Chen Nan really wanted to control the earth element law.
After all, if he mastered the five element laws and his yin and yang laws, he could create a small world.
He was also thinking of creating a small world after returning to Earth.
And moving all his confidantes into it.
Then live a life free from shame and lust.
But now.
The Divine Earth was right before his eyes.
Yet he didn't know how to persuade himself to take the Divine Earth into his possession.
After all.
He had his pride.
He couldn't bring himself to take such a treasure without giving anything in return.
"Actually, we can change our strategy," Chen Nan said. "For example, I can heal you, and then everything will be resolved once and for all."
The Thunder Emperor smiled bitterly. "I told you, you can't heal my injuries."
Chen Nan: "There's something you don't know. In fact, my main profession is a doctor."
"Formations."
"Alchemy."
"Artifact refining... are all side businesses I dabble in when I'm idle."
Pfft!
The Thunder Emperor was already severely injured.
Upon hearing Chen Nan's words, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. kanδん
Qiu Xingbang and Lei Xia were also stunned.
Formations, alchemy, artifact refining, all side businesses you dabble in when idle?
Your words are quite shameless.
It's a good thing that no alchemists, artifact refiners, or formation masters heard this.
Otherwise, they would all suffer immense blows.
"Come, Uncle-in-law will take a look for you." Chen Nan walked to the Thunder Emperor's side, as if examining an ordinary person.
He took his pulse and felt it.
Then, he furrowed his brow. "Which law are you cultivating?"
"Law of Destruction."
Chen Nan withdrew his hand and said, "Are you sure your Dao foundation collapse happened during your fight with the Human Emperor? Did you have a qi deviation while cultivating?"
He felt a destructive force within the Thunder Emperor.
If it were the Human Emperor's technique, he would have sensed it.
After all, everyone's aura was different.
But.
That power clearly belonged to the Thunder Emperor.
The Thunder Emperor smiled bitterly. "I'm almost dead, do you think I would still lie?"
"No, no... let me feel your pulse again." Chen Nan said, taking the Thunder Emperor's pulse again.
He closed his eyes and quietly felt the destructive force within the Thunder Emperor.
This force indeed belonged to the Thunder Emperor.
But for some reason.
It was even more domineering than the Thunder Emperor's current destructive power.
Chen Nan was at a loss.
He had never encountered such a bizarre and peculiar situation.
"I have a premonition."
"The one who injured me was not the Human Emperor."
"But myself."
The Thunder Emperor's expression became extremely serious. "I've always wondered, if I hadn't used the power of law in that battle, would I have been injured..."
"After all, I was the first one to use the power of law back then."
"But."
"Even if I used the power of law, I couldn't hurt the Human Emperor."
"Fortunately, your master Cao Rufeng appeared in time and used a formation to stop our battle."
"But afterwards, I kept wondering."
"Who exactly injured my Dao foundation?"
"The Human Emperor?"
"Or myself?"
He shook his head. "Actually, Emperor Yan doesn't believe the Human Emperor injured me either, because the destructive power within me clearly belongs to me."
"To any normal person, my current situation would look like a result of qi deviation."
"But..."
"Would a ninth-level Immortal Emperor qi deviate to the point of destroying their own Dao foundation?"
"What are you trying to say?" Chen Nan's brows were tightly knit.
He felt that the Thunder Emperor's words held hidden meanings.
But.
He couldn't grasp what the Thunder Emperor wanted to convey.
The Thunder Emperor said, "As everyone knows, when one cultivates to the Immortal Emperor realm, some can comprehend and master the power of law."
"But."
"It's limited to only one..."
As he spoke, he seemed to feel that his words were not precise enough. He glanced at Chen Nan and said in a sarcastic tone, "Uh, you're not human, so we can't generalize."
"How can you scold someone?" Chen Nan gave him a look of disdain. "How can you speak to your Uncle-in-law like that?"
The Thunder Emperor chuckled without a smile. "I've never seen anyone control five laws at the same time, and he's going to control two more in the future. If you're human, then what are we?"
Chen Nan was speechless.
It seemed...
He was indeed a bit too heaven-defying.
The Thunder Emperor continued, "I've always suspected how many laws the Human Emperor controls."
"Is it really just the Law of Annihilation?"
"If, I mean if."
"If he controlled two laws, would that explain the origin of my injuries?"
Chen Nan rubbed his nose. "Even if the Human Emperor really controls a second law, that still doesn't explain the origin of the destructive force within you!"
The Thunder Emperor's gaze was solemn. "Law of Time."
"I suspect the Human Emperor controls the Law of Time."
"And he can borrow my future destructive power."
"Borrowing future power?"
Chen Nan was utterly shocked.
A towering wave of disbelief rose in his heart.
He had roamed the three realms of humans, demons, and monsters.
He considered himself to have seen a lot.
But now.
The Thunder Emperor's words had truly shocked him.
"Other than that, how else can you explain that a power belonging to me within my body destroyed my Dao foundation?" The Thunder Emperor also didn't believe his own words, thinking they were too fantastical.
But aside from this explanation, there was no more reasonable one.
Chen Nan was aghast. "If what you're saying is true, then how powerful must the Human Emperor be?"
Borrowing another person's future power to defeat them.
This kind of method was too terrifying.
Even he felt a strong sense of oppression.
The Thunder Emperor said, "The Human Emperor is no ordinary person; he is very likely a reincarnated saint."
"His strength is beyond our imagination."
"But don't worry."
"If you simultaneously control seven laws."
"You can completely form your own realm, isolating the Human Emperor's Law of Time."
Chen Nan tried to calm his emotions. "Your injuries are indeed very tricky, but for me, it's not impossible to heal."
"It's going to hurt a bit now."
"Bear with it."
Then, he controlled a wisp of merit power and injected it into the Thunder Emperor's body.
Merit power was omnipotent.
It was effortless to repair injuries.
However.
This time, Chen Nan overestimated the merit power.
No.
To be precise, he overestimated the Thunder Emperor.
The Thunder Emperor's Dao foundation was damaged, and the merit power became a heavy burden for him.
With his current physical condition, he couldn't withstand the merit power at all.
He coughed up mouthfuls of blood.
Giving the impression that his life was nearing its end.
"It's useless. I cultivate the Law of Destruction, and even merit power cannot repair my damaged Dao foundation," the Thunder Emperor sighed.
If Chen Nan had appeared decades earlier, his injuries could definitely have been healed.
But now.
Even merit power couldn't heal his condition.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Nan said, "Since you call me Uncle-in-law, I have to give you a meeting gift!"
"Let me give you an opportunity for creation!"
As he spoke, the Destruction Divine Talisman appeared in his hand.
Although the Thunder Emperor's condition was dire.
But if he merged with the Divine Talisman.
Perhaps he could be reborn from the ashes.
