Chapter 1015 – The Rise of Murderous Intent
The word did not mean Qin Nan was being modest, but rather it was a declaration instead.
Even though he was only ranked three hundred and first on the Monarch Ranking, he had managed to defeat everyone in the battle, including the genius of the God Ranking, Dao Qianzhong, and the others.
This was his true strength.
This was the successor of the Divine God of Battle competing against the geniuses of the world!
However, at that instant, the dojo began to tremble slightly, as cracks began to appear in the air surrounding them.
“Mm?” Qin Nan’s eyes flickered.
Was this Half-God Tomb collapsing?
“You all should leave now.” Before the crowd could react, the pitch-black man said with a calm tone, who unleashed a terrifying force with a single wave.
Following this, an ancient formation appeared above the crowd, which teleported them away under their astonished gazes.
“The people of the half-God region will be investigating this place soon, thus I have to move to another place and destroy this Half-God Tomb.” The pitch-black man explained as if he were aware of Qin Nan’s doubts, as if the effort that he had put into constructing the tomb was nothing significant.
“Take this pendant. I’ll need you to do me a favor in ten years’ time.”
The man took out an ordinary-looking blue pendant and handed it to Qin Nan.
“Sure.” Qin Nan nodded. As he reached out his hand, a furious roar could be heard, “What are you trying to do?”
He could see a pitch-black man dashing toward him furiously from the distance.
Qin Nan was startled. He never thought that there were two of them, but he soon recognized the one dashing him to be the same person he had met inside the ancient well.
“Be gone!” The pitch-black man who handed Qin Nan the pendant snapped furiously, “I once loved her so much, but she ended up betraying me, and I almost died in her hands! Why do you still love her?”
“You——” The pitch-black man who had just appeared hesitated, before snapping furiously, “Either way, you shall not harm her!”
Whoosh!
The pitch-black man who handed Qin Nan the pendant swung his arm, causing a black vortex to appear out of nowhere, devouring the approaching pitch-black man.
Qin Nan was left speechless.
What just happened there? Through his observation, it appeared that both of them were the Nightless Half-Martial God?
“Take it.” The pitch-black man placed the pendant in Qin Nan’s palm.
“Senior, was that…” Qin Nan could not help but ask after keeping the pendant.
The pitch-black man waved, causing a terrifying force to encapsulate Qin Nan’s figure. As he was about to be teleported away, the man spoke, “Don’t worry about it. It’s just the transfiguration of my loving will. Once I shatter it, I’ll be able to become a Martial God.”
Shattering his own loving will?
Before Qin Nan could speak, he was teleported out from the tomb.
…Meanwhile, deep inside the Worriless Ocean…
The elders of various factions immediately directed the Worriless Boat toward the tomb after being aware of its change. They immediately witnessed an astonishing sight as they arrived.
BANG…
They could only hear a series of explosions taking place behind the copper entrance. Despite standing a distance away, the explosions were extremely deafening.
A few cracks began to spread on the ancient door.
The door was going to break?
Did someone acquire the succession?
The elders were startled.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At that instant, several rifts appeared on the Worriless Boat, as the geniuses who had entered the tomb dropped out from them, including the genius of the God Ranking, Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, the rest of the geniuses, and the two hounds and one mouse, the skeletal Xiao Hong, and Chen Buhui.
As for Qin Nan, he was the last to appear on the boat.
“The Half-God Tomb is going to explode! Hurry!” The elder of the Sword Sect blurted out all of a sudden.
The rest of the elders immediately collected their thoughts. Before they had the chance to ask the geniuses about the outcome, they immediately used all their might to direct the Worriless Boat away, causing it to ascend like a dragon.
Its speed was ten times faster than before, which soon surfaced from the ocean a brief while later.
At that instant, a dull blast could be heard coming from below, as the elders saw a brilliant colorful glow being emitted from the ocean.
The elders uttered relieved sighs as they had been able to react in time.
“Who got the succession?”
“Li’Er, did you get it?”
“What happened in there? Where is Junior Brother, has he fallen?”
The elders gathered their focus and asked the geniuses hurriedly.
“Kid, why aren’t you fleeing for your life yet?” A voice filled with disdain echoed in Qin Nan’s mind, which turned out to be a stream of will left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch inside the box.
“Flee? Oh crap!” Qin Nan was stunned.
It was easier to rob a treasure than to protect it. Although the various factions had reached a deal that they would not interfere once the succession was acquired, it was unlikely that they would allow someone to get away with the succession of the Nightless Half-Martial God and the treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.
Most importantly, even Elder Hua Lie was his enemy too.
“Let’s go!”
Without hesitation, Qin Nan grabbed Xiao Hong, and the two hounds and one mouse under their astonished gaze and placed them inside the Sumeru Ring. He then executed the Unstoppable Step and sprang into the sky.
“Mm?”
The elders and geniuses were dumbfounded. Why did Qin Nan leave all of a sudden?
“Elder, quick, catch Qin Nan! He has the succession of the half-Martial God and a piece of treasure left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch in his hands!” Dao Qianzhong collected his thoughts and exclaimed.
“Elder, tell the sect that we must detain Qin Nan. We can’t let him return to the Dragon Emperor Clan!”
“Qin Nan has gotten the succession and the treasure left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch!”
“Elder, what are you waiting for, stop him!”
The geniuses swiftly reacted and yelled.
The genius of the God Ranking and the three Martial Monarchs’ sons suddenly recovered from the shock. Did it matter if Qin Nan had won the trial, they could still detain him and rob everything from him!
The elders and disciples were confused, and were astounded after learning the truth.
In the battle of the final round, Qin Nan was able to suppress the geniuses with his rare artifact and eye-technique, thus claiming the succession of the Nightless Half-Martial God and the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.
That was the treasure left by a half-Martial God and the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch!
Especially the latter! The treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch would surely bring unimaginable benefits to them!
“Chase him!”
The elders collected their thoughts as powerful auras burst out from their bodies. Their figures dashed into the distance as they notified their sect of the situation.
The trial, the oath that they had sworn, and everything else was no longer important! They had to capture Qin Nan at all costs!
“Wait!”
A loud roar could be heard.
