Chapter 1435: The Final Trump Card
Chen Nan fought fiercely, standing guard outside the cabin, as Yin Beasts fell one after another under the Demon Suppressing Sword, but it was a great drain on Chen Nan too.
Moreover, each Yin Beast had its own strengths. For example, there was a cat-like Yin Beast with three tails, which spewed out a massive black mist, enveloping Chen Nan.
Trapped in the black mist, it was as if all five senses were sealed, and the cat-like Yin Beast took advantage of its speed, inflicting significant injuries on Chen Nan.
There was also a Yin Beast that could hide within the Yin Energy. It was impossible for Chen Nan to distinguish it amidst the pervasive and dense Yin Energy everywhere.
The variety of Yin Beasts seemed endless, and Chen Nan was almost completely spent, persisting solely on sheer willpower.
Other members of the Demon Clan also suffered heavy losses, with more than half their numbers reduced, and the Flying Boat was so battered that it seemed it might fall apart at any moment.
Yet, Ao Hao never stopped moving forward. Even when besieged by several Demon King Level Yin Beasts, he didn’t forget to steer the Flying Boat.
Finally, they saw the dawn of hope.
Ahead of them appeared a spot of light, standing out like a lighthouse in the night. Many members of the Demon Clan even burst into tears of joy.
"Hold on a little longer!"
Ao Hao smashed a Yin Beast with a claw and shouted to the remaining members of the Demon Clan, then steered the Flying Boat towards the light, crushing Yin Beasts in its path.
The spot of light grew larger in their view, and finally, they rushed into the light, breaking past the range of the black mist!
In front of them was a gigantic barrier, with light emanating from it, and beyond the barrier was the surging sea.
"Is this the other side of the Heavenly Cutting Abyss? Beyond the barrier, is it the Inner Sea?" Chen Nan murmured to himself, the answer already implied.
They were at the bottom of the Heavenly Cutting Abyss, equating to being underwater. The barrier isolated the sea on the other side, which seemed no different from the seabed of the Outer Sea on this side.
Deep in the mysterious seabed, they couldn’t even see any islands or living creatures.
"Move aside!"
Ao Hao shouted, his massive body charging towards the barrier, releasing a burst of Dragon Breath. The ferocious power distorted even the space around them.
But when the Dragon Breath hit the barrier, not even a ripple appeared, causing the hearts of the once elated members of the Demon Clan to sink to the bottom.
They had clearly reached the Inner Sea, with only a barrier blocking their way, yet they just couldn’t breach the barrier.
To fall before the finish line was the most despairing thing of all.
Behind them, Yin Beasts emerged from the black mist, still refusing to give up. The members of the Demon Clan on the Flying Boat hurried forward to block them, but it seemed they had reached a dead end.
Ao Hao reverted to human form, landed on the Flying Boat, and sighed deeply as he looked at the impenetrable barrier: "It seems that we’re doomed to die here."
"Is there really no way?" Chen Nan was extremely unwilling.
Divine Calculator looked at the Inner Sea beyond the barrier, his expression growing somber.
Ao Hao said nothing, directly handing over the large amount of collected Yin Qi Crystals to Chen Nan, then approached the barrier, retrieving the last Feather of Luan Kong from his possession.
The Feather had the power to tear through space, and Ao Hao placed all his hopes on it.
Chen Nan glanced at the Yin Qi Crystals Ao Hao handed over, his heart slightly moved. Even amidst the fierce battle, Ao Hao hadn’t forgotten his promise, which touched him deeply.
As the Feather was activated, a vast aura surged into the sky, and the space ahead twisted violently, seeming about to split open at any moment.
But the barrier remained firm, unmoved, until the Feather’s power was exhausted, without a change.
Ao Hao gave a bitter smile, despair filling his eyes: "To break through this barrier might require power beyond the Nascent Soul Realm, but how could that be possible?"
Behind, the members of the Demon Clan continued their fight, holding off the tide of Yin Beasts. When they learned that hope was gone, some even charged straight into the Yin Beasts.
"The Demon Clan is immortal!"
A Great Demon roared, its Demon Core suddenly exploding, a fiery mushroom cloud rising and shattering the nearby Yin Beasts!
The devastating scene sent chills through everyone, as elderly and weak members of the Demon Clan in the cabin rushed out, unwilling to die pathetically to the Yin Beasts.
Other Great Demons and Demon Kings followed suit, opting for self-destruction to maintain the dignity of the Demon Clan.
Yuan Sensen ran before Chen Nan, deeply inhaling his scent: "Husband, even though we’ve been married for just over a month, if there is a next life, I will marry you again."
Seeing the woman in his arms wanting to die together, Chen Nan could no longer hold back.
"Stop, I can lead you past the barrier!"
Chen Nan’s words left everyone stunned, but nobody believed it.
A Demon King snorted: "Chen Nan, it’s unnecessary to comfort us at this point. Dying together, you are one of our members. Don’t be a coward."
Ao Hao also sighed: "You’re only in the Golden Core Realm, don’t worry, I’ll die before you, and even if I die, I’ll make these Yin Beasts pay!"
Chen Nan was growing anxious, with only Divine Calculator darting forward to him, exclaiming: "If you have any cards up your sleeve, it’s time to use them! Do you want to save them for after you’re dead?"
Since the time in the Great Swamp, Divine Calculator understood one thing, and that was Chen Nan’s pockets seem endless, and some of his trump cards were unimaginably powerful.
Since they hadn’t been in touch for a while, who knew what heaven-defying treasures Chen Nan had gained?
Chen Nan nodded, not wasting words, diving his mind into the Immortal Palace Space, and when he opened his eyes, a withered arm appeared in his hand.
The arm seemed dried up, with no Spiritual Energy fluctuations, clearly just an ordinary arm.
"Is that it?" Divine Calculator’s eyes widened: "Junior Brother, don’t joke around, I really don’t want to die!"
"Trust me!"
Chen Nan patted the Yuan Sensen in his arms, kissed her forehead, and then flew into the air, standing above the Flying Boat, blood energy flowing wildly into the arm.
As the dried arm absorbed the blood energy, it slowly swelled, radiating an awe-inspiring aura, ancient and majestic, as if an Immortal or Buddha had descended!
Ao Hao and the other members of the Demon Clan finally noticed something amiss, turning their shocked gazes towards the arm, their spirits shaking.
"Could it really be the arm of an ’Immortal’?"
"Just the aura makes me want to kneel!"
"Perhaps... he really can breach the barrier!"
Chen Nan ignored the murmurs of the Demon Clan. This arm was acquired in the Secret Realm of Golden Sun Island. According to Huang Boyang’s remnant soul, the arm belonged to a "human hero." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
From the fact that the body was separately suppressed, it could be gleaned that the owner of the arm was a "defiant" one. Though not an Immortal or god, they challenged the Immortals and gods themselves!
