Dashing Student Chapter 1435: The Final Trump Card

Chen Nan fiercely battled, standing vigilant outside the humble dwelling. Yin Beasts perished one after another beneath the might of the Demon Suppressing Sword, though the exertion greatly taxed Chen Nan’s own strength.

Furthermore, each Yin Beast possessed unique formidable traits. One such creature, akin to a feline with three tails, unleashed a voluminous dark mist that engulfed Chen Nan completely.

Immersed within this shadowy shroud, as if all senses were utterly muted, the feline Yin Beast capitalized on its incredible speed, inflicting substantial wounds upon Chen Nan.

Another type of Yin Beast had the uncanny ability to camouflage itself within the very Yin Energy permeating the surroundings. Chen Nan found it impossible to discern its presence amidst the dense, all-encompassing Yin Energy.

The sheer diversity of Yin Beasts seemed unending, and Chen Nan was nearly at his absolute limit, sustained only by an unyielding will to persevere.

Concurrently, other members of the Demon Clan faced dire consequences, suffering extensive casualties with their numbers dwindling by more than half. The Flying Boat itself bore the brunt of the assault, appearing on the verge of disintegration at any moment.

Despite the dire situation, Ao Hao’s determination never wavered. Even when encircled by several Yin Beasts at the Demon King Level, he remained focused on piloting the Flying Boat onward.

At long last, a glimmer of hope materialized before their weary eyes.

A beacon of light appeared in the distance, standing out like a steadfast lighthouse against the suffocating darkness. Overwhelmed with relief, many of the Demon Clan members were moved to tears.

"We must hold on just a bit longer!"

Ao Hao’s roar echoed as he dispatched a Yin Beast with a mighty claw strike. He urged the remaining Demon Clan members onward, steering the Flying Boat resolutely towards the distant light, its path illuminated by the destruction of pursuing Yin Beasts.

The luminous spot grew ever larger as they approached, and finally, they surged into its embrace, breaching the oppressive confines of the black mist!

Before them loomed a colossal barrier, radiating a soft luminescence. Beyond this formidable barrier lay the vast, roiling expanse of the sea.

"Could this be the other side of the Heavenly Cutting Abyss? Is the Inner Sea situated beyond this barrier?" Chen Nan mused aloud, the answer seemingly self-evident.

They found themselves at the abyssal depths, akin to being submerged deep underwater. The barrier served to isolate the sea on the other side, which, to their observation, bore no discernible difference from the seabed encountered in the Outer Sea.

In the profound, mysterious depths of the seabed, not a single island or living creature could be detected.

"Make way!"

Ao Hao bellowed, his immense form hurtling towards the barrier, unleashing a torrent of Dragon Breath. The raw, untamed power distorted the very fabric of space around them.

Yet, upon impact with the barrier, the Dragon Breath produced not even a faint ripple. The previously jubilant hearts of the Demon Clan members plunged into the abyss of despair.

They had unequivocally reached the Inner Sea, with only this impassive barrier obstructing their path, and yet, they were utterly incapable of breaching it.

To falter so close to the finish line was the most crushing despair imaginable.

From the lingering black mist behind them, Yin Beasts emerged, their pursuit relentless. The Demon Clan members aboard the Flying Boat scrambled to fend them off, but it appeared they had reached an insurmountable impasse.

Ao Hao, reverting to his human form, landed upon the Flying Boat and let out a profound sigh as he gazed at the unyielding barrier. "It seems our fate is sealed; we are destined to perish here."

"Is there truly no other recourse?" Chen Nan’s voice was laced with intense unwillingness.

Divine Calculator observed the Inner Sea beyond the barrier, his expression growing grave.

Ao Hao remained silent, proceeding to transfer the substantial collection of Yin Qi Crystals to Chen Nan. He then approached the barrier, retrieving the final Feather of Luan Kong from his person.

This Feather possessed the extraordinary ability to rend space, and Ao Hao placed his ultimate hope upon it.

Chen Nan’s gaze fell upon the Yin Qi Crystals Ao Hao had entrusted to him, a sense of deep emotion stirring within. Even amidst the brutal onslaught, Ao Hao had honored his promise, a gesture that profoundly moved Chen Nan.

As the Feather was invoked, a colossal aura surged skyward. The space before them contorted violently, appearing on the cusp of tearing asunder.

However, the barrier stood resolute and immutable. Even as the Feather’s power dissipated completely, not a single alteration occurred.

A grim smile touched Ao Hao’s lips, his eyes clouded with despair. "To shatter this barrier might necessitate a power far exceeding the Nascent Soul Realm. But how could such a feat be remotely possible?"

Behind them, the Demon Clan members continued their desperate struggle, holding back the relentless tide of Yin Beasts. Upon learning that all hope was extinguished, some chose to charge headlong into the enemy ranks.

"The Demon Clan is immortal!"

A Great Demon roared, its Demon Core erupting spontaneously. A fiery mushroom cloud ascended, obliterating the surrounding Yin Beasts in its concussive blast!

The catastrophic spectacle sent shivers down the spines of all present. The elderly and infirm members of the Demon Clan, previously sheltered within the cabin, now rushed out, unwilling to meet a pathetic end at the jaws of the Yin Beasts.

Following their example, other Great Demons and Demon Kings opted for self-annihilation, a final act to preserve the honor and dignity of the Demon Clan.

Yuan Sensen, nestled against Chen Nan, took a deep breath of his scent. "Husband, though our marriage has lasted just over a month, should there be a next life, I will still choose to marry you."

Witnessing the woman in his embrace willing to perish together, Chen Nan could hold back no longer.

"Stop! I can lead you through the barrier!"

Chen Nan's declaration stunned all present, though none dared to believe it.

A Demon King scoffed, "Chen Nan, there's no need to comfort us now. To die together, you are one of us. Do not be a coward."

Ao Hao also sighed, "You are merely in the Golden Core Realm. Do not fret, I shall fall before you. Even in death, I will make these Yin Beasts pay!"

Chen Nan grew increasingly anxious, with only Divine Calculator darting towards him, exclaiming, "If you possess any hidden trump cards, now is the time to reveal them! Are you saving them for after your demise?"

Ever since their ordeal in the Great Swamp, Divine Calculator had grasped one truth: Chen Nan's resources seemed inexhaustible, and some of his aces were astonishingly potent.

Having been out of touch for a period, who could fathom what heaven-defying treasures Chen Nan might have acquired?

Chen Nan nodded, dispensing with further words and delving his consciousness into the Immortal Palace Space. Upon opening his eyes, a withered arm materialized in his grasp.

The arm appeared desiccated, devoid of any Spiritual Energy fluctuations, clearly just an ordinary limb.

"Is that it?" Divine Calculator's eyes widened. "Junior Brother, do not jest. I truly have no desire to die!"

"Trust me!"

Chen Nan patted Yuan Sensen in his arms, bestowed a kiss upon her forehead, and then ascended into the heavens, positioning himself above the Flying Boat. His blood energy surged wildly into the arm.

As the desiccated arm absorbed the torrent of blood energy, it gradually swelled, emanating a formidable aura, ancient and majestic, as if an Immortal or a Buddha had descended!

Ao Hao and the other members of the Demon Clan finally perceived that something was amiss, directing their astonished gazes toward the arm, their very spirits quaking.

"Could it truly be the arm of an 'Immortal'?"

"Merely its aura compels me to kneel!"

"Perhaps... he truly can shatter the barrier!"

Chen Nan paid no heed to the Demon Clan's murmurs. This arm had been obtained within the Secret Realm of Golden Sun Island. According to the remnant soul of Huang Boyang, the arm belonged to a "human hero."

From the fact that the body had been suppressed separately, it was evident that the arm's owner was a "rebel," one who, though not an Immortal or a god, dared to challenge Immortals and gods themselves!
