Deluding oneself into attempting to climb the dragon bed—truly beyond foolish.

The Little Heavenly Demon and the Black Forest Demon King had been holding back their frustration for a long time. Although they possessed formidable strength, they had no chance to strike in the presence of the Demon Ancestor. Now, however, the situation was entirely different.

Guarding closely beside Chen Nan, they rapidly charged and bombarded the planet below.

"Boom!"

With a deafening crash, the three of them simultaneously struck an invisible grand array, and all were rebounded hundreds of feet backward before they could steady their footing.

"Attack! The cultivators of the Yin-Yang Sect refuse to see reason; today we shall teach them a proper lesson."

A blood-red gleam flashed in Chen Nan’s eyes as purple divine fire and green demonic fire simultaneously ignited within his pupils.

Wielding his Fengchi Liujin Halberd, he struck once more toward the array, while the Vast Heaven Pagoda soared into the void at the same time.

"Chen Nan, this array is founded upon the principles of heaven, earth, Yin, and Yang. Relying solely on brute force to destroy it is a bit too slow. You must guide the energies of Yin and Yang to serve your own purpose. Before heaven and earth were cleaved, when Yin and Yang were yet undefined, that was Chaos. Your Chaotic Holy Body can absorb the Yin and Yang forces within this array."

What the Vast Heaven Pagoda feared was not the existence of any mighty entity upon this planet, but rather the possibility that the Demon Ancestor might receive word and arrive. The opponent's strength was terrifying, and given their current situation, they were far from being a match. If things went wrong, not only would the Ape Ancestor fail to be rescued, but the others would also be dragged down with him.

Nevertheless, since Chen Nan had resolved to take this action, the Vast Heaven Pagoda naturally would not oppose it.

"Rumble..."

Channeling his immortal genesis energy, Chen Nan pushed the power of his Chaotic Holy Body to its absolute peak. Transforming into a human-shaped weapon, he assaulted the defensive barrier formed by the array.

There is no impenetrable wall in this world. The Ancestor of the Yin-Yang Sect had perished within the Primordial Battlefield of Gods and Demons, and the Yin-Yang Sect would never let the Heaven-诛 Alliance off lightly. The Ape Ancestor was in grave danger right now; if the Yin-Yang Sect were to push matters to mutual destruction, the losses would be catastrophic.

Therefore, Chen Nan needed to rescue the Ape Ancestor as swiftly as possible.

Just as he was launching a full-scale assault, a voice suddenly echoed through the void of the planet. It was an extremely bizarre voice, impossible to distinguish as male or female, young or old, yet it carried a peculiar, mesmerizing charm.

"Chen Nan, you truly live up to your reputation as the bearer of the Chaotic Holy Body. You are far more powerful than this seat imagined. However, there is something you may not know: the reason this seat chose this planet to ambush you in the first place is because right at its center lies an ancient teleportation array. In the blink of an eye, this array can transport that old ape millions of miles away. Now, why don't we discuss some terms?"

A telepathic message from the Vast Heaven Pagoda dropped into Chen Nan's mind: "He speaks the truth. There is indeed an ancient teleportation array on this planet that has already been activated. If the Ape Ancestor is teleported away, finding him will become extremely difficult."

Tens of thousands of metaphorical curse words stampoped across Chen Nan’s heart; the scheming of the Yin-Yang Sect was truly profound.

"State your terms quickly or shut your trap! If you don't hand over the Ape Ancestor today, do you believe I won't make your entire Yin-Yang Sect vanish from the Coiling Dragon Star Region?" Fierce hostility flared in Chen Nan's eyes.

The Ape Ancestor and Black Forest had crossed realms to follow him, and Chen Nan would not allow any harm to come to them.

That bizarre voice sounded once more: "Chen Nan, you truly are a monstrous talent of the human race. Even with a bargaining chip in this seat's hands, you still dare to be so arrogant. Very well. If you wish to save the Ape Ancestor, kneel down and kowtow three resounding heads, and this seat will consider releasing him."

Little Heavenly Demon: "Chen Nan, don't do it!"

Black Forest Demon King: "Master, fight them to the death! Even if the Ape Ancestor were here, he would never allow you to humble yourself like this."

Chen Nan gave a wry smile and transmitted a strand of divine sense to the Vast Heaven Pagoda: "Little Tower, you really have nothing to say?"

The Vast Heaven Pagoda sighed, its voice filled with boundless vicissitudes: "No one can stop you from doing what you want to do, and no one can command you to do what you refuse to do."

"Isn't it just three kowtows? I'll kowtow!" Chen Nan chuckled and made a gesture as if to kneel.

Almost simultaneously, a sinister laugh echoed from the distant void: "Chen Nan, this deity always assumed you had no weaknesses. It turns out I simply didn't understand you. Back in the void battlefield, when I threatened you with your own life, you refused to bow your head. Yet now, for the sake of an ape, you are willing to kowtow. Are you certain this is worth it?"

The phantom of the Demon Ancestor materialized in the starry sky, gazing down at Chen Nan. His laughter carried an unmistakable trace of disdain: "Once those three heavy kowtows of yours touch the ground today, within a few hours, you will become the laughingstock of the entire Coiling Dragon Star Region, and by then, your Heaven-诛 Alliance will also turn into a massive joke."

"Is that so?"

Straightening his spine, Chen Nan raised his head to look at the phantom of the Demon Ancestor in the starry sky, a hint of inquiry in his gaze.

A mocking glint flashed across the eyes of the Demon Ancestor's phantom: "Chen Nan, do not think that because this is merely an avatar of mine, you can afford to harbor any illusions. Today, united with the Yin-Yang Sect, this place shall be your burial ground!"

"Chen Nan, this is an avatar of the Demon Ancestor, possessing roughly twenty percent of his true body's strength. We have a chance! As long as we can destroy this old bastard's avatar, we can weaken him."

The voice of the Vast Heaven Pagoda rang out in Chen Nan's mind: "However, even with only twenty percent of his true body's strength, he is far more powerful than a half-step Supreme. Tower will entangle him; find a way to obliterate him."

In an instant, Chen Nan communicated mentally with the Little Heavenly Demon and Black Forest.

Overjoyed and without waiting for Chen Nan to elaborate, the Little Heavenly Demon shifted his form, donning a half-step Supreme-grade armor, and charged directly toward the Demon Ancestor.

Clutched tightly in his hand was his brick-shaped Chaotic Stone. Damn it, he could finally hold his head high and vent his anger!

"What the hell, Old Mo is acting far too impulsively! Even if the Demon Ancestor's avatar only has twenty percent of his power, he is not easy to deal with. Besides, that powerhouse from the Yin-Yang Sect is clearly lurking with covetous eyes right now. By the looks of it, they intend to execute a pincer attack."

Calculating rapidly in his heart, Chen Nan hurriedly charged toward the Demon Ancestor's avatar.

The Black Forest Demon King moved at the very same moment, brandishing his divine artifact and slaying toward the avatar of the Demon Ancestor.

That androgynous voice of the Yin-Yang Sect sounded once again, unmistakably laced with fury: "Chen Nan, you never intended to kowtow to this deity at all! You dared to deceive me!"

As these words were spoken, the voice traveled rapidly from afar to near, and judging by the sound, it reached the void in the blink of an eye.

Chen Nan raised an eyebrow, secretly startled: "The Yin-Yang Sect actually has another powerhouse, and judging by the aura, he is only stronger than the Ancestor of Yin-Yang. No wonder he was able to set an ambush to capture the Ape Ancestor and forge an alliance with the Demon Ancestor."

While he was pondering, a strip of red silk violently blasted through the void toward his back.

This red silk seemed to have manifested out of nowhere between heaven and earth. Chen Nan attempted to dodge, only to find that the speed of the red silk far surpassed his own, and the sheer force embedded within it exerted an irresistible suppression upon him.
