"Hey."
"Are you Azure Dragon?"
"The supreme being, one of the Four Divine Beasts."
"Can you mind your language and not swear so much?"
Chen Nan was displeased with Azure Dragon's foul mouth.
"Don't rush to lecture me, I'll release those things to you now." Azure Dragon's voice was filled with excitement.
Because it was protecting Chen Nan's soul.
So.
It could block many things.
For instance, the blood energy that could affect Chen Nan's mind.
There were also cultivation techniques.
"Holy shit!"
"Holy shit!"
"Holy shit!"
After sensing the cultivation techniques in his mind.
Chen Nan regretted his limited vocabulary, only able to exclaim "holy shit" for everything.
Azure Dragon sighed, "You fellow, you've truly hit the jackpot."
"To actually receive the inheritance of a Heavenly Demon."
"This is equivalent to having nine lives!"
Chen Nan clasped his head with both hands, screaming in agony: "Pain!"
"So painful!"
Boom!
The water in the Heavenly Demon Pool boiled.
Chen Nan's face was as pale as wax.
His expression was extremely contorted.
This time.
Azure Dragon did not intervene.
"So, the reason for nine lives is to split the soul into nine."
"Such a cruel method, only demons could devise it."
At this moment.
Azure Dragon understood the reason why Heavenly Demons had nine lives.
To sever a soul into nine.
Didn't that grant nine lives?
However.
From ancient times to the present.
No one had dared to do such a thing.
Overwhelming demonic energy poured into Chen Nan's body ceaselessly.
Cruelly tearing at his flesh and blood.
Dark golden blood stained the water in the Heavenly Demon Pool red.
Chen Nan couldn't remember the last time he had been so pathetic.
The physical pain was exceptionally intense.
But it was far less than the agony of his soul being split into nine.
Not even one percent of the pain.
Yet, he gritted his teeth.
Enduring the torment of his soul being divided into nine.
As time passed.
He felt as though he had died.
His soul no longer hurt.
His body no longer hurt.
It was as if he had transcended time.
Escaped the cycle of life and death.
It was an incredibly profound sensation.
After an unknown period.
Chen Nan slowly regained his senses.
His body still had some lingering effects.
But his soul was completely free from pain.
With a thought.
Nine independent souls detached from his body, appearing before him.
This was miraculous.
But it also made Chen Nan's heart race.
He had initially thought that after splitting his soul into nine, his soul would be affected.
And his strength would be weakened.
But that was not the case.
Each soul was as powerful as it was before the division.
"The soul division of the Heavenly Demon race is truly terrifying."
"Although splitting the soul into nine doesn't increase any combat power."
"It's equivalent to giving me eight extra lives!"
A person with nine lives.
Who could possess such a heaven-defying divine ability?
This time.
Even facing the Human Emperor, he had absolute confidence in victory.
He tried to calm his emotions.
Then absorbed the demonic energy from the heavens and the earth.
Although the soul division was a great fortune.
He still needed to absorb the demonic energy from the Heavenly Demon Pool to increase his cultivation.
He had a premonition.
That he could definitely elevate his Blood Demon Great Law here.
After all, this was the place where a Heavenly Demon had fallen.
As for which realm he would reach, he was unsure.
------
"That guy has been inside for seven days."
"Is he going to break the Great Emperor's former record?"
Outside.
Fu Chen appeared beside Wen Chuxue, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Wen Chuxue said, "I heard Chen Nan's heart-wrenching screams earlier. It seems he must have encountered a great opportunity."
Fu Chen nodded slightly, "So far, besides the Great Emperor who stayed inside for nine days, the longest record is five days."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Nan has a chance to break the Great Emperor's record this time."
Wen Chuxue shook her head dismissively, "We have both entered the Heavenly Demon Pool before."
"Especially in the later stages!"
"Every minute and second inside is torture."
"I don't believe Chen Nan can break the record set by the Great Emperor."
------
Another two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Fu Chen smiled and said, "I told you, this guy might break the record set by the Great Emperor. Do you believe me now?"
Wen Chuxue's heart was unsettled.
Chen Nan was merely a human.
How could he stay in the Heavenly Demon Pool for so long?
"The demonic energy in the Heavenly Demon Pool seems to have weakened." Fu Chen's gaze was profound.
They had entered the Heavenly Demon Pool.
So they could no longer enter.
But even so.
They could still perceive the weakening of the demonic energy in the Heavenly Demon Pool with their own eyes.
"This child cannot be allowed to live!"
Without any warning.
Tu Mie appeared beside the two, a trace of inexplicable apprehension flashing in his eyes.
Fu Chen quickly bowed and asked in confusion, "Great Emperor, this child is a formation master."
"And he has obtained a great fortune in the Heavenly Demon Pool. Why can't he be allowed to live?"
Wen Chuxue was also filled with doubt.
Even a sense of inexplicable nervousness.
Chen Nan's rise was certainly a good thing.
But if Tu Mie didn't spare him, it would be difficult for him to survive.
Tu Mie's gaze was profound, "If nothing unexpected happens."
"Chen Nan should have obtained the Heavenly Demon's inheritance."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the Heavenly Demon Pool for so long."
"If he truly obtained the Heavenly Demon's inheritance."
"If we let him be, he could potentially become another Cong Zun in the future."
"Therefore, we must nip it in the bud."
"Eradicate him in advance!"
Fu Chen nodded slightly, "What the Great Emperor says is not without reason."
"Although Chen Nan has already entered the demonic path."
"But the human heart is unpredictable."
"Moreover, humans possess a benevolent heart."
"If he grows up and emulates Emperor Cong Zun, it will be difficult to contend with him!"
Emperor Cong Zun was indeed powerful.
He was a legend of the demon realm.
But he was just an ordinary demon.
If Chen Nan truly obtained the Heavenly Demon's inheritance.
His future achievements would surely surpass those of Emperor Cong Zun.
Furthermore, he would be difficult to deal with.
Wen Chuxue suddenly said, "Chen Nan cannot die yet."
Tu Mie gave her a cold glance, "Are you going to defy my opinion?"
"Commander Wen, you need to understand one thing."
"You are a demon."
"You cannot side with outsiders!" He then let out a heavy snort.
Wen Chuxue said, "Great Emperor, that is not what I meant."
"What I mean is, Chen Nan indeed cannot live."
"But he still has value for us to exploit."
"He is a formation master. We can completely have him go to Qianlong Abyss to break that ancient ruin."
"If we can break it, the strength of our Myriad Monster Den will surely advance by leaps and bounds."
Fu Chen's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Great Emperor, I feel that Commander Wen's words are very insightful. Although we previously sent ten commanders to Qianlong Abyss, those people unfortunately died."
"The fundamental reason is that they did not understand formations."
"And this time, we can send Chen Nan."
"If he can break the seal of Qianlong Abyss, that would be great."
"Even if he can't, we can still kill him afterward."
Tu Mie pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense."
"Even if Chen Nan obtained the Heavenly Demon's inheritance."
"Can he become a strong opponent to me in a short period?" He then showed a disdainful smile.
However.
He did not know.
That this decision today was the biggest mistake of his life.
He would soon realize how outrageously wrong he was.
