Chapter 1997: Chapter 2083: Clash
In the boundless void where countless nebulas converge.
The Nine Nether Evil Emperor carried Chen Nan, Ye Yiyi, and Su Qingqing, traveling such a cosmos.
The last time, by chance, he stumbled upon the vicinity of a top supreme tomb.
This time, after several hours of flight, they soon caught sight from a distance of a tomb in the void resembling a floating isle.
Around the tomb, death energy was thick, along with heavenly wind and earth fire, far more intense than when Chen Nan and the others encountered it in the Death Star Domain.
However, given their current strength, passing through was no arduous task.
Chen Nan wielded Two Realms Without Gap, while Ye Yiyi and Su Qingqing each demonstrated their divine skills, following closely behind the Nine Nether Evil Emperor and swiftly traversing the region concentrated with heavenly wind and earth fire.
This top supreme tomb surpassed the vastness of the Dragon Emperor’s Giant Mountain Tomb, seemingly an isle from afar, but upon landing, it gave an impression of boundlessness.
"Chen Nan, this time our purpose is to acquire the cultivation left in the body of this top supreme posthumously. Although it’s only a part, it is unquestionably the purest cultivation we can procure as of now. Thus, avoid unnecessary trouble—the other heavy treasures within this tomb are irrelevant to us." The Nine Nether Evil Emperor stated his objective clearly while briefing Chen Nan.
Possessing a unique Hidden Dragon Body of the Supreme Realm, his cultivation speed was terrifyingly rapid, and over this period, he had ascended from the Supreme Seventh Layer Heaven to the Supreme Seventh Layer Heaven Peak, just a step away from advancing to the ranks of Super Supreme.
With his prowess, if not vastly outmatched, the likelihood of a breakthrough in battle was substantial.
"Brother, I understand this reasoning; my sole concern is saving my master, I care not about other treasures." Chen Nan nodded solemnly.
The Ancient Seven Strong, Uncle Master, Kuang Yu, Liu Zhong, they awaited his rescue; compared to humans, other foreign objects paled in significance.
"Alright, then let’s proceed."
The Nine Nether Evil Emperor turned, wielded the Rune Chain, aiming to enter through an opening above the tomb.
The runes upon this entrance passage had been damaged—it seemed the Heavenly People Clan had once entered, yet the robust tomb remained, signifying their failure to secure the target.
At this moment, suddenly, hundreds of figures emerged from the distant void, all adorned in battle armor shimmering with golden light, each individual a supreme expert, their skill levels varied.
Though numbering over a hundred, they collectively exuded the aura and presence of a single formidable figure, a mighty one.
Such an unattainable aura, upon entry into the heavenly wind and earth fire region, instantly repelled it all.
The Nine Nether Evil Emperor glanced over, his expression subtly shifting: "So powerful!"
Excitement mingled with tension in Chen Nan’s heart—such war formations he had once read about in ancient texts, which had since fallen into obscurity.
On the ancient battlefield, formations existed for ten warriors, hundreds, even thousands and tens of thousands, these war formations were remarkable.
Capable of amplifying individual power from several times to hundreds-fold.
"Though I relish this, such warfare—I have long yearned to experience it since ancient times, unexpectedly encountering it today. Chen Nan, you three get inside, I’ll test their power, see if it’s all bravado."
With those words, the Nine Nether Evil Emperor charged forth before Chen Nan could agree, his imposing aura underlined by refined elegance, suspended in the void as he began his assault.
Terrifying clashes ensued, unfolding between the Nine Nether Evil Emperor and this hundred-strong supreme contingent.
"Chen Nan, this top supreme tomb is desired by the Rune Emperor; your chance to seize it is nonexistent." From the void, a petite figure appeared, no taller than a twelve-year-old child gripping a bell in hand.
"The Rune Emperor seeks to test our strength?" Chen Nan chuckled, "I have long heard that the Rune Emperor possesses three hundred loyal guards, the lowest cultivation is half-step supreme, once clad in Hu Ben Battle Armor, their power greatly surges, the weakest is of the supreme realm."
"Haha, what do you mean?" The little girl smiled sweetly, her face exuding cuteness.
"Go ask your Rune Emperor if he has surplus battle armor, send me a few hundred sets, I’ll accept them all; in future if the Four Extremes World triumphs, I will spare him a dog’s life."
While laughing, divine power activated within Chen Nan, ever prepared to strike.
"How dare you insult my adoptive father, seeking death!"
The girl’s face was smiling in one instant, shifting to coldness in the next, eyes aflame with fury as she charged at Chen Nan.
"Adoptive father, or sugar daddy? Such fervor—little child should return home for milk." Chen Nan laughed heartily, advancing directly—although the girl’s realm was at the Supreme Eighth Layer Heaven, she was a super supreme.
Yet, only at the super supreme early stage, weaker than the Moonlight Holy Lord’s power, otherwise, Chen Nan wouldn’t dare act so recklessly.
Hearing Chen Nan’s words, the girl, unsure of their meaning, but certain they weren’t kind, burned with even higher rage.
"A palm-sized bell dares to engage my Golden Phoenix Winged Spear directly?" Observing this girl’s bell aiming at him, Chen Nan infused his divine power into the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear.
"Boom!"
The Golden Phoenix Winged Spear and the black bell collided with a tremendous crash, leaving both Chen Nan and the girl with ringing ears.
Chen Nan chuckled, realizing, with continued effort, he would ultimately prevail.
Yet, during his moment of pride, abruptly, a sound emanated from within the bell.
That sound resonated like an ancient summons, inherently captivating, irresistibly alluring.
Chen Nan momentarily dazed, a Green Coin flew out from the bell, heading straight towards his brow.
"Ice Seal the World!"
Ye Yiyi was ever ready to strike, freezing the Green Coin solid when it was just an inch from Chen Nan.
The insect nestled like an amber specimen within a clump of ice, vivid yet immobilized.
"Haha, my Soul-locking Bell can compromise the supreme divine soul weaker than me for ten breaths—I’d like to see how many Green Coins you can freeze." The girl seemed prepared.
Jiggling the bell, an endless swarm of Green Coins emerged, doggedly aiming at Chen Nan’s brow.
"Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Demon Suppression Slash!" Witnessing this, Su Qingqing promptly summoned the White Jade Lotus Platform.
The White Jade Lotus Platform lashed out, in an instant, the frozen Green Coins dissolved into nothingness, while surviving ones evaded the White Jade Lotus Platform, assaulting Chen Nan’s brow from multiple directions.
"My Soul-locking Bell holds Mother and Child Green Coins; should any enter Chen Nan’s Sea of Consciousness, their connection allows me to turn him into my puppet!" Seeing Ye Yiyi and Su Qingqing desperately defending, the girl laughed boastfully.
