Peerless Battle Spirit Chapter 1418 - Soul Into the Abyss

"What just happened?"

The faces of Martial God Hongye and the others were full of disbelief.

When Magical Hair waged war against South-Heaven, the Seven Luminaries Flying Sword had already disappeared miraculously twice.

And now, it had managed to pull it off a third time?

"Who would have thought the power of the sword would have reached this level. No wonder they still dare to show up under the circumstances."

Yin and Yang Taoist reacted, whose eyes flickered with a hint of a black and white glow, "But you've underestimated my capabilities."

Whoosh!

An illusionary figure of an ancient turtle rose from his back, followed by an ancient drawing full of strange runes, an enormous chessboard with black, gray, and white pieces, and a bunch of bamboo straws that were already rotting. Each of them was covered by the presence of Heavenly Fortune.

"Heaven-opposing deductions, reveal the great Dao!"

Yin and Yang Taoist's figure erupted in illusionary flames as he performed magical hand seals with two hands. As he activated the instruments one after another, they began to emit wisps of blinding light.

Countless images surfaced as if the whole world was under observation.

"They might appear in these three places?" Yin and Yang Taoist fixed his eyes on three of the images and said without hesitation, "If that's the case, we'll choose the Skycloud Mountain Range!"

"Eight cultivators, head to the Skycloud Mountain Range at once. They are going to appear there!"

"Senior South-Heaven..."

He had already prepared a backup plan before.

He had not just speculated the places that Qin Nan and his crew would appear, but also the places they would escape to once they resolved the danger.

As such, he had greatly limited the possibilities. With his final deduction, he only needed to choose one place out of three possibilities.

Although the odds were one in three, he had a strong feeling from his instincts that Qin Nan and the others would show up at the Skycloud Mountain Range.

"Got it!"

The eight Martial God Realm experts that were close to the Skycloud Mountain Range, and the South-Heaven Gate, Monarch Ranking, and God Ranking who were making their way toward the Dragon Emperor Clan immediately tore through the rift and made their way toward their destination at a shocking pace.

That being said, the rest of the cultivators were completely unaware of the arrangements made behind the scenes.

Their hearts almost stopped beating as they witnessed the sequence of events.

Had they really let Qin Nan escape after they had had such a great chance?

Meanwhile, among the Hundred Great Mountains of the Middle Continent, the Skycloud Mountain Range...

The Seven Luminaries Flying Sword appeared following a whoosh, producing huge gusts of wind that blew the white mist under it apart.

Inside the sword, the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain, the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, and Seven Luminaries Sword Spirit wore solemn looks on their faces as they continuously performed obscure hand seals.

They were at the most crucial part of the plan.

They had to finish it within a short period of time. Otherwise, the entire plan would be in vain.

"Qin Nan, now!"

Seven Luminaries Sword Spirit suddenly yelled, "Blossoming of the Bodhi, one with the flesh!"

The entire place began to tremble following these words.

The Bodhi Jade Soul Tree emitted wisps of a brilliant glow as a flower with seven colors slowly blossomed.

"The Heavens and Earth as the furnace, all things as the rocks, Dao as the fire, refine the essence, nurture the consciousness. The soul shall break free from the flesh and be formless..."

Qin Nan who was covered in blood and was nailed with six giant soul spikes withstood the piercing pain and uttered a series of chants before entering the Bodhi Jade Soul Tree.

Dang!

Qin Nan felt like an ancient bell was rung in his mind.

A faint, immortal glow slowly surfaced on his body.

The Taowu Soul-Sealing Spikes managed to seal off Qin Nan's monarch force, but the art Qin Nan performed was utilizing the power of his soul. It was not affected by the spikes.

"Art of the primary soul, exiting the flesh!"

An illusionary figure floated out from Qin Nan's flesh, which was none other than his soul.

As for his flesh, it had merged with the Bodhi Jade Soul Tree into one. It had a calm expression with steady breathing, bathed in an overwhelming life force. Even its wounds were slowly recovering.

"Fellow seniors, I'll be back in seven years’ time!"

Qin Nan brought his fists together before he set the teleportation talisman he had already prepared aflame. His soul immediately vanished as he went straight to the Ancient Demon Path.

"Finally."

The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain let out a relieved sigh.

Even though the whole process seemed fairly smooth, if there was even the slightest error in any part of the process, regardless of how outstanding Qin Nan's cultivation was, death was still inevitable.

"Those old folks have just arrived, perfect timing."

Seven Luminaries Sword Spirit looked up. Its aura strengthened instead of growing weaker.

Meanwhile, in the Mind-Linking Boulder in the South-Heaven Sacred Ground...

As new images were transmitted to the boulder, the eyes of the cultivators widened.

"Eight Martial God Realm seniors?"

"Isn't that the sword that just disappeared?"

They did not expect that the shocking turn of events when they had assumed that it had already come to an end.

In addition to that, the sky above the Skycloud Mountain Range suddenly became pitch-black, as the rules of cultivation were shattered into pieces, turning into chaos.

Countless glaciers, powerful gusts, and lightning scattered across the place like savage beasts. The entire place shook vigorously as if the apocalypse had arrived.

The cultivators could still feel the overwhelming pressure even though they were watching the situation through the images.

"Senior...South-Heaven, God Ranking, and Monarch Ranking?"

The cultivators were stunned as they saw the silhouette of a giant door and two magnificent figures appearing from the chaos. Their faces were immediately filled with joy.

Although they were clueless about what had happened, they only knew one thing.

With the wills of Senior South-Heaven Gate and the other two seniors and the eight Martial Gods, it was impossible for the sword to escape!

They had won the battle!

"It's finally going to end now."

Yin and Yang Taoist took a sip of tea and wore a satisfied smile.

"Dao Origin, Martial Serendipity!"

Meanwhile, the South-Heaven Gate's icy voice exploded above the Skycloud Mountain Range, "You have three breaths' time to hand Qin Nan over, and I'll consider sparing your lives!"

BANG!

The space in the surroundings solidified into brilliant crystals when outstanding energy filled the space.

As a precaution, they had constructed the walls with the laws of cultivation before showing up.

Even if the sword could disappear still, it had no chance of moving through the walls of laws. They would have to break the walls to escape.

"HAHAHA, South-Heaven Gate, do you really think you have the situation under control?" The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain burst out laughing in the sword, "I believe everyone is watching this through the Mind-Linking Boulder, so I don't mind telling you all...

"The counterattack, has only just begun!"

Following a whooshing noise, the Seven Luminaries Flying Sword instantly moved past the walls and vanished into thin air.
