Beads of sweat oozed from Jiang Siming's body; forcing Chu Nan's Yin Yang Cloud Sea Fusion was undoubtedly a huge drain on him.

However, this was only temporary; even if Jiang Siming's Yin Yang Power was exhausted, there was no one here who could match him.

Finally, after half an hour, the Yin Yang Cloud Sea Power that had reached ninety percent broke through again, successfully reaching one hundred percent!

The Yin Power Cloud Sea of Chu Nan's soul had completely vanished, replaced by the Sea of Consciousness he once knew.

Within his Dantian, the Inner Core was like a bright pearl, suspended at the center.

After the fusion, the Yin Yang Cloud Sea wrapped tightly around it like a giant Yin Yang fish.

Yin contained Yang, and Yang contained Yin, each balancing the other, never to be broken.

This was the realm the Yin Yang Daoist dreamed of, and the state that Jiang Siming longed for.

He seemed powerful but was actually weak inside; his Yin Yang Power was always in a state of imbalance, causing Jiang Siming's spirit to be erratic, needing Dual Cultivation to barely maintain the balance of Yin Yang Power.

But this was not a long-term solution, and Jiang Siming was well aware of it; his disordered mind made him like a headless fly, unable to find a way to balance between these two realms of power.

At this moment, he was nothing more than a monster extremely craving Yin Yang Power, willing to risk everything for it.

"My Yin Yang Cloud Sea has finally become one!"

With Jiang Siming's support, Chu Nan unexpectedly merged the Yin Yang Cloud Sea into one.

A breath of unity burst from Chu Nan's Dantian, indicating that his strength had reached the peak of the Cloud Sea Realm.

Having reached such a state, Chu Nan had no need to take risks and force a breakthrough; reaching the Unification Realm was as effortless as reaching into a pocket for him.

Rumble!

At the instant the Yin Yang Cloud Sea fused into one, Chu Nan's Cultivation roared like a flood breaking its banks.

The Sea of Clouds surged, the Inner Core radiated a brilliant golden light, gradually transforming into a strange liquid, glowing brightly within Chu Nan's Dantian.

Finally, the light illuminated the entire inner walls of Chu Nan's Dantian, emitting endless radiant brilliance.

After stepping into the Unification Realm, a Martial Artist has no Inner Core, no Cloud Sea, no Yang Wheel, no Dao Rhyme... these were all a Martial Artist's greatest accumulation before reaching the Unification Realm, the source of Chu Nan's soaring confidence!

Inner Core, Cloud Sea, Yang Wheel... all that Chu Nan cultivated over the years completely melted away, beginning the unification!

They mixed chaotically together, yet gradually balanced, sometimes expanding, sometimes contracting.

Like a giant heart, each beat brought Chu Nan ever greater power.

Jiang Siming's eyes widened, staring intently at Chu Nan; he could feel Chu Nan's aura growing continuously, like an unstoppable torrent.

Finally, Chu Nan's aura reached its peak, starting to break through the Unification Realm!

Inside that mysterious sphere, Jiang Siming witnessed it all, making no move to stop it.

Instead, he surprisingly withdrew his hands from Chu Nan's Dantian, then performed a peculiar Technique to guard Chu Nan.

His eyes shone with a peculiar light, an indescribable excitement, like a hunter seeing the prey about to fall into his hands.

At this moment, Chu Nan naturally understood Jiang Siming's intentions.

Even though this guy had plunged into madness, he was exceptionally clear on certain matters.

Jiang Siming himself was a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Unification Realm, and even if Chu Nan successfully broke through to the Unification Realm, it was simply impossible to immediately possess the power to contend with someone at the ninth level.

If the two were to engage head-on, without a doubt, Chu Nan would be at a disadvantage.

Yet Chu Nan understood the danger he faced, but he had no choice.

Only by breaking through the Unification Realm and gaining greater power would he have a sliver of a chance to counter the desperate circumstances, thus escaping peril.

He took a deep breath, then threw himself fully into the breakthrough, placing all his hopes on this crucial breakthrough.

Thinking this, Chu Nan's mind was fully immersed in the breakthrough. Time trickled by, with silence around, everyone speechless.

Some observed with expectant eyes; some longed to witness the miracle; some were fearful, dreading the descent of unknown danger;

Some were furious, dissatisfied with the current situation...

The entire world seemed to freeze in an instant, everyone's eyes fixed on that gigantic, eerie sphere, unable to predict what terrifying creature might emerge from within.

At this moment, a loud crash suddenly roared!

In an instant, a beam of light formed from Yin Yang Power shot straight into the sky, the terrifying aura and might causing the sky to change color.

Even the waves of the Sea of Suffering, which had been relentlessly crashing upon the rocks, seemed to be slowly pulling back, not daring to contend against it.

"This aura... could it be..."

"Who on earth is it? And to whom does this power belong?"

"It must be Jiang Siming! He has devoured Chu Nan's power, which is why he has become so overwhelmingly terrifying!"

...

Ji Qinghuo and Ji Shen Technique's faces showed unwillingness; Chu Nan not only carried a heavenly grade Spirit Martial but also the immensely important Dragon Slaughter Tower.

If all these were seized by Jiang Siming, they'd truly draw water with a sieve, left with no other alternatives.

Swoosh~

A cool breeze blew through, yet it couldn't disperse the anxiety and tension lingering in people's hearts.

Although the pillar of light formed by Yin Yang Power was imposing, it also quickly faded away with time.

Everyone looked up, their eyes gradually focusing on the area where Yin and Yang Power interwove and shone.

There, they saw a tall and upright figure standing as firm as an ancient pine tree.

This figure exuded an invisible aura, not ostentatious, yet inspiring awe and pressure in everyone who gazed upon it.

"It's Jiang Siming!" someone exclaimed.

"The only one who could exert such terrifying pressure on me is none other than Jiang Siming from a moment ago!" Ji Qinghuo gasped in surprise.

Tianxuan Zhenren's face was filled with sorrow; he simply couldn't believe Chu Nan had fallen just like that.

However, the harsh reality was right in front of him, leaving no room for doubt.

After all, Jiang Siming was a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Unification Realm while Chu Nan was merely at the Cloud Sea Realm; the disparity in strength was too vast, how could he possibly contend with him?

Lu Daochang was even more sorrowful, as this action not only failed to fulfill his long-cherished wish to reach the Heavenly Balance Realm but instead made him a captive of a powerful force.

What was even more unacceptable was that the genius nurtured by the Ancestor Sect, who was expected to become the supreme Sect Leader of the Ancestor Sect in the future, was tragically cut down here!
