The aftermath of the explosion cleared, leaving the entire chamber in a disastrous state, with Huo Wan, Zhou Bai, Wind Yizhan, and other Cloud Sea Realm members all injured.
Disciples from various sects also suffered heavy casualties.
Huo Zun, Zhou Song, and Zhang Xu appeared quite battered.
Yet, the most severe consequence was the disappearance of the Demon Blood Fruit in Huo Zun's hand.
However, this didn't mean the Demon Blood Fruit was entirely gone. Chu Nan surveyed the entire chamber and discovered that over a hundred round, dark red fruits were flying around.
Chu Nan casually grabbed one and found that it was indeed a smaller-sized Demon Blood Fruit.
"The Hidden Corpse's self-destruction didn't completely destroy the Demon Blood Fruit; instead, it scattered them..."
Chu Nan's gaze flickered; although the Demon Blood Fruit had become smaller, it now allowed everyone a chance to get a share!
"Look, it's the Demon Blood Fruit!"
"Quick, grab as many Demon Blood Fruits as possible, then leave!"
"Chase them!"
Whizz whizz whizz~
Various figures shot into the air, vying for the Demon Blood Fruits, even those few from the Cloud Sea Realm were no exception.
Huo Zun waved his big hand and swept more than a dozen Demon Blood Fruits into his sleeve.
Zhou Song and Zhang Xu each had their own methods, quickly dividing the Demon Blood Fruits among themselves.
Chu Lingshan, severely injured, seized the chaos of everyone scrambling for the Demon Blood Fruits, exchanged a glance with Chu Nan, and immediately dashed toward the exit.
At this moment, the Demon Blood Fruit was no longer important; the priority was to escape quickly.
Once the Cloud Sea Realm members from the Strong Race and Royal Family had freed up, they would have no chance of escaping!
Two figures sprinted ahead, Chu Lingshan disappearing into the darkness first, with Chu Nan close behind, about to leave when an angry roar erupted from behind.
"Chu Nan, hand over the Black and White Guiyuan Sword!"
Suddenly, Chu Nan sensed a terrifying killing intent behind him. Turning around, he saw Wind Yizhan pursuing him.
The Great Elder of the Infinite Sword Sect, Wind Yizhan, ignored the Demon Blood Fruits flying around; his determination to acquire the Black and White Guiyuan Sword in Chu Nan's hand was unwavering.
Seeing Chu Nan attempting to leave, he immediately chased after him.
At this moment, Wind Yizhan appeared somewhat disheveled. First, he was injured by a palm strike from Chu Lingshan, and then several Hidden Corpses self-destructed simultaneously, leaving him severely injured again.
His aura fluctuated erratically, appearing incredibly weak.
Yet even so, Wind Yizhan was still a Cloud Sea Realm fourth level Martial Artist, and dealing with Chu Nan, a Divine Illumination Realm sixth level Martial Artist, was almost effortless.
To ensure absolute success, Wind Yizhan waved his big hand, and a silver Cloud Sea surged forth in an instant.
In mere moments, Chu Nan was enveloped by the Cloud Sea.
He immediately felt trapped in a mire, his entire body seemingly wrapped in something, so much so that moving a single finger became difficult.
"This is the Cloud Sea of the Cloud Sea Realm, its power is so immense, even if I use the Desolate Profound Transformation now, I wouldn't stand a chance!"
Chu Nan felt anxious; he was just about to escape, only to land in an inescapable predicament.
The gap between the Cloud Sea Realm and the Divine Illumination Realm was too vast; faced with this power, Chu Nan's current strength was utterly inadequate.
"Haha, Chu Nan, I see nowhere you can run this time."
"Getting the Black and White Guiyuan Sword, I can give an account upon returning to the Infinite Sword Sect!"
Wind Yizhan's expression was crazed, stepping on the Cloud Sea, closing in on Chu Nan.
He was, apart from the Huo family, the one who harbored the deepest intent to kill Chu Nan.
Looking down on Chu Nan with total disdain, he said, "Chu Nan, you are indeed a genius, but a Martial Artist who hasn't grown is always an ant."
"As long as you're not in the Cloud Sea, you're an ant at someone else's mercy."
"Now, let me set you free!"
Wind Yizhan's eyes gleamed, then he roared, "Die!"
He slammed his palm down, with him at the center, gathering a silver-white Cloud Sea that transformed into a giant hand reaching for the sky.
Compared to this giant hand, Chu Nan appeared as insignificant as an ant.
As the giant hand loomed closer, Chu Nan couldn't help but cry out in his heart, "Am I really going to die here today!"
He was unwilling; there were still many things he hadn't done, his sister, parents, Gu Nianxue, Lin Yian...
These people were still waiting for him!
Chu Nan's eyes were bloodshot, desperately trying to break free from the Cloud Sea's restraint, but the immense gap between them only highlighted his powerlessness as he struggled.
Vroom~
At that moment, the Black and White Guiyuan Sword suddenly began to vibrate on its own, and Chu Nan immediately felt the force restraining him vanish.
Looking down in astonishment, he sensed the Sword Qi about to explode from the Black and White Guiyuan Sword, and instantly understood.
Currently, Wind Yizhan's giant hand was about to descend; if it struck Chu Nan, he would be crushed into a puddle of flesh, beyond saving.
Yet, instead of fear, Chu Nan beamed with excitement, declaring, "Today I, Chu Nan, will cut through the Cloud Sea!"
With those words, the Black and White Guiyuan Sword swept out.
A storm of Black and White Sword Qi roared forward, transforming into a Wind Dragon, crushing towards Wind Yizhan.
The horrifying tide of Sword Qi crushed everything before it, shredding the giant hand into pieces, then moving to strike Wind Yizhan.
"How could this be!"
Wind Yizhan sensed the breath of death within this Sword Qi; he let out a series of roars, filled with disbelief and fury in his heart.
He recalled when Chu Nan subdued the Sword Qi left by the Black and White Sword Saint; Wind Yizhan had believed that energy to be absorbed and consumed by the Black and White Guiyuan Sword, unusable by Chu Nan.
However, the outcome was completely different from what he had expected.
"I can't die, I can't die at the hands of a Divine Illumination Realm Martial Artist!" Wind Yizhan's eyes were blood-red, seemingly containing an unquenchable madness.
In a frenzy, he lashed out, attempting to resist this deadly strike.
However, the sheer number of Sword Qi assaults shattered his killing move like a mirror, and his body was shredded like a rag by the Sword Qi.
"Ah, Chu Nan..."
Wind Yizhan's furious cries grew fainter and eventually drowned entirely within the Sword Qi.
The shredded flesh of the Blood Demon scattered throughout the chamber, the Cloud Sea dissipated, returning as basic Spiritual Power to the world.
This signified the death of a former Cloud Sea Realm fourth level power, Wind Yizhan, at Chu Nan's sword!
"A Divine Illumination Realm killed a Cloud Sea Realm, how is this possible!"
"Incredible, unimaginable!"
"A Divine Illumination Realm can slay a Cloud Sea Realm; if he grows, is there any path left for us?"
"This child must not be left alive, kill him."
A multitude of Cloud Sea Realm practitioners temporarily abandoned vying for the Demon Blood Fruits, intent on killing Chu Nan.
At this moment, dozens of Demon Blood Fruits being attracted by Chu Nan's power, unexpectedly flew towards him.
Chu Nan didn't refuse, sweeping them all up in one fell swoop, causing everyone's eyelids to twitch.
"Chu Nan, hand over the Demon Blood Fruits, and we will leave your body intact!" Seeing Chu Nan collecting the Demon Blood Fruits, a gleam of greed flashed in everyone's eyes before they charged at him together!
Facing yet another imminent crisis, Chu Nan reacted swiftly, placing the Black and White Guiyuan Sword directly in front of him.
"If you have the guts, come over; I still have plenty of Black and White Sword Saint's Sword Qi, let's see if you can withstand it to the end!"
The scene of Wind Yizhan being killed was still fresh in their minds; no one dared to gamble on whether Chu Nan could still unleash that deadly strike.
Everyone retreated with caution, reluctant to taste defeat after having cultivated to the Cloud Sea Realm over so many years.
