Chapter 2277: Kill, Part One

Whoosh!

Qin Nan unleashed the Impenetrable Sacred Flesh when he was around a hundred zhang away from the Supreme Haotian Badge to pour its formidable power into the badge.

The Supreme Haotian Badge shuddered as the golden light it was emitting grew a few dozen times stronger.

Cang swiftly followed and unleashed a glowing river.

BANG!

The Supreme Haotian Badge reached its capacity. Its powerful energy began to influence the Rules of the entire Third Forbidden Area like a great calamity.

Terrifying auras gradually appeared.

The beasts in the Third Forbidden Area were forced to wake up and flee for their lives. The scene was utterly astonishing.

In addition to it, the terrifying existences in the nearby forbidden areas were startled too.

An overwhelming pressure surged across the rift.

The Masters of Dao subconsciously backed away too.

The Battle of the Masters had begun!

Meanwhile, somewhere easternmost in the First Immortal Realm...

Ye Zhaoxian, Eternal Night Heaven Highness, Ruler Huangyun, and many authorities executed outstanding arts to activate several ancient Dao-Seeking Weapons before them, causing them to emit a tremendous glow.

The scene lasted for an hour until a huge crash occurred followed by a pitch-black crack.

Ye Zhaoxian and the others immediately took hold of the opportunity to enter the darkness.

They were still in the Primary Upper Realm, but they had departed from the Thirty-Third Small Immortal Realm.

Ye Zhaoxian and the others did not stop. They flew into the distance at a faster pace instead.

Three hours later, their speed began to decline.

In front of them at the end of the darkness stood a crimson-red entrance over a few thousand zhang tall. It was covered in mysterious runes with two imperious words written at its center.

Blue Heavens!

The light was spinning like a vortex behind the entrance, preventing one from seeing what was inside it. The entrance seemed to be leading to a whole new world.

"So many years have passed. I wonder if how different is it now compared to before."

Ye Zhaoxian's eyes glowed brightly following his murmur. The eyes seemed to have accumulated the secrets of the Nine Heavens, allowing him to peek through everything.

Ye Zhaoxian led the way and disappeared into the entrance.

Meanwhile, the Northern Battlefield of the Battlefield of Aeon!

Almost every Master of Dao in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm had arrived in just a few hours.

The Third Forbidden Area underwent significant changes too. The sky, ground, valley, mountains, and rivers had a golden glow and magnificent auras of an ocean.

"Look, another ancient Dao-Seeking Weapon has appeared!"

"That's the seventeenth!"

"I think it was the Crippled Eye Heaven Highness' natal artifact, the Black Eyed Staff!"

The cultivators exclaimed.

The Masters of Dao fixed their eyes on the scene ahead.

Apart from ancient Dao-Seeking Weapons, the remains of Rulers of Dao, will of Heaven Highnesses, and resources exceeding the level of Immortal Blessings were gradually appearing too, as if an ancient land of great treasure was opening up.

An immortal mountain suddenly collapsed as twelve vivid statues created with some ancient mineral emerged from it.

A tremendous aura surged in all directions and suppressed the auras of the ancient Dao-Seeking Weapons and the remains of powerful cultivators.

"Mm?"

The statues immediately grabbed everyone's attention.

"Are those...the Twelve Heaven Emperor Statues?"

Jiaye blurted out in shock, "I didn't expect these things to still be around! My master, if Cang tries to claim the statues, you have to stop him."

Qin Nan nodded and transmitted the thought to Princess Miao Miao and the others.

He had no idea what the Twelve Heaven Emperor Statues were used for, but he knew they were unusual.

More rare resources appeared like bamboo sprouts after a rain.

BANG!

A shocking aura exploded into the rift all of a sudden.

Loud rumbles soon echoed in the surroundings, as if a great downpour was happening.

Qin Nan took a quick glance around him and noticed the ground of a certain area had cracked open. Inside it flowed a river with blue crystalline water.

Every drop of the water contained a terrifying amount of immortal intent.

"That's...the Immortal Emperor Spirit Water!"

"Immortal Emperor Spirit Water? It's real?"

"(Gasp), I always thought the Immortal Emperor Spirit Water is just a myth!"

The Masters of Dao were astounded.

A few thousand years ago, someone had invented the Mystical Artifacts Leaderboard. The Immortal Emperor Spirit Water was ranked close to the top. Rumors said a peak Master of Dao would have a forty percent chance of becoming a Ruler of Dao after refining the Immortal Emperor Spirit Water!

Normally, a cultivator would only have a ten percent chance to achieve the Ruler Realm!

Something even more shocking soon appeared before they could collect their thoughts.

Remains of Heaven Highnesses, secret arts, and Arts of Rules invented by Heaven Highnesses gradually appeared. 

It continued to last for more than an hour before it started to slow down!

It was not even exaggerating to describe the Third Forbidden Area as a great land of treasure.

Whoosh!

The Supreme Haotian Badge finally reacted.

Its brilliant light sprinkled down on the edge of the Third Forbidden Area and formed a mystical barrier which only allowed Masters of Dao to pass through it.

Its spirit hibernating in complete darkness had woken up too.

Qin Nan and Cang were the first to sense its awakening as their power was suddenly strengthened by an unknown source, causing them to feel lighter and more compatible with the rules around them.

"Is it coming?"

Qin Nan squinted.

A few moments later, a deep voice which sounded it had originated from the primordial times echoed across the Battlefield of Aeon, "The Supreme Haotian Badge has returned! In the name of the oaths sworn by the seniors and fellow cultivators, I hereby declare the beginning of the eleventh Battle of the Masters!"
