Chapter 2276: The Recurrence of the Storm

Yi Shi immediately noticed something after hearing Cheng Mu's words. He turned his head around.

The Masters of Dao who were present shared the same reaction.

A huge part of the rift suddenly shattered. Qin Nan, Jiang Bilan, Princess Miao Miao, and the others walked out from the crack in order.

"Such a formidable aura!"

"The reincarnation of two Supreme Highnesses is indeed extraordinary!"

"Did any of you notice the two women with Qin Nan aren't just glamorous, but their auras are unusual too!"

"Senior Brother, it seems like we will have to call off our initial plan!"

The Masters of Dao were astounded.

They never had the chance to meet Qin Nan since he became a Master of Dao. They only heard rumours about him from their seniors.

In addition to it, some of the Masters of Dao who used to hold a grudge against Qin Nan were thinking of finding a suitable opportunity to eliminate Qin Nan.

However, they had now decided against it.

Despite being in the same cultivation level, there was a huge difference between their strength.

Qin Nan scanned the surroundings and paused briefly when he saw Cheng Mu and Yi Shi. He nodded before withdrawing his gaze and closing his eyes.

The place fell into eerie silence.

The Masters of Dao had no idea what Qin Nan was up to, but they did not disturb him. They communicated with their Divine Sense instead.

A while later, Qin Nan's eyes sprang open. He transmitted his voice, "Cang has set the Battle of the Masters in the Northern Battlefield."

Qin Nan immediately brought Princess Miao Miao and the others with him.

They had only agreed on a time with Cang. They did not discuss any detail. Qin Nan had closed his eyes to pick up the presence of the Supreme Haotian Badge.

"Let's follow them!"

The rest of the Masters of Dao were immediately on the move.

Around half an hour later, Qin Nan and his crew, and the Masters of Dao went deep into the Northern Battlefield.

Normally, the journey would have taken them at least a few hours. After all, they had to cross a few forbidden lands filled with all kinds of danger. They were able to reach their destination so quickly simply because of Qin Nan.

Qin Nan ignored the danger around him. The forbidding formations and danger nearby avoided him after sensing his presence.

After all, they had been around for a long time. They would never forget Zhou Di and Huangfu Jue.

They remembered the tragic outcome of the ancient battle.

"Mm? Is that..."

As they ventured deeper, the Masters of Dao were startled.

They saw the Supreme Haotian Badge hovering above a vast land. Its golden light sprinkled down on the land and was altering everything within its coverage.

Many of them were familiar with the place.

It was the Third Forbidden Area of the Battlefield of Aeon!

In the Battlefield of Aeon, the higher the ranking of a forbidden area, the deadlier it was. Under normal circumstances, cultivators in the Master Realm would avoid the first five forbidden areas. They had to join hands with others and be extremely cautious when going to the first ten forbidden areas too.

A lot of Masters of Dao had fallen in these forbidden areas. It was not exaggerating to say the odds of them coming out alive from these places were only around ten percent. 

There was something else that was very crucial too!

During the ancient era, after the end of the ancient battle, the people who created the Battle of the Masters had already reached an agreement with the terrifying existences in the first five forbidden areas and the spirit of the Supreme Haotian Badge.

One of the conditions was the Battle of the Masters was not allowed to be initiated in the first five forbidden areas!

Did the restriction no longer apply?

"This might be a great opportunity for us!"

The eyes of many Masters of Dao glittered with excitement.

The Third Forbidden Area contained all kinds of fortunate encounters and valuables. If the Battle of the Masters was to occur here, it would reveal the fortunate encounters and the valuables!

If they could claim some of them and refine them, they might have a chance to achieve the Ruler Realm too!

"Qin Nan, the seniors have asked me to remind you that Cang has retained all his memories and capabilities since he was reborn instead of reincarnated. There are beasts and some other terrifying existences in the Ruler Realm in the Battlefield of Aeon. He might have a way to subdue some of them," Jiang Bilan said.

"Mm! There must be a reason he has chosen the Third Forbidden Area as the venue," Qin Nan wore a stern look.

"Qin Nan, great timing."

Cang greeted as he approached from the distance with a smile, "The Supreme Haotian Badge isn't the same as it was repaired recently. I might need your help to activate it."

Qin Nan looked around and saw Cang was alone.

"Sure."

Qin Nan nodded and flew ahead.

He was not too worried if Cang had purposely hidden Tang Qingshan.

The reason was that Tang Qingshan was the reincarnation of Heaven Highness Wuwang's orb spirit. It was meaningless for him to stay a Master of Dao for a long time. Qin Nan and the others would keep searching until they found him.

"Isn't that...Xiang Hun?"

The Masters of Dao were stunned.

Didn't they say Qin Nan had defeated Xiang Hun and murdered him in the Battlefield of Aeon?

Why was he here now?

"Hang on, master once said Cang wasn't reincarnated. He's looking to occupy a powerful flesh. Does that mean..."

A shocking thought crossed the Masters of Dao's minds.

The Masters of Dao inhaled deeply as their hearts pounded heavily.

The aura Xiang Hun was emitting was in the peak Master Realm. If Cang had claimed his flesh, wouldn't it mean Cang was trying to achieve the Ruler Realm too?

Did Qin Nan and Cang initiate the Battle of the Masters together?

A great chill ran down their spines!

Some of the Masters of Dao were having difficulties breathing.

One was the reincarnation of two Supreme Highnesses!

The other was a Supreme Highness who was reborn!

Three of the four most terrifying cultivators in the ancient era were here!

How were they supposed to compete in the Battle of the Masters? 

The Masters of Dao immediately realized what was going on. Cang and Qin Nan were only using them to fill up the numbers.

The real battle was between Qin Nan and Cang.

The others had no chance to participate.

"Phew, it's an extremely rare occasion too. We can finally see who's stronger between them!"

The Masters of Dao took deep breaths to calm their thoughts.

At the same time, they were informing their factions about what happened.
