Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1041 – The Lunar-Glow Cave

The three people had wearing blank faces, as they did not expect to stumble into the famous Qin Nan here.

Qin Nan squinted as his figure tensed. His battle intent skyrocketed unconsciously.

“HAHA, Cultivator Qin Nan, I’ve heard of your name a long time ago. It’s fateful that we’re able to meet today. Do come with me, as I’ve something to discuss with you!”

The Old Illusionist burst out laughing as he collected his thoughts. His eyes flickered sinisterly as he waved the horsetail whisk in his hand.

A formidable illusionary mountain was summoned, which began to descend upon Qin Nan’s figure.

Although at the Immortal Misty Sect, Shi Qingfan had warned him not to offend Qin Nan, the Old Illusionist did not treat his advice seriously. All he was concerned about was obtaining the treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.

It would help greatly on his journey to achieving the Martial Monarch Realm.

How could he not target Qin Nan?

“Desolated Battle Ancient Woods, hear my command!”

Qin Nan was already prepared for it. He let out a hollow laugh and with a thought, the battle intent within a li around him became unstable, as the Desolated Battle Ancient Trees extended their branches and leaves as if they were being summoned.

More than hundreds of trees unleashed their power as they intertwined and formed a giant wall.

BANG!

Following a shocking explosion, the illusionary mountain was hindered.

Normally, even with nine Martial Trees and unleashing all of his strength, Qin Nan would have a hard time facing a half-Martial Monarch Realm expert. However, due to the battle intent, his strength had increased significantly to a terrifying level.

“Mm? How is your strength increasing instead of being affected by the battle intent?”

The Old Illusionist was startled.

Qin Hou and Nangong Wei were also astounded seeing the scene before them.

Even with their cultivations, they had to put in a great effort just to hold off the battle intent in the Desolated Battle Ancient Woods!

How had this Qin Nan done it?

“Old Illusionist, let’s work together to acquire the Heaven-Shattering treasure!” Qin Hou and Nangong Wei made up their minds and transmitted their voice to the Old Illusionist.

“Sure!”

The eyes of the Old Illusionist glistened slightly as he nodded in agreement.

Qin Nan’s strength had entirely exceeded his expectations, not to mention that his companion was a peak Martial Progenitor Realm cultivator as well. If they were both unaffected by the battle intent, there was no way he could deal with both of them on his own.

Working together was the only way!

“Qin Nan, considering we have the same surname, just be obedient and we might spare your life!” Qin Hou snapped as a Martial Tree with a glow similar to a galaxy emerged behind him, summoning countless stars that filled the sky above Qin Nan.

He had a rare phenomenon Martial Tree!

Nangong Wei shrugged before he drew out a long sword from the rift, which was emitting an icy glow. He slashed forward following the stroke of the character ‘八’ (eight).

The Old Illusionist laughed as his hand fired an illusionary glow.

In their opinion, the combined attack of a half-Martial Monarch Realm expert and two peak Martial Progenitor Realm geniuses were more than enough to defeat Qin Nan and the beautiful woman.

“Is that so?”

Facing the attacks, Qin Nan’s hair danced wildly as he sprang into the sky instead of backing off, unleashing the Destruction Domain.

“Battle intent, boost my strength, the Destruction Domain that brings utter destruction to all things!”

Several streams of battle intent were absorbed toward Qin Nan’s figure.

The illusionary plate on Qin Nan’s body emitted a blinding glow as if it were solidifying.

The entire Destruction Domain expanded rapidly, which looked like a giant black hole from a distance away!

The Old Illusionist, Qin Hou, and Nangong Wei were dumbfounded. The execution of their attacks was halted instantly.

BANG BANG BANG…

The entire place began to tremble vigorously.

The giant Destruction Domain was like an unpassable barrier, blocking in front of the trio. All of their attacks were nullified as they came into contact with it.

“Humph, trying to bully us just because you have more people? I’m the Princess of herbs, all herbs of the world, I command you to come here at once, to form the Heavens of Herbs!”

Princess Miao Miao stepped forward slowly with an icy expression while performing a hand seal. She was like the Goddess of the Nine Heavens, who possessed an extraordinary aura.

Following this, countless light beams sprang into the sky around them, which turned out to be herbs in the form of rare phenomena flying toward them.

In the blink of an eye, over a thousand stalks of herbs had gathered together, each emitting a unique glow, which combined into a great mystical kingdom.

“What kind of sorcery is this?”

The Old Illusionist, Qin Hou, and Nangong Wei were utterly astonished.

They had never heard or witnessed such a method of summoning the herbs from the surroundings.

“Use everything you’ve got, they are far stronger than what we’ve imagined!” The Old Illusionist groaned as his white hair begun to stand on end.

It was the sign when he had begun to execute the Path of Illusion!

“Mm!”

Qin Hou and Nangong Wei nodded simultaneously as a terrifying aura was unleashed from their bodies.

As the thirty-first and thirty-ninth ranked geniuses on the Monarch Ranking, they were extremely experienced in battles, and their Martial Hearts were relatively firm as well. Since they had stumbled into Qin Nan today, they had to defeat him at all costs!

However, at that instant…

ROAR!

A furious roar could be heard coming from deep inside the Desolated Battle Ancient Woods, as a strong gust of wind swept the entire woods, causing the trees to sway wildly.

Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao were taken by surprise.

The expressions on the faces of the Old Illusionist, Qin Hou, and Nangong Wei stiffened too.

They could sense that something terrifying had awakened inside the woods.

“You’ve probably woke the thing up when you were using the battle intent just then. Let’s not care about these three, we should head there straight away.” Princess Miao Miao grabbed Qin Nan’s arm and flew into the woods.

There was no point of continuing the battle.

It was more important to secure the treasure and fortunate encounters!

“Trying to run away?”

The Old Illusionist, Qin Hou, and Nangong Wei straightened their faces.

“Suppress!”

Princess Miao Miao uttered a word without turning around.

The countless herbs suddenly rose into the sky and exploded, which transformed into giant mountains that crushed onto their targets like raindrops.

“Crap!”

The trio wore troubled expressions. However, since the herbs possessed some degree of intelligence, they were unable to dodge the attacks, thus they had no choice but to destroy them all, which would keep them occupied for a while.

…Meanwhile, in the woods…

The previous battle had caused Qin Nan’s blood to boil rapidly, but beyond his expectations, the battle had come to an end all of a sudden. He withdrew his thoughts and glanced ahead with his left eye.

To his surprise, he could only see a grey mist, preventing him from peeking through.

“Princess, what exactly is this place?” Qin Nan could not help but ask.

“Mm, I only learned about this place from an ancient record.” Princess Miao Miao explained, “After the woods, it is said to be a place where a great expert died. The expert was not willing to die, thus he used the battle intent of the Desolated Battle Ground as a protection while he collected countless corpses, artifacts, herbs, etc. to be reincarnated, which failed in the end.”

“Reincarnation?” Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with astonishment.

Not many people in the Canglan Continent were able to carry out such a shocking move.

Shi Qingfan was the reincarnation of a Martial Monarch only because he had been lucky in his past life.

“Yep, the expert died after failing his reincarnation. However, his will had combined with the battle intent of the Desolated Battle Ground, and everything that he had collected before experienced a magical change, forming the Lunar-Glow Cave. That being said, we have to go and take a look before we are sure that it’s actually the truth…”

Princess Miao Miao gazed ahead with a grin as she if had something on her mind.

Qin Nan nodded. Despite being curious, he decided not to ask. He continued to observe the surroundings, unaware of the Princess’ reaction.

“We’re here!”
