Chapter 1329 - The Tree of Abomination
"What...what"s going on here?"
Sima Kong wore a blank expression.
Little Worm?
A donkey in the lion"s skin?
Pulling a joke on them?
Did that mean the terrifying presence of the Martial G.o.d Realm they had sensed a moment ago was a disguise used by someone in the Dragon G.o.d Chamber to scare them?
Qin Nan could feel his eyelids twitching too.
He did not expect the ruler of the Dragon G.o.d Chamber—who could claim to be the ruler of the Golden Dragon Valley—would do such a thing.
"Hehe, fellow cultivators, I was joking with you, please don"t mind. I"ll open the door now for you to come in."
The presence referred to as a "little worm" switched the topic with a chuckle when he did not receive a response from the Empress.
The tightly shut doors of the Dragon G.o.d Chamber were slowly pulled open. The mystical glow they emitted diminished, while the traps and forbidding auras were deactivated.
The Dragon G.o.d Chamber was the core of the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace. Without the ruler"s permission, even a peak Martial Monarch would die trying to trespa.s.s into it.
"A joke, you..."
Sima Kong was infuriated when he heard the words.
Could they even call it a joke?
He had almost been scared to death by it.
"Let"s head inside."
Qin Nan shook his head. He grabbed Sima Kong and flew forward.
Either way, they could discuss it further after they had entered the Dragon G.o.d Chamber.
"Could all of these be Monarch Arts? Holy c.r.a.p, there are G.o.d Arts here too..."
The infuriated Sima Kong was left with a blank expression when he saw the sight on the first floor of the palace.
The first floor covered an area with a circ.u.mference of over two hundred zhang. Purple-golden crystals of various sizes were scattered across the place and each had an ancient manual on top of it.
There was a total of six hundred and seventy manuals, each glowing with monarch intents and some of them were even emitting intimidating G.o.d intents.
"The Art of Ten Thousand Illusionary Swords, the Holy Ancient Spirit, the Heavenly Immortal Technique, the Lunar Sword Curse...these Monarch Arts, they aren"t just ordinary Monarch Arts..."
Sima Kong could not help but smack his lips as he scanned the place.
Many of the Monarch Arts were once the strongest attacks of some famous Martial Monarchs or the forbidden Monarch Arts of the Eight Ancient Tribes, each being priceless.
"I should spend some time looking through them later."
Qin Nan"s eyes glistened.
Since he had embarked on the path of achieving the Martial Monarch Realm himself, he did not have the chance to explore and comprehend other Monarch Arts.
The three went up the stairs.
A few moments later, the three arrived on the fourth floor.
Sima Kong"s face was full of astonishment when they saw the sight on the fourth floor. Even Qin Nan was given a great shock!
From the outside, the Dragon G.o.d Chamber did not look outstanding, but apart from the first floor, the second, third, and fourth floors also had lots of materials, pills, and artifacts!
In addition to that, the materials, pills, and artifacts were extraordinary. Every single one of them was very rare and hard to find in the half-G.o.d region, thus making them exceedingly valuable!
This was not the Dragon G.o.d Chamber, it was a stunning treasure site!
"Hehe, excuse my collection, it"s just a bunch of stuff I"ve collected over the years, nothing significant."
The "little worm" who had been silent along the way spoke once again as if he had seen the expressions on their faces. Although the words seemed rather humble, the tone sounded quite proud.
"Qin Nan, the fifth floor..."
Bai Ling"er ignored the shocking discovery the two had made. Her eyes were fixed on the door toward the fifth floor and her breathing intensified.
"Oh? An Innate Soul Vessel?"
Little Worm sounded surprised.
He had yet to observe the three carefully. To his surprise, the charming little girl was an Innate Soul Vessel and on top of that, a Death Soul Vessel.
"The fifth floor?"
Qin Nan immediately headed for the fifth floor as he collected his thoughts.
He had come to the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace specifically to help Jiang Bilan, thus his priority was to check out the thing that the copper mirror had mentioned.
BANG.
However, as the three stepped onto the fifth floor, a strong evil presence surged in their direction like a fierce tide, as if it were trying to devour everything.
"Destruction Domain!"
Qin Nan was startled. He immediately unleashed his Destruction Domain!
BANG BANG BANG!
A series of explosions took place!
Even the Destruction Domain began to tremble vigorously facing the evil presence as if it were going to be shattered anytime!
"Is that..."
Qin Nan and Sima Kong both raised their heads, their eyes widening following a glimpse!
The fifth floor was completely empty apart from a pitch-black tree that stood at the center!
Although the pitch-black tree was only eight zhang tall, the evil presence from it was overwhelming, as if it were a demon bringing strong pressure to the people nearby!
Even the pressure from the pieces of the Canglan Tree he had acquired was incomparable with it!
"This is the Tree of Abomination."
"Qin Nan, do you still remember the Ancient Demon Path?"
The voice of the copper mirror said.
"The Ancient Demon Path?"
Qin Nan was slightly startled.
He did have a strong impression of the Ancient Demon Path.
The Ancient Demon Path was located at the Skycloud Mountain Range. The rumors had described it as a path leading to the Nine Heavens.
He had even trained there with the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.
"Eight thousand years ago, a seed floated out from the Ancient Demon Path, which grew into this Tree of Abomination.
"Although this Tree of Abomination is nothing like the Canglan Tree, it does contain some force from the Nine Heavens within it.
"Jiang Bilan has turned into the Death Crystal, the force originated from the Nine Heavens and the evil presence will be a great help for her to comprehend the origin of death."
The mysterious woman in the copper mirror said coldly, explaining the details.
"I see, copper mirror, thanks."
Qin Nan"s eyes flickered. He expressed his grat.i.tude to the copper mirror and took out the Death Crystal.
The Death Crystal seemed to be aware of something. It flew to the Tree of Abomination and unleashed a magical force to absorb the evil presence from the tree.
