"Chen Zhi! Let me tell you right now, my father is Chen Zheng from the ancient Chen Family. If you kill me, your death is certain! You killed the Chen Family's patriarch, Chen Zheng. For that, your path leads only to death!" At this moment, a ferocious expression appeared on Chen Ze's face.

"Oh." Chen Zheng nodded indifferently.

"Hmph!"

"Arrogant little bastard!"

"No matter what tricks you have, you're destined to die!" the Chen clansmen cursed angrily.

"Chen Zheng, today you're doomed to die without a burial ground!" Chen Ze stared at Chen Zheng with a vicious expression. With a thought, the bronze coffin on the altar exploded with a bang, and a terrifying remnant soul flew out. As soon as it solidified into a human form, it let out a cold laugh.

BOOM!

The moment the remnant soul appeared, its aura surged instantly.

"Golden Immortal Peak!"

The Chen clansmen were horrified.

Chen Ze was also stunned. I can only barely activate the secret treasure my ancestor left for me. The artifact can only temporarily enhance my cultivation, but it can't grant me the terrifying combat power to surpass a Golden Immortal! How can this be? Why is this Chen Zheng still so calm and composed?

"Chen Zheng, today you must die! My father has already sensed my summons and will soon arrive. My father is a late-stage True Immortal; killing you will be as easy as flipping his hand! Chen Zhi, if you kneel and beg for mercy now, perhaps you can still save your life! You lowly spawn, you aren't worthy of living in this world!" Chen Ze shook his head furiously, staring daggers at Chen Zheng.

"Chen Zheng, run!" Li Mu hissed urgently.

"Run?" Chen Zheng shook his head. "If I wanted to run, who could stop me?"

"Hmph! Chen Zheng! I have fully awakened. I am the greatest prodigy of the Chen Family! You, a worthless, traitorous disciple, dare to obstruct my ascension to immortality! Do you realize what you're doing? You're courting death!" The remnant soul sneered viciously, suddenly raised its right hand, and slapped toward Chen Zheng.

THUD!

Chen Zheng was sent flying dozens of feet, crashing through the manor's inner wall and into the desolate wilderness beyond.

"Chen Zheng was sent flying!"

"Chen Zhi was also sent flying! It seems the ancestor has indeed recovered a sliver of his power!"

"Hmph! The ancestor can kill trash like that with a flick of his finger!"

The members of the Chen Family revealed looks of delight, but their laughter was cut short as they suddenly stared, dumbfounded. An overwhelming, ferocious aura soared into the sky. Then, they saw the figure that had been sent flying tear through the air and hover in place.

WHOOSH!

A vast and majestic Immortal-Devil Will was released, covering a hundred li in the blink of an eye.

"Golden Immortal… Golden Immortal Peak!" the Chen clansmen exclaimed in shock.

Golden Immortal! That fierce and unrivaled aura is definitely at the Golden Immortal level! The ancestor has revived! An ancestor at the Golden Immortal realm! The great ancestor has been resurrected!

Although Chen Zheng had been sent flying, he was uninjured. In fact, his aura seemed even more domineering than the great ancestor's.

"Ancestor!" Chen Ze was overjoyed. He bowed toward the remnant soul. "Ancestor, please lend me your power again to strike down Chen Zhi!"

"Hmph! I will devour you!" No sooner had Chen Ze spoken than the ancestor's remnant soul flickered, instantly crossing a hundred meters to pounce on Chen Zheng, its palm slamming down toward his head.

"Scram!" Chen Zheng raised his left hand and waved it casually.

BOOM! BOOM!

A fist met a palm. The clash of their forces produced a tremendous roar.

CRACK!

A fissure tore through the sky.

"Ancestor!"

"That's the ancestor's Dharma Form!"

"The ancestor's Dharma Form has been shattered!"

Seeing this, the other clansmen in the manor stared with wide eyes, their faces turning deathly pale.

With a soft thump, Chen Ze's physical body exploded, leaving only a Nascent Soul behind.

"Damn it!" Chen Ze growled. He turned into a streak of light and fled into the distance. He knew that even though the ancestor's remnant soul had revived, it was still no match for Chen Zheng.

"Don't you run, child!" the ancestor's remnant soul shouted angrily, chasing after Chen Ze.

"Miss…" Li Mu furrowed his brows.

"These ant-like creatures are not worthy of your attention. They do not deserve to converse with you," Chen Zheng said indifferently.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Li Mu withdrew his gaze.

WHOOSH!

In that very instant, a faint glimmer flashed. Chen Nan disappeared from the altar and reappeared in front of Chen Zheng, fiercely rapping him on the forehead.

"Kid, follow me obediently! You have a special constitution. I'll take you to a place of cultivation. So long as you admit defeat, I can ensure your safety. I was the one who took your mother to cultivate, and now it's your turn. You have to listen to me and follow me to the cultivation grounds. I guarantee your cultivation speed will far exceed your imagination!" Chen Nan stared at Chen Zheng with a sneer.

SWISH!

On the altar, Chen Nan's true form shifted, instantly transforming into a massive black python.

A ROAR—

The black python bellowed.

"No!"

At the python's roar, the Chen clansmen let out miserable cries and all fainted.

"What are you?" Li Mu's brows shot up. He stared coldly at Chen Nan, who had transformed into the black python. He then swept the serpent with his divine sense, and his expression changed dramatically. He whispered to Chen Zheng, "Young Master, this woman is very powerful. She's a true Serpent King and doesn't belong to this world. She's from the ancient Serpent Clan. She's not just a Peak True Immortal; she might have even reached the level of an Immortal Lord. Even with just a wisp of True Immortal consciousness, she's strong enough to crush you!"

HISS!

The black python was startled by those words. "So, you're a True Immortal cultivator!"

But the next moment, it let out a sinister, mocking laugh. "Merely a True Immortal. Back when I dominated the Immortal Martial Continent, your mother was just a little snake. She was only fit to be my pet!" Chen Nan jeered again.

"Damn it! You old hag, how dare you insult me! Believe it or not, when my father returns, he'll annihilate you with a single thought!" As Chen Nan hurled the insult, a maid beside her could no longer bear it. She stepped forward and began cursing at Chen Nan.

"Haha! Your father? What worthless trash is your father? He's at the paltry Foundation Establishment Stage. With what will you threaten me?" Chen Nan sneered. "Not only am I a True Immortal cultivator, I am also a protector under a Holy Emperor from the Saintly Spirit Holy Mountain. I am the Chen Family's last Golden Immortal ancestor, an Immortal Emperor who once roamed the myriad heavens and worlds!"

"What!"

"The Saintly Spirit Holy Mountain!"

"Our ancestor actually has a connection to the Saintly Spirit Holy Mountain!"

"The Saintly Spirit Holy Mountain! No wonder she is so powerful!"

The members of the Chen Family were shaken once more. The elders, in particular, looked at Chen Nan with fervent reverence, as if she were the true ruler of their Chen Family.

"The Saintly Spirit Holy Mountain, you say?" A smile curved Chen Zheng's lips. He raised his right arm, and with a casual grab, he crushed the massive black python.

"What!" Chen Nan trembled, letting out a cry of shock. "You… how could you possibly kill the ancestor! You native, you must have used an evil art!"

"No!"

"Ancestor, save us!" the Chen clansmen screamed in panic.

"You!" Chen Nan glared at Chen Zheng, her teeth clenched. She suddenly spun around and fled in a beam of light.

"I don't believe it! You're no Golden Core cultivator! You're an old monster who possessed a new body! I am the one at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm; I can use Golden Immortal spells! How could a piece of trash like you possibly kill me? I am a protector of the Saintly Spirit Holy Mountain!" Chen Nan roared furiously as she fled.

"Suppress!" Chen Zheng raised his hand and pressed down.

HUM!

An ethereal Sealing Chain emerged from the void.

SCHLICK!

A sound of flesh being sliced through was heard. Chen Nan's escaping Nascent Soul was sealed.

"You piece of trash! I am a protector of the Saintly Spirit Holy Mountain! I cannot be defeated! I will seize your body and be reborn! I will have my revenge! I will throw your bones into the Nine Dragons Pool and let the nine wretched beasts gnaw on you!" The Nascent Soul struggled frantically.

CRACK!

However, it was futile. The Sealing Chains tightened, grinding Chen Nan's Nascent Soul into ash.

WHOOSH!

In the next second, on the altar, the black python that was Chen Nan's true form exploded. In an instant, it dissolved into motes of starlight and scattered.
