Why did Chen Nan become the Lord of the Immortal Realm?
Was it his strength?
Or his character?
Neither.
The reason he became the Lord of the Immortal Realm was due to a fortunate coincidence.
He had intended to sacrifice himself, transforming into the power of laws to mend the heavens.
Then, by chance, he merged with the heavenly laws of the Immortal Realm.
This is how he became the supreme being of the Immortal Realm.
To put it plainly,
The reason he became the Immortal Supreme was reliant on the seven elemental laws: Yin, Yang, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
Therefore,
He knew deeply how powerful the force of laws was,
How miraculous it was,
And how many wondrous uses it possessed.
Now that the whereabouts of the Wood elemental law had been discovered,
He had to obtain it, no matter what.
To be honest,
If he were to collect more of the power of laws,
Even if he didn't become a Ninth-Rank Yin Messenger, he could still reach the Eighteenth Level of Hell,
Meet Empress Houtu, and return the Human Realm and the Animal Realm to her.
Upon hearing that Chen Nan was going to Jinyang Mountain,
The three of them, including Qiye, were filled with excitement.
They knew Chen Nan's strength.
With Chen Nan taking action,
Perhaps the man-eating vine could be slain.
Without further thought,
Qiye released a jade gourd.
He formed hand seals.
The gourd instantly grew larger.
Carrying the four of them, it appeared above the sea of clouds, as if riding the wind and mist, heading towards Jinyang Mountain.
After traveling for about an hour,
A mountain range, with peaks and valleys and lush green trees, appeared ahead.
From high above,
This mountain range resembled a ram,
Hence it was named Jinyang Mountain.
The sun had already set.
The mountain was silent.
Chen Nan’s soul power spread out,
Covering half of Jinyang Mountain,
But he detected no trace of the man-eating vine.
Kuankuai spoke, "That man-eating vine must have sensed the esteemed presence of Sir and has thus been scared into hiding."
Chen Nan glanced back at him, "Are you always this adept at flattery?"
Kuankuai endured the awkwardness, "This might be a talent, merely activated upon encountering Sir!"
"You are indeed very good at flattery!" Qiye rolled her eyes at him.
Chen Nan said no more, snapping his fingers.
Instantly,
Jinyang Mountain was engulfed in a sea of flames.
Countless birds and beasts fled in all directions.
Although the man-eating vine had concealed its presence,
It could be completely forced out.
"Human!"
"You have successfully angered me!"
"Do you think your meager skills are enough to kill me?"
"Overestimating yourself!"
Following an enraged roar,
A streak of green radiance appeared within the sea of flames.
Green vines, like chains, tore through the air.
The green radiance dyed the flames,
Making them look dazzling.
"You three, keep a close watch on the man-eating vine's movements, and do not let it escape!"
Chen Nan instructed the trio.
Then, he directly charged towards the direction from which the green vines were attacking.
Concurrently, terrifying flames erupted from within him,
As if the God of Fire had been reborn.
He allowed the vines to pierce his body,
But they caused no damage.
Not only that,
The vines that penetrated him instantly turned to ash.
"Fire Law?"
"This is the Fire Law?"
A shrill scream came from Jinyang Mountain.
Clearly,
The man-eating vine also realized that Chen Nan was not using fire-elemental spells,
But the formidable Fire Law.
"It's too late now!"
Chen Nan's eyes narrowed, he had already locked onto the towering ancient tree within the mountain.
It was the true form of the man-eating vine.
On its trunk was a human-like face.
"Even if you wield the Fire Law, you will not escape alive!" The man-eating vine was deeply enraged, its voice like thunderous roars.
Instantly,
Innumerable vines emitting green radiance shrouded the space, lunging towards Chen Nan.
The scene was spectacular.
Even Qiye and the others held their breath.
They had witnessed the terror of this move by the man-eating vine before.
Qiushui had been injured by this very attack.
Whoosh!
Blazing flames surged out from Chen Nan's body.
The scorching heat ignited the air,
And also ignited the sky,
Creating a powerful visual impact.
"Break!"
Chen Nan uttered a cold syllable.
Instantly,
Fireballs, tens of meters in diameter, appeared like meteors from outer space.
Trailing long fiery tails,
They radiated an aura of world destruction.
Boom!
When the emerald green vines collided with the fireballs tens of meters in diameter,
The world was filled with a deafening roar,
As if the heavens and earth were collapsing,
Making eardrums ache,
And blood churn.
"Sir's strength is too terrifying!" Kuankuai looked at the figure in the distance with awe, "I have a premonition that if I were to spar with Sir..."
"One move, just one move."
"He would beg me not to die!"
Qiye and Qiushui did not object.
Because they could feel Chen Nan's strength.
Even if they went all out,
They would absolutely not be able to withstand a single move from Chen Nan.
If it were a spar,
Wouldn't he be begging them not to die?
The man-eating vine's eyes flashed with astonishing cold light, "I underestimated your strength."
"However,"
"With the strength you have currently displayed,"
"It is far from enough to kill me."
"As for me killing you,"
"It is as easy as turning my hand!"
As he spoke,
Countless vines erupted from the ground, completely enshrouding this small space.
Weaving into a colossal cage, trapping Chen Nan within.
The cage was rapidly constricting,
As if intending to completely entrap Chen Nan.
At the same time,
Chen Nan also keenly sensed that sharp vine leaves had appeared on those vines,
Like blades, even he felt a sense of danger.
"I shall see if you can trap me!"
Chen Nan's eyes burned with soaring battle intent.
The next moment,
A black iron rod appeared in his hand.
It was the Panlong Rod!
He gripped the Panlong Rod, infused it with Yin energy, and with overwhelming killing intent, he directly struck the cage before him.
Boom!
After the blow,
The cage only showed signs of loosening,
But it did not break.
"Such astonishing resilience!"
Chen Nan's expression became much more serious.
The strength of this man-eating vine was far greater than he had imagined.
Just then,
More than ten vines instantly coiled around the Panlong Rod in his hand.
How could Chen Nan allow the opponent to seize his weapon?
He opened his mouth and blew.
Surging flames instantly turned the Panlong Rod fiery red.
The ten-odd vines wrapped around the Panlong Rod immediately loosened, unwilling to entangle.
Chen Nan retreated rapidly,
But the surroundings were completely covered by vines.
There was nowhere to retreat.
Seeing the area continuing to shrink,
Chen Nan realized that this man-eating vine was very strong.
With his current strength, he was no match for it.
Only by breaking through could he completely suppress it.
Thinking that after breaking through, he could no longer openly sleep with the Lu sisters,
A strong rage surged within him, "You truly deserve to die!"
As he spoke,
He directly took out one hundred Soul-Devouring Pills and swallowed them.
"Trying to break through?" The man-eating vine sneered, "Although I am not human, you cannot take me for a fool!"
"Do you think I will give you a chance to break through?"
Before his voice even faded,
The cage, before the horrified eyes of Qiye and the others, instantly shrank to a sphere about one meter in diameter,
Completely compressing Chen Nan within.
The man-eating vine laughed heartily, "Young man, you should have no other means, right?"
