Chapter 1764 - 1850: A Deal with the Residual Soul
The Ape Ancestor and Black Forest’s realm is at the Devil God Ninth Layer, and the Invincible Strong People’s realm is considered among the top. It’s estimated that finding some opportunity to break through to the Half-step Supreme Realm wouldn’t be difficult.
"Master’s Chaos Sacred Body has grown much stronger. Cultivating any cultivation technique and divine skills yields twice the result with half the effort. The only reason Black Forest and I improved was finding an ancient combined attack divine skill inside the Ancient God Avatar’s storage ring. If we’re apart, our boosted strength declines." Ape Ancestor glanced at Chen Nan, surprised by his rapid improvement.
Chen Nan was somewhat surprised: "This ancient divine skill is indeed peculiar. When you stand together, both of your strengths can increase. It’s more convenient than my junior sister’s combined attack technique."
The two Devil Gods’ strength has reached this realm now. Encountering the Demon Clan Supreme, they should possess enough strength to survive if they join forces.
Chen Nan turned his gaze toward Little Heavenly Demon.
Little Heavenly Demon’s realm hasn’t significantly changed, but this guy is an anomaly; he carries the Ancient Demon Soul within him. Until the means to completely eliminate the Ancient Demon Soul is found, Chen Nan doesn’t wish for his realm to advance too quickly.
"Old Demon, have you been feeling frustrated lately?"
Chen Nan sauntered over to Little Heavenly Demon with a smile, knowing it was indeed inconvenient for Little Heavenly Demon’s strength to grow too fast; it needed to be more grounded, but always holding him back wasn’t good either.
"Strangely enough, my power hasn’t changed much lately." Little Heavenly Demon appeared quite dissatisfied too.
Chen Nan shook his head: "Breaking through to the Invincible Realm in the Ancient God Demon Battlefield was no easy feat. Being a Heavenly Demon Body, having a slower realm progression is beneficial. Also, once we rescue my junior sister and others, whether seeking the Ghost Lord or venturing into the Outer Domain, my first priority is finding a way to cleanse the Ancient Soul within you."
Little Heavenly Demon stepped to Chen Nan’s side: "Just an Ancient Soul, is Demon Grandpa afraid? Demon Grandpa now only desires one thing: enhancing my strength. If not transitioning to Half-step Supreme Realm, at least I want to reach the peak of Invincible Realm like Ape Ancestor and the others."
He extended his hand: "Chen Nan, Demon Master knows you have Three Infant Immortal Pills in your storage ring. Hand me a few quickly—I sense an impending breakthrough. You all have made breakthroughs; if I continue dragging behind, it’s too frustrating."
Chen Nan hurriedly shook his head: "Indeed, Three Infant Immortal Pills greatly aid in increasing your strength, but these pills are refined from spiritual objects. During your absorption of these energies, the Ancient Soul absorbs them too. Before dealing with it, I’d rather you don’t risk losing yourself again."
Little Heavenly Demon licked his lips, his big eyes gleaming with brilliance: "I can suppress the Ancient Soul; just bring out the Three Infant Immortal Pills."
Chen Nan shook his head, growing increasingly worried about Little Heavenly Demon’s statement having his fears realized. Under no circumstances would he hand over the Three Infant Immortal Pills, given their ability to boost realms quickly yet inducing Heart Demons. Should Little Heavenly Demon become lost frequently, he might ultimately remain trapped forever.
Seeing Chen Nan shaking his head, Little Heavenly Demon said no more.
At the next moment, a voice echoed in his mind: "Little Heavenly Demon, you see how your former partner fears your increased power. Amidst the Void battle, your dominance suppressed his. He’s a selfish little man, merely wanting his fame to spread throughout the Martial World; to him, you’re merely a tool."
It was the voice of the Ancient Soul, yet Little Heavenly Demon reacted neither shocked nor out of control. Despite appearances of silence, he communicated with intention.
"Ancient old coot, what quick methods do you know to boost strength?"
Little Heavenly Demon’s voice was wanton and carefree, reclaiming his audacious spirit from before.
"Of course, I know. Although I am a residual soul and my memory flawed, the ways of acquiring ancient divine power remain crystal clear. Have you finally decided to collaborate with me—you are me, and I am you, we’re one." The Ancient Soul’s raspy voice echoed in Little Heavenly Demon’s mind.
Little Heavenly Demon laughed coldly: "Old coot, spare me your trickery. Convey it directly: using my current power, what quick methods could enhance my strength to face the Demon Clan Supreme? If you continue babbling, keep muttering to yourself then."
Upon those words, the Ancient Soul instantly became anxious: "Certainly, methods abound. You wield the Chaos Stone, a heaven-defying weapon; facing Demon Clan Supreme or those from Ancient Powers—their defense isn’t much against you. Thus, elevating your power solely requires boosting defense. Once your defense withstands the Demon Clan Supreme, you can engage freely."
"That simple?"
Little Heavenly Demon detested the Ancient Soul tremendously. Without its ceaseless chatter, his power wouldn’t have been sluggish for these few days.
"Certainly, though your Heavenly Demon Body does inherently possess tough defense that could resist Demon Clan Supreme. Currently, only one method exists—a forbidden ancient technique—the Heavenly Demon God Transformation Technique."
Mentioning this forbidden technique stirred the Ancient Soul’s voice into a mild tremor: "This forbidden technique, activated by ordinary cultivators, enhances defensive power tenfold. However, running the qi movement depletes spirit extensively, possibly entering a dying state, verging on nine deaths."
"Never in the Ancient Era did Heavenly Demon Clan invoke this forbidden technique, yet legends spoke of its specific design for Heavenly Demons. Activating this technique could bring divine prowess, raising defense severalfold."
The Ancient Soul clinked his teeth critically, finally speaking: "Possessing a Heavenly Demon Body alongside the Haotian Tower would safeguard you from death. Moreover, I wouldn’t intentionally trap you fatally since you are me, I am you; should you perish, what advantage holds for me?"
Little Heavenly Demon was indifferent to his words, "Old coot, don’t think I don’t understand your hidden agenda. Should Demon Master activate this forbidden technique, arriving at a point of nine lives precariousness, you’d seize this weakness and occupy my body entirely. You’ve fantasized well. Also, don’t assume Chen Nan and others are fools. Enough chitchat—show me that forbidden technique."
The Ancient Soul jolted: "Heavenly Demon Clan notoriously brutal and murderous, individuals like yourself brimming with intelligence are millennia rare indeed; evidently, choosing you was utterly correct. Having spoken openly, let’s proceed—the technique’s particulars I shall share promptly, enabling you to invoke it timely for an exhilarating encounter."
