School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1855 - 1941: Secret Realm Treasure 8
Previously on School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master...
Straining, the two elders gasped for breath, their efforts to budge the Haotian Tower proving futile. It remained stubbornly fixed in the void, as if fused with the very fabric of space. Not even a tremor disturbed its immobility, the tower glowing with an ancient luminescence that concealed its interior. Only the faint whisper of celestial winds and the distant roar of primordial fire echoed across the star domain.
"Huff, huff!"
The elders redoubled their exertions, pushing their divine power to its absolute zenith.
"This feather is exquisite, and that one is not far behind. Hahaha, my ambition to forge a divine artifact is no longer a mere fantasy!" Yunhua Heavenly Monarch bellowed with unrestrained glee.
Meanwhile, Ji Yueshen was plucking feathers from the side, offering counsel to the Black Feathered Chicken. "Little Blackie, your feathers will regrow. Look how adorable we are. It’s only proper that you contribute selflessly. Besides, Chen Nan possesses an abundance of immortal pills. You can consume a few more later to replenish yourself!"
A low grumble escaped Chen Nan. "Damn it, even if I have immortal pills, they are mine. What business is it of yours?"
"Junior Sister, convey a message to those two old fellows outside. They are acting absurdly. They’ve toiled for so long without moving it; they are utterly useless."
Chen Nan gave Ye Yiyi a knowing glance. Having witnessed her formidable ice-based divine power firsthand, he understood its potency. The exertion required for them to escape using the Fire Star Heavenly Technique had been considerable…
A flicker of concern crossed Chen Nan’s face as he regarded them.
"Understood."
Ye Yiyi nodded in agreement. Then, channeling her divine power, she prepared to unleash an ice-based attack.
"Hold on. Don't those two old fools enjoy moving things? Give them another chance to prove their strength. Haotian Tower, loosen up a bit. Allow them to lift you first."
A wicked grin spread across Chen Nan's face. The Black Forest Demon King and Ape Ancestor shivered instinctively. Having followed Chen Nan for an extended period, they recognized that grin as a harbinger of trouble, and the ensuing methods were invariably cunning.
They immediately grasped Chen Nan's intention, unable to suppress bitter smiles.
"Huff, huff!"
The two elders had already surged their divine power to its peak. They could likely move a planet, let alone a tower, yet the Haotian Tower remained resolutely unyielding.
Frustration etched onto their faces, the elders were on the verge of admitting defeat when the Haotian Tower unexpectedly shifted by a hair's breadth. Though the immense weight still demanded their full divine power to maintain, they had managed to move it.
"Hehe, what did I say? There's nothing in this world we cannot move…" the elder in the yellow robe couldn't help but boast, though he silently acknowledged the tower's formidable weight.
"Precisely! Together, we could move even a Supreme Being. What is a mere pagoda in comparison?" The elder in the purple robe felt a surge of smugness. His slightly superior strength lent greater fluency to his words.
"The wisdom and might of the elders are truly unmatched in this world. The Haotian Tower is but a trivial matter."
Wuji Heavenly Monarch and Nantian Heavenly Monarch offered swift flattery as they observed the elders straining their divine power to the utmost, barely budging the tower. They couldn't help but wonder why Chen Nan always appeared so at ease.
Could Chen Nan's power surpass that of the two elders? Or is there some hidden ploy at play?
A premonition of unease struck the normally cautious Wuji Heavenly Monarch; he suspected a trick was afoot. Just as he prepared to voice his concerns to the elders–
Suddenly, an intensely cold beam of ice-based divine power erupted from within the Haotian Tower, striking directly at both elders.
At such close quarters, evasion was virtually impossible, especially given the precarious task of supporting the immense tower.
The two elders were not about to relinquish their hard-won progress after managing to lift it.
With a shared thought, the divine artifacts of the purple-robed and yellow-robed elders autonomously flew from their backs, intercepting the incoming ice-based divine power.
These two half-step Supreme artifacts, already possessing a degree of spiritual sentience, represented the pinnacle of divine artifacts. As they launched forth, their sole aim was to shatter Ye Yiyi’s ice-based divine power.
Observing the elders summon their divine artifacts from within the Haotian Tower, Chen Nan erupted in hearty laughter. He called out to the tower, "Little Tower!"
The Haotian Tower understood. A surge of power emanated from its core, instantly drawing the two top-tier divine artifacts into the tower's internal dimension.
Holding the captured divine artifacts, Chen Nan addressed the Sky Dragon King. "Elder Dragon, rest assured, I am merely securing their divine artifacts temporarily to keep them in check."
The Sky Dragon King, aware of Chen Nan's proficiency with the Melt Soldiers and Refine Body Technique, harbored genuine worry that Chen Nan's artifact refinement would escalate conflicts, potentially leading to the two supreme ancestors spitting blood.
Chen Nan's current strength, coupled with his willingness to offer an explanation, served as a positive indicator for his relationship with the Sky Dragon King, demonstrating the value of their friendship.
While they engaged in conversation and laughter, the world beyond the Haotian Tower saw the two elders in a state of misery... no, rather, extreme misery!
Ye Yiyi's ice-attribute divine power had instantly encased them in frost. The duo remained wide-eyed, still supporting the Haotian Tower with their backsides thrust outwards.
The layers of ice formed grotesque lumps, creating a spectacle that naturally evoked chuckles.
Liu Tiantian casually approached Chen Nan, playfully remarking, "Hubby, look, you were just like this when you were frozen, hahaha. See, how could you not have noticed this, hubby."
Annoying, bringing up past embarrassments!
Chen Nan felt a fleeting impulse to flick her forehead to express his irritation, but then reconsidered—Liu Tiantian was simply that kind of person. Even if he did react, she likely wouldn't retain the memory. And with her being so endearingly silly, what if she became upset and decided to pin him down over something trivial...
"If you remain silent, no one will assume you're mute," Chen Nan retorted, rolling his eyes dramatically.
In the very next moment, he let out a hearty laugh, amused by the comical predicament of the old men outside.
From their expressions, it was evident they lacked his Mixed Sacred Body, capable of the Five Elements Transformation, and were thus suffering unbearably from the cold.
"Chen Nan, you are the cause of our plight. We were dispatched by the Ghost Sovereign."
The two elders transmitted their thoughts through a divine communication from within their icy prison, utterly incensed.
"Ghost Sovereign? I've been looking for him myself. Ask him if he'd dare to respond if I were to call out his name," Chen Nan scoffed, his voice ringing out towards the void, "Ghost Sovereign, I'm dealing with your subordinates, come face me if you have the courage!"
Utterly audacious!
To openly challenge a supreme being by calling his name. The two elders were utterly stunned.
Inwardly, they harbored a secret hope that the Ghost Sovereign would appear and teach Chen Nan a stern lesson.
Nevertheless, the void remained eerily silent, as though the Ghost Sovereign had completely disregarded Chen Nan's provocative declaration.
Due to the incident where the Little Heavenly Demon was possessed by a residual soul, Chen Nan had harbored a simmering resentment for quite some time. The fact that these two simpletons dared to leverage the Ghost Sovereign's name to intimidate him was, in his view, an invitation for severe trouble.
"Just you wait, we will relay the message to the Ghost Sovereign, and he will undoubtedly come to deal with an arrogant brat like you."
The elder clad in purple robes, despite being frozen solid while supporting the immense weight of the Haotian Tower, felt his divine power draining at an alarming rate.
Prior to their mission, the Ghost Sovereign had furnished them with a communication token, enabling cross-realm assistance during dire circumstances. One such token was currently in the possession of Nantian Heavenly Monarch, and at his command, the artifact detached itself from Ye Nantian's hand.
