Chapter 2003: Chapter 2089: Supreme Ancient Legend
Seeing Man Wuji staring at him with a murderous aura, Chen Nan could not help but feel a shock in his heart.
The Haotian Tower immediately wanted to protect him, "Chen Nan, quickly enter the space inside my tower. This barbarian has a bad temper; he kills without blinking."
Just as the Haotian Tower finished speaking, a powerful divine skill had already fallen on the spot where Chen Nan had just been standing. Chen Nan used Two Realms Without Gap to barely dodge the strike, though he was still battered and dusty.
The injury of the Nine Nether Evil Emperor was aggravated significantly.
The power on the Haotian Tower circulated, intending to suppress Man Wuji, but the barbarian expert blocked it with a black bone, stopping the Haotian Tower.
He suddenly roared, exerted force, and surprisingly lifted the Haotian Tower slowly.
With a rotation of divine power in his hand, black light flickered on the black bone, and the Haotian Tower could not suppress him.
Man Wuji sneered coldly, "You are indeed a rare spiritual treasure, fiercely protective, and also very powerful. However, your power is limited to the early stage of the Supreme King, whereas I have already reached the middle-stage realm, capable of bursting out with late-stage power."
With one hand, he used the Ultimate Holy Weapon to fend off the Haotian Tower’s suppression, while divine power gathered in the other hand, attacking toward Chen Nan and his companions.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion.
Chen Nan, the Nine Nether Evil Emperor, Ye Yiyi, and Su Qingqing, despite combining their efforts to fend off Man Wuji’s attack, were still blown away.
The power of the Supreme King was too strong; even four super top supremes were far from being his match.
"Puff!"
Chen Nan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face extremely pale.
A gleam of light flashed in Ye Yiyi’s eyes, "Senior brother, let’s perform Yin Yang Fusion and fight to the end with him."
She instinctively grabbed Chen Nan’s hand, intending to perform the Nine Yin Divine Claw with him, and engage in battle with Man Wuji.
Chen Nan shook his head, "Yiyi, even with Yin Yang Fusion, we are no match for him. Beneath the King, all are ants."
Chen Nan smiled bitterly, "Moreover, aside from him, Bai Yue’er also wants to kill us. In fact, dying together with you two is a blessing."
Su Qingqing’s nose wrinkled slightly, "Fool, don’t talk nonsense. None of us will die, Elder Demon Lord and they will come to save us."
Ye Yiyi smiled faintly and intertwined her fingers with Chen Nan’s.
"Haha, at least you have the self-awareness to know I won’t spare you."
A residual soul appeared in the tomb chamber, looming mysteriously. It was a woman of breathtaking beauty in white attire, identical to the woman lying on the ten-thousand-year-old Xuan Crystal Bed.
"Though, before I die, there’s something I’m very curious about. If I knew it, even in death, there’d be no regret." Chen Nan spat out another mouthful of blood.
Though he had defended together with the other three, he was at the forefront, receiving most of Man Wuji’s attacks. He was the most severely injured.
Seeing his dying appearance, Man Wuji refrained from attacking further, watching him quietly, with a trace of admiration in his gaze.
"Since the battle between the Human Clan and the Heavenly People Clan from the Ancient Times until now, countless have perished. If the Ancient Seven Strong even turned into Divine Statues to resist the Heavenly People Clan, I am curious, since you, elder, hail from the Four Extremes World, why not lend us a hand, instead of pursuing us to the bitter end? We do indeed seek your power, but our intentions are not solely for power."
Bai Yue’er’s eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Oh? You wish to know, I might as well tell you. In the Primordial Times, that world owed me much. Though my husband and I swore a lifelong commitment in private, we were deeply in love. Yet, his family forbade our union. My husband led me to the Outer Domain and pleaded guilty to those family experts. However, coincidentally, Gods and Demons invaded, and those despicable people sent him to the God Demon Battlefield in the name of atonement, leading to his death in battle, his soul scattered."
Chen Nan’s pupils rolled, memories of the past resurfaced in his mind, "I once ventured to an Ancient God Demon Battlefield, was the great battle you mentioned that one?"
"Indeed, in the Primordial Times, there were multiple battlefields. My husband was the strongest of his era. Had it not been for his family obligations and his will to protect the world, how would he have fallen in battle? With his power, given a few hundred years, the Nine Heavens World would have been his to soar through."
"What, Ancestor Bai Ze was so powerful!" Chen Nan was dumbfounded.
This Ancestor Bai Ze hailed from the Primordial Times, an era far older than the Supreme Heavenly Emperor of Ancient Times.
The fall of such a mighty figure is indeed a great regret.
"When I returned from the Outer Domain, the Gods and Demons had been blocked, yet my husband had fallen on the battlefield. If not for the severe casualties suffered by his family, I would have made them pay with blood. For ten thousand years, I roamed the Outer Domain, hating this world and its people. Yet you dare to seek your own demise."
Bai Yue’er let out an eerie cold laugh, making Chen Nan and his companions’ scalps tingle. This top supreme power was too strong, even a wisp of residual soul made them tremble internally.
Bai Yue’er’s body landed not far from Chen Nan, "Boy, tell me, is the life of one person more important, or the lives of ten thousand, a million more important?"
Chen Nan smiled miserably, "To them, I am more important than millions. To me, they are more important than millions."
Chen Nan looked at Ye Yiyi and Su Qingqing.
Bai Yue’er smiled, "You are right. To me, even the whole of the Four Extremes World is not worth one of him."
The next moment, she condensed a divine power in her residual soul hand, "Your answer pleases me. I will give you a chance, a chance to save someone. Choose a person, I will let them go."
Chen Nan grinned, "Senior Nine Nether, you leave here first."
Upon hearing Chen Nan’s words, the Nine Nether Evil Emperor’s face changed, "Chen Nan, am I, your father, such a coward? If you don’t leave, I won’t either."
Chen Nan smiled, looking at Bai Yue’er without speaking.
Bai Yue’er curiously asked, "Don’t you love them? Why not let them leave?"
"Elder, you once loved too. Do you think, under such circumstances, your beloved would leave you?" Chen Nan looked at Bai Yue’er, showing no loss of momentum despite her terrifying power.
"You are a slippery-tongued kid, thinking this will spare you today. Enough talk, now I’ll send you to death."
Bai Yue’er spoke, instantly gathering killing aura in the tomb chamber, as if ready to shatter Chen Nan and his companions in the next moment.
"Elder, before my death, I wish to be bold and do one thing." Chen Nan, with blood staining his chest, stood up.
He walked toward the ten-thousand-year-old Xuan Crystal Bed.
Seeing this, Man Wuji’s gaze was filled with killing intent, "What are you trying to do, seeking death!"
In his hand, a murderous divine skill was about to be released, but Bai Yue’er stopped him.
"Wait!"
The next moment, Chen Nan held a ring.
The ring looked ancient and worn, with the character ’Bai’ carved on it.
