In the Celestial Crossing Realm, the Nine Levels Secret Sect still conceals some Martial Artists at the Unity Realm, among whom many are his equals.

Adding to that, the profound Cultivation of the True Person of Heavenly Xuan at the ninth level of the Unity Realm has already reached the Peak Realm, making him almost impossible to kill.

The power suppressing the Martial Artists' Cultivation might take another ten thousand years to further unravel, and by that time, Chu Nan would certainly become an unparalleled powerhouse if he does not fall.

The True Person of Heavenly Xuan is utterly convinced of this; he firmly believes that as long as Chu Nan leaves the Celestial Crossing Realm, his future would be filled with endless possibilities.

Although all this is merely his subjective view, he is just so certain.

Because in the era when the two realms were yet to split, the True Person of Heavenly Xuan once witnessed with his own eyes a legendary character similar to Chu Nan rise quickly within merely a hundred years and stand atop the lower realm.

Eventually, this formidable individual even created the astounding feat of splitting the two realms with one Sword, becoming the strongest Martial Artist the True Person of Heavenly Xuan had ever seen in his life!

In Chu Nan, the True Person of Heavenly Xuan seems to see the shadow of that legendary figure, and thus he is convinced that even if Chu Nan cannot grow to the level of the senior brother of the Endless Sky Sword Sect, he would certainly not be far off.

"Chu Nan, don't even think about escaping!"

Ji Qinghuo shouted angrily, then without hesitation executed the pre-prepared Sealing Hand Seal, striking it harshly upon the True Person of Heavenly Xuan to suppress him firmly.

Immediately afterward, Ji Qinghuo's figure flickered, transforming into a dazzling stream of light, speeding towards Chu Nan like lightning.

He must strike with all his might to deliver a lethal blow before Chu Nan boards the Suffering Crossing Ship, ensuring he is killed in one fell swoop, leaving no potential threat behind!

Unexpectedly, this act incited the sneer of the True Person of Heavenly Xuan.

Even though the True Person of Heavenly Xuan was being suppressed by the Sealing Hand Seal at this moment, he did not give up resisting, loudly shouting:

"Ji Qinghuo, the Suffering Crossing Ship is within reach for Chu Nan—no saying that even a Martial Artist of the Myriad Phenomena Realm could stop him from leaving."

"In this battle, ultimately, it is us who have won!"

Meanwhile, Lu Daochang, who was also suppressed, watched as Chu Nan was about to board his Suffering Crossing Ship to leave, without the slightest bit of resentment or reluctance in his heart.

Although the opportunity to cross the Sea of Suffering this time should have belonged to him, Lu Daochang did not mind Chu Nan leaving first.

After experiencing this intense battle, Lu Daochang deeply realized that the Martial Artist's world is far vaster than he imagined.

With his current level of Cultivation, if he were to go to the stronger Martial Dao in the Heavenly Balance Realm, he would likely be nothing but an utterly ordinary ant.

Given that his aptitude and serendipity are far from comparable to Chu Nan's, Lu Daochang found himself wavering about his prospects after heading to the Heavenly Balance Realm.

Yet this does not mean Lu Daochang has abandoned the idea of going to the Heavenly Balance Realm.

He reckoned it might be a wiser decision to wait until his Cultivation reached the ninth level of the Unity Realm before setting foot in the Heavenly Balance Realm.

By that time, after all, Chu Nan should have already trained and grown into an exceptionally formidable being in the Heavenly Balance Realm, right? 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

In this way, once he goes to the Heavenly Balance Realm, his situation may be more favorable than it is now.

Of course, if possible, Lu Daochang actually still leans towards heading to the Heavenly Balance Realm immediately, to personally witness the grandeur and splendor of the Martial Dao in that higher-level domain.

Ji Qinghuo's speed is as swift as lightning, yet he knows he is absolutely no match for the speed at which Chu Nan is boarding the Suffering Crossing Ship.

Just as everyone thought Chu Nan was about to leave the Celestial Crossing Realm and board the Suffering Crossing Ship.

Unexpectedly, he was still standing steadily in the void, like an ancient rugged pine tree standing tall between heaven and earth, remaining unwavering.

The True Person of Heavenly Xuan was baffled by this, whereas Lu Daochang seemed to be pondering something, and Ji Qinghuo exclaimed in delight: "Facing such a life-and-death peril, and yet he hesitates, not daring to flee?"

"Chu Nan, oh Chu Nan, you will inevitably pay a heavy price for your hesitation and indecision!"

Before the words fell, the previously almost despairing Ji Qinghuo, his speed actually increased by more than thirty percent once again.

Seeing that Chu Nan was about to be slain by Ji Qinghuo, Chu Nan, however, spoke: "Ji Qinghuo, this battle is clearly won by me, why do you flee?"

Chu Nan looked indifferent, with eyes full of determination, not shaken in the slightest.

Yet this expression in Ji Qinghuo's eyes was filled with endless mockery: "Chu Nan, I truly don't know where your foolish confidence comes from."

"Prepare to die!"

Seeing the distance suitable, Ji Qinghuo unleashed a Thunderbolt strike.

A punch fell suddenly out of the void, collapsing it, a massive wave composed of countless blue flames, like a fierce giant beast, opened its monstrous maw, devouring towards where Chu Nan stood.

This strike was devastating, Ji Qinghuo's strongest blow.

Even the True Person of Heavenly Xuan at the ninth level of the Unity Realm had to tread carefully, and Chu Nan, who is just at the first level of the Unity Realm, would certainly be annihilated under this terrifying onslaught!

"Chu Nan, carry your arrogance and turn to ashes."

Ji Qinghuo watched as the blue flames were about to engulf Chu Nan, speaking coldly yet with a sense of pride.

Chu Nan merely shook his head slightly, then a flash of golden light appeared on his body.

The Dragon Slaughter Tower descended from the sky, directly shrouding Chu Nan.

The blue flames landed on the Dragon Slaughter Tower, causing the whole tower to emit a series of booming sounds, yet Chu Nan inside remained unharmed!

The Dragon Slaughter Tower is a Supreme Treasure of the Spirit Martial ranking, and in the time when the two realms were not yet divided, was an artifact only a Heavenless Realm expert could possess.

Although now it is in the hands of Chu Nan, merely at the Unity Realm, its power is not what it once was, but its sturdiness remains almost unchanged.

Even though Ji Qinghuo's attack was fierce, could his strength exceed that of a Supreme Treasure Spirit Martial?

In front of a Supreme Treasure Spirit Martial, Ji Qinghuo's attack was like a mere scratch.

Had Chu Nan only been a Unity Realm Martial Artist, Ji Qinghuo's attack striking the Dragon Slaughter Tower would probably not even cause a tremor.

"How is this possible!" Ji Qinghuo saw his attack land on the Dragon Slaughter Tower, and yet caused no harm, his body shook.

But soon he realized something, and couldn't help but curse: "Chu Nan, you cowardly turtle, how shameless, come out and face me!"

The Supreme Treasure Spirit Martial, like an indestructible turtle shell, is impenetrable, if Chu Nan had remained at the Cloud Sea Realm, that would be tolerable.

Because even if Chu Nan hid inside, Ji Qinghuo believed he was fully capable of breaking through this layer of defense in a very short period.

After all, this artifact, though precious as a Supreme Treasure, its user, Chu Nan, is just at the Cloud Sea Realm.

The residual force transmitted inward from outside would be enough to shake Chu Nan to death.

However, the situation has turned vastly different now, as Chu Nan had already broken through to the Unity Realm, with his combat power sufficient to rival an ordinary Unity Realm fourth level expert.
