After looting the Medicinal Herb Garden, the three bandits still weren’t satisfied. They set fire to the Scripture Pavilion and then charged towards the Alchemy Room.
The Corpse-controlling Sect’s headquarters was extremely large, with nearly a kilometer between the Scripture Pavilion and Alchemy Room. At the moment, aside from the Earth Master, everyone else was trying to put out the fire at the Scripture Pavilion, allowing Chen Nan and his companions to reach the Alchemy Room at this time.
"I wondered why the Scripture Pavilion caught fire for no reason; turns out it was you causing trouble." The old man from the Earth Penetration Realm stood atop the Alchemy Room, coldly glaring at Chen Nan and the others.
A Black Feathered Chicken now donned the Golden Armor while Chen Nan and Su Qingqing controlled their facial muscles to alter their appearances. Although this elder had seen Chen Nan’s photos, he didn’t recognize him immediately.
"Old man, you’ve lived long enough; if you know what’s good for you, just kill yourself in front of us. Otherwise, we’ll make sure you die without a body." Chen Nan said.
"Such arrogance!" The elder snorted coldly, "Two Junior Masters of Realm along with a beast; I, the old man, haven’t taken you seriously."
Demonic Qi surged through Chen Nan, "Then prepare to meet your end!"
The Black Feathered Chicken whispered to Chen Nan, "In a moment, I’ll restrain him; you’re responsible for breaking through his defense and beheading him."
Chen Nan nodded and said to Su Qingqing, "Attack from afar, don’t get too close. Protect yourself well; Earth Masters aren’t easy to deal with."
Su Qingqing obediently nodded in agreement.
The Black Feathered Chicken roared and blitzed forward in a streak of light.
The elder wielded a Treasure-level Flying Sword, slicing at the Black Feathered Chicken, only for sparks to fly without inflicting a scratch.
The physical body of the Heavenly Realm is impervious to Treasure-level weapons.
The elder furrowed his brow, continuously wielding the Flying Sword against the Black Feathered Chicken. But despite the sparks, he couldn’t kill the creature, only hindering its progress.
Chen Nan hurled the Residual Stele Illusion into the sky, transforming it into a gigantic stele that descended in suppression.
The elder’s expression changed dramatically, hastily thrusting his palm upwards to fend off the suppression of the stele. Meanwhile, the Black Feathered Chicken seized the opportunity, taking the Flying Sword and advancing over ten meters, coming within less than ten meters of the elder.
The Black Feathered Chicken shouted loudly, for the first time using its Divine Skill.
The elder suddenly shuddered, almost collapsing to the ground; it felt as though a mountain were pressing upon him, and his entire weight multiplied by dozens of times, softening his knees, nearly making him kneel.
He struggled to take a step forward, leaving a deep footprint in the ground.
The Black Feathered Chicken’s Divine Power Law was extremely dominant; within a certain range, the weight of both people and objects increased infinitely. Those with high cultivation could resist this increase, but those with weaker cultivation were crushed into flesh pancakes.
Chen Nan, seeing the opportunity, operated the Stealing Heaven and Seizing Sun Divine Skill, unleashing the strongest Ultimate Kill—
Three Elements Return to One!
A supremely powerful strike blasted forth.
The elder of the Earth Penetration Realm struggled to form a spell to block Chen Nan’s attack.
But Chen Nan was not stingy with the consumption of Inner Strength; in the instant the first strike was blocked, his hand was ready for the second wave of Three Elements Return to One. Due to the influence of the Black Feathered Chicken’s Gravity Field, the elder moved slowly and couldn’t execute a Taoist Skill, taking a strike to the chest.
"Thump thump thump..."
The elder retreated three steps, leaving a series of hard impressions on the ground, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth.
"You’re Chen Nan!" the elder gasped in shock.
Despite his altered appearance, the elder could speculate it from the previous strike.
After all, in the Huaxia Cultivation World, aside from Chen Nan, he couldn’t think of another Sixth Realm Martial Artist who could inflict inner injury with a single move.
"You know too much, old man; die!"
Chen Nan struck with one palm, the Infinite Buddha Handprint unleashed, a gigantic Buddha Hand assaulted the elder. Simultaneously, knowing the elder would retaliate, Chen Nan darted to the side.
The elder struggled to form a spell, dispersing the Buddha Handprint. The force of the Earth Penetration Realm swept forth, but alas, Chen Nan had already evaded, and before the elder could cast a second spell, Three Elements Return to One was unleashed again.
Another killing move landed heavily on the elder’s chest.
Despite having the power of the Earth Penetration Realm to protect him, the elder was grievously wounded, blood pouring out. His complexion was bleak, while his body, subject to gravity and the stele’s suppression, trembled.
Chen Nan didn’t allow him time to recover, unleashing Three Elements Return to One once more.
The entire earth trembled.
Chen Nan’s strike landed on the elder’s chest again, causing him to retch blood, his face ghastly pale.
His body shook violently, as though he might collapse under the suppressive stele.
Even Chen Nan was astounded at the strength of the Earth Master; it exceeded his expectations.
He delivered a total of four strikes of Three Elements Return to One, three of them without obstruction, directly hitting the elder’s chest. Yet despite this, the opponent hadn’t fallen; Earth Penetrating First Layer Heaven was far stronger than the Ten Layers of Heaven.
Though only a step apart, even ten Ten Layers of Heaven united couldn’t rival Earth Penetrating First Layer Heaven.
With the assistance of the Stealing Heaven and Seizing Sun Divine Skill, Chen Nan could only execute five strikes of Three Elements Return to One. Now, he had exhausted his killing moves, leaving only one last strike with no assurance of eliminating the elder.
Meanwhile, Su Qingqing controlled three Jade Lotus Petals to cut into the elder’s chest, creating shallow incisions, mere scratches.
"I didn’t anticipate your realm being low, yet your combat strength so formidable!"
The elder spoke unwillingly, spewing two Treasure-level Magic Treasures and directing them towards Chen Nan and Su Qingqing.
However, due to his own injuries, the treasures couldn’t exert great power.
"Infinite Buddha Handprint!"
With a grand gesture, Chen Nan’s colossal Buddha Hand shielded against the treasures.
Chaos Sword Wave followed, making the treasures vibrate mid-air. Yet, since they were treasures, their destructive power remained strong, swiftly scattering the Sword Wave and Buddha Handprint. Chen Nan had no choice but to soar into the sky, raising the Ancient Shield for a strike.
The two treasures trembled in the air.
Seizing the moment, Chen Nan emitted the omnicord Heavenly Sound, finally eradicating the elder’s Spiritual Imprint, turning the two treasures against him.
Simultaneously, Chen Nan expended the Stealing Heaven and Seizing Sun Divine Skill to its fullest, rapidly replenishing consumed Inner Strength, darting like lightning towards the Earth Master.
