Chapter 1451 - 1444: Facing Taiyin Directly

Chen Nan’s cultivation advanced from the Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer Perfection to the Sixth-Layer Golden Core Realm.Previously, after Chen Nan had slain Lin Qingfeng and Jiang Caixian, two True Inheritors, he left the island and found an Immortal Cultivation Market on a nearby island.

Since the market was filled with both good and bad, he blended in, escaping into the Time Domain of the Immortal Palace Space to accelerate healing and cultivation, finally clearing the last strand of Yin Qi Threads from his body.

Moreover, against all odds, his cultivation broke through the barrier, stepping directly into the Sixth-Layer Golden Core Realm!

After the breakthrough, Chen Nan quickly returned. Although his cultivation was far inferior to Guo Qing’s group, he was confident he could escape with Yun Ying.

Upon his return, his Divine Sense noticed a black object trying to merge with Yun Ying, and he couldn’t stand it, kicking it away with one swift motion.

Zhang Sen shook his head at Chen Nan, took a sip from the gourd of wine, and sighed: "What a pity, you’re skilled in Alchemy. If you were willing to join us, my position would be yours in the future, why oppose us?"

Seeing Zhang Sen’s hypocritical, compassionate facade made Chen Nan feel disgusted: "Old dog, stop pretending, you’re just a madman, I must kill you!"

Zhang Sen didn’t expect Chen Nan to curse at him like that, and in a moment, his face turned red with anger, furious words squeezed through his teeth: "Fine, very fine!"

"Who exactly are you? Why must you meddle?" Qiao Que glared coldly at Chen Nan, questioning harshly, while slowly maneuvering his body.

Soon, Guo Qing’s group had surrounded Chen Nan.

"Me? Just a loose cultivator who can’t stand you bullying a young girl," Chen Nan said indifferently, but his heart was tense, mana surging within, ready for action at any moment.

At this moment, after a wave of tumultuous emotions, Yun Ying finally calmed down a bit. She was genuinely happy that Chen Nan would rescue her but also didn’t want to burden him.

"Chen Nan, you should leave, I beg you, I don’t want you to get involved..." she cried out.

Seeing her sobbing so sorrowfully, Chen Nan slowly approached and helped her up, untying the ropes on her, gently wiping away her tears.

"Don’t worry, since I’m here, no one can harm you."

At this moment, Yun Ying felt an incomparable warmth in her heart.

Lord Taiyin, kicked away by Chen Nan, slowly emerged from the dust cloud. Its face still emotionless, as if getting kicked was of no consequence.

"Human, your courage is commendable, but daring to return alone is extremely foolish. I can’t comprehend such foolish bravery."

Chen Nan raised his eyes to look, slightly frowned, then after holding it in for a while, he finally said: "What are you?"

The question bore no ridicule, just pure curiosity.

Unexpectedly, Lord Taiyin answered earnestly: "I am a favored child of heaven and earth, Taiyin, with spiritual intelligence born from years gone by. Now, like you, I am a living being."

Hearing this, Chen Nan was instantly shocked: "You... you are Taiyin?!"

The Taiyin he sought was actually like this?

"You seem surprised?" Taiyin questioned: "Why? Have you heard of me before?"

Chen Nan nodded: "Of course I’ve heard of you, I’d even say, I came here for you."

"You wish to join me?"

"No, I wish to refine you."

"Impudent!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Qing’s group bellowed, Taiyin was their hope for breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, yet Chen Nan spoke of refining Taiyin?

Absolutely unforgivable!

"Lord Taiyin, allow us to take care of this audacious brat!" Qiao Que said sharply.

Taiyin slowly nodded: "Enough, although I can sense you harbor some secret, you don’t seem willing to join me. If you intend to stop me, then I must eliminate you."

"Leave it to you."

As those words fell, Guo Qing couldn’t wait to act, opening his mouth and a small sword flew out, growing in the wind, transforming into a massive sword nearly a meter long, slashing down at Chen Nan’s head!

The blade was wrapped in fierce Sword Qi, instantly shredding the surrounding air.

Even Chen Nan felt a piercing pain on his skin, as if it were about to tear.

"Great Compassion Buddha Palm!"

He shouted fiercely, the relic on his chest radiating vast Buddha Light, he thrust a palm forward, the golden palm clashing with the giant sword, the aftermath forcing Qiao Que and others to retreat a few steps.

But the Buddha palm held for just a few breaths before a cracking sound signaled its shattering, disintegrating directly.

Chen Nan’s eyes flashed with sharp focus, his body swelled suddenly, demonic power surged on his body, he stomped on the ground, leaping high, his fist raining down on the giant sword like raindrops.

Clang clang clang...

The intense sounds of collision were relentless, the giant sword enduring hundreds of punches in an instant, the Sword Qi entangled on its blade blasted apart, and the sword was directly sent flying away.

Guo Qing and the others’ expressions changed, this unknown little loose cultivator unexpectedly possessed such formidable strength.

Who knew at this moment, Chen Nan suddenly charged towards Taiyin, Demon Qi stirring up gusts of wind, making it hard for people to open their eyes.

"Not good, protect Lord Taiyin!"

Guo Qing shouted furiously, directly charging towards Chen Nan, the others also became anxious.

The reason they remained stuck at Golden Core Perfection was not because they couldn’t advance to Nascent Soul, but because their aptitude had reached its peak.

Given their aptitude, reaching Golden Core Perfection was their limit, without anything unexpected, they’d be stuck in this realm for life.

But later, they encountered Taiyin, who promised to change their aptitude and help them step into the Nascent Soul, so they willingly served Taiyin.

Taiyin was their hope for advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm, they wouldn’t allow anyone to ruin this hope.

Thus, when Chen Nan attempted to attack Taiyin, they all panicked.

And at this moment, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Chen Nan’s mouth.

"Exposed a flaw!"

Zhang Sen was left behind, being an Alchemist, Zhang Sen was the weakest among them, so from the start, Chen Nan’s target was Zhang Sen!

Suddenly, gleaming lightning appeared across Chen Nan’s body, and he swiftly turned back, charging towards Zhang Sen at the rear.

"Kid, do you look down on me?" Zhang Sen was furious, immediately understanding Chen Nan’s intentions, a realization that made him feel humiliated.

But before he could cast any Magic, an astonishing Divine Soul Power pressed down on his Divine Soul, causing his mind a momentary blank, his eyes vacant in bewilderment.

White silk rapidly flowed from Chen Nan, directly piercing into the surrounding void, seeming to halt time in this space!
