Whoosh!
The area within ten li was dyed snowy white as a terrifying sword intent descended from the sky, as if it were the judgment of the Heavens and Earth. Everything within ten li would be judged by the sword intent, deciding their life and death.
From the first-layer to the tenth-layer Martial Monarch Realm, each layer did not bring any significant changes to the cultivators, but the monarch force in their bodies would increase significantly.
This Martial Monarch Luoyin had a cultivation of the eighth-layer Martial Monarch Realm, thus the monarch force in his body had accumulated to an incredible level. Even a casual slash from him was like a peerless killing intent.
"Sky-Desolating Saber!"
At that instant, Qin Nan's figure tensed as his hair stood on end. The Monarch Heart in his body beat rapidly as two streams of terrifying cultivation wills were unleashed. The Heaven-Shattering Saber in his hand began to vibrate vigorously.
With a single thought, or even less than half a breath's time, he could execute his strongest move, the Sky-Desolating Saber Art, to tear a gap open in the sword intent and escape.
However, he did not give the order, nor did he make his move. He continued to stare at the sword intently.
He was taking a gamble. If he won, not only would he be able to retreat safely, his identity would not be exposed.
If he lost, he would be severely injured, or even crippled.
Buzz!
When the terrifying sword intent was only three hundred zhang away from Qin Nan, which would devour the area within ten li in half a breath's time, an unexpected change took place all of a sudden. The rift in the surroundings, the mountains, the woods, and the whole place began to tremble vigorously.
"This is..."
Martial Monarch Xuanxu, Martial Monarch Jiuqu, and the others were startled.
"Crap!"
Martial Monarch Luoyin was startled. He was so focused on the battle and scheming against the Martial Monarchs that he had completely forgotten about an important rule.
"Space Transformation!"
An ancient, imperious voice echoed between the Heavens and Earth. The sword intent that was about to slash downward, and the Monarch Arts that the cultivators had just executed in various spaces in the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain froze as if they were frozen.
Following this, the entire place began to distort.
Wisps of godly light descended upon the cultivators as if they had traveled across time and space. The light landed on the cultivators and turned into ancient teleportation formations.
"Great Emperor Luoyin, although I have yet to become a Great Emperor, what's wrong with snatching food from a tiger's mouth?"
Qin Nan looked straight ahead, his long robe fluttering in the wind.
From the very beginning, he had been calculating the time, calculating how much time was left until the hour was up.
When he made his move, there were only two breaths of time left before the hour was up.
If he could hold on for a few breaths, he would be able to leave safely with the thirty-seven Sky-Severing Dragon Claws without exposing his cultivation.
Now, his gamble paid off. Even though it wasn't the two breaths of time he expected, it was just right.
"You!"
Blue veins popped out on Martial Monarch Luoyin's forehead. He was about to speak when the ancient formation under his feet and the formations on Qin Nan and the others were activated.
Shua shua shua!
Everyone's silhouettes disappeared from where they stood.
The fiery space was completely distorted and shifted to another location.
A while later, in a space that felt like a world of ice...
"Why is it another dangerous place?"
Martial Monarch Luoyin scanned his surroundings and frowned.
"Listen up, Qin Nan has stolen thirty-seven Sky-Severing Dragon Claws. If any of you stumble into him, you must eliminate him and retrieve the claws."
Martial Monarch Luoyin took a deep breath and transmitted his voice to an ancient seal on his body.
The ancient seal was a unique talent that only the people of the Eight Ancient Tribes were able to practice. Once their cultivation had reached the fifth-layer Martial Monarch Realm or above, they would be able to transmit their Divine Sense to the people of their tribe in a specific space.
Normally, Martial Monarch Luoyin would not do such a thing, but this time, a mere Qin Nan had stolen the Sky-Severing Dragon Claws, and Qin Nan had even said those words before he left. There was no way he could withhold his anger.
"So what? Qin Nan, you better pray that you don't stumble into the people of our Dead Spirit Tribe. "
Martial Monarch Luoyin let out a hollow laugh as his figure vanished into thin air.
In addition to that, in the other two spaces, Martial Monarch Xuanxu and Martial Monarch Jiuqu could not withhold their anger either. They transmitted their Divine Sense to the ancient seal too.
Qin Nan's name immediately spread to the minds of the people of the Dead Spirit Tribe and the Ocean Tribe in various spaces.
A hundred breaths later, in an unfamiliar space...
Following a whoosh, Qin Nan's figure fell from the sky.
Qin Nan let out a relieved sigh as soon as he landed on the ground.
Even though he had won the bet, the scene just then was too dangerous. If he had waited for another half a breath's time, he would have had to face the terrifying slash head-on.
"I can't use the same method again."
Qin Nan shook his head.
After everyone had experienced the spatial transformation once, they would definitely take this rule seriously. If they used it again, it would be tantamount to sending themselves to their deaths.
"I still need three hundred and twenty-two Sky-Severing Dragon Claws. I can't afford to waste any more time."
After calming his thoughts, Qin Nan did not let his guard down as he raised his head.
He saw wisps of Bodhi intent floating between the Heavens and Earth in the second space. The mountains and woods in the distance were emitting a faint glow, giving the place a peaceful feeling.
"A space filled with Bodhi intent? Does that mean this is a land of treasure? "
Qin Nan frowned and flew forward.
Either way, he should take a look first.
"Mm?"
After flying a few tens of li, Qin Nan's eyes glittered.
The reason being that he had sensed four cultivators within three hundred li away, two Martial Monarchs and two Martial Progenitors, each with six, three, two, and one Sky-Severing Dragon Claw respectively.
In addition to that, the four cultivators were also using some kind of eye-technique to observe him.
"I see, I almost forgot about that."
Qin Nan's lips curled upward.
He was only a Martial Ancestor, yet he had thirty-eight Sky-Severing Dragon Claws. In this space, he was like a flame in the darkness, attracting everyone's attention.
"It seems like they are being cautious."
Qin Nan waited for a while and shook his head when he saw that the four cultivators did not attack or leave. He continued to fly forward.
"This space does feel like a land of treasure. I've traveled a few hundred li, yet I haven't encountered any danger."
Qin Nan observed his surroundings and murmured.
As for the four tails that had been following closely behind him, he did not pay any attention to them.
As long as no one above the seventh-layer Martial Monarch Realm was targeting him, he did not need to do anything.
Howl howl howl.
At that instant, a golden gust of wind came from the distance.
The gust was not dangerous at all. Instead, it felt rather warm as it blew at Qin Nan.
"The Bodhi intent in this gust is stronger than the other Bodhi intents. I should follow it and take a look."
Qin Nan's eyes flickered.
Before he could make his move, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
