Dashing Student-Chapter 1309: Too Late

Leveraging the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, Erosion Sun, Chen Nan broke through to the Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer; the way he frantically absorbed Spiritual Energy caused Minghe Ancestor’s heart to tremble.

Even when he broke through his realm as a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse, there wasn’t such a commotion.

"It seems I might know why this kid was able to open the Secret Realm, perhaps only such a prodigy has the qualification?" Minghe Ancestor thought silently to himself. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Seeing Chen Nan complete his advancement, he stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile, "Where’s the Erosion Sun? Hand it over to me."

Such a rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, even Nascent Soul True Men cannot avoid coveting it. After refining it, it’s highly possible to comprehend the Dark Law, which is a more powerful and mysterious force of law than ordinary ones.

Chen Nan’s expression changed, he hadn’t mentioned he would hand over the Erosion Sun!

So he spread his hands, shook his head, and said, "I can’t bring it out."

"Hmm?" Minghe Ancestor’s eyes widened, and an overwhelming force suddenly exploded, directly blasting Chen Nan a hundred meters away, crashing heavily into the ground.

"Do you really think I have a good temper? Don’t test my patience!"

Chen Nan felt bitter, only feeling the surge of qi and blood within, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

He stood up from the ground, wiped the blood from his mouth, and explained, "It takes too long to refine the Erosion Sun, so I used another method, making it a part of my body. So I really can’t bring it out."

Minghe Ancestor raised an eyebrow; it was the first time he heard someone could devour a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object. Even refining it is filled with risks; one minor slip could end in death, let alone devouring it?

"So, that means, to get the Erosion Sun, I must kill you first?"

He realized that Chen Nan held more secrets than he had imagined, but rather than being happy about it, he was quite annoyed.

Chen Nan didn’t answer, secretly thinking, "This old bastard indeed harbors murderous intent; I must let Ning Yu and the others escape!"

Silence had spoken volumes, and just as everyone thought Minghe Ancestor was going to make a move against Chen Nan, he unexpectedly flicked his sleeve with a heavy huff, yet did not strike.

He came to the stone platform, and this time, without any obstacle, he successfully picked up the wooden box, his expression very excited: "Finally, I’ve waited for this day, haha!"

"I can finally return, no longer needing to stay in this godforsaken place!"

Minghe Ancestor’s words left everyone puzzled; no one understood what he was talking about.

Chen Nan was also quite astonished, not understanding why Minghe Ancestor did not kill him. As far as he knew, Minghe Ancestor was no benevolent character, but rather a bandit leader, more evil than a Demon Cultivator.

"Could he have some misgivings?" Chen Nan pondered deeply yet had no leads. He had no background, nothing that would concern Minghe Ancestor.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Snatch the wooden box!"

Chen Nan shuddered, looked around, and found no one around him; where did that voice come from?

"If you want to live, snatch the wooden box!"

The voice became more urgent, appearing out of nowhere in Chen Nan’s mind.

Chen Nan quickly inspected himself from head to toe, inside out. Besides the restrictions Minghe Ancestor set up, there was nothing at all.

"Who are you?" he attempted to inquire, but received no reply.

"This is absurd!"

Chen Nan deeply frowned. The voice in his head seemed like a madman, asking him to snatch something from a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator; what’s the difference from courting death?

"Quick! There’s no time!"

The voice in his mind continued to sound, making more question marks appear in Chen Nan’s mind, but he was a bit tempted.

Because anyway you look at it, it was already a dead end now. Minghe Ancestor got what he wanted, and the experts of Ming River Sect were all gathered here.

Even if Chen Nan had heaven-defying abilities, his life was still in Minghe Ancestor’s hands, so to save himself and his friends, he had to seek a variable.

The wooden box was the variable.

Minghe Ancestor seemed to know what was inside the wooden box, as he didn’t even open it; yet his expression was extremely excited, his hands holding the wooden box trembling slightly.

"Give it a shot; if worse comes to worst, I’ll hold them off, letting Ning Yu and the others escape."

Chen Nan made up his mind, quietly returned to Ning Yu and the others, and whispered, "If there’s a chance, escape; run as far as you can, get out of the Secret Realm if possible!"

Ning Yu’s heart sank, seemingly realizing something, quickly grabbing Chen Nan’s hand: "What are you going to do? I forbid you to go!"

"Don’t worry, just remember what I said. I won’t die; no matter what, I will come to find you."

Chen Nan gave a faint smile, his words seemed like a promise, unchanging even till the end of time.

"Alright."

Tears welled up in Ning Yu’s eyes, yet she nodded.

The next moment, Chen Nan moved.

His right eye instantly turned pure white, and a tyrannical wave suddenly surged.

"Space Law!"

All the Ming River Sect cultivators blocking his way were instantly split in half, unaware of what happened even in death.

Standing before the stone platform, Minghe Ancestor’s expression also suddenly changed dramatically, with his eyes showing a hint of fear, hastily activating his laws.

A giant phantom of himself appeared in the void behind him, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, and for a moment, he seemed to merge with Heaven and Earth, emanating a shocking pressure.

He then pointed forward, where the Golden Rule condensed into a giant blade in his hand, slashing towards the cracked space ahead.

The two laws clashed fiercely, turning the world pale for an instant, stopping the spatial rift, but the giant blade condensed from the Golden Rule quickly shrank, rapidly consumed.

"You bastard, truly underestimated you!"

Minghe Ancestor roared in anger, his heart filled with utter shock, never imagining that a cultivator who just broke through to the Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer could wield the power of laws.

And it’s the precious Space Law!

At this moment, his greed reached its peak; even if someone commanded him not to kill Chen Nan, he wouldn’t care.

This Chen Nan, he must kill today!

As Minghe Ancestor’s murderous intent surged, suddenly a roar came from the front, and looking up, he saw a flash of lightning.

In mere moments, Chen Nan rushed before him, making Minghe Ancestor’s heart suddenly vigilant, fearing Chen Nan might use methods beyond his realm again.

So he took a step back, sacrificed his Defensive Magical Artifact, a mirror shrouded in black mist, instantly expanding in front of him.

Chen Nan gave a wicked smile, lightning flickering around him, disappearing again before Minghe Ancestor’s eyes.
