Chapter 1237 - Puppet

…Meanwhile, the place where the battle was taking place on the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain…

The explosion which had echoed between the Heavens and Earth when the Soul-Crushing Spear landed slowly returned to calmness again.

The disciples from various factions stared at the flames burning fiercely at the foothill of the mountain. Their faces were completely blank.

Did the battle come to an end?

Was Qin Nan dead?

"Huh?"

Martial Monarch Sun Yang, Martial Monarch Rongtian, Martial Monarch Mingkong, and the rest of the Martial Monarchs were astounded.

"What happened?"

Before the Thunder Roc Monarch Beast, the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch, and the Illusionist Martial Monarch could burst into laughter, their expressions became dim.

Although Princess Miao Miao, Wang Zhao, and the rest of the disciples had failed to notice it, they clearly felt a mysterious force appearing out of nowhere and swiftly encapsulating Qin Nan's figure before vanishing into thin air.

"No way, this is impossible! Eyes of Ten Thousand Beasts, open!"

The Thunder Roc Monarch Beast snapped as he unleashed the Eyes of Ten Thousand Beasts, scanning the entire mountain one layer at a time, including the peak. He did not miss a single spot, but he still could not find Qin Nan's figure!

This implied that Qin Nan had managed to dodge the Soul-Crushing Spear and had left the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain!

The Thunder Roc Monarch Beast clenched his teeth as blue veins surfaced on his forehead. His face became incredibly dark!

He could never have expected Qin Nan would be able to escape under the circumstances!

Didn’t that mean he had lost his chance of getting the Heaven-Shattering Saber and the mysterious treasure left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch?

"How could this be!"

The Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch and the Illusionist Martial Monarch came to a realization seeing the Thunder Roc Monarch Beast's reaction. Their hearts shuddered violently as they could not believe the truth!

"This Qin Nan has indeed astonished me!"

"Fighting against a second-layer Martial Monarch and managing to escape while being flanked by two Martial Monarchs! As expected of someone who has surpassed the rules of cultivation. This Qin Nan is no doubt the strongest among those below the Martial Monarch Realm—he's unbeatable in the Martial Progenitor Realm!"

Elder Sun Yang and the others could not help but exclaim as they collected their thoughts!

"He's not dead? He…escaped?"

Princess Miao Miao was stunned upon hearing this, before her lips curled up in an attractive arc.

The sorrow and anger in her heart completely dissipated.

As long as he was alive, nothing else mattered.

Otherwise, she would bury everyone here at all costs.

"Phew, lucky. That scared the sh*t out of me."

Wang Zhao exhaled deeply as a smile filled his face. It immediately stiffened when he recalled something.

"Damn it, I better run."

Wang Zhao immediately executed a secret technique and sneaked away like a phantom.

He suddenly remembered that he had just helped Qin Nan. What if the Thunder Roc Monarch Beast and the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch tried to kill him out of anger?

He did not have a shocking background like Princess Miao Miao, so he had no choice but to run.

As for the disciples nearby, the words were like a shocking thunder roaring in their minds. Their eyes were filled with astonishment!

They completely lost their minds as everything they had seen was absolutely unbelievable!

After all, their cultivations were also at the Martial Progenitor Realm!

Despite having a cultivation of the Martial Progenitor Realm, what Qin Nan had done was nothing they could possibly do!

Time gradually passed and after a few moments, a relatively aged cultivator collected his thoughts and murmured, "Such strength, how would it have turned out if Qin Nan had achieved the Martial Monarch Realm?"

His words were like a blasting fuse which instantly woke the nearby geniuses up!

"That's right! What would the outcome of the battle be?"

"If Qin Nan had achieved the Martial Monarch Realm, hehehe, I can't even imagine!"

"I do believe that if Qin Nan were a Martial Monarch, he could easily fight against a third-layer Martial Monarch!"

"You're funny, Qin Nan can already fight against a second-layer Martial Monarch now, so you still think that he could only fight against a third-layer Martial Monarch after achieving the Martial Monarch Realm?"

"He's right, he would at least be able to fight against a fourth-layer Martial Monarch!"

Several voices began to discuss!

Although most of the disciples were hostile toward Qin Nan, the strength that he had displayed in the battle had utterly impressed them!

"Hehe, how funny, the Monarch Horoscope Contest of the Middle Continent and the God Ranking have both ended. He no longer has the chance to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm. He is still an ant! I will surely kill him before the next Monarch Horoscope Contest!"

The Thunder Roc Monarch Beast laughed grimly hearing the comments. He turned around and flew to the peak of the mountain.

"Damn it, asshole…"

The Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch and the Illusionist Martial Monarch cursed in their hearts, before heading to the peak too.

Even though they really wanted to tear Qin Nan to pieces, there was nothing they could do now. They could only hunt him down later.

Now it was better to focus on competing for the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits.

The rest of the Martial Monarchs shifted their focus toward the peak too.

A series of explosions once again filled the Heavens and Earth. The terrifying auras were rather intimidating.

The crowd of disciples felt a grudge in their hearts as they fell silent.

Although they were not happy with the Thunder Roc Monarch Beast's attitude, they could not help but admit that he was stating the truth.

So what if Qin Nan's talent was unbelievable?

So what if he was able to fight against a Martial Monarch now?

In this world, no matter how extraordinary and outstanding your talents were, no matter how determined and courageous you were, without a powerful Martial Spirit, without inheriting a Monarch Horoscope, your future would still be doomed.

Although Qin Nan still had a chance in the Monarch Horoscope Contest in eighty years’ time, how could they guarantee that he would still live until then, or that some other stronger talents wouldn't appear in the next eighty years?

Even now, Qin Nan had barely escaped from the battle regardless of his extraordinary talents. Who could guarantee that he would have the same luck again next time?

Now that he had offended the Thunder Roc Monarch Beast and a few other Martial Monarchs, it was most likely that he would not be able to last another eighty years.

Martial Monarchs were still Martial Monarchs and Martial Progenitors were still Martial Progenitors.

"Sigh, forget it, let's focus on getting the fruits."

A genius sighed upon collecting his thoughts before disappearing into the woods.

The rest of the geniuses shook their heads and continued to search the place for treasure.

However, little did the Martial Monarchs and the disciples know that in a strange cave on the mountain, Skeleton Xiao Hong, the Heavenly Fortune Mouse, and the two Heavenly Fortune Hounds were sitting with their legs crossed as they directed streams of powerful Heavenly Fortune Force into the ancient tree before them.

The ancient tree slowly cracked open, revealing the figure inside.
