Chapter 1184 - The Rage of the Canglan Tree

Qin Nan's eyes were filled with astonishment.

He did not expect the Anti-Heaven Alliance would plan to have such a move within three years.

The Anti-Heaven Alliance had only been established five years ago, thus even if the plan was carried out in three years, it would only have been eight years since its establishment.

The South-Heaven Gate and the South-Heaven Sacred Ground were considered one. Attacking the South-Heaven Gate was the same as waging war against the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, which had a history of over at least ten thousand years in the Canglan Continent, thus its resources and strength were immeasurable.

“I know it's somehow unbelievable, but just to give you a heads up, among the Martial Gods alive, if our Alliance Leader proclaimed himself to be the second strongest, no one would dare to say they are the strongest."

Yi Feng's eyes flickered with a hint of admiration.

"The strongest Martial God?"

Qin Nan's eyes glistened.

It appeared that this Magical Hair Sword God was even stronger than what he had imagined.

"I can join the Anti-Heaven Alliance."

Qin Nan calmly said.

Although it was quite a surprise that the Anti-Heaven Alliance had decided to launch an attack on the South-Heaven Gate within three years, it would not make any difference to him, as he would be able to join too when the time came.

That being said, he would have to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm by himself before the Anti-Heaven Alliance made their move.

Otherwise, he would not even have the right to participate in the war.

A smile appeared on Yi Feng's face as he heard Qin Nan's response. He said, "Since you're willing to join us, you will have to take part in the Alliance Entry Trial."

"Alliance Entry Trial?" Qin Nan raised his brows.

"That's right, the Alliance Entry Trial has two rounds. It doesn't matter if you're a three-starred enemy, a one-starred enemy, or a Martial Monarch Realm expert, everyone has to participate in the Alliance Entry Trial before joining us." Yi Feng explained, "Once you’ve completed the first round, you can then head to the Anti-Heaven Alliance to continue with the second round."

"I see." Qin Nan pondered for a while before he asked, "How do I take part in the trial?”

"Qin Nan, your trial has yet to be decided. After all, the way we recruit new disciples is different from the other factions. We don't really have a fixed location and time, thus I'll need to communicate with the people above me to decide it. You should rest up for now."

Yi Feng said while shaking his head.

"That's fine too." Qin Nan nodded.

Following this, Yi Feng handed Qin Nan a badge before leaving the place. Qin Nan added a few more layers of protection to the formation before sitting down on the ground and taking out the dagger.

To him, joining the Anti-Heaven Alliance was merely the icing on the cake.

Most importantly, he had to make the cake by merging the nine Martial Trees first.

"Destruction!"

Qin Nan spread his fingers apart, unleashing the will of destruction.

The entire Azure Dagger crumbled into pieces instantly, which ended up as a pile of dust. The pentagon-shaped wooden block was the only thing that remained intact.

"The piece of the Canglan Tree is indeed extraordinary, but how do I even refine it?"

Qin Nan said with a frown.

The ring that the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch had given him did not have any information regarding the method to refine it.

After spending some time thinking, Qin Nan decided not to waste his time any further as he could not arrive at any possible conclusion. He forced a drop of his blood to drip onto the wooden block.

However, the wooden block failed to show a reaction.

Qin Nan proceeded to try with various methods, including using different Monarch Arts. However, the pentagon-shaped wooden block remained perfectly undamaged.

"Maybe I should try cutting it with the Heaven-Shattering Saber?"

A thought crossed his mind before he swiftly shook his head. It would be a disaster if it slashed the piece of the Canglan Tree in half.

"The piece of the Canglan Tree is not an artifact, nor is it a herb. Your ways wouldn't work at all. You should unleash your Martial Trees and apply pressure to it. Once it senses how extraordinary your Martial Trees are, it might awaken the will of the Canglan Tree inside it."

An icy voice appeared, which turned out to be the copper mirror.

"Thanks!"

Qin Nan was overjoyed upon hearing this, who replied while bringing his fists together.

The same as usual, the copper mirror instantly fell silent. She definitely had no interest in speaking to Qin Nan. If it weren't that she was quite curious about seeing the nine Martial Trees merging together into one with the power of the Canglan Tree, she would not give Qin Nan the advice.

Qin Nan had already gotten used to her character. He immediately unleashed the nine Martial Trees without further ado.

"Suppress!"

With a thought, the nine Martial Trees directed their Monarch Art wills toward the wooden block.

BANG.

A strange explosion echoed.

It felt incredibly loud and terrifying, but on second thought, it felt like there was no sound at all.

"It does work."

Qin Nan's eyes flickered, who controlled his nine Martial Trees to repeat the same actions.

A series of strange explosions took place, as a tiny, yet obscure and pure green flicker could be seen on the surface of the wooden block.

After repeating the same sequence ninety-nine times, the wooden block suddenly emitted a tremendous glow, which formed a giant mouth that tore at Qin Nan's figure. Qin Nan was taken by surprise and immediately reacted, but it was too late. He had no choice but to watch the mouth engulfing him.

Whoosh.

Qin Nan could only sense a gust of wind, before realizing that his surroundings had changed.

It was obvious that he had arrived at a different space.

Qin Nan calmed his thoughts and raised his head. However, following a glimpse, his eyes were filled with shock.

His surroundings were in complete, endless darkness as if he were somewhere deep inside the rift.

In the midst of the darkness, an unimaginably enormous tree stood firmly with countless branches extending into the horizon. Its brilliant green glow was trying to illuminate the entire place.

It was no longer a tree; it was more like a deity, a world on its own.

Qin Nan was like a dust particle standing in front of it.

"So this…is the Canglan Tree?"

Qin Nan asked while withholding the astonishment in his heart.

If he had not experienced the suppression of the Divine God of Battle before, he would most likely be knocked unconscious by its aura.

"No, it's only the image of a single stream of my will, an illusion." A blasting voice echoed in the endless darkness as if the Heavens were speaking.

"Just a single stream of will?"

Qin Nan's heart shuddered.

If the image of a single stream of will was already this astonishing, how shocking would its actual form be?

Did the Canglan Tree really connect the Canglan Continent and the Nine Heavens physically?

"You're not the person I was anticipating. Why did you awaken my will?"

The will of the Canglan Tree spoke once again, as a great pressure was applied to Qin Nan's figure.

"Senior, I have nine Martial Trees and I'm planning to merge them into one. I need the power of the pieces of the Canglan Tree."

Qin Nan said after collecting his thoughts.

"How ridiculous!" To his surprise, the will of the Canglan Tree snapped furiously, "Trying to merge with me with merely Martial Trees? Besides, you have committed a great offense by trying to suppress me with the nine Martial Trees. Therefore, I'll now crush your nine Martial Trees and absorb their power!"
