School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1885 - 1971: Outer Domain Battlefield 8

"What purpose does this Blood Pond serve?" Chen Nan inquired, his curiosity piqued.

"Naturally, it is for cultivation. Esteemed Daoist, your power is immense, yet you are unaware of our Blood Martial Hall’s Blood Pond?" The Half-step Supreme, previously dealt a heavy blow by Chen Nan, retorted with a snort.

Having retreated to his own domain, this Half-step Supreme seemed to have regained a measure of his former confidence.

Chen Nan responded with a smile, "I have never claimed that being powerful equates to knowing all the world’s mysteries."

Following their escort into a serene chamber in another courtyard, the two Half-step Supremes summoned attending servants before taking their leave.

Their severe injuries necessitated a period of recuperation.

Not long after Chen Nan and Ou Yifei had settled in, refreshments and an assortment of fruits were presented. These Heavenly Beings, in essence, bore little distinction from humans, save for a marginally superior innate talent.

From birth, the Heavenly race possesses an elevated aptitude, appearing as though favored by the very Dao of Heaven, which greatly facilitates their cultivation journey.

What truly captured Chen Nan’s attention was the Spiritual Tea offered by the Heavenly Beings. This particular brew was imbued with a substantial quantity of Spiritual Power, proving beneficial for enhancing cultivation, even at his present stage.

Mere moments after they had taken their seats, one of the grievously wounded Half-step Supremes reappeared. It appeared he had ingested a Spirit Pill, as his condition had stabilized, and his physical wounds showed marked improvement.

"Senior Xue Sha is hosting a banquet at another location for the two of you. We would be honored if you would proceed there, esteemed Daoists."

This Half-step Supreme exhibited a polite demeanor, a smile gracing his features.

However, Chen Nan sensed an underlying disquiet; the man’s smile struck him as disingenuous.

He cast a glance at Ou Yifei, who transmitted a Divine Thought directly into Chen Nan’s mind: "Xue Sha, Xue Zhan, and Blood Blade—these three wield profound power. At present, we cannot perceive their true strength. It would be wise to consult the Haotian Tower for a measure of confidence."

Chen Nan attempted to summon the Haotian Tower, but the diminutive artifact remained unresponsive. Ever since it had seized that Treasure Bone from the Demon Clan Supreme, it had adopted an increasingly elusive disposition.

He sighed internally, "The Small Tower is occupied with its own affairs and offers no reply. I shall employ my Divine Sense to ascertain the number of experts present."

Chen Nan conducted a scan of the surroundings and was left astounded, detecting the auras of more than five Supremes. Three of these were likely Blood Zhan and his associates. It was astonishing that this single Blood Martial Hall harbored five Supremes; such formidable power was truly terrifying.

While he had considered the considerable number of Supremes among the Heavenly race, he had never envisioned a solitary Blood Martial Hall possessing multiple Supreme experts, a force sufficient to stagger any observer, even if their might did not directly rival that of the Nine Netherworld Evil Emperor.

"Yifei, with such a multitude of Supremes within this single Blood Martial Hall, how many Supremes does their entire faction command?" Chen Nan could not refrain from posing the question.

The two exchanged Divine Thoughts, a reaction that caused the Half-step Supreme’s expression to shift into an awkward contortion.

Chen Nan felt a strong inclination to probe further but suppressed the urge to speak.

As Chen Nan and Ou Yifei followed in the wake of the Half-step Supreme, a sense of unease settled upon them. The three Supremes did not strike one as individuals who would treat guests with such discourtesy on their own grounds, dragging them around as if they were mere pawns; it simply did not align with their perceived character.

"It appears we are walking into a trap. Exercise caution. Aside from those three seemingly reasonable individuals, there are two additional Supremes within this Blood Martial Hall," Chen Nan cautioned Ou Yifei.

The pair proceeded onward, following the Half-step Supreme.

The Heavenly Beings’ Palace was a marvel of ingenious architecture, incorporating not only the natural beauty of mountains and flowing water but also celestial bodies like stars, the sun, and the moon, apparently fashioned from some form of luminous gemstones.

Nevertheless, the overall impression was one of extreme opulence.

The trio soon reached the vicinity of a serene lake, where a gracefully winding bridge extended towards its center. The Half-step Supreme led the way, announcing that three Supremes awaited them within the pavilion situated at the lake’s heart.

Chen Nan directed his Divine Sense towards the lake and detected a formidable prohibition array imposed upon its surface, rendering any penetration impossible.

This situation bore all the hallmarks of a poorly concealed ploy; there was no doubt that the pavilion at the lake's center was merely a ruse, and not the actual location of Blood Zhan and his companions.

"We are nearing our destination. Within the palace, various prohibitions are in place for security reasons. I trust you two will graciously overlook any inconvenience this may cause," the Half-step Supreme continued, fully immersed in his deceptive role.

At that precise moment, Chen Nan experienced an overwhelming impulse. He was about to seize Ou Yifei and make their escape when, abruptly, the Half-step Supreme vanished from sight, seemingly absorbed by a nearby Formation.

In the ensuing instant, tens of thousands of resplendent Blood Lights erupted from the lake’s surface. These Blood Lights, imbued with an immense, unyielding murderous intent, twisted and intertwined, ensnaring Chen Nan and Ou Yifei within their deadly embrace.

Standing outside the encirclement, the Half-step Supreme and his earlier companion observed Chen Nan with smug satisfaction. Concurrently, two imposing Supreme experts emerged from the depths of the lake water.

Two formidable experts were operating this blood-hued Formation. One of them sported a look of contempt, questioning, "Merely a Heavenly Lord, and you claim this brat severely injured you both?"

The other Supreme expert licked his lips, remarking, "Had I not found that young lady to be the most breathtaking beauty, I would never have assisted you today."

With evident disappointment, the two Supremes addressed the two Half-step Supremes. "Why the apprehension? Come now, this brat is already ensnared by the two of us. Regardless of whether he is a Heavenly Lord or a Supreme, escape is impossible today."

"Before long, this brat will dissolve into mere pus. As for the young lady, tsk, tsk, tonight she belongs to me," the tall and emaciated Supreme leered at Ou Yifei, practically salivating.

Ou Yifei's appearance was, without a doubt, the world's most exceptionally beautiful, peerless and unmatched.

The short and stout Supreme expressed his displeasure, "Fat Pumpkin, I had my eye on that young lady first; why do you get to claim her tonight? I'm quite fond of her; let me have her!"

Chen Nan almost erupted into laughter. Was this short and stout Supreme either blind or mentally unsound to call the tall, thin one 'Fat Pumpkin'?

However, in the very next instant, he was utterly bewildered. The tall and thin Supreme, also displeased, retorted to the shorter one, "You scrawny wretch, you've always snatched what I desired for millennia. Now that I've finally found a lass I fancy, you intend to steal her too?"

Chen Nan rubbed his eyes, turned to Ou Yifei, and stated, "Damn it, I thought they were blind. Is it some sort of illusion, or have I encountered two utter fools?"

Ou Yifei offered a wry smile. "You can still laugh? Quickly devise an escape strategy while they are embroiled in their argument."

Trapped within the Formation, its immense power, stealthily unleashed by the two Supremes, was undeniable. Despite Ou Yifei's current formidable skills, he dared not exercise recklessness, clearly sensing the exceptionally fierce aura emanating from within the Formation.

Within this treacherous Formation, their Divine Power would soon be depleted, their spirits utterly drained.

If Chen Nan perished, she certainly could not survive either; whatever the short and tall Supremes intended to do to her would become utterly futile.

Her heart pounded with anxiety, yet she observed Chen Nan chuckling. "No need to rush our escape; observing their Blood Pond has merely piqued my interest. I never expected these individuals to bring such a substantial Blood Pond for me."

His eyes pulsed with an imprint of the Five Elements Wheel, penetrating the shimmering lake and revealing it to be a colossal Blood Pond, far more terrifying than any previously encountered. These two had employed a Blinding Technique to activate the Formation.

This technique could amplify the Formation's potency by a factor of twelve.

In the following moment, Chen Nan's thoughts shifted; he extended a hand, and amidst the incessant bickering between the short and tall Supremes, a Blood Gourd materialized in his palm.
