Peerless Battle Spirit Chapter 1287 - Ancient City Taia

"Cultivation will, merge with the key."

As Qin Nan uttered a grunt and the monarch heart in his body beat intensely. The terrifying Divine Battle Destruction Monarch Will awakened simultaneously. It spread in all directions, shaking the palace vigorously, like an ancient beast crawling on the trembling ground.

Qin Nan's eyes flickered. He swiftly raised his palm and accumulated all his cultivation will, before flicking it into the ancient key.

Buzz.

The previously silent and still ancient key suddenly unleashed a chaotic aura. Its tip began to emit a mysterious glow, like the giant hand of an ancient deity was reaching out from it and shrouding Qin Nan's figure.

Suddenly, Qin Nan's mind began to feel drowsy. It felt like a terrifying force had dragged his soul out from his body that had fallen asleep and was guiding him to a mysterious world.

Time gradually passed. Sometime later, Qin Nan gradually awoke from the sleep.

"Mm? Is my current body formed from the cultivation will?"

Qin Nan keenly noticed something was out of place. He released his Divine Sense and exclaimed after taking a glance.

The fact that it had formed a Martial Monarch's flesh from his cultivation will and that the body looked exactly the same as himself was fairly terrifying.

"This place must be the Ancient City Taia?"

Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts and glanced at the surroundings. He quickly discovered that he was inside an ancient black city.

He could sense fifteen monarch auras from all directions in the city.

The city was Ancient City Taia, the only city in the entire Abstruse God Space.

Similarly, every Martial Monarch would arrive at the city each time they entered the space.

"It's been a month since the Monarch Horoscope Contest came to an end, yet you've only come here now?"

A hoarse voice sounded in Qin Nan's ears.

"Who's there?"

Qin Nan was startled, whose figure tensed and gathered the primary monarch force in his body.

His cultivation was equivalent to the sixth-layer Martial Monarch Realm now. Besides, his cultivation will was extremely terrifying. Those below the eighth-layer Martial Monarch Realm would never be able to get closer to him without him knowing.

"Hehe, you can call me Old Man Taia."

Following a burst of laughter, a white-haired old man with four deep marks on his face wearing a sackcloth garment slowly approached Qin Nan. He could not sense any presence from the old man.

"Old Man Taia?"

Qin Nan was slightly startled.

He had read the information from the scroll. This Old Man Taia was, in fact, the Weapon Spirit of the Ancient City Taia, who was specifically in charge of welcoming those who had visited the city for the very first time. Meanwhile, those with Abstruse God Pieces could trade them for all kinds of things as well.

"Here is your identity badge, think of a name."

Old Man Taia spoke. His skinny hand reached out with a crimson red badge.

Qin Nan lowered his guard when he saw the badge.

Only Old Man Taia of the Abstruse God Space had such a unique identity badge.

"Thank you, senior."

Qin Nan brought his fists together. He fired a stream of monarch force with a flick. Following this, the characters for Duan Qing surfaced on the identity badge.

It was the rule of the Abstruse God Space. Every Martial Monarch was required to come up with a name when they first got there. Besides that, every Martial Monarch came up with a different name instead of using their real names.

"You will find the Taia Ranking in Ancient City Taia. It has information regarding every Martial Monarch who is here. The ranking is allocated based on the number of Abstruse God Pieces everyone has.

"The deadline is the day before the God Horoscope Contest. Whoever has the most pieces will be deemed the winner and will receive a mysterious reward from Ancient City Taia.

"This scroll contains the Taia Ranking. Every Martial Monarch in the Abstruse God Space can be found on the ranking, including yourself."

Old Man Taia handed Qin Nan a dark golden scroll.

"Huh? The Taia Ranking?"

Qin Nan's eyes flickered when he heard this, who quickly checked it out with his Divine Sense.

He was fairly curious about how many pieces of the Abstruse God Pieces the Martial Monarchs had obtained in the Abstruse God Space.

However, his Divine Sense was blocked outside of the scroll as soon as he was about to dive into it.

Even he could not barge into the scroll with brute force.

"Hehe, I forgot to mention, checking the scroll requires an Abstruse God Piece. On top of that, if you need any Monarch Arts, Monarch Weapons, or a map of the Abstruse God Space, you can trade the pieces with me."

Old Man Taia forced a smile onto his face. The four deep marks on his face curled upward slightly.

"Even reading the scroll needs an Abstruse God Piece..."

Qin Nan was left speechless.

"However, once I've got enough pieces, I shall get myself a map."

Qin Nan mumbled.

From what the scroll had mentioned, the Abstruse God Space was extremely spacious. No one had yet to reach its end. Therefore, it would be a lot easier to find the Abstruse God Pieces with a detailed map.

"Senior, I shall excuse myself first."

Qin Nan brought his fists together and was about to leave. It was time for him to check out the Abstruse God Space.

"Wait, there's something I should tell you now. The Abstruse God Space is separated into the Heaven Realm and the Earth Realm.

"In the Heaven Realm, there are more Abstruse God Pieces and more fortunate encounters. In comparison, the Earth Realm has less.

'However, the Heaven Realm has lots of experts between the sixth-layer Martial Monarch Realm and the peak Martial Monarch Realm. If someone without a strong enough cultivation tries to enter the realm and is discovered by the Martial Monarchs, they would hunt the trespasser down."

Old Man Taia's eyes wore a deep look as he spoke.

"Heaven Realm? Earth Realm? The difference between Heavens and Earth, huh?"

Qin Nan squinted.

The Abstruse God Space was a lot more interesting than what he had imagined.

"Senior, thank you."

Qin Nan shook his head, not hesitating any further. He brought his fists together and expressed his gratitude, before heading straight toward the entrance of the city.

Sometime later, he flew out of the Ancient City Taia and headed for a certain place ahead.

Old Man Taia stared at Qin Nan's figure. He turned around when Qin Nan's figure disappeared into the distance. He was muttering something under his breath as he proceeded toward other places in the city.

If someone were close enough, they would hear the words he was muttering.

"Monarch Ranking, God Ranking, South-Heaven Gate. South-Heaven Gate, God Ranking, Monarch Ranking, God Ranking..."

He was repeating the names over and over again.
