Chapter 1948 - 2034: Top Supreme Tomb
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a power erupted from the top of Haotian Tower, sending shockwaves in all directions.
"Quickly block it! This power contains realm pressure. If it hits the palace, the formation we’ve set up will be destroyed."
Ghost Sovereign let out a sharp shout, and together with Nine Yin Witch and Nine Nether Evil Emperor, they formed a tripartite stance to block the shockwaves. The three great experts all had to step back a few paces to stabilize themselves.
"What a powerful force. Has Chen Nan absorbed the power from that precious bone?"
Nine Nether Evil Emperor stared intently at Haotian Tower, and the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the void. At first, it was just a shadow, but the shadow frantically absorbed nature’s spiritual energy. After several dozen breaths, it finally unveiled its form, revealing Chen Nan.
"Thank you for your hard work, seniors." Chen Nan clasped his hands in salute.
"Chen Nan, this experience of life and death will greatly benefit your future cultivation. However, I’m more curious whether you’ve absorbed that precious bone or not?" Ghost Sovereign looked at Chen Nan with a face full of doubt.
This was not only his confusion, but almost everyone’s present. The power that had just erupted was undeniable, forcing back three major warriors, including Nine Nether Evil Emperor who was a Supreme Seventh Layer expert.
From this, it seemed highly likely that Chen Nan had fused with that precious bone.
However, after coming out of Haotian Tower, apart from a slight change in his aura, Chen Nan’s cultivation had only grown a little, reaching Half-step Supreme Mid Stage, without any other significant changes.
The power contained within the precious bone was potent. In Ghost Sovereign’s opinion, Chen Nan, already strong, could fully promote to Supreme if he absorbed it.
Yet, Chen Nan’s realm showed only marginal growth without substantial change.
"Don’t spread the word about the Domain Lord Relics. Your realm is too low now; the relics have only merged into your body and need to be slowly refined. If exposed, it could bring disaster." A voice was transmitted into Chen Nan’s ear, none other than Haotian Tower.
The voice from Haotian Tower carried a hint of weakness.
"I understand."
Chen Nan nodded. Although everyone was in solidarity within the Human Clan, he had once been schemed by Ghost Sovereign at the cost of Little Heaven Demon leaving him.
"Once bitten by a snake, you fear ropes for ten years." The name of the precious bone was insignificant, but mention Domain Lord Relics, and while there may be no issue from the Human Clan, the Heavenly People Clan would certainly cause trouble if they knew.
It’s known the Heavenly People Clan, since the world’s inception, never had a Supreme breakthrough to Domain Lord Realm, which was what they always pursued, spending significant effort, disregarding falling of countless Supremes to attack Four Extremes World.
If they knew Chen Nan possessed Domain Lord Relics, they wouldn’t remain calm; the ones making moves might be their Supremes.
Four Extremes World has Demon Path Supremes, but for Chen Nan, no matter how strong Demon Path Supremes are, that’s someone else’s power; only that which belongs to oneself is reassuring.
"Master, this Domain Lord Relics contains the essence of a Domain Lord expert’s lifetime. As you refine it, you will discover more benefits. Well, my energy is exhausted and I must enter slumber."
Haotian Tower said: "This won’t take long. The Outer Domain Battlefield is filled with spiritual power; as your cultivation grows and we mutually enhance, I’ll wake up soon. Then, I’ll find a way to resurrect Little Heaven Demon."
After Haotian Tower finished speaking, its voice disappeared completely.
Their divine thought exchanged in a mere instant as Chen Nan recalled Haotian Tower’s words and chuckled at Ghost Sovereign, "Indeed, the precious bone was obtained, with Haotian Tower helping me refine it. However, to bring out its effects will require some time."
"I see, but you’re fortunate nothing happened this time, otherwise, when Xuan Tianji and those old fellows revive, we wouldn’t know how to explain."
Ghost Sovereign laughed heartily.
Words without intent, listeners with intent.
"Ghost Sovereign Senior, are you implying my master can be revived now?" Chen Nan always kept his master Xuan Tianji in mind, though he never mentioned it, he never forgot.
Ghost Sovereign glanced at Chen Nan, then at Nine Nether Evil Emperor, "Originally, rescuing your master would require killing top-level Supremes of the Heavenly People Clan to infuse their power. But Nine Nether, while chasing the Heavenly People Clan, incidentally encountered a top-level Supreme Tomb from Ancient Times in the void."
"A top-level Supreme Tomb? Is it the tomb of a Heavenly People Clan’s Supreme expert?" Chen Nan pondered that the top-level Supreme Tomb must be extraordinary.
"It’s not necessarily of the Heavenly People Clan. The Outer Domain Battlefield is complex; besides the Heavenly People Clan, there are various races’ cultivators, only their activity range isn’t in this region. They could be Humanoid Race or Beast Race. In any case, the opposing party’s strength reached Supreme top-level tier, containing immense energy."
Ghost Sovereign explained.
Chen Nan nodded. He had once gone hunting for Void Ancient Dragons with the Supremes of the Blood Martial Hall, encountering hundreds of Void Ancient Dragons. In truth, although they are Demon Beasts, in a sense, they are also cultivators, among whom Supremes could arise.
"That top-level Supreme can perish? The energy in that tomb, I fear, isn’t easily obtained." Chen Nan frowned slightly.
Nine Nether Evil Emperor’s face was serious as he nodded, "A top-level Supreme, unless encountering Domain Lord level experts or stronger, would have a chance to be slain in battle. Currently, in the Outer Domain Battlefield, such experts don’t exist; choosing death may have been due to grave injury, not wanting to be found by enemies, or physical destruction, leaving residual soul sheltered in the tomb."
"The arrangements within the tomb prevent even Netherworld from sucking away its divine soul. Given time, its power may recover, allowing it to rise again," Ghost Sovereign analyzed.
"To seize the energy within, one possibility is sheer opportunism; another is facing monstrous power," Ghost Sovereign grinned wryly. "In Ancient Times, the Outer Domain Battlefield once had Supremes feigning death as bait to lure Supremes as food."
"With our current strength, we can’t conduct an assault."
Nine Yin Witch shook her head. After all, Four Extremes World has only one Demon Path Supreme to rely on. If dangers lurk within the tomb and he gets entangled, the Heavenly People’s Supremes could seize the opportunity to attack.
Chen Nan’s expression dimmed slightly, Ou Yifei comforted: "Knowing the tomb’s whereabouts at least gives us hope. We might be lucky, and the top-level Supreme’s residual soul remains in the tomb. Chen Nan, as long as we strive to strengthen, we will surely rescue your master."
Ji Yueshen came alongside, clutching Chen Nan’s arm, "Exactly, husband, there’s no rush. Not just one tomb, even top-level Supremes, we can destroy in the future."
The girl’s attitude was pleasantly optimistic.
Yun Hua was standing at a distance, her eyes darting around, deep in thought.
"Chen Nan, rest assured, we are like grasshoppers tied to the same rope. When you take action, I will exhaust all efforts until death!" Yun Hua declared with great righteousness, yet her gaze betrayed her statement.
