Humans are shrouded in mist, projecting their image across countless worlds.

Chapter 119 Chen Nan: "The Heavenly Emperor is my brother!"

Two orbs of light, one black and one gold, were inside Chen Nan's body. As she gazed at them, the orbs emitted black and gold divine light, blocking Dugu Xiaoxuan's prying eyes.

"Interesting, there is such a rare treasure inside his body."

Dugu Xiaoxuan's smile was so radiant that it made the sun and moon pale in comparison. Her melodious voice was like heavenly music. She was like a fairy standing in the mortal world, perfect and flawless.

Every move she made captivated Chen Nan and the Purple Gold Divine Dragon.

The next moment, the man and the dragon trembled and woke up with their strong willpower. Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads, especially the purple-gold dragon, who was terrified.

The woman Dugu Xiaoxuan, who was once seen as a goddess, has now become a terrifying demon.

A mere casual action nearly caused its will to crumble and its mind to waver.

The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon realized that these three seemingly ordinary people were probably forbidden beings!
That bastard Chen Nan actually knows such a powerful expert! The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon felt a huge danger rising above its head!
The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon knew how tempting its dragon body was; countless gods and demons wanted to take it as their mount.

"Little Dragon greets the three lords!"

The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon greeted He Lang, the Tomb Keeper, and Dugu Xiaoxuan with an obedient expression, drawing Dugu Xiaoxuan's attention to her.

"Hey, you little dragon actually obtained the legendary Black Tortoise Armor!"

Dugu Xiaoxuan noticed the Xuanwu armor worn by the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon and her eyes lit up.

When the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon heard her reveal the existence of the Xuanwu Armor, he cursed himself for being foolish. Ordinary people might not recognize supreme artifacts, but how could these three old monsters not recognize them?

"If Your Majesty likes it, I, the little dragon, am willing to offer up the precious armor," the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon said obsequiously to Dugu Xiaoxuan.

After it transformed back into its young dragon form, its voice sounded very immature, with a kind of strained tone, which gave Chen Nan goosebumps and made him feel extremely disgusted. He immediately threw the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon to the ground, as if he had held something dirty.

“You @%u #…”

After the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon's face made intimate contact with the earth, it stopped pretending and, disregarding everything else, began to curse.

"Fine, I've already taken the dragon essence you offered as a sacrifice. If I were to take away your life-saving divine armor as well, I, the second goddess of the ancient times, would be too inhuman."

Dugu Xiaoxuan glanced at the Xuanwu Armor with some regret, then turned her gaze back to Chen Nan, her eyes showing a hint of eagerness.

She felt that the secrets within Chen Nan's body were far more interesting than the Xuanwu Armor, this supreme treasure.

Her gaze made Chen Nan's heart pound. In just a few words, Chen Nan realized that she was a witch-like figure.

She's even more terrifying than the devilish little princess Chu Yu he encountered in the Kingdom of Chu!
Chen Nan turned his gaze to He Lang, asking his former good brother to help divert the witch's attention.

He could tell that the great witch who called herself Dugu Xiaoxuan was wary of He Lang.

Upon hearing this, the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon was enraged. So it was you who devoured my dragon essence in the Jade Ruyi!

“The Tai Chi Divine Demon Diagram within him is a scheme set up by your father and other forbidden experts. There’s no need to interfere too much. You will know when the time is right.” He Lang received Chen Nan’s gaze and spoke to dispel Dugu Xiaoxuan’s idea.

"My father?"

Dugu Xiaoxuan muttered something to herself and made no move to intervene. Clearly, the relationship between Chen Nan and He Lang was more than just a simple acquaintance.

Chen Nan's gaze couldn't escape her notice, making her think of the Heavenly Emperor He Lang, a forbidden powerhouse who rose during the Great Cataclysm ten thousand years ago. Since Chen Nan knew He Lang, perhaps she could learn some of the Heavenly Emperor's past from him. Dugu Xiaoxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and her attitude towards Chen Nan improved considerably.

The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon and Chen Nan sensed that her lingering evil thoughts had dissipated, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

After relaxing, Chen Nan suddenly realized something terrifying: He Lang, whom he had always thought was only at the Immortal Martial Realm, was actually able to suppress this great witch named Dugu Xiaoxuan. Just what level had He Lang reached?

If Dugu Xiaoxuan was able to devour the essence of the rogue dragon, who was at the God Emperor level, leaving it powerless to resist, then wouldn't He Lang, who made Dugu Xiaoxuan wary, also be an existence that surpassed the God Emperor level?
A legendary forbidden powerhouse, said to be comparable to the heavens, turned out to be his brother?
Having traveled extensively throughout this era, Chen Nan has learned many secrets he never knew before, and he is also very familiar with the division of cultivation realms.

Having made a guess, Chen Nan asked the question that had been bothering him: "He Lang, have you also broken through to the mysterious and unpredictable Heavenly Rank realm?"

Seeing He Lang nod with a smile, Chen Nan felt a bit complicated. He never expected that after ten thousand years, the gap between him and He Lang would become so large.

When he first saw He Lang at the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, he sensed a change in He Lang's demeanor. He never imagined that his former buddy would become a forbidden powerhouse.

He Lang smiled and said, "Don't be too discouraged. Give yourself enough time, and you will reach the same level."

Don't be fooled by Chen Nan's tragic exit from the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, which might seem like a typical underdog story, he's actually a protagonist with an incredibly powerful background!

His previous life was the son of the ancient forbidden god Dugu Baitian. His talent was comparable to Dugu Baitian's, making him a heaven-defying powerhouse.

His father after reincarnation is Chen Zhan, another incredibly powerful figure. With such a background, he would be a top-tier protagonist in any fantasy novel across all the worlds.

"Well, I'm just feeling a bit sentimental. Over ten thousand years, I've missed out on so much, but I will catch up with you."

Chen Nan also believed he had that potential; after all, his father was Chen Zhan! As Chen Zhan's biological son, he didn't feel inferior to anyone.

Now that his good friend has also become an unparalleled powerhouse, it has further inspired Chen Nan. He thought of what Chen Zhan had said about He Lang when he was chatting with his father.

"Chen Nan, you must learn from He Lang's never-give-up spirit. No matter what kind of predicament you are in, it will not be able to defeat you. The same applies to the path of martial arts. If you hone your will to be firm and indestructible, then all the hardships will be the whetstone for your growth."

He Lang may be trapped here today, but when the times change, he can soar to the heavens like a divine dragon, for the path of martial arts leads to the highest heavens.

The conversation in the Prince Xiaoyao's mansion ten thousand years ago surfaced in his memory, and now, comparing it with his own, he felt that his father had not been mistaken.

Compared to the confusion he felt when he was first resurrected, Chen Nan has now found the meaning of life and has become spirited again.

"I'll be waiting for you at the top."

……

After talking with Chen Nan for a while, He Lang prepared to return to the Nine Heavens. To his surprise, Dugu Xiaoxuan, who was originally going to see Dugu Baitian, chose to stay with Chen Nan, saying that she hadn't seen the various aspects of life in the mortal world for a long time and wanted to experience life in the mortal world.

"Yes, but the mortal realm won't be peaceful for long. I will re-establish the Heavenly Court after a while, and I will summon you then."

After saying this, he and the old tomb keeper disappeared into the human world.

Upon hearing the magical name "Heavenly Court," both Zijin Divine Dragon and Chen Nan's pupils constricted, as they thought of the forbidden entity that every household on the Tianyuan Continent worshipped.

"You...you...your brother is the Heavenly Emperor?" the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon asked in utter shock.
