"I have reached the ninth layer peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Didn't you know about this?"
His simple words were like a thunderclap out of the blue!
Everyone's scalp tingled, and their hair stood on end!
Holy hell!
Ninth layer peak of the Nascent Soul stage?
Did I hear that right?
When did he reach this realm?
If you calculate carefully, Xuanyuan Yue has only been in the Dao Sect for a little over a hundred years!
In over a hundred years, he went from an ordinary person to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. His talent surpasses even the most astonishing ancestors in the history of the Dao Sect, doesn't it?
Boom!
The aura of a peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator descended like an invisible mountain upon Ao Hanye and his dozen or so lackeys!
Plop!
Plop!
Unable to withstand this terrifying aura, they all knelt on the ground!
"Now, do you still want to kill me?" Chen Nan looked at Ao Hanye with a half-smile!
Ao Hanye subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his voice trembling with fear, "Junior Brother Xuanyuan, I was just joking with you just now, I never intended to kill you!"
"That's right, that's right! You are our Dao Sect's number one prodigy, how could we possibly kill you?"
"We were just messing around earlier, that's all!"
Ao Hanye's lackeys also expressed their agreement!
Facing a peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
They didn't have the courage to fight at all!
Chen Nan snorted coldly, "On account of us being from the same clan, you can scram! Don't let me see you here again, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ao Hanye and the others felt as if they had been granted a great pardon and immediately flew away on their swords!
"Junior Brother Xuanyuan, your cultivation is truly impressive!" Yang Tu grinned and said, "However, you shouldn't have shown mercy and let Ao Hanye leave!"
"This man is vengeful and will likely cause you more trouble!"
Chen Nan looked at him, "Do I need you to dictate how I do things?"
Yang Tu became furious, "You ungrateful wretch, who do you think you are? If it weren't for us being from the same clan, do you think I would even bother with you?"
Chen Nan completely ignored him and flew away on his sword!
He wasn't being merciful!
He didn't even consider Ao Hanye a threat!
They were just a bunch of ants, and if he wanted to kill them, it wouldn't be now!
Chen Nan was still counting on them to help him find more demon-god crystals…
"Senior Brother Yang Tu, Xuanyuan Yue is too arrogant. He should be taught a lesson, to let him know the consequences of opposing you!" A young man beside Yang Tu said fiercely!
Slap!
Yang Tu slapped him, angered, "He's at the ninth layer peak of the Nascent Soul stage, can you beat him?"
The young man lowered his head in nervousness!
------
On the other side!
Ao Hanye and his group flew into a desolate valley!
The scenery was bleak and barren as far as the eye could see!
There was no vegetation on the ground, and the earth was stained red with blood!
"How the hell did Xuanyuan Yue reach the ninth layer peak of the Nascent Soul stage?" Ao Hanye clenched his fists, his eyes nearly spitting fire!
He hadn't expected the opponent's cultivation to soar to the ninth layer peak of the Nascent Soul stage!
"Senior Brother Ao, if you had obtained ten thousand-year-old spirit herbs, you would definitely be able to reach the ninth layer peak of the Nascent Soul stage, no, you might even break through the bottleneck and become a cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage!" Lu Yuan flattered him cautiously!
Ao Hanye gritted his teeth and said, "Xuanyuan Yue has bullied me too much! It will be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart without dismembering him alive!"
"Everyone, pull yourselves together! If we can find any opportunities here, I will surely chop up Xuanyuan Yue when we get back!"
"Yes!"
------
"According to Ye Hongyi, there are no living creatures in this demon-god battlefield. The biggest risk is the so-called will of the demon-god. As long as our luck isn't too bad and we don't encounter the will of the demon-god, there won't be any danger!"
Chen Nan soared through the air on his sword!
Before coming, Ye Hongyi had told him a lot about the demon-god battlefield!
Suddenly!
Chen Nan saw the corpse of a giant in the distance!
This giant was a thousand feet tall, its head touching the sky, its feet on the ground, and it held a giant mace in its hand!
Beneath the mace, a scarlet glow was visible!
It stood out prominently in the dark red sky and earth!
"Demon-god crystal?"
Chen Nan's eyes lit up, and he flew over!
The mace was as heavy as a mountain, causing the ground to crack open with a large gap!
The demon-god crystals beneath the ground were clearly visible!
Chen Nan dived into the fissure and took out all the demon-god crystals inside!
Although not a lot, it was over a hundred catties!
"If these demon-god crystals weren't contaminated, they would definitely be of mid-grade spirit stone quality or higher!" Chen Nan felt a pang of regret. Spirit stones had many uses!
But demon-god crystals could only be used for setting up formations!
Just as Chen Nan was about to leave!
A sense of crisis suddenly struck him!
Without time to think, he immediately flew out of the fissure!
In an instant!
A swarm of red ants, each over two meters long, surged out!
They had wings and resembled a blood cloud, obscuring the sky and sun, a magnificent sight!
"Wait!"
Chen Nan's face changed drastically!
"Ye Hongyi said there were no living creatures here, so why are there countless giant ants?"
Chen Nan's scalp tingled!
Although they were ants, they gave him a sense of powerful pressure and crisis!
Because each ant had a cultivation level comparable to that of the Golden Core stage!
Without further thought, he raised his hand and wrote a divine rune in the air!
'Fire'
Whoosh!
The void instantly ignited!
Causing the ants to emit piercing screams!
Their cries were sharp and made Chen Nan's eardrums ache and his soul dizzy!
He thought the Fire Rune would kill these ants!
But to his shock, he found that the ants flew through the sea of fire and continued to devour him!
"Flame!"
Chen Nan took a deep breath and directly wrote the Flame Rune!
Although both were fire-elemental divine runes!
The power of the Flame Rune was doubled compared to the Fire Rune!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Flames enveloped the heavens and earth, and when they landed on the giant ants, the ants instantly turned into ashes and disappeared into the world!
A scorched smell permeated the air!
"It seems this place is much more terrifying than I imagined!"
Chen Nan's expression was solemn!
Because Ye Hongyi had previously said that there were no living creatures here!
And now that a swarm of ants comparable to the Golden Core stage had appeared, there were naturally other creatures!
Their strength was unknown!
In any case, Chen Nan was a little more vigilant about this world!
"I hope others don't encounter the ant swarm, or other creatures!" Chen Nan sighed inwardly, then flew away on his sword towards the distance!
But at this moment!
The sky above his head suddenly darkened!
Although the light in this world was not bright, it still greatly surprised him!
He suddenly looked up!
He saw a giant footprint covering the sky and sun, descending fiercely from the depths of the nine heavens!
"Holy hell!"
"That giant is still alive?"
Chen Nan's scalp tingled, and a colossal wave of shock surged through his heart!
