Chapter 1990

“Bring some men to the seventh Sacred Area at once and kill Qin Nan at all costs. Remember to keep an eye on the people of the Mumen Sect and the Heaven-Slaying Sect. You may join hands with the Shidao Tribe if necessary!”

“The Ancient Taboo must be making its move too. We must capture Qin Nan before them. We can’t let him die!”

“The successor of the Fifth Immortal, sounds interesting, I shall go and take a look.”

The formidable factions immediately made their moves.

Similarly, the mysterious existences who were curious about Qin Nan and the Exceptional Geniuses who heard of Qin Nan’s name shared the same reaction too.

Many cultivators were astounded too.

Among the ten Exceptional Geniuses that were listed by the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect, the news related to Qin Nan was getting the most attention.

The influence of the rest of the Exceptional Geniuses was significantly weaker in comparison.

As for Qin Nan, he was not too concerned about whether people had learned his whereabouts after he went into the sacred area.

He completely lost his thoughts upon witnessing the sight before him.

The scenery changed when the Heaven-Shrouding Beast flew across the gray sky. Clouds with nine different runes had clustered together like a sea.

The clouds were illusionary. Qin Nan could not touch them when he reached his hand forward. However, for some reason, the Heaven-Shrouding Beast was able to run on the clouds.

In addition to it, the sea of clouds would move every now and then, thus it was meaningless to memorize the route to the Supreme Blood Altar even if someone had been to it with the help of the Heaven-Shrouding Beast before.

“Mm? There are traps in this sea of clouds too?”

Qin Nan raised his brows when he saw the concealed formations. He flicked his finger and encapsulated the Heaven-Shrouding Beast with a layer of immortal glow.

The traps were not too powerful. A Peerless Ruler in the early stage could easily handle them.

A moment later, several figures were seen riding Heaven-Shrouding Beasts across the sea of clouds too. Some were Peerless Rulers in the early stage, and some had reached the peak Peerless Ruler Realm.

They only gave Qin Nan a quick glance before withdrawing their gaze.

“I wonder how long it’s going to take.”

Qin Nan shook his head. He closed his eyes and calmed his thoughts.

Time gradually passed. An hour later…

There were more than seventy Heaven-Shrouding Beasts on the clouds, each carrying one, or two cultivators. They looked like an army from afar.

Unlike previously, the sea of clouds was no longer boundless on both sides. Mountains, forests, and palaces with mystical glows began to show up around them.

Some cultivators hesitated briefly after seeing the palaces. They eventually turned around and headed toward them instead.

It was something special about the seventh Sacred Area. There were many fortunate encounters and lands of successions available along the journey to the Supreme Blood Altar.

However, once they set foot into these places, the Heaven-Shrouding Beast would die instantly. The cultivators would have to return to the starting point to look for another Heaven-Shrouding Beast to bring them to the Supreme Blood Altar.

Two hours later, Qin Nan and many cultivators opened their eyes simultaneously.

They realized the sea of clouds had turned red like it was covered in blood.

A faint will of the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm lingered in the air.

The Heaven-Shrouding Beasts finally came to a stop. They were crying continuously.

The cultivators clearly felt a terrifying existence not far ahead which seemed to have existed eternally.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A blinding glow immediately encapsulated Qin Nan and the other cultivators. They turned into rays of light and flew forward.

“Is that…the Supreme Blood Altar?”

Qin Nan came to a stop a few moments later.

An island covering a distance of more than a hundred zhang stood in the vast sea of bloody clouds. There was no sign of plants or rocks on it. It had a perfectly flat surface, like a natural dojo.

On the island were more than thirty figures, each emitting a shocking immortal glow as they were fighting one another with Dao Arts, resulting in a series of deafening blasts. The battle was absolutely intense.

A crimson red platform with a length and height over nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang covered in countless runes was floating above the island.

It was none other than the Supreme Blood Altar!

More than twenty cultivators sat on it with their legs crossed as they were comprehending.

The altar was emitting wisps of ancient auras into the surroundings. Even Qin Nan was startled by the auras.

The other cultivators received a powerful blow from the auras too.

The altar’s presence was beyond terrifying. It was obviously beyond the level of a Nine Heavens Supreme.

“HAHAHA, the Supreme Blood Altar, I’ve finally found it! I can finally comprehend the Art of Dao Seeking!”

A bulky middle-aged man was standing not far away from Qin Nan. He was the first to burst out laughing and charged at the Supreme Blood Altar.

“If you don’t follow the rules, we will target you first!”

Following an icy voice, the cultivators who were fighting one another immediately glared at the middle-aged man simultaneously.

Even though the middle-aged man was a Peerless Ruler in the Greater Success Stage, his body tensed subconsciously as his forehead was covered in sweat. He did not dare to take another step forward.

Qin Nan quickly glanced at the island and saw a line of words at the bottom left corner followed by a huge red handprint.

“When I first discovered the Supreme Blood Altar, I realized how powerful it was. It would be meaningless if people kept fighting one another to secure themselves a spot on the altar. Therefore, those who want to secure a spot on the altar shall enter the island and be granted a blood talisman on their waist. Those with three blood talismans will secure a spot on the altar.”

“If anyone tries to break through with force, the rest of cultivators will take them down. Those who insist to break the rules will be exterminated.”

“Only sixty people are allowed on the altar at a time.”

“It’s a covenant between righteous cultivators. There’s no need to swear an oath for it. However, you are advised to follow them to prevent a bloodbath from happening.”

Qin Nan could not help but agree.

If there were no rules, it would only be a disaster if the cultivators kept fighting one another to secure a spot on the altar.

Qin Nan and many cultivators immediately entered the island.

Bloody rays burst out of the line of words and formed a blood talisman on their waist.

“I need two more!”

Qin Nan’s eyes burst into white flames as he scanned the cultivators nearby.

“Kid, consider yourself unlucky!”

A man in a white robe pointed his sword at Qin Nan. However, his expression shifted tremendously as soon as he emitted a sword intent. He blurted out, “Qin Nan?”
