"Even ants dare to contend with my strong race?" The sudden emergence of the red figure exuded an intimidating aura.

He waved his large hand, and layers of red clouds spread out mightily in an instant, the counterattack engulfed the entire secret chamber like a tidal wave.

Chu Nan's pupils contracted, his heart filled with shock.

After a martial artist reaches the Cloud Sea Realm, the Inner Core, Martial Wheel, and Dao Essence all disappear, transforming into a Sea of Clouds.

The Sea of Clouds encompasses everything a martial artist has cultivated. Fighting within their own Sea of Clouds, their powers are stronger, but the Sea of Clouds is easily damaged. Only martial artists with absolute confidence will release it upon making a move.

This sudden appearance of the red-clothed martial artist indicates that his cultivation absolutely crushes everyone present.

The red clouds swept through, erupting with earth-shattering power.

Chu Lingshan was trapped in the myriad Seas of Clouds, unable to extricate himself, even though the exit was within reach, he couldn't take a step forward.

Boom!

The purple clouds covered the sky as Chu Lingshan released his own Sea of Clouds to counter the red clouds, finally gaining a breather.

However, the red-clothed martial artist sneered, "Chu Lingshan, the Demon Blood Fruit is not something you are qualified to covet."

He transformed his hand into a claw and tore through the air.

The red clouds surged, turning into a terrifying claw that tore through Chu Lingshan's purple clouds. The Hidden Corpses along the way struggled to block it but were all shaken back, to no avail.

Moreover, lower-grade Hidden Corpses were directly slain on the spot by this strike.

Chu Lingshan's chest was torn open as he flew backward, unwilling to let go of the Demon Blood Fruit in his hand.

"Sect Leader!"

"Bastard, you dare to harm the Sect Leader of the Spirit Corpse Sect!"

The Spirit Corpse Sect's elders were angry and shocked. Where on earth did this red-clothed martial artist come from?

The red-clothed martial artist ignored the elders' scoldings, cradling the Demon Blood Fruit with excitement, "With this Demon Blood Fruit, the Huo family can cultivate a group of death warriors comparable to strong races!"

At this moment, Huo Wan rushed out, "Elder Huo Zun, you're finally here."

Chu Nan was shaken, realizing that the Huo family's martial artists coming to Qingxuan Province were not as simple as they appeared.

The fact that Huo Zun could defeat Chu Lingshan with a single strike demonstrated that he was at least at the seventh level of the Cloud Sea Realm.

This level of strength could already crush everyone present.

In an instant, the tremendous advantage vanished with Huo Zun's appearance, and Chu Nan racked his brain on how to escape into the heavens.

"Huo Zun, wanting to monopolize the Demon Blood Fruit is quite presumptuous." Suddenly, another figure stepped into the secret chamber.

The person wore a cyan robe and held a folding fan, looking like an elegant scholar.

With his appearance, Huo Zun immediately withdrew his Sea of Clouds, showing a solemn expression.

"Elder Zhou Song, you've finally arrived too!" Zhou Bai was elated, soaring into the air and bowing.

Following this, another martial artist clad in heavy armor entered, his voice booming like a bell, and facial features carved like a knife, exuding an imposing aura.

"Under the heavens, every inch is royal land, this Demon Blood Fruit should belong to the Royal Family!"

Upon seeing this martial artist, Ji Tonggui was immediately overjoyed, "Commander Zhang Xu, Father has ordered that you must seize the Demon Blood Fruit!"

Zhang Xu's armor crackled as he spoke to Ji Tonggui from afar, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will not fail in my mission."

Undoubtedly, these three martial artists who appeared in succession were all at the seventh level of the Cloud Sea Realm.

Their power is immeasurable, even Chu Lingshan of the sixth level of the Cloud Sea Realm, possessing several Hidden Corpses, was no match for them.

The martial artists from the major sects looked extremely grim.

The appearance of Huo Zun, Zhou Song, and Zhang Xu undoubtedly stripped the sect forces of any chance.

With them present, the sect forces simply couldn't create much of a stir.

Especially Chu Nan, having made enemies everywhere after entering the Secret Realm, was now on the brink of danger.

Huo Zun held the Demon Blood Fruit, locking his consciousness on Zhou Song and Zhang Xu, "The Demon Blood Fruit is already in my hands, you are too late!"

But Zhou Song smiled and said, "Whether late or not, only a fight will tell."

Zhang Xu snorted coldly, saying in an undeniable tone, "Hand over the Demon Blood Fruit, or you will die today!"

Huo Zun was unwilling to give it up easily, the three martial artists had just appeared and were already in a face-off.

Below, Chu Lingshan coughed up a mouthful of blood, watching the three powerful men confronting each other, his thoughts racing.

"There is only one way to break the deadlock, and that is..."

Thinking of this, Chu Lingshan showed a determined look and suddenly shouted, "The Demon Blood Fruit is mine!"

With that, all the Hidden Corpses around him surged forward, determinedly charging towards Huo Zun.

"Chu Lingshan has gone mad!"

"Dare to attack Huo Zun with his level of strength."

"Truly overestimating himself."

The crowd talked all at once, but Chu Nan showed a vigilant expression, knowing that Chu Lingshan was definitely not acting impulsively; he must have had some profound intention by doing this.

Seeing the Hidden Corpses getting closer to Huo Zun, Chu Nan's pupils trembled, thinking to himself, "Could it be that the Sect Leader wants to..."

In an instant, Chu Nan sensed an enormous crisis, turned around and pulled up Huo Nianfang, and fled away from the three in the air.

Huo Nianfang did not resist; although puzzled, she thought Chu Nan must have his reasons, so she followed closely.

But Huo Zhen and Huo Yang were unwilling. Huo Zhen even roared, "Chu Nan, let go of Huo Nianfang!"

Huo Zhen and Huo Yang together chased after Chu Nan, but at this time, the numerous Hidden Corpses had already reached Huo Zun, showing a resolute determination to die.

But Huo Zun was full of disdain. Although the Hidden Corpses had the combat power of the Cloud Sea Realm, they were not truly alive, with limited potential.

It was difficult enough for martial artists of the same level to defeat them, let alone Huo Zun, a seventh-level Cloud Sea Realm martial artist.

Just as Huo Zun was about to casually strike to repel these Hidden Corpses,

red light emerged from the Hidden Corpses, as if some terrifying force was about to erupt from their bodies.

Huo Wan was shocked, immediately guessing what Chu Lingshan intended, and angrily cursed, "Chu Lingshan, you madman, you're actually making these Hidden Corpses self-destruct!"

He retreated rapidly, trying to evade, but it was already too late.

Seeing this, Chu Lingshan laughed and said, "What I cannot have, no one else should think of getting."

"The power of the Hidden Corpses' explosion is enough to destroy the entire Demon Blood Fruit!"

As soon as he stopped speaking, all the Hidden Corpses exploded with a roar, and their terrifying power instantly spread everywhere.

The entire secret chamber was shaking, and the power of the Hidden Corpses' explosion turned into a giant wave of spiritual power, rushing towards all directions.

Martial artists of the Cloud Sea Realm cursed upon seeing this, while those of the Divine Illumination Realm were full of despair, frantically seeking places to hide.

The Spirit Corpse Sect's elders knew they would only be a hindrance there, so they fled the moment Chu Lingshan summoned the Hidden Corpses to attack Huo Zun.

Meanwhile, Chu Nan, holding Huo Nianfang, hid behind a giant tree. This giant tree could block even the Black and White Sword Saint's giant tree, let alone the mere power of the Hidden Corpses' explosion!

Just as he hid behind the tree with Huo Nianfang, the power of the Hidden Corpses' explosion already enveloped the entire secret chamber.

Chu Nan held Huo Nianfang tightly, protecting her with all his strength from harm.

As time passed, the power of the Hidden Corpses' explosion gradually subsided, but soon Huo Zun's angry roar was heard, "Chu Lingshan, you bastard actually destroyed the Demon Blood Fruit!"
