Chapter 1998: Chapter 2084: Breakthrough! Entering the Tomb!
The woman was smiling smugly when suddenly, Chen Nan stretched out his hand and a small golden-shelled insect fluttered its wings and burrowed into the Soul-locking Bell.
At the same moment, Chen Nan wielded the Two Realms Without Gap technique, and in the blink of an eye, he was beside the little girl, slashing toward her arm.
"Swoosh!"
Although the little girl was in the Super Supreme Realm, she was only at the Early Stage, and Chen Nan’s full force strike surprisingly succeeded in an instant.
She let out a muffled groan, as the delicate hand holding the Soul-locking Bell was severed by Chen Nan.
Chen Nan, with not a shred of pity, instantly engulfed her arm with a golden Divine Fire.
"What’s going on? My Soul-locking Bell can lock the Divine Souls of anyone whose Realm is lower than mine for at least ten breaths; how did you..." The little girl’s eyes flashed with an extremely puzzled expression.
Her arm, severed by Chen Nan, quickly regrew, but even though her Divine Power reached the Heaven, the newly grown arm could not return to its original state in a short time.
However, for the pain of her severed arm, she was evidently more curious about how Chen Nan escaped from her most relied-upon soul-locking attack.
"Do you really want to know?" Chen Nan smiled lightly, "Come over here, I’ll tell you."
The little girl really moved forward a bit, without a hint of fear towards Chen Nan on her face.
"Yiyi, freeze her!" Chen Nan sent a Divine Thought to Ye Yiyi.
In the next moment, an Ice-based Divine Power accurately landed on the little girl.
In the instant she was frozen, from between Chen Nan’s eyebrows came a golden light that captured her. The little girl, trapped in ice, didn’t even have time to struggle before she was directly miniaturized and taken into Chen Nan’s brow.
"Didn’t you want to enter through my brow? Well, have it your way," Chen Nan sneered coldly, yet a bead of sweat hung on his forehead.
Capturing a Seventh-layer Supreme within the Void Illusion Realm was already extremely difficult. Without Ye Yiyi’s help this time, it would’ve been impossible to capture this Eight-layer Super Supreme.
But, it was her misfortune that, although my junior sister’s Realm isn’t high, her strength is always about the same as mine.
The Void Illusion Realm had gained another powerful Supreme.
"You idiot, with the Void Illusion Realm Law World in your Sea of Consciousness capable of capturing even Super Supremes, if you capture a few more, won’t you be invincible?"
Su Qingqing said excitedly.
Chen Nan shook his head, "These people become my source of power, but there’s certainly some limitation. Even though I overcame the Heavenly Dao’s suppression during my breakthrough to Supreme, the Heavenly Dao is immensely powerful. Although we’re still restrained within the Heavenly Dao now, it seeks a certain balance. Just like that Void Ancient Dragon, possessing the Law but not invincible, was slain by us."
Chen Nan picked up the Soul-locking Bell and examined it. The Gold-eating Insect he released in a flash was still gnawing away inside the bell. The material of the Soul-locking Bell, being Xuan Tie Marrow, was being bitten off piece by piece.
Chen Nan could feel the Gold-eating Insect’s strength continuously rising with the devouring of Xuan Tie Marrow.
Just after Chen Nan finished speaking, suddenly his expression changed sharply.
"The Abyss Divine Tree is awake!"
He muttered to himself. This Abyss Divine Tree was something he had snatched from the master of the Abyss Prison; it was sealed by countless ancient powerhouses, essentially a bargain he picked up.
But even the Ghost Venerable and Dragon Emperor spoke of this Abyss Divine Tree with fear.
Chen Nan had seen the Abyss Divine Tree engage in an epic battle with the Witch Demon King, filling his heart with awe and respect for it.
This tree was incredibly powerful, able to use the genuine Outer Domain Void as its nourishment. The Witch Demon King, although the leader of the Five Great Kings, could only fight it to a standstill.
Furthermore, Chen Nan knew that the Divine Tree was far from fully grown.
Back then, when the Divine Tree and the Ancient Divine Worm left his Sea of Consciousness, he was relieved. Unexpectedly, when the Witch Demon King chased him, the Divine Tree reappeared and then entered the Void Illusion Realm in his Sea of Consciousness again.
"Previously, this Divine Tree was subdued because it feared something within my body. Later, coexisting with the Ancient Divine Worm, they offset each other peacefully. I wonder what it’s going to do upon waking this time..."
For ordinary folks with such a powerful entity on them, the thought would be how to acquire power, but Chen Nan still harbored a sliver of concern in his heart. Power too great, once lost control of, becomes disaster.
In the next moment, within the Void Illusion Realm World, the branches of that large tree began to grow, and underground, the tree roots extended thousands of miles away.
The Seventh-layer Supreme powerhouses within his Sea of Consciousness, as well as the just-captured Super Supreme, didn’t have time to react before being pulled underground by the tree roots.
"Damn it!"
Chen Nan couldn’t help but curse.
He seemed to realize what was about to happen.
Although he was extremely unwilling, he simply couldn’t resist.
Chen Nan watched helplessly as the two individuals in the Void Illusion Realm, who could feed his ’Divine Power Generators,’ were forcibly dragged underground by the Abyss Divine Tree and began to be frantically absorbed.
"Damn it, I put in so much effort, and you eat the meat, at least let me have some soup... you shameless scoundrel!"
Chen Nan was extremely frustrated, watching the Abyss Divine Tree absorb their Divine Power and even siphon off thousands of years of Cultivation.
The tree grew taller and taller, and Chen Nan felt utterly heartbroken. This mutated Void Illusion Realm Law Small World wasn’t supposed to become even more impressive? Now with the Abyss Divine Tree reigning inside, what is this supposed to mean?
Just as Chen Nan was cursing in rage, the next moment, he felt a surge of pure energy spilling from the Void Illusion Realm, instantly enhancing his Divine Sense significantly.
His Cultivation also increased substantially, feeling as if bathed in a spring breeze, an indescribable sensation of pleasure throughout his body.
Looking again within the Void Illusion Realm, aside from slightly growing larger, the Abyss Divine Tree had returned to its normal state.
"Haha, Yiyi, girl, the Abyss Divine Tree absorbed their power and even shared a portion with me... I feel like I’m about to break through." Chen Nan’s expression suddenly shifted.
"That’s what you’re excited about—that’s always been yours!"
Su Qingqing rolled her eyes, as she and Ye Yiyi each held Chen Nan’s hands, transmitting streams of Divine Power into Chen Nan’s hands to assist him in his promotion.
After a quarter of an hour, above the Top Supreme Tomb, an earth-shattering force erupted from Chen Nan, causing the void to tremble.
Countless runes flickered on the Top Supreme Tomb, and Spiritual Energy within hundreds of thousands of miles surged wildly into Chen Nan’s body.
At the exact moment of Chen Nan’s promotion, Divine Power surged through Su Qingqing and Ye Yiyi’s bodies, increasing their Cultivation significantly within just a few breaths.
"Let’s go, we’ll enter the tomb."
Chen Nan steadied his Realm and glanced at the Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor, battling fiercely with hundreds of Tiger Guards far away in the void, then flew into the tomb passage with Ye Yiyi and Su Qingqing.
