Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1138 - Ending Abruptly

It was Qin Nan’s first time feeling so furious since becoming a cultivator.

He had been planning to destroy the South-Heaven Gate because of the Divine God of Battle, but now he was determined to do it because of Jiang Bilan.

Tang Qingshan, Sima Kong, Mu Mu, and the others experienced various feelings in their heart, not knowing what to say.

As for the geniuses on the dojo, the previous joy on their faces was gone, as they were entirely terrorized by the overwhelming murderous intent and were scared they would infuriate Qin Nan further.

“Calm down!” At that instant, the mysterious woman inside the copper mirror said in a cold tone, “She’s not dead! She has turned into the Death Crystal. If she is able to completely comprehend the Death Manual on her own, she would be able to certify her cultivation and come back to life!”

“Not…not dead?”

Qin Nan was astounded.

This made him recalled Jiang Bilan’s words.

It did seem like Jiang Bilan was still not dead, as she still had a chance to come back to life.

“What’s the Death Manual? What do you mean by certifying her cultivation? How can I help her?”

It was as if Qin Nan had just seen a glimpse of light in endless darkness, urging him to blurt out the questions.

“That means achieving the Martial Monarch Realm on her own.” The woman’s tone was as cold as usual.

“Achieving the Martial Monarch Realm on her own?”

Qin Nan was astounded.

He clearly knew how difficult it would be to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm without external assistance here in the Canglan Continent, as the primary monarch force and primary god force was controlled by the Monarch Ranking and the God Ranking. It was utterly impossible to achieve the next realm without them.

How could she possibly do it?

Qin Nan’s mind was in an utter mess.

“Although it would be a difficult task, there’s a glimpse of hope for it.” The mysterious woman said, “It doesn’t hurt telling you, but you have to calm down first. Look at yourself.”

Qin Nan’s figure shuddered before he took a few deep breaths and said, “Please tell me what I can do. If I manage to save her life, I will be very grateful.”

“Firstly, place the Death Crystal into the rift. Only in there would she be able to comprehend the Death Manual in total darkness and loneliness.

“Secondly, you have to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm on your own. That way, you will break free from the control of the Monarch Ranking and the God Ranking, and find a way to retrieve the primary monarch force in the Canglan Continent to assist her.

“Thirdly, let her know that you’re still alive.”

As the mysterious woman finished her speech, the copper mirror fell silent.

If it weren’t because Qin Nan greatly valued the people around him, allowing her to see a reflection from her own past, she would not even have bothered about it.

Qin Nan was stunned for a while before his face was filled with determination.

He would achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, retrieve the primary monarch force and lend Jiang Bilan a hand when needed.

He would try his best as long as there was a glimpse of hope. Either way, he could never watch Jiang Bilan sacrifice her life for him.

“Jiang Bilan, don’t worry, I’ll achieve the Martial Monarch Realm and save you. Please don’t lose hope, you have to try your best to stay alive. I’ll be waiting for you here at the Canglan Continent…”

Qin Nan glanced at the Death Crystal and murmured. He then pierced his finger and let the blood drop onto the crystal.

The crystal shuddered slightly as it absorbed the blood.

Qin Nan finally stopped giving his blood when his face turned pale and his body began to shiver.

“Go.”

Qin Nan wore a complicated expression as he shattered the rift by flipping his hand and placed the crystal inside the rift.

He watched the crystal drift into the rift in silence and withdrew his gaze when it completely disappeared from his vision.

Right now, his priority was to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm!

Only then would he be able to help Jiang Bilan and get his revenge from the South-Heaven Gate!

“Qin…Qin Nan? Are you…are you alright?” Sima Kong hesitated for a very long time before he went up to Qin Nan and said in a cautious tone.

“I’m fine. She’s not dead yet, she’s still alive.” Qin Nan forced a smile onto his face as he turned to Tang Qingshan and the rest and said, “Thank you for all your help. I believe I don’t need to say too much about how grateful I am.”

Tang Qingshan, Sima Kong, Mu Mu, and the others could feel the stones floating in their hearts finally land on the ground.

Qin Nan’s previous appearance had been too terrifying.

“Mm? Why are the auras of you guys so much weaker?”

An ancient voice could be heard all of a sudden.

The crowd turned their heads and saw a white-haired old man slowly stepping out from the rift, who was none other than the spirit of the Monarch Ranking.

The white-haired old man was directing his gaze toward the nine Monarch Horoscopes with his eyes filled with doubts.

Even though Qin Nan had failed to inherit the Monarch Horoscopes, why would they suffer such a great loss of energy?

The auras of the nine Monarch Horoscopes were only equivalent to six Monarch Horoscopes.

The nine Monarch Horoscopes were startled, who replied by transmitting their voices.

“We were greatly affected when the process was interrupted with brute force.”

“Unlike merging with one Martial Tree, when we were interrupted while trying to merge with the nine Martial Trees, we somehow lost our primary monarch force.”

“The mysterious force inside Qin Nan’s body was too powerful, thus we could not withdraw in time when the process was interrupted.”

They did not tell the truth. They decided not to let the spirit of the Monarch Ranking know that Qin Nan had absorbed the primary monarch force equivalent to three Monarch Horoscopes.

They had done so because Qin Nan was determined to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, and he had managed to absorb the primary monarch force equivalent to three Monarch Horoscopes, thus he had a high chance of achieving the Martial Monarch Realm on his own.

Besides, they had never witnessed anyone achieving the Martial Monarch Realm on their own.

As such, they were willing to lie for Qin Nan’s sake, to prevent the Monarch Ranking from being suspicious and interfering with Qin Nan’s plan.

However, the nine Monarch Horoscopes never knew that their lie would end up preventing a huge problem for Qin Nan, which would give him a chance to topple the entire Canglan Continent.

“I see.”

The white-haired old man nodded without being suspicious. He glanced at Qin Nan with a complicated expression.

He did not expect the South-Heaven Spirit Envoy would be able to unleash such a terrifying force at the last moment, interrupting Qin Nan’s process of inheriting the Monarch Horoscopes. Otherwise, Qin Nan would have refined the flesh of nine Martial Monarchs by now, making him the only one in the history, thus making him a terrifying enemy of the South-Heaven Gate.

Although the South-Heaven Spirit Envoy had caused Jiang Bilan to lose her life, thus infuriating Qin Nan, it also meant that he had failed to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm now, and there was no second chance for him.

It did not matter if Qin Nan had surpassed the rules of cultivation, or how shocking and formidable his background was, he was still a Martial Progenitor. As such, he would only be considered an average chess piece for him.

In the past, he had considered Qin Nan to be the best piece he had found.

Having this thought, the white-haired old man let out a sigh as he turned to the crowd and said, “Due to the unforeseen circumstances, the nine Monarch Horoscopes have lost their energy. Therefore, the Monarch Horoscope Contest will end prematurely. Those who have yet to claim the Monarch Horoscopes can only do so in the next Monarch Horoscope Contest.”
