Chapter 574 - Third Brother, You’re Finally Here (2/2)
“Protect Duan Qing!”
The Third Prince let out a roar as his figure was encapsulated within golden glows, which summoned over a hundred golden swords in Qin Nan’s surroundings that constructed a sword formation that protected Qin Nan from being ambushed by Heartbroken Beasts.
“Breath of Death!”
Jiang Bilan executed her strongest move without hesitation. A single breath instantly killed a few hundred Heartbroken Beasts, but it had little effect on the tide of beasts.
Longhu finally collected his thoughts. He did not expect to encounter such a huge number of Heartbroken Beasts. He uttered a roar as he charged toward the tide.
A terrifying battle had taken place.
The flickers of countless saber glows, skills, and abilities were able to create some space with brute force in the midst of the beast tide like a giant claw.
The team continued to press forward.
“We’re almost there…” Qin Nan scanned his surroundings with his left eye and predicted the attacks of the Heartbroken Beasts in his surroundings. His figure moved rapidly among the beasts like a phantom, dodging the rapid attacks before he leapt into the air.
“Slash!”
The roar felt like the raging cry of a demon.
Qin Nan raised the ancient saber in his hand while he accumulated the power of the Vermilion Bird Striking the Heavens, the Phoenix Soul-Consuming Fire, the left eye of the Divine God of Battle, Sky Thunder, Art of Heart-Calming and Demon-Expelling, etc. into a marvelous slash.
BANG!
The center of the tide was slashed open, revealing a huge path to the peak of the mountain.
“Golden Emperor Sky-Soaring Technique!”
The Third Prince let out a yell as his back emitted a vigorous golden glow, which transformed into a pair of giant golden wings. He then grabbed Qin Nan and the others with the golden glow summoned by his hand and dashed upward with a single flap of the wings, which resulted in a terrifying storm.
The Heartbroken Beasts in his surroundings were sent flying by the shockwave.
BANG!
The Third Prince’s wings disappeared as he landed on the ground panting heavily. In addition to him, Qin Nan and the others were breathing heavily too, as they had consumed a significant amount of energy in the battle.
“Shit, those Heartbroken Beasts are crazy…” Longhu was slightly intimidated. Luckily, the Heartbroken Beasts did not continue their chase to the peak. Otherwise, he would have to use his trump card as usual—run at will.
Qin Nan rolled his eyes at him before he glanced forward.
Following a glimpse, his eyes were filled with astonishment.
He could see a small lake at the top of the mountain. Its water was icy blue, emitting a rich aura of Qi as if it were a heavenly pond.
At the center of the lake stood a huge tree with a wide trunk. It was five zhang tall, surrounded by colorful flowers, thus only its top part was visible.
Pant pant.
The tree breathed rapidly like a living person. Each breath would cause ripples to form on the surface of the lake, producing an aura of the half-Martial Sacred Realm.
“That’s...the Dragon Abyss Tree!”
The Third Prince’s eyes were filled with fiery passion!
The Dragon Abyss Tree was a significant symbol in the entire Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom. Not only would its Dragon Abyss Fruit grant extraordinary benefits when consumed, the tree itself was a symbol of luck and fortune. As such, the prince that acquired the most number of the Dragon Abyss Fruits would be crowned the winner of the trial, and be acknowledged by the kingdom!
This was because the number of the Dragon Abyss Fruits served as a sign that the prince had obtained the approval of the Dragon Abyss Tree!
However, at that instant, an icy voice could be heard.
“Third Brother, you’re finally here. I, our Second Brother....have been waiting too long for this!”
