Peerless Battle Spirit Chapter 1270 - The Age-Old Heavenly Boulder

Sometime later, Qin Nan was brought to a mysterious place in the Star-Devouring s.p.a.ce under the guidance of the sword sheath.

The Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d was standing in the air ahead with a magnificent aura. Before him stood a fifty zhang tall pitch-black door, with twisted black rays and flickering runes on it. It was impossible to tell what was inside. The door was unleas.h.i.+ng black rays into the sky nearby. Given enough time, it would eventually dye the entire sky black.

"Let's head inside."

The Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d had always been brief and open with his words. He withdrew the sword sheath with a wave and stepped through the door.

Despite having many questions in his mind, Qin Nan quickly followed behind his senior.

After stepping through the door, Qin Nan could feel a shudder, as if a giant hand had reached out from the darkness and grabbed his body. He soon found himself at an unfamiliar place. As he touched the ground, a great chill exploded in his heart.

Qin Nan's figure tensed as he glanced ahead with his left eye.

Following a glance, even he received a tremendous shock.

Before him and the Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d lay a wide path that seemed to be part of an ancient battlefield, with a rotting aura lingering in the air. On both sides of the path were thirty-six ancient palaces, tombs, and gardens. On each of their entrances hung a wooden board, with characters written with powerful strokes!

They were the tombs of the h.e.l.lfire Martial Monarch, the Soul-Tribute Martial Monarch, the Forbidden Magic Martial Monarch, the Sky-Convert Martial Monarch, the Heaven-Destruction Martial Monarch, the Nefarious Hatchet Martial Monarch, the Skycycle Martial Monarch, etc.!

The thirty-six palaces, tombs, and gardens were the tombs of Martial Monarchs!

In addition to that, further down the road stood five enormous mountains, each shrouded by a faint, white mist. They looked rather dead, but somehow, they seemed more intimidating than the thirty-six Martial Monarchs’ tombs!

Buzz!

Suddenly, several formations came to life among the tombs, as terrifying auras burst out from the distance. It felt like the thirty-six Martial Monarchs were not dead yet and were being awakened!

"Is that..."

Qin Nan was shocked!

He could see a tremendous life force coming from the formations!

Could it be that these thirty-six Martial Monarchs were still alive?

"The thirty-six Martial Monarchs here are indeed dead, but their corpses are still in perfect condition, plus the Disaster Martial G.o.d has used some law-defying formation to preserve their wills. Therefore, even after fifteen thousand years, only a small part of their will has dissipated."

The Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d said calmly.

"Fifteen thousand years ago? They are Martial Monarchs from fifteen thousand years ago? Which means they achieved the Martial Monarch Realm on their own?"

Qin Nan immediately recalled something when he heard the explanation.

The Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d had mentioned before that the cultivators of the Canglan Continent had been able to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm on their own around fifteen thousand years ago.

"Not quite, as none of them managed to refine the Dao Pattern fifteen thousand years ago, and they were also restricted after the changes in the past fifteen thousand years."

The Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d said while shaking his head.

"So it seems like the Dao Pattern is necessary to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm on my own."

Qin Nan mumbled to himself. He could not help but exclaim when he realized something.

He finally understood why the Six Great Forbidden Grounds were considered second to the Three Great Factions. As a matter of fact, the Six Great Forbidden Grounds used to be stronger than the Three Great Factions.

The Martial Monarch Tombs alone had thirty-six Martial Monarchs. Even though they were dead, their wills were preserved, while their corpses were in perfect condition. They could still fight.

Besides, this was only a small part of the Wretched Disaster Forest.

"Senior, where is the piece of the Canglan Tree?"

Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts and asked.

"Qin Nan, I'll make this clear; it's quite challenging to obtain this piece of the Canglan Tree. I can't help you much, so you're on your own."

The Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d frowned and spoke as he thought of something.

"Senior, you've already helped me a lot by bringing me here."

Qin Nan said while shaking his head.

There must be a reason why the Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d did not acquire the piece of the Canglan Tree for him. Besides, he had helped him a great deal along the journey here.

Without him, he could not have even made his way to the Martial Monarch Tombs.

"You will find a boulder at the end of this path called the Age-Old Heavenly Boulder. You will be tested when you place your hand on it. If you pa.s.s the test, one of the masters from the five mountains will hand you the piece of the Canglan Tree.

"Once you receive the piece of the Canglan Tree, you're ent.i.tled to fulfill the quest given by the master."

The Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d pointed forward. His deep eyes were staring at the five magnificent mountains as if he were looking at the mysterious presence inside them.

"Oh?"

Qin Nan's eyes glistened.

It was somehow different from what he had expected. He never thought he would need to pa.s.s a test.

"It's fine, I'll take it."

Qin Nan shook his head to clear his thoughts. He sprang forward with a kick.

Despite the fact that his heart was full of doubts, either way, his current priority was to acquire the piece of the Canglan Tree.

After flying for a few breaths, Qin Nan came to a stop.

As he had been told, at the end of the path stood a ten zhang tall boulder. It was filled with ancient markings, which seemed to be left by the attacks of countless powerful artifacts.

Qin Nan took a deep breath to calm his thoughts before he walked up to it and placed his hand on it.

As the trial began, along the path behind him...

"HAHA, have a guess, how far can this kid go? I think he's going to achieve the Dharma Rare Phenomenon!"

A burst of laughter could be heard coming from the tomb of the h.e.l.lfire Martial Monarch.

"Dharma Rare Phenomenon, isn't that unlikely? Even Zhuang Cidao and Su Qingning, who surpa.s.sed the rules of cultivation, and the few successors of the Wretched Disaster Forest only managed to trigger the Thousand Buzzes."

A slightly doubtful voice could be heard coming from the Soul-Tribute Martial Monarch's tomb.

"Soul-Tribute, I think you've forgotten something. Didn't Senior Sun and Moon Sword G.o.d mention that this kid has two Martial Trees and has managed to refine the Dao Patterns for them too, not to mention his outstanding Martial Skill Talent? I bet his result will be better than Zhuang Cidao, Su Qingning, and the other successors."

A voice spoke up from the Forbidden Magic Martial Monarch's tomb.

"I bet it's going to be the Dharma Rare Phenomenon."

"The kid's Martial Skill Talent and cultivation attainments entirely surpa.s.sed theirs."

"HAHA, that's right, Soul-Tribute, you've misjudged it this time."
