Peerless Battle Spirit
chapter-1320

"It's fine, don't mind it."

The World's Imperious Ruler waved his hand and said calmly.

Even though he had helped Duan Qing, he did not believe anything Duan Qing had said. Besides, he never wanted Duan Qing to repay his kindness.

Qin Nan did not speak any further. He began to form the blood pact with the World's Imperious Ruler and his crew.

The other Martial Monarchs withdrew their attention knowing that the little show was over and went on to form their respective alliances. A moment later, only two third-layer Martial Monarchs were left in disappointment, while all the others had successfully found their teams.

"The period it took an incense stick to burn has passed. Fellow cultivators, please come with me."

The purple illusionary figure performed a hand seal, which summoned countless streams of ancient dragon Qi that flew in front of the dojo and formed a thirty zhang tall door. Inside it was complete darkness.

The purple figure went through the door with a flicker.

"Let's go."

At that instant, Sheng Tianjing, Zhuang Cidao, Old Man Kongwu, the Frost Queen, and the others transformed into rays of light and entered the door, followed by Qin Nan, Sima Kong, the World's Imperious Ruler, and the rest.

"Is that..."

Everyone was astounded by the sight before them upon arriving at the place.

Below them was still a dojo, yet its surroundings were in complete darkness as if it were floating in the rift.

The scene in front of the dojo was different. There were thousands of bridges, each formed by purple-golden dragon scales, emanating strong dragon auras as they extended into the darkness with no visible end. They looked like some godly dragon paths reaching into the distance, leading toward the Nine Heavens.

Everyone was very familiar with the scales; they were the dragon scales of the Purple-Golden Battle Dragons.

"There are one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Dragon-scaled Bridges here, each will lead you to the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace.

"However, among these Dragon-scaled Bridges, some have many Dragon Inverse Scales and some have less of them. Some are protected by traps and some are safe. Some will lead you to the middle of the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace, while some will only bring you to the outer part.

"It's up to you to choose which Dragon-scaled Bridge you take. You have only one chance, once you step on the bridge, you can't turn back. Otherwise, you'll be sent out of the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace."

The purple figure explained in detail.

"Senior, what are the Dragon Inverse Scales for?"

A ninth-layer Martial Monarch among the crowd keenly noticed something and asked immediately.

"The more Dragon Inverse Scales you have, the more traps you'll be able to avoid, including protecting you from the stronger ones. They also have other uses deep inside the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace."

The purple figure said.

"Avoid the traps and protect us?"

The crowd's eyes flickered, who instantly made up their minds. It was important to get as many Dragon Inverse Scales as they could when the time came.

"You have the period it takes an incense to burn to make your decision."

The purple figure raised his hand and on his palm, an incense stick was ignited.

"Monarch Heart activated, Martial Spirit unleashed, eight trigrams of Yin and Yang, deducing all things."

Sheng Tianjing's figure emitted a brilliant glow, as an eighth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit emerged from his back. Meanwhile, he was holding a Yin and Yang Disc on his palm, which had a magical glow.

He had learned the move from Old Man Yin and Yang, which allowed him to predict fortunes and deduce his chances.

"Seven Apertures, Dao Eyes!"

"Eight Rays Mystical Symbol!"

"Cloud Mist Void Map!"

Following this, Zhuang Cidao, Old Man Kongwu, the Frost Queen, Martial Monarch Cangsong, and the rest of the authorities immediately made their moves, followed by the rest of the Martial Monarchs, who executed their eye-techniques, deduction techniques, or activated their rare artifacts.

Even though the Martial Monarchs in Canglan Continent were all fake Martial Monarchs, they each still had their own outstanding capabilities to achieve it.

"Feel free to follow us later."

The World's Imperious Ruler said to Qin Nan and Sima Kong before he sat down with his legs crossed. The other two Martial Monarchs with him performed an ancient hand seal, which emitted a magical glow as they executed a deduction art.

"Qin Nan, which one should we pick? Should we split up with the World's Imperious Ruler, so we'll get more Dragon Inverse Scales..."

Sima Kong chuckled.

"With your cultivation, even if I told you how to avoid the traps, you'd still die for sure."

Qin Nan poured a bucket of cold water over him without mercy, before glancing at the map in his Divine Sense.

A few breaths later, his eyes glistened.

"Cultivators, the eighteenth bridge has the most Dragon Inverse Scales, with the least number of traps. It also brings us straight to the middle of the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace. It's the best option. Should we head for it?"

Qin Nan glanced at the World's Imperious Ruler and his crew before making his move.

"Huh?"

The World's Imperious Ruler was startled.

He did not expect Duan Qing to actually try and guide them.

"Go if you want, don't drag us with you."

The two Martial Monarchs beside the World's Imperious Ruler opened their eyes and spoke with cold grins.

It had only been a few breaths' time. No matter how outstanding one's capabilities were, it was impossible to inspect all the Dragon-scaled Bridges within such a short period of time and know which bridge was the best option.

"You guys can go ahead, but just a piece of advice, don't just blindly follow anything that you see, as it might cost you your life."

The World's Imperious Ruler spoke some advice.

In his opinion, Qin Nan had most likely acquired something that guided him to make the decision.

As the Young Master of the Battle Tribe, he understood that some things were extremely unreliable.

"Alright, but if you're willing to trust me, number twenty-seven, sixty-three, eighty-nine, three hundred and fifty-four, nine hundred and thirty-six, and one thousand three hundred and sixty-four are worth checking out too.

"We'll be going."

Qin Nan was well aware of the three's thoughts. He brought his fists together and left with Sima Kong.

Either way, they had lent him a hand, thus it was reasonable for him to repay their kindness. In the end, it was up to them whether they trusted him or not.
