Peerless Battle Spirit
chapter-1328

"The Death Crystal is showing a reaction? It looks like something in that direction is attracting its attention."

Qin Nan mumbled in his heart and glanced ahead.

A while later, he discovered a well-hidden cave along the mountain wall.

The cave was around a zhang tall, with magical herbs growing nearby. Several mysterious talismans which seemed to have existed for a very long time could be seen on the walls nearby.

"Mm? The talismans look similar to the Runes of Deities from the Bahuang Deities Formation. Qin Nan, something's strange about the cave. Let's be careful..."

Sima Kong was given a scare when he raised his head.

He had read the ancient manuals left by his predecessor, which mentioned that an ancient formation like the Bahuang Deities Formation was capable of killing Martial Gods once it was activated. It was without a doubt a lot scarier than the traps in the Golden Dragon Valley.

"Mm, we'll take a look first."

Qin Nan unleashed the Destruction Will, which wrapped around Sima Kong's figure as they dashed into the cave without hesitation.

"Is that..."

As soon as they went into the cave, Qin Nan and Sima Kong were astounded by the scene before them.

Inside the cave was a spacious area.

The place was in an absolute mess. Claw marks covering a few thousand zhang—or even tens of thousands—could be seen, with countless bottomless pits scattered across the place. The soil was stained with purple and blue blood.

In addition to that, there were plenty of bones on the ground, which were all purple-golden and enormous like towering trees. Despite having existed for a very long time, their overwhelming dragon might and battle intent had yet to dissipate.

"...eleven...eighteen...twenty-three... Apart from some other corpses, at least thirty-one Dragon Monarchs of the Purple-Golden Battle Dragon Tribe, and a half-Dragon God died here."

Sima Kong swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He had learned a unique technique that allowed him to deduce the cultivation of corpses when they were still alive. If he mastered the technique further, he could even deduce how they had died in the past.

"What?"

Qin Nan was startled.

The discovery of the corpses alone served as a surprise, yet it was not enough to make him lose his mind.

Yet the finding was fairly strange. Why did all the corpses belong to the Ancient Purple-Golden Battle Dragon Tribe?

"The battle here happened a very long time ago. It should be roughly seven to eight thousand years ago. I'm curious what actually happened back then."

Sima Kong collected his thoughts with glistening eyes.

Unlike other species, the bones of the Ancient Purple-Golden Battle Dragon Tribe were extremely valuable. Although most of the dragon bones they had discovered had lost their power, they were still priceless.

Should they think of a way of collecting all of them?

"Seven to eight thousand years ago?"

Qin Nan was stunned.

Eight thousand years ago—it sounded like it had something to do with the copper mirror.

"Forget it, let's go deeper."

Qin Nan shook his head and flew forward without thinking too much about it.

Half an hour had passed since then...

During this period, they had not seen a single herb or plant along the way, nor did they see any living creature. The entire place was full of ravines, pits and the overwhelming intent that lingered in the air.

"Mm?"

The two suddenly came to a stop.

They could see a giant lake around thirty li away. The water of the lake was purple-golden in color and above it floated a five-floored ancient palace with a height of over a hundred zhang.

A copper sign hung close to the entrance of the palace, on which was written ‘The Dragon God Chamber’.

"Damn, the Dragon God Chamber? Are you telling me that we'll find a Dragon God in there?"

Sima Kong chuckled.

Everyone knew that only Martial Monarchs were allowed to enter the Abstruse God Space. Martial Gods were not permitted to enter.

It was impossible to find a Martial God at the forbidden grounds either.

"Such a strong presence of death. Qin Nan, Fatty, are you guys at some ancient battlefield?"

A surprised voice could be heard as Bai Ling'er slowly floated out from the Sumeru Ring.

Normally, she would not show herself. She would only be awakened after sensing a strong presence of death around her.

"Hey, what did you call me? Can't you use a different nickname? Don't think you can do whatever you please just because you have control over the force of death..."

Sima Kong said displeased.

"Mm? The Dragon God Chamber? Qin Nan, it seems like there's a very strong will of death inside the palace."

Bai Ling'er ignored Sima Kong's complaints. Her breathing intensified as she realized something, who stared forward with glistening eyes.

"This must be the place that the copper mirror mentioned."

Qin Nan's eyes flickered as he was about to fly forward.

However, the silent Dragon God Chamber began to tremble slightly, as streams of blinding glows of light appeared!

BANG!

At that instant, an overwhelming dragon might burst out from the palace, leaving the sky within a hundred li in complete darkness. The huge purple-golden lake began to vibrate vigorously too!

"Crap!"

Qin Nan was astounded. He could feel his hair standing on end!

Even with his cultivation, he was unconsciously shivering under the pressure!

"Such...such...such a terrifying presence...is...is there really a Dragon God here?"

Sima Kong's face turned pale, whose figure trembled in fear!

Such a terrifying presence had surely surpassed that of Martial Monarch Realm—it was the presence of the Martial God Realm!

"You mere ants dare to trespass into my territory, what are you trying to do? Speak at once, or I'll make you suffer greatly!"

An imperious voice appeared from the hall, uttering each word thunderously!

"Senior..."

Qin Nan immediately collected his thoughts and brought his fists together!

"However, before he could finish, the copper mirror in his Divine Sense emitted an ancient glow!

"Little Worm, it's been eight thousand years and you still haven't fixed your bad habit, like the donkey in lion's skin?"

An icy voice spoke following the glow!

"Cough cough, Empress, can you not call me Little Worm? It's just that I haven't seen anyone for a few hundred years. Can't I pull a joke on them just for fun..."

The previously imperious voice instantly changed, like a little child who was guilty of a mistake he had made.

The terrifying presence bursting out from the palace dissipated too, returning the entire place to normal.
