The Nine You Evil Emperor could still break through. Given the current situation, with the two of them in fierce combat, neither the Eight Great Strongmen of Demon God Mountain nor the residual souls of the Ancient God Demon Battlefield could get within a thousand-mile radius.

This is only the Nine You Evil Emperor at the Supreme Seventh Layer. If he were to break through to the Supreme Eighth Layer, wouldn’t the entire Panlong Star Domain be destroyed by the two of them?

The Heavenly Gate Ancestor and the Golden Sword Sect Ancestor both had substantial gains on this journey into the Secret Realm. Chen Nan had already let the Golden Sword Sect Ancestor go before, and at this moment, he had not yet left.

"Brother Chen," said the old man from the Golden Sword Sect, who was quite perceptive of the situation. Chen Nan smiled, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"In Ancient Times, the Saints said that in the face of great righteousness, the greatest taboo is fratricide. Although the Dragon Emperor and Nine You are one righteous and the other evil, at critical moments, they will definitely choose to unite against external threats. The family of the Nine You Evil Emperor reincarnated unknown many times long ago, and now seeking revenge is mostly because he cannot let it go in his heart."

Hearing this long piece from the Golden Sword Sect Ancestor, Chen Nan rolled his eyes, "Isn’t what you’re saying nonsense? If the Nine You Evil Emperor could let go, there wouldn’t be any fighting until now."

The Golden Sword Sect Ancestor chuckled tremulously, "Brother Chen, wasn’t I not finished yet? In Ancient Times, there was cutting off the robe to sever ties, and cutting hair to replace the head!"

Hearing this, the Heavenly Gate Ancestor also joined in, "If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten. There indeed was this method. The Dragon Emperor certainly won’t let Nine You kill him standing, but since the fault lay with him back then, perhaps allowing the Nine You Evil Emperor to take his hair once might be acceptable."

"In that case, I’ll have to discuss it with the Dragon Emperor first. If he agrees, then the Small Tower can communicate with the Nine You Evil Emperor."

Chen Nan pondered. The Ancient Powers were influenced by Confucian values, so maybe they could really accept the methods of the Ancient Saints. After all, so many years had passed and the people in Jiuyou Valley had reincarnated many times.

The Four Extremes World only sees the death of the bodily form, while the Divine Soul can reincarnate, which doesn’t equate to complete annihilation.

Chen Nan hurriedly communicated with the Dragon Emperor.

He wasn’t confident, as, in the whole Four Extremes World, the Dragon Emperor’s strength was just a notch below the Supreme Kings, and he might anytime break through to the Supreme Ninth Layer or Tenth Layer of the Supreme King Realm.

For a strong man cultivated in arrogance over countless years, it’s unlikely he would easily bow or compromise.

Chen Nan sent the concept of cutting hair as a replacement via a Divine Thought to the Dragon Emperor. Immediately, the Dragon Emperor’s arrogant laughter echoed in Chen Nan’s Sea of Consciousness, "Chen Nan, I didn’t expect you to know the ways of the Ancient Saints. Haha, but this method won’t do."

"Sigh, the Dragon Emperor still rejected it!" Chen Nan sighed, feeling depressed.

In the next second, however, the Dragon Emperor’s voice came again: "Chen Nan, just cutting hair is too simple. Nine You likely won’t compromise. I am about to be resurrected, and then I will produce a relic. Let him slay it, which should quell his hatred."

"What, Dragon Emperor, you’re going to let the Nine You Evil Emperor slay your relic! That relic is your former body, containing at least thirty percent of your Cultivation. If destroyed, it will take more time for you to return to peak state." The Haotian Tower couldn’t help but speak.

The Haotian Tower was inwardly pained, thinking if the Dragon Emperor’s relic could be crafted into battle armor, its defensive power would not be weaker than the Heavenly Stone Battle Armor and Ancient Shield Chen Nan was wearing.

If it could be integrated into the Heavenly Stone Battle Armor and Ancient Shield, then their defensive power would at least double.

No one expected the Dragon Emperor to be so generous, which was indeed surprising.

"To rid myself of this karma, it’s worth the slow return to peak state. I despise owing anyone," the Dragon Emperor’s voice was hearty.

"Alright, my dragon tail will soon emerge from the Stone Coffin. At that time, my relic will appear in the Void, allowing the Nine You Evil Emperor to slay it, which signifies breaking and building anew, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming a new beginning!"

With the Dragon Emperor’s words, excitement filled Chen Nan’s heart, but then he realized that this was a matter between the two strongmen, and there was no reason for him to be excited.

As soon as they made an agreement, the Haotian Tower went to speak with the Nine You Evil Emperor.

However, what surprised Chen Nan was that the Nine You Evil Emperor agreed without hesitation.

"Senior Nine You, we have an agreement. After you slay the Dragon Emperor’s relic, this matter is closed. Then we’ll go to the Outer Domain Battlefield to fight the Heavenly People Clan." Chen Nan quickly said after the Haotian Tower settled it with the Nine You Evil Emperor.

"Chen Nan, you really are calculating. However, I was indeed a bit obsessive about the past. To the Dragon Emperor, we Humans are like ants; stepping on us inadvertently could kill us."

"These few days of fierce battles have gradually worn down my obsession. Let this matter end here. The handling methods of Ancient Saints don’t interest me much; all these pretenses are better left behind."

The Nine You Evil Emperor smiled blandly, having already stopped his attack.

Chen Nan was dumbfounded, not expecting this result.

He looked towards the Sky Dragon King, with brilliance in his eyes, initially thinking that the prophecy of the Ghost Sovereign would be fulfilled with the help of the Haotian Tower to quell the conflict, unexpected to end up this way.

The ways of the world are unpredictable. If the Golden Sword Sect Ancestor had been killed earlier, who knows how the situation would have turned out?

Seeing the two great strongmen cease their fight, Chen Nan shamelessly walked up, "Senior Dragon Emperor, your relic..."

At the same time, the Dragon Emperor fully emerged from the Stone Coffin, his Five-clawed Divine Dragon performing a Divine Dragon Tail in the Void, displaying formidable momentum. The Stone Coffin in the distant Void transformed in the blink of an eye.

In just a few breaths, it became a dragon-like figure, remarkably similar to the Dragon Emperor. Upon a closer look, Chen Nan couldn’t help but be dumbfounded—it was actually the Dragon Emperor’s relic.

"Senior Dragon Emperor, no wonder when attacking this Stone Coffin back in the Tomb World Small World, you could perfectly absorb the power within; it turns out it was your former body."

Chen Nan couldn’t help but admire the Dragon Emperor’s wisdom, making every calculation count—no wonder the Heavenly Lords of the Magic Realm were manipulated by him.

"This relic is yours. A gentleman’s word is as good as a bond. Since I’ve decided to relinquish this relic, there’s no way I’ll reclaim it."

The Dragon Emperor saw Chen Nan drooling over the relic; with a move of his dragon claw, the relic transformed into a palm-sized golden little dragon, landing in Chen Nan’s hand.

"This relic contains the essence of my True Body from Ancient Times. You can refine this essence into your battle armor. Besides, this Heavenly Stone Battle Armor and Ancient Shield—for fusion, Nine You can assist you, as he possesses the Immortal Spirit Qi from a Different Space, which can provide a more complete fusion."

The Dragon Emperor gazed warmly at Chen Nan.

The Nine You Evil Emperor descended from the Void beside Chen Nan, "Brother, we’ve known each other for so long, and I never gave you a proper present. With the Dragon Emperor even giving up his relic, I can’t help but contribute too!"

This was the perfect chance to repay Chen Nan’s favor.
