A sword mark, about three centimeters long, was on his chest.
However.
The sword mark was shrouded in dark, destructive power.
The wound was growing larger.
As if a silken handkerchief ignited by a faint flame, the fire was spreading outwards.
Of course.
That terrifying destructive power had not ceased its rampage.
It was devouring his internal organs, spreading along his meridians.
"I told you, unless you control the complete Seven-Attribute Great Dao, even if you master three thousand divine abilities, you cannot defeat this King," Yan Tu said with a disdainful smile.
The others were all tense and uneasy.
They had never expected Chen Nan to be injured.
If his opponent were an ordinary person, it would be one thing.
But it was quite the opposite.
His opponent was a powerful异魔 (Yì mó - alien demon).
And it had mastered divine abilities.
Just as everyone was worrying for Chen Nan.
Chen Nan let out a surprised sound, "I can't remember how long it's been since anyone could injure my physical body!"
"But do you think this minor injury can kill me?"
He trembled.
The Seven-Attribute Great Dao once again enveloped him.
His expression gradually became solemn.
He had hoped to force out the Destructive Great Dao within him using the Seven-Attribute Great Dao.
But he found it utterly useless.
Yan Tu said calmly, "Stop your death throes. The destructive power has already spread within you. You will die and your Dao will vanish soon!"
"Even your Seven-Attribute Great Dao is not enough to counter my destructive power!"
"Is that so?" Chen Nan smirked disdainfully.
The next second.
His wound was covered by a yellow mist.
This mist seemed to possess magical power, instantly dispelling the destructive power from Chen Nan's wound. His injuries healed at a visible speed.
In an instant, the wound was perfectly healed, leaving no trace.
Yan Tu was shocked, "What kind of technique is this?"
"A technique to kill you!" Chen Nan roared and vanished into the night like a ghost.
The next second.
He appeared less than ten thousand meters above Yan Tu.
His spatial domain instantly covered twenty thousand meters of void.
"Monster, you are truly a monster! Not only do you control the Seven-Attribute Great Dao, but you also control the Spatial Great Dao!" Yan Tu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "If you are given enough time, you will surely become a being surpassing the ancient sages."
"But today, this King must kill you in your cradle!"
The talent Chen Nan displayed was too terrifying.
It made him feel deep unease and apprehension.
Although it had always known that humanity had a last hope.
It had never taken it seriously.
So many sages had fallen ten thousand years ago; what waves could the last hope make?
But now.
It had to take Chen Nan seriously.
Before it could react, Chen Nan produced a long saber of azure blue.
For some reason.
Its blade also emanated a faint yellow glow.
It was incredibly sharp, making Yan Tu wary.
"Die!"
Chen Nan channeled the Spatial Great Dao to envelop the cold saber and shot towards Yan Tu like a laser.
"Not enough!"
"Your strength is still far from enough to kill me!" Yan Tu unleashed two sword qi condensed from destructive power.
Chen Nan raised his saber to block, but was blasted back thousands of meters.
Even with the aid of the Spatial Great Dao.
He still couldn't get close to Yan Tu.
Not only that.
He also felt a dull ache in his tiger's mouth.
This was the impact force from blocking Yan Tu's sword qi, which had traveled through the cold saber to his hand.
Fortunately, he possessed the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, making his physique formidable.
If it were a cultivator of the same realm, they would likely have been pulverized by this force.
"I control one-third of the Destructive Great Dao. Though it's only this one aspect, it's not something you can resist," Yan Tu roared with laughter, the Destructive Great Dao surging from within it, centering on itself and covering an area of three hundred thousand kilometers in all directions.
Boom!
Chen Nan felt a terrifying destructive force sweeping from all sides.
He felt like a lone boat in a vast ocean.
As if he could be torn to shreds by this power at any moment.
Without thinking further.
He quickly unleashed the Yin and Yang Great Daos.
A Tai Chi diagram with a diameter of over a hundred meters appeared beneath his feet and began to slowly rotate.
Yin and Yang gave birth to all things.
Even though he was now within Yan Tu's Destructive Great Dao, the appearance of the Tai Chi diagram helped him offset the influence of the destructive power.
"Perish!"
Yan Tu roared, and with a wave of its hand, terrifying sword qi emerged from the Destructive Great Dao. Those sword qi appeared around Chen Nan, pointing towards him.
Boom!
With Yan Tu's telekinetic push.
The sword qi simultaneously stabbed towards Chen Nan.
Chen Nan's gaze was indifferent; he didn't even attempt to block.
When the sword qi was still a hundred meters away from him.
The Yin and Yang qi emanating from the Tai Chi diagram became even more potent, and its rotational speed increased noticeably compared to before.
The force generated by its rotation successfully deflected the influence of the rampant sword qi on Chen Nan.
"Chen Nan, you cannot kill me!"
"But I can slowly torment you to death!" Yan Tu said with a playful smile. It didn't claim it could instantly kill Chen Nan, as the Yin and Yang qi on Chen Nan was too formidable.
Even if it wanted to kill Chen Nan, it would be difficult.
"Indeed, you are a formidable opponent!" Chen Nan's tone shifted. "But your only reliance is the Destructive Great Dao. If I break it, how will you kill me?"
"The question is, can you break my Destructive Great Dao?" Yan Tu sneered. "Unless you can comprehend one-third of the Great Dao in an instant, you cannot defeat me!"
"However, for you, this should be an unrealistic endeavor."
Chen Nan did not deny it.
Though the divine abilities were boundless.
For cultivators, as long as they could extend their mastered divine abilities for a million kilometers, they could become sages.
He had also mastered the Seven-Attribute divine abilities.
But the coverage area was very, very small.
He didn't believe he could gain enlightenment and master one-third of the Great Dao in such a short time.
At the same time.
He also understood Yan Tu's strength.
"This guy controls three hundred thousand kilometers of divine abilities. According to the cultivation realm classification, it has already surpassed the Sage Lord realm and reached the Pseudo-Sage realm."
"Above Pseudo-Sage is Half-Sage."
"Above Half-Sage is a true Sage."
"My current strength has the power to fight against a Divine Lord realm cultivator."
"But facing a Pseudo-Sage level expert still poses a significant challenge."
Even so.
Chen Nan remained unfazed.
He produced countless bean-sized pellets and scattered them, which then transformed into his likeness.
Then, Chen Nan thrust out a palm, and the destructive Great Dao in front of him was briefly torn open by the Spatial Great Dao.
Innumerable external avatars charged towards Yan Tu.
Upon seeing this.
Yan Tu frowned slightly. "Your external avatars might be effective against Divine Lord realm cultivators, but against this King, aren't you being overly ambitious?"
Chen Nan revealed a faint smile. "Do you know what true destruction is?"
Yan Tu laughed in anger. "I have already mastered the Destructive Great Dao, and you ask me what destruction is?"
Chen Nan: "Next, I will show you what true destruction is!"
Saying this.
He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
Instantly.
The countless external avatars simultaneously erupted with a brilliant radiance.
Like detonated nuclear bombs, they exploded in the air!
