School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1877 - 1963: Desolate Divine Dragon Armor (Part 2)
Previously on School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master...
Chen Nan's comprehension of reality was once again shaken. His initial belief was that cultivating the Five Elements Heavenly Technique to a level comparable to his Fire Element Heavenly Skill would signify ultimate completion.
However, the Dragon Emperor's pronouncement instantly shattered this notion.
"It's nothing significant; don't let it discourage you. You haven't yet reached the Supreme realm, so it's understandable that your perspective is somewhat limited." The Dragon Emperor offered a gentle smile, resembling a friendly neighbor.
"Much like your Chaos Sacred Body, your Five Elements Heavenly Technique is also categorized from First Rank to Ninth Rank. As for what lies beyond Ninth Rank, our knowledge is incomplete. What you currently perceive as 'grand completion' is merely the First-Order Peak. Nevertheless, you possess the capability to contend with a Supreme First Layer cultivator."
The Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor continued his explanation to Chen Nan.
The very moment Chen Nan absorbed all the power contained within the Chaos Stone, a palpable surge in his Cultivation Realm was felt by all present.
He had initially been at the Mid-stage Heavenly Monarch Realm, but his Realm began to ascend rapidly. In a mere instant, he had already advanced to the Late Stage of Heavenly Monarch.
"The path of Cultivation emphasizes proceeding naturally. Chen Nan, you have already embraced this Dao with remarkable fluidity." The Dragon Emperor observed Chen Nan, emitting a hearty chuckle.
At the precise instant his Realm escalated to the Late Stage of Heavenly Monarch, the Ancient Shield, the Heavenly Stone Battle Armor, and the Dragon Emperor's True Body essence underwent a complete fusion. During this moment of coalescence, a dragon's roar echoed through the Void, piercing directly into the Nine Heavens.
An Armor, appearing simple yet ancient, heavy yet magnificent and exceedingly noble, materialized upon Chen Nan's form. Adorning this Armor were countless dragon shadows, twisting and turning as if poised to burst forth at any moment.
Chen Nan channeled his Divine Power, and the Armor instantly erupted with ten thousand rays of light. A defensive power capable of withstanding all assaults manifested, simultaneously bestowing upon him unparalleled combat strength.
"This Battle Armor is extraordinary. Even for us Supreme Experts, acquiring such an Armor would be akin to bestowing wings upon a tiger." The Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor gazed at Chen Nan's Battle Armor, his eyes betraying a hint of envy.
"Senior Nine Netherworld, you aren't contemplating making a move on my Battle Armor, are you?" Chen Nan inquired playfully.
The Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor let out a deep laugh. "This Battle Armor was refined by you using Chaotic Power and Purple Divine Fire, and it is also imbued with your Divine Soul Mark. Even if I possessed it, it would be rendered useless. However, speaking of Armor, I did come across quite a few during my time on the Ancient God Demon Battlefield."
The Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor felt an immense sense of regret. When he departed from that place previously, his sole focus had been revenge, and he neglected to bring any of it back. Now, his accumulated wealth paled in comparison to Chen Nan's.
"Chen Nan, have you decided upon a name for this Battle Armor?" the Dragon Emperor inquired.
Chen Nan considered for a moment. "This Battle Armor is the result of the fusion of the Ancient Shield, Heavenly Stone Battle Armor, and your True Body essence, Senior. How about we call it the Desolate Divine Dragon Armor?"
"Excellent, excellent, excellent. The Desolate Divine Dragon Armor, complemented by your Golden Phoenix Winged Spear, creates a perfect synergy. Splendid!"
The Demon Path Supreme observed the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear in Chen Nan's hand, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes, too subtle for others to discern.
With the successful fusion of the Desolate Divine Dragon Armor and Chen Nan's breakthrough to the Late Stage of Heavenly Monarch, it was a moment of double fortune. A general air of good spirits permeated the group.
Chen Nan glanced toward the Demon Path Supreme. "Senior, can we proceed to the Outer Domain Battlefield next?"
The Demon Path Supreme gave a slight nod. A wry smile formed on the corner of the Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor's lips. "Before we depart, allow me to eradicate all the Birdmen in this Star Domain, ensuring they cease their disturbances in the Human World."
He brandished the rune-etched chains in his grasp, his Killing Aura emanating with chilling ferocity.
"Nine Netherworld, your title as Evil Emperor implies a profound aversion to succumbing entirely to the Demon Path. While these Birdmen are indeed reprehensible, this task is not incumbent upon you." The Dragon Emperor smiled faintly, radiating confidence.
"Then, shall we let Chen Nan handle it?" The Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor directed his gaze towards Chen Nan. "This brat acquired the Innate Spirit Treasure, the Blood Gourd. Any amassed baleful aura can be purified by this Innate Spiritual Treasure."
"Chen Nan, what are your thoughts on this proposal?"
The Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor regarded Chen Nan. While it sounded like a question, refusal was not an option, considering the Heavenly People Clan's immense threat to the Human World. Chen Nan let out a hearty laugh, gesturing towards the distant Star Domain. "For millennia, the Ancient Three Great Forces and the various powers scattered across the Star Domain, though not as ostentatious as the Twelve Palaces of the Heavenly People, possessed the strength to rival the Heavenly People Clan." "If we were to personally annihilate every last member of the Heavenly People Clan, then the forces our Heaven Punishment Alliance has meticulously cultivated would be left without adversaries. The Three Great Forces, and even Demon God Mountain, would lose their targets... This would prove to be the gravest calamity for the Human World." He paused, a flicker of thought crossing his features. "The strength of the Human Clan within the Panlong Star Domain has already secured a dominant position. Growth can only be achieved through conflict. Subsequently, the exceptional elites can venture to the Outer Domain Battlefield, or establish even more formidable powers within the Human World. These 'Birdmen' can serve as a crucial proving ground." Following Chen Nan's pronouncement, the three supreme experts offered slight nods of assent. Smiling, the Demon Path Supreme remarked, "Whether it was during the ancient eras, repelling the incursions of the Ancient Gods and Demons, or during the protracted war against the Heavenly People Clan, it was our collective strength that saw us through. The might of a single individual is, after all, finite." He thereby validated Chen Nan's strategic proposal. Liu Tiantian scurried to Chen Nan's side, her expression one of clear concern. "Husband, if we don't completely eradicate those Birdmen, what if they decide to cause trouble on Earth?" This apprehension was not without basis. However, after careful consideration, Chen Nan still conveyed his disagreement with a shake of his head. "The Heaven Punishment Alliance possesses sufficient might to contend with the Heavenly People Clan, not to mention the presence of other aiding forces. Although Earth and the Panlong Star Domain both fall under the umbrella of the Human World, Earth is protected by the Demon Suppression Array, meticulously established by Ghost Venerable, with the Demon Suppressing Cauldron positioned at its Array Eye. Any disturbance, however minor, would be instantly detected." "However, this does not imply we will refrain from exercising force. Once we have comprehensively dismantled the Heavenly People Clan's Outer Domain forces, we can then proceed to thoroughly purge them from within the Human World. With the external threat neutralized, we can address and resolve internal dissent as well." "Exceptional individuals emerge in every era. In ancient times, had the Immortal and Demon paths possessed a strategist of Chen Nan's caliber, our devastating losses would have been averted. But now that this sovereign has returned, I shall ensure the Heavenly People Clan pays their blood debt in kind." The Demon Path Supreme's imposing aura was utterly peerless. "Chen Nan, the Pu Li Strange Beast currently resides within the Haotian Tower. Now that its master has been resurrected, you should return it to its rightful owner," the Demon Path Supreme suddenly addressed Chen Nan. Chen Nan blinked in surprise. The Demon Path Supreme was aware that Pu Li's Inner Core had been shattered; why would he make such a statement? Then, as he perceived the Demon Path Supreme's knowing wink, he instantly recognized his own momentary lapse in understanding. Dragon Emperor stood as the paramount leader of the Demon Clan; even Cang Yue, the esteemed Lord of Demon God Mountain, deferred to his authority. If any being in this world possessed the capability to save Pu Li, it was undoubtedly the Dragon Emperor. The Demon Path Supreme was clearly offering him a subtle hint. Chen Nan hastily gestured, retrieving Pu Li from within the Haotian Tower. "Senior Dragon Emperor, Pu Li was grievously injured while aiding me previously, its inner core shattered. I implore you, please, save its life." The Fire Qilin, the Black Feathered Chicken, the Ape Ancestor, and the Black Forest Demon King all fixed their gazes upon the Dragon Emperor with fervent intensity. The Demon Clan lineage was bound by shared blood and unified branches.
