Chapter 993 - Two Great Martial Spirits
The pagoda was only half a palm tall, but it was split into six layers, refined with some ancient bronze with corrosion on its surface and a faint aura. It appeared to be a magical artifact, but had lost its power over time.
Qin Nan did not find anything special about the pagoda after inspecting it with his left eye of the Divine God of Battle. However, he could somehow sense a unique aura from it.
It was like seeing a familiar stranger—an extraordinary feeling.
"Screw it, I should buy it first."
Qin Nan made up his mind and immediately negotiated with the vendor. He ended up buying the pagoda with three streams of Vital Qi.
After buying the pagoda, he immediately left.
He teleported to a town using the portal, before his figure disappeared into the distance like a beam of light. After flying a few thousand li, he found himself in a desert, without any sign of beasts around him.
"Let's see what it actually is."
Qin Nan took out the pagoda and discovered a fragmented formation at its bottom. He gathered his Qi and as he prepared to insert it into the pagoda, his hand stopped in the air.
For some reason, his instincts were telling him that something bad would happen once he activated the pagoda.
"It's rare having such a premonition, but I insist on seeing what's inside of the pagoda today!"
Qin Nan's gaze sharpened as he inserted his Qi into the pagoda.
BANG!
The pagoda broke into pieces as a beam of light was fired into the sky, which transformed into an illusionary human figure with an imperious aura. The blowing sand was blocked as if a barrier had been established in the air.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan's left eye emitted a purple glow.
Inside the pagoda was a stream of will?
The terrifying aura of the figure alone was enough to describe how overwhelming the cultivator was!
"I've been waiting for thirty days for someone to open this pagoda! I can't wait to see if that old man was lying to me!" The figure scanned his surroundings with his hands behind himself like a deity. He lowered his head glancing at Qin Nan and raised his tone, "You must be a genius of the Middle Continent, what's your name?"
A great buzz could be heard from the Heavens.
A terrifying suppression struck Qin Nan's soul, as if a Martial God was standing right before him!
"Why do you care what my name is?" Qin Nan wore a calm expression, "But I'm really curious, how is your will summoning me?"
"Summoning you? It seems like you're the one I've been looking for! Show me, how did you surpass the rules of cultivation!" The figure said. As soon as he finished his sentence, he reached out his hand and slapped in Qin Nan's direction.
The scenery immediately changed as a sandstorm appeared, which turned into a hundred zhang long giant palm that slammed downward with great might!
"Surpassed the rules of cultivation?"
Qin Nan was startled. How did he know that he had surpassed the rules of cultivation?
In the midst of his doubts, Qin Nan instantly moved, maximizing his battle intent as he observed the surroundings with his left eye. After realizing that there was no escape, his figure shrank as he raised his right hand.
BANG!
The ground collapsed as the sand was blown away. Following an explosion, Qin Nan's figure disappeared.
"Mm? Dead?" The illusionary human figure was astounded. Although his attack was enough to kill a seventh-layer Martial Progenitor, if the person had been whom he was looking for, he would not die so easily.
Whoosh!
Qin Nan swiftly appeared as a brilliant saber glow slashed at the illusionary human figure.
"Interesting."
The lips of the illusionary human figure curled upward as he performed a magical hand seal, resisting the saber intent of the Heaven-Shattering Saber.
"How powerful!"
Qin Nan's figure tensed.
The Monarch Art the illusionary figure executed was extremely powerful even though he was only a stream of will. Had he been a Martial Monarch Realm expert when he was alive?
"Show me how you've surpassed the rules of cultivation at once. Otherwise, you will die!" The illusionary figure said with a thunderous voice as he slowly stepped forward like a peerless demon.
A Martial Spirit emerged behind him.
Although Qin Nan was unable to observe its rank, its aura alone was exceedingly terrifying.
"I don't know what you're saying."
Qin Nan's eyes flickered coldly as he took out the talisman that the Extraordinary Saber Monarch had given him without hesitation.
It was obvious that the illusionary figure was there for him specifically, and had even mentioned the rules of cultivation straight away. As such, Qin Nan was not willing to expose too much of his secrets.
The talisman was precious, but his first priority was to deal with the matter on hand!
Before Qin Nan could react, a second Martial Spirit appeared behind the illusionary figure.
"This——" Qin Nan was stunned, his eyes widening.
Two Martial Spirits?
The person before him had two Martial Spirits?
Everyone could only have one Martial Spirit, and the same went for Martial God Realm experts. Never had a person possessed two Martial Spirits at the same time!
In other words…
The illusionary figure had surpassed the rules of cultivation!
"HAHAHA!" The figure burst out laughing after seeing the astonishment in Qin Nan's eyes. The two Martial Spirits unleashed their power, which formed the illusionary figure of the sun and moon aiming at Qin Nan's figure.
Even a ninth-layer Martial Progenitor would die to the attack.
"Break!"
Qin Nan swiftly reacted and squashed the talisman in his hand.
Whoosh!
The sky suddenly darkened as the illusionary figure of the Extraordinary Saber Monarch appeared in front of Qin Nan with a cold expression. He slashed forward with the ancient saber in his hand, firing a terrifying saber glow that shattered the sun and moon.
"Mm? I've been careless, I did not expect he would have something like that." The illusionary figure halted his movement and said in a calm tone, "Old man, it's your turn. I'm sure this kid is the one I'm looking for."
He seemed to be talking to himself.
BANG!
The sky suddenly collapsed as a thirty zhang wide vortex appeared, from which a giant hand black and white in color reached out, grabbing at the figure of the Saber Monarch.
At that instant, it felt like everything had frozen, unable to escape from the hand.
Qin Nan was astounded. The power of the hand was on par with the strength of a Martial Monarch!
The Saber Monarch's figure stiffened too, as his eyes were filled with astonishment. It seemed like he could recognize the hand.
"How bold! You dare target the person under my protection!"
However, at that moment, a terrifying aura burst out from the rift.
The Martial Serendipity Pavilion had arrived!
