Qin Nan turned around and saw two middle-aged men and a young man with a bulky figure. Their eyes flickered and they were wearing an ancient beast hide. Their faces and bodies were covered in mysterious purple-golden runes, which formed mysterious formations of various sizes.
"Judging from their words, they must be from the Star-Devouring Tribe. However, it's strange that they are only at the peak Martial Ancestor Realm, but why are their auras comparable to the third-layer Martial Monarch Realm?"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with doubts. He rose to his feet and brought his fists together with a calm expression.
"Fellow cultivators, is there a problem with absorbing the power of the stars?"
The three halted in their tracks upon hearing the words. They halted their attacks and glanced down at Qin Nan.
"Don't you know that absorbing the power of the stars here is the same as challenging our Star-Devouring Tribe?"
The middle-aged man leading the group was rather old and had a dignified expression on his face.
"Ugh, I'm sorry, I really didn't know."
Qin Nan wore a wry smile and said apologetically.
The Sun and Moon Sword God had not explained much to him before he left.
When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Judging from Qin Nan's reaction, he was not lying.
"What you've done is unforgivable, but since it's your first time, we'll let you go if you compensate us with some treasure!"
The middle-aged man's eyes flickered as he spoke.
Absorbing the power of the stars was not a big deal, but since the Star-Devouring Tribe was not allowed to leave the tribe, they would often use it to blackmail the cultivators who came from other tribes.
That being said, the blackmail depended on the person. As long as the person's cultivation was lower than theirs, they would find all kinds of excuses to blackmail them.
"Compensation? Here, take this Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruit. "
Qin Nan frowned. He flipped his hand and took out a Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruit.
Even though the amount of Star Force he had absorbed was not comparable to the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruit, it was true that he was at fault in the first place. He had offended the others, thus it was reasonable for him to compensate them.
"Hmm? What a miraculous fruit. If that's the case … "
The three of them stared at each other.
He planned to take the fruit and let Qin Nan go.
However, at that instant, a strangely shaped blue stone on the waist of the young man on the right suddenly emitted a golden glow, which transformed into a small golden dragon, uttering a series of dragon cries.
"Eh?"
Qin Nan stared at the blue stone in astonishment.
He did not pay much attention to the stone before, but now, he could feel a strange force being emitted from the stone, locking onto his right arm.
"The Flying Rain-Dragon Stone is reacting! This person's right arm is definitely a precious treasure, one that far surpasses Emperor weapons!"
When the three of them saw this, their hearts trembled, and their eyes were filled with shock.
They had found the stone by chance. They later discovered that the stone was able to sense the presence of other people's treasures. However, it was only emitting a blue or purple glow. It was their first time seeing a golden glow.
"We have to get his right arm."
The three quickly collected their thoughts and came to a consensus after exchanging glances with one another.
"Hehe, what you've done is unforgivable. Do you really think a mere fruit is enough to appease you? I can see that your right arm is quite extraordinary. It must be a treasure, right? Give me your right arm as an apology. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences. "
The middle-aged man leading the group and the other two uttered hollow laughs. Their auras of the third-layer Martial Monarch Realm were unleashed, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently. Even the ground beneath them began to tremble, causing cracks to appear on it.
"Aren't you satisfied with just a Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruit? You even want my right arm? Now that the fruit is gone, you can leave now! "
Qin Nan's eyes turned cold.
He was initially feeling sorry for them, but it was all gone now.
These people wanted the Heaven-Shattering Saber?
That was simply wishful thinking!
"Asking us to leave? You're just a mere peak Martial Progenitor, yet you don't know your place. Die! "
The middle-aged man immediately unleashed a shocking murderous intent after hearing the words. He stomped his foot, causing the purple-golden runes on his body to emit an ancient glow. The force of the stars was immediately summoned, which transformed into giant swords that slashed downward!
"I see, the purple-golden runes on their bodies are able to form a formation that can control the force of the Heavens and Earth here!"
Upon seeing this, Qin Nan's eyes flickered, as his entire figure began to move!
"Martial Tree Suppression!"
Following a roar, the Destruction Martial Tree and the Divine Battle Tree rose simultaneously from his back. A boundless force of destruction and the force of the Divine God of Battle surged downward like two ancient mountains covered in immortal Qi, which descended from the Nine Heavens!
"What's going on? He has two Martial Trees? "
The three of them were shocked!
The man before them had surpassed the rules of cultivation?
BANG BANG BANG!
At that instant, the giant swords were shattered into pieces. The tremendous force unleashed by the two Martial Trees suppressed the three cultivators, causing them to feel a great chill running down their spines!
"Let's attack together!"
The middle-aged man collected his thoughts and let out a roar. The other two cultivators immediately activated the purple-golden runes on their bodies, causing the force of the stars to descend from the sky, which transformed into the illusionary figure of an ancient star with a great pressure!
"Your trick might work on others, but it's useless against me!"
"Heaven-Shattering Saber, slash!"
Qin Nan seemed to have predicted this. His right arm exploded into the Heaven-Shattering Saber, which fired a shocking saber glow that slashed at the rift, shattering the force unleashed by the purple-golden runes on their bodies!
The dazzling stars in the sky began to shrink, as the energy of the stars began to scatter in all directions!
"How... how is this possible? How did your slash sever the connection between us and the Heavens and Earth? "
Seeing this, their eyes were filled with great astonishment!
It was even more shocking than when they had seen Qin Nan surpassing the rules of cultivation!
The Star-Devouring Tribe used to be humans, but their ancestors had discovered the secrets of the Star-Devouring Space and invented the Star-Devouring Dao Rune. When it was carved on their bodies, it was able to absorb the force of the stars to improve their cultivation!
For a long time, they had been relying on the Star-Devouring Space to extort foreign cultivators. They could even extort ordinary Martial Monarchs!
However, the Star-Devouring Dao Rune that countless Martial Monarchs had failed to penetrate was shattered by a simple slash?
