Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 678: Dragon Qi Sparks Doubt

Chu Nan and the First Slaying Emperor had already exchanged several rounds, and as the battle deepened, he gradually understood the terrifying power of the First Slaying Emperor.

Undoubtedly, the First Slaying Emperor was indeed worthy of being a Ninth-Level Martial Artist, whether in combat will or methods, he was far beyond comparison with others.

Anyone else going against the First Slaying Emperor would probably be slain within two moves.

Yet Chu Nan was able to gradually close the gap between them through Martial Intent and Cultivation Foundation.

As Chu Nan got a rough understanding of the First Slaying Emperor’s techniques, he decided to no longer hold back.

"Chu Nan, prepare to die!" the First Slaying Emperor roared. Endless golden light continuously changed around him, obviously gold-attributed Spiritual Power, yet it resembled an erupting terrifying magma capable of engulfing all life in the world.

Killing intent-filled power surged forward, and at this moment, the killing intent in the First Slaying Emperor’s heart towards Chu Nan almost turned tangible.

This time, Chu Nan confronted the First Slaying Emperor’s sure-kill attack head-on, the power within his Dantian with the Yang Power Cloud Sea was surging madly.

The Cloud Sea Dao Pearls of seven attributes rotated continuously, erupting different attribute’s terrifying powers.

At the same time, waves of Martial Intent began to surround Chu Nan.

Fifth-level Blood Dao Martial Intent, fourth-level Sword Intent, Five Elements, Four Symbols power, third-level Light and Darkness, Yin Soul...

Not only did Chu Nan master the fifth-level Blood Dao Martial Intent, he also had many fourth-level Martial Intents comparable to or even vaguely surpassing those of the First Slaying Emperor, and quite a few third-level Martial Intents as well.

All these were obtained through cultivating various attribute inheritances in the True Martial Holy Hall. Every Martial Intent was gained through his dedicated cultivation.

With the power of these various Martial Intents aiding him, the heavens and earth responded to Chu Nan, granting him an incredibly fearsome and grand strength.

At this moment, there was even a dragon roar echoing in the sky.

The golden Dragon Qi looked like a layer of armor covering Chu Nan’s whole body, causing anyone who saw this scene to involuntarily feel a trace of fear.

Although Chu Nan wasn’t at the Ninth-Level realm, everyone felt the terrifying pressure of a Ninth-Level Martial Artist emanating from him.

A grand and terrifying wave came from Chu Nan’s body; facing the First Slaying Emperor’s killing blow, he heavily slashed out with a sword.

All the Spiritual Power in his body transformed into a galloping giant dragon, continuously emitting terrifying roars; this dragon was resplendent all over, treading upon dark red blood clouds, containing Five Elements power in its mouth, with drastic changes in the celestial phenomenon around it; wherever its body passed, everything would be torn apart and destroyed by this giant dragon.

Under the horrified eyes of everyone, the golden giant dragon directly tore the golden light released by the First Slaying Emperor into pieces and bit into his flesh.

"Hateful!"

The First Slaying Emperor’s mouth let out a shrill scream, unable to stop cursing at Chu Nan in anger.

His entire body was almost devoured by the giant dragon, constantly being torn by different forces.

The First Slaying Emperor only comprehended Gold Martial Intent to the fourth level, while Chu Nan, with just one of the Five Elements Martial Intents, could rival him.

If it weren’t for the cultivation disparity, the First Slaying Emperor would have already died under Chu Nan’s sword.

His large body turned into powder, blood mist scattered in the sky, and even the mask on his face showed cracks, a scene that terrified all Martial Artists watching from the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

Because it should be known the mask worn by the First Slaying Emperor was an imperial-grade Spirit Martial!

Crack!

Suddenly, the First Slaying Emperor took out a Holy Martial Giant Axe, exerting all his strength to cleave the dragon and then retreated rapidly to create distance.

The dragon’s power ultimately landed far away, creating a massive crater extending hundreds of miles outside Blood Evil City!

The face under the First Slaying Emperor’s mask was incomparably pale; he truly did not expect Chu Nan’s power had become so terrifying and strong, forcing him to use his battle Saint-grade Spirit Martial Weapon.

Chu Nan stood tall in the void, letting the violent storm blow against his body, staying unmoved.

However, he still subconsciously took a heavy breath, utilizing various powerful Martial Intents, exerting great pressure on his body, Dantian, and Sea of Consciousness.

If it weren’t for Chu Nan’s strong foundation, anyone else exerting such power would have already been devoured by the myriad forces and perished.

But fortunately, Chu Nan had Treasure Blood to restore his body’s state, and after waiting for hundreds of breaths, he could recover to a certain state and combat capacity.

Thus, Chu Nan looked at the First Slaying Emperor and said, "First Slaying Emperor, I’m giving you one last chance; surrender your Slaughter Emperor Sect to me and recognize me as your master."

"I can promise not to kill you."

Chu Nan had already demonstrated power not inferior to the First Slaying Emperor, even faintly surpassing him, making everyone feel that continuing the battle was meaningless; the First Slaying Emperor should wisely concede to save his life.

After all, Chu Nan represented not just himself; behind him were two Ninth-Level Martial Artists!

To everyone’s surprise, the First Slaying Emperor snorted coldly and, without responding, half-questioned, half-sighed, saying: "I didn’t expect you to truly harness the Earth Vein Dragon Qi that only the Qin Royal Family can wield."

"I’m really suspicious that you’re an agent sent by the Qin Royal Family to Southern Mo to deceive us and finally wipe us out in one fell swoop as a traitor!"

With these words, the expressions of the Slaughter Emperor Sect’s Martial Artists changed again.

Those who originally wanted to surrender to Chu Nan immediately changed their minds because the First Slaying Emperor made a valid point; Chu Nan could wield the Earth Vein Dragon Qi exclusive to the Qin Royal Family.

The Earth Vein Dragon Qi was once solely controlled by the Qin Royal Family, stronger than even Heaven-grade Spirit Martial weaponry.

Due to the presence of Dragon Qi, the Martial Artists of the Qin Royal Family were almost invincible within the same realm, weaving through battlefields as if aided by the gods.

Even before Qin mastered Ninth-Level Secret Techniques and Heaven-grade Spirit Martial Weapons, Dragon Qi was the most terrifying force of Qin.

And it was precisely Dragon Qi that provided the basis for Qin to unify the Celestial Crossing Realm.

For Qin, Dragon Qi was as precious as Heaven-grade Spirit Martial Weapons, never to be shared beyond those of royal blood.

Thus, after Chu Nan displayed the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, they involuntarily harbored doubts towards him.

If Chu Nan was indeed of the Qin Royal Family, then even if the First Slaying Emperor was defeated and they were cruelly slaughtered, they would never surrender!

"Master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, please explain the origin of your Dragon Qi!"

"That’s right, Dragon Qi is exclusive to the Qin Royal Family. How can you possibly possess it?"

"Speak up, are you a member of the Qin Royal Family?"

...

The Slaughter Emperor Sect members clamored, their gazes sharp as blades towards Chu Nan.

Jiang Meier couldn’t help but suspect Chu Nan’s true identity too; does he indeed have royal blood, or where else could the Dragon Qi come from?

Only Lu Daochang knew Chu Nan was not connected to the royal family and was about to explain when Chu Nan suddenly burst into laughter!
