School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1794 - 1880: Devil Soul

With the Demon Clan Supreme's departure, the Star Plate entwined with the Haotian Tower also vanished into thin air.

The Little Sky Demon leaped forward, a look of deep regret on its face: "Blast it, a momentary lapse allowed them to seize the chance. I never anticipated such a formidable entity existing within the Panlong Star Domain, capable of rescuing that ancient demon."

The Haotian Tower, witnessing the Star Plate's disappearance, retreated to Chen Nan's side, equally dismayed: "Alas, I, the Small Tower Lord, was negligent. That Star Plate was merely a feint; their true objective was the liberation of the Demon Clan Supreme. It appears I have been outmaneuvered."

The Haotian Tower was tremendously vexed. Having just encountered what it believed to be a worthy adversary, it had become completely engrossed, neglecting the critical matters at hand, which ultimately led to this unfortunate outcome.

"To think that even after unleashing the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Blood Gourd, we still failed to eliminate the Demon Clan Supreme. It's truly exasperating. Even if he manages to survive this ordeal, he will undoubtedly be crippled. If we can locate him swiftly, there's still a glimmer of hope."

Chen Nan clenched his teeth, the rapid turn of events catching him completely off guard. He was also perplexed by the opponent's actions—so powerful, yet they only rescued the Demon Clan Supreme and departed without further engagement.

Their collective energy had been significantly depleted. If their adversary were to seize this moment for an attack, casualties might be unavoidable.

The Black Feathered Chicken beat its wings in agitation: "Damn it all, could the one who just rescued that old geezer be some long-lost lover who abandoned him? We fought ourselves to the brink of death, only for them to show up then."

Chen Nan shook his head. "We've encountered a powerful being of this caliber in the Panlong Star Domain before. It was someone from the Yin Yang family, an individual who wields the Chaos Sky Silk and always remains unseen. We have no idea if they are male or female."

The Haotian Tower let out a sneer. "That Demon Clan Supreme scum won't get away. Back when that Yin Yang family expert apprehended the Ape Ancestor, I was positioned to act. Therefore, during our assault on the Demon Clan Supreme, I discreetly left something upon him."

Beholding the astonished and admiring gazes of everyone present, the Haotian Tower swelled with a measure of pride, its earlier frustration instantly dissipating. Its form radiated brilliant light, enveloping the Blood Gourd for several moments before ceasing.

Chen Nan understood that the Haotian Tower was scanning the Blood Gourd. He too felt a surge of curiosity, recalling the Haotian Tower's assertion that this Innate Spiritual Treasure could only be utilized once. He had presumed it would be destroyed after its use, yet its condition remained remarkably intact.

"I had initially assumed this Blood Gourd possessed a single use. It seems my assumption was mistaken. Chen Nan, you have truly stumbled upon a treasure. If my assessment is correct, the true prowess of this Innate Spiritual Treasure lies not in its offensive capability, but in its remarkable ability to absorb Blood Evil Qi and subsequently condense formidable Killing Devices within itself."

Upon hearing the Haotian Tower's explanation, Chen Nan's eyes lit up with elation. "What? Are you implying that this Blood Gourd can conjure terrifying offensive Killing Devices, akin to that blood-colored miniature sword?"

Chen Nan vividly recalled the sight of the blood-colored miniature sword piercing the Demon Clan Supreme's chest, subsequently obliterating the heart of a Supreme Expert.

Chen Nan remembered the blood-colored miniature sword's persistent struggle, as if resisting its fate. He now comprehended that the Killing Device was aware of its impending destruction and thus fought with such ferocity. The Killing Devices spawned from the Blood Gourd were all of the Spirit Treasure level, truly living up to the artifact's formidable name.

The Haotian Tower offered a nod, then a sigh. "Chen Nan, employing this Innate Spiritual Treasure necessitates the absorption of substantial Blood Evil Qi, which likely means venturing into perilously dangerous territories. Should you choose to wield its power, it will come at a considerable price."

"Heh, a price I'm prepared to pay."

Chen Nan solemnly nodded, carefully putting away the Blood Gourd.

He observed that the faint golden luminescence on the Little Sky Demon had largely faded, leaving it exceptionally weakened.

Chen Nan's expression, which had moments prior been alight with excitement, grew somber.

A recollection surfaced: the Heavenly Demon God Transformation Technique employed by the Little Sky Demon had been acquired from the Devil Soul. If his conjecture was accurate, this ancient secret technique, upon its use, would leave both the Divine Soul and the physical form critically weakened.

At this precise juncture, if the Devil Soul were to attempt possession of the Little Sky Demon's body, it would be remarkably simple. An ancient Demon Soul would scarcely act out of any benevolent intent; it undoubtedly harbored its own agenda.

"Chen Nan, what troubles you? The Yin Yang family expert should have lowered their guard by now. We can pursue them," the Haotian Tower remarked, still somewhat oblivious, its focus remaining on tracking the Demon Clan Supreme.

The Four Fierce Eight Hammers and the Black Feathered Chicken eagerly readied themselves. They were not aware of Little Sky Demon’s true predicament, having just witnessed his impressive battle against the Demon Clan Supreme, mistaking it for a forbidden Secret Technique rather than the reality of his situation.

The Black Forest Demon King, however, perceived a shift in Chen Nan’s expression and sensed that something was not quite right.

"Master, Little Sky Demon..." The Black Forest Demon King's Divine Thought reached out.

"Everyone, act now! We must suppress Little Sky Demon within the Haotian Tower. It's vital we don't allow him to escape, as that Ancient Demon Soul might be plotting something once more."

As Chen Nan's Divine Thought propagated, the Haotian Tower, the Black Forest Demon King, the Four Fierce Eight Hammers, and the Black Feathered Chicken surged forward with renewed purpose.

Despite not fully grasping the intricacies of the situation, the companions accepted Chen Nan’s directives as the most reliable intelligence available.

Little Sky Demon's soul was in a perilous state, barely clinging to existence. Upon seeing Chen Nan and the others advance, he experienced a moment of profound relief.

In an instant, the Devil Soul seized control of the body. As the Ancient Soul fully occupied Little Sky Demon’s form, an immense wave of terrifying Demonic Qi erupted, nearly repelling Chen Nan.

The Devil Soul's power was astonishingly formidable. By harnessing its remaining soul force to inhabit Little Sky Demon's weakened body, it unleashed a might comparable to a Half-step Supreme.

"Heh heh! Chen Nan, you believe you can prevent my escape? I never had any intention of leaving. Let me inform you, during this brief period, my Divine Soul has grown even stronger. The devouring of Little Sky Demon’s soul is merely a preliminary step. You might as well cease your futile struggles." The Devil Soul’s malevolent laughter emanated from Little Sky Demon’s lips.

"Curses! Chen Nan, could it be that the Old Demon's body also harbors a Heart Demon?" The Black Feathered Chicken expressed deep confusion, recalling the Heart Demon within Chen Nan's own being.

Having spoken, the Devil Soul ceased all resistance and voluntarily entered the Haotian Tower. It surveyed the astonished group with an air of arrogance, shaking its two massive heads. "This Small Tower is indeed a treasure. The pace of cultivation within is dozens of times faster than outside, making it perfect for restoring my Divine Soul. Once I recover my lost memories and reclaim my True Body, your doom will be sealed."

The Devil Soul presumed that Chen Nan would hesitate to betray his own kin and destroy Little Sky Demon’s body. Consequently, even within the confines of the Haotian Tower, it displayed an even greater degree of boldness.
