That Holy Bone Relic manifested as a sun in outer space within the Void Illusion Realm. Chen Nan didn’t know whether it was just an illusion or something else, but the Abyss Divine Tree absolutely existed for real.
At the instant he activated the Holy Bone Relic, the sunlight in that Void Illusion Realm burst into blazing golden radiance, the branches of the Abyss Divine Tree began to grow, while that Ancient Demon Soul was suppressed by this golden light and instantly became incomparably weak.
"Spare me, master, spare me. I... I am willing to submit to master, to accept master’s commands. Blade mountains and fire seas—I will not flinch."
Although this Ancient Demon Soul had lived for tens of thousands of years and had pride in his bones, at this moment he also understood that this person before him, though not terrifying in strength, controlled his entire Life and Death in this Void Illusion Realm.
"Not bad, that’s more like it. Accept my Divine Thought, and from now on we can communicate with each other. You help me, and I can let you return to your Ancient Peak." A strand of Chen Nan’s Divine Thought was transmitted over.
The reason this Ancient Demon Soul had attached himself to that weapon on the Outer Realm God Demon Battlefield and was eventually refined into a Demon Soul Nail was largely because his Divine Soul was incomparably weak. Otherwise, even if a Supreme King wanted to keep him, it would’ve been nearly impossible.
He had originally thought that with his lifeline firmly in Chen Nan’s grasp, he could only drag out an ignoble existence, at the other’s mercy. He hadn’t expected that this Human would actually be willing to help him restore his Cultivation.
"You... are you telling the truth?"
The Ancient Demon Soul’s voice trembled a little. He had died in the Ancient era, his consciousness muddled and befogged for countless Time, and had long since given up the last sliver of hope of returning to his Peak.
In the Outer Domain, it was nothing rare to stun the world in a single day; talents appeared in an endless stream. But for an East Mountain to rise again, for a King to return, was exceedingly difficult.
"Of course it’s true. I will only grow stronger and stronger. As my servant, you naturally have to grow stronger as well, otherwise how can you keep up with my combat power?"
Chen Nan chuckled. "Right now, compared to you, my strength is still relatively weak. Otherwise I wouldn’t need to leave an imprint on your Divine Soul. As long as you are loyal enough, one day I’ll not only let your strength return to its Peak, I’ll even give you freedom."
"I... why should I believe you?"
When the Ancient Demon Soul asked this question, most of the Defense in his heart had already dropped. This brat already held control over him; there was no need to waste time lying to him. His promise was very likely real.
"Why? Before this, you were muddle-headed, with only the most primitive consciousness left in your Spiritual Wisdom. Now that things have changed, you really haven’t felt it?" Chen Nan said with a smile.
This Ancient Demon Soul’s eyes rolled, and in his gaze quickly surfaced a look of terror. "You... I... why has my Divine Soul’s power increased here? I’ve actually recovered my ability to think..."
Only now did he react. The consciousness he’d retained had only been a vicious primal instinct, completely incapable of thought, driven only to devour, which was why he’d been refined into the Demon Soul Nail.
"This is my ability. All right, now enter your body."
With a single thought from Chen Nan, that Demon Venerable Avatar body appeared in the Void Illusion Realm.
When the Ancient Demon Soul saw it, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed. "This is actually a Demon Venerable Avatar! Even though its Cultivation has been greatly damaged, its quality is absolutely no worse than my original flesh body. Good, good, good!"
He spat out three "good"s in a row, and in the blink of an eye, he burrowed into that Demon Venerable Avatar.
Chen Nan withdrew the wisp of Divine Thought he had left in the Demon Venerable Avatar to control it.
He now had a Soul Imprint. Even if this Ancient Demon Soul fled to the ends of the earth, with just a single thought, he could reduce the other to ash. Naturally, he was not afraid of this demon rebelling.
"From now on you’re my Demon Slave. All right, you can stay here and recover properly. When I need you, I’ll summon you." Once Chen Nan finished transmitting his Divine Thought, he shifted his gaze back to that Sky Bat Clan super supreme expert.
Seeing the opponent who had been so aggressive earlier now bleeding from his seven orifices and looking like an idiot, Chen Nan gave a faint smile.
He raised his voice and said, "Lord Wei, my apologies—couldn’t control my strength. This Guardian God Soul of Yellow Wind City seems to have had a bit of an accident."
What "a bit of an accident"? Clearly, he had attacked him until his Divine Sense scattered and he’d become an idiot.
Wei Yixiao was so furious in his heart he almost spat blood. He knew Chen Nan was provoking him, yet he still maintained a smiling face.
"Chen Nan, this waste wanted to kill you. Even if you didn’t kill him, I would have."
Looking at him, Chen Nan laughed loudly. "So to Lord Wei he’s already a piece of trash? Haha, then I’ll just make use of this trash."
The Golden Phoenix Winged Spear in Chen Nan’s hand thrust straight into this super supreme expert’s heart.
The next moment, a Blood Dragon roared out, about to devour his Cultivation. Just then, a strange tree root appeared on Chen Nan’s body. This root was extremely tiny, like a meridian. It pierced out from the location of Chen Nan’s Sea of Consciousness, extended down his arm, then clung onto the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear and suddenly burrowed into the body of this Sky Bat Clan super supreme expert.
"Damn it, Abyss Divine Tree, you again!" The instant Chen Nan saw it, he knew the Abyss Divine Tree was stretching out its hand again, and he looked utterly helpless.
He was just regretting it when he felt a thick, majestic Cultivation being sucked by the Blood Dragon into the storage space of the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear.
"Huh, that shameless Abyss Divine Tree actually didn’t absorb this super supreme’s Cultivation, and only sucked away the Sky Bat Clan’s Essence Blood."
Chen Nan’s heart was shaken. He watched that tree root retract, then looked toward the Abyss Divine Tree in the Void Illusion Realm World and saw a rune on its body flicker in and out.
"It seems it absorbed the Sky Bat Clan’s bloodline. Just what is the origin of this Abyss Divine Tree, that it can directly seize the bloodline of the Sky Bat Demon Clan?" Chen Nan was inwardly shocked.
If not for the Holy Bone Relic, he simply wouldn’t have been able to see this.
Watching the strongest person under the Sky Bat Clan’s Supreme King in Yellow Wind City turn to ash beneath his Golden Phoenix Winged Spear, Wei Yixiao’s knuckles clenched so hard they turned white.
"That weapon is so strong. That waste might not have been that powerful, but to have his Cultivation and Essence Blood drained in an instant is truly unbelievable." Wei Yixiao muttered inwardly.
He had not noticed the Abyss Divine Tree’s move at all. On top of coveting the Kui Water Crystal, he now also set his sights on the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear.
"This Heavenly Dao Pavilion has not only eight layers but also a Ninth Layer. There should be a Supreme King guarding the ring up there. It’s a pity that with my current strength, I don’t dare challenge it." Chen Nan glanced at the Ninth Layer and shook his head.
The next moment, he walked out of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion and landed before the Three Supremes.
"Lord Wei, this Heavenly Dao Pavilion is truly a good place. It’s just a pity my strength is too weak to challenge the Ninth Layer, or it might’ve been a bit interesting." Chen Nan said with a faint smile.
It was as if, to him, killing that super supreme just now wasn’t anything worth being proud of.
Wei Yixiao also smiled. "There are many interesting things. In the next few days, my Hundred Clan Domain’s Nine Cities will be holding the once-in-fifty-years Nine Dragons Ascension. With Brother Chen’s strength, you can be the leading figure for my Yellow Wind City this time. When the time comes, I’ll have the other super supremes cooperate with you fully."
Chen Nan looked at Wei Yixiao with an expression of surprise. "Lord Wei, when did I ever agree to help you participate in the Nine Dragons Ascension?"
