Chapter 1969: Chapter 2055: Promotion to Supreme
Chen Nan’s gaze flashed with determination. As he pondered, he understood the essence of the Demon Path Supreme’s method.
The power contained within this Divine Talisman is so vicious and can be continually supplied. It must not be without a source. Thus, within this Primordial Luotian Formation, countless Heavenly People Clan must have perished. The foundation of this Divine Talisman is built upon the innumerable skeletons and spirits in this region.
"Demon Lord senior, using poison to counter poison has a thirty percent chance. If I sever the source of this Divine Talisman, would it increase the odds to fifty percent?" Chen Nan chuckled. In an instant, he infused a strand of Divine Power into the Blood Gourd, urging it to devour the vicious aura within the Primordial Extinction Array.
At the same time, Chen Nan withdrew from the Fire Element Heavenly Skill, abandoning resistance against the invasion of the vicious aura. He directly wielded the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear in his hand, beginning the fusion with the fourth Golden Phoenix Winged Spear.
"Chichichi..."
Multitasking, beads of sweat the size of soybeans continuously slid down Chen Nan’s forehead.
He exerted all his strength to fuse the fourth Golden Phoenix Winged Spear.
The Blood Gourd frenziedly devoured the vicious and violent aura within the Formation.
"Chen Nan, you kid are simply a genius. Previously, I didn’t even think of this. With this, your success rate is at least over fifty percent, plus, in the grand formation left by your master, for thousands of years, it has unknown how many strong enemies it has killed. It can absorb and certainly produce several Blood-colored Evil Swords."
Outside the grand formation, the Demon Path Supreme became more and more excited as he pondered, a genius, an absolute genius. The resulting Blood-colored Evil Sword and Heavenly Dao Divine Thunder can counteract each other, capable of withstanding several attacks. Moreover, with the Divine Talisman losing its power source, relying on its own strength, the difficulty in preventing Chen Nan from fusing the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear has increased substantially.
"Chichichi..."
The black glow on the Divine Talisman atop the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear began to dim as Chen Nan’s pace in fusing the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear increased.
"Crack!"
After several hundred breaths, the fourth Golden Phoenix Winged Spear was halfway fused—a rapid speed, yet, for Chen Nan, not easy at all. He was drenched in sweat, the armor forming a small stream, constantly flowing down.
The sweat landing on the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear turned into steam.
"Come on, kid, you are about to succeed."
The Demon Path Supreme silently cheered for Chen Nan in his heart. This kid surprised him. Initially, because of the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, he wasn’t fond of him, but increasingly liked him, even feeling the impulse to take him as a disciple.
The Demon Path Supreme silently cheered for Chen Nan, and Chen Nan was also fighting desperately.
"Boom..."
At this critical moment, a Divine Thunder fell in the void, as thick as a large tree trunk, striking the Original Extinction Array with a force seemingly capable of obliterating it instantly.
But the next moment, the Divine Thunder dispersed above the array, energy rippling into the surrounding void.
"It held up."
Chen Nan mumbled to himself, startled for a moment, as the glow on the Divine Talisman flickered. "This... this Divine Talisman is actually absorbing the power of the Heavenly Dao Divine Thunder."
Chen Nan didn’t expect this outcome at all, and the Demon Path Supreme’s face changed drastically as well. "They say the Talisman Emperor, one of the Three Emperors, is adept at scheming and proficient in creating talismans. We underestimated him."
The transformation of the Divine Talisman resembles that of the formation set by the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, possessing multiple transformations. It can absorb both vicious aura and Heavenly Dao Divine Thunder.
The power of the thunder did not invade, and the glow on the Divine Talisman merely flickered, yet Chen Nan and the Demon Path Supreme both wore grim expressions.
As expected, in the next instant, what they feared transpired. After one descent of Heavenly Dao Divine Thunder, within just a few breaths, it began to descend continuously, the terrifying onslaught causing the entire Primordial Extinction Array to tremble incessantly.
"It’s over, Chen Nan, I’ll hold them off for you. You need to quickly complete the fusion. Remember, I can only support you for three hundred breaths. Once those three hundred breaths are up, this Divine Talisman will absorb more power than you currently possess, and by then, you’ll be doomed."
The Demon Path Supreme immediately ascended into the void, above the grand formation.
As a generation’s Demon Lord, holding the God Beating Whip, he stood in the void, commencing his fierce battle with the Divine Thunder.
For the first hundred breaths, Chen Nan fully concentrated on fusing the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear, while all the Divine Thunder was deflected by the God Beating Whip held by the Demon Path Supreme, scattering into the void.
Each Divine Thunder could annihilate a plethora of supremes in an instant, yet it was completely stifled by the Demon Path Supreme.
In the middle of the first hundred breaths, part of the stormy Divine Thunder penetrated the Demon Path Supreme’s defenses, but could not breach beyond the Primordial Extinction Array.
"Just needed at least another hundred breaths to completely finish the fusion. Once the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear is fully fused, I will gain tremendous power, and this Divine Talisman could then be suppressed."
Chen Nan’s expression shifted slightly, and inevitably, tension mounted within him. If the fusion of the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear failed, his promotion to Supreme would become an illusion.
Chen Nan, too, did not want to fall victim to scheming. Even if it was planned by one of the Three Emperors or the ten strongest, it was not acceptable.
"Star Dust Cross, impact the seventy-two acupoints."
With a thought of his mind, Chen Nan instantaneously operated the Star Dust Technique, directly impacting seventy-two acupoints based on the original points of success.
By now, over two hundred breaths had passed. If the fusion could not be completed within the final hundred breaths, it would signify failure.
"Bang bang..."
The acupoints within him began to pierce through, causing Chen Nan’s face to contort in pain, his fingernails deeply embedded in his palm’s flesh.
"The time is up, but I am still short by several breaths of time."
Chen Nan’s face became extremely grim as he observed that in the void, the Demon Path Supreme could no longer disperse all the Divine Thunder; at least half were starting to descend, with the Primordial Extinction Array absorbing most of it, but a small portion still landed.
This small portion, although not much, could not be easily endured by him.
"Buzz..."
Several beams of Divine Thunder struck Chen Nan, causing a force from above the Desolate Divine Dragon Armor to ripple out, making Chen Nan’s body tremble immensely. He spat a mouthful of blood, and at this moment, vast Star Power from the distant void surged toward him.
"The seventy-two acupoints, finally succeeded."
Chen Nan was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, at the instant when the Divine Thunder bombarded the Desolate Divine Dragon Armor, it aided him in refining the Dragon Emperor’s Essence Soul Power.
Allowing him to succeed in impacting the acupoints.
The Power of Crossing spread through his body, and in an instant, Chen Nan’s power magnified several times over. He raised both palms, performing the Sky Supporting Hand, dissipating the beams of Divine Thunder that seemed poised to strike him.
"Hahaha, damn Heavenly Dao, come have a duel with me."
The aura on Chen Nan resembled that of a revived God Demon, pressing forward without hesitation. In an instant, he completed the fusion of the fourth Golden Phoenix Winged Spear. He soared into the sky, brandishing the newly advanced Golden Phoenix Winged Spear, furiously assaulting the Heavenly Dao Divine Thunder.
"Damn it, haven’t advanced yet. How can reaching the Supreme Realm be so tough?"
Chen Nan’s power soared, his glimmer surpassing standard supremes several times over, yet he still had not broken through.
"The Divine Talisman is still on the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear, not damaged during the fusion process. It truly is peculiar." Glancing at the Divine Talisman left by the Talisman Emperor, Chen Nan’s gaze flickered with a cold glint, yet his lips curled into an evil smile.
"In that case, I’ll integrate you as well, boosting the energy absorption capacity of the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear." With a thought, Chen Nan set the Chaotic Power forming a Circulation within him, simultaneously operating the Five Elements Heavenly Technique.
