Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1293 - The Approaching Storm

At that instant, the giant lake suddenly fell silent.

"HAHAHA."

Qin Nan withdrew his aura and walked toward the shore with a burst of laughter. His entire figure was brimming with energy and vitality.

Even though he had only used half of his full strength in the battle, it was enough to make his blood boil. After the battle, an indescribable satisfaction and joy arose in his heart. 

One could not help but wonder what the five cultivators would feel if they saw Qin Nan's reaction.

"He...he won?"

Ling Yue was stunned still.

His cultivation was only at the third-layer Martial Monarch Realm, thus the terrifying battle resulted in quite an impact to his mind.

Most importantly, he never thought that Qin Nan who was in an inferior position would win the battle.

"Here are your Abstruse God Pieces."

Qin Nan handed nine Abstruse God Pieces to Ling Yue without hesitation.

"Thank you, senior." 

Ling Yue was overjoyed as he collected his thoughts. 

The Snow Fate Lake was only one of the places marked on the map and he had already gotten nine Abstruse God Pieces. It was likely that the rest of the places also contained many Abstruse God Pieces.

He had made the right choice by buying the map.

"Senior, I shall excuse myself for now. We'll team up again if we have the chance in the future."

Ling Yue brought his fists together and spoke. He did not require Qin Nan's assistance for the remaining places.

Qin Nan chatted with Ling Yue for a while before he left.

"Not a bad day at all."

Qin Nan did not move, but he sat on the ground with his legs crossed and glanced into his Sumeru Ring.

Inside the ring were twenty-eight Abstruse God Pieces.

"Since I don't have a clear target now, I should spend an Abstruse God Piece to see how many Abstruse God Pieces the other Martial Monarchs have in the Abstruse God Space."

Qin Nan murmured, before flicking an Abstruse God Piece into the scroll given by Old Man Taia. The force encapsulating the scroll completely disappeared, allowing Qin Nan to direct his Divine Sense into it.

Meanwhile, on a cloud somewhere in the half-God region of the Canglan Continent...

If one simply glanced at it, they would not see anything, but with an outstanding eye-technique, they would see two vessels, one red and one blue, each a few thousand li long, flying in the air at an incredible pace.

The two vessels had significantly surpassed the might of an ordinary monarch weapon. They could be considered half-god weapons, which possessed incredible power.

"Damn it!"

"Asshole!"

Two furious roars exploded in a luxurious palace on the blazing red vessel all of a sudden, as monarch auras burst out from it and startled the other experts on the vessel.

"How bold of that Duan Qing, to dare to kill me."

Inside the palace, a young man with red hair and eyes like flames unleashed an icy murderous intent, which caused the temperature in the hall to rise rapidly.

"We can't let him go just like that. Go and investigate; see if you can find out his true identity. I want to know who he is."

On the other side, a purple-haired, stocky young man in a mink coat whose body was surrounded by dragon-shaped lightning flickers said with a long face. 

They were none other than the Young Masters of the Flame Tribe and the Lightning Tribe, who were ranked high on the Genius Martial Monarchs Ranking of the half-God region, the successors of the two ancient tribes.

They each had different identities, which were Fei Hong and Shi Ang respectively, whom Qin Nan had killed in the Abstruse God Space.

"Affirmative, we'll investigate into it right away."

A Martial Monarch of the Flame Tribe and a Martial Monarch from the Lightning Tribe nodded with unpleasant expressions before their figures vanished with a flicker.

Similarly, they were Fei Suo and Shi Qian whom Qin Nan had killed in the Abstruse God Space.

"Young Master, please calm down. We should recover our cultivation first. After all, we're not far away from the Anti-Heaven Alliance."

Another Martial Monarch of the Lightning Tribe said in a deep tone.

"We're not far away from the Anti-Heaven Alliance?"

The red-haired young man raised his brows slightly.

"Then we shall focus on our recovery."

The young man from the Lightning Tribe nodded.

...Meanwhile, the Abstruse God Space, Snow Fate Lake...

The Taia Ranking popped up when Qin Nan inserted his Divine Sense into the scroll.  

"Cultivator Wuji, seven hundred and thirty-two Abstruse God Pieces."

"Cultivator Xiao Hun, seven hundred and twenty-one Abstruse God Pieces."

"Cultivator Long Ling, six hundred..."

Even Qin Nan could not help but smack his lips when he saw the numbers. He did not expect the people ranked high on the Taia Ranking would have acquired that many Abstruse God Pieces.

How long would it take for him to collect so many pieces?

"Mm?"

Qin Nan suddenly shuddered.

The reason being that he had discovered the person ranked four hundred and fifty on the Taia Ranking, who currently had seventy Abstruse God Pieces called the 'God of Thieves'. 

"God of Thieves? Could he be Sima Kong? Wait, Sima Kong hasn't achieved the Martial Monarch Realm yet, so he can't enter the Abstruse God Space. Is there someone else in the half-God region who specializes in stealing?" 

Qin Nan's mind was filled with doubts.

However, he did not overthink it.

Sima Kong could not enter the Abstruse God Space and it was not strange that someone else in the half-God region specialized in stealing.

"Forget it, I shall return to Taia City to see if I can get myself a map. 

Qin Nan shook his head. He put the scroll away and prepared for his return.

However, an unexpected occurrence took place.

Dong.

A soft noise appeared in his mind, like the chime of an ancient bell.

"Mm? What's going on?"

Qin Nan was startled.

The voice did not come from the Abstruse God Space, but from his flesh instead.

His flesh was currently in the hall, thus if something were to happen, it would reflect it to his will of cultivation, thus allowing him to decide if he would like to return to his flesh. 

"Let's head back for now."

Qin Nan did not hesitate. He activated the ancient key, which summoned a magical glow encapsulating his figure and teleported him away.

It did not take him much time to return to his flesh.

In less than two breaths' time, Qin Nan who was sitting in the hall slowly opened his eyes.

"What happened?"

Qin Nan did not sense anything strange in the hall. He frowned slightly and was about to activate his left eye when an unexpected change took place!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

A thunderous chime could be heard in the distance, which echoed through the entire space in the Seven Luminaries!

The chime was from the Sky Drum!
