Chapter 2333: Battlefield of Heaven Highnesses

Qin Nan had only comprehended three-tenths of the Heart-Slaying Slash when the Nine Dragons Seal gave it to him.

Heaven Highness Xinruo had invented the Heart-Slaying Slash based on the art he was practicing, thus it was already the limit for other people to comprehend three-tenths of it.

However, Qin Nan had entered a strange state under certain circumstances.

It was something that many cultivators had dreamed of.

When someone was trying to invent an art like a Master Art or Dao Art, not only did they need a lot of experience, they also had to achieve the strange state.

There were many experts with outstanding Martial Skill Talents in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. They had practiced a variety of Master Arts and fought countless battles, but they had never entered the state even when they died.

Being unable to enter the state meant they had nowhere to start from, thus they had no chance of inventing an art.

"The Art of the Immortal Demon!"

Qin Nan's mind was fully indulged in the process. The Arts of Dao Seeking he practiced were activated.

The essence of these Arts of Dao Seeking was flashing across his mind too.

From a certain angle, the essence of the Heart-Slaying Slash was fragmented while the essence of other arts kept clashing to replenish the former's essence.

"First slash, assimilate the heart!"

"Second slash, emptying the soul!"

"Third slash, seeing the void of Dao!"

"Fourth slash, forgetting the Heavens!"

Qin Nan unleashed saber intents. It felt like a great saber artist was waving his saber around.

Time gradually passed. The process was smooth at times, but at certain points, he was struggling to even swing the saber.

Inventing a Martial Art was not a simple task. It required a lot of repetition and refinement.

Putting thoughts into action straight away was impossible. It was not like he could just execute the idea in his mind flawlessly at the first time.

The peerless dragon under Qin Nan lifted its head and let out a loud cry.

The cry echoed in the surroundings, but it did not hurt Qin Nan's ears. It was like the chime of the Great Dao, like it contained great mysteries.

Days were gone fairly quickly.

Three months had passed in the blink of an eye.

The cultivators whom the Curved Swords had sent out to keep an eye on the Dragon Island had been withdrawn as the Curved Swords had been clashing with the Chaotic Heavens lately, each more serious than the previous one.

The two formidable factions never had a peaceful relationship, and it was becoming worse recently.

People had already forgotten the name Lin Xiaozhi which briefly caught the attention of the cultivators in the Fifth Immortal Realm. No one was longer talking about him. They would only occasionally remember the lucky Master of Dao who found the Four-Way Dragon Pattern.

The reason was there were lots of significant events related to Heaven Highnesses happening almost every month in the ancient era, not to mention the sudden rises of the law-defying geniuses.

For example, Cang, Zhou Di, Huangfu Jue, and Ye Zhaoxian who made a name for themselves several years ago had a lot of worthy achievements lately.

Cang had slain a Heaven Highness in the early stage when he was only in the Greater Success Stage of the Ruler Realm.

Zhou Di had gone to the Land of Outlaws alone and entered the legendary Undying Cycle Mountain to refine it.

Huangfu Jue had gone to the Twentieth Small Immortal Realm and combined three formidable factions into one faction consisting of demonic cultivators. He had also defeated two Heaven Highnesses in the early stage by himself.

Ye Zhaoxian also achieved something noteworthy. He had visited the outer circle of the Middle Mysterious Realm in the Blue Heavens and returned safely even though he was only in the Greater Success Stage of the Ruler Realm.

History was following the same course without much difference. The four great figures of the future were starting to display their talents.

Many extraordinary geniuses in the ancient era were not as impressive in comparison.

Most importantly, they could only look up at the quartet even though they were in the same cultivation level now.

Meanwhile, the deepest part of the Land of Sunken Dragons...

The deduction in Qin Nan's mind had reached a bottleneck.

He had evolved the Heart-Slaying Slash into six forms during the time he spent here. However, he still felt like he had yet to fully perfect the art.

"I'm at a loss here."

"As the saying goes, when you find yourself at a dead end, you make your own path."

。”

"The laws do not reform until they are destroyed. Either you break them, or you create new ones!"

Qin Nan made up his mind. He crashed the six forms of the Heart-Slaying Slash into one another.

His body shuddered. The overwhelming saber intent had dissipated.

The status lasted for ten days until loud cracks occurred on him like some kind of barricade was being shattered.

His eyes swung open too.

"It worked!"

Qin Nan clenched his fists in joy.

The Heart-Slaying Slash only had one form.

However, he had fully mastered it instead of only comprehending three-tenths of it.

The slash was different from the one invented by Heaven Highness Xinruo, and it was impossible to tell which one was stronger, but Qin Nan had come up with his own version of the Heart-Slaying Slash.

"Mm?"

Qin Nan soon noticed his flesh and Master Force were refined to an unbelievable state. His will had gone from two wisps to four.

It was a significant improvement.

"Young man, congratulations."

An aged and imperious voice uttered.

It was the peerless dragon talking!"

"Thank you, senior."

Qin Nan rose to his feet and brought his fists together.

"There's no need to thank me. You have somehow helped me overcome the devil in my heart when you came. Without you, I won't be able to overcome the Tribulation."

The peerless dragon added, "However, can you get down from my head? It's making me uncomfortable."

It was being very kind to let Qin Nan stay on its head for three months.

Qin Nan immediately apologized and flew to the other side.

The peerless dragon closed its eyes. It understood fate had brought them together. It was just a coincidence, and they would not meet one another again.

"I've come to the ancient era for some time. My cultivation has also reached a bottleneck. Should I head to the Heaven Highness Battlefield to achieve the Ruler Realm?"
