Chapter 215 - Devoured (2/2)
The pitch-black eyeball rose into the air, and transformed into a beam of arcane light which penetrated Qin Nan’s left eye.
……
……
Princess Miao Miao and the Longhu Ancestor Beast stood a thousand meters away from the beam of light, their figures trembling.
Suddenly, the beam of light vanished, returning silence to the surroundings.
“It disappeared!”
The Longhu Ancestor Beast uttered a dull roar, his face filled with excitement.
Without the terrifying pressure from before, he felt the entire world was now brighter, and his future to be brighter too.
Princess Miao Miao wore a stern look, and dashed forward without saying anything.
As the two approached the center, they immediately saw Qin Nan’s body lying on the ground, his left eye shut. His entire body was covered in countless purple runes, and his breathing weakened, as if it would dissipate anytime soon.
“Qin Nan!”
The expressionless face of Princess Miao Miao was now filled with a hint of panic as she screamed.
Qin Nan lay motionless on the ground. More and more purple runes wrapped around his body like snakes, while emitting a faint atavistic aura.
“Hey young lad, stop pretending to be dead!”
The Longhu Ancestor Beast disdainfully glanced at Qin Nan. Throughout many years living as beast, he self-admitted to be an utterly shameless person. However, this guy in front of him was even more shameless, trying to get Princess Miao Miao worried about him by faking his death.
He instantly reached out his claws and lashed out a kick at Qin Nan without mercy.
BANG!
All of a sudden, a terrifying aura was fired from Qin Nan’s body onto the Longhu Ancestor Beast’s figure.
Ah!
A miserable cry of agony immediately echoed out on the deserted island.
The Longhu Ancestor Beast’s figure was instantly sent flying a hundred meters away, as a huge amount of blood spurted from his ferocious dragon head. His tiger body was fractured too, leaving him in a miserable state.
Princess Miao Miao was astonished.
The Longhu Ancestor Beast was a descendant of the Heavenly Dragon and the Thunderous Tiger. Its dragon head and tiger body possessed outstanding defense. Even one who had reached the peak of Martial Emperor Realm could not harm him.
What is happening to Qin Nan?
Isn’t his cultivation sealed too?
What happened here after the wooden box was opened?”
“Cough, cough…”
The Longhu Ancestor Beast from afar struggled to his feet and limped toward Princess Miao Miao. His pair of dragon eyes were filled with utter terror, “This guy… The thing inside him… Is not the same person…He… I’m afraid his soul was devoured…”
“His soul was devoured?”
Princess Miao Miao’s expression utterly changed.
Devouring alluded to the act of strong experts who took over someone’s body using their soul when they died.
However, this act of devouring was extremely wicked. Even Martial Sacred Realm experts could not master such a technique.
It was likely that the godly object the Nine Symbolic Words referred to was trying to devour Qin Nan!
“This ain’t good!”
Before Princess Miao Miao could process her thoughts, she was immediately aware that Qin Nan’s life was depleting at a great speed. Before she could react, in just less than three breaths’ time, his sense of life had thoroughly vanished like a surging tide!
Qin Nan… is dead!
