Chapter 1971: Chapter 2057: Return to the Mortal World
In the void, a faint figure appeared. Chen Nan couldn’t see his appearance, only noticing the moment when the Demon Path Supreme spoke.
Ripples spread out in the void, the power from the other side was immense.
"Demon Path Supreme, in the ancient war, you were killed by my Heavenly People Clan. This time, a few miserable ants won’t change anything," the voice of the Talisman Emperor transformed into waves of energy.
Even the forces in the void dispersed. If Chen Nan hadn’t advanced to the Supreme Realm, he wouldn’t have been able to resolve it. Now, with divine power flowing, he dissolved it effortlessly.
"As for the Swallowing Heaven Talisman, since it has been fused, hand over that weapon as well. I’ve been coveting the weapon of the Primordial Heavenly Emperor for a long time..." The Talisman Emperor initially discovered the fourth Golden Phoenix Winged Spear but couldn’t take it, so he inscribed the Swallowing Heaven Talisman on it, aiming to scheme against the new owner of the Phoenix Winged Spear.
"You didn’t brush your teeth before going out, did you? What a big mouth, you scared me into forgetting my lines."
The Demon Path Supreme didn’t give any face just because the other was one of the Three Emperors, immediately resorting to a personal attack.
The Demon Path Supreme chuckled, "Don’t worry, I’ll give you a chance to fight Chen Nan, but not now. Your current opponent is this sovereign himself. My motto is: if you can use your fists, don’t waste words. Come on."
The Demon Path Supreme circulated his divine power, extended his hand, and launched an attack at the Talisman Emperor.
The Talisman Emperor smiled slightly, and also extended his hand. The two didn’t exercise any divine skills, engaging in a pure battle of strength.
"Bang!"
A light sound, without any earth-shattering commotion, the Demon Path Supreme and the Talisman Emperor seemed to gently clash palms.
From afar, it appeared as if two old friends were clapping hands in the void. However, Chen Nan knew that the power contained in that palm strike was truly terrifying, enough to crush a strong being of the Supreme Eighth Layer Heaven.
"I wonder if this Talisman Emperor has advanced to the Supreme Tenth Layer Heaven. Judging by his appearance, his strength doesn’t seem weak," Chen Nan mused.
He was contemplating that the Demon Path Supreme was bound to engage in a great battle with the Talisman Emperor in the void, but instead saw the Talisman Emperor vanish in the blink of an eye.
He had actually departed.
"Senior, what is going on, how... he just left like that?" Chen Nan was puzzled, that palm strike didn’t seem to show much.
"Hehe, this old fellow the Talisman Emperor is clever, knowing he’s not my match, so he retreated," the Demon Path Supreme laughed, "The wise understand time and circumstance, he must have prepared a divine talisman for escape before coming, so there’s no need to chase him, even if I did, I probably wouldn’t catch up."
The Demon Path Supreme said lightly, leaving Chen Nan speechless, thinking that his heart was really big.
However, this was also good, as the Demon Path Supreme’s intimidation could delay the final battle, allowing him time to refine and become familiar with the world origin power and laws upon advancing to the Supreme Realm.
This undoubtedly required time, even with the Chaos Sacred Body, it wasn’t achievable overnight.
Chu Wenrou, Su Qingqing, Huo Xinya, Liu Tiantian, Hua Xian’er, Ziyun and Zhao Han, along with the Four Fierce Eight Hammers, were guarding the divine statues of Xuan Tianji and others in the passage outside the Four Extremes World, their divine sense was inferior to the Demon Path Supreme and were unaware of the situation here.
With the departure of the Talisman Emperor, Chen Nan withdrew his divine power, and the Five Elements Big Formation gradually weakened, eventually disappearing entirely after maintaining for about an hour.
Having advanced to the Supreme Realm, he naturally no longer needed the Heavenly Ascending Ladder to descend to the Human World.
Supremes could easily traverse world barriers.
Upon seeing the big formation left by the Primordial Heavenly Emperor vanish, the Demon Path Supreme was not surprised, and after greeting Chen Nan, he retreated to the area where the divine statues of Xuan Tianji and the others were located.
"It’s time to go to the Human World."
Chen Nan glanced at the distant void, his figure disappearing. The next instant, he appeared above the area where his master Xuan Tianji and others were.
Looking at Su Qingqing and the others, Chen Nan inexplicably felt filled with determination, ’Wait, I, Chen Nan, will definitely give you a different world, a world that belongs to us.’
He employed the Rapid Yin Yang Dual World, entering the passage of the Four Extremes World, traversing the world barrier, and in the next moment, Chen Nan appeared in the star domain of the Human World.
"Hahaha, though the Spiritual Energy of the Human World isn’t as abundant as the Outer Domain Battlefield, returning to this familiar world feels great."
At the moment of Chen Nan’s descent, he intentionally released waves of aura.
From the direction of the Demon God Mountain, several strong beings appeared one after another, including the Tongtian Five Elders who used to be defeated by Chen Nan, Bai Shisi, and others.
"Chen Nan, you’ve returned!" Bai Shisi exclaimed, approaching to meet Chen Nan.
"Haha, esteemed seniors, long time no see," Chen Nan said with a smile, feeling an overwhelming sense of familiarity seeing these known faces.
"You kid have advanced to the Supreme Realm so quickly, in such a short time, we old men who’ve lived for thousands of years really feel ashamed," Bai Shisi said self-deprecatingly, with a carefree demeanor.
"You’re too kind, Lord Fourteen, haha. By the way, I brought back news that needs your confirmation. Was the predecessor of your Bai Ze Clan who went to the Outer Domain in ancient times called Bai Yue’er?" Chen Nan asked, recalling that a supreme from Yuehua Sacred Land had disguised as Bai Yue’er.
The opponent even proudly revealed the origin of the disguise, which probably wasn’t a lie.
"You’ve met my ancestor?" Bai Shisi’s face showed excitement, "Indeed, my ancestor’s name was so, but I do not know where she resides?"
Chen Nan sighed and recounted the events concerning the Top Supreme Tomb, making Bai Shisi’s expression turn sorrowful, appearing to be in great pain but forcibly enduring it.
"Don’t worry too much, Lord Fourteen. The vitality of top supremes is so strong that even the Netherworld cannot take their divine souls. Perhaps when the time is right, they might be revived," Chen Nan consoled Bai Shisi, feeling quite distressed himself at the realization that to revive his master and others, they’d have to consider targeting the Ten Strongest.
It’s said that Bai Ze comprehends all of creation, yet even the Demon God Mountain’s Lord Fourteen couldn’t control his emotions.
Bai Shisi bowed to Chen Nan and turned away, disappearing into the vast mountains.
Watching his departing figure, Chen Nan felt an endless sadness.
Cang Yue walked to Chen Nan’s side, sighing, "The Bai Ze Clan is sparse in number, though they’re divine beasts with knowledge of all things, yet they can’t escape the bonds of emotions. It’s inevitable for him to grieve over his ancestor’s downfall."
Chen Nan nodded.
He explained the purpose of his visit to the Human World.
After hearing it, Cang Yue was greatly surprised, "The world is truly wondrous, having such secret techniques for enhancing strength. We’ve been idling away in the Human World, truly ignorant. However, your method is indeed feasible, as collective strength is the strongest."
While they were speaking, Nine Clawed Fire Glass appeared not far away, striding over to Chen Nan, "Chen Nan, you finally care to return. Advancing to the Supreme Realm, not bad at all. Your great strength is just what I need to handle something. Recently, a strange event has occurred in the star domain."
Nine Clawed Fire Glass, without any room for objection, took Chen Nan towards the distant void. They traveled onward, reaching the location of Panlong Star, where Chen Nan saw a massive crater had formed on the star. The crater aligned with the direction of the sky, a black hole constantly spewing Spiritual Energy, and at its core, a powerful force was pulsating.
"It seems there’s a treasure emerging here. The person I trust most is you. You and I will seize it together!" Nine Clawed Fire Glass revealed his true nature without hesitation, gambling with his life.
