Chapter 1955 - 2041: Slaughtering the Ruthless Ancestor
The speed of the Dragon Emperor is incredibly fast; his true form is a five-clawed Divine Dragon spanning several million zhang, so immense it’s boundless.
However, this Outer Domain is equally vast, so even such a gigantic Dragon Emperor barely makes an impression here.
Just a quarter-hour into their flight, Chen Nan spotted a towering mountain piercing the sky in the distant void. On the mountainside, a palace was embedded.
Three large characters were inscribed on that palace: Jueqing Cliff.
When enemies meet, their eyes turn bloodshot with rage.
Chen Nan remembered the grudge from that day clearly; now with the formidable Dragon Emperor as his bodyguard, he felt a little smug. However, dealing with the Heavenly People Clan required no sense of honor.
"Senior Dragon Emperor, there’s a foe of mine here, the sect master of a first-class Heavenly People Clan sect. Why don’t we conveniently kill him?" Chen Nan laughed sinisterly.
"Alright, but this Outer Domain Battlefield is rich in Spiritual Energy. Once we drive out the Heavenly People Clan, this could serve as a place for cultivation. Don’t destroy the palace. You go lure him out."
The Dragon Emperor gestured to Chen Nan, who was speechless. The Dragon Emperor’s foresight was truly beyond his reach. They hadn’t even suppressed everyone yet, and he was already planning their assets?
Without hesitation, as the Dragon Emperor concealed himself in the void, Chen Nan landed on Jueqing Cliff. "Trash of Jueqing Cliff, your Grandpa Chen is here. Are you not coming out to greet me?"
A Divine Skill struck the great door, causing it to rumble and provoking the Array’s attack, which Chen Nan deftly evaded.
The Guardian Array of Jueqing Cliff was akin to that of Leisure Palace, a formation he was already well acquainted with.
In a mere moment, a wave of disciples from Jueqing Cliff emerged, among them several Supreme Fifth Realm and one Supreme Sixth-Realm Expert.
Scanning Chen Nan, they showed surprise in their eyes. "Kid, who are you? Dare to cause trouble with such weak power? Are you looking for death?"
"You six swine think someone is foolish enough to seek death? All of you come at me! Today, I’ll slaughter all the puppies of Jueqing Cliff and leave that old mutt alone to grow old alone." Chen Nan laughed loudly, his Golden Phoenix Winged Spear pointed at these Supremes.
"You... you are Chen Nan!"
Upon seeing the weapon in Chen Nan’s hand, those Supremes instantly recalled a person in their minds.
"You brat, our ancestor failed to kill you back then. You’ve come seeking death today. I’ll take care of you now, as a tribute to brothers who died in battle." The Supreme Sixth-Realm Expert recalled what the Old Ancestor of Jueqing had said—Chen Nan, a few days ago, was powerless against a Supreme Sixth-Realm attack.
Even the most ancient prodigy might have no miraculous changes in just a few days, so he was utterly confident, thus acted so arrogantly.
"Hehe."
Chen Nan sneered and instantly launched an attack, executing a Heaven Breaking Kill directly at the head of the Supreme Sixth-Realm Expert.
"Boom!"
The experts of Jueqing Cliff instantaneously counter-attacked, clashing with Chen Nan’s assault, the Desolate Divine Dragon Armor flashing with light as pure Dragon powers converged into Chen Nan.
Retreating hundreds of steps in the void, Chen Nan stabilized himself and beckoned the Supreme Sixth-Realm Expert, "Come on, continue. You can’t kill me. Once you exhaust your power, I’ll tear you to pieces."
"How is this possible? It’s only been a few days; how has your cultivation surged so greatly?"
The Supreme Sixth-Realm trembled, his power higher than Chen Nan’s, yet the other’s manner, that calm demeanor, shook his spirit loose.
"You can’t underestimate people after being apart for three days. Some are beyond your reach. Quickly lower your damn head and let Grandfather Chen chop it three times. Do so, and I might spare you. Otherwise, I’ll butcher everyone on Jueqing Cliff."
Chen Nan boasted without hesitation, relying on the Dragon Emperor to back him up, his assertiveness unmistakable.
This aura stemmed from deep within, by no means deceitful, nor outwardly strong but inwardly weak. The Supreme Sixth-Realm hesitated, while the several Supreme Fifth Realm trembled, having initially approached wanting to posture before Chen Nan.
Now, seeing the situation, they were deeply regretful. To fend off a Supreme Sixth-Realm’s attack, his strength was beyond what these Supreme Fifth Realm could resist.
With both the Supreme Sixth-Realm and several Supreme Fifth Realm intimidated, Chen Nan refrained from charging forward immediately, continuing, "Hahaha, you’ve frightened them. Fear is the best spice. Today, I’ll slaughter all of you puppies, letting the old mutt know the consequence of offending me."
Chen Nan’s repeated taunting of the old dog struck a nerve with these Supremes—not just the Supremes of Jueqing Cliff but even the ordinary ones couldn’t stand it any longer. Such provocations had rarely been witnessed, igniting deep resentment and boiling fury, eager to devour Chen Nan.
Next, a formidable aura suddenly approached Chen Nan, "Arrogant brat! Today, I, the Old Ancestor of Jueqing, will send you to the other side."
As the Old Ancestor made his move, wielding a powerful Divine Skill aimed at Chen Nan. If it struck, though it wouldn’t kill, it would certainly injure, possibly gravely.
Yet Chen Nan remained unmoved.
"Haha, the boy’s frightened stiff. With the Old Ancestor’s move, he’ll be turned to mince."
"The brat deserves it; despite his strength, a Human shouldn’t act so shamelessly. Dying by the Old Ancestor’s hand is almost an honor."
...
These disciples of Jueqing Cliff were abuzz, ready to witness Chen Nan being slain by the Old Ancestor. Some even discarded Memory Crystal Stones, attempting to record the spectacular scene to show the envoy of the Star Moon Alliance, exchanging it for commendations.
Yet, in the next moment, these disciples witnessed an astounding sight. As the Old Ancestor was about to strike Chen Nan, a gigantic golden Dragon Claw emerged from the void. With a mere grasp, it seized the Old Ancestor.
The Old Ancestor struggled in vain.
"Don’t... don’t kill me..."
Even a strong individual is merely an ant to greater strength.
The Old Ancestor of Jueqing, accustomed to a life of dominance and joy, had never experienced such defeat. This helplessness hadn’t touched him for millennia. Now, clutched by the Dragon Emperor, he was reduced to pleading.
"Please spare me; I’ll serve like a horse..."
The Old Ancestor of Jueqing sobbed, searching for an escape or a chance to ambush. He had an ace up his sleeve from his cultivation.
"Bang!"
With a sound akin to a watermelon bursting, the head of the once-dominant Old Ancestor exploded in the grip of the Dragon Emperor, leaving only a body oozing fresh blood, looking eerily strange.
As his Divine Soul emerged, Chen Nan summoned the Blood Dragon Order. The soul and the Blood Dragon Order contended in the void, with the soul eventually being absorbed by the Blood Dragon Order after dozens of breaths.
With the death of the Old Ancestor of Jueqing, Jueqing Cliff lost its presence. Chen Nan was ready to proceed with the Dragon Emperor when, suddenly, a scream echoed from the distant void—a young Human woman being pursued by several powerful cultivators.
