Chapter 1636 - Ascending as an Immortal on the Spot
"Sword Art of the Double Lives of Immortality!"
The two mysterious cultivators in white robes arrived.
They descended upon the place like deities, each drawing out a giant, silver sword from their sleeves and slashed at Qin Nan with a shocking sword glow.
Most strangely, from afar, the people could only see a single slash.
"That sword art, don"t tell me it"s from that place..."
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was shocked. He slowly backed off.
Even though the Tree of Immortal Transformation with the Ancient Principle Runes was very attractive to him, he knew he did not have a chance to secure it.
A huge battle was about to break out, thus it was the best chance for him to escape.
"Sky-Desolating Saber Art!"
Qin Nan seemed to have long predicted the attack. He slashed forward with all his might.
He already knew that the two cultivators possessed extraordinary power when he first arrived at the Land of Immortal Death.
"Eight Brilliance, keep them busy, once I refined the Tree of Immortal Transformation, I"ll give you the benefits that I"ve promised you!"
Qin Nan suddenly said.
"What benefits..."
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was startled. He soon felt a great chill running down his spine.
The two mysterious cultivators in white robes immediately cast a cold glance at him. Their swords unleashed a brilliance glow that transformed into a few hundred sword formations looming over him.
"Qin Nan, you piece of s.h.i.+t!"
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor"s skull shuddered.
The man had achieved the Greater Success Stage of the Dao Realm, and had such a formidable background, yet he still had to set him up like that?
"Cultivators, it"s a misunderstanding, I don"t even know him!"
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor resisted the incoming attack while blurting out.
He was well aware of the two mysterious cultivators" background. He would surely suffer serious injuries if he was to fight them with his current strength.
The two mysterious cultivators disregarded his words. They continued to attack both Qin Nan and the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor fiercely, leaving the latter in bewilderment.
"Gu Zhenyi and Long Chan, and the rest of the cultivators are going to arrive soon. I guess I"ll just refine the tree now!"
Qin Nan carefully observed the situation and knew a great battle was about to happen. He immediately gathered part of his focus to communicate with the seal on the Tree of Immortal Transformation.
Following it, wisps of immortal glow burst out from his forehead, shoulders, chest, waist, and other body parts.
From afar, it looked as if he had actually ascended as an immortal.
In addition to it, an ancient will blew deeply into his mind like a strong wind.
Even though the mountain, or the entire place was in utter chaos, Qin Nan felt oddly calm, as if he was separated from the world.
Something magical was rising in his heart.
"I see, no wonder the tree is called the Tree of Immortal Transformation!"
Qin Nan was in great shock.
He had came to an understanding within that instant.
When he was slaying the branches and the knights, he had already subdued the Trees of Immortal Transformation.
The trees only merged and evolved into the Tree of Immortal Transformation with Ancient Principle Runes in order to create a grand scene.
There were two criteria that had to be fulfilled when a Peerless Genius was trying to ascend as an immortal. First, the person had to acc.u.mulate enough Heaven G.o.d Force. Second, the person would need a grand scene.
"As I said, if you help me ascend as an immortal, I will not bring shame to your name!"
Qin Nan"s gaze stared right at the tree"s spirit.
Whoos.h.!.+
The leaves of the enormous tree suddenly turned crystalline and fell off the branches, pouring down like light rays before entering Qin Nan"s limbs at a shocking pace.
Countless immortal runes immediately covered Qin Nan"s figure.
Streams of pure energy surged into the G.o.d force inside his body like dragons.
On top of it, wisps of clear immortal intent merged with his soul in a magical way.
The ascension to immortality did not only consist of changing the G.o.d force into the immortal force, but it also involved evolving the person"s soul into the soul of an immortal.
Many cultivators had failed to ascend as their souls struggled to evolve. Normally, the only way for a person"s soul to evolve was to comprehend the secrets behind immortality, and no succession was able to provide any help.
It was why the Trees of Immortal Transformation were so precious, as they could simply guarantee a person to ascend as an immortal.
"Trying to ascend on the spot? Have you forgotten about I, Gu Zhenyi?"
A thunderous voice exploded in the air.
Gu Zhenyi"s hair stood on its end as he was shrouded in a crimson glow. He drew out a golden spear, over thirty zhang long, from the rift and hurled it in Qin Nan"s direction.
"Ami...tabha."
Long Chan who arrived from the distance murmured and placed his palms together.
A statue of glaring warrior attendant of the Buddha bathed in a Bodhi glow appeared and threw its palm forward.
"Kill!"
Han Tianxiao and the rest of the cultivators made it to the top of the mountain too. They immediately fired Immortal Arts at Qin Nan without hesitation.
They clearly knew that even if they plotting to let the Peerless Geniuses injure one another, they would have to stop the mysterious cultivator first.
If he managed to refine the tree and ascend as an immortal, all their efforts would be in vain.
"F**k!"
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was left speechless upon seeing what was happening, then looking at the rib that had just broken. He had the urge to send his regards to Qin Nan"s ancestors.
He was only trying to run away, yet why was it so difficult?
"Marvelous!"
The golden flames in Qin Nan"s eyes erupted when he saw the attacks. His blood hair drifted wildly in the wind.
"Sky-Stride Blow!"
Despite the overwhelming pressure, he did not back off. His figure vanished into thin air, before he reappeared in front of Gu Zhenyi and slashed at him.
"The True Scriptures of the Great Dao of Ultimate Life!"
Gu Zhenyi"s eyes widened. He immediately activated the Martial Art that he had practiced. Wisps of shocking auras burst out of his body.
Runes of the Ultimate Life were formed on his back.
In comparison to Little Peng Emperor Wan Xiao, Zhao Lijian, and the others. Gu Zhenyi seemed to be slightly stronger.
Even though there was no clear difference between the Peerless Geniuses in terms of strength, those from Supreme Daoism Factions were most likely to be stronger than the others.
The Art of Dao Seeking, even if they had only learned the basics, still resulted in a great difference.
"White Flying Spirit!"
Qin Nan performed a hand seal.
Meanwhile, he glanced around him and saw Immortal Arts targeting him. He immediately weaved through them with the Unstoppable Step.
The branches of the enormous Tree of Immortal Transformation fell off and turned into countless rays slas.h.i.+ng down at Qin Nan"s head.
