Chapter 1336 - Qimo, Kongzhou
Time gradually passed. Two days were gone in the blink of an eye.
In these two days, Qin Nan's group, the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, Jade-Lake Sacred Ground, Martial Principle Sect, God Beast Forbidden Ground and the other factions, and countless rogue cultivators and authorities headed for the Heaven River Mountain Range.
"We're here."
As another three hours passed, the Sun and Moon Sword God who had been quiet along the journey suddenly spoke. The formidable sword intent emitting from his figure which encapsulated Qin Nan and the others was withdrawn too.
Blood Rune, Qilin Flame, Vast Skythunder, and the rest of the group were startled. They immediately raised their heads and glanced ahead.
"Is this…the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain?"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered in astonishment following a glance.
Across a hundred li ahead were tall mountains that rose from the ground, a total of over three hundred, each engulfed in flames. From afar, it looked like a magnificent ocean of flames.
In addition to that, among the mountains, a terrifying, imperious mountain pushed into the clouds. It thoroughly resembled an ice crystal, like an icy godly sword that stood firmly on the ground, suppressing the place, making everything in the world dimmer.
The fiery mountains were none other than the Heaven River Mountain Range.
Meanwhile, the icy giant mountain was one of the Seven Great Forbidden Grounds that astonished the entire half-God region: the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain.
"Huh?"
Qin Nan's eyes glistened all of a sudden.
Through his left eye of the Divine God of Battle, around fifty li away from the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain, he could see a few hundred rogue cultivators, each with a cultivation of around the eighth to ninth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm.
On top of that, two other Martial Monarchs with their auras fully withdrawn were concealed among the fiery mountains around sixty li away, like two phantoms.
"What a surprise, there's still more than a day until the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain is accessible, yet so many cultivators are already here, I wonder how grand will it be?"
Qin Nan mumbled. A faint, flickering flame surfaced in his eyes.
To him, the bigger the occasion, the better.
BANG!
At that instant, a deafening explosion took place. Above one of the fiery mountains, a huge area of the rift crumbled as a three thousand zhang long blue vessel flew out from it, like an ancient blue whale.
The vessel was emitting an incredible aura, significantly surpassing that of ordinary Monarch Weapons. A mystical glow was looming over it, preventing any eye-techniques and Divine Sense from peeking into it.
However, when the vessel appeared, everyone's attention was immediately captured by a young man standing on the deck.
The young man had blue long hair and was wearing an eerie dark golden robe. His eyes that seemed like they were made of ancient runes were staring down at the mountains with a cold expression and an extraordinary presence.
"Jiang Kongzhou?" Blood Rune was startled.
"Why is he here? Isn't he supposed to be in seclusion?" Both Qilin Flame and Vast Skythunder's eyes widened.
Jiang Kongzhou, the Young Master of one of the ancient tribes, the Ocean Tribe, ranked eleventh on the Genius Martial Monarchs Ranking, which was a lot higher than the trio.
The trio had tried to fight him many times, yet they were defeated every time. They had never won against him.
Besides, if Jiang Kongzhou were here, many experts of the Ocean Tribe would be here too.
"Jiang Kongzhou, huh? However, something's quite strange about this guy. He has three different mysterious powers in his body and even I can't see it clearly."
Qin Nan frowned following a glance.
"Ice cube Jiang, even you are here, this is going to be fun."
A strange, hoarse voice echoed between the Heavens and Earth all of a sudden.
Following this, an eyeless, pitch-black titan wrapped in crimson red chains over five hundred zhang tall stepped out from the rift.
On the titan's shoulder stood a man in a black robe, who despite not having a strong presence was intimidating to look at.
"Li…Qimo?"
Blood Rune, Qillin Flame, and Vast Skythunder were stunned. The hearts of the crowd and the rogue cultivators around the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain shuddered.
Li Qimo, the Young Master of one of the ancient tribes, the Undead Tribe, ranked thirteenth on the Genius Martial Monarchs Ranking. Even though his cultivation was less outstanding than that of Jiang Kongzhou, his personality was extremely cruel and bloodthirsty.
"Presence of the South-Heaven Gate?"
Qin Nan was slightly startled.
Although the power of the South-Heaven Gate was hidden deep inside Li Qimo's body, his left eye of the Divine God of Battle was extremely sensitive toward it.
"The Undead Tribe has always been close with the South-Heaven Sacred Ground. Our Alliance Leader speculates that the authorities of the Undead Tribe may have already joined the South-Heaven Sacred Ground."
The Sun and Moon Sword God transmitted his voice.
"I see."
Qin Nan's eyes squinted with an icy flicker.
On that note, it turned out that the real strength of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground was much stronger than what he had imagined. It was possible that he had only seen the tip of the iceberg.
"Is that so?"
Jiang Kongzhou glanced at Li Qimo in silence.
"Hehe, still looking down on me? However, I hope you won't disappoint me this time…"
Li Qimo let out a strange chuckle and fell silent as if everything around him was none of his concern.
Time continued to pass. More cultivators arrived from all directions.
The atmosphere at the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain gradually became lively.
That being said, be it Jiang Kongzhou, Li Qimo, or the Martial Monarchs hiding elsewhere, they were entirely unaware of the existence of Qin Nan's group.
BANG BANG BANG.
A few hours later, a series of explosions took place on the fiery mountains, as monarch auras spread wildly.
It sounded like someone fighting and it involved Martial Monarchs.
"Mm?"
Most of the cultivators were startled.
The Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain was about to become accessible, thus starting a fight now would completely expose their existence, placing them in the limelight. It was likely to attract some of the powerful cultivators too, thus it was unwise to do so.
"HAHAHA, still trying to run away? No one at the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain will save you!"
Following a great burst of laughter, a Martial Monarch in a black robe with eyes the color of blood rose into the sky. He spread his fingers apart and grabbed forward with great might.
In front of him was a young man who was only a peak Martial Progenitor. He was tiny like an ant against the claw, which could easily shatter him into pieces.
"Is that…"
Qin Nan subconsciously glanced toward this and his figure instantly stiffened.
"Gong…Gong Yang?"
