Chapter 1994: Chapter 2080: Breakthrough Achieved
Chen Nan was very depressed. That person’s strength was extremely strong, and if the Haotian Tower couldn’t withstand it, it might be taken away by him.
"Su Dieyi, kill me or let me out."
Chen Nan looked outside. The power of the Haotian Tower was clashing with that strong person, and as the two forces collided, ripples spread out.
The Black Feathered Chicken and the Five Holy Beasts were instantly blown away and passed out in the distance.
If their defensive power wasn’t strong, they might have been killed on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Chen Nan’s eyes were about to burst. Even though his power was insufficient to deal with that person, he had to find a way out.
"Chen Nan, don’t even think about it. I won’t let you out. I still want to slowly torment you."
Su Dieyi directly quelled Chen Nan’s idea in the cradle.
"Let me out, just for a while, and afterwards, you can kill or flay me at your will." Chen Nan looked at the scene outside, trembling with tension. The Haotian Tower was powerful, but it had once said that in the Outer Domain Battlefield, it had its enemies.
Those people were all extremely powerful entities, and even before Chen Nan advanced to Supreme, the Haotian Tower didn’t dare to break through.
"Buzzing!"
The power shook again and again, and the strong person’s expression suddenly changed, "You have actually undergone a Divine Soul Imprint, but that’s okay. No matter who it is, as long as they’re on this Outer Domain Battlefield, I can persuade them to abandon you."
"Heh, the Immortal Monk, from the time I left until now, it has been thirty thousand years. Little Tower Master thought you had already kicked the bucket, but didn’t expect you to be so resilient. Does living like this interest you?" Haotian Tower laughed.
Upon hearing this, Chen Nan focused his gaze and noticed the man had the Precepts Seal on his head; he was actually a monk, appearing to be in his early twenties.
In his hand was a string of blood-red prayer beads.
He was also wearing a monk robe, looking quite ancient as if it had gone through countless years.
"Haotian Tower, aren’t you just as talkative as ever over the years? I, the Immortal Monk, naturally have a long life. Even if everyone in your Haotian Realm perishes, I will still live on." The Immortal Monk spoke with a smile.
"Your strength has only recovered to fifty percent of the Peak State. Such once-in-a-lifetime opportunities are indeed rare. Today, I must make you serve me, so don’t struggle anymore."
The Immortal Monk laughed maniacally, "After that major catastrophe thirty thousand years ago, my strength greatly decreased, forcing me to wander the Outer Domain. I didn’t expect fate would be kind enough to send me such a grand gift."
The Immortal Monk brought down a Mysterious Power from his hand, intending to continue subduing the Haotian Tower.
Suddenly, he glanced towards where the Fengtian Talisman was located.
"Do you think you’re the only clever one? Did you discover my existence while I was breaking through? Among the experts in the Outer Domain, aren’t many more terrifying than you? Don’t you know this yourself?" Haotian Tower chuckled lightly.
Haotian Tower let out a cold laugh: "Your nemesis has come. Let’s see which of you two can take me away!"
The Immortal Monk’s eyes suddenly burst with brilliance, instinctively blocking with the blood-red prayer beads at the void.
"Boom!"
The Immortal Monk shuddered, his face turning pale, as from the void, a Taoist emerged, smiling at him.
The Immortal Monk’s expression slightly changed, seeming quite hesitant.
He stood in place, pacing for several breaths, watching the Taoist wielding a horsetail whisk, shimmering with Divine Light, his face changed dramatically.
He clasped his hands together, muttering, and in the blink of an eye, a Space-Time Gate that could accommodate a person opened behind him, the Immortal Monk stepped back, flashed through, and disappeared instantly.
Inside the Fengtian Talisman, Chen Nan was drenched in sweat. He had just breathed a sigh of relief when his heart leapt to his throat again. The monk was gone, but this Taoist...
While worried, Chen Nan saw the Taoist linger in the air for dozens of breaths, then vanished in an instant.
At that moment, Chen Nan felt the pressure on his body ease as Su Dieyi released the Fengtian Talisman’s hold on him, "Get lost!" Her voice was chillingly cold.
Chen Nan, not bothering to argue, quickly exited the Fengtian Talisman.
"Little Tower!"
Chen Nan called out anxiously.
"Chen Nan, I’m fine. That girl saved your life, you should thank her!"
Haotian Tower chuckled, "This time, finally a breakthrough, but in the future, keep a low profile when possible. The Outer Domain Battlefield has troubling figures. Even though their strength doesn’t match peak levels of the past, we still can’t afford to provoke them!"
Chen Nan wanted to ask more, but Haotian Tower urged, "That girl saved your life. Thank her now; she seems to be leaving."
Remembering the scene inside the Fengtian Talisman, Chen Nan realized that if he emerged, the strong person could possibly track the connection between him and the Haotian Tower and might actually kill him.
His face flushed with realization, understanding Su Dieyi’s intention, he turned to thank her, but as he moved, he found the Fengtian Talisman had vanished in the blink of an eye.
Chen Nan reached out in vain, and then, helpless, turned towards the Five Holy Beasts.
The Black Feathered Chicken had suffered unjust misfortune.
With Haotian Tower’s breakthrough, its strength had greatly increased, and Chen Nan even suspected it now held power equivalent to the Supreme King.
However, there was no time for concern as a stream of Divine Power above the Black Feathered Chicken divided into five, continuously pouring into the Black Feathered Chicken, Fire Qilin, Pu Li Strange Beast, and the Two Great Guardians.
The bodies of the Five Holy Beasts were mighty, waking up in just moments.
The Five Holy Beasts drooped their heads and gathered beside Chen Nan.
They hadn’t even had a chance to fight before being stunned, so their mood dampened.
"Heh, little chickens, what’s with the long faces? The guy just now was an early-stage Domain Lord thirty thousand years ago. If not for that great catastrophe setting him back, you would’ve been dead just now."
Haotian Tower chuckled.
Seeing the stupefied expressions of the Black Feathered Chicken and others, Haotian Tower continued, "After that disaster, he didn’t fare much better than I did. Now reaching this Realm after retraining is quite commendable."
Chen Nan, curious, asked, "What Realm is the Immortal Monk exactly?" He sensed that the Immortal Monk’s strength exceeded that of the Witch Demon King.
"He should be in the Supreme Ten Heavens. After my promotion, had I not opened the secret treasure in my body and taken a Dan crafted by my previous master, I definitely couldn’t withstand his attack."
Chen Nan recalled the Taoist who vanished into thin air, inquiring out of curiosity, "Little Tower, what was with that Taoist? The Immortal Monk seemed quite afraid of him."
