Chapter 1648 – The Victors Light the Lanterns
Strong gusts that were icy like blades surged at the two from the distance while the ground began to tremble, as if it was to prove their speculation.
Murderous intents descended from the rift, sending chills down their spines.
“Qin Nan, what are we supposed to do…”
Wan Xiao asked.
“We can’t really tell if it’s a conspiracy still, and even if it is, it doesn’t make sense that it’s only revealed when we’re here.”
Qin Nan said without hesitation, “Let’s continue onward and see what’s going on.”
Wan Xiao was rather surprised. If it was him, he would immediately withdraw from the place and waited instead of taking the risk.
The man, the bird, and the dragon proceeded forward. The darkness gradually grew stronger as time went by.
Qin Nan was still able to see a hundred li away before, but he could only see less than ten li now.
Even his Divine Sense was affected to a certain degree.
BANG BANG BANG!
As they ventured deeper, they kept hearing explosions in all directions.
The cries of agony of dragons and cultivators were louder too.
It was obvious that some kind of danger had shown up, murdering quite a number of cultivators.
Whoosh!
Meanwhile, a piercing sound broke the silence as a copper arrow over a hundred zhang long with a blinding glow was fired at Qin Nan and his crew.
“Destruction Battle Fist!”
Qin Nan’s eyes glittered. He threw a punch forward and broke the arrow into pieces.
He did not stop there. His right arm transformed into the Heaven-Shattering Saber and slashed at the rift three li ahead.
ROAR!
Three ancient demon minotaurs with odd-looking horns revealed themselves. They uttered a furious roar as they kicked forward.
In addition to it, the rift within a hundred li from where Qin Nan and his crew were began to twist all of a sudden.
Figures of enormous beasts showed up continuously with ghastly cries.
“Qin Nan, we can’t go any further. The danger here can easily murder a ninth-layer Heaven God, if we go any deeper…”
Wan Xiao tensed with a stern look.
“No, let’s go another thousand li forward!”
Qin Nan waved his hand to interrupt Wan Xiao’s speech. He dashed forward and fired streams of saber intents.
If they could not enter the inner part of the Nine Dragon Mystical Realm, they would lose the chance of acquiring impressive successions. They could only look for some insignificant successions in the middle sector.
Even though he could still make his way to the third Immortal Ancient place, he wanted to increase the chance of his ascension as much as he could.
“We’re still going deeper? Isn’t he too stubborn?”
Wan Xiao was left speechless. He also realized how impolite Qin Nan was, as the man had interrupted his speech twice.
Meanwhile, deadlier attacks were happening deeper into the place.
The cultivators were utterly terrified upon hearing the cries of agony. They immediately fled for their lives, resulting in a chaotic scene.
In contrast, Qin Nan and his crew were still pushing forward.
A shocking occurrence took place.
Two terrifying dragon roars were heard coming from the end of the pitch-black darkness, reaching the ears of every cultivator.
“What just happened?”
The cultivators raised their heads in confusion.
Both Qin Nan and Wan Xiao shared the same reaction too, with a slight frown.
The fact that the dragon roars had come from the distance implied that the two dragons were different than the others.
Following it, more than twenty dragon roars appeared too. Even though they were incomparable to the first two roars, they clearly reached the ears of the cultivators too.
The people soon witnessed a marvelous sight.
More than twenty enormous dragons over four thousand zhang long, each with seven claws and scales emitting mystical glows soared into the sky.
A cultivator stood on each of the dragon heads. The dragons were shrouded by a golden flame, as if they were dragon gods.
“Are they the cultivators that managed to summon the Seven-Clawed Godly Dragons?” Wan Xiao was astounded.
“Interesting.”
The golden flames in Qin Nan’s eyes flickered, “Both the Seven-Clawed Godly Dragons and the cultivators possessed incredible power in their bodies. They seem to have received some kind of power boost.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, an unexpected change took place.
Two brilliant immortal glows appeared under the Seven-Clawed Godly Dragons, as two enormous dragons over ten thousand zhang long with immortal auras overtook them.
There were people standing on these dragon’s head too.
However, the two cultivators were dressed in white robes, with golden flames forming an ancient formation behind them, granting them an incredible presence.
Even though there were around twenty Seven-Clawed Godly Dragons, their presence was incredibly weak compared to the two Ten-Clawed Immortal Dragons.
“It’s the two Peerless Geniuses of the Supreme Daoism factions. From what I know, they are the only ones that summoned the Ten-Clawed Immortal Dragons.”
Wan Xiao immediately said.
“Dragon Immortal, in the name of the ancient dragon tribe, I’ve summoned the shadows of fellow seniors…”
“Hoping to resolve the calamity…”
“Let the light return!”
The two Peerless Geniuses performed a hand seal simultaneously. Their voices suddenly turned incredibly loud, like a clap of thunder echoing in every corner.
They flew away from the dragon head and entered the end of the darkness like two peerless emperors.
The ancient formation of golden flames on their backs turned into two fiery dragons flying into the end of the darkness while uttering cries.
Two enormous dragon lanterns with countless drawings of Ten-Clawed Immortal Dragons appeared. The light they emitted tore the darkness apart.
“Mm?”
Qin Nan raised his brows.
The Peerless Geniuses had lit up the lanterns?
Meanwhile, the peak Heaven Gods that were riding on the Seven-Clawed Godly Dragons rose into the sky and unleashed the golden flames into the end of the rift too.
Seven giant dragon lanterns like the size of mountains appeared once again.
Strong light burst out from the lanterns, wiping out the darkness covering the sky like a great army.
The whole place reclaimed its brightness.
The danger descending from the sky disappeared too as if it had been destroyed by some mysterious force.
On top of it, a strong surge of Dragon Qi poured out from the nine dragon lanterns and swept across the land.
Rare phenomena took place as a strong presence of Qi swept in all directions, allowing life to blossom once again.
