Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 568: Split Soul, 36!

As the words fell, under the shocked gaze of Master Cloud Soul, Chu Nan wielded the Soul-Seeking Flying Knife and directly slashed at the half of his soul that he had split off. He was going to continue splitting his soul!

Master Cloud Soul was completely stunned by this scene. He had seen countless geniuses undergo the soul-splitting trial in the True Martial Holy Hall.

Without exception, successful candidates always prepared for a long time before splitting their souls to ensure nothing could go wrong before they acted.

And each time they succeeded, they would spend at least three days summarizing their experiences before continuing with soul-splitting.

This was the first time he had seen someone not even pausing to reflect after their first soul split before proceeding to the next step.

Those who did so before either ended up crippled or dead.

In Master Cloud Soul’s eyes, Chu Nan’s actions made him nothing short of a suicidal fool!

However, how could Master Cloud Soul know, Chu Nan also wanted to summarize his experiences and ensure nothing went wrong; he didn’t want to follow a path to destruction.

But he had too little time, and the opening of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall was drawing nearer.

He had to become stronger by then to have the right to compete with the Hall Masters of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

The Royal Family and the Huo family were also eyeing him covetously, and within the Celestial Crossing Realm was the unfathomable Cyan Demon. These pressures weighed invisibly on Chu Nan’s heart.

These pressures left Chu Nan unable to rest, daring not to rest. He had to become stronger in the shortest time possible.

Success or destruction, Chu Nan had no choice!

The first soul split took Chu Nan half a day; with the experience gained from the last time, he completed another soul split in just half a day.

His soul split into three, one strong and two weak.

Chu Nan didn’t hesitate much. After a short contemplation, he immediately had the split soul wield the Soul-Seeking Flying Knife to split the Main Soul.

These split souls were fiercely and firmly controlled by Chu Nan, almost never falling out of control.

Before long, Chu Nan’s soul had been split into four equal parts.

Seeing this, Master Cloud Soul was rendered speechless; in his eyes, Chu Nan no longer seemed like a naive newcomer.

But rather a determined and crazed demon.

He dared not imagine, if Chu Nan was so ruthless to himself, just how cruel would he be to his enemies?

Master Cloud Soul vaguely speculated that Chu Nan, to grow to his current level within less than two years in the Celestial Crossing Realm where cultivation was sealed, must have tread over mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The number of lives taken was probably countless.

Only a strong person who emerged from continuous battles and killings could possess such a crazy and determined will!

Master Cloud Soul quietly stared at Chu Nan, feeling an inexplicable curiosity, wondering how far Chu Nan could go with this soul split?

Could he really split his soul into ten parts in one go? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

At four splits to six, six to eight, as the splits increased, Chu Nan’s actions became more proficient, and the speed of soul splitting accelerated.

Soon on the third day, Chu Nan had already split his soul into eight parts and was proceeding with the ninth.

But just as the ninth was about to succeed, there was a loud bang as one of the split souls exploded, making all of Chu Nan’s souls tremble with signs of dispersing.

Seeing this, Master Cloud Soul couldn’t help but step forward to intervene, but he restrained himself, sighing internally, "It seems he’s reached his limit. He should stop to recuperate this time."

Unexpectedly, despite losing one split soul and the weakening of his soul strength, Chu Nan did not halt his steps but continued splitting his soul at a faster pace.

Before long, the eighth split soul was formed again, followed closely by the ninth.

Though the soul split explosion had caused Chu Nan considerable damage, it also gave him valuable failure experience, allowing him to become more adept at avoiding dangers.

Under the shocked gaze of Master Cloud Soul, Chu Nan’s soul was split into ten, shimmering brilliantly around the Main Soul.

"Could this Chu Nan be a soul dao genius!" Master Cloud Soul was shocked, his perception of Chu Nan changed once more.

The process of soul-splitting involves soul strength on one hand, but more importantly, it was skill and unwavering self-awareness, allowing one to maintain their sense of self after countless splits and eventually reunite.

Putting aside Chu Nan’s skills, Master Cloud Soul could clearly discern his incredibly resilient and nearly indestructible consciousness.

A soul body with such awareness, even if split into thousands or tens of thousands, likely wouldn’t dissipate?

Just as Master Cloud Soul was preparing to congratulate Chu Nan and select a reward for completing the first stage of the trial, Chu Nan on the platform didn’t stop after splitting his soul ten times. Instead, he continued cutting his soul with the Soul-Seeking Flying Knife.

He wanted to test his limits, after all!

With the increasing number of soul splits, Chu Nan’s understanding of the soul deepened. His actions during the split were like art, showing no sign of flaw.

From Chu Nan’s splitting techniques, Master Cloud Soul quickly gleaned something, thinking, "It turns out that Chu Nan is also an experienced Sword Cultivator, no wonder his hands are so skilled."

"His understanding of weaponry is a cut above in his realm, and within the Cloud Sea Realm, only perhaps less than three people can match his comprehension in Sword Dao!"

"Moreover..."

Master Cloud Soul slightly furrowed his brow. With Chu Nan’s increasing splits, something previously hidden within his soul began to emerge.

He sensed a special power deep within Chu Nan’s Sea of Consciousness that was protecting his soul.

Thanks to this intervention, Chu Nan could split his soul so swiftly and stably.

Of course, Chu Nan’s innate talent was indispensable; without sufficient capability, external aid would be useless.

From ten to twelve, from twelve to sixteen...

Later on, Chu Nan no longer split one by one but manipulated multiple splits simultaneously.

Enduring more intense soul pain, he reveled in the numerous insights into the soul during the splitting process.

Soon the number of soul splits reached twenty, quickly advancing towards thirty, with over ten splits operated simultaneously, some succeeded, some failed.

Until the number of split souls reached thirty-six, Chu Nan finally ceased.

With his current capabilities, he sensed thirty-six was his limit. More importantly, three days’ time had expired; it was time to head to Cangyuan City.

Glancing at Master Cloud Soul, all of Chu Nan’s souls inhaled sharply, voraciously devouring the gray mist within the space just like Master Cloud Soul had done before.

Upon reaching the limit, with a thought from the Main Soul, all splits fused back together.

Though some splits were destroyed during the process, by devouring the gray mist in the end, Chu Nan’s soul strength wasn’t much weaker than before splitting.

Having endured the soul splitting, the original soul became more resilient. With just a thought, Chu Nan’s soul could split again, exhibiting endless wonder.
