Chapter 1732 - 1818: Nine Netherworld Makes a Move
Chen Nan’s entire body radiated with brilliance; his Immortal Essence Power was pushed to the extreme to resist this terrifying attack.
Suddenly, a voice came from the void, "Under my watchful eyes, you want to kill Chen Nan? How laughably naive. First, taste my palm strike."
As the voice arrived, a massive handprint appeared out of thin air between Chen Nan and the Double-headed Sky Demon, striking towards the Double-headed Sky Demon.
This is Supreme Power!
The Double-headed Sky Demon’s face changed drastically upon seeing the handprint. His expression shifted dramatically as if recalling some figure from Ancient Times, yet his memory had not fully returned; he couldn’t remember the name of that figure at all.
But he clearly felt the terrifying aura emanating from the handprint, undeniably formidable.
The Ancient Soul instantly unleashed a powerful Divine Skill, attacking the handprint.
"Boom..."
With a collision sound, Chen Nan felt his body being blasted away by a terrifying force.
He raised his eyes and saw that the Double-headed Sky Demon was not only blasted away but that the terrifying force mixed within the handprint was now entangling its body.
Its residual power still attacked the Double-headed Sky Demon, with blood continuously gushing from the demon’s mouth as if it were free, creating a tragic scene.
"How... how can this be?"
The Double-headed Sky Demon became incredibly weak, looking at Chen Nan in disbelief; he had calculated everything but never expected that a Supreme Expert would intervene at a critical moment on the Ancient God Demon Battlefield.
Chen Nan, observing the Double-headed Sky Demon’s expression as if it had eaten dirt, laughed heartily, "Your schemes are indeed clever, but luck is lacking. In front of a Supreme Expert, your current attack is truly laughable."
When Chen Nan previously saw the Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor helping him resist the Demon Clan Supreme’s attack, he wasn’t too shocked. But now, witnessing this handprint’s attack, he couldn’t help but be deeply astonished.
Supreme Power was indeed unimaginable to him.
A few breaths later, as the Supreme Power dissipated, the Double-headed Sky Demon was severely injured, the residual soul incredibly weak, ready to escape. The Heavenly Gate Ancestor launched an attack from the shadows, directly targeting its Niwan Palace.
"Ah! Heavenly Gate old thief, I will never let you go!"
Struck by the Divine Sense attack, the residual soul hurriedly deflected, yet it was exceedingly weak at present, incapable of being a match.
Seeing an opportunity, Chen Nan unleashed a strand of Geng Metal Energy to aid in attacking alongside the Heavenly Gate Ancestor.
After just a few rounds, the residual soul’s power weakened dramatically, directly burrowing into the depths of the Niwan Palace to hide.
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor wanted to press on, but Chen Nan stopped him because he sensed a familiar aura emanating from the Double-headed Sky Demon, the aura of the Little Sky Demon God Soul, something he would never mistake after so much contact.
"Old demon, is that you?"
Chen Nan’s voice trembled with excitement; regardless of what the Little Sky Demon’s body had done, he believed that the soul of the Little Sky Demon remained exactly like when he first met it in the Abyss Prison.
"Chen... Chen Nan..."
The soul of the Little Sky Demon had just seized control, sounding somewhat different from before, reflecting on many things after losing control of its body, feeling deeply guilty for Chen Nan’s risks taken.
Seeing Chen Nan unharmed, the Little Sky Demon’s heart filled with excitement as well.
"Chen Nan, I’ve been too impulsive; otherwise, I wouldn’t have given the Ancient Soul any opportunity."
Recalling past events, the Little Sky Demon realized that after becoming demonic, if he had only listened to Chen Nan, the subsequent events wouldn’t have occurred. Instead, he went on a rampage, allowing the Ancient Soul to seize control of his body.
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor laughed, "This Double-headed Sky Demon body is unique under heaven; the Ancient Soul clearly had designs on you long ago. Previously, your descent into demonic behavior was certainly influenced subtly by it. Fortunately, you’ve recovered and did not let Chen Nan’s efforts go in vain."
Although he lost control of his body, the Little Sky Demon was fully aware of external happenings, nodding quickly upon hearing the Heavenly Gate Ancestor’s words, "Old Ancestor, Lord Demon... No, I will never forget the life-saving grace of seniors."
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor waved his hand dismissively, "It’s nothing more than drawing a sword to help when seeing injustice."
Chen Nan’s face grew complex; pondering the schemes, when the Ancient Soul in the Demon Abyss entered the Little Sky Demon’s body, something now felt odd when thinking back.
He recalled the sealing of the God and Demon Tower when the Ghost Sovereign asked him and the Little Sky Demon to obtain the God-beating Stone and Demon Extinguishing Stone respectively.
At the time, this arrangement seemed fine, but now in retrospect, it felt almost too coincidental.
The Little Sky Demon held no advantage; even if the Ghost Sovereign sent Sky Dragon King instead, it would be more fitting. The Ghost Sovereign, as a Supreme Expert, may not know all, but he should foresee many things.
In the Magic Realm, his territory, during the major event involving the sealing of the God and Demon Tower, he would certainly send a Divine Thought to observe secretly, letting an Ancient Soul exploit a loophole felt abnormal.
"Were the Little Sky Demon and I schemed against by the Ghost Sovereign? But why would he do so, as the Ancient Soul occupying the Little Sky Demon’s body seemingly has no benefit for him!"
Such thoughts momentarily dismissed the absurd notion, yet another idea surfaced — the augmentation of the Little Sky Demon’s power, obtaining two heads, was spearheaded by the Ghost Sovereign.
If the Ghost Sovereign aimed to aid the Martial World by forming the Demon Suppression Array, it would be understandable, but for a Supreme Expert to forcefully bolster an Outer Heaven Demon, it now seemed peculiar.
"Chen Nan, what are you thinking?"
His thoughts drifted as he sorted through countless threads in his mind, suddenly interrupted by the Little Sky Demon’s voice, startling Chen Nan back to his senses.
"Nothing."
Chen Nan shook his head, turning his gaze to the Heavenly Gate Ancestor, "Senior, it seems that the residual soul is only injured and concealed. How do we eliminate it completely next?"
The Heavenly Gate Ancestor shook his head, "This Ancient Soul is far more terrifying than old man anticipated. Resolving it would require acquiring the Ancient God Avatar’s sword embryo, refining the Geng Metal Sword Formation to trap it in the Sea of Consciousness. Alternatively, if the Supreme Expert who saved you earlier is willing to help, it should be possible to kill it outright."
The person who acted earlier hadn’t shown themselves, but Chen Nan was certain it was the Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor.
