School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1858 - 1944: Secret Realm Treasure 11

An overwhelming number of demons appeared, and Chen Nan swiftly eliminated several at the forefront with a mere wave of his hand. However, more demons continued to pour out from the underground cavern incessantly.

"This is bad. After I kill these demons, the ones behind them absorb the released demonic qi and grow stronger. This approach is futile."

Adept at recognizing anomalies associated with God Demons, Chen Nan had not anticipated the sheer power of these underground entities. He was unable to refine the demonic qi released from the demons he slew.

The demons further back leveraged their advantage, absorbing the demonic qi from their fallen comrades and evolving rapidly. In mere moments, Chen Nan, Ye Yiyi, and Su Qingqing had felled dozens of these underground fiends.

Yet, among them, an expert at the Late Stage Demon God realm had already surfaced. If this continued, demons possessing Half-step Supreme strength could soon emerge.

While Chen Nan felt confident in confronting a Half-step Supreme cultivator, the prospect of facing ten or more such beings was a terrifying thought.

"You two stay here and guard. I will venture into that cave to find the source of this demonic qi. If we don't, these demons will only grow more powerful, and soon none of us will stand a chance," Chen Nan instructed the two women.

"Senior brother, you..."

"Fool, be careful!"

Ye Yiyi and Su Qingqing exclaimed almost in unison, their voices laced with concern.

"Don't worry, I won't be harmed. Even if I face a Supreme Expert now, I can still preserve my life," Chen Nan reassured them. He then quickly maneuvered past the demon horde, flying directly towards the cave's entrance.

As Chen Nan approached the cave, the demons seemed to sense his intention. They intensified their assault on Su Qingqing and Ye Yiyi, while several formidable demons broke away to pursue Chen Nan, vanishing into the cave in the blink of an eye.

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but voice her worry, "Will senior brother be alright? That cave is spewing forth such potent demonic qi, giving rise to these terrifying demons. It surely can't be a simple place."

Su Qingqing chuckled softly, "Don't fret. The idiot is practically unkillable. Only you would worry over him like this. If you ask me, the one destined to kill him has yet to be born. Our task is to hold the line here and not falter."

Chen Nan plunged into the cave, where demonic qi billowed towards the heavens, and countless demons continued to surge outwards.

Recognizing the potential danger to his junior sisters despite their strength, Chen Nan gritted his teeth and activated his Divine Fire Avatar. Instantly, six Divine Fire Avatars materialized within the cave, directly confronting the overwhelming demonic qi.

The clash between the Divine Fire Avatars and the demonic qi produced a sharp crackling sound. To Chen Nan's surprise, the Divine Fire Avatars began to weaken under the onslaught of the demonic qi.

Simultaneously, the aggressive demonic qi was steadily consumed by the Divine Fire Avatars. The Purple Divine Fire possessed the power to incinerate even Supreme Experts, and while this demonic qi was potent, it was ultimately devoid of sentience, lacking true spiritual wisdom.

The cave entrance, initially small, expanded as Chen Nan descended. However, the demonic qi grew exponentially more terrifying. The durability of his Divine Fire Avatars, usually considerable, was now reduced to less than two-tenths of their original capacity.

Chen Nan ceased circulating his Fire Element Heavenly Skill, returning to his true form.

With a powerful yell, the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear materialized in his grasp. He initiated the Eighteen Ways of Tang, unleashing a sweeping barrage against the ceaseless stream of demons.

"Hissing..."

With each swing of the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear, legions of demons were stripped of their power.

"Incredible. After merging with the third spear segment, the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear not only absorbs enemy cultivation but also this demonic qi, which the Purple Divine Fire itself cannot fully refine."

As an unending torrent of demonic qi flowed into his body via the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear, Chen Nan found it peculiar that this pure demonic qi vanished without a trace upon entering him, causing his own cultivation to continuously ascend.

"This is amazing! This sensation of constant growth is precisely what I've been pursuing in battle."

He didn't dwell on the mechanism, assuming his Chaos Sacred Body was transforming the absorbed demonic qi, explaining his lack of any adverse effects.

Chen Nan executed seventeen of the Tang ways in rapid succession. In the final, decisive moment, he unleashed the eighteenth way, Heaven and Earth Unification. This ultimate technique encapsulated the entirety of the preceding seventeen. As Chen Nan performed it, the very structure of the cave began to crumble around him.

"Earth Element Heaven Technique!"

Instinctively, Chen Nan activated the Earth Element Heaven Technique, his form flowing through the soil. In the blink of an eye, the collapsing earth layers swiftly passed before him. In the very next second, Chen Nan found himself in an underground world.

Within this Secret Realm's subterranean realm, a dark river inexplicably flowed. This river bubbled ominously, and more frighteningly, with every bubble that surfaced, a demon was born.

The surging demonic qi originated precisely from this very dark river.

The instant Chen Nan materialized, countless bubbles erupted from the dark river. The entire waterway appeared to boil, churning endlessly.

One demon after another clawed its way out, lunging ferociously towards Chen Nan.

"These demons actually emerge from this river; it's truly strange. Who knows what unique properties lie within this water to grant it such potent abilities?"

Chen Nan was profoundly shocked. The dark river's demonic birth clearly commenced the moment they descended into this place.

"Could Ghost Venerable's scheme center on this, intending for me to perish here?"

A thought flickered through Chen Nan’s mind, but he quickly dismissed it. He sensed that Ghost Venerable's objective was subtly intertwined with his senior brother, Demon Path Supreme.

"To cause my demise, there's no need for so many to accompany me to the grave. Besides, even with Ghost Venerable's peculiar nature, with the Heaven Punishment Alliance on the rise, if he truly wished to kill me, he'd be better off obliterating this Human World, something he would never do."

Chen Nan mused internally, "Could Ghost Venerable be aiming to resurrect Demon Path Supreme? That's not entirely impossible, especially with the Heart Demon residing within my body. If the Divine Demon Skeletons from the Land of Gods and Demons were utilized as a foundation, resurrecting Demon Path Supreme might not be unthinkable."

"However, reviving a Supreme Expert should not be this straightforward. Demon Path Supreme's might far surpassed even the Dragon Emperor's; his resurrection undoubtedly involved numerous arduous trials, making a swift, single-attempt revival unlikely."

While immersed in his thoughts, Chen Nan channeled the Chaotic Power within his Chaos Sacred Body, absorbing the recently acquired Earth attribute divine stone. Within this Secret Realm, cultivating the Earth Element Heaven Technique offered significant advantages, granting him unhindered passage through the subterranean depths.

At that precise moment, the dark river's water churned once more. Chen Nan watched as pitch-black skulls emerged from the depths, their hollow eyes fixing upon him, scrutinizing him as if he were already a walking corpse.
