Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1010 - The Battle in Eternal Darkness

The entire dojo fell into a dead silence.

Even though everyone was a talented genius with a firm heart, they were shocked by the sight before them.

They had witnessed Qin Nan being knocked off the boat.

The genius of the God Ranking’s attack was strong enough to kill an ordinary ninth-layer Martial Progenitor. How did Qin Nan survive it with a mere cultivation of the fifth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm?

Besides, it seemed like Qin Nan was perfectly fine!

“Hua Dichen, and the genius of the God Ranking, and everyone else, are you disappointed that I’m not dead?” Qin Nan’s lips curled upward as he broke the silence.

“This…I…”

Hua Dichen subconsciously tried to say something.

“Haha.” The genius of the God Ranking suddenly burst out laughing. His gaze toward Qin Nan was no longer filled with disdain, but his tone remained proud, “Not bad, being able to survive the attack executed with a tenth of my strength. You’re not bad at all.”

But that was all he had.

There was no way Qin Nan would survive if he attacked with his full strength.

Dao Qianzhong, the Martial Monarchs’ sons, and the rest glanced at Qin Nan with a hint of doubt. The fact that Qin Nan was able to pass the second trial and survive the attack of the genius of the God Ranking was enough to let them treat him seriously.

Hua Dichen’s face became dark as he recovered from the shock. Countless thoughts crossed his mind.

He did not expect it to turn out like this, but no matter what happened in the end, he had to get rid of this Qin Nan here at the Half-God Tomb.

The crowd suddenly turned their head after being aware of something.

They could see a pitch-black man walking toward them from the distance. Each step he took caused the place to dim further. As he arrived before the crowd, the dojo was in total darkness.

If it weren’t because of their cultivations, none of them would be able to see anything.

“Greetings, senior!”

The crowd reacted and brought their fists together. Even the genius of the God Ranking withdrew the pride on his face.

Although they had no idea if the half-Martial God was alive or not, they would not dare to offend him even if it were only a stream of his will.

Qin Nan raised his eyebrow. The icy aura he sensed from the pitch-black man was different to his aura from before.

Could this be a clone of his will?

As Qin Nan pondered, the man spoke with a cold voice, “The fact that twelve of you managed to come this far means you are truly geniuses. Let’s make this quick, shall we? The one who wins in the next trial will be my—Nightless’s—successor!”

“Nightless? The half-Martial God?”

“Does that mean he’s Nightless, the half-Martial God from a few hundred years ago?”

“It’s him!”

The genius of the God Ranking, Dao Qianzhong, Huo Wulong, and the others were startled.

Obviously, they had all heard of Nightless’s name. He was the authority who had stirred great chaos going against the South-Heaven Sacred Ground in the half-God region a few hundred years ago.

“Senior, do we only need to pass the trial to be your successor?” Hua Dichen asked.

The crowd was intrigued. The succession of a half-Martial God was enough to drive countless geniuses crazy, but they understood that everything came with a price.

“Of course not, you will have to do me a favor after receiving my succession. I’ll not mention it now. If any of you think you can’t do it, you may leave now.” The man said with an expressionless face.

The crowd hesitated for a while but remained in place.

“Very well!” The man quickly scanned the crowd and said, “Before we start, I’ll show you what I’ve included in my succession.”

Following this, he waved his hand, causing seven ancient boxes to float in the air.

The geniuses immediately held their breath as their eyes were fixed on them.

“Is that…”

Qin Nan wore a blank expression.

The Beast-Hitting Stick in his storage bag began to tremble slightly. He could also sense a familiar aura from the seventh box.

The aura of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch!

Could that be the third piece of treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch?

The man pointed at the first box and said, “This is the Nightless Crystal, which contains my Nightless Art. Anyone can learn it by refining the crystal. The second box contains the Heavenly Spiritual Wood. The third box is half a stalk of the Eternal Darkness Flower. These two would allow you to master the Nightless Art…”

The man introduced the items in sequence.

The genius of the God Ranking, Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, Huo Wulong, and the others were startled, as a brilliant flicker could be seen from their eyes.

Each of the boxes contained extremely valuable treasures!

Even though they were not capable of altering their destinies, they were insanely beneficial toward their cultivation!

“This seventh box is the most precious among them all, surpassing the value of the previous six added together.” The man surprisingly paused his speech.

The geniuses were intrigued too.

The most precious among them all?

What exactly would it be to surpass the value of the previous six items?

Could it be a chance to grant them a seventh-grade Tian ranked or above Martial Spirit?

Qin Nan stared at the seventh box and the man as he collected his thoughts.

“The seventh item is actually not related to me. It’s a coincidence that I was able to find it. According to my speculation, it was left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch, and I’ve no idea what’s inside.” The man calmly said, “But the fact that it’s related to the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch is shocking enough, right?”

“What?”

“A box left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch?”

“Is it some treasure related to the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch?”

At that instant, the genius of the God Ranking, Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, Huo Wulong, and the others were dumbfounded.

The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch, the legend that had shocked the entire Canglan Continent a thousand years ago!

Even though his cultivation was lower than the half-Martial God Nightless, his strength and his talent in refining artifacts completely outmatched the half-Martial God!

Especially the Heaven-Shattering Saber that he had crafted, which countless Martial Monarch Realm experts or even half-Martial Gods were after.

However, despite all their efforts, no one was able to find the treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.

And now, it was right in front of them?

“As I thought!”

Qin Nan took a deep breath as his right arm began to tremble slightly.

He had found the third piece of treasure. He had to retrieve it at all cost, even if it meant exposing his strength!

Once he gathered all three pieces, he would acquire the greatest treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch!

The man ignored the crowd’s astonishment as he continued, “The last trial begins now, the battle in eternal darkness!”
