Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1051 – The Yellow-Clothed Ancient Corpse

Chapter 1051 – The Yellow-Clothed Ancient Corpse

The Desolated Battle Ground had been formed during the ancient era. Even though many experts were interested in the mysteries it held, most of them had given up due to various reasons.

Qin Nan never thought that the Desolated Battle Ground would have its own spirit.

However, on second thought, the Desolated Battle Ground did have a strong battle intent, which was capable of triggering the mutation of the corpses, treasure, and artifacts left by the experts who had fallen, thus it made sense that there was a stronger force existing behind the scenes.

“I have to remind you; it will be extremely dangerous if you’re planning to meet him, worse than meeting a Martial Monarch, and you will not get any benefits from seeing him.” The colorful figure said. It was now able to speak fluently.

“Dangerous? It’s fine.” Qin Nan’s eyes flickered.

Fortune favored the bold. Maybe he would find something unexpected from meeting the Desolated Battle Spirit.

“Alright, wait here.” The colorful figure shrugged as a black dot surfaced on the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder and expanded rapidly.

“I have a question; since you now have your own conscious, does that mean you’re reincarnated?” A thought suddenly crossed Qin Nan’s mind.

Princess Miao Miao had mentioned that the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder was a product of an expert failing his reincarnation after collecting countless corpses, artifacts, etc. In other words, the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder was the expert himself.

“Reincarnation?” The colorful figure seemed lost for a moment, before its tone became firm, “I am who I am, not anyone else.”

Qin Nan nodded and decided not to ask any further since it was not willing to share.

Even though he was interested in reincarnation, he would have to wait for a better time to understand more about it.

The period it took an incense to burn had passed. The black dot had transformed into a one zhang tall pitch-black door that led to a mysterious place.

“Remember, you only have the period of five incense sticks.” The colorful figure warned.

“Thanks!”

Qin Nan brought his fists together and stepped through the door.

Whoosh!

As Qin Nan landed on the ground, he immediately raised his head and scanned the surroundings, leaving him in awe.

He initially thought that it was an independent, small confined space, but the surroundings suggested it was a hundred zhang long palace.

The palace was completely sealed off, with no sign of the second floor. Even with his left eye and Divine Sense, he was not able to observe the scenery outside the palace.

Qin Nan shook his head and shifted his focus onto the palace. It was extremely spacious, with not many decorations. There was only a three zhang long and two zhang wide bronze coffin floating in the center. The lid was not made of bronze, but some mysterious crystal.

Behind the bronze coffin stood a five zhang tall boulder that was entirely pitch-black. Its surface had no patterns or markings. However, as Qin Nan took a closer look, he noticed there were words written on it.

“The words are quite strange, I can’t see them if I’m too far away.”

Qin Nan murmured. His figure tensed as he slowly approached the boulder.

When he was around twenty zhang away from the bronze coffin, he was finally able to read the words, which completely astonished him.

Left by the core disciple of the Immortal Misty Sect, Shi Qingfan.

“Shi Qingfan? He was here before?”

Qin Nan was utterly confused.

Even if Shi Qingfan had come to this place, why would he write the words down for no reason?

“Strange…”

Qin Nan shook his head to prevent himself from overthinking it. With a kick, he floated in the air and gazed down at the coffin.

Inside the coffin lay a corpse covered with a yellow cloth, only revealing its pair of empty-looking eyes without any sign of life. Beside it were placed artifacts, talismans, and pills of various shapes and sizes.

For some reason, Qin Nan could feel his scalp going numb, as a chill was sent down his spine.

He had a feeling that the corpse would suddenly sit up straight, and its eyes would emit a shocking glow.

“If I’m not mistaken, this must be the Desolated Battle Spirit.” Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts and mumbled to himself, “It must still be alive, and is currently in a deep sleep for some reason.”

Having this thought, Qin Nan hesitated for a moment before he slowly reached out his left hand toward the coffin’s lid.

At that instant, it felt like the entire hall had frozen. Only Qin Nan’s strong heartbeat could be heard.

When his left hand was around eight inches away from the coffin, his expression changed slightly, as he could feel his left hand touching an invisible barrier, unable to move forward any further.

While he was considering if he should attack with the Heaven-Shattering Saber, a loud explosion took place as the lid of the coffin spat out a pitch-black flame that burned Qin Nan’s left hand.

“Such a terrifying flame!”

Qin Nan’s heart shuddered as he immediately backed off.

The flame was even more terrifying than the legendary Heaven Flames.

Luckily, his left arm of the Divine God of Battle was extraordinary as well, thus the flame did not inflict any damage to it.

“I’m running out of time. The Desolated Battle Spirit is in a deep sleep, and the coffin is protected by a terrifying force. I might not be afraid of the flame, but there’s no way I’m able to wake the Desolated Battle Spirit due to its presence. What should I do? Do I really have to leave empty-handed?”

Qin Nan’s eyes squinted.

He had found somewhere that many experts had failed to discover, thus he was not willing to leave without getting something from it.

A crazy thought suddenly crossed his mind as he recalled something.

He could try using the Treasure-Fishing Rod!

He could retrieve the treasure inside the coffin!

Since the Desolated Battle Spirit had placed the treasure beside it, they must be quite extraordinary!

“Screw it, I’m doing it!”

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with excitement as he took out the Treasure-Fishing Rod and inserted his progenitor force into it, before swinging it in the direction of the coffin.

If the spirit of the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder were there, it would surely be terrified seeing Qin Nan’s action.

Those things were the Desolated Battle Spirit’s treasure!

Even a Martial Monarch Realm expert would not dare to touch them!

How daring was Qin Nan!

Buzz!

The coffin seemed to be aware of something, which emitted a force that encapsulated itself, causing the pitch-black flame to burn around it.

The entire palace began to tremble slightly.

Luckily, the Treasure-Fishing Rod did not let Qin Nan down. Its force managed to bypass the barrier, the flame, and the force surrounding the coffin.

“Maybe…I should hook the Desolated Battle Spirit away instead?”

An even crazier thought popped up in Qin Nan’s mind.
