Chapter 2829 - You’re Not Qualified to Have the Title “the Enlightened”
Jiang Chen had no idea exactly how powerful Nan Hua was. Even though it’s the spiritual dao essence that Nan Hua had scattered, it must still be terrifying.
“You’re but a Divine King, you dare stand against me? Keep dreaming.” Nan Hua said.
“I’ll never comply even if I die. I, Jiang Chen, never bows down to anyone. Nan Hua the Enlightened was peerless throughout his life, you’re not qualified to be given the title The Enlightened! It’s a disgrace!”
Jiang Chen rose up to the sky as phantom blades appeared beside him, and then shot them towards the Ling Long Tree. A bright flash sparked but nothing happened on the iron tree.
“Weak, too weak.” Nan Hua laughed and launched a gust of wind.
Jiang Chen’s expression became heavy. The Heavenly Dragon Sword released a terrifying sword qi and its spirit let out a loud roar, shredding the astral wind, almost collapsing the surrounding space. Jiang Chen flew back from the clash, not even his trusted blade was able to withstand that astral wind. However, Nan Hua was slightly surprised.
“Not even a Hierarch could take one of my astral winds, looks like you’re extremely talented.”
Jiang Chen took a deep breath. That attack caused him to tremble, his blood to boil. It was too powerful for him.
“Bastard, what the f*ck am I going to use to block that?!” Jiang Chen cursed.
Nan Hua’s cultivation realm was higher than him. Even though Nan Hua’s but a spirit with a tattered Dao Essence, his strength was still enough to threaten Hierarch, Divine and God Emperors.
How powerful is he?! Jiang Chen could not guage exactly how powerful Nan Hua was when he was alive.
“You could not even last a second against me.” Nan Hua said as he lightly moved his sleeve, causing the whole environment to quake and wind to blow.
“Heavenly Lightning Fusion!”
Jiang Chen did not falter and merged the Nine Stars Heavenly Tribulation Lightning and Dawn Sky Golden Lightning but it was immediately scattered after the wind touched the lightning.
“Too powerful.”
Jiang Chen knew that he would never be Nan Hua’s match even if he used everything he had. At this moment, it’s not wrong to run away now, Jiang Chen would die a terrible death if this continued.
Jiang Chen instantly retreated into the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda. He believed that the pagoda could withstand Nan Hua’s attacks.
“This is? The Dragon Clan’s Old Ancestor?” Nan Hua squinted his eyes and muttered as he saw the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda.
“Not even the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Clan can do anything against me! I may be afraid of you if you are in your prime, but you’re not! Your spirit is in tatters, you’ll never match up against me.” Nan Hua raised his palm and struck.
Jiang Chen felt the world was spinning within the pagoda.
“Even the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda is affected, it looks like this fella is insanely powerful.” Jiang Chen thought.
At this moment, he felt a familiar energy was waking up.
“It’s the Ancestral Dragon Emperor!” Jiang Chen looked up.
Roar!
A dragon roar pierced the sky, a five-coloured golden dragon emerged from the pagoda.
“Nan Hua the Enlightened, it’s been billions of years since we last met, to think we would meet each other at such a place. Time truly is unforgiving.”
A golden figure manifested after the dragon dissipated, he was gigantic and he possessed a powerful gaze, it was the Ancestral Dragon Emperor who had gone into a long slumber.
“Ancestral Dragon Emperor, haven’t you perished long ago? Such a persistent and stubborn bug you are. Hmph.” Nan Hua said coldly.
“Everyone’s life and death has been predestined, not even the Heavens could totally control everyone’s fate. It is my fortune that I’m able to be reborn like this, one of the predestined fates of the galaxy. Yet, Nan Hua the Enlightened, why do you insist in harming others? As one of the great, respected figures of the immemorial era, don’t you feel ashamed? You could easily destroy a cycle of samsara, control the world.The Dao of Freedom is invincible, but why are you stooping so low?” Ancestral Dragon Emperor said.
Looks like he respected Nan Hua. However, Nan Hua wanted to kill Jiang Chen, an immemorial expert wanting to attack a junior, that was despicable. Ancestral Dragon Emperor wouldn’t allow it as he too will disappear if Jiang Chen dies.
“Hahaha, so what? I would even kill the supreme gods up above if I can be reborn. In the immemorial era, you, the Ancestral Dragon Emperor, are considered to be one of the greatest heroes, how far have you fallen? This is so sad. Hmph.”
“Unless you’re able to kill me, I will never allow you to succeed in your plans.” Ancestral Dragon Emperor said as both of them stared at each other coldly.
“Death to those who stand before me, those who follow me shall thrive, I am the Heaven, I am Dao.” Nan Hua said coldly.
A battle was soon to erupt.
“You’re not Nan Hua The Enlightened, are you?” Ancestral Dragon Emperor said as he thought of something, his eyes squinted.
Nan Hua’s gaze and aura was completely different to what he’s known from billions of years ago.
“If I’m not Nan Hua, then who am I?” Nan Hua smiled.
“He’s Nan Hua’s dark side.” Jiang Chen’s voice reached the Ancestral Dragon Emperor.
“So that’s it. Nan Hua the Enlightened, Zhuang Zhou Zi was a just man, a benevolent man, one that would not even harm the working ants while he’s sweeping the floor. He’s even better than those monks from Utopia. He would never be this violent like you.” Ancestral Dragon Emperor sighed but his eyes became sharp. This person was definitely not Nan Hua.
“It’s an insult to Zhuang Zhou Zi to call you Nan Hua the Enlightened! You’re not worthy of the name!” Ancestral Dragon Emperor shouted.
