Chapter 252 - The Aid from the Geniuses
“This is…”
A blank expression appeared on Qin Nan’s face.
He had not expected his Martial Emperor Core to trigger the Tribulation at such a crucial time.
“I get it now, it’s most likely that the pressure just now was too overbearing, causing the Martial Emperor Core to try and breakthrough due to the danger, resulting in the Tribulation!” Qin Nan’s heart shuddered as his eyes showed a hint of joy, “Very well, I shall make use of the pressure from the Martial Spirits of the two geniuses to refine the Martial Emperor Core and overcome the limitations of my Atavistic Cultivation!”
Qin Nan swiftly cleared his thoughts and spat out his Martial Emperor Core while being encapsulated within the sea of flames.
Following this, the Martial Emperor Core emitted a strong force of fire, directly resisting the sea of flames and forming a protective barrier around Qin Nan’s figure.
At the same time, the force of the Heavens and Earth began to accumulate.
Gusts of torrid wind swept across the surroundings all of a sudden, producing a whining sound, causing the temperature within sixty feet to rise rapidly.
“This…”
Cao Fan and Li Qingyu were stunned.
The genius disciples were all stunned too.
The Sect Leaders, the Hall Leaders, and the authorities inside the Sect Leader’s Hall wore astonished expressions. Even the eyes of the envoy of the Qinglong Sacred Area and Ouyang Ba were filled with a hint of surprise.
No one had expected Qin Nan to trigger the Tribulation when his life was at stake!
“A month, it’s only been a month!”
“What the f**k, within a month, his cultivation was improved from the second-layer Xiantian Realm to facing the Tribulation of the Martial Emperor Realm now!”
“What kind of luck does he have! Even a core disciple could not match his talent!”
“……”
The Hall Leaders and the others swiftly reacted, leaving blank expressions on their faces.
Despite their firm will, they could not remain calm after hearing such shocking news.
“What? In just a month?” Zhao Fang’s expression utterly changed. Although he was told that Qin Nan had had some sort of fortunate encounter which allowed his cultivation to vastly improve, he did not expect it to be this terrifying.
The envoy of the Qinglong Sacred Area and Ouyang Ba were both startled after hearing the words. They instinctively glanced at Old Shan who seemed to be unaware of their surprise while he stared at the White Jade Dojo. Following this, the two withdrew their gazes and exchanged glances with one another.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
A series of explosions could be heard.
The force of the Heavens and Earth was accumulated above Qin Nan, forming a cluster of stormy clouds covering an area with a radius of two hundred feet. Flashes of lightning could be seen within the stormy clouds together with claps of thunder, emitting a suppression which caused the faces of the crowd to turn pale.
The crowd of disciples was extremely stunned.
“Two hundred feet! It’s two hundred feet!”
Ouyang Jun burst out screaming among the crowd.
The Tribulation which ordinary cultivators experienced would usually accumulate a cluster of stormy clouds with a width of thirty feet. Even his own Tribulation had only been fifty feet wide.
However, How was Qin Nan’s Tribulation two hundred feet wide, which was four times of the width of his Tribulation?
Does this mean that Qin Nan’s Martial Emperor Core is four times stronger than mine?
Not only him, even the inner disciples of the Mystic Spirit Sect—including Ma Qian—were utterly stunned and inhaled sharply.
Initially, these inner disciples were unconvinced of the fact that Ouyang Ba had chosen Qin Nan to battle against the three geniuses. However, they had no choice now but to admit that Qin Nan was indeed stronger than them!
“Now that my Martial Emperor Core has formed, Tribulation of the Martial Emperor Realm, why aren’t you descending yet?”
It was as if Qin Nan’s severely injured flesh had totally recovered, which was now engulfed in flames and encapsulated within a powerful Saber Intent, his voice was filled with a hint of imperiousness.
Despite that, the lightning among the cluster of stormy clouds continued to grow, with no sign of striking down!
“How bold!”
Qin Nan fiercely uttered a roar. The force of Heavens and Earth had rejected to carry out the Tribulation. He then commanded his left eye of the Divine God of Batte to emit a golden glow, firing a stream of the Suppression of the Divine God of Battle toward the cluster of stormy clouds!
The Suppression of the Divine God of Battle, although it was still weak in terms of its strength, its suppression was capable of intimidating every creation when it was executed!
BANG!
The giant cluster of stormy clouds in the sky began to buzz, as the rolling thunder turned vigorous, as if the force of the Heavens and Earth was furious at Qin Nan’s behavior.
“Hmm?”
Qin Nan’s expression changed slightly.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The lightning within the stormy clouds was yet to descend, but the invisible forces of the Heavens and Earth formed waves of attacks targeting Qin Nan’s Martial Emperor Core, with the intention of knocking the Core back into Qin Nan’s body.
“This ain’t good!”
Qin Nan’s face turned pale as his figure was knocked three steps backward. As his Martial Emperor Core was being attacked, his body would receive the same amount of damage too.
“Damn it, I have to endure it. I must endure the consequences of taking the path of Atavistic Cultivation, in order for the Tribulation to be fully triggered!”
Qin Nan uttered a blasting roar and then clenched his teeth while commanding his Martial Emperor Core to resist the incoming attacks from the force of the Heavens and Earth!
At that instant, the crowd came to a realization.
It seemed like Qin Nan’s Martial Emperor Core was being rejected by the force of the Heavens and Earth, stopping him from becoming a Martial Emperor.
“Hehe, as expected of Qin Nan. Marvelous, daring to go against the force of the Heavens and Earth!” The Longhu Ancestor Beast mumbled in a drunken tone.
“Burp.” Princess Miao Miao wore a gloating expression.
Xiao Leng and the others sitting close to them were left speechless. These two Martial Ancestor Realm experts were mocking Qin Nan despite their support toward him.
“This isn’t good, he is an Atavistic Cultivator. As a consequence, he is being rejected by the Heavens and Earth!”
Cao Fan and Li Qingyu collected their thoughts and exchanged glances with one another.
As the first-ranked inner disciples from their sect, they surely knew the reason behind it.
“We should apply more pressure on the Martial Emperor Core with our Martial Spirits. The greater the pressure, with Qin Nan’s firm will, the Martial Emperor Core should be able to resist with a greater force. It’s possible that it would have another breakthrough, allowing it to shatter the rejecting force of the Heavens and Earth and trigger the Tribulation!” Cao Fan said after a slight hesitation.
“I agree!”
Li Qingyu swiftly nodded her head.
She was willing to assist Qin Nan in his breakthrough, as his strength was worthy of her respect.
“Alright! Let’s do it!”
Cao Fan and Li Qingyu glanced at one another. Following this, they both controlled their Demonic Flame Martial Spirit and Descending Cloud Martial Spirit to fire suppressive auras toward the Martial Emperor Core.
Buzz!
The Martial Emperor Core shuddered violently.
Qin Nan could feel a huge mountain crushing down onto him, causing his body to bend slightly forward, as his heartbeat and his blood flow intensified.
“You guys…”
Qin Nan was slightly startled, before he immediately realized that Cao Fan and Li Qingyu were purposely applying pressure so that his Martial Emperor Core would have another breakthrough!
“Qin Nan, let me lend you a hand too!”
At that instant, following a roar, Yang Yiming soared through the air while emitting golden rays from his back. The Imperial Sword Martial Spirit appeared behind him while he was in mid-air, which then gathered a powerful Sword Intent and launched it toward the Martial Emperor Core.
Under the pressure from three tenth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirits while facing the rejection from the Heavens and Earth, the Martial Emperor Core began to vibrate vigorously, as if it was going to break into pieces.
The crowd of disciples was dumbfounded.
Why are these three geniuses so shameless, to attack Qin Nan at such a crucial time?
Only the real geniuses and the group of Hall Leaders and the authorities discovered the truth with a glimpse, as their faces were filled with astonishment.
