School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1843 - 1929: Slaying the Supreme, Destroying the Divine Soul
Previously on School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master...
Su Qingqing rolled her eyes, finding it preposterous that the Grand Patriarch of the Golden Sword Sect would lecture about internal and external threats. The internal threat, she mused, clearly stemmed from the infighting within the sect itself.
If a true elimination of internal threats was the goal, a thorough purging would be necessary.
However, what captured her attention at this moment was the matter concerning the Outer Heaven Demons. Chen Nan's prior incursion into the God and Demon Tower and his descriptions of those terrifying entities had left an indelible mark on her.
Should she manage to gain a deeper comprehension of these Outer Heaven Demons, or even harness their power, her helplessness when facing such formidable beings again would surely diminish.
Su Qingqing harbored a suspicion that the demons who had invaded the Four Extremes World in ancient times and met their end on the Ancient God Demon Battlefield were not quite as overwhelmingly powerful as those encountered within the God and Demon Tower. Nevertheless, the reasons behind the tower's descent upon the Magic Realm and the imprisonment of those demons remained an enigma.
While the four women questioned the Grand Patriarch of the Golden Sword Sect, in the vast expanse of the void, the Heart Demon, having temporarily commandeered Chen Nan's body, was engrossed in practicing the Fifth Form of Chaotic Reversal.
"Chaotic Inversion Fifth Form, Time!"
A demonic voice boomed as Chen Nan, seated placidly in the void, began to age at an accelerated rate. His skin grew desiccated, wrinkles rapidly etched themselves onto his once-smooth visage, and the hair atop his head transformed from black to white.
Aged prematurely by time's passage, white hair arrived without warning. In that instant, Chen Nan's heart pulsed with a jolt as he distinctly perceived the Power of Time, a force emanating from within his being, extending outwards into the surrounding void.
Immediately, the entire void seemed to succumb to an aura of antiquity and desolation.
In the subsequent second, the Black Feathered Chicken and the Fire Qilin also underwent a transformation, appearing to age drastically. The Black Feathered Chicken's plumage grew brittle, and the Fire Qilin's inherent vitality plummeted instantly.
From a distance, within the Void Yin Yang Array, the Yin Yang Saintess detected an energy surge heading towards the formation. Instinctively, she brought a hand to her face.
Her expression contorted into one of pure horror—a terrifying visage—as she aged rapidly, her once-captivating beauty vanishing. It was her most treasured attribute, now dissipating in a fleeting moment.
The Supreme Power coursing through her seemed to ebb away, a dreadful force infiltrating her body, leaving her utterly incapable of resistance.
Far off, Liu Tiantian observed the transformations afflicting Chen Nan, the Black Feathered Chicken, and the Fire Qilin, erupting into fits of laughter and nearly collapsing to the ground.
"Hahaha... Just look at Chen Nan, he’s become a little old man, hahahaha... Huh!"
Liu Tiantian guffawed at their appearance, but amusement quickly turned to shock as she sensed a sudden alteration within her own body. Her gaze instinctively darted to her ample bosom, her face draining of color in drastic change.
The four women were aware of the Heart Demon's existence, and given Chen Nan's prior warning when the Heart Demon manifested, they harbored no immediate concerns for his safety.
Nevertheless, a woman’s appearance is often her highest priority. Chu Wenrou, with her peculiar disposition, upon noticing the white hair and recalling Chen Nan’s previous maneuver, deduced that he was engaging in the practice of a profoundly esoteric technique.
She remained unconcerned about her appearance, perceiving it merely as a transient manifestation of power.
But Liu Tiantian spiraled into despair, her earlier mockery of Chen Nan now amplified by her own disfigurement. Tears streamed down her face, uncontrollable despite the soothing attempts of Su Qingqing and Huo Xinya.
Chen Nan, at this precise juncture, experienced an astounding epiphany, his shock immeasurable.
"Master, what lies at the very core of the Power of Time?" Chen Nan couldn't help but inquire.
"Transform yourself, then contemplate transforming all that surrounds you. Attain the pinnacle of existence, and you shall possess the capacity to reshape the world." The Heart Demon's voice resonated with profound calmness, as if still lost in the currents of time.
"Master, this technique..."
Chen Nan wished to probe further, but the Heart Demon's presence dissipated entirely, leaving not a single trace behind.
"I comprehend now. The Chaotic Nine Forms possess the ability to disrupt even time itself, thus giving rise to the Power of Time." Chen Nan's thoughts raced as he urgently channeled his Divine Power, intent on capturing the residual essence left by the Heart Demon.
"Found them, Residual Souls. Though they are but mere residual souls, they suffice to facilitate their reincarnation, preventing their absolute obliteration." Chen Nan channeled his Divine Power into the two residual souls, watching them vanish into the void in the blink of an eye.
The subsequent reincarnation of these two spiritual remnants proved to be a fortunate turn of events.
Witnessing the departure of the residual souls, Chen Nan's focus shifted, and in an instant, he materialized beside the Yin Yang Saintess. The temporal distortions wrought by the Power of Time had already been completely rectified.
Nevertheless, the Black Feathered Chicken, Fire Qilin, and the Yin Yang Saintess, along with the four women, had not yet recovered their full strength.
The Yin Yang Saintess, trapped within the Void Yin Yang Array, was frantically pulling at her hair, a picture of distress.
"No! No! How can I be aging? Chen Nan, what dark magic have you performed? I swear I will drag you down with me!" In her despair, the Yin Yang Saintess immediately activated the formation, launching an assault on Chen Nan.
"To be eroded by the Heart Demon's Power of Time and still dare to act so high and mighty in her weakened state. Watch as I strike you down!"
Chen Nan channeled his mental cultivation method, letting out a powerful cry as he unleashed the Third Form of Reversal Chaos.
Fusion, comprehension!
Executing the Third Form of Reversal Chaos, Chen Nan's hands moved ceaselessly through the air, tracing intricate patterns that caused the very void to warp. A terrifying power of reversal began to coalesce in his palms.
He could distinctly feel that over ninety percent of the Divine Power within his being had been drawn out. At his current cultivation level of the Mid-stage Heavenly Monarch Realm, he could only perform this Third Form a single time.
In the ensuing moment, the fearsome power gathered in his palms was unleashed in a devastating slash towards the head of the Yin Yang Saintess, still ensnared within the Void Yin Yang Array.
The Yin Yang Saintess's own Divine Skills had also been deployed.
The two supreme powers met head-on in the void, resulting in an instantaneous collision.
Boom!
Chen Nan's body was forcefully propelled backward, a flicker of surprise crossing his features. He quickly turned his gaze towards the Yin Yang Saintess, and the sight that greeted him left him utterly astonished.
The Yin Yang Saintess's Divine Soul had been utterly annihilated in that moment, its fragments scattering outwards, appearing utterly devoid of any remaining Spiritual Wisdom.
With a single, devastating application of the Third Form of Reversal Chaos, the Yin Yang Saintess's Divine Soul was annihilated. Chen Nan's thoughts stirred, and his Divine Fire Avatar enveloped the dispersing soul fragments, eliciting heart-wrenching screams before they vanished into nothingness.
The Yin Yang family's sole Yin Yang Saintess in a millennium, succumbing to the erosion of the Power of Time, was instantly struck down by the Third Form of Reversal Chaos.
"This power is truly dreadful, capable of instantly killing a Supreme Expert. Yet, it was thanks to the residual ripples of the Power of Time; otherwise, even with my Third Form, I might have only severely wounded her Divine Soul at best."
Chen Nan remained somewhat shaken. It appeared the Heart Demon had foreseen this very outcome. After all, the Yin Yang Saintess was a formidable Supreme Expert. Unfortunately, the Dust and Time techniques were exceedingly difficult to master, and with his current state of mind, he was incapable of executing them.
As the Yin Yang Saintess's Divine Soul extinguished and her body remained suspended, Chen Nan felt a surge of triumph. However, his expression abruptly shifted to one of shock as he gazed upon the remains still floating within the Void Yin Yang Array.
"What is happening? How can there still be a Divine Soul within her?" Chen Nan was utterly bewildered.
The Divine Soul was weak, but it undeniably persisted within the Yin Yang Saintess.
