School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1785: 1871: Battle of the Heavenly Palace

The Black Forest Demon King witnessed his master's abrupt departure and attempted a swift intervention, but his efforts were too late. "Master, exercise caution! That Demon Essence Stone is exceptionally potent, difficult to subdue and control," he urgently alerted.

Chen Nan let out a hearty laugh. "Can a mere stone achieve sentience? Bah! Back in the day, I wielded the Demon Extinguishing Stone and the God-beating Stone as I pleased. Does this insignificant Demon Essence Stone dare defy the heavens?"

"Buzz..."

A muffled resonance echoed, and Chen Nan's jovial expression contorted instantly.

From the hand that grasped the Demon Essence Stone, a torrent of immense demonic energy surged into his arm, engulfing the limb up to his elbow in a dark, demonic aura.

"Damn it, this Demon Essence Stone is truly perverse! Why didn't you warn me sooner?"

Chen Nan was so enraged he spat out a mouthful of blood. Having just ascended to the Heavenly Monarch Realm, his intention was to impress his junior siblings, yet he had stumbled so profoundly.

The sensation from the Demon Essence Stone was akin to an octogenarian with missing teeth attempting to gnaw on peanuts. While technically possible, the process was fraught with difficulty and discomfort, even if forced down.

The Black Forest Demon King observed Chen Nan, a bewildered expression etched on his face. "Master, I did try to dissuade you... but your formidable strength..."

Chen Nan scoffed. In the very instant the overwhelming demonic energy coursed up his arm, he unleashed his Divine Power, stubbornly halting the terrifying influx at his elbow.

"Darn it, I must swiftly refine this demonic energy. Otherwise, my hand might mutate into a demonic claw, and my wives will recoil from me."

Chen Nan shuddered at the image of demonic beast claws, grimacing. After all, he was of the Human Clan and could not countenance such a transformation.

From below, the Black Forest Demon King declared, "Master, endure! Black Forest shall risk his life to protect you."

No sooner had the Black Forest Demon King spoken than Chen Nan sensed a malevolent wind stirring within the Coiling Dragon Heavenly Palace. Casting his gaze afar, he was aghast. "Damn it! Demon Clan Supreme, you ancient fiend, still lingering here?"

He found himself in a dire predicament, fully occupied with resisting the Demon Essence Stone's insidious encroachment, leaving him unable to divert his attention. The appearance of the Demon Clan Supreme thus startled him greatly.

"Hahaha, Chen Nan! You spurn the path to heaven, only to find hell's gates flung open. My supreme Divine Thought effortlessly surveys all on Panlong Star. Every move you make is known to me. I merely allowed events to unfold. Yet, you possessed the audacity to step forth. Now, experience the torment of the Demon Essence Stone?"

The Demon Clan Supreme sneered coldly at Chen Nan, his form radiating immense demonic might. "Those brats from the Heavenly People Clan, ensnared within your formation, were manipulated by my will to lure you here. Foolish of you to believe abandoning them would ensure your safety. Such delusion! The fate of the Heavenly People Clan holds no consequence for me. Enough posturing, surrender your head."

As the Demon Clan Supreme delivered his pronouncement, he launched an assault on Chen Nan, his massive hand descending with terrifying force.

"Chen Nan, I wish to see if you shall choose to embrace demonization today, or meet your demise by my hand!"

A cruel smirk played on the Demon Clan Supreme's lips.

The power contained within the Demon Essence Stone was staggeringly immense; its core might was beyond even a supreme realm expert's direct confrontation. Should Chen Nan cease his resistance, he would devolve into a grotesque anomaly, neither human nor demon.

"Old coot, you prattle incessantly. I could fell you with a mere fart. Ha! You presume to vanquish me with a single palm strike? Dream on, you fool! Do you think I am as frail as your father's brittle bones, susceptible to a slap that causes osteoporosis?"

Chen Nan bellowed his curses. He had not feared the Demon Clan Supreme even in his Immortal Domain realm; now, as a Heavenly Monarch, he feared nothing.

Activating his Fire Element Heavenly Skill, he prepared to launch a counter-attack. However, just as he was about to channel the Fire Element Heavenly Skill to manifest the Six Great Divine Fires, a violent surge of Demon Essence Power erupted from within the Demon Essence Stone, coursing uncontrollably into his arm.

His meridians were instantly overwhelmed, his Divine Power faltered, rendering him incapable of executing the Divine Fire Avatar. Consequently, he vomited blood, his countenance paling drastically.

Observing the Demon Clan Supreme's lethal strike approaching, a dark silhouette intervened, unleashing a formidable Divine Skill against the Demon Clan Supreme.

The Demon Clan Supreme chuckled malevolently. "You insignificant Tree Demon, dare to oppose me with such futile efforts?"

Demonic power surged forth, and instantaneously, a terrifying demonic aura struck the Black Forest Tree Demon from his arm.

"Boom!"

The Black Forest Demon King was struck, a gaping wound appearing on his form. His body tumbled through the void, drawing back towards the rear of the grand hall.

His boiling blood cascaded onto the emerald stone floors of the Coiling Dragon Heavenly Palace, creating a profoundly tragic spectacle.

“Damn it!” Chen Nan’s vision instantly turned a furious, blood-red hue.

The Demon Clan Supreme merely let out a cold sneer, refraining from spoken words. Recognizing that engaging Chen Nan in verbal exchanges was a futile effort, silence was deemed the superior tactic.

Previously, during an engagement, the Yin Yang clan’s encounter with the Haotian Tower had forced their abrupt departure. This resulted in the destruction of his clone. Although he had accumulated a significant amount of Demon Essence Power within the Coiling Dragon Heavenly Palace recently, his recovery had only reached nine-tenths of its full potential, falling short of his peak condition.

Now, amidst the chaos brewing within the Four Extremes World, Chen Nan represented far too many unpredictable variables. The most immediate course of action was to eliminate him.

With an enraged roar, the Demon Clan Supreme unleashed a potent Divine Skill directly at Chen Nan.

Chen Nan reacted with haste, invoking the Star Technique. At this particular juncture, his Divine Power was severely restricted, preventing him from utilizing Star Crossing. In this urgent situation, he was compelled to resort to the Crack Sky Hand.

“Boom!”

A deafening explosion erupted, causing the entirety of the Coiling Dragon Heavenly Palace to tremble violently.

The immense force propagated throughout the Heavenly Palace, extending for tens of miles. Menacing energy ripples formed, their impact reshaping the walls and floors as if they were unstable waves.

The Demon Clan Supreme rejoiced at the sight of Chen Nan’s bones contorting beneath his palm strike, his arm being forced inward, appearing as though it had been detached.

Even more satisfying was the continuous influx of Demon Essence Power from the Demon Essence Stone into Chen Nan’s body. To counter this, Chen Nan had expended a colossal amount of Divine Power, bringing him to the brink of exhaustion.

“However, I shall not grant you the opportunity to recover; you are surrounded by too many uncertainties,” the Demon Clan Supreme stated coldly, fixing his gaze upon Chen Nan as he prepared to deliver the final blow.

Chen Nan seemed completely bereft of strength, yet at this critical juncture, he unexpectedly perceived the frenzied surge of Demon Essence Power within him clashing violently with the long-dormant Power of World Origin coursing through his meridians.

This Power of World Origin had been acquired within the Ancient Temple, the profound legacy bestowed by the Primordial Celestial Emperor!
