School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1864 - 1950: Resurrection of the Demon Path Sovereign 2
Previously on School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master...
"What utter nonsense about the Supreme Demon Path! I could never be him. You insignificant ants, once I am resurrected, you won't even have a place to perish."
Zhao Han erupted in hearty laughter, "Just you? You were undeniably more potent when alive, but in this current state, you are no different from a vegetable. And you still harbor ambitions of killing us?"
The voice fell into silence, absorbed in some unfathomable contemplation.
"How formidable is this Heart Demon?"
The Fire Qilin's attention was not on the stone statue; his profound concern lay with Chen Nan and all matters concerning him.
Zhao Han chuckled, "Regarding the Heart Demon, even when Chen Nan's strength was minuscule, it could already wield those heaven-defying Chaotic Nine Forms against him, challenging across realms. Within this secret realm, as long as it possesses any Demon God, vanquishing a Supreme would be child's play."
Having merged with the Tao Ancestor Divine Soul, Zhao Han now possessed a systematic understanding of these ancient powers. The likes of the Demon Clan Supreme were not even worthy of carrying his shoes before the Supreme Demon Path. Without his resurrection, a mere Heart Demon could easily dispatch him.
"But they are all Supremes; why such a vast disparity in power? I have heard tales of ancient predecessors who descended to the half-step Supreme Realm. How does their strength compare to that of the Demon Clan Supreme?"
The Fire Qilin felt a sense of bewilderment, his mind struggling to grasp the intricacies.
"Although they are all classified as Supremes, the Earth has entered an Era of Decline, and the Four Extremes World fares no better. Consequently, whether it's the Demon Clan or newly emerged Supremes from other worlds, their might pales significantly in comparison to those ancient powers," Zhao Han sighed with deep emotion.
"I possess the Tao Ancestor Divine Soul, which grants me the ability for realm-crossing challenges. Chen Nan, that young fellow, must possess unconventional qualities. Otherwise, it would be impossible for an ordinary individual to surpass the Heavenly Dao in such realm-crossing confrontations."
Following his declaration, Zhao Han lapsed into deep thought.
After a considerable duration, he abruptly snapped back to attention, "Well, these matters are not for us to ponder at this juncture. Currently, besides the Supreme Demon Path, another formidable entity is poised for resurrection within this very palace, potentially surpassing even the Supreme King in might."
"We must promptly contact Father, consolidate everyone's strength, and prevent the Outer Heaven Demons from achieving their resurrection," stated the Fire Qilin. "However, how shall we extricate ourselves from this palace?"
The instant the Fire Qilin voiced his question, a resounding explosion echoed through the air, and Zhao Han, wielding the Ancient Tower, slammed it against the palace wall, breaching a significant opening.
"When this palace was initially constructed, its defensive capabilities were so immense that even Supreme powerhouses like the Nine Nether Evil Emperor could not withstand them. Yet, the stone statue is clearly leveraging the palace's internal array power, siphoning energy from the secret realm, which has caused the materials to degrade and become vulnerable," Zhao Han remarked as he and the Haotian Tower emerged from the palace. Both man and Divine Beast were slick with sweat. Despite their outward composure within, the palpable intimidation emanating from the stone statue felt akin to an ordinary person confronting royalty.
This generated an internal tremor of fear.
Even Zhao Han himself experienced immense pressure, despite having integrated the Tao Ancestor Divine Soul.
"That stone statue might not be fabricating its claims. If its strength is indeed superior to the Supreme King, we find ourselves in a perilous predicament. Irrespective of whether we provoke it or not, once resurrected, the Four Extremes World could potentially face utter devastation."
Zhao Han declared with a cold tone, "Such an Outer Heaven Demon powerhouse, enduring humiliation in the Four Extremes World while plotting its revival, would be a monumental jest upon returning to their own realm. The most prudent course of action would be to obliterate everything, leaving no trace behind."
"In that case, it would be preferable to allow the Supreme Demon Path to resurrect. This damned stone statue should not be allowed to achieve its resurrection," grumbled the Fire Qilin, emitting a snort of frustration.
Zhao Han could only offer a bitter smile, "Can it truly be prevented from resurrecting merely because you decree it? This secret realm likely exists solely for its resurrection; even an entity like the Ghost Lord might lack the strength to manifest its presence. We should hasten to Chen Nan; concerning the potential destruction of the Four Extremes World, the Heart Demon dwelling within him surely will not remain passive."
The man and the Divine Beast meticulously marked the palace's location, then plunged into the void, soaring towards the deeper recesses of the secret realm.
Scarcely had Zhao Han and the Fire Qilin journeyed a short distance when they bore witness to a ferocious battle erupting afar. Countless demons were relentlessly besieging a group of individuals within the secret realm.
With a mere sweep of his divine sense, Zhao Han immediately pinpointed Ziyun's contingent.
Aside from Chen Nan, Su Qingqing, and Ye Yiyi, all other members had converged, yet they were being overwhelmingly surrounded by hundreds of demons from the Demon God Realm, presenting a spectacle of immense scale.
Zhao Han and the Fire Qilin exchanged a look, and without a word, they descended to offer assistance. As they drew nearer, they realized the hundreds of Demon Gods weren’t their primary concern.
The greater issue stemmed from those half-step Supreme Realm demons; though their souls were mere remnants, their ferocity was undeniable.
Twelve demons at the half-step Supreme Level had managed to inflict wounds upon the Ape Ancestor, the Black Forest Demon King, and Ziyun’s contingent. Yunlong Heavenly Monarch was pummeled to the point of expelling blood, the Sky Dragon King lost a significant amount of scale armor, and his body was consequently drawn into the chaotic melee.
Huo Xinya and Chu Wenrou found themselves repeatedly ambushed, their counter-attacks eliciting coughs of blood. Among this desperate group, the most formidable was Yun Hua, who fought with blood streaming down her face, appearing perpetually on the verge of annihilation yet possessing power enough to destroy. She alone, with her strength at the half-step Supreme Peak, annihilated two half-step Supreme Level demons in such a brief span, a truly breathtaking spectacle.
Witnessing this, Ziyun and the others abandoned any thought of pursuing the path to ultimate realization; such extremity was utterly beyond their reach.
Yunlong Heavenly Monarch also offered a wry smile, stating, "I once aspired to follow my sister’s path but could never truly grasp it. Seeing that all of you struggle to comprehend it as well provides some measure of relief."
Possessing such an immensely powerful sister certainly presented its challenges.
"Yunlong, you’re far more contemptible than Chicken Lord… hahaha, but Chicken Lord relishes it!"
The Black Feathered Chicken guffawed, its Devil Core diligently absorbing and refining demonic power without pause, never giving thought to pursuing some nonsensical path, always observing with keen anticipation.
With a declaration, the Black Feathered Chicken instantly dispatched a Demon God with a single swipe of its claw.
...
While the others engaged in their strenuous combat, Chen Nan, accompanied by two women, found himself in no better a situation. They had lost contact with the Haotian Tower and had been unable to reconnect since.
Furthermore, he discovered that venturing forward revealed no sign of their group.
"How peculiar, it appears an unseen force has intervened, preventing me from locating them," Chen Nan mused, pausing in the void after acknowledging Ye Yiyi and Su Qingqing.
In the subsequent moment, the Heart Demon’s voice echoed, "Chen Nan, you perceived my blinding technique, yet time is rapidly running out."
The Heart Demon, its voice laced with devilish malice, continued, "You need not search for your companions any longer; remain here and await, and by this deity’s command, erect the Ancient Secret Array to facilitate my true body’s return!"
"Why do you assume I would assist you?"
Chen Nan, having been manipulated by the Heart Demon and worried for Ziyun and the others, felt his heart burn with incandescent rage.
