Chapter 1316 - The Arrival of the Martial Monarchs

"Let"s go."

Qin Nan scanned the map and after memorizing it, he unleashed the Destruction Will, wrapping Sima Kong"s figure and flew into the distance like a peerless saber.

Meanwhile, the news about the opening of the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace echoed in the ears of every Martial Monarch. Many of them smashed the Abstruse G.o.d Pieces without hesitation and headed for the place.

Some of the powerful Martial Monarchs opened their long shut eyes and flew into the clouds with tremendous auras.

In addition to that, when those that were not currently in the Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce learned of the information, they quickly left everything and entered the Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce.

A grand storm was slowly forming.

Time gradually pa.s.sed. As the duo"s location was not too far away from the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace, it only took them two hours to arrive.

A vast, golden ocean appeared in front of them, where a purple-golden dojo was floating at the center, surrounded by streams of purple Qi and dragon might that surged into the surroundings, resulting in an astonis.h.i.+ng sight.

Qin Nan activated his left eye and looked forward. His eyes flickered following the glance.

They were already eighty-three different auras on the dojo and they consisted of three ninth-layer Martial Monarchs, twelve eighth-layer Martial Monarchs, eighteen seventh-layer Martial Monarchs, and twenty-four sixth-layer Martial Monarchs.

As for the rest, their cultivations were between the second and fifth layers.

Not a single first-layer Martial Monarch could be seen, while there were only a few second or third-layer Martial Monarchs.

"Let"s head to the dojo for now."

Qin Nan took a breath as he collected his thoughts, before flying to the purple-golden dojo.

As he landed, an unexpected change took place.

"You are now at the Dragon Palace Dojo. No violence is allowed, and those who disobey the rule will face destruction. Wait patiently, the place will open once the time arrives."

An ancient, imperious voice echoed in his mind. The few sentences were enough to bring overwhelming pressure to him.

Qin Nan immediately raised his head and saw a purple illusionary figure floating at the front of the dojo. His figure was emanating a force similar to the Dragon Emperor"s dragon might, the kind that belonged to the Purple-Golden Battle Dragon.

However, the purple figure was more obscure than the Dragon Emperor. Qin Nan was unable to peek through his true cultivation.

It was obvious that the purple figure was something like a guardian.

"It"s not time yet?"

Qin Nan brought his fists together toward the purple illusionary figure before scanning his surroundings.

Since there was still time, he decided to observe the Martial Monarchs instead.

Following a glance, Qin Nan"s attention was caught by two fourth-layer Martial Monarchs.

Their t.i.tles were "World"s Imperious Ruler" and "Boundless Sea of Agony".

Beside them stood two eighth-layer Martial Monarchs each, while the World"s Imperious Ruler, in particular, had a ninth-layer Martial Monarch standing close to him.

Such a formation was significantly stronger than the trio of Tu Di, Fei Hong, and s.h.i.+ Ang.

In addition to that, Qin Nan also felt a terrifying force hidden inside their bodies. Once unleashed, their strength would greatly surpa.s.s that of fourth-layer Martial Monarchs.

"I"m not sure if Senior Brother Tang Qingshan has come and is somewhere among the crowd?"

Qin Nan mumbled to himself as he continued to observe the crowd.

"Humph, what are third-layer Martial Monarchs and fourth-layer Martial Monarchs doing here?"

A cold harrumph could be heard in the distance. The crowd raised their heads and saw a figure with the t.i.tle "Old Man Kongwu" approaching the dojo. His figure was emanating a terrifying aura and many of the Martial Monarchs were startled by it.

The person"s cultivation turned out to be the peak Martial Monarch Realm.

"Old Man Kongwu? I heard that this guy is an elder of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, Qin Nan, I"ve only heard it from rumors..."

Sima Kong let out a soft cough as he thought of something.

Qin Nan shook his head as his expression remained calm.

Even though he hated the South-Heaven Gate, it did not necessarily mean he hated everyone from the South-Heaven Sacred Ground. Besides, if he were to wage a war against the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, it would be at the Canglan Continent.

In this Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce, it was impossible to know someone"s true ident.i.ty.

"Kongwu, it"s fun when there are more people. In my opinion, they should just get rid of the rule of not allowing those below the fifth-layer Martial Monarch Realm to enter the Heaven Realm."

A pleasant voice could be heard coming from the distance, which echoed in everyone"s hearts and improved their mood.

A glamorous figure with the t.i.tle "Frost Queen" slowly came up. Even though the crowd was unable to see her face, they were still stunned by her beauty.

"HAHA, that"s absolutely true."

A tide rose from the ocean as a figure with the t.i.tle "Martial Monarch Cangsong" stepped out from the wave. His aura caused the surrounding s.p.a.ce to shudder.

This Martial Monarch Cangsong and Frost Queen were the same as Old Man Kongwu, whose cultivations had reached the peak Martial Monarch Realm.

"Three peak Martial Monarchs!"

"It has only been two hours and three peak Martial Monarchs are already here. I wonder how many will appear in the end!"

"Don"t forget about the ninth and eighth-layer Martial Monarchs..."

Many Martial Monarchs were astounded by the scene, whose hearts beat rapidly as they were unable to calm their thoughts!

Especially those who were only fourth or third-layer Martial Monarchs, their mental stability was greatly affected and it required a huge effort just to calm themselves!

This was the reason why not a single first-layer Martial Monarch had come and only a few from between the second to fifth-layer Martial Monarch Realm had come. Wouldn"t a first-layer Martial Monarch simply get themselves killed coming to such a grand occasion?

Even if they were keen to come, they could not afford to take the risk!

The world of Martial Monarchs obeyed the law of the jungle. Those with weak cultivations would surely be picked on by the others!

"This Frost Queen, I heard that she"s the Supreme Elder of the Jade-Lake Sacred Ground; as for Martial Monarch Cangsong, I think he"s a Martial Monarch of the Dead Spirit Tribe. Aren"t they supposed to be cultivating in seclusion in the Serene City..."

Sima Kong murmured when he saw the figures.

Qin Nan"s eyes flickered with astonishment when he heard Sima Kong"s words. He did not expect the guy who had sneaked into the Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce with a mere cultivation of the Martial Progenitor Realm would know so much information.

Following this, Martial Monarchs between the seventh-layer and the peak took turns to arrive at the Dragon Palace Dojo from all directions.

The total number of Martial Monarchs at the Dragon Palace Dojo reached one hundred and thirty-two and even six among them were peak Martial Monarchs.

That being said, some of the Martial Monarchs that were ranked between the first and fifth layers had come to the place, but after glancing at the dojo for a while, they left without hesitation.

Otherwise, the crowd on the dojo would be a lot bigger.

"What a surprise, many seniors are already here. Looks like I"m late to the party."

Suddenly, a gentle voice could be heard coming from the distance.

The voice seemed to have some sort of magic, which caused the dojo to fall quiet.

The crowd could only see a figure holding a feather fan walking toward the dojo, followed by three ninth-layer Martial Monarchs.

The figure"s t.i.tle was "Zhuang Wudao."
