Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1524 - The Intervene of Fate

The whole place fell silent.

Qin Nan's eyes gradually dimmed and lost their vividness.

He stood still in his spot, like a lifeless statue.

His mind was completely empty. His heart was full of sorrow.

The Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the others let out a sigh upon seeing this.

The former, in particular, had witnessed Qin Nan's rise right from the start. He clearly knew the relationship between Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao.

However, he never thought it would end like this.

"Qin..."

Dragon Emperor, Tang Qingshan, Sima Kong, and the others opened their mouths. They tried to say something, yet they could not find any word.

Any comforting word was utterly meaningless to Qin Nan now.

"Qin Nan, you have only killed the wills of the South-Heaven Gate and his crew, you have yet to shatter them. Someone is still waiting for you, have you forgotten?"

Suddenly, the ancient drawing yelled.

However, Qin Nan did not react as if he could not hear a single word.

"I know you're depressed, but she's only dead. She didn't disappear completely in the cycle of reincarnation. Why are you feeling so hopeless?"

The ancient drawing said.

"Can you save her?"

Qin Nan reacted for the first time. His ashen-gray eyes flickered with hope.

"I never expect you to look at me like that one day," the ancient drawing exclaimed, before it said, "Her soul has dissipated as she lost all her life force. Even I can't save her."

Princess Miao Miao was different than Qiu Hong.

Qin Nan had occupied Qiu Hong's flesh and produced the Dao Rune, and because of it, his body had regained its life force.

Qin Nan immediately fell silent, as if nothing was longer his concern.

"I haven't finished yet, I can't save her, but there's a chance that you can reforge her soul," said the ancient drawing.

Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the others, even Empress Feiyue were startled.

Even the latter who was an imperious ruler in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm was unable to reforge a soul.

Even cultivators who were stronger than her were unable to do it too.

And now, Qin Nan who had only become the strongest Martial God can do it? 

"Stop lying to me."

Qin Nan snapped coldly.

"Hehe, I might have lied to the whole world, but I've never lied to you. You totally lost yourself there, so you might be unaware of some things."

The ancient drawing's voice echoed in Qin Nan's mind.

It unleashed a brilliant glow. The ray of light quickly entered Qin Nan's body.

He immediately saw the scenes of Princess Miao Miao being killed by the South-Heaven Gate's spear, how he had turned into a demon and killed everyone, and unleashed Hell upon the second continent.

"This..."

Qin Nan was startled. He could not believe it.

Was that really him?

Why would his body contain such an extraordinary power?

"There's no doubt about it, that power is the true power in your body, but you're unaware of it as your cultivation isn't strong enough."

The ancient drawing projected a young man. His eyes were staring at Qin Nan as he spoke, "Haven't you realized something strange until today?"

He added before Qin Nan could respond, "When you try to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm by yourself, Jiang Bilan almost died for you, and now, when you are achieving the Martial God Realm, Princess Miao Miao has sacrificed her life too."

"Do you think it is just a coincidence?"

The words served as a shocking blast of thunder. Qin Nan's heart shuddered as his eyes turned blood red.

"Are you implying...that someone is conspiring against me behind the scenes?" 

The god force in Qin Nan's body turned restless. Wisps of murderous intent spread in all directions.

"No one is conspiring against you. No one could possibly do something so bizarre," the young man unleashed an immortal glow as he spoke, "The path of cultivation is defying the Heavens to begin with."

"Apart from the Tribulation of the Heavens and Earth, there are many difficulties that would try to stop every cultivator too."

"Especially when an extraordinary cultivator is born, it seems like the hand of fate would manipulate everything, inflicting a great cost to the cultivator."

As the saying went, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Everyone would lose something as they grew stronger. Meanwhile, if other aspects of life were perfect, the person would not be able to obtain stronger power.

"What does it have anything to do with reforging the princess' soul?"

Qin Nan withdrew his murderous aura and asked coldly.

Nothing he was told really mattered to him right now.

"Of course it is important, achieving the Martial Monarch Realm, becoming a Martial God, ascending as an immortal, querying the Dao, and mastering the Dao. Once you successfully ascend as an immortal in the Nine Heavens, you will awaken the true power in your body." 

It felt like the man's eyes were burning with flames, "By then, these rules of cultivation would no longer apply to you."

"And it's very likely that you'll find a way to reforge the princess' soul."

Qin Nan was immediately intrigued by the words.

He was aware that the levels above the Martial God Realm were Human God, Earth God, Heaven God, Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Heaven Immortal.

He never heard of querying and mastering the Dao, but ascending as an immortal must be referring to achieving the Human Immortal Realm from the Heaven God Realm and becoming an immortal.

"You said likely, so that means you're not sure about it too?"

Qin Nan took a deep breath and asked.

"Of course, nothing in this world is absolute, but isn't having this possibility better than having no hope at all?"

The young man's lips curled upward, "Qin Nan, remember one thing, man can conquer nature, everything is possible."

"When you're strong enough, even the most bizarre things such as destroying the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, toppling the cycle of reincarnation, and modifying the rules of life and death are possible too."

Qin Nan immediately felt a strange feeling upon hearing the words. His eyes glittered.

Even though he was unsure what kind of power he possessed, but he had a chance of doing it once he ascended as an immortal.

It was exactly what the ancient drawing mentioned, man can conquer nature, everything is possible!

If he still could not do it after becoming an immortal, he could further query and master the Dao, or seek for even stronger power.

One day, he would reforge the princess' soul!

"Princess..."

Qin Nan looked at the lifeless body. His heart felt a great surge of pain as if he was going to suffocate.

Following it, he clenched his fists as his eyes were full of determination.
