Peerless Battle Spirit
chapter-1240

As Qin Nan was making his move, at the peak of the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain...

"Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch, Thunder Roc Monarch Beast, even though this Sun Yang is human too, he has mastered powerful Wood-Elemental Monarch Arts, thus he has a higher chance of securing the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits. Why don't we team up and ambush him later?"

The other Martial Monarch of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground transmitted his voice with flickering eyes.

He still had a grudge against Sun Yang for intervening in his business a few moments ago.

"Mm, sure."

The Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch's eyes flickered coldly as he responded.

In his opinion, if it weren't for Sun Yang, Qin Nan would not have been able to escape and he would not have needed to suffer such humiliation.

"Sounds like a plan, I'm in."

The Thunder Roc Monarch Beast smirked.

He still felt unpleasant after the failure, thus he would not mind releasing his anger on Sun Yang.

"Hehe, I'm well-prepared for this. Once the forbidding aura and the crystal are broken, I can claim the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits before everyone can react. With them, not only would I be able to improve my cultivation, I can also exchange them for a great amount of contribution points. I can even ask the Alliance Leader to expel Qin Nan from the Anti-Heaven Alliance..."

The Illusionist Martial Monarch grimaced as an ancient artifact was awakened within his body.

Unlike the three Martial Monarchs, the Illusionist Martial Monarch had been fully focused on trying to get rid of Qin Nan, as he had been quite a pest to him.

However, an unexpected occurrence took place.

One of the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits hanging on the trees suddenly 'vanished'.

"Huh?"

"What's happening?"

"Why is there one less?"

The Martial Monarchs were stunned. They immediately halted their Monarch Arts and stared at the crystal with confused looks.

As the saying went, "There's no fire without smoke."

They had spent quite some time attacking the forbidding aura and the crystal, thus they clearly knew how outstanding their defenses were. None of their attacks had managed to penetrate the barrier to secure the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits.

And yet, one of the fruits had just disappeared. Clearly, something wasn't right.

"Mm?"

The disciples on the foothills and the side of the mountain glanced at the Martial Monarchs after becoming aware that they had halted their attacks.

"Everyone, it might be just a coincidence. Let's continue the attacks, otherwise..."

The Illusionist Martial Monarch blurted out after taking a quick glance.

He could not wait to retrieve the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits.

However, before he could finish the sentence...

The presence of a magical force rippled out from the crystal. Following this, three Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits suddenly 'vanished'.

"What's happening?"

"Did you sense it? It feels like some magical force is coming from the inside of the mountain!"

"My eye-technique can't even peek into it!"

The Martial Monarchs were startled.

Even the Illusionist Martial Monarch's expression stiffened.

However, the nightmare had only just begun.

Four!

Five!

Six!

Seven!

As more ripples of energy appeared, the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits continuously disappeared from the three Heavenly Arcana Immortal Trees. Within just over thirty breaths' time, only thirty-one out of the initial ninety-one fruits were left. Sixty Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits had already been taken!

The Thunder Roc Monarch Beast, the Illusionist Martial Monarch, the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch, and the others were dumbfounded!

The sight they were witnessing was too eerie and shocking!

In addition to the Martial Monarchs, even the three Heavenly Arcana Immortal Trees inside the crystal were startled, as they had no idea how the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits were being taken from them!

Buzz!

The three Heavenly Arcana Immortal Trees responded by emitting a brighter glow, which further strengthened the barrier and the mysterious crystal around them!

"We have to move fast! Otherwise, the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits will all be gone!"

The Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch snapped as he collected his thoughts. However, he soon noticed the disdainful gazes from the Martial Monarchs nearby and felt his face burning with embarrassment!

Move fast?

How could they possibly move faster?

They couldn't even break through the forbidding aura and the crystal!

"May I know which senior is targeting the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits? I'm one of the elders of the God Beast Forbidden Ground, the Thunder Roc Monarch Beast. Please show some mercy and leave some of the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits, I'll be extremely grateful!"

The Thunder Roc Monarch Beast brought his fists together and said.

"Senior, I'm an elder from the Dead Spirit Tribe..."

"Senior..."

The other Martial Monarchs brought their fists together.

Being able to retrieve the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits from inside the forbidding aura and the crystal without being detected by them was a good indication that the person had an outstanding cultivation.

As such, their first reaction was to refer to the person as a senior sincerely while bringing their fists together.

That being said, under any normal circumstances, the Martial Monarchs would be unwilling to lower their stance to such an extent. It was extremely rare for the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain to appear and the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits were incredibly precious. They did not want to leave empty-handed after all the effort they had put in to come this far.

"Seems like it's working."

The Thunder Roc Monarch Beast felt slight joy, but the smile on his face soon froze.

The strange ripple of energy appeared once again and it felt stronger than before.

Within a few breaths' time, the remaining thirty-one Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits were taken away. Not a single one was left.

The three Heavenly Arcana Immortal Trees were stunned for a moment before they became enraged and unleashed their anger into the surroundings.

As for the Martial Monarchs, they immediately held their breath after this, unable to believe what they had just seen.

"How unacceptable!"

"Not a single Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruit was left!"

"Senior, aren't you going too far?"

"That's right, senior, please just leave some of the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits for us?"

The Martial Monarchs suppressed the anger in their hearts and blurted out!

That was a total of ninety-one Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits!

Every Martial Monarch present had spoken out and pleaded, but not a single one was left?

Despite your outstanding cultivation, you shouldn't be this cruel to us still!

Meanwhile, as the words spread to the foothills and the side of the mountain, the cultivators were utterly astounded!

Not a single one was left?

Weren't you going too far?

Did this mean...

All the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits were taken?

How terrifying was the person's cultivation, to be able to completely outsmart the Martial Monarchs?
