Chapter 2282: Chapter 2368: Divine Stone of Inspiration

Three seconds of charm, well demonstrated on Black and White Pieces.

He had just tried to force himself to look cool, but still failed. The attack from the Purple Robe youth was truly frightening; even after penetrating his divine skills, it left him with significant injuries.

"The Holy Demon Race is indeed powerful. However, I refuse to submit! It’s easy to injure me, but trying to kill me will come at a price."

Black and White Pieces flicked his claws, aiming for the Purple Robe youth’s face.

"Humph!"

Tao Liuguang snorted coldly, reaching out to block.

"Bang!"

A crisp sound rang out as Black and White Pieces’ attack was blocked once more. However, this time, the Purple Robe youth gave a slight pause while looking at his arm, where a swirling black and white flame, reminiscent of a black and white colored flame, had attached itself to him, devouring the demonic power on his body.

At that instant, a small wound appeared on Tao Liuguang’s arm.

But the wound vanished in the blink of an eye as runes flickered beneath the skin.

"Impressive, this force can actually wound me. Is it your inherent poison?" Tao Liuguang’s lips curled into a disdainful smile.

With divine power coursing through him, the black and white flame disappeared in an instant.

It seemed to be absorbed into his body or perhaps melted away by the Purple Robe youth’s divine power.

"Come again!"

Despite suffering setbacks twice in a row, Black and White Pieces showed no trace of fear on his face; instead, he was filled with infinite war intent.

In the span of ten breaths, Black and White Pieces and the Purple Robe youth had clashed countless times, moving so rapidly in the void that others couldn’t clearly discern their figures, only shadows shifting around.

The sounds of intense battles echoed from the void.

Blood splattered the void.

Black and White Pieces was knocked down again, his body covered in wounds, nearing collapse.

"Are you the seventh Demon King of Demon King Valley? I’ve heard of you; a genius favored by the ancestral demon of the lower realm who descended during the Heaven’s Retribution War. Otherwise, with your strength back then, you wouldn’t stand out among tens of thousands of demons."

Tao Liuguang also incurred a few injuries, but as he paused, those wounds quickly healed.

They were merely superficial, yet Black and White Pieces’ injuries were severe, causing him to fall from the void, unable to muster enough strength to support himself.

"I can still fight."

Black and White Pieces struck towards the void, flipping like a kite, attempting to stand again, yet swiftly failed.

At that moment, a hand in the void caught him.

Their eyes met—Chen Nan.

"You didn’t escape?"

Black and White Pieces looked at Chen Nan with surprise in his eyes.

He thought this young fellow had fled upon sensing the dire situation, but realized he had misunderstood him.

"Haha, how could I, being young, leave when seniors aren’t departing?" Chen Nan chuckled, supporting Black and White Pieces and handing him to the Six Great Demon Kings nearby for care.

With divine power circulating through him, he once again rushed into the void.

"Chen Nan, you’re not..."

Black and White Pieces called out, but after seeing Chen Nan’s posture, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

"This... this kid is really interesting."

Black and White Pieces muttered to himself, claiming to be a demon genius and having received guidance from the ancestral demon of the Devil Sky Realm. Yet before this mortal, he felt his accomplishments dimmed.

"I thought you had escaped too."

Tao Liuguang looked at Chen Nan and laughed.

These tactics, akin to a revolving battle, meant little to him; the end result would be the same. He didn’t mind playing with them a bit longer.

When this mortal’s power is exhausted, at that crucial moment of relaxation, even if he doesn’t willingly hand over his cultivation technique, employing the Soul Searching Technique would be much easier and wouldn’t provoke him to self-destruct.

This action was for the competition years later, not for quick thrill.

Tao Liuguang thought to himself, prioritizing the glory for the Taowu Clan and making a mark among the Holy Demon Race over these insignificant ants before him.

"You didn’t escape either, so how could I? Earlier was just a tactic. My Demon Ape Transformation hasn’t been fully cultivated; I just went to familiarize myself with it."

This time, Chen Nan didn’t rush to attack; instead, he stood in the void with hands clasped behind his back, watching Tao Liuguang.

"Hehe, you are truly arrogant; humans like you wouldn’t survive long in the outside world."

Tao Liuguang was taken aback at Chen Nan’s arrogance, daring to ready himself amidst this battle. Such divine skills take years, even decades or centuries, to fully grasp—a claim he found utterly foolhardy and reckless.

"If you’re capable, come hit me."

Chen Nan provoked Tao Liuguang.

"It’s the first time someone has made such a request to me. Since you’re asking for trouble, I’ll oblige."

Within a moment, Tao Liuguang attacked Chen Nan. Being of the Holy Demon Race, he needed no divine skills, relying solely on his powerful physique to terrify opponents.

"Boom!"

Tao Liuguang’s attack landed on Chen Nan, shattering his body.

But surprise flickered in his eyes.

Because he hit not Chen Nan’s true form, only an afterimage.

When his attack arrived, Chen Nan had already moved from his original position.

"Demon Slave, this Ape’s Agility is indeed useful." Chen Nan’s figure shifted continuously within the void, feeling a bit smug seeing the Purple Robe youth pursuing him.

"Demon Slave, if I unleashed Ape Evil, would I be able to thrash this Taowu Clan kid?"

From the start, Chen Nan felt aggrieved; this youth seemed younger than him. In the mortal world’s eyes, he was a young adult, yet being chased down by a high schooler’s pace, hardly tolerable for an Uncle nor Aunt.

Chen Nan had been stifling his spirit.

Finally seeing a glimmer of hope, his mind began racing for a solution.

If he could thoroughly beat the Purple Robe youth, his efforts in cultivating the Demon Ape Transformation wouldn’t be in vain.

The only regret was that the Holy Demon Race seemed more difficult to handle than their facade suggested.

"Dodge! Dodge!" Chen Nan continued his agile moves in the void, with Tao Liuguang pursuing, their speed escalating until forming a whirlwind in Demon King Valley.

Suddenly, Chen Nan halted, grinning as he pointed behind Tao Liuguang, where the Little Heavenly Demon held the Chaos Holy Stone, Breaking Void towards them.
