“Humph! The man has escaped, he certainly knows many strange moves! Huanglei, come with me. Chang Xiao, I’ll leave the rest to you.”

The terrifying existence said discontentedly and vanished. The Dao glow filling the sky dissipated too.

“Acknowledge!”

Supreme Chang Xiao and Supreme Huanglei brought their fists together and exchanged glances with one another. The latter nodded and left the Realm of the Sky.

The atmosphere finally calmed down.

“Did…did it really end?”

The crowd on the top of the mountain, including the Human G.o.ds and the authorities in the Heaven Immortal Realm were dumbfounded.

The Peerless Rulers felt like they had just survived a great disaster.

It had only lasted for less than a hundred breaths, but the terrifying clashes between the terrifying auras had brought too much of a shock to them. They thought the entire Realm of the Sky would collapse from it.

“Qin Nan!”

Envoy Feng Hua, the Bliss Immortal Emperor and his crew, Qiu Hong, Xu Xianzhi, and the Blood-Eye Human Immortal hurried over to Qin Nan with startled looks.

The cultivators collected their thoughts and s.h.i.+fted their attention to Qin Nan too.

The mysterious Nine Heavens Supreme had intruded into the Realm of the Sky to kill Qin Nan. He had managed to land his attack on Qin Nan too.

“Don’t worry, he’s not dead.”

Supreme Chang Xiao came over and flung his sleeves. A formidable immortal force entered Qin Nan’s body to mend his injuries.

“Not dead?”

Envoy Feng Hua, the Bliss Immortal Emperor, and the others immediately let out a relieved sigh.

“However, his Dao Foundation has been shattered. His Immortal Soul was seriously damaged too.”

Supreme Chang Xiao sighed and said with a complicated look.

“What? His…his Dao Foundation was shattered?”

Envoy Feng Hua and the others, and the rest of the Peerless Rulers, authorities, and cultivators were dumbfounded.

What did it mean that his Dao Foundation had been destroyed?

It simply implied that Qin Nan’s Martial Art mastery had dropped from the Greater Success Stage of the Dao Realm to the Four Extremities, meaning that Qin Nan had declined from an Exceptional Genius to a Peerless Genius.

Even though a Peerless Genius that had ascended had a bright future ahead too since they still had a chance of becoming a Peerless Ruler or even a Nine Heavens Supreme, granting the person a significant status in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

However, how was even comparable to an Exceptional Genius?

Even probing the Dao Realm was harder than ascending the Heavens. Not only did it require extreme talents, but it was only possible by acc.u.mulating significant fortunate encounters, let alone achieving the Greater Success Stage of the Dao Realm.

Besides, once the Dao Formation was destroyed, it was more than ten times harder to achieve the Greater Success Stage again.

“He’s supposed to be the Strongest Immortal whose reputation is going to s.h.i.+ne brightly like the moon. His future had no limits beyond everyone’s reach. But now, he has suddenly turned into a mere firefly?” Meng Jiugong was startled.

As the Young Master of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect, he had seen many people rising and falling, but it was his first time seeing someone falling from the top of the clouds to the bottom of the valley.

“This…”

Wu Huisheng, Yan Qingyan, the Peerless Geniuses, and the rest of the cultivators were stunned.

The whole sequence was unimaginably beyond their expectation. It felt like it was just a dream to them.

“HAHAHA!”

Unlike them, the Peerless Rulers of the Supreme Daoism factions were overjoyed. The South World Immortal Emperor, Long Xuanling, and Envoy Rong w.a.n.g were utterly glad.

Qin Nan’s fall simply meant they had one less potential threat to worry about.

Even though Qin Nan still retained his mastery of the Four Extremities, it was still very easy for them to take Qin Nan out.

Qin Nan finally recovered from the pain.

He did not say a single word after inspecting his body. He clenched his fists that were covered in blood tightly while his body was trembling.

“Qin Nan, I’m sincerely sorry. Someone already told me to take care of you before the Battle of the Strongest Immortal. But I didn’t expect…” Chang Xiao said with a sorry look.

If he knew better, he would have asked his master to set up a trap beforehand.

“Senior, it’s not your fault, the man tried to kill me. I’m already grateful that you’re willing to lend a hand to save my life.”

Qin Nan’s voice was a little hoa.r.s.e, yet he was being honest.

Supreme Chang Xiao fell silent after hearing the words. He let out a sigh in his heart.

Even though he did not know Qin Nan for long, he greatly admired the young man. He already decided to recruit him as his successor after the Battle of the Strongest Immortal.

But Qin Nan was basically done for.

“Feng Hua, tell everyone in the sect that from now onward, Qin Nan is a core disciple of the Sky Taihuang Sect. He’s also my honorable disciple,” Supreme Chang Xiao said after calming his thoughts.

“Senior…”

Qin Nan was startled.

“Acknowledge!”

Envoy Feng Hua brought his fists together and took out a badge to transmit the message to everyone from the Sky Taihuang Sect.

He was feeling ashamed and guilty too.

Even though there was nothing they could do to stop the cultivator in a gray robe, what was he supposed to tell the woman now?

“This is a badge to prove your ident.i.ty. You can come find me straight away with it.”

Supreme Chang Xiao took out a red jade and transmitted a thought to Qin Nan, “Qin Nan, I’ve stored three wisps of my will inside this jade. It can help you three times.”

He gave Qin Nan a thoughtful look before disappearing into the rift. It was the best he could do.

He was planning to visit his master and tell the Empress Feiyue what happened. It was necessary to find out who the cultivator in a gray robe was.

Most importantly, why was Qin Nan’s life endangered when he was only trying to ascend as an immortal?

“Qin Nan, you…”

The Bliss Immortal Emperor and his crew, Qiu Hong, and the others immediately surrounded Qin Nan. They were extremely worried, yet they had no clue what to say.

“Qin Nan! Aren’t you supposed to release them now?”

Heaven Immortal Wuchun, the Snow-Brow Heaven Immortal, and the rest of the authorities snapped and quickly surrounded Qin Nan
