Chapter 876: 876
Chapter 876 - The Ancient Demon Abyss
“This doesn’t make sense, the remaining body parts of the Divine God of Battle should be inside the South-Heaven Gate, but why is my right arm showing a reaction to it? Could it be…”
Qin Nan’s heart skipped a beat .
He recalled that previously at the Dragon Emperor Clan, the Six-Spirited Dragon Vein had mentioned that although the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch had used all he had to refine the Heaven-Shattering Saber, he did leave pieces of treasure somewhere in the Canglan Continent .
Now that his right arm was showing a reaction, the only explanation was the mysterious treasure here was left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch . This also explained why the two geniuses of the half-God region would come all the way here to the Skycloud Mountain Range .
After all, a treasure left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch was appealing to them too .
“Could it be that crystal case?”
Qin Nan followed the fiery gaze of the two geniuses and saw a half zhang wide and one zhang long crystal case . Its surface was engraved with a unique pattern, resembling a man spreading his arms toward the Heavens .
Meanwhile . . .
ROAR!
The masked man uttered a roar, whose mouth emitted a crimson glow and absorbed the treasure into his body before the two geniuses and the Dark Tribute Progenitor could react .
“How bold!”
One of the geniuses had green veins surfacing on his forehead as he instantly executed a forbidden technique . He drew out an extraordinary sword, which unleashed a terrifying saber intent from its tip into the sky .
“HAHAHA, so what if you three are siding together, you will never get your hands on the treasure, even if I have to bring them along to my death…” The masked man burst out laughing as his figure shuddered and expanded all of a sudden, flying into the distance at a rapid pace .
“Trying to flee? Not on my watch!”
The two geniuses and the Dark Tribute Progenitor grunted and disappeared into the horizon .
“I have to follow them!”
Upon seeing this, Qin Nan swiftly rose from the ground and followed after them . However, even at his full speed, he still failed to catch up to their pace, thus he could only proceed in the same direction .
His cultivation was too weak, too insignificant in relation to theirs .
“Who would have thought that I would find the treasure left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch here! Should I consider myself lucky or unlucky? At this rate, the masked man will surely be killed…” Qin Nan moved forward while pondered deeply .
His instincts were telling him that he could attract the mysterious crystal case by exposing his Heaven-Shattering Saber .
However, even if he managed to acquire the mysterious crystal case, the two geniuses of the half-God region and the Dark Tribute Progenitor could easily finish him off .
His only hope was asking for help from the copper mirror .
However, since the copper mirror rarely showed herself, Qin Nan decided not to bet his life on it . He could only rely on himself .
“I’ll act according to the situation!”
Qin Nan took a deep breath . There was no point overthinking it .
His first priority now was to locate their whereabouts . If they had left the Skycloud Mountain Range, there was nothing he could do .
Following this, Qin Nan flew forward at full speed .
One incense, two incense . . . After the period it took four incense sticks to burn, he came to a stop .
“Luckily, they are not too far ahead . ”
Qin Nan raised his head and observed the glows of impacts a distance away from him . He took a few breaths to adjust his thoughts, before proceeding forward cautiously while concealing his aura .
“Mm? What’s going on?”
After taking a few hundred steps, Qin Nan’s eyes were filled with astonishment .
Through his observation, the surrounding trees were different than the ones he had seen before . They were entirely pitch-black, while their leaves were as sharp as razors, leaving cuts on the ground as they landed .
Furthermore, the Hundred Barrier Mist was even more terrifying . It was now half-grey and half-black, blending and separating at times, which limited Qin Nan’s vision to only a fifth of its range .
“Is there something ahead?”
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered .
This was the Skycloud Mountain Range, a place where even Martial Monarchs would not dare to roam freely . It went without saying that there existed other mysterious places apart from the ancient ruins .
“A demonic aura…”
Qin Nan straightened his face after taking a few steps forward .
He could sense a demonic aura coming from deep within the woods, the same direction where the two geniuses and the Dark Tribute Progenitor were battling against the masked man . The aura caused the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly, such that even Qin Nan could feel the chill .
This showed how powerful the demonic aura was, let alone its presence in the area further ahead .
“Protection of the golden seal!”
As a safety measure, Qin Nan quietly unleashed the power of the golden seal . The demonic aura immediately stayed away from Qin Nan as if it had encountered some frightening presence .
Meanwhile, glows were emitted continuously in the distance, accompanied by a series of shocking explosions .
It was highly possible that the impact of the battle had drawn the beasts away from the woods, as Qin Nan had yet to encounter one along the journey .
After the period it took an incense stick to burn, Qin Nan halted his movements .
Through his left eye of the Divine God of Battle, he observed the two geniuses of the half-God region and the Dark Tribute Progenitor launching their attacks at the masked man . Even with the interference of the demonic aura, their powerful attacks were able to shatter the aura entirely .
The battle was taking place on the peak of a mountain, and behind it was an endless cliff .
“The masked man won’t be able to hold on any longer! Besides, it appears that he’s not a living Martial Monarch, there’s something strange about his flesh…” Qin Nan’s heart shuddered as he observed the battle .
If the masked man was defeated, the crystal case would end up in the hands of the two geniuses .
Even if he had the Heaven-Shattering Saber, he would not dare to summon the crystal case toward him .
Did that mean there was nothing he could do about it?
“Oh right, where did the demonic aura come from?”
A sudden thought crossed Qin Nan’s mind .
The demonic aura must be something extraordinary since it was able to cover such a great distance . On second thought, there must be a reason why the masked man had purposely lured his enemies here .
“Is that——”
Qin Nan looked for the direction of the demonic aura . Due to the battle, the aura was shattered by the impact, thus it took Qin Nan some time to find its source .
However, when he found the source, his eyes were filled with amazement .
The golden seal in his body began to buzz and emit a golden glow that covered his whole body to protect its bearer!
