CHAPTER 1046: CHAPTER 1044: LET’S DIE TOGETHER

Chen Nan’s face looked grim as he turned to the Holy Daughter, didn’t she say it would be fine?

Why was he experiencing backlash?

This indicated that the little serpent had suffered serious injuries!

Sure enough, the aura of the King of Ten Thousand Gu was wilting, even blood tears flowed from its eyes, and its body trembled slightly.

"Little serpent!"

Chen Nan could no longer care about anything else and rushed forward to hug the little serpent.

"No, it’s dangerous!"

The Holy Daughter screamed in warning, but it was already too late.

The moment Chen Nan touched the little serpent, he felt a suction force, as if it was tearing his body apart. By the time he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a peculiar place.

There was no sun, no moon, no sky, no earth, as if in a void. Not far away was the little serpent covered in blood. Chen Nan didn’t have time to look carefully and ran over immediately.

"Little serpent, how are you?"

Seeing the cracks on the little serpent’s body made Chen Nan’s heart ache.

The little serpent was on the brink of death, yet it still nudged Chen Nan’s palm with its head, a gesture that made his heart tremble again.

When he turned his head, he saw an enormous creature; the gigantic Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm was in front, its crimson eyes staring at them, full of coldness and disdain.

"This..."

Chen Nan gasped; the size difference between them and the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm was simply too vast!

But at this moment, he somewhat understood; in this place, it could be guessed that the smaller one’s cultivation, the smaller their size.

And the higher one’s cultivation, the larger their size.

Just like the current Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm!

"Damn, didn’t the Holy Daughter say that the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm’s cultivation was sealed? I shouldn’t have trusted her!"

Chen Nan cursed under his breath, only to see the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm glance over with indifferent eyes, suddenly sending out a strong wave of mana.

He quickly picked up the little serpent and dodged to the distance, the place where they had just been exploded violently.

In this place, a mere glance from the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm could take their lives!

"Damn, we have to fight with all we’ve got!"

"Heavenly Fox Form!"

Chen Nan gritted his teeth, his body suddenly soared, his fingers turned into sharp claws, and nine tails emerged from the void behind him, appearing more solid.

His teeth became pointed, his eyes turned into vertical pupils, making him look more like a member of the Demon Clan!

Golden flames ignited on his body, and he charged at the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm, spreading Thunder Wings behind him, rushing to the forefront of the silkworm in an instant.

His claws slashed, flames raged, tearing the silkworm’s flesh open as easily as a knife cutting through tofu.

But the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm’s size was too enormous, the damage Chen Nan inflicted was utterly insignificant. It simply lowered its head and breathed out, suddenly condensing countless Wind Blades, which instantly enveloped Chen Nan!

Boom!

Chen Nan plummeted from the air to the ground, kicking up countless clouds of dust, and the ground was smashed into a deep pit, with numerous wounds appearing all over his body.

"Mortal, how dare you offend a deity?!"

A grand voice echoed in the space; Chen Nan knew this was the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm speaking. The Nascent Soul Stage transcended the level of ordinary beings.

Thus, at that realm, there was no difference between the Demon Clan and humans.

Even demon beasts, upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, could attain intelligence and speak human words, classifying them as part of the Demon Clan.

"Deity? You’re just an insect!"

Chen Nan wiped the blood from his mouth, roaring furiously as he charged again!

The emotions of the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm were visibly enraged, the surroundings instantly transformed into a thunderous, stormy scene!

Outside in the sealing array on Gu God Mountain, the Holy Daughter’s face was somewhat pale, staring intently at Chen Nan, who had closed his eyes at this moment.

She knew Chen Nan was also dragged into the battle between the two King Gu, because Chen Nan was the owner of the little serpent, they were essentially one.

But soon, she saw blood tears flowing from Chen Nan’s eyes as well, clearly indicating he was injured.

"Holy Daughter, what on earth is happening?" an Elder hurriedly asked.

If Chen Nan failed, it would not only be a disaster for the Heavenly Border but theirs as well, with no one spared.

"We’ve been deceived by the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm!" the Holy Daughter said through gritted teeth.

"What?"

The other elders appeared utterly shocked.

"It deliberately feigned being sealed in cultivation, perhaps to entice the King Gu to come on its own, to help it complete the final tribulation, achieving Nine Tribulations Perfect!"

The elders felt chills run from their heels to the crown of their heads; if what the Holy Daughter said was true, it meant the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm had been playing them all along.

Perhaps when Chen Nan first arrived in the Heavenly Border, it already knew, and also knew the new King Gu would come here.

So it acted as if its cultivation was sealed, aiming for this final moment: to devour the new King Gu and become the Gu God!

The prophecy circulating in the Heavenly Border was known not only to its people but also to the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm.

This prophecy could imply the old King Gu devours the new King Gu or the new King Gu devours the old King Gu.

"Damn! Holy Daughter, what should we do?"

The elders finally realized just how insidious the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm truly was.

The Holy Daughter’s eyes flashed with a trace of desolation, turning to look at the vast mountains and dense forests outside Gu God Mountain, showing signs of attachment and reluctance.

"There is only one way left."

...

Boom!

Chen Nan was once again knocked to the ground, and he himself wasn’t even sure how many times he had been knocked to the ground.

The wounds on his body were dense, blood dyed his entire body red, and if it weren’t for his strong recovery power, he would probably be dead by now.

The Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm also had some wounds, but they were insignificant, not affecting its vital parts, and it didn’t care.

Its scarlet eyes turned, looking at the little serpent behind, and it finally decided not to tangle any longer.

By devouring the little serpent, it could complete the final tribulation and achieve Nine Tribulations Perfect.

This moment had been awaited for a very long, long time.

Its ferocious mouth opened, and a terrifying suction force suddenly emerged, pulling the little serpent’s body slowly toward the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm. Even as it struggled with all its might, it was to no avail.

"No!"

Chen Nan’s eyes widened abruptly, knowing that if the silkworm devoured the little serpent, there would be no more opportunities.

He flung himself onto the silkworm, attacking desperately, but it was like a drop in the ocean.

Watching the little serpent’s body lift, getting very close to the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm, Chen Nan gritted his teeth, his eyes showing a determined look.

"Then we’ll die together!"

He placed his hand on the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm, white light surged in his palm, but his face quickly turned pale.

And as the light in his hand shone intensely, his form quickly thinned down.

A strong aura of destruction suddenly spread out!
