“Little Tower, you and Black Sun go find Junior Sister and the others. We will pursue Seven Suns, that old fogey. Today, no matter what, his head must fall,” Chen Nan declared as he led the group in pursuit.
As Chen Nan and the Black Feathered Chicken gave chase to the rapidly retreating figure of the Demon Clan Supreme in the void, a memory surfaced. The Nether Evil Emperor had once mentioned that for certain reasons, the Demon Clan Supreme could not be killed. This point had already been proven by the Demon Clan Supreme himself.
Speaking of the Nether Evil Emperor, it remained uncertain how he fared within the Ancient God Demon Battlefield. If he were present now, he would undoubtedly reveal the truth behind the inability to kill the Demon Clan Supreme.
“Old Seven Suns, you cannot escape. Stand still obediently. Out of respect for the senior from the Nine Netherworld, I can spare your life,” Chen Nan shouted, seeing the severely wounded Demon Clan Supreme still fleeing at great speed.
His words caused the Demon Clan Supreme’s figure to visibly falter.
His pace slackened slightly, yet he continued his escape.
“Seven Suns, are you perhaps too timid? I, Chen Nan, founded the Heaven Punishment Alliance, and my word carries weight. Do you believe I would deceive you? Furthermore, a Supreme Expert like the Nether Evil Emperor dared not kill you. How could I, a mere junior who has just reached Tianjun, compare to him?”
In reality, Chen Nan was uncertain if the Nether Evil Emperor truly hesitated to kill Seven Suns. However, he reasoned that emphasizing this point would instill greater confidence in the Demon Clan Supreme. After all, the battle in the void had demonstrated that during the Ancient era, the Demon Clan Supreme had feared the Nether Evil Emperor immensely. It was peculiar that the person he feared most could later be unable to kill him for unknown reasons.
Such a situation would undoubtedly bolster his self-assurance.
Indeed, influenced by Chen Nan’s words, the Demon Clan Supreme seemed to recall something and abruptly slowed his flight. A few breaths later, he came to a complete stop in the void.
“Chen Nan, you are quite astute. It is true. You cannot kill me, nor could the Nether Evil Emperor. Moreover, heh, heh, you are incapable of killing me at this moment either,” the Demon Clan Supreme proclaimed, his arrogance undisguised.
Chen Nan observed him, a look of astonishment crossing his face. “You… how is this possible?”
Chen Nan detected an incredibly potent force emanating from the Demon Clan Supreme, rapidly mending his wounds. Judging by the circumstances, within an hour or two, he would likely recover at least seventy percent of his former strength.
The Demon Clan Supreme radiated immense pleasure, chuckling, “There is something even more astounding for you, young one. Take a look at this. What do you make of it?”
As Chen Nan’s gaze followed, his astonishment grew. “A Star Plate belonging to a Yin Yang expert! How did it come into your possession?”
Seven Suns sneered, “With the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Yin Yang Star Plate, in my hand, Chen Nan, do you truly believe I would fear you? Wielding the Yin Yang Star Plate, your Golden Phoenix Winged Spear, the Haotian Tower, and even the Chaos Stone are now powerless to breach my defenses.”
“Ha ha ha, Senior Seven Suns, it appears fate has brought us together in conflict. A question has long puzzled me: why exactly can the Nether Evil Emperor not kill you? Now that we stand on the brink of a truce, could you perhaps enlighten me as to the reason?” Chen Nan inquired, his expression conveying an insatiable curiosity. “If you do not tell me, I fear I shall perish from the torment of not knowing.”
Flattered by Chen Nan’s words, the Demon Clan Supreme momentarily lost his composure and boasted, “As for the reason, I shall reveal it to you. Chen Nan, do you foolishly believe that the power of the Heavenly People Twelve Palaces can truly resurrect a Supreme Expert? If that were the case, the Supreme Experts of the Heavenly People Clan would have been resurrected countless times by now.”
Noticing Chen Nan’s perplexed expression, the Demon Clan Supreme let out a cold grin. “Those celestial beings merely gathered the dispersed fragments of my soul. My true revival, however, was accomplished through the utilization of an ultimate Treasure, connecting with the Heaven and Earth power of the Four Extremes World to achieve revival within the Coiling Dragon Heavenly Palace. This interaction with the world’s power creates a mutual reinforcement. Consequently, should I perish, the power of the world’s barrier will weaken. At that juncture, heh, heh, experts from the Outer Domain may seize the opportunity to invade. Given that you have shattered the seal of the Ancient God Demon Battlefield by eliminating the Heavenly People Twelve Palaces, the Ancient Gods and Demons have commenced their revival. If the Heavenly People Clan were to intervene amidst this chaos, ha, ha, then the Four Extremes World would face calamities from both within and without. Consider whether the Nether Evil Emperor would dare to act rashly under such dire circumstances?”
Upon hearing this revelation, Chen Nan’s expression shifted dramatically.
Noticing this detail, the Demon Clan Supreme regarded Chen Nan as if he were a pathetic entity. "You believe yourself to be astute, yet you are nothing more than a troublesome upstart. Had it not been for your interference, how could the seal on the God Demon Battlefield have been shattered so swiftly? Thankfully, you spared my life; otherwise, the repercussions would have been catastrophic, and you would have faced profound regret."
"Wretched old man, you seek to undermine my Dao Heart and sow seeds of doubt within me? I suggest you cease your futile attempts," Chen Nan taunted. "That immense power you wield, the Seven Suns, if my senses are accurate, you can only harness a minuscule fraction, unable to fully refine it. Why not allow me to benefit from it instead?"
A ripple of apprehension coursed through the Demon Clan Supreme, prompting an instinctive urge to flee. However, Chen Nan bellowed, "Yin Yang Dual World!"
He immediately unleashed the Yin Yang Dual World, its expanse encompassing the Demon Clan Supreme.
The Demon Clan Supreme attempted an escape, only to crash directly into the Yangji World. Upon impact, countless assaults from within the Yangji World's void rained down upon him.
"Chen Nan, you treacherous wretch! You gave your word that you would not kill me!"
At this juncture, the Demon Clan Supreme felt akin to a cauldron on a rolling boil, a vessel brimming with contents yet incapable of releasing them. The power coursing within him, as Chen Nan had accurately surmised, was indeed potent, though he had managed to absorb merely a sliver of it.
In truth, that power was not inherently his.
Millennia ago, during the primordial era, he was but a humble Demon Immortal within the Demon Realm. It's conceivable his cultivation journey might have concluded at that very plane.
Then, one day, a crystalline bone, no larger than his palm yet radiating an extraordinary luminescence and imbued with an unfathomable power, descended from the heavens. The sheer potency of this artifact was such that the Demon Clan Supreme toiled for decades, unable to refine even a fraction of its essence.
It was solely through the possession of this bone that he ascended to the esteemed rank of Supreme!
