Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1919 - For the Sake of Every Living Being

“Come…come to me…”

The voice was weak and dull. It was discontinuous, as if it would fade away in any second.

“There’s someone here?”

Qin Nan and Doom were shocked.

“Qin Nan, what should we do now?” Doom asked.

He was thinking of retreating seeing how strange the place was.

“Let’s check it out since Old Buddha Nantai wants us to come here in the first place.”

Qin Nan added after a brief pause, “Old Buddha Nantai obviously knows who I am. Therefore, he would know that apart from Liujie, Lu Gufeng and the other Exceptional Geniuses are in my hands too.”

“If anything happens and kills me, the Ancient Bodhi Temple will find themselves in great trouble too.”

His plan to capture the Exceptional Geniuses was extremely dangerous, yet it also guaranteed his safety as long as he held onto the hostages.

“You’re right!” Doom’s eyes glittered.

Qin Nan closed his eyes to identify the direction that the voice was coming from. He roughly had an idea and headed in the opposite direction of the Tree of Spirit.

A moment later, Qin Nan arrived before a hill.

The hill was less than a thousand zhang tall. It was thoroughly pitch-black and barren. It had an indescribable presence of death.

At the bottom of the hill was the entrance of a cave with no visible end.

“Come…come to me…”

The voice that had vanished for some time had returned. It sounded closer than ever.

Qin Nan slightly squinted. He held the Heaven-Shattering Saber and went inside the cave.

An icy breeze blew out of nowhere. Qin Nan felt a chill running down his spine even though he had already reached the early stage of the Peerless Ruler Realm.

It was the wind of the Netherworld.

According to ancient rumors, the wind only existed deep inside the Netherworld. If the wind swept like a storm, it could even sweep away human souls. Even a Nine Heavens Supreme was vulnerable against it.

However, the Netherworld Wind did not grow any stronger when Qin Nan ventured deeper into the cave. It was surprisingly weak. He could easily nullify it with the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames.

Time gradually passed. A few moments later, Qin Nan reached the end of the cave…

“This…”

Qin Nan and Doom’s eyes suddenly widened.

They saw eighteen faint-golden weapons including a sword, a pike, a nail, and many more nailing pitch-black corpses to the wall.

The corpses were covered in countless runes too.

On top of it, Qin Nan and Doom also sensed a faint energy from the corpses.

They were not dead.

“Ah, someone is here!”

“Save me, save me!”

“Get me out of here!”

Seventeen of the corpses struggled fiercely. Their howls filled the cave like claps of thunder. action

A terrifying aura began to surge wildly.

The Netherworld Wind suddenly grew a hundred times stronger. It started howling too.

“Crap!”

Qin Nan was startled. He quickly executed the Battle Dao Immortal Manuscript, the Scriptures of Sky Taihuang, and the Sanqing Mystical Scriptures to unleash tremendous Dao intents.

He engulfed himself in the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames too.

The seventeen corpses that were struggling to break free froze all of a sudden, as if they were shocked to see the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames.

“The Dao-Melting Immortal Flames? Aren’t those the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames? So you’re his successor!? This is great!”

The eyes of the eighteenth corpse that had remained silent since they came into the cave suddenly emitted two green rays followed by a tremendous aura.

“Give me your life!”

An overwhelming demon intent burst out of the corpse. It turned into a ghastly white hand grabbing at Qin Nan.

“Damn it, how dare that Old Buddha Nantai set us up on purpose!” Doom cursed.

He quickly performed a hand seal.

However, his beastly aura was too weak against the demon will. It did not stand a chance against it.

The mysterious corpse was at least a peak Nine Heavens Supreme!

Qin Nan’s expression shifted too. He quickly took out the White-Blue Flower.

An unexpected change took place.

The Divine Battle Spirit in Qin Nan’s body appeared on its own. A strong battle intent surged within the cave like a strong tide.

The demonic hand with an overwhelming aura froze in the air.

“Divine God of Battle! Damn it, how are you his successor!?”

The eighteenth corpse shrieked. Its overwhelming aura dissipated in an instant.

The rest of the corpses shuddered and fell silent too.

The cave returned to calm, leaving only the soft breeze of the Netherworld behind.

Qin Nan and Doom were dumbfounded. They did not expect these demons that insisted to take their lives just a moment ago would behave like this.

“They are unusually scared of the Divine God of Battle…”

A thought crossed Qin Nan’s mind.

“Qin Nan, I don’t think there’s any reason to stay here any longer. Let’s go, we should try if we can subdue the Tree of Spirit…mm? Since when is there a chamber here?”

Doom noticed a chamber nearby as he was talking.

The chamber was right beside the corpses. It was emitting a faint glow.

“Let’s go check it out.”

Qin Nan withdrew the Divine Battle Spirit and entered the chamber.

The chamber was tiny. There was nothing inside it apart from a burning blue candle on the left of the wall.

“There’s nothing here. What a waste of our time.”

Doom was slightly disappointed. He initially thought there must be some astounding treasure in a mysterious place like this.

‘Wait, there are words on the wall.”

Qin Nan noticed a layer of dust covering the wall that the candle was lighting up. He could barely see the outline of the words.

“Where are they? I don’t see anything. Are you sure?”

Doom took a close look at the wall and was utterly confused.

“You can’t see them?”

Flames flickered in Qin Nan’s eyes. He reached his hand out and swept the layer of dust away.

The words were carved onto the wall with a great sword. Each stroke possessed a remarkable intent.

“Cang has done everything for the sake of the world, but those imbeciles will never understand. They will never understand!”
