Despite fearing Chen Nan's terrifying, suffocating attacks,
Everyone knew there was no turning back once the arrow was shot.
An old man's voice boomed, "Esteemed sirs, fire and water are irreconcilable. We can use the Luo River's waters to slay this brat!"
Upon hearing this,
Others found immediate reason.
They formed hand seals.
*Swish!*
Without any warning,
A thunderous roar of surging waves echoed through the heavens and earth.
The ground trembled.
A colossal wave dozens of meters high surged from the south bank.
Boats moored at the shore were lifted by the immense wave, sweeping towards the assembled group.
Chen Nan's expression grew grave. He spoke to Di Ting, "Brother Dog, protect Miss Bai!"
Water and fire were irreconcilable.
At this moment,
Even Chen Nan felt a sense of crisis.
He couldn't possibly protect Bai Yu.
Of course,
Bai Yu's strength was not insignificant.
However, the problem was the distant Wan Du Zhi, who was watching menacingly.
Her safety could not be overlooked.
"No problem," Di Ting's eyes glinted with intelligence. He looked at Bai Yu, "Sister, hurry, hurry, come ride me! Brother Dog will take you to show off and fly!"
Bai Yu wore a look of disdain, "I don't need your protection!"
Chen Nan's voice resonated in her soul, "It's Di Ting!"
*Boom!*
Those simple four words
Struck Bai Yu like a bolt from the blue.
Disbelief flickered in her eyes.
The world knew Di Ting was the foremost divine beast of the underworld.
It could hear the voices of the three realms.
Yet…
She couldn't accept that the legendary divine beast Di Ting was a lecherous dog…
Seeing the colossal wave approach,
She could no longer afford to hesitate and reluctantly mounted Di Ting's back.
The next second,
Di Ting, carrying Bai Yu, shot into the sky, appearing on the island's highest point.
Simultaneously,
A hundred-meter-high wave attacked from the south.
Deafening roars reverberated through heaven and earth.
The wave exuded an aura of world-ending destruction,
Instilling a powerful sense of pressure.
Chen Nan stood still.
A hint of madness appeared in his eyes.
He punched the void.
*Crack!*
Without warning,
A faint cracking sound emerged beneath his fist.
In the next moment,
Visible fissures appeared in the void.
The scene was utterly bizarre,
As no one had ever witnessed such a technique capable of shattering the void with a single punch.
The fissures spread towards the colossal wave with lightning speed.
As the fissures collided with the wave,
The wave instantly disintegrated in mid-air,
Exploding with a roar,
Transforming into a dense shower of water droplets that fell from the sky.
Despite this,
The twelve powerful figures did not cease their assault.
One of them held a black clay pot,
Which emanated a dark glow,
Imparting an ancient and mysterious aura.
The others controlled the rainwater, transforming it into sword energy that lunged at Chen Nan.
Today, even through a war of attrition, they would exhaust Chen Nan,
Otherwise, they would have no face to live in this world.
"This is the Soul-Devouring Pot, capable of devouring others' souls!" Di Ting transmitted telepathically, recognizing it as a formidable artifact.
Chen Nan's gaze fell upon the elder wielding the Soul-Devouring Pot, a cold glint in his eyes.
He turned his finger into a sword and slashed towards the distance.
A beam of sword energy instantly pierced the black clay pot,
Causing the elder to spew a mouthful of crimson blood.
Concurrently,
Chen Nan was enveloped by a fierce flame.
Water and fire were irreconcilable.
The flames erupted, directly vaporizing the sword energy that came from all directions.
Simultaneously,
He flashed behind an elder.
And unleashed a punch.
*Thump!*
Accompanied by a dull thud,
The elder's horrified eyes witnessed a fiery fist pierce through his chest from behind.
A burning fist appeared in front of him.
"Die!"
The elder forcibly channeled the Yin energy within him, doing his utmost to control the burning speed of his body.
He stubbornly held Chen Nan at bay,
Buying time for the others.
*Boom!*
Another colossal wave rose from the Luo River,
Sweeping in like dark clouds pressing down.
It forcefully slammed Chen Nan and the elder onto the ground,
Submerging a third of the island.
However,
It did not extinguish the flames on Chen Nan.
He leaped up from the water.
Although the intensity of the flames on his body had lessened somewhat,
He appeared much more relaxed.
The reason was simple:
He currently controlled one-tenth of the fire element laws.
Each time he wielded fire element laws, the backlash he suffered became more intense.
The waters of the Luo River, while unable to suppress the fire poison within him,
Could at least exert some restraint.
"Everyone, step aside, let me suppress this brat!"
A white-haired elder formed hand seals.
A yellowed oil-paper umbrella rose into the air and vanished into the void.
Instantly, the sky darkened,
A full moon appeared in the sky, along with a myriad of stars.
"Be careful!" Bai Yu's expression changed drastically, she shouted, "This item is called the Star-Moon Umbrella. It can create its own realm and unleash the power of stars and moon. Its strength is immense; do not underestimate it!"
Artifacts were rare in the underworld,
As many had been destroyed during the Fan Tian Cult's rebellion ten thousand years ago.
Chen Nan looked at the star-filled night sky,
A look of disdain on his face. "I reckon, it's just so-so!"
He reached out towards the void.
Grabbing it from afar.
The next second,
Countless meteors appeared in the depths of the night sky.
These meteors, trailing long fiery tails, descended towards the ground.
*Boom!*
The night sky was instantly torn open by flames, creating a massive void,
Giving the illusion of the heavens being ripped apart by an extraterrestrial demon god.
In the next moment,
The night sky was further pockmarked by countless fireballs.
In an instant, the night curtain vanished,
Revealing a misty, sunlit day.
The elder's face was filled with rage,
Clearly surprised that Chen Nan had so easily destroyed his artifact.
Chen Nan looked at the figures in the distance and said dismissively, "Now you should realize one thing: to me, you are truly like ants."
"If I wished to kill you, I could do so with a mere raise of my hand!"
The elder whose Star-Moon Umbrella was destroyed roared, "Chen, don't speak too soon! Even if your strength is immense, don't think of us as mere ants."
They all possessed cultivation at the second or even third level of the Ghost King realm.
Now, being so utterly despised by Chen Nan,
Anger burned within them.
Chen Nan flashed a sinister smile.
Then, a short sword appeared in his hand.
To everyone's astonished gaze, he plunged the short sword directly into his own glabella,
Piercing through his entire head.
*Splat!*
The sound of blood spraying erupted from the brow of the elder who had wielded the Star-Moon Umbrella.
His eyes glazed over,
He toppled to the ground, breathing his last.
The others were petrified.
"See? Killing you is truly not difficult for me!" Chen Nan pulled out the short sword that had pierced his head and said, "However, I dislike killing people."
"As long as you testify that Wan Du Zhi intended to use you to kill me."
"I can spare your lives."
Wan Du Zhi, who was watching from afar, his expression changed drastically.
An ominous premonition gripped his heart.
This was not borrowing a knife to kill!
This was clearly inviting disaster upon himself!
Damn it!
He gave him the water-repelling pearl, only to invite a mortal peril.
Was there any justice left in this world?
