Chapter 2 - Divine Battle Spiri (2/2)

“The grade of the Martial Spirit is indeed very important…” Qin Nan thought to himself.

He clenched the Scarlet Flame Saber in his hands as he meticulously inspected the saber. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but reveal a hint of bitterness.

After experiencing cultivation, he finally understood why the grades of Martial Spirits were so important.

For example, he had been cultivating for six hours but he gained nothing out of it. However, if Qin Changkong were to cultivate for six hours, I’m afraid he would have already broken through the first-layer of Body Tempering.

Furthermore, the higher grade your Martial Spirit is, the greater amount of assistance it can provide during a fight.

“However, thankfully I awakened a first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit. If it was some other grade, then I’m afraid I’d be quite gloomy….”

The corner of Qin Nan’s mouth curled into an indifferent smile. With a thought, he entered and immersed himself within his Dantian.

Within Qin Nan’s Dantian was a floating crimson thunderbolt around the size of a knuckle, drifting up and down. The thunderbolt also emanated a mysterious and dreadful ancient aura.

This was Qin Nan’s greatest secret, even his father didn’t know about this.

During his training session when he was fourteen years old, he had encountered an abrupt change in weather which caused a rainfall. As he rushed to find a place to shelter himself from the rain, Qin Nan was unluckily struck by a crimson thunderbolt.

The matter of him being struck by a heavenly thunder had actually been known by every single citizen of Linshui City. However, the fact that they had not known was that following the incident where Qin Nan had been struck by the thunderbolt, new memories had emerged within his mind, while a crimson thunderbolt emerged within his body.

“According to the shattered fragment of the memory, this crimson thunderbolt was an ownerless Martial Spirit known as the Divine Battle Spirit. “

“If one wanted to obtain this Divine Battle Spirit, then they would have to tribute their own Martial Spirit to obtain it.”

“Moreover, the higher the grade of your Martial Spirit, then the lower the chances of awakening the Divine Battle Spirit. However, if your Martial Spirit was at first-grade Huang rank, then you could definitely awaken the Divine Battle Spirit.

The smile on the corners of Qin Nan’s mouth stretched wider and wider, this was the reason as to why he had not been depressed over awakening a first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit.

After all, the origins of the Divine Battle Spirit was mysterious. If he had awakened a fifth-grade Martial Spirit and used it as an offering, then he wouldn’t have been able to guarantee its odds of success.

One would need to be quite optimistic to use a fifth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit as a tribute.

However, as Qin Nan’s Martial Spirit was currently a first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, as well as his status of being a waste, there was practically no difference. If he were to tribute in his current state, although he could not guarantee the odds of success, he also wouldn’t be under any pressure.

The smile on Qin Nan’s face quickly vanished as he held the Scarlet Flame Saber in his hands. He inhaled a deep breath and said, “Now, I’ll be using this saber as a tribute….”

Qin Nan’s face immediately turned grim as he began to chant verses of an ancient incantation.

This incantation was called ‘Spirit Sacrifice Technique’. This technique had emerged within his mind when he was struck by the thunderbolt.

Spirit Sacrifice Technique, just as the name implied, was a technique which allowed one to sacrifice their own Martial Spirit. This technique was extremely peculiar, it didn’t require the expenditure of Spiritual Qi or any other costs. It was incomparably mysterious.

Following the activation of Spirit Sacrifice Technique, a few black lights emerged from Qin Nan’s hands. Following this, the black lights became viscous, it was like liquid, incessantly extruding.

Qin Nan’s face became solemn as he immediately raised his palm toward the Scarlet Flame Saber in front of him and firmly grasped it.

A stunning scene could be seen, the entire Scarlet Flame Saber begun to buzz and quiver. It was like an incorporeal destructive power blew up within the Scarlet Flame Saber’s body, causing it to instantly explode.

After the Scarlet Flame Saber had exploded, it filled the skies with red-colored dots. It was as though it had blossomed into small wisps of flames.

Qin Nan’s complexion immediately paled. During the instant the Scarlet Flame Saber had exploded, he felt as if his soul was pulled out, causing him to almost suffocate.

After all, although Martial Spirits were granted to him by the heavens, it was also a part of him. When his Martial Spirit shattered, it was equivalent to Qin Nan’s body shattering.

Qin Nan grit his teeth and endured the pressure emanating from his brain. He extended a palm toward the sky and clasped his hands, a mysterious attraction force immediately erupted from the black liquid within his palms.

The scattered red-colored dots in the air was immediately absorbed into Qin Nan’s body as it poured into his Dantian.

The Crimson Thunderbolt within his Dantian absorbed the entirety of the red dots. In this instant, it was as if the time had frozen, followed by an abrupt explosion from the Crimson Thunderbolt.

“The Divine Battle Spirit wages war against the heavens and battle against earth. Whether they be Gods or Buddhas, there is none He does not fight and none He does not win against.”

The imposing ancient voice felt like countless of thunderbolts simultaneously surging through Qin Nan’s mind.

“Ah…..”

Qin Nan widened his bloodshot eyes, he was unable to utter a single sound of pain. Soon after, he was quaked unconscious due to the enormous shock.
