"Damn it, that ancient road to heaven in front of you was torn apart so easily? It's probably fake! I should have known better than to make a move and let you go up there, get trapped inside, and turn into bones." The Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon was filled with regret.
"Heh, I really thank you." The Evil Lord's gaze was cold and gloomy.
Although judging from the current situation, the ancient road to heaven that he had just seen was probably fake, it was still something he had worked hard to open, and now it had been destroyed like this, so how could he not be angry?
However, after the tunnel in front of the Demon Harp was torn apart, the bone passage in front of Chen Nan appeared even more realistic. The bones were piled up like mountains, exuding a mysterious and eerie atmosphere, making everyone who saw it feel uneasy.
"That guy Chen Nan is indeed very special. Who is he reincarnated from? I've been observing him for so long, and he just feels familiar, but I just can't be sure." On the moon above the Dugu family, Dugu Xiaoxuan racked her brains, but every familiar person seemed to be missing something. Either this part was a little off, or that part was a little off.
"Is Chen Nan some kind of heaven-defying pawn? Hmm, his cultivation speed is so fast. If it's an arrangement by a heaven-defying figure, then it makes sense." In the dark world, the Heavenly Realm experts whispered among themselves, each with their own guesses and self-consolation.
Even Chen Nan himself had some doubts.
He himself was quite aware of his peculiarities, but he had never figured out the reason for them.
Perhaps, of all those present, only Cao Ya knew the secret about Chen Nan.
But since the final battle never began, Cao Ya clearly wouldn't say much more.
Chen Nan's "divine tomb" is the key.
Although Cao Ya was determined to cultivate to the sixth level and confront the Evil Heavenly Dao head-on, he knew that the hope was very slim. After all, the day of the final battle was not far away and was getting closer and closer.
Therefore, the existence of Chen Nan, the "God's Tomb," is an extremely crucial element.
According to the original timeline, after the great war, the Evil Heavenly Path was destroyed, and all living beings perished, leaving only Chen Nan alive. He gave up the idea of controlling the newly reborn Good Heavenly Path in exchange for the opportunity to revive all living beings.
It's possible that Cao Ya will have to rely on Chen Nan to survive.
Although it remains a big question mark whether the various heroes and powerful beings in this timeline can ultimately defeat the evil Heavenly Dao, it is at least a hope, no matter how slim the probability of its realization may be.
Regarding his future, Cao Ya is preparing for both possibilities and wants both to be strong—although currently, both are quite weak.
Chen Nan's identity... well, telling him now would put too much pressure on him...
Cao Ya sighed softly.
Beside him, Chen Nan stared at the ancient road to heaven before him, paved with corpses, silent and still, like a deathly world since time immemorial, eerie and terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.
"Something's strange!" Chen Nan frowned. It wasn't the first time he'd been puzzled by the unusual feeling he had, but this time it was still beyond his expectations, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
So Chen Nan began to retreat.
Although people didn't know why an ancient road leading to heaven had inexplicably appeared in front of Chen Nan, it didn't affect their next move.
Especially the Evil Lord, the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon, and the Western Land Totem.
They also saw the bone path in front of Chen Nan, an endless road of white bones, similar in mysterious atmosphere to the deep passage in front of the Evil Lord earlier, but its eeriness and cruelty seemed to be even greater.
Two scenarios have emerged regarding the Path to Heaven. With the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon's attack, and through a series of unforeseen events, the Evil Lord's ancient path has vanished. Now, in the Dark World, only a mysterious and eerie ancient path of white bones remains, quite unique. Undoubtedly, this makes them feel threatened.
The three looked at the path of bones in front of Chen Nan with surprise and uncertainty. Then they exchanged glances and seemed to have the same idea. With perfect understanding, they stopped their attacks in an instant and approached Chen Nan from several directions.
Their ideas were aligned: to use Chen Nan as a test subject to see if what was opened was indeed a path to heaven, and what would happen if someone set foot on it.
They were unwilling to risk getting involved themselves.
As for why Chen Nan was chosen instead of just capturing another Heavenly Realm expert and sending them to their death, there are several considerations.
Firstly, Chen Nan is strong enough to experiment with many things; secondly, this bone path appeared inexplicably in front of Chen Nan, indicating that it has some unknown connection with him; thirdly, there is a ninety percent chance that a heaven-defying expert is planning something behind Chen Nan, and that person is far-sighted and would never sit idly by and watch Chen Nan die. If necessary, they will help him, which will naturally trigger more changes in the Heavenly Bone Path.
Three reasons were enough for them to take action against Chen Nan.
Even Cao Ya, who was standing to the side, was not a suitable candidate in their eyes.
Buzzing~~
The three masters, harboring malicious intent, continued to fuel the flames, driving all the Heavenly Rank soul fragments scattered in the air, including those Heavenly Rank fragments that had previously died at the hands of Cao Ya and Chen Nan, into the only remaining bone path.
Their purpose is self-evident.
In the distance, Dragon Baby, Little Dawn, Little Phoenix, and Heavenly Ghost all showed angry expressions.
Chen Nan's path was blocked by the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon, and his face turned ugly, so he had no choice but to stop.
Before him, the road paved with bones finally manifested completely, real and true.
Beside him, the Evil Lord and the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon, who had just been at odds, suddenly became like old friends, chuckling to each other and joining forces to pressure Chen Nan, trying to force him into the unknown space connected by the endless and distant Bone Path.
As for the Western Lands Totem, it blocked Cao Ya's path, preventing him from going to support Chen Nan.
"Chen Nan, please set off." The Evil Lord chuckled.
"Three old bastards!"
Seeing that they were attacking from both sides, trapping this space, and that the Western Earth Totem was intercepting Cao Ya, giving him no chance and not allowing him any support, Chen Nan was furious and cursed bitterly.
“Western Earth Totem, you want to stop me? Don’t forget, you almost died at the hands of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon.” Cao Ya said coldly. In fact, he spread his divine sense and communicated with Chen Nan.
"Your chance lies on that path. Don't worry, you definitely won't die. Trust me, just disguise yourself and then embark on the Bone Path."
Upon hearing Cao Ya's telepathic message, Chen Nan was completely stunned.
“Purple Thunder Sword Ancestor… Brother Cao Ya, are you sure you’re not mistaken? This thing looks like an extremely dangerous place. What if I go up there and die? Even if I don’t die, it will be very painful if I can’t get out. Staying in such a place, lonely and isolated, is enough to drive me crazy!” Chen Nan hurriedly replied via telepathy.
"It's alright, you'll be out soon," Cao Ya continued telepathically, revealing a little detail: it was just Chen Nan's clone or avatar that had appeared; his true body was still deep within the Bone Path. But this was of no consequence.
He wasn't trying to force Chen Nan to die; after all, his relationship with Chen Nan was quite good.
However, this path is indeed an opportunity for Chen Nan, and given his status, Dugu Baitian, the Demon Lord, and Chen Zhan are all paying attention to him, so Chen Nan is definitely not going to die.
"Yes, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will go in and give it a try!"
