Chapter 1612: Chapter 1698: Residual Soul Entering the Body

While astonished by the power of this residual soul, Chen Nan was somewhat puzzled.

He recalled how the Ape Ancestor turned pale upon hearing about the Abyss Divine Tree within him.

At that time, the Ape Ancestor seemed quite afraid to kill him.

Chen Nan could somewhat understand this, because due to his constitution, the Abyss Divine Tree feared the residual powers of the Primordial Heaven Emperor, thus maintaining a subtle balance within him.

But if he died, this balance would be disrupted.

However, thinking this way, the Abyss Divine Tree should actually want him dead, so that it could act without restraint in the Four Extremes World.

But then, the Sky Dragon King said to go to the Tower of Gods and Demons for re-sealing, also because the Abyss Divine Tree was within him. This made it seem like the Abyss Divine Tree might help him.

Chen Nan recalled how back in Yun Mengze, his divine sense was almost consumed by a blood-colored insect, and then the Abyss Divine Tree saved him. This seemed like the Abyss Divine Tree was willing to help him.

The problem was too complex, and after thinking for a while, Chen Nan couldn’t figure it out, so he didn’t dwell on it.

In the next moment, a piece of ancient-looking black stone appeared in the hand of the residual soul. The stone seemed about palm-sized, ordinary, and didn’t differ much in shape from the stones on the Divine Mountain above.

”Is this the legendary God-beating Stone?”

The Sky Dragon King was evidently seeing this ancient strange stone for the first time, somewhat surprised.

”Haha, it is indeed the God-beating Stone. This stone can restrain the things inside the Tower of Gods and Demons. However, no one knows whether it was refined in the Ancient Times or has existed in this world for countless ages,” the residual soul said, then retreated into the shadows.

Unexpectedly, obtaining the God-beating Stone was so easy.

Chen Nan felt quite pleased and reached out to touch the stone, almost leaping back from its heat.

Given his current constitution, ordinary burns couldn’t harm him. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the moment his hand touched the stone, a power of runes seemed to faintly emerge within it.

It was the first time Chen Nan had encountered such strong rune power; these runes were unlike any he had seen before.

”Chen Nan, these runes don’t seem to be from the Four Extremes World, and they’re much stronger than those of the Outer Heaven Demons,” said the little Heavenly Demon, also puzzled that such a mere stone could surpass the rune power of their Heavenly Demon Clan.

”Let’s leave quickly. The flame power here is too strong, and there are numerous Devil Souls, which are formidable beings from the Ancient Era.”

Watching the Sky Dragon King store the God-beating Stone, Chen Nan urged them to leave swiftly.

At that moment, change suddenly struck. Out of the endless darkness of the Demon Abyss, a shadow dashed towards them at an alarming speed.

Chen Nan, the Sky Dragon King, and the little Heavenly Demon couldn’t react in time. This scene evoked the helpless feeling Chen Nan had when faced with the blood-colored insect; it was a similar situation.

Given that his body now harbored the Heart Demon of a supreme being of the Demon Path, coupled with the Abyss Divine Tree and the blood-colored insect, he was already full of toxins and wasn’t worried about adding more. Chen Nan’s concern was for the Sky Dragon King and the little Heavenly Demon.

They were the key figures in this journey to the Tower of Gods and Demons, while Chen Nan saw himself as a mere supporting character due to his relatively weaker strength. They couldn’t afford to have anything happen to them.

The Demon Abyss was indeed a sinister place, as it seemed to bring forth whatever he feared the most.

As he tensed up, channeling his immortal power and focusing his divine sense to resist the residual soul, he watched helplessly as the little Heavenly Demon panicked, and then the residual soul entered his body.

Compared to the Sky Dragon King and the little Heavenly Demon, Chen Nan naturally held deeper feelings for the latter.

The little Heavenly Demon was almost raised by him. Although their conversations might be casual, their bond was undeniable.

Chen Nan and the Sky Dragon King both looked at the little Heavenly Demon.

The little Heavenly Demon seemed to shiver slightly and then muttered to himself, ”Chen Nan, it feels like something just got inside me.”

”No kidding, didn’t it try to seize your Sea of Consciousness and attack your Divine Soul?”

Chen Nan looked at him, even though the strongest residual soul couldn’t instantly take over the little Heavenly Demon’s body, the little Heavenly Demon seemed okay.

”No, but...”

The little Heavenly Demon scratched his head, seemingly unsure of what to say next.

The Sky Dragon King, equally perplexed, said, ”Although these mighty ones of the Demon Path have fallen and left residual souls here, trying to revive, I’ve never seen something like body seizing. But if it wasn’t trying to seize, why did it enter your body?”

Chen Nan was getting anxious, ”Just say what’s going on in one go!”

He wasn’t the little Heavenly Demon’s mind reader and naturally didn’t know what was happening in his body.

The little Heavenly Demon timidly said, ”Chen Nan, I feel that the residual soul seems familiar, and right after it entered me, it disappeared completely. I can’t find it at all. Do you think it might be my past life?”

Chen Nan was speechless. Do Outer Heaven Demons even have past lives?

Outer Heaven Demons are formed from resentments, resentment doesn’t have past lives; it might have this life, but such resentments generally arise after a person’s death. To form something as powerful as the little Heavenly Demon, it shouldn’t be a weak resentment.

Listening to him imply familiarity with the residual soul, could it be that this residual soul was part of the soul of his resentment’s essence?

”You haven’t noticed anything particularly wrong, right?”

Chen Nan confirmed again, and seeing the little Heavenly Demon nod, he felt relieved.

The Sky Dragon King also shook his head, ”This is very strange. It’s my first time encountering something like this. Those masters of the Demon Path, as mighty as they were, shouldn’t seize a Heavenly Demon’s body. While their residual souls are strong, attempting to seize someone is extremely risky, almost a death wish. However, there is one possibility...”

”What possibility?”

Chen Nan was indeed worried that the residual soul could now harness all its power to infiltrate the little Heavenly Demon’s body and launch a movement to seize it. He couldn’t always stay by the little Heavenly Demon’s side. If the opposing party was indeed a master of the Demon Path, imitating the little Heavenly Demon wouldn’t be too challenging.

Then someday, the ’little Heavenly Demon’ with him might not be the true one.

”There’s another possibility: the resentment essence that formed the little Heavenly Demon may indeed be an ancient powerful being, and the residual soul doesn’t conflict with the resentment. Those ancient Demon Path masters were quite twisted. After their fall, they could produce many strange things and then wait for a chance to return to the world.”

The Sky Dragon King spoke with a tinge of lament. He was very powerful now but was still nothing compared to those ancient supreme beings.
