Chapter 2378 - 2464: Battle at the Peak

Chapter 2378: Chapter 2464: Battle at the Peak

As the Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map appeared, the eyes of You Ye and the Evil Emperor were fixed upon it.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Seeing Chen Nan emerge from the Five Poison Array, the people within, though in danger, all flew out one by one.

"I’m willing to hand over the Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map. Just don’t make any moves, you two."

Chen Nan handed over the Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map.

Yet, You Ye didn’t move.

He chuckled, "Kid, you’re quite loyal, but I have no reason not to make a move now. In the end, this Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map is mine too."

His figure moved, and he was already battling the Evil Emperor.

At this moment, with the loss of divine power support, the Five Poison Array had already dissipated. The strong individuals from the Bright Temple and Wangtian City rushed out of the formation, fleeing for their lives.

Chen Nan, with no thoughts to spare for them, focused entirely on the Evil Emperor and You Ye.

This You Ye was terrifyingly powerful to the extreme.

The Evil Emperor came to help him, and if he were harmed, Chen Nan would carry the guilt for a lifetime.

However, he couldn’t intervene in this battle between two great strongmen. Among those present, he could only watch as the battle grew fiercer, the shockwaves of their clash destroying countless buildings in Wangtian City.

"Terrifying, any one of them, we’re no match, even if we all go up together."

The Poison Queen’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Such a peak duel, it was the first time she had encountered in her lifetime.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The two voices traveled through the void, like War Gods.

Both wielding a long spear, yet the Evil Emperor’s was a fiery red spear, while You Ye’s glimmered with black light.

"Destined to meet, aren’t we, Evil Emperor? You’re not my match. My Dark Void Spear Technique has nine moves in total. Right now, this is only the fifth move. The ninth move even I cannot control."

After another clash, You Ye and the Evil Emperor retreated hundreds of feet in the void.

"Interesting, my Fiery Fire Melt Rock Spear Technique also has nine moves. Let’s see whether your Dark Void Spear Technique is superior, or mine. Let’s have a good fight."

The Evil Emperor’s wings surged, inhaling and exhaling as nature’s spiritual energy rushed wildly into him, while You Ye remained shrouded in black mist, sometimes visible, yet indistinct.

His strength wasn’t drawn from Heaven and Earth, but constantly increased seemingly from nothing.

You Ye’s black mist grew, his power surged crazily, and the Evil Emperor’s strength too grew wildly.

"It’s terrifying, their powers still increasing. At this rate, all Wangtian City will become their battlefield."

Chen Nan had seen Ziwei Taoist, the most powerful cultivator, casually handle Taowu as if child’s play.

However, Ziwei Taoist didn’t appear to be from an Outer Domain, likely from a Great World.

If so, his capabilities would make sense.

But these two were genuine Hundred Clan Domain strongmen.

The strength they displayed before wasn’t even their peak.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

"Dark Void Spear Technique, Seventh Move!"

"Fiery Fire Melt Rock Spear Technique, Seventh Move!"

A black light and a red light clashed in the void, neither giving way, continually entangled.

Chen Nan was extremely anxious but helpless. He longed to join the battle, but knowing his power disparity was too great. In a Middle Heavenly Position peak battle, he might join, but in a Great Heavenly Position strongmen fight, he’d only distract the Evil Emperor, causing more harm than good.

The Heaven and Earth darkened and brightened alternately, the two forces in the void dazzling even more than You Ye’s previous fight with the Azure Dragon War God.

The strong individuals from Wangtian City and the Bright Temple had long evacuated who knew where.

"Soon the battle will be decided. Little Tower, if Evil Emperor can’t withstand the last blow, you must find a way to save him."

Chen Nan said.

"Rest assured, I understand. However, the Evil Emperor has a mysterious aura I can’t fathom; he won’t easily perish."

The Haotian Tower rotated slightly, wobbling on Chen Nan’s shoulder.

"Yet, You Ye’s power is also frighteningly strong. When these two enter the Domain Master Realm, it won’t be a problem. Rest assured, since he’s here for you, I won’t let him die here."

The Haotian Tower smiled mysteriously.

"Little Tower, do you have any cards you haven’t played? With your current strength, surely you could unlock the treasures in your body, right? There should be plenty of good stuff inside."

Chen Nan probed, recalling the Three-faced God Puppet once retrieved by the Little Tower.

Unfortunately, that Divine Object was used up by him, which felt somewhat wasteful in hindsight.

"All used up, all used up..."

The Little Tower shook its head, leaving Chen Nan unsure if it was truthful or not.

This little guy was sometimes quite stubborn, only helping at critical moments.

Just then, the Heaven and Earth changed color.

The two long spears clashed in the void.

Two terrifying forces spread out in the void, and as Chen Nan looked into the void, he was shocked.

The Evil Emperor was wounded.

A large hole appeared in his chest.

"You Ye is also wounded, similarly in the chest area."

Standing beside Chen Nan, Ye Yiyi noticed his somber expression, knowing her brother’s attention was entirely on the Evil Emperor and reminded him.

"So powerful, the ninth move of these two spear techniques are rarely seen in a lifetime."

Chen Nan observed the Evil Emperor, feeling the force in the void.

"You lost," You Ye said blandly, "I told you, losing today means a dead end for you. Your Qi Fortune isn’t as strong as mine. I’m now second to one in the Dark Holy Temple, superior to ten thousand, the future lord destined to rule all."

You Ye laughed, glancing at the massive wound on his chest. His spear had pierced the Evil Emperor’s left chest, but the Evil Emperor’s spear pierced his right.

One side had a heart, the other didn’t; it was just bad luck.

He, You Ye, still had the power to fight.

"Heh heh, I’m not dead either, am I?"

The Evil Emperor chuckled, not showing a hint of pain from his severe injury. Next moment, the Jade Golden Toad flew over from afar, protecting him.

With the Jade Golden Toad there, the Evil Emperor suddenly emitted a bizarre fire element power, his momentum climbing continuously.

His wound started healing rapidly.

"Years ago Ah Heng indeed cursed me. But that curse was meant as a reminder to remember her when I was weak. When she jumped into the Nether River, she used the curse only a Golden Butterfly Clan’s holy maiden could perform. When my life is in danger, the curse burns my life force to grant me manifold strength. If I am to die, you won’t survive either."

The Evil Emperor coldly spoke, facing death without any hint of fear.

"Burning Life Force..."

Chen Nan’s expression changed, and he flew towards the place where the two were in the void.

He had just reached the Evil Emperor’s side when the void rippled in the distance. The next moment, a figure appeared in the void, graceful and elegant, with a golden mask on her face.
