Chapter 1995: Chapter 2081: Outer Domain Situation
The Haotian Tower chuckled softly, and a puppet appeared in its hand. "This is called the Three-faced God Puppet, which I crafted from a Divine Tree in the Haotian Realm. It can transform, blurring the line between real and fake. I hadn’t used it and kept it in my internal space treasury, and it seems the immortal monk was indeed frightened away by it."
The Small Tower was quite pleased with itself, but Chen Nan shuddered with a cold sweat. So that Taoist was a transformation. Nonetheless, this Three-faced God Puppet was truly peculiar; the Taoist seemed both physically and spiritually real, and the divine power it displayed was not weak in the slightest.
However, if that immortal monk discerned its flaws, the Small Tower could be in danger.
"Once, there were four powerful figures outside the realm, known by Nine Heavens and Ten Realms’ practitioners as the undying family. Among them was the immortal monk we just met, as well as an immortal Taoist, an immortal beauty, and an immortal scholar."
The Haotian Tower explained to everyone, "These four individuals, back when I was around, were already early-stage Domain Lord practitioners. They were somewhat renowned, being able to roam freely across Nine Heavens and Ten Realms. However, after a great calamity, their cultivation regressed. Now, that immortal monk seems to be around the Supreme Ten Heavens level. The other three have similar qualifications and should be around this realm, but among the four, one is more troublesome than the other. You’d better be cautious if you encounter them in the future."
Supreme Ten Heavens, Chen Nan’s heart raced. What kind of existence was that? No wonder the Haotian Tower, after consuming the elixir refined by its former master and greatly enhancing its power, could barely fend off the immortal monk’s attack.
"Heh, Small Tower, you say if I encounter these four, I would probably be killed in one move. How about this, take out some of the elixirs from your secret treasury and give them to me."
Chen Nan’s storage ring was emptier than his face. After helping Yun Chen and the Liu Family ancestor train Heaven Punishment Alliance members, all those Five Infant Immortal Pills, battle armors, weapons, and cultivation techniques had been contributed.
"Chen Nan, don’t even think about the elixirs in my secret treasury right now. At the very least, you need to reach Supreme King power to consume them. Otherwise, even with a Chaos Sacred Body, you’ll burst and die; you’re just too weak like a chicken right now."
One sentence from the Haotian Tower shattered Chen Nan’s fantasy.
"Supreme King power..."
Chen Nan’s face darkened. Even killing a Supreme Eighth Layer was just luck; when it came to an actual fight, he might not even be a match for an early-stage Supreme Eighth Layer. A Supreme King is much more powerful than a Supreme Eighth Layer.
The Small Tower landed on Chen Nan’s shoulder: "I can’t give you the elixirs, but I can give you the Three-faced God Puppet. This puppet not only has transformation abilities but can also deliver an attack equivalent to a peak full-face transformation hit, potentially saving your life at a critical moment."
The Haotian Tower chuckled, "However, it can be used only twice more. The Small Tower just used it once; you have two uses left."
Initially uninterested in the Three-faced God Puppet, upon hearing the Haotian Tower’s words, Chen Nan was flabbergasted. To deliver a peak full-face transformation attack - that was practically a Divine Artifact.
"I’ll teach you the spell; the person you wish to transform must be someone you have met. Remember that." From inside the Haotian Tower, golden scripts flew out, entering Chen Nan’s mind.
"Two uses, and must be someone I’ve seen. Besides the Demon Path Supreme...who else?" Chen Nan frowned, already pondering good options in his mind.
"Do not use it unless at the gate of death. Once it fails, the opponent could study the power from that peak hit. The Demon Lord shoulders the Four Extremes World’s mission to repel the Heavenly People Clan. If found out by the enemy, the consequences are unimaginable."
With those words, the Haotian Tower sank Chen Nan’s mood to rock bottom.
Damn, can’t a guy have some fun without worries?
Almost all the Yuehua Sacred Land experts were dead; the few who escaped were insignificant. The Star Soul Holy Lord had already surrendered, and the matters of the two great sacred places were nearly resolved.
This top Supreme like the immortal monk appearing on the Outer Domain battlefield had to be reported to the Demon Path Supreme for precautions at least.
Chen Nan stored away the Three-faced God Puppet, climbed on the Black Feathered Chicken, and flew back to the Wanshou Valley palace, which had been remodeled, now ten times larger than before.
In this part of the Void, among the numerous palaces, it resembled a giant colossus.
As soon as Chen Nan returned to the palace, the Four Fierce Eight Hammers came out. Shi Fanzhen had already broken through to the Supreme Realm, as had Yu Wenhe, Chen Yi, and Luo Cuiling, who reached Half-step Supreme.
"Brother, judging by your momentum, the two great sacred places have been settled?" Shi Fanzhen greeted Chen Nan happily upon his return.
Chen Nan nodded, briefly explaining the situation. The matter of the Divine Mirror and Demon Emperor had already been addressed by the Liu Family ancestor, leaving a slight ache in everyone’s hearts. Still, it was a fate seemingly destined for the Divine Mirror and Chen Nan, and there was at least a chance for reincarnation, so it wasn’t the worst case.
"The Star Soul Holy Lord surrendering is indeed a great boon. The Star Soul Holy Land has two super Supremes who could become major assets for us," the Dragon Emperor commented, well aware of the Star Soul Holy Land’s situation, feeling a tinge of excitement at the news.
"In recent days, several Heavenly People Clan Supremes have also come to surrender, wanting to join us," the Dragon Emperor chuckled.
Chen Nan grinned, "These first-rate and second-rate sect Heavenly People Clan Supremes, without the protection of the two great sacred places and with the Ten Strongest ignoring them, are now like lost dogs, and they suddenly remember us now."
"Indeed, so we discussed and decided not to take them in. As long as they don’t interfere with the matters of the two clans, we won’t touch them either. Although we seem to have the upper hand, the undertow is strong, and blindly expanding numbers could just backfire."
The Dragon Emperor and Ghost Lord had already deliberated on how to handle this.
After checking on the Blood Martial Hall and Heaven Punishment Alliance members’ cultivation progress, Chen Nan entered the main hall and found the Demon Path Supreme to report about the immortal monk.
"Top Supreme. This Outer Domain battlefield is rather lively," the Demon Path Supreme responded to Chen Nan’s report with a faint smile, seemingly unsurprised.
"Senior Demon Lord, with this top Supreme appearing, and us having left the outer domain passage to the Mortal World, won’t there be any issues?" Chen Nan pondered aloud.
"I’ve set up a maze at the passage. The previously loose world barriers have been repaired as the power of the world origin reversed and hundreds from the Heaven Punishment Alliance grow stronger. Outer realm practitioners would face significant difficulty crossing, inevitably alerting us."
"Alright, Chen Nan, you may leave. Have the Haotian Tower come back; I have something to discuss with it," instructed the Demon Path Supreme, seemingly recalling something.
Watching Chen Nan depart, a faint, serene smile glinted in his eyes.
