Chapter 2000: Chapter 2086: The Talisman Emperor Appears
Chen Nan’s expression changed drastically. He knew very well just how strong the Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor was. Although he was only at the Supreme Seventh Layer Heaven right now, he could absolutely challenge across realms.
Even a super Supreme of the Supreme Eighth Layer Heaven, in a one-on-one situation, could not gain the upper hand. For him to be wounded this severely, there was only one possibility—that a Supreme King had taken action.
A Heavenly People Clan Supreme King.
The Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor saw Chen Nan staring at him with wide eyes and shouted in a raised voice, "Hurry and go, the Rune Emperor is here, we are not his match."
Just as his words fell, a figure appeared in the tomb passage in an instant.
The aura of a Supreme King made one feel as if it was hard to breathe.
The newcomer was precisely the Rune Emperor. Those two super Supremes had been suppressed by the Haotian Tower, their bones shattered, their bodies bleeding all over. The Rune Emperor, however, was neither anxious nor impatient, calmly watching Chen Nan.
"Chen Nan, it’s been a while. I truly did miss you. In such a short time you managed to advance to the Supreme Second Layer Heaven; you haven’t let me down." The Rune Emperor spoke with a faint smile.
"Rune Emperor, I didn’t expect that a dignified Supreme King like you would actually covet this Top Supreme Tomb. It’s just that you, someone who became famous back in the Ancient Times, making a move against a junior—aren’t you a bit too much of a bully?"
Chen Nan placed a Five Infant Immortal Pill into the hand of the Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor, his gaze blazing as he looked at the Rune Emperor, without the slightest hint of fear.
Ye Yiyi and Su Qingqing also gripped Chen Nan’s hands tightly, ready to fight at any moment.
Right at this moment, light flickered over the Haotian Tower. Right in front of the Rune Emperor, it crushed those two super Supremes into a puddle of blood on the spot.
A beam of light flashed atop the Haotian Tower, and the cultivation of those two super Supremes was completely absorbed into the tower.
The Spiritual Energy within the Haotian Tower instantly became several times more abundant than before.
"Rune Emperor, you don’t dare answer Chen Nan’s words—is your conscience guilty? You Heavenly People don’t care if your own kind or your subordinates live or die, and you have no shame whatsoever. You rely on having lived a few thousand years longer to bully the young with the old—truly shameless... shameless to the extreme."
"Exactly, shameless to the extreme! A hundred times more shameless than Grandpa Chicken."
The Black Feathered Chicken had hidden inside the Haotian Tower during the previous great battle. At this moment, a chicken head popped out, shouting to cheer them on.
Anyone who spoke like this in front of the Rune Emperor was courting death, yet this sovereign merely chuckled and did not get angry.
"Chen Nan, do you know the origins of us Three Emperors?" The Rune Emperor smiled. "The story is a bit complicated, but I can tell you this: among the Three Emperors, the Feather Emperor and the Heaven Evil Emperor are called ’Emperors’ because of their strength, but they actually have nothing to do with the Heavenly Human Royal Family. I, however, do belong to the royal family. Yet as early as ten thousand years ago, I already lived only for myself and never cared about anyone’s opinion."
"My status is that of a prince, yet I grew up in a brothel, hehe. In this world, I’ve experienced every kind of humiliation there is, so being a bit shameless is really nothing. Bullying the young with the old—so long as I can kill you, I don’t care."
The Rune Emperor stood there like a towering mountain, deep and immovable.
Chen Nan had not the slightest intention of running. Hearing the Rune Emperor’s words, however, his heart gave a sudden lurch as he cursed inwardly that things were bad.
"Little Tower, looks like we’re about to be on our knees today!" Chen Nan rolled his eyes inwardly, communicating with the Haotian Tower’s Divine Soul.
Even though the Haotian Tower had reached the strength of a Supreme King, it was obvious that the strength of the Three Emperors still surpassed that of the Five Great Kings. The Little Tower was not the Rune Emperor’s match.
"Chen Nan, as Little Tower’s master, how can you not have some lofty ambition? At least set a goal first, like killing a Supreme King to start with." The Haotian Tower had absorbed the cultivation of two super Supremes and felt incomparably comfortable all over.
"Ambition my ass. I just used the Chaotic Nine Forms to forcibly kill the Fate-weighing Guest; right now every meridian in my body hurts like hell. The cultivation devoured by the Blood Dragon shadow in the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear can’t be directly absorbed either. Even if I fight now, I can’t unleash my Peak Strength." Chen Nan’s forehead was full of black lines. Ever since this thing recovered fifty percent of its strength, the Haotian Tower had gotten more and more arrogant.
Last time, when the Undying Monk appeared, it actually scared the guy away by sheer presence.
Thinking of this, Chen Nan suddenly shuddered. Damn, how could he almost forget something so important—this Haotian Tower had once given him the Three-faced God Puppet.
"Hehe, I almost forgot." Chen Nan moved his mind, feeling extremely awkward.
"Chen Nan, don’t tell me you’re planning to use the Three-faced God Puppet that Lord Little Tower gave you?" The Little Tower’s voice sounded very strange.
"Isn’t that what you meant?" Chen Nan was puzzled. Could he have misunderstood?
The Haotian Tower chuckled. "There are plenty of good things in Little Tower’s secret treasure vault. The Rune Emperor is nothing. Don’t use the Three-faced God Puppet yet. You go first, I’ll handle one on my own."
After the Haotian Tower finished communicating with Chen Nan’s Divine Soul, it smiled at the Rune Emperor and said, "You’ve only lived ten thousand years and you’re already this arrogant. If you lived a hundred thousand years you’d probably try to ascend to the heavens. Chen Nan, you take Nine Netherworld in first; leave this place to me."
As the Haotian Tower spoke, the runes Chen Nan had seen last time appeared again on its surface, erupting with the kind of aura that only a Supreme King possessed.
The Rune Emperor let out a cold laugh, and a surge of aura likewise burst forth from his body.
The two auras churned wildly through the tomb passage. Even before they touched, the atmosphere of a great battle was already in the air.
Chen Nan’s legs nearly gave way; he almost got forced to his knees by their overwhelming pressure.
He circulated his Chaotic Power, and the pressure on his body immediately eased off.
Seeing the Haotian Tower being so formidable, Chen Nan directly grabbed the Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor and the two women and charged deeper into the tomb passage.
The Power of World Origin within Chen Nan’s body began to circulate once more as he prepared to open that tomb door.
Those runes were ignited one by one. In the span of just over ten breaths, more than half of them had lit up, and this Stone Gate was about to be opened.
Just then, a terrifying power suddenly descended upon the tomb passage, making the entire passage tremble.
In the next breath, the Haotian Tower appeared beside Chen Nan. "Damn it, this Rune Emperor’s strength is too freakish—far more monstrous than that Qi Heavenly King and the Witch Demon King. Lord Little Tower couldn’t even block a single strike from him."
The runes on the Haotian Tower had already gone dark. "Chen Nan, hurry and open this tomb door. I can feel a force behind it that might be able to restrain the Rune Emperor. Otherwise we’re all going to croak today."
Chen Nan fully unleashed the Power of World Origin, the runes on the door lighting up one after another, while the Haotian Tower grew increasingly anxious.
"Hurry, Lord Little Tower’s Heaven and Earth Net can only trap him for ten breaths."
"Chen Nan, you can’t escape. The mighty expert in this Top Supreme Tomb may come from your Four Extremes World, but what she hates most are people from the Four Extremes World. Once you step into the main burial chamber, her Residual Soul will definitely appear, and then you’ll have only one outcome—death."
The Rune Emperor’s tone was filled with chilling gloom.
