The middle-aged man with a beastly aura was a Martial Monarch from the G.o.d Beast Forbidden Ground, t.i.tled ‘Thunder Roc’.

As someone from the G.o.d Beast Forbidden Ground, the Thunder Roc Monarch Beast was rather familiar with Qin Nan compared to the rest of the crowd. He knew that Qin Nan had acquired the treasure left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch and that he had given the Beast-Hitting Stick to the Dragon Emperor Clan.

Many people had wanted to investigate Qin Nan to learn what treasure left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch he had claimed, but it was left aside as Qin Nan was still considered a p.a.w.n of the G.o.d Beast, plus he was under the protection of the Dragon Emperor, the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast, and the Diabolic Monarch Beast.

Therefore, the Thunder Roc Monarch Beast was immediately intrigued by the powerful saber.

"I'll wait a little longer, if it's exactly as I think, then..."

The Thunder Roc Monarch Beast grinned.

Time gradually pa.s.sed. The tide of the battle began to change.

Following w.a.n.g Zhao's attacks, many disciples of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground who were thinking of ambus.h.i.+ng Qin Nan were being picked off.

On top of that, Princess Miao Miao directly commanded the disciples of the Lost Herb Garden. Despite feeling speechless and dumbfounded, they had no choice but to follow the orders and attack the disciples of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground.

As for Qin Nan, he continued to nullify the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch's attacks as if he were unbeatable.

"Jade Pendant Sky Rising Sword!"

The Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch flipped his hand and fired a longsword, which transformed into a jade-colored ancient dragon that uttered a loud roar. Powerful sword intents wrapped around its figure as it tore at Qin Nan.

The Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch had finally started using his Monarch Weapon.

However, the Monarch Weapon had displayed a terrifying power when it had just been activated by the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch. It clearly surpa.s.sed the strength of a Monarch Weapon under the control of a Martial Progenitor.

"Break!"

Qin Nan remained collected. He swiped his saber forward, crus.h.i.+ng the Monarch Weapon into pieces.

"First form of the Divine G.o.d of Battle!

"Second form of the Divine G.o.d of Battle!

"Sky-Desolating Saber Art!"

Qin Nan no longer remained in his defensive stance. Battle intent burst out from his body as he dashed forward at the speed of lightning with his magical steps. The tip of the saber emitted a brilliant flicker as if the saber glow had originated from the ancient era. As it slashed forward, its brilliance stood out among all the attacks that were falling.

"Heavens and Earth as the net, the Great Tempest!"

The Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch snapped as he sensed the approaching danger. Countless tornadoes were summoned, connecting the sky and the ground.

The Thunder Roc Monarch Beast was further astonished seeing this.

He was now confident that the saber was most likely the legendary Heaven-Shattering Saber.

Meanwhile, the disciples and Martial Monarchs from the other factions exclaimed when they learned more about Qin Nan's remarkable strength.

"This...is the true definition of a battle!"

Some among the crowd showed pa.s.sionate gazes.

They were the disciples from the Battle Tribe, each a genius ranked on the G.o.d Ranking.

For some reason, as they spectated Qin Nan's battle, the battle blood in their bodies would rumble restlessly, urging them to partic.i.p.ate in it too!

BANG BANG BANG!

A series of explosions took place and the shockwaves they produced swept toward the surroundings, shaking the Heavens and Earth!

The battle between Qin Nan and the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch intensified, as countless strategies, unpredictable Monarch Arts were executed. It completely attracted the attention of the crowd!

As the battle dragged on further, Qin Nan began to come to a realization.

Those who had achieved the Martial Monarch Realm by inheriting the Monarch Horoscopes were indeed fake Martial Monarchs.

For example, in terms of Martial Heart, experience in battle, and intelligence, the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch was no match against Qin Nan.

In other words, the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch was only a peak Martial Progenitor wearing the coat of a Martial Monarch Realm on the outside.

He felt like a Martial Monarch on the outside, but he did not possess its true power.

"Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch, forget about using useless moves. Show me your trump card now. Otherwise, my Martial Trees will soon crush you into pieces!"

Qin Nan stepped forward as five other Divine Battle Trees emerged from his back and floated above the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch unleas.h.i.+ng formidable battle intent.

The Heavens and Earth were filled with endless roars as if an army consisting of a billion soldiers were charging toward the place.

The battle intent was far too terrifying.

"This..."

The disciples of the ancient tribes were astounded.

They had never seen such a formidable battle intent, not even from the Martial Monarchs of their tribes.

"How powerful are these six Martial Trees! Even a first-layer Martial Monarch would be left with severe injuries facing the battle intent."

The Illusionist Martial Monarch, Martial Monarch Mingkong, and the rest of the crowd were startled once again.

Being able to severely injure a first-layer Martial Monarch as a peak Martial Progenitor, how significant was that?

No one had ever witnessed something like it before!

"G.o.d of Wind's Body!"

The Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch grimaced. His body instantly expanded as blinding rays of light were emitted from it. It looked like it had formed from countless gusts of ancient wind, which was resisting the battle intent head-on!

Endless blasts took place in the air!

The Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch could feel his blood and organs shuddering, while a feeling of suffocation arose within him!

Even his G.o.d of Wind's Body could not hold out for much longer!

"Darn it, how did his Martial Trees become so powerful! Besides, he has nine Martial Trees in total, he still hasn't used the last three. If he decides to use them..."

The Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch's heart shuddered!

Although he was confident that his trump card would be able to stop Qin Nan, but wouldn't he be left with serious injuries after that?

If so, how would he be able to compete with the others for the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits that he needed to rank up to the third-layer Martial Monarch Realm?

"Fellow cultivators, I sincerely ask for your help to eliminate this kid. I will owe you a great favor once he's dead!"

The Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch immediately made up his mind and yelled out.

Although it was quite embarra.s.sing, it was the best choice he had now.

"Mm?"

The Martial Monarchs did not expect the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch to say such a thing. They all fell into deep thought.

It did sound appealing to let the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch owe them a favor.

After all, the value of a favor from a Martial Monarch Realm authority was rather high.

"Nice one!"

The Illusionist Martial Monarch was overjoyed!

If it weren't for his ident.i.ty, he would cheer and clap his hands straight away!

"Oh? A favor? I'll make it clear. If anyone dares to touch Qin Nan, they will be considered an enemy of the Lost Herb Garden!"

A cold yell echoed in the Heavens and Earth.

It was none other than Princess Miao Miao.

"You are?"

"The Princess of the Lost Herb Garden?"

The Martial Monarchs were stunned for a second, before coming to a realization.

They were familiar with the Princess of the Lost Herb Garden. She was deemed the successor of the Lost Herb Garden, the one who would be taking over the Lost Herb Garden in the future.

"You..."

The Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch and Illusionist Martial Monarch were startled.

They never thought Qin Nan would have someone with formidable status helping him.

"Hehe, an enemy of the Lost Herb Garden? So what? Cultivator Xuan-Wind, allow me to lend you a hand!"

Following a burst of laughter, the Thunder Roc Monarch Beast stepped forward with a powerful beastly aura.

"Someone from the G.o.d Beast Forbidden Ground?"

Qin Nan raised his head and immediately wore a displeased look.

He would not care if other Martial Monarchs were planning to intervene, but it turned out that the person was someone from the G.o.d Beast Forbidden Ground.

"Qin Nan, don't worry, I'm not going to attack you."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in Qin Nan's mind.

Qin Nan was stunned.

Did he misunderstand the Thunder Roc Monarch Beast?

"You were once a disciple of the G.o.d Beast Forbidden Ground. Therefore, if you're willing to hand over the Heaven-Shattering Saber, not only will I not attack you, I'll even a.s.sist you in fighting the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch. How's that? Of course, if you're not willing to hand it over, then you shouldn’t blame me for turning my back on an old a.s.sociate."

The Thunder Roc Monarch Beast stood at the peak of the mountain staring at Qin Nan with a smile. It was as if he were giving Qin Nan a chance rather than threatening him.
