Chapter 1325 - The Shocked Crowd
"Did he really cross just like that?"
The two great geniuses, Sheng Tianjing and Zhuang Cidao, and the authoritative figures, Old Man Kongwu, the Frost Queen, and the others" eyes widened when they saw the scene before them.
The joy on the faces of Xuesha, Taoyan, and Leiyuan froze too.
What just happened?
How did Duan Qing and his friend cross the three formations within the formation so easily?
Could this be some kind of coincidence again?
Before they could collect their thoughts, Qin Nan who had soared into the sky continued flying forward!
BANG!
At that instant, the ground within a few dozen li crumbled, revealing a pitch-black abyss with an endless bottom. From the abyss, a b.l.o.o.d.y hand reached out with a murderous aura as if it had come from h.e.l.l and grasped in Qin Nan"s direction!
Following the grasp, the Heavens and Earth were dyed the color of blood, as if the entire place was sealed off by some force, not allowing anyone to escape!
It was an ancient death trap, known as the b.l.o.o.d.y Hand of the Abyss!
Although its strength was not as strong as the three formations within the formation from before, it was more unpredictable and was able to trap its target entirely. Once triggered, the target would not be able to dodge it and would be forced to face it head-on!
"Break!"
Qin Nan"s expression remained the same. He waved his hand and slashed forward with saber intent!
BANG!
A shocking scene took place once again. The terrifying b.l.o.o.d.y Hand of the Abyss was like a tiny ant under the saber intent, which was completely erased!
"Come out now!"
Qin Nan"s hair drifted to the wind as he flicked his finger forward, firing a stream of Destruction Will like an arrow!
As the Destruction Will pa.s.sed the areas ahead, several terrifying auras were awakened like bamboo shoots after a rain. Some of the infamous formations including the Wuji Demon-slaying Formation, the Sky-Piercing Pikes, the Throne of the Dragon Emperor, the Rule-slaughtering Spear, etc. were activated simultaneously!
At that instant, the sky above the place was dyed a mix of colors due to the glows that the traps were emitting. Even the entire boundless Golden Dragon Valley began to tremble vigorously!
"All...all the traps and forbidding auras?"
Every Martial Monarch could feel a chill running down their spines, as they could not help but feel minuscule facing the terrifying traps and forbidding auras!
They clearly knew that death was inevitable if they were to rush into the traps!
Whoos.h.!.+
Qin Nan"s figure moved once again, who soared like an enormous bird fully extending its wings. He continuously dodged the traps in an imperious manner. At times, his figure became blurry and illusionary as if he were possessed by a phantom!
His right arm exploded into the Heaven-Shattering Saber, which slashed toward the traps and forbidding auras in succession, firing saber intents in all directions!
At that instant, it felt like time had slowed down!
The Martial Monarchs could clearly see the two figures dodging and shattering the infamous traps and forbidding auras!
A hundred breaths later, as the final trap was completely evaded, the two dashed out from the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Upper Section and arrived at the entrance of the Purple-Golden Battle Dragon Path!
"It worked!"
Although Sima Kong had been prepared for it mentally, he could not help but blurt out in joy when he landed on the ground. After all, the traps and forbidding auras were absolutely terrifying. Just a little mistake would have cost them their lives!
ROAR!
A tremendous roar burst out from the five Five-clawed Golden Dragons floating in the sky. They spat out five streams of golden dragon Qi which landed on Qin Nan and Sima Kong"s figures!
The streams of golden dragon Qi vibrated vigorously and circled their figures rapidly. A few breaths later, they formed a majestic armor on their figures with an overwhelming dragon might!
The armor on Qin Nan"s figure, in particular, was glowing brilliantly. The two dragon heads on his shoulders looked majestic and real as if they were going to come alive at anytime!
The armor was the reward that the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Upper Section had given to Qin Nan and Sima Kong, known as the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Battle Armor. Only those who managed to cross the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Upper Section perfectly unharmed would be rewarded with the armor!
"This..."
Sheng Tianjing, Zhuang Cidao, Old Man Kongwu, the Frost Queen, Martial Monarch Cangsong, and the others were incredibly astonished by what they had just witnessed.
Crossing the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Upper Section in less than a hundred breaths" time. How significant was that?
It would be impossible for any Martial Monarch to achieve that, even those who had just achieved the Martial G.o.d Realm would have trouble doing the same thing!
But now Duan Qing had done it!
Besides, it was definitely not a coincidence, as no coincidence would allow someone to cross the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Upper Section!
Suddenly, the Martial Monarchs were even more astounded as they recalled something!
The two had chosen the best Dragon-scaled Bridge too!
None of it was achievable even with some law-defying capabilities, not to mention that Duan Qing"s aura was only at the first-layer Martial Monarch Realm!
The only explanation was that the two possessed a map of the forbidden ground!
The map that contained every piece of information about the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace!
Only then would they be able to do what they had done!
"Duan Qing...Duan Qing does have a map, which means...everything that he said on the dojo wasn"t a feint?"
A ninth-layer Martial Monarch took a deep breath!
Hearing this, everyone"s heart shuddered!
At the start, when Duan Qing had been picked on by the trio, he had mentioned that he would bring whoever was willing to team up with him to the deepest part of the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace by overcoming all the traps and forbidding auras!
However...
None of them had believed him!
In addition to that, they had even mocked and looked down on him!
At that instant, complicated thoughts crossed the minds of the crowd!
If they had chosen to form an alliance with Duan Qing at the start, wouldn"t they be standing in front of the Purple-Golden Battle Dragon Path now and be able to enter the deepest area of the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace with ease?
"Cultivator World"s Imperious Ruler, I will tell you how to cross. Come over."
Standing at the entrance of the Purple-Golden Battle Dragon Path, Qin Nan did not move, but glanced at the World"s Imperious Ruler and his crew and said smiling.
