Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1538 - Canglan Era

It felt like time had slowed down at that instant.

The South-Heaven Gate was different than the God Ranking. Not only did it modify the rule of cultivation in the Canglan Continent, it even controlled the Canglan Seal and prevented every cultivator from ascending further, apart from Empress Feiyue.

Its life and death, its existence and destruction truly symbolized the change of an era!

In the nick of time, a mysterious force burst out from deep within the South-Heaven Gate. It turned into a barrier and blocked the slash with brute force.

"Mm?"

Empress Feiyue\'s eyes flickered.

BANG!

A brilliant glow burst out from the South-Heaven Gate and soared into the sky. It seemed to have opened up a time rift, summoning a terrifying presence upon the Canglan Continent.

"What is this…"

The experts and authorities were startled.

Even though there was nothing around, they could sense an imperious presence watching them in the sky. Their souls trembled subconsciously!

"Was that the person behind the South-Heaven Gate…"

Heaven God Lu quickly reacted and wore a joyful look.

"Ants from the Lower Realm, listen up, the South-Heaven Gate is my artifact. Whoever dares to damage it further, I will annihilate your clan and destroy your world. You will repair the damage you\'ve inflicted on it at all costs…"

A thunderous voice echoed across the area. Each word felt like an ultimate rule that all creations were forced to obey.

"Be gone!"

Qin Nan had no time to listen to his nonsense. He gathered all his power on the Heaven-Shattering Saber and formed a peerless glow.

He did not care whatever cultivation the owner of the voice possessed.

He only knew one thing. The South-Heaven Gate must pay for its deeds with its blood, let alone its influence on the cultivators of the Canglan Continent.

"You…"

The thunderous voice was immediately filled with rage.

It did not expect a mere ant from the Lower Realm would dare to demand it to leave!

However, despite the rage, it had no chance of traveling across the distance to stop the attack.

Even though Qin Nan\'s strength was incredibly weak against his, the peerless slash still easily overcame his immortal glow and shattered it.

"South-Heaven Gate, Heaven God Lu, time to die!"

Qin Nan\'s blood hair danced wildly as he unleashed a formidable aura. The two Innate Sword Nascences left by the Magical Hair Sword God were activated and merged with the Heaven-Shattering Saber.

BANG!

It was a killing blow resembling both a sword and a saber.

The cultivators felt like they were witnessing an eternal-lasting scene.

The damaged South-Heaven Gate and Heaven God Lu inside it were torn into pieces.

AH!

A cry of agony echoed in the entire Canglan Continent.

Following it, countless blue light dots poured onto the area within a million li from it.

The space inside the South-Heaven Gate had lost its only path to the mundane world. It fell into eternal darkness and ceased to exist.

The ten godly mountain spaces and the cultivators of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground lost their source of energy. Their auras rapidly crumbled!

Following it, the whole Canglan Continent began to change!

The rules of the Heavens and Earth and the rules of cultivation completely collapsed.

Every cultivator shuddered all of a sudden as the Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang-ranked Martial Spirits vanished from their bodies.

"Our Martial Spirits have vanished. Does that mean…Qin Nan has managed to destroy the South-Heaven Gate?"

The eyes of the cultivators across the continent widened.

However, the change did not stop there. The sky of the Canglan Continent turned extremely clear as if it was cleansed with water.

Even though the cultivators could not see any significant changes, they could sense the sky and the ground, the river and the forest, and even the breeze giving them comfort.

Meanwhile, in the southernmost place where Qin Nan and the others were at…

Countless pure rays of light lit up the darkness.

They gathered together as if they were being summoned, before turning into a seal occupying the space of over ten thousand li, with an obscure aura.

As soon as the seal took form, each cultivator who had achieved the peak Martial God Realm immediately felt the chains in their hearts breaking, as they could feel themselves being summoned.

Every continent in the Secondary Lower Realm had the same seal.

It was known as the Seal of Ascension.

The seal was produced by the Great Dao. As long as the seal existed, every peak Martial God could trigger the Tribulation of Ascension. By overcoming it, they would be able to ascend to the Primary Upper Realm.

"Monarch Ranking, you have three breaths to decide! Are you going to forfeit your cultivation, or you\'ll die to my saber. One, two…"

Qin Nan stood still looking into the distance.

"I…I will forfeit…forfeit my cultivation!"

The spirit of the Monarch Ranking was utterly terrified after witnessing the sequence. It immediately made the decision when it sensed the great chill running down its spine.

Meanwhile, it was filled with remorse.

Trying to be the ultimate winner?

Winner its ass, it should have not remained neutral between the two sides and risked all it had to lend Qin Nan a hand.

The glow emitting from the Monarch Ranking slowly dissipated.

The darkness looming over the Canglan Continent for a few tens of thousands of years had finally come to an end.

Every cultivator in the Canglan Continent was free from the chains. They could achieve the Martial Monarch Realm and Martial God Realm on their own, and even visit the vast Primary Upper Realm!

"We…we\'ve won?"

The Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the other cultivators could not believe their eyes.

It took them a few moments to burst into cheers. Both the Martial Gods and the cultivators with low levels of cultivation were overwhelmed with joy.

Some even burst into tears of joy.

Perhaps the path ahead was still cruel as ever, and most people were unable to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm or Martial God Realm, but at least from now onward, they were no longer pawns. There was hope.

The world was no longer being manipulated.

A bright, colorful light shone upon the place.

Sound of flutes and zithers combined into a pleasant melody echoing in everyone\'s ears. Rays of origin light blossomed in the rift and descended on Qin Nan\'s figure, and the people who were fighting against the South-Heaven Sacred Ground.

It was the remaining origin force after the Monarch Ranking, God Ranking, and South-Heaven Gate had fallen. They proceeded to return to everyone\'s body.

"You\'ve done a remarkable deed. Your name will be passed down forever, what do you feel?"

Empress Feiyue looked around her calmly instead of an icy expression when she asked Qin Nan.

Qin Nan\'s aura returned to normal. He did not speak, but lifted his gaze looking at the Seven Luminaries Flying Sword.

His eyes were looking at a crystal inside the sword.

The sword seemed to have sensed something. It emitted a white ray and a black ray simultaneously.

They must be proud of him too.

"I have only one thing to do."

After some time, Qin Nan withdrew his gaze and transmitted his voice to the primordial rules of the Heavens and Earth. Every cultivator and even living creature heard a voice that they would never forget in their lives.

"It is now done, the real Canglan Era…has arrived!"
