Chapter 1729 - 1815: Suppression of the Residual Soul
Between the twin hands of the Double-headed Sky Demon, the power from the Supreme Sacred Weapon on those two big hammers is continuously being absorbed by him.
Although the Supreme Sacred Weapon is damaged, the power on it is not weak at all, and Chen Nan and the others, standing far away, can feel the Holy Weapon power contained within.
"This power is so strong. If he absorbs and refines all this power, his physical Realm could at least be elevated to the Late Stage of the Heavenly Monarch Ninth Layer, and his Divine Soul could become more compatible with his body. By then, even if I take action, it wouldn’t help."
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor gasped at the sight of the Double-headed Sky Demon absorbing the power and said.
The Double-headed Sky Demon sneered: "Besides being loquacious, it seems you have some merits. But you being with him means opposing me. I’ll send both of you to see King Yan now."
As the Double-headed Sky Demon spoke, a surge of Divine Power was directed at the Heavenly Gate Ancestor.
"You think that the old man’s power is just this little bit?" The Heavenly Gate Ancestor laughed heartily, and a surge of Divine Power shot out from his hand.
"Boom!"
A loud bang.
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor retreated several steps, and the body of the Double-headed Sky Demon shook as well. He barely steadied himself, but from the mouth of one of his heads, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and the hands absorbing the Holy Weapon power also stopped their actions.
Chen Nan was surprised at this sight, turning his gaze towards the Heavenly Gate Ancestor. Could it be that he had been mistaken earlier when he clearly witnessed the Heavenly Gate Ancestor being knocked flying, yet now...
"If it’s just a contest of Divine Power, you are not my match. Show your Divine Skills and special moves, where you are likely more advantageous. As for that Chaos Stone, if I were to wield a Divine Artifact, I could barely defend against it." The Heavenly Gate Ancestor chuckled.
Even if Chen Nan was foolish, by this moment he could sense what was going on.
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor had intentionally feigned weakness earlier. He wasn’t really scared of the Double-headed Sky Demon; after all, a Half-step Supreme wouldn’t yield that quickly. He avoided stirring up unnecessary trouble due to his unfamiliarity with the Residual Soul.
"Not bad, reaching this Realm, you haven’t disappointed me too much. Now, both of you attack together, you and him together!"
The Double-headed Sky Demon chuckled, gestured with his fingers, signaling to the Heavenly Gate Ancestor and Chen Nan.
Chen Nan looked at the Heavenly Gate Ancestor: "Senior, I didn’t expect you to hide so deeply. No wonder I felt your body recovered in an instant; the injuries were all just an act from you."
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor nodded. Seeing the Double-headed Sky Demon so confident, he felt a bit uneasy. He hadn’t used his ultimate Divine Skills, and it seemed the Sky Demon hadn’t either.
The final outcome was still uncertain.
"Sky Origin Invincible Great Handprint."
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor shouted, charging forward.
Even facing a Half-step Supreme, Chen Nan didn’t retreat. He too roared, holding the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear, and charged ahead.
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor’s great handprint slapped towards one of the heads of the Double-headed Sky Demon. Meanwhile, Chen Nan’s Golden Phoenix Winged Spear also attacked the other head in tandem.
"Haha, Chen Nan, do you think having the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear in your hand could harm me? Your strength is too weak. Even if I stand still, you can’t break through my defense."
The Double-headed Sky Demon laughed heartily, using one hand to block the Heavenly Gate Ancestor’s attack, while the other hand struck towards Chen Nan’s ribs.
Though Chen Nan’s strength was at its Peak State, he couldn’t withstand the Half-step Supreme’s attack, and was immediately knocked flying, suffering severe internal injuries to his organs.
"Pfft"
Chen Nan spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs.
If he were an ordinary human, he would have died countless times already. But for Immortal Domain Practitioners, although the injury was severe, it wouldn’t be immediately fatal.
"That old monster, to withstand the Heavenly Gate Ancestor’s attack just now, probably used less than a tenth of the power when attacking me."
Chen Nan internally noted, gaining a very profound understanding of the Double-headed Sky Demon’s power.
Seeing Chen Nan knocked flying, the Heavenly Gate Ancestor’s expression changed remarkably.
Even an Invincible Strong Person would be beaten half to death by such a palm strike. He was extremely worried about Chen Nan, unable to help but shout.
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor was originally battling fiercely with the Double-headed Sky Demon. As he shouted, he noticed that the Double-headed Sky Demon’s movements suddenly slowed for just a brief moment.
That was only an instant, but in the contest between such strong individuals, it proved decisive.
"Boom!"
The Double-headed Sky Demon was instantly sent flying by the Heavenly Gate Ancestor.
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor suddenly laughed aloud: "Haha, you all indeed said it right earlier. That Residual Soul hasn’t completely merged with this body yet. Your friend’s Divine Soul hasn’t disappeared, and there’s even a chance to regain control of the body."
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor inferred the entirety from a glimpse. Though it was just a brief moment, he quickly analyzed the critical point. That was definitely the awakened Divine Soul of the small Sky Demon playing its role.
Why the small Sky Demon would be awakened was likely because of Chen Nan.
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor laughed heartily: "Chen Nan, I’ve been wise my whole life but confused for a moment. How could I forget your deep affection for your Sky Demon brother? Your Sky Demon brother is equally affectionate. When he heard your name, the Double-headed Sky Demon’s movements slowed for a brief moment, allowing me to spot the flaw."
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor immediately understood the Double-headed Sky Demon’s Achilles’ heel and couldn’t help but feel elated. The odds were now significantly increased; not only did he forge ties with a monstrous genius like Chen Nan and gained a huge favor, but also obtained materials for refining Four Nascent Soul and No Infant Immortal Pills, which was truly a double success.
When meeting Chen Nan, seeing the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear, he had long known that he was the Heaven Punishment Alliance’s Alliance Hierarch Chen Nan. Their subsequent exchanges further confirmed each other’s identity, but being an experienced person, he didn’t disclose it.
"I see. I’ll call my name later; you seize the opportunity to attack his Niwan Palace. Once that Ancient Soul is extinguished, my brother can recover."
This time, Chen Nan not only saw hope but also had a degree of assurance. It appeared the gamble was indeed justified.
As they spoke, the Double-headed Sky Demon’s eyes flashed with anger, and his figure suddenly vanished from sight.
"Beware of sneak attacks!"
Chen Nan hurriedly shouted.
He, now, was unable to capture the trace of the Double-headed Sky Demon with his Divine Sense.
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor chuckled, grabbing Chen Nan, "Little fellow, don’t be afraid. He fled, let’s chase him."
As the Heavenly Gate Ancestor grabbed Chen Nan, with a wave of his large sleeve, he took the disciples forming the array and the two Great Demons along, pursuing in the direction the Double-headed Sky Demon had escaped.
