Chapter 1957 - 2043: Luring the Enemy into the Trap
"Alright, everyone, come over here. The Dragon Emperor’s formation has a total of eight gates: Rest Gate, Life Gate, Damage Gate, Block Gate, Jing Gate, Death Gate, Shock Gate, and Open Gate. The dangerous gates are Damage, Block, Jing, Death, and Shock Gates, with the Death Gate being the most dangerous, located in the southwest Kun Palace, associated with earth. The Death Gate directly opposes the Gen Palace’s Life Gate."
Chen Nan stated professionally, then pointed to the formation. "The Dragon Emperor is stationed at the center. Yun Hua, you three guard the Life Gate, Rest Gate, and Open Gate to prevent unexpected events. Miss Bai and I will support you anytime."
After speaking, Chen Nan personally went over to brief the three women.
Trapping them here is crucial. We can’t let their talents join forces with the Star Soul Holy Land, or else the Dragon Emperor’s situation will be dangerous with the two great sacred places working together.
The next moment, Chen Nan took out Holy Beast Meat and started grilling.
The Holy Beast killed in Wanshou Valley’s Spiritual Beast Garden was enormous. Consuming it in a few days would be impossible—perhaps not even in a year. Holy Beast Meat contains Spiritual Energy and naturally won’t spoil.
Over Yuehua Sacred Land, a tantalizing aroma wafted through the air.
"Chen Nan, your grilling skills are getting better and better." Ou Yifei took a large bite of the roasted Holy Beast Meat and couldn’t help but praise him.
"Heh heh, my skills are far inferior to those of the Heavenly People Clan women in Yuehua Sacred Land," Chen Nan said mischievously, his words dripping with innuendo.
While saying this, wearing a playful grin, he failed to notice Bai Yue’er standing up, grasping the Supreme Sacred Weapon in her hand.
Everyone feasted heartily, eating and drinking to their fill, and then took their designated positions to begin cultivation.
With increasingly formidable opponents ahead, they became more aware of the importance of enhancing their strength.
After several hours, everything was quiet.
The void was very calm, and there was no sign of the Yuehua Sacred Land people emerging.
As everyone relaxed further, three luminous arrows suddenly shot toward Yun Hua, Ou Yifei, and Ji Yueshen.
Realizing the danger, the three quickly channeled Divine Power to defend themselves. However, the arrows exploded mid-flight, unleashing a terrifying force that sent them flying.
A figure flashed from the Yuehua Sacred Land’s palace into the formation, seizing a treasure, intending to escape through the opened Life Gate.
"What’s going on? This was clearly the Life Gate just now. I even opened three gates simultaneously for safety. Not good; I’ve been tricked." The figure muttered to himself, frowning.
Just as Chen Nan was about to give chase, suddenly, Bai Yue’er attacked him from behind with the Supreme Sacred Weapon aiming directly at the back of his head.
"Bang!"
Chen Nan blocked the attack with his Golden Phoenix Winged Spear in an instant and chuckled coldly, "You treacherous woman, finally showing your true colors?"
"You..."
Bai Yue’er’s expression turned ugly.
"How did you know?"
Her aura began to rise, reaching the Supreme Fifth Realm Peak, Supreme Sixth Realm Peak, until she stopped at the Supreme Seventh Layer Heaven.
Wings grew from her back; she was from the Heavenly People Clan.
The Supreme Seventh Layer Heaven was indeed her true Realm.
"Your Secret Technique for concealing your Realm is indeed impressive, even deceiving the Dragon Emperor. Unfortunately for you, didn’t you know? Nowadays, I’m wary of unfamiliar women, so my vigilance was heightened," Chen Nan laughed coldly.
"You pretended to be pursued, covered in countless wounds, invoking sympathy. Even your fake identity was convincing. Bai Yue’er, indeed, there was an elder named that who ventured into the Outer Domain during ancient times. But you’re definitely not her."
Chen Nan was adamant, "Because it seemed too authentic, it warranted suspicion. Yifei and the others never addressed me by name, but you knew my surname, Chen. Also, you lack a fragrance."
"Women usually have a natural scent. It’s said that Yuehua Sacred Land’s experts absorb the essence of the sun and moon, cleansing their bodies to become flawless and undetectable. Even their aura is imperceptible. So I tested you, and unexpectedly, you got so angry you nearly died from it. While I’m a bit lecherous, I’m not unscrupulous," Chen Nan snorted.
The white-robed woman’s face turned icy, "Your explanation of the formation’s Eight Gates was to trick me too?"
Chen Nan nodded, "Of course. The Array Eye Treasure is my Demon Suppressing Cauldron. The Dragon Emperor’s strength is formidable. There’s no flaw in the Open Gate and Rest Gate, not even in the Life Gate. Mastering Life and Death change, you fell for it."
Chen Nan chuckled slyly, watching the Dragon Emperor seize the opportunity to infiltrate the palace amidst the Yuehua Sacred Land an expert’s emergence from their killing formation.
"Indeed, we were deceived. But don’t forget, Yuehua Sacred Land has countless experts. Even though your Divine Dragon ally is strong, containing him in the formation won’t last long. Are you sure this formation can trap Yuehua Sacred Land’s Supreme Elder after your ally departs?"
The white-robed woman sneered. "Bai Yue’er was never my real name. When we explored a Top Supreme Tomb, we coincidentally found the name and portrait and decided to borrow them."
"A Top Supreme Tomb? So the one in the tomb was a prodigy fallen from my Four Extremes World." Chen Nan’s eyes flashed with disbelief. He had planned to use that power to save his master, but if the strong ones were from the Human Clan, it would be challenging.
Seizing that power would completely extinguish the hope of resurrection.
"Humph!"
The supreme figure of Yuehua Sacred Land was about to launch an attack on Chen Nan, but at that moment, the once-unremarkable formation set by the Dragon Emperor erupted with brilliant radiance, binding her like a rope.
Bound by these restraints, Chen Nan realized that the elite previously trying to break free from the formation was at the Supreme Eighth Layer Heaven.
Such formidable strength would have spelled disaster for him without the Dragon Emperor’s Confining Dragon Array.
Chen Nan felt a bit panicked.
But observing the two shaken experts from Yuehua Sacred Land, his worry lessened.
One at Supreme Seventh Layer, the other at Supreme Eighth Layer Heaven, their scheming was turned against them by Chen Nan’s alertness and prior notification to the Dragon Emperor. It left them nearly frothing with rage.
They were trapped while the Dragon Emperor invaded Yuehua Sacred Land, driving their anxiety.
"Yifei, are you all okay?"
Chen Nan approached Ou Yifei and the others, infused Divine Power into them, confirmed they were fine, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He’d kept silent, fearing Yun Hua and Ji Yueshen weren’t reliable. Even though he was ninety percent sure, seeing their injuries still worried him.
"Chen Nan, we’re alright... cough cough... try to keep them trapped longer. This old woman has the power of the Supreme Eighth Layer; if she attacks, the Dragon Emperor will find it very troublesome," Ou Yifei propped herself up and said.
She barely finished when an angry voice came from afar, "Rong’er, your power is slightly lesser, making the formation’s restraints weaker. Let me, the overseer, help you break free. Kill that nasty brat first."
The Supreme Elder of Yuehua Sacred Land unleashed Divine Power to shatter the restraints on the white-robed woman. The bonds began to break rapidly, stirring fear in Chen Nan. ’Am I really about to face an adversary at the Supreme Seventh Layer Heaven?’
