Heaven God Realm, the god force would evolve completely and attained the requirements to evolve into the immortal force.

"Mm?"

Qin Nan's eyes sprang open all of a sudden with a frown.

He sensed a great danger coming from the Sky-Stride Dao Stairs at that instant.

ROAR!

As he thought, wisps of forces gathered from all directions and transformed into ferocious beasts,

Each beast possessed remarkable cultivation, each with a cultivation of the tenth-layer Human God Realm.

Three among them had even achieved the Earth God Realm.

"Where did these beasts come from?"

Qin Nan's eyes emitted a golden glow as he immediately unleashed streams of saber intent.

Meanwhile, the frown on his forehead widened.

From what he knew, the Sky-Stride Dao Stairs would not be dangerous.

"Qin Nan, you won't need to kill them, just immobilize them." The Beast Hide Drawing suddenly appeared. The young man in it said, "It's the Ancient Taboo probing you."

"Ancient Taboo?" Qin Nan was startled.

"You will learn more about the Ancient Taboo once you enter the Nine Heavens and become an immortal." The young man calmly said, "Currently, not only you, but everyone that is ascending is attacked by the beasts."

The young man flicked his finger and produced several screens.

Each screen displayed a cultivator killing the beasts on the Sky-Stride Dao Stairs.

However, their cultivation was simply too weak. They were soon killed by the beasts.

"Such a bold move."

Qin Nan's eyes squinted. His saber intent immediately took the form of cages and entrapped the beasts.

However, he was not too bothered by the incident.

Although he was curious about the Ancient Taboo, he could tell that it had something to do with the Divine God of Battle.

The fifth immortal, even mentioning his name could bring destruction upon a world. The identity of the Divine God of Battle must be even more terrifying than he had imagined.

It was reasonable for his enemies to show up.

"I won't see you before you become an immortal. You are on your own now."

The young man inside the Beast Hide Drawing said.

Qin Nan was startled, before he brought his fists together and said, "Thanks."

The Divine God of Battle was quite alerted by the Beast Hide Drawing, yet he never referred to it as an enemy.

So far, the drawing had helped him on several occasions.

Once the drawing disappeared, Qin Nan fell into deep thoughts for a moment, before continuing on his way up the Sky-Stride Dao Stairs.

Time gradually passed. Another three days were gone fairly quickly.

"Finally...I've arrived in the Primary Upper Realm!"

Qin Nan came to a stop. His eyes flickered with astonishment. The Sky-Stride Dao Stairs had disappeared, replaced by an ancient formation around ninety-seven zhang tall emitting mystical rays.

Even the battle blood in his body was boiling slightly.

It was different than entering the Nine Heavens with his soul. He had truly entered the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Besides, he was now an Earth God.

Whoosh!

Qin Nan did not ponder further. He withdrew his thoughts and transformed into a ray of light as he entered the formation.

At that instant, a sense of space transformation arose in his heart.

It felt like he was traveling inside a tunnel of space and time.

BANG!

Meanwhile, a magnificent aura sprang into the sky.

The Divine Battle Spirit that had been silent for quite some time emerged from his back.

Although Qin Nan had achieved the Earth God Realm, he still could not summon the illusionary figure. He could only unleash a blue glow.

Wisps of Divine Battle Force were produced. They merged with the god force in his body and triggered a transformation.

It was impossible to summon the real Divine Battle Spirit in the Canglan Continent.

In other words, the true spirit of the Divine God of Battle could only be summoned in the Primary Upper Realm to absorb the Divine Battle Force.

Thud!

Before Qin Nan could experience the joy, he felt like his body had just slammed into an enormous mountain, resulting in a loud crash.

Following it, he found himself in a new environment. Strong wills approached from all directions and gathered on him.
