School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 1704: Chapter 1790: Divine Tree Unrivaled

As Chen Nan’s heart gave rise to a sprouting green shoot, the Haotian Tower emerged from his sea of consciousness. The entire tower appeared dim and lifeless, as if its essence qi had been completely drained.

Chen Nan called out to it twice, but the Haotian Tower remained silent. It flew into his palm and then fell into a deep slumber.

”Small Tower... Small Tower...”

Chen Nan called again twice in succession, but the Haotian Tower still showed no response. Meanwhile, the tender shoot at his brow began to slowly grow, and as it did, a powerful wood attribute spiritual energy spread throughout the space.

The Jiuyou Evil Emperor’s expression changed drastically. Earlier, when he saw the tender shoot at Chen Nan’s brow, he sensed it was something extraordinary. Now, seeing the Haotian Tower in its current state, he instantly thought of a terrifying existence.

In the ancient era, supreme experts once joined forces to seal the Abyss Divine Tree that had flown in from the outer domain.

At the time, that divine tree hadn’t become overwhelmingly powerful yet, it had just started to grow. Otherwise, even the combined efforts of the ancient powers might not have sufficed.

It seemed that divine tree from the outer domain had been sealed in a place called the Abyss Prison.

So much time had passed that even the Jiuyou Evil Emperor could scarcely recall it.

But the disturbance caused by that divine tree at the time was absolutely above the level of the Heavenly People Clan. The Abyss Divine Tree could break through space limitations, and once it grew, the entire Four Extremes World would become its nourishment. Moreover, when it became powerful enough, it could break through to the outer domain, causing countless worlds to fall.

Abyss—there was fundamentally no spatial limitation on its growth; its power transcended space itself. This was the most formidable aspect of the Abyss Divine Tree.

The Jiuyou Evil Emperor sighed with a shake of his head at Chen Nan: ”There’s no need to call anymore; the Haotian Tower likely won’t awaken for a while. It has transferred all the absorbed energy to that divine tree, causing itself to enter a temporary slumber.”

Chen Nan observed the continuously growing shoot at his brow and asked curiously, ”Jiuyou senior, was this Abyss Divine Tree not awakened before?”

He recalled that previously the branches and leaves of this divine tree merely grew within his body and for some unknown reason later retracted. Now it could grow from his brow.

”The Abyss Divine Tree is extremely powerful, but its energy consumption is enormous. Perhaps it was sealed for so long it reverted to its most primordial state, that of a seed. But don’t underestimate it. Even if its main body cannot grow, merely a thought from it is terrifying. The divine sense attack of the Abyss Divine Tree is far beyond our comprehension. Now that its main body is growing, it should be able to aid you.”

The Jiuyou Evil Emperor spoke with a tremor of excitement in his voice.

This divine tree’s divine thought did not attack Chen Nan. With the Haotian Tower’s help, its main body resurrected, so it should assist Chen Nan. It’s practically a terrifying killing device; even the combined forces of the ancient powers only managed to seal it...

”Chen Nan, try to communicate with the divine thought of this divine tree,” the Jiuyou Evil Emperor advised Chen Nan.

Chen Nan watched as the green shoot had already grown to the length of a baby’s arm and hurriedly used his divine thought to try and communicate with it.

To his surprise, however, he couldn’t locate the divine thought belonging to the Abyss Divine Tree at all. All he could clearly see was that the seed in his mind had sprouted, growing through his consciousness.

Chen Nan felt a sense of intimacy with the shoot and attempted to control it with his divine thought, leading to an unexpected turn of events.

He could actually control the shoot...

”What is happening?”

Chen Nan watched the delicate green shoot sway back and forth under his control.

The Jiuyou Evil Emperor was equally confused, realizing that the shoot did not possess independent consciousness.

Ziyun, an observer, pointed out: ”Back in the God and Demon Tower, when that ancient demon’s projection tried to invade your sea of consciousness, the Abyss Divine Tree entangled it. Perhaps the divine thought attack of the Abyss Divine Tree is a passive action, and it hasn’t truly awakened yet.”

The Jiuyou Evil Emperor suddenly understood: ”I get it, I get it! The Haotian Tower must have sensed that the Abyss Divine Tree hasn’t truly awoken, so it dared transfer energy to her to enable her main body to grow and assist you all in escaping.”

Chen Nan nodded. The Abyss Divine Tree could be sealed by the ancient powers in the ancient times, indicating it was not benign. With the wisdom of the Haotian Tower, it likely wouldn’t participate in a deal with the devil. Clearly, it must be because the Abyss Divine Tree hasn’t fully awakened yet.

With energy, the growth of the shoot was just instinct, much like when encountering the God Demon projection, entering Chen Nan’s sea of consciousness, and then launching an attack.

”Hahaha, with this, you temporarily can control the part of the Abyss Divine Tree that grows. You’ve made a huge gain this time, come over quickly...” The Jiuyou Evil Emperor was overjoyed.

Chen Nan curiously approached the Jiuyou Evil Emperor, ”Senior, why have you called me over here?”

”Of course, it’s to help me break these chains. This Abyss Divine Tree... hahahaha, try using the shoot to attack my chains, but be mindful of the extent, don’t attack me as this entity has no spatial concept... it’s terrifying!”

The Jiuyou Evil Emperor, a supreme expert, was even afraid of this seemingly harmless shoot?

The shoot from the Abyss Divine Tree merely looked as thick as a willow twig with a pitiful length.

Chen Nan tried controlling the shoot to climb onto the rune chains. In the next moment, he was stunned by what he saw.

The moment the shoot touched the rune chains, it seemed to perceive them as food. As it coiled around them, the chains broke on contact, and then the shoot went on to touch other parts of the chains.

”Bang, bang, bang...”

All of these chains shattered. The portions touched by the shoot seemed to dissolve like stone eroded by acid, with all the runes disappearing completely and the shoot flashing with a flickering light.

The Jiuyou Evil Emperor, watching this scene, involuntarily took a deep breath: ”Chen Nan, this thing is too terrifying. Once we get out of this damned place, try not to use it recklessly to avoid harming yourself.”

Chen Nan nodded. In fact, he hadn’t even felt the process of the Abyss Divine Tree’s shoot destroying the rune chains, only seeing the outcome, which unsettled him.

”By the way, Jiuyou senior, now that we’re getting out of here, you still haven’t told me why you were imprisoned here in the first place?”

Chen Nan was quite curious about this.

After all, even if Jiuyou had not been a supreme expert back then, his strength must have been half-step supreme at least. Otherwise, even in a place rich with Immortal Spirit Qi, it would have been impossible for him to break through to supreme just through cultivation.
