My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 613 The Path to Heaven

As Zhou Nan entered Cai Tian Mountain, he saw a hiltless longsword with its tip pointing to the sky, vibrating rapidly and emitting a clear sword ringing sound.

"The Sword of Heaven's Decree! Oh no, too late!"

Zhou Nan murmured to himself, and without any hesitation, he attacked the longsword, playing a blue card called [Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal].

With a bang, the nuclear-powered sword immortal, clad in white robes, appeared and grabbed at the hiltless longsword.

Then, despite being called a sword immortal, the nuclear-powered sword immortal made a mistake. As soon as his hand approached the hiltless longsword, it was as if he had grasped a bomb. With a loud bang, it exploded. The nuclear-powered sword immortal's entire arm was blown to pieces, and his body was also affected, rapidly cracking. After a breath, he turned into white light and disappeared.

This card has been destroyed!

Zhou Nan's expression hardened, and he unleashed the Nine Subduing Dragon Palms technique once more, employing techniques such as [Wind Phase], [Sea-Stabilizing Needle], and [Boundless Compass] in his rage, attempting to subdue and suppress the longsword.

However, all of them ended in failure.

The sword was both sinister and powerful, automatically radiating terrifying sword energy that made it impossible for anyone to approach.

Zhou Nan also sensed that the sword seemed to be accumulating power, wanting to leap through space and leave this place.

"This sword is malevolent; if we allow it to escape, it will surely bring disaster in the future. How can we seal it or intercept it?"

Zhou Nan had no other choice for the moment, but he dared not stop. He quickly made blue low-star cards such as Crab Sword King, Old Dragon King, and Super Demon, and taught them to attack the Heaven-Cutting Sword as much as possible.

At the same time, Zhou Nan also established contact with Zhou Shabao and sent him his heartfelt thanks.

"Sandbag, if we want to intercept or seal the Heaven-Slaying Sword, what cards should we use?"

Zhou Shabao seemed to sense Zhou Nan's urgency and quickly transmitted a telepathic message: "I have no knowledge of the Sword of Heavenly Judgment, and I lack detailed data to support my calculations, so I cannot create cards based on it. I'm sorry, Dad!"

Unwilling to give up, Zhou Nan asked again, "Are there any powerful sealing cards?"

"Dad, try using the Nine-Story Pagoda Card, also known as the Pagoda Suppressing River Demon Card!"

"good!"

Zhou Nan snapped out of his daze, his mind racing, and quickly created a series of blue nine-story pagoda cards. He used them immediately, and small nine-story pagodas instantly appeared around him.

Those nine-story pagodas suspended in mid-air, each radiating light from its base, unleashing a devouring glow upon the blue longsword.

hum hum...

The blue longsword began to vibrate even more violently.

The Devouring Light is effective against it, but absorbing it is also difficult.

"These small towers alone are not enough!"

Zhou Nan thought to himself that if he had accumulated nine black star nine-layer pagoda cards before, using them now might have an effect, but now, the small cards made on the spot are too weak.

He wouldn't stop; since the nine-story pagoda was somewhat effective, he would keep making them.

In the fifth layer of deep space, the black-haired man at the heart of the giant lotus flower is currently summoning the Heaven-Slaying Sword. His power can penetrate deep space, and summoning the Heaven-Slaying Sword is not difficult. Once the sword is formed, it should fly here on its own.

But clearly, a force was holding it back, preventing it from flying smoothly.

"It seems that Lord Cantian and his group... have been defeated. They couldn't even stop the invaders?"

The black-haired man's expression hardened. Although he had a great connection with this deep space, his true body was trapped here, which meant he was in a suppressed state. It was very difficult for his power to penetrate the deep space, especially the sixth layer. Even if he exerted ten thousand parts of his power, he probably wouldn't be able to reach the eighth layer and apply it to the Heaven-Cutting Sword.

"Damn it, once I'm free, I'll slaughter these ants!"

The black-haired man spoke coldly. Although summoning the Heaven-Slaying Sword would take some effort, he was 100% confident.

However, Zhou Nan kept creating nine-layered pagoda cards, causing the devouring light wrapped around the Heaven-Cutting Sword to increase, thus delaying it for an hour and preventing it from breaking through the sky.

This time, Badas, Jian Jiujiu, and others entered Caitian Mountain.

Previously, Yang Tianjun and Hong Tianjun outside the mountain had been killed, and the Heaven-Turning Seal held by Badas played a decisive role.

On the other hand, the Dragon Slayer Empire also suffered considerable losses, with more than three hundred people killed in battle.

Upon seeing the scene in the mountains, Badas, Jian Jiujiu, and the others quickly launched an attack on the Heaven-Cutting Sword, using it as a target to unleash their full power.

With a buzzing sound.

Zhenguo Gong Badas used the Heaven-Turning Seal.

The seal descended from the sky, transforming into a massive structure the size of a house, and slammed violently onto the floating Heaven-Cutting Sword.

Instantly, a bright light burst forth from the point of impact, like a thunderclap, and an immense force surged around, causing the entire Caitian Mountain to shake as if it were about to collapse and split open.

Once the force subsided slightly, everyone looked again and saw that the Heaven-Cutting Sword and the Heaven-Turning Seal were locked in a stalemate, with the Heaven-Cutting Sword below and the Heaven-Turning Seal above. One could not fly away, and the other could not take a shortcut; they seemed to be evenly matched.

"Everyone, gather your strength once more! This sword is newly forged, and its power is not yet stable. We can take it down!"

Encouraged by this sight, Zhou Nan shouted and focused his mind on creating the purple nine-story pagoda card.

Jian Jiujiu and the others' attacks were also quite fierce. After less than ten minutes, a loud cracking sound, like thunder, rang out.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword beneath the Heaven-Turning Seal shattered, breaking into three pieces in an instant.

Cracks also appeared on the Heaven-Turning Seal, and this great emperor's divine weapon was also damaged to some extent. At this moment, the Heaven-Cutting Sword was broken and immediately lost its power. There was no power that could contend with it. It crashed to the ground with a loud bang, shattering half of the Heaven-Cutting Mountain.

Of the three fragments that the Heaven-Cutting Sword had transformed into, one was smashed into the ground by the Heaven-Turning Seal. The other two fragments bypassed the Heaven-Turning Seal and tried to escape into space, but Zhou Xiaonan and the twelve Abyss Angels used their abilities to summon the entrance to the Tiger Abyss, which sucked one of the fragments in.

In this way, the fragments are trapped in the abyss, and whether they can escape is probably only up to the Lord of the Abyss.

However, the last fragment eventually vanished into the void, disappearing in an instant.

Zhou Nan said at this moment, "It's alright, but we failed to completely destroy the Heaven-Slaying Sword! I wonder where that escaped segment went, and what kind of impact it will have..."

He didn't have time to dwell on it; he was now searching for the three coffins of the Heavenly Dao.

Although the three coffins were empty, they still contained a lot of information about deep space. Zhou Nan hoped to gain a better understanding of the Sword of Heavenly Decree through that information so that he could deal with it if he encountered it again in the future.

In the distant fifth layer of deep space, within the enormous lotus flower, the black-haired man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His expression was filled with anger as he swung the hilt of his sword. With a whoosh, a palm-sized fragment of the sword appeared out of thin air and joined the hilt in the black-haired man's hand, making it a broken sword.

"Damn it! Wutian, Ditian, and Lantian, the three Heavenly Daos, sacrificed their lives to feed the sword, spending endless time to finally condense the perfect Heaven-Slaying Sword. Yet this sword has been destroyed, with only a fragment coming to me. It can be said that countless efforts have gone to waste. How hateful, how hateful!"

The black-haired man suddenly roared to the sky, and his roar caused the huge blue lotus beneath him to tremble violently, which was also transmitted to other layers of deep space.

He was venting his frustration and also announcing to the entire deep space that he was about to escape!

Even a small fragment of the Heaven-Cutting Sword flying over greatly increased his power, allowing him to try to break free from the Chaos Green Lotus's seal.

The black-haired man's long howl awakened countless hidden beings in the deep space, and at the moment of its end, the deep space world finally launched an attack on Earth.

At this moment, outside the deep space, outside the Martial Star Realm, countless pitch-black vortexes suddenly appeared. Each vortex was a passage that was quickly opened, and various deep space creatures flew out from them, including war puppets, Thorne people, divine beings, ruins, and so on.

Those beings, obeying the will of deep space, finally began a large-scale invasion.

"The Star Wheel Realm is still developing; in the future, it will serve as a barrier for Earth, preventing the power of deep space from descending!"

A thunderous sound rang out; it was the Dragon Slayer Emperor Li Hanqiang speaking.

As soon as he finished speaking, outside the Martial Star Realm, gates of the sea of ​​clouds appeared one after another, confronting the suddenly appearing black vortexes. Then, sword immortals, mechs, demon kings, Daoist innate beings, and so on flew out of those gates of the sea of ​​clouds.

A great battle broke out, and it was incredibly intense from the very beginning.

At this moment, Zhou Nan was unaware that the will of deep space had already launched an invasion war against Earth; his attention was focused on the three coffins of the Heavenly Dao.

The coffin contained a large amount of data information that was invisible to others, but Zhou Nan could absorb it with the Emperor Sword.

In fact, those three coffins could also be considered treasures.

Zhou Nan called them "Heavenly Coffins" and planned to take them for his own use.

He could be certain that the Heavenly Coffin contained powerful sealing forces, and any ordinary being trapped inside would have no chance of escape.

Zhou Nan wanted to refine them into cards, which wasn't a particularly difficult task.

After absorbing and digesting the data in the Heavenly Coffin, Zhou Nan realized that the Heaven-Cutting Sword was actually created by the three Heavenly Daos, Wu Tian, ​​Di Tian, ​​and Lan Tian, ​​who voluntarily sacrificed themselves to feed the sword, condensing all their power and pouring it into the Heaven-Cutting Sword, ultimately bringing it to perfection.

Unfortunately, the efforts of these three Celestial Venerables were in vain. Although the Heaven-Cutting Sword was forged, it was immediately shattered.

As for Badas, Jian Jiujiu, and the others, they suffered heavy losses in this battle and rested in Caitian Mountain.

About thirty days later, Zhou Nan completely absorbed the information from the three Heavenly Coffins, and with the help of Zhou Shabao, he created the "Heavenly Coffin" series of cards.

The function of the Heavenly Coffin is to seal and imprison.

Zhou Nan hopes that the strongest Heavenly Coffin Black Card can take the Heavenly Dao into the coffin and then seal it!

Of course, the Heavenly Coffin Black Card is not so easy to create. Zhou An can now create Heavenly Coffin White Card, Heavenly Coffin Green Card, and Heavenly Coffin Blue Card at will. Beings below level 500 can be sealed at will with the Heavenly Coffin Blue Card.

"It's time to head to the ninth level of deep space!"

Zhou Nan stood up and strode towards the back of Caitian Mountain.

The passage connecting to the ninth level of deep space has long been discovered, but this passage is strange and has a strong repulsive force. Ordinary people can't even get close to it, let alone enter it, as they will be bounced back.

Zhou Nan stood still before the entrance, silently sensing its surroundings.

He could vaguely sense that the ninth level of deep space was very small, and that it shouldn't be difficult for him to go there.

"The ninth layer of deep space is the last layer of deep space. Perhaps Li Hanqiang himself and the Wish-Granting God King are inside. At this moment, I will go and take a look."

Zhou Nan strode towards the passage, feeling a powerful resistance, as if the passage were a sluice gate from which an endless stream of water rushed, hindering his progress.

This resistance could make it impossible for Badas, Jian Jiujiu, and others to move an inch, but Zhou Nan could withstand it.

He walked into the passage step by step, and the scenery before his eyes turned into a chaotic mess. One minute, ten minutes, half an hour, an hour...

Zhou Nan walked quietly, feeling as if the passage was endless. Suddenly, he found himself standing on a staircase.

The steps led upwards, not shrouded in the smoky, chaotic aura, and it was unclear where they led. The resistance at the top of the steps was even greater, and Zhou Nan found it somewhat strenuous to step onto them.

Zhou Nan walked up those steps for another three days, feeling extremely exhausted. Each step required a great deal of effort, and he felt he could hardly continue. But at that moment, Zhou Nan spotted someone in the passageway.

The man, dressed in a long robe with wide sleeves, knelt on the steps, facing upwards, motionless.

Zhou Nan mustered his strength and painstakingly made his way to the man's money, only to find that the man was already dead, his body still on the steps, facing an unreachable place.

"Who is this person? Did he die of exhaustion in this passage?"

This discovery made Zhou Nan tense, realizing that entering this passage was risky. If he forced his way forward and even with his strength at its limit, he still wouldn't be able to resist the resistance of the stairs, and would probably end up like the person who died kneeling on the stairs.

Zhou Nan stopped, but did not return the way he came. He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the steps, earnestly cultivating his qi and accumulating cards.

Three months later, Zhou Nan resumed his journey. This time, he climbed 1,222 steps before finally collapsing from exhaustion. He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and continued his cultivation on the staircase.

From this vantage point, he could vaguely see the end of the steps, where a grand hall appeared to be located.

Ahead, there seemed to be another traveler, whose identity was unknown. He also seemed to be moving forward, but he could not take a step for a long time, as if he had reached his limit. However, he was unwilling to retreat and, like Zhou Nan, began to meditate and rest.

Two months later, Zhou Nan had adapted to the pressure of the steps and climbed upwards again. It took him three days to climb only 156 steps before he felt his strength waning and sat down cross-legged.

And this position is less than 100 meters away from the traveler in front.

The man noticed Zhou Nan's presence, sighed, and said, "There's another person on this Path to Heaven!"
