Time seemed to stand still at this moment!
Everyone stared blankly at the sapphire long sword suspended in mid-air!
The divine fire had vanished!
This also meant that Chen Nan had been annihilated, body and soul!
This outcome was expected by everyone!
Yet, it was also beyond expectation!
Because no one had thought he would die so quickly!
Silence descended upon heaven and earth!
Even the divine radiance in the sky dimmed a few shades!
As if confirming the sword posed no further threat!
"Brother-in-law, why did you have to die?" Ling Yanran's eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't accept the news of Chen Nan's demise!
If her sister were to know, she would undoubtedly be heartbroken!
The Human Emperor was also stunned!
The Ancient Desolate Sacred Body was indeed terrifying!
But...
It was also rare for an Ancient Desolate Sacred Body to survive!
Just then!
With a swoosh!
A cluster of purple flames instantly appeared on the sapphire sword!
Though faint!
It was like a guiding lamp in the darkness!
Bringing hope!
And causing everyone's eyes to light up!
The next moment!
The purple flames enveloped the long sword!
The flames leaped a meter high!
Swaying in the air like a spirit!
"Rumble!"
Thunder roared in the sky!
As if the God of Thunder was roaring!
Streaks of five-colored divine lightning intertwined in the air, colliding with each other!
Deafening!
"This guy isn't dead!"
"He's still alive!"
"His soul power has even significantly improved!"
Emperor Yan shouted excitedly!
For a refiner, the intensity of flames and soul power were closely related!
And now!
Chen Nan's divine fire had clearly improved!
This showed he was not dead!
But had entered a realm of creation!
Everyone was horrified!
He had actually withstood a bolt of divine lightning?
And with his soul, no less?
Was he a devil?
How could such a terrifying being exist in this world!
Ling Yanran's eyes were filled with joy!
As expected of the man who conquered her sister!
She had never imagined he could withstand divine lightning with his soul!
Ling Yanran had thought Chen Nan would be utterly destroyed!
Who would have thought he had miraculously survived!
Upon reflection, it made sense.
If he were a mediocre, ordinary person, how could her sister have fallen for him?
And longed for him day and night?
Boom!
Instantly!
The fifth bolt of divine lightning, carrying the might of world annihilation, ferociously struck down!
At this moment!
The void trembled!
Giving the sensation of imminent obliteration!
Emperor Yan formed hand seals and cast a spell, preventing the void from annihilating!
"Good, coming!"
Chen Nan's heart surged!
Although the previous bolt of divine lightning had made him dizzy!
It had only done that!
It hadn't heavily wounded his soul at all!
Whoosh!
The instant the five-colored divine lightning descended!
The sapphire long sword shot into the sky, and under a multitude of fearful gazes, it collided with the five-colored divine lightning!
Boom!
Thunder boomed!
The terrifying heavenly might surged like a breaking flood, instantly engulfing the entire imperial palace!
Those with weaker cultivation directly fell unconscious!
Their strength was insufficient to withstand this heavenly might!
Clang!
Struck by the lightning, the long sword plummeted to the ground!
Making a crisp landing sound!
But the next moment!
The long sword flew back into the air!
And at this time!
The height of the flames had increased by over a meter!
Beneath the multi-colored night sky!
A strand of purple flame looked so out of place!
And now!
Chen Nan still had to face four more bolts of divine lightning!
"Don't be careless. From now on, each of these four bolts of divine lightning will be terrifyingly powerful!"
Qing Long's voice was grave!
"If it's absolutely necessary, you can use Eternal Thought to resist the divine lightning!"
Chen Nan calmly asked, "If I do that, how will I temper my soul?"
Qing Long was speechless!
After a moment of silence, he sighed, "If you survive, I hope you can help me find a physical body!"
"It doesn't matter what race, as long as I can parasitize within it!"
"I truly don't want to live in constant worry with you anymore!"
"You are truly skilled at seeking death!"
Chen Nan ignored him, his gaze fixed intently on the depths of the firmament!
The five-colored divine lightning crisscrossed within the clouds, flashing continuously!
Emitting a muffled sound!
Then the sixth bolt of divine lightning descended!
Chen Nan controlled the long sword to charge upwards!
This time!
The long sword hovered in the air for nearly three seconds when it collided with the divine lightning!
And was then struck down again!
The difference was!
This time, the long sword did not fall to the ground!
Just as it was about to hit the ground, with a whoosh, it soared into the heavens!
???
???
???
Everyone was utterly horrified!
What trickery was this!
Why wasn't he diligently undergoing his tribulation, but instead flying to the highest heavens?
That was where the divine lightning was born!
If he had stayed on the ground, he might have had a chance to survive all nine bolts of divine lightning!
But his actions... were no different from seeking death!
Without exception!
No one had expected Chen Nan to be so insane!
He was like a madman who feared nothing!
He didn't play by the rules at all!
Every choice he made sent chills down people's spines!
Making them question!
Had he always been this crazy?
If so, how had he survived until today?
"It's over, my sister will be a widow!" Ling Yanran's face turned ashen!
The divine tribulation was the nightmare of a ninth-level Immortal Emperor!
Even the eight human Supremes were greatly wary of the divine tribulation!
If undergoing the tribulation was this difficult,
how much more so when Chen Nan was controlling his sword to fly into the depths of the sky!
She viewed this act as provoking the King of Hell!
"Can I call you ancestor?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"If you want to die, don't drag me along!"
Qing Long was on the verge of collapse!
He shouldn't have recognized Chen Nan as his master!
This scoundrel was doing something outrageous!
Although he had obtained the Everlasting Flame!
The Everlasting Flame was still very weak!
Facing the divine tribulation!
It could be extinguished at any moment!
Chen Nan's voice revealed a hint of madness: "I hate conforming to norms!"
"So what if I'm undergoing a tribulation?"
"Why should I accept nine bolts of heavenly lightning?"
"If someone wants to restrain me with rules!"
"Then I will break the rules!"
Qing Long sighed, "I see a shadow of that mischievous monkey in you!"
"You are like him!"
"You both have an ambition!"
"You don't like a monotonous life!"
"You don't like being bound by others!"
"He once went to the underworld to break free from his restraints!"
"Invaded the Heavenly Court!"
"But was ultimately suppressed by the bald monks of the West!"
"And finally put on the golden fillet!"
"Failing to break the shackles of fate!"
He paused!
Qing Long said, "Do what you want. I will help you, to break through this divine radiance!"
Chen Nan chuckled, "No need!"
"I don't need your help!"
"I never counted on you!"
Under the gaze of all!
The sapphire long sword appeared in the depths of the heavens!
Instantly!
Thunder roared!
Like war drums being struck on a battlefield!
Deafening!
Unceasing!
Streaks of terrifying divine lightning appeared around the long sword!
Striking the sword from all directions!
"Get lost!"
Following Chen Nan's trembling roar!
A sword energy thousands of meters long erupted!
Under shocked!
And astonished gazes!
It tore through the divine radiance!
