Everyone except Qinglong felt their scalps tingle.
Moments ago, they had clearly sensed Chen Nan's soul power vanish from the world.
It was a sign of death.
But now.
He not only crushed the Human Emperor's heart.
Even his soul power had recovered.
The Human Emperor rapidly flew away from Chen Nan, his eyes solemnly fixed on him, "Did you obtain the Celestial Demon inheritance? Gaining eight extra lives?"
The Human Emperor, being a reincarnation of a sage.
Naturally knew the Celestial Demon clan's methods.
Coupled with Chen Nan's visit to the Demon Realm.
He immediately connected Chen Nan's acquisition of the Celestial Demon inheritance.
Otherwise.
It was impossible to explain how he was alive now, after his soul had been extinguished.
"It seems the Heavenly Secret Umbrella can indeed conceal heavenly secrets. I thought you would be aware of this matter." The sword mark on Chen Nan's forehead instantly vanished.
Although he had lost a soul.
It had no impact on him.
"Even if you obtained the Celestial Demon inheritance, so what?" The Human Emperor revealed a disdainful smile.
"Let alone you gaining eight extra lives."
"Even if you gained nine lives."
"You will not leave alive today."
"Today is your death trap."
"Ten deaths, no survival!"
With his words,
He pointed a finger from afar.
An ancient painting flew out.
It depicted magnificent mountains and rivers.
And directly sucked Chen Nan into it.
Chen Nan felt the scenery flash and entered the world within the painting.
The next moment.
The Human Emperor produced a brush radiating divine light.
"I didn't expect this divine artifact to be in your hands."
"I should have known long ago that you stole it."
Qinglong's eyes were filled with anger.
The Heavenly God Brush Record.
This was an extremely terrifying existence in the Divine Realm.
Once swallowed by the scroll, one would become a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
The Human Emperor held the Heavenly God Brush and painted a mountain within the scroll.
Inside the scroll.
Chen Nan also saw the colossal mountain approaching him.
He unleashed his Eternal Domain, attempting to resist the immense mountain.
But.
The Eternal Domain was like an eggshell.
Upon colliding with the mountain, it instantly vanished.
"Chen Nan, do not be careless."
"This is the Heavenly God Brush Record, a supreme divine artifact."
Upon hearing Qinglong's voice,
Chen Nan had already been crushed into a mist of blood.
Even if Qinglong hadn't warned him, he had sensed the terrifying nature of this magical artifact.
It was just.
He hadn't expected.
That it was a supreme divine artifact.
*Whoosh!*
The blood mist condensed in the air.
Chen Nan's physical body was restored to its original state.
However.
He had lost another life just now.
Now, only seven lives remained!
He shook his body.
Samadhi True Fire raged violently.
Within the rolling sea of fire, a colossal dragon could be seen.
Roaring, it charged towards the enormous mountain in the sky.
The Human Emperor sneered, "Samadhi True Fire is indeed terrifying, but you are currently within the painting's world. With just Samadhi True Fire, do not even think of burning the Heavenly God Brush Record."
"Still have seven lives, correct?"
"No hurry, watch how I crush you!"
With his words,
He painted another mountain.
The moment the two great mountains overlapped,
Even the ancient painting trembled.
Chen Nan was crushed once again.
He tried various methods.
Including using the divine sword he obtained in the Demon Realm to resist.
Mobilizing the power of rules.
None could withstand the Human Emperor's attack.
He even employed the Everlasting Flame.
After all, it was the number one divine fire in the Divine Realm.
But.
Even the Everlasting Flame could not incinerate the falling mountain above his head.
And now.
He had only six lives left.
He knew.
Using the power of merit might be able to resist the Human Emperor's attack.
But.
Now was not the time.
The Human Emperor's objective was to possess his physical body.
Therefore.
When he had only one life left.
The Human Emperor would let him leave.
And then.
It would be time to use the power of merit.
He had to find a way to kill the Human Emperor in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, he would surely die.
"Senior Qinglong, is this Heavenly God Brush Record truly so terrifying?"
Yan Di looked at Qinglong.
Qinglong's expression was solemn, "The Heavenly God Brush Record is a supreme treasure of the Divine Realm. Especially the Heavenly God Brush, it is a supreme existence from the primordial era that wrote the Investiture of the Gods."
As soon as these words were spoken,
Everyone was shocked.
They never expected the Heavenly God Brush to have such a grand origin.
It actually came from the primordial era.
For a moment,
The atmosphere in the scene suddenly became heavy.
The Three-Legged Golden Crow soared into the air, attempting to ignite the painting.
"Impossible!" Qinglong cried out, "If you ignite that painting, even if Chen Nan survives, he will be trapped in that small world forever."
It originated from the Divine Realm.
It knew the terrifying nature of that painting.
Unless Chen Nan could break the painting from within.
Otherwise, it could not be broken from the outside.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
Inside the painting.
Chen Nan endured attacks again and again.
Until he had only one life left.
He thought.
The Human Emperor would let him out to fight a decisive battle.
However.
He did not expect the Human Emperor to cease his assault.
Instead, he controlled a colossal mountain to crush towards Chen Nan.
"Die!"
Chen Nan was enraged!
Golden merit power enveloped his body.
He was radiant,
Like an ancient god descending.
The Everlasting Flame on his body also burned to its limit.
His entire being was like a rocket shooting into the sky, directly colliding with the mountain.
At this moment,
He held nothing back.
He unleashed all his trump cards.
The Heavenly God Brush Record was too terrifying.
Even with strength comparable to that of a Human Supreme.
But in the end, it was not enough to resist the might of a supreme divine artifact.
If he did not go all out.
This time.
He would truly die!
*Boom!*
This time!
He successfully resisted the mountain above his head.
Causing the mountain to momentarily halt in the air.
But the next instant.
The terrifying power caused his veins to bulge.
He used all his abilities, but could not stop the mountain from falling.
"Scram!"
His eyes turned golden-red.
He unleashed the demonic energy hidden within his body.
Torrential demonic energy swirled around him, like a demon god descending.
He then transformed into a giant demon approximately a thousand zhang tall.
And lifted the mountain pressing down on him high above his head.
"See if you die!"
The Human Emperor, holding the divine brush, painted another mountain.
This mountain was about ten thousand zhang tall.
Towering like clouds.
Like a meteor, it heavily landed on the mountain that was on Chen Nan.
With a deafening roar.
The weight of the two overlapping mountains instantly crushed Chen Nan.
*Plop!*
Chen Nan knelt on both knees, unable to withstand this blow.
"Again!"
The Human Emperor painted another mountain.
*Boom!*
The mountain descended heavily.
Carrying world-destroying energy, it completely crushed Chen Nan.
A deafening collision sound was heard.
Chen Nan was pressed beneath the mountain.
His body splashed into a dense mist of blood.
His soul power completely vanished from the world.
King Wu stared blankly, then looked at the Human Emperor in anger, "Weren't you going to possess him?"
"If so, why did you let his soul be scattered and his body annihilated?"
