School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1868 - 1954: Resurrection of the Demon Path Supreme 6
Previously on School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master...
The moment Mo Qing started to extricate himself from Chen Nan's being, his intent was to vanish into the void, although his former swiftness had diminished considerably.
As Mo Qing departed from the Sea of Consciousness, an immediate sense of liberation washed over Chen Nan, the crushing sensation instantly dissipating. Almost concomitantly, the voice of the Heart Demon resonated.
"Activate the Formation, lest he abscond!"
Chen Nan was acutely aware that regardless of Mo Qing's formidable power, even as a mere Divine Soul, allowing him to successfully seize a body would render his eventual demise exceedingly improbable.
Indeed, without the Heart Demon's prompt, Chen Nan grasped the situation instantly and immediately initiated the Ancient Mysterious Formation.
He channeled his Divine Power to its utmost capacity, though a mere fraction was sufficient to trigger the Formation. Within moments, hundreds of Formations spanning a vast radius of several hundred miles sprang to life.
In a flash, Mo Qing found himself ensnared within a Formation, and he let out a furious roar, attempting to shatter his confinement.
The subsequent moment saw all the Formations within a hundred-mile radius manifest in the void, tightly encasing him.
When Mo Qing was first ensnared, a sliver of hope for escape persisted; however, by this juncture, all entreaties for liberation had been abandoned.
The hundreds of Formations encircling him implied that any endeavor to break free would only serve to deplete his strength before he could achieve egress.
At this critical juncture, Chen Nan could not refrain from expressing his admiration for the Heart Demon.
"Senior, how did you discern this individual's intention to usurp my body?" Chen Nan inquired with hearty laughter. "Your recent assault was magnificent! This fellow sought to flee after your surprise attack, did he presume us to be easy prey?"
The demonic voice replied, "Chen Nan, your physical form is the Chaos Sacred Body, the paramount constitution within the Four Extremes World. Though this Secret Realm teems with talent, you stand as the ultimate lure."
"Nevertheless, to truly annihilate him, assistance is requisite. Despite his grievous injuries, I remain ignorant of his vulnerabilities."
The Heart Demon exhibited an uncharacteristic humility.
Chen Nan was left momentarily speechless, contemplating the identity of the Heart Demon's intended collaborator. Then, in the distance, the Haotian Tower materialized above the Formation.
Upon its appearance, the Haotian Tower chuckled, "Chen Nan, I had not anticipated your collaboration with the Heart Demon to entrap this adversary."
"Little Tower, how did you ascertain the Heart Demon's intervention on my behalf?" Chen Nan marveled at the acuity of the Little Tower's perception.
"I chanced upon this scoundrel within a palace wherein I was conducting my search. Initially, I assumed his aim was to forcibly acquire the Netherworld Demonic Energy, but quite unexpectedly, he sought to commandeer your physique. A grave miscalculation on his part."
The Haotian Tower conveyed its assessment with a shake of its head, and after a swift evaluation of the numerous Ancient Secret Formations, it promptly plunged into the Formation.
A nascent impulse to caution it arose in Chen Nan, but observing that the Haotian Tower had already thoroughly assessed the Ancient Mysterious Formation, he restrained himself.
With both the Heart Demon and the Haotian Tower acting in concert, the eradication of Mo Qing ought to be achievable, Chen Nan surmised.
His heart was entwined with the well-being of all, fervently wishing for Mo Qing's decisive defeat. Much like the Ancient Divine Worm, Mo Qing possessed the capacity for bodily inhabitation, and once ensconced within someone in the Secret Realm, he could assimilate their memories, perfectly mimicking them, thereby rendering everyone in proximity a potential victim.
The sinister demonic aura emanating from this individual betrayed his merciless disposition. Should he manage to escape, the entirety of the Secret Realm could face annihilation this very day.
"Demon Lord, why have we not yet commenced our engagement?"
Chen Nan observed the Haotian Tower unleashing its might to assail Mo Qing. Mo Qing found himself at a severe disadvantage, utterly suppressed and incapable of mounting any resistance.
Witnessing this spectacle, Chen Nan should have felt exhilarated, anticipating Mo Qing's imminent demise; however, an unsettling premonition lingered.
The Haotian Tower should have sufficed against an injured Mo Qing, yet the Heart Demon had intimated the necessity of both their powers, and he still remained quiescent.
Was the true essence of the Heart Demon, a supreme entity of the Demon Path who once bestrode the Four Extremes World unchallenged, truly prepared to align with another?
The solitary instance of cooperation he could recall was during the ancient conflict when the Heavenly People Clan launched their myriad invasions. Now, with Mo Qing so gravely wounded, would he truly forge an alliance with the Haotian Tower?
Chen Nan found this notion difficult to accept.
At that precise moment, he felt an unmistakable attempt by the Heart Demon to wrest control of his body, accompanied by a colossal surge of Divine Soul force.
Swift as thought, and before Chen Nan could even register the intent, the Heart Demon had firmly seized control of his physical form. In the subsequent instant, the myriad Ancient Secret Formations suspended in the void began their inexorable movement.
Perceiving this turn of events, the Haotian Tower pivoted, poised for immediate egress.
A demonic whisper from the Heart Demon echoed, "Chen Nan, cease your struggle. Be at ease, for after I utilize your vessel, I shall restore it to its original form, perhaps even bestowing certain advantages. For the present, however, possession must be mine."
Instantly, immense power surged forth from the hundreds of Ancient Secret Formations; interconnected and intertwined, they transformed the previous arrangement of arrays into a singular, colossal, and far more formidable Great Formation.
Within this newly established Formation, both the Haotian Tower and Mo Qing found themselves instantly suppressed. The Haotian Tower attempted to break free, yet its efforts were in vain, unable to penetrate the overwhelming might.
"Heart Demon, you insidious fiend! Attempting to manipulate me? You shall not escape retribution!" Though his Divine Soul was under duress, Chen Nan cursed out in absolute fury.
"Chen Nan, after this imminent conflict concludes, do you truly believe our paths will cross again? Back in the Ancient Era, my aspiration was to depart the Four Extremes World. Little did I anticipate stumbling upon such a golden opportunity at long last."
"Upon my resurrection, your benevolent assistance will not be forgotten," the Heart Demon proclaimed with a chilling laugh.
Overwhelmed with rage, Chen Nan violently spat blood, utterly incapable of regaining dominion over his own body.
His intention was to employ the World Origin Power, acquired from the Primordial Heavenly Palace, to reawaken the Abyss Divine Tree. However, the Abyss Divine Tree, having recently expended its energy, had entered a state of hibernation.
This profound sense of helplessness only intensified Chen Nan's yearning for ultimate power.
With the Heart Demon now piloting Chen Nan's physical form, Barrages of attacks erupted from the Great Formation, targeting Mo Qing and the Haotian Tower ensnared within its confines.
"Heart Demon, you dare to lay schemes against the Small Tower as well? Damnation! Merely borrowing the might of a formation will not suffice to vanquish me. What is your true objective?"
The Haotian Tower, rotating within the void, unleashed potent beams of energy in a bid to counteract the Formation's onslaught.
"I have no need to annihilate you. My sole requirement is to secure a temporary borrowing from your presence. As long as you cooperate, all will proceed smoothly."
As the sinister voice continued its pronouncements, in the very next moment, the Double-headed Sky Demon harbored within the Haotian Tower began to writhe in fury. Simultaneously, the voice of the Ancient Soul launched successive assaults upon the Haotian Tower.
Assailed by threats from both within and without, the Haotian Tower's radiant glow faltered, rendering it exceedingly vulnerable.
Yet, it showed no inclination to yield, defiantly retorting, "Heart Demon, have you underestimated my capabilities? Do you not fear that I might unleash the Life and Death Reincarnation Secret Method, thereby reviving Mo Qing and leading us all to mutual destruction?"
