Chapter 1436: Entering the Inner Sea
Only Chen Nan knows how mighty is the power contained within that inconspicuous withered arm, a power that can make Nascent Soul Realm cultivators tremble.
Unfortunately, the power left in the arm can only be used three times, and the unaware Chen Nan had already wasted two times while in the Secret Realm, almost draining himself dry.
The arm gradually restored to a normal state, even showing a flush of blood, looking like a living person’s arm, but at the cost of Chen Nan’s entire blood energy.
When blood energy is drained, it’s essence blood that’s consumed; Chen Nan could barely hold on, nearly being reduced to a dried corpse.
Just when he thought he was going to be drained to death, the arm finally stopped absorbing, and then a heaven-shaking force abruptly erupted from the arm.
Everyone only saw an image of a palm fiercely pressing against the barrier, in an instant the seawater outside the barrier surged and overturned, and the indestructible barrier dramatically caved in, eventually unable to withstand, breaking open a large hole directly!
At this moment, Chen Nan was like a dried corpse, putting away the arm that had utterly lost its power, looking down at Yuan Sensen on the flying boat with a smile.
The Demon Clan members were all ecstatic, as the barrier broke, they could enter the Inner Sea, and the Divine Calculator was even more excitedly jumping up.
The Inner Sea is right in front!
The seawater madly poured in from the broken barrier area, Ao Hao was ready to maneuver the flying boat through the barrier, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred. At the broken barrier area, a black vortex suddenly appeared out of thin air.
A powerful suction ensued, targeting everyone and every demon, drawing them into it; even the flying boat was sucked into the vortex together.
Chen Nan completely lost consciousness, his last sight was seeing the panicked Yuan Sensen trying to reach for him, he also wanted to reach out in response.
But in the next moment, he was plunged into total darkness.
The vortex lasted only a short time, sucking Chen Nan and the Demon Clan in, then disappeared without a trace, while the broken barrier quickly healed, eventually restoring to its original state.
The Yin Beasts surrounded the barrier in impotent rage, then all retreated into the black mist.
...
Chen Nan felt like he was endlessly sinking, descending in the darkness, as if there were no end at all.
He couldn’t see, couldn’t hear, the world seemed to plunge into endless darkness, as if time had vanished.
He had no idea how long had passed, Chen Nan saw a ray of white light in the darkness, like a crack, it was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, desperately going towards the white light.
Chen Nan opened his eyes, the glaring sunlight made him instinctively cover his eyes, he seemed to have forgotten sunlight having been at the Heavenly Cutting Abyss for too long.
His mind was filled with chaos, memories gradually being recovered.
"Sensen?!"
He suddenly sat up, looked around, but did not see any familiar person.
Chen Nan squinted slightly, finding himself seemingly in some cave, he was lying on a stone bed, padded underneath with the furry hide of an unknown demon beast.
Not far away, there was a stone table and a few stone stools, sunlight was coming in from a round hole overhead, like a skylight.
He didn’t know where he was, quickly checked his cultivation, but suddenly his heart sank, as his cultivation had actually fallen to the Third Layer of Foundation Establishment!
Upon closely examining his body, besides the injuries from battling with Yin Beasts, and the Yin Energy erosion remnants, the main culprit causing his cultivation to drop were four threads of Yin Qi.
These were released by the dead Yin Beast when he fought the giant bear Yin Beast, burrowing into his body like maggots in the bones, ceaselessly absorbing his mana, suppressing his realm.
To recover, besides healing, he needed to resolve these Yin Qi threads.
Chen Nan tried to expel the threads, but he was seriously injured, and when breaking the barrier using "the arm", he was nearly drained dry, with more than half his essence blood absorbed.
Recovery would take quite some time.
Another worry was Chen Nan didn’t know where he was now, nor how much time had passed, he only knew he should have entered the Inner Sea.
He didn’t know if there was danger here, or where Yuan Sensen and the others went, it was really a total blackout.
Chen Nan struggled to stand, discovering bandages wrapped his wounds, and could smell the scent of medicine, someone must have treated him.
Clearly, someone had saved him.
He step by step walked towards the cave entrance, his movements somewhat stiff, finally walking out of the cave, confronted by a floral and grassy fragrance.
Chen Nan raised his hand to shield his eyes from the somewhat glaring sunlight, finding himself seemingly in a valley, in front was a small grove, outside the grove was a bloom of wildflowers.
"What kind of place is this?" He furrowed his brow.
Just then, a tiger’s roar sounded, making the woods tremble, a giant tiger appeared, stretching over three zhang, jumping agilely in front of Chen Nan.
Chen Nan instantly became vigilant, although his cultivation had dropped, his physique was still intact, even with damaged essence energy, he still had the ability to fight desperately.
However, the giant tiger didn’t attack him, its tiger eyes had a human-like disdain, it was then Chen Nan realized there was a person on the tiger’s back.
The person jumped down from the tiger’s back, looking at Chen Nan with delight: "You’ve awakened!"
The newcomer was a woman, cheerful and outgoing in laughter, wearing a green dress, her hair styled into two buns, looking pure and lovely, smiling with two deep dimples.
When she smiled showing her teeth, you could see her cute little tiger teeth.
Chen Nan used Divine Sense to scan, finding the young lady was a Second-Layer Golden Core cultivator, it was then he suddenly hesitated.
Because he found his Divine Sense was not severely injured, and its intensity comparable to a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
Remembering the Yin Qi Crystals he fought desperately for, he quickly checked the Immortal Palace Space, seeing the crystals piled like mountains, he finally relaxed.
The lady briskly walked up to Chen Nan, marveling: "You really are tough to kill, you survived through this, no need to thank me, because my dream is to be a female knight striving for righteousness!"
Such a lovely temperament made Chen Nan relax, seeming not to be a bad person, he hurriedly clasped his hands: "Thank you, lady, for saving my life." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"May I know the lady’s name? Where is this Immortal Mountain? When you saved me, did you see anyone else?"
The lady wrinkled her nose: "You have so many questions, I’ll answer them one by one."
"I am Yun Ying, this is Moon River Valley, when I saved you, I only found you alone, didn’t see anyone else." She answered the questions one by one.
Chen Nan’s expression turned dim, it seemed he was separated from Yuan Sensen and the other members of the Demon Clan, he could only pray in his heart for Yuan Sensen’s safety.
