Chen Nan confronts the Nine Nether Evil Emperor, who admits to releasing the Outer Heaven Demon souls. The Nine Nether Evil Emperor reveals his tragic past: his father and all of Jiuyou Valley were massacred using the Blood Transformation Technique. He spent centuries seeking revenge, eventually targeting the Demon Annihilation Sect. He also reveals that the Dragon Emperor was involved in the demise of his valley, using a dragon claw to bury the evidence after the Blood Transformation Technique was employed. Now, the Dragon Emperor is resurrecting and presents an opportunity to strike.

Once the Nine Nether Evil Emperor concluded his declaration, the chains binding his arm instantly pierced the void, aiming towards the stone coffin. "Dragon Emperor, if you have no final words, I shall commence my attack."

A profound voice echoed from within the stone coffin. "I have little to say. Many years ago, when the Demon Clan and the ants of the Demon Path initiated conflict across Jiuzhou, I chanced upon Jiuyou Valley and imposed discipline. At the time, I was unaware there were any survivors remaining in the valley."

"Excellent, excellent, truly excellent. So you were simply unaware. In your estimation, Dragon Emperor, ordinary beings are no more than insects. Even crushing them to death is of no consequence. Today, you shall bear the price for your actions."

The chains held by the Nine Nether Evil Emperor stirred, lashing out at the Dragon Emperor.

The scattered souls of the Outer Heaven Demons also ascended into the void, commencing the absorption of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. They proceeded to seal the surrounding natural spiritual energy, intending to obstruct the Dragon Emperor's complete resurrection.

A colossal dragon claw continuously parried the Nine Nether Evil Emperor's assault, concurrently sweeping towards the remnant souls of the Outer Heaven Demons that occupied the void.

At the very moment the Nine Nether Evil Emperor engaged in combat with the immense dragon claw of the Dragon Emperor, a ferocious force erupted between them, violently propelling Chen Nan backward.

Chen Nan remained uncertain how deeply animosity could drive an individual to utter madness, yet he grasped one fundamental truth: should his kin be slaughtered, his companions eliminated, even after tens of thousands of years, let alone thousands, he would never forget his adversaries.

But could the entirety of the blame be placed upon the Dragon Emperor?

The True Dragon Emperor's physical form stretched for tens of thousands of feet. The sheer power of a single claw treated both Demon Clan experts and masters of the Demon Path as insignificant insects. Had he truly intended to intervene then, the demon responsible would never have escaped alive.

It was akin to a person observing two ants locked in combat and casually separating them, never for a moment considering that such an action might harm lesser beings.

"Chen Nan, both the Nine Nether Evil Emperor and the Dragon Emperor are figures from your past. Given this, it would be prudent for you to depart this location. Their grand battle could persist for an indeterminable duration, and you are powerless to influence the outcome, only to compound your own frustration."

The Black Feathered Chicken alighted beside Chen Nan, tilted its head like a curious fowl, pondered momentarily, and then spoke.

Despite the Black Feathered Chicken's inherent cunning and astuteness, at this juncture, it too seemed at a loss for a solution to the unfolding situation.

The Dragon Emperor's might was undeniably immense; however, at present, he had only manifested two dragon claws. With three still absent and his true form yet to coalesce, his battle strength was a mere shadow of its former peak.

While the Dragon Emperor had the support of the Seven Great Demon Gods from Demon God Mountain, the Nine Nether Evil Emperor was hardly a lesser opponent. Engaging in a direct confrontation, especially considering his pact with the Outer Heaven Demons, made the eventual victor an uncertain prospect.

"Listen here, you useless fowl, you likely have your own burdens to bear. However, I am curious; can the Nine Nether Evil Emperor genuinely withstand the Dragon Emperor's onslaught as he perpetually regenerates?" Chen Nan inquired, his brow furrowed slightly as he observed the conflict unfolding in the void.

"Ha ha, Chen Nan, your intellect never ceases to amaze. I recall overhearing from the Haotian Tower that although the Nine Nether Evil Emperor endured imprisonment by the Primordial Celestial Emperor for millennia, he attained the Supreme Hidden Dragon Body, do you remember?"

The Black Feathered Chicken declared with an air of smug pride.

A sudden realization dawned upon Chen Nan. While his own Chaos Sacred Body represented the pinnacle of physical prowess in the Four Extremes World, the Nine Nether Evil Emperor's Hidden Dragon Body possessed truly astonishing power at the Supreme Realm.

The Hidden Dragon Body, when below the Supreme level, harbored boundless potential. Yet, this potential was capped, allowing cultivators only to reach the Heavenly Monarch Realm before their innate talent waned, prohibiting entry into the Supreme realm.

To achieve the Hidden Dragon Body within the Supreme Realm signified possessing limitless potential at that supreme echelon, a physique of extraordinary and terrifying caliber.

Typically, a contest between Supremes could rage on for an extended period.

A Supreme endowed with the Hidden Dragon Body possessed the terrifying ability to grow continuously throughout a prolonged battle. This was their most daunting characteristic: facing imminent peril, they could still flourish indefinitely, much like a hidden dragon plunging into the boundless ocean, thriving eternally.

"I comprehend now. You imply that as the Dragon Emperor persistently recovers his strength, the Nine Nether Evil Emperor, through the very act of fighting, will also continue to strengthen. Their combat capabilities might thus achieve a form of equilibrium, preventing either from succumbing?"

If such a scenario were indeed unfolding, it would present a remarkably fortunate turn of events. A prolonged conflict, lasting perhaps a year and a half, would grant ample time to devise a strategy to neutralize them.

"On a related note, useless fowl, what precisely is causing you such concern?"

Chen Nan directed a questioning glance towards the remnant souls of the Outer Heaven Demons lingering in the void, his expression one of unease.

These lingering spirits are currently recovering, unlike the golden-haired roaring Outer Heaven Demon that was encountered previously. In life, they possessed supreme power; even the elders of the Ancient World exhausted their remaining strength to seal them within the Geng Metal Sword Formation.

Should these remnant souls manage to restore their true forms, even with the crushing influence of the Four Extremes World Laws, each of them would attain the Supreme Realm. At that point, they would undoubtedly become the greatest harbinger of calamity.

The Black Feathered Chicken cast a displeased glance at Chen Nan, annoyed that he had so readily identified the issue it had discovered. The Chicken Lord had initially intended to show off, but Chen Nan saw through it all, completely ruining the performance.

"Foolish one, let us return to the Ancient God Star. The ultimate confrontation between the Dragon Emperor and Nine Nether is unlikely to conclude any time soon. The Demon Gods of Demon God Mountain are currently battling these remnant souls of the Outer Heaven Demons, weakening them for our benefit. We should first rescue Ou Yifei, and then seek assistance from the Haotian Tower," Su Qingqing proposed to Chen Nan, outlining her strategy.

Lingering here any longer would serve no purpose.

With an innocent expression, Liu Tiantian pushed her way forward and approached Chen Nan. "Husband, let's go back and gather reinforcements. While the Dragon Emperor and Nine Nether are locked in battle, we can assist by eliminating those remnant souls of the Outer Heaven Demons."

Chen Nan was left speechless. "Big chest, no brain, as expected." These Outer Heaven Demon remnants were brought by the Nine Nether Evil Emperor, and the people from Demon God Mountain are allies of the Dragon Emperor; they can handle those demon souls without issue.

However, if they were to intervene and destroy them before this crucial victory is decided, wouldn't that be an insult to the Nine Nether Evil Emperor's reputation? If he considers you a brother, only for you to then take revenge by annihilating his expendable pawns, it would simply be improper conduct.

Noticing Chen Nan rolling his eyes, Liu Tiantian clutched his arm. "Husband, husband, did I say something wrong?"

Huo Xinya offered a helpless smile, while Chu Wenrou regarded Liu Tiantian as if she were a simpleton. "Are you daft? While the Heaven Punishment Alliance possesses considerable strength, engaging those remnant souls of the Outer Heaven Demons would result in the demise of many Heavenly Monarchs..."

Chu Wenrou, being a woman, prioritized the survival of her own people over notions of brotherhood. While other matters hold importance, self-preservation and the well-being of one's own group must come first.

"As the situation stands, it appears we must indeed return to the Ancient God Star. I am uncertain how much progress the Small Tower has made in studying the Treasure Bone. At this critical juncture, can it prevent the life-or-death struggle between the Dragon Emperor and the Nine Nether Evil Emperor?"

With a change in direction, Chen Nan directed the ancestors of the Military and Mohist schools to depart first, and then he leaped onto the back of the Black Feathered Chicken. The four women mounted the Fire Qilin, setting their course towards the Ancient God Star.
