The scars on the Blood-sucking Tree were undoubtedly left by the Black and White Sword Saint.

The sword mark cut a third deep; even though the Sword Qi inside was absorbed by Chu Nan using the Black and White Guiyuan Sword, the mark showed no signs of recovery.

If one wishes to sever the Blood-sucking Tree with a single strike amidst the crowd of Cloud Sea Realm observers, there's nowhere else to act but here.

Huo Wan and Zhou Bai were glaring at Chu Nan, not allowing him any chance for trickery.

If they knew that Huo Yang, Zhou Huang, and others were actually dead, they would immediately strike and turn him into mince!

Moreover, the power of Demon Blood had not faded. That terrifying force continued to assault his Sea of Consciousness, causing his eyes to fill with blood and almost turn entirely red.

Chu Nan took a deep breath, knowing he had only one chance.

Failure would mean immediate death at the hands of Huo Wan and Zhou Bai, but success...

If really successful, perhaps he could escape amidst the chaos!

"Chu Nan, why are you standing there stunned? Quickly bring out Huo Yang and Zhou Huang." Zhou Bai urged as Chu Nan remained motionless.

Huo Wan also let out a cold snort, yet his eyes never left Chu Nan.

The battle amongst the Cloud Sea Realm in the air continued, but it was nearing its end; all Cloud Sea Realm martial artists from the major sects had been slain.

After all, Huo Zun, Zhou Song, and Zhang Xu were seventh-layer Cloud Sea Realm martial artists, and together they were nearly unstoppable.

Knowing time was short, Chu Nan looked at Huo Wan and said, "Huo Wan, you don't need to sign a Martial Dao Oath. I can give you Huo Zhen right now!"

"Is that true?" Huo Wan's eyes widened with some surprise, but he quickly sensed a plot in Chu Nan's words.

Before Huo Wan could inquire further, he saw Chu Nan lift Huo Zhen's body with one hand and hurl him upward with all his might.

That direction was precisely where the strong race and royal family were battling the major sects' Cloud Sea Realm warriors in the sky!

Huo Zhen, already gravely injured by Chu Nan and unconscious, was likely to be killed instantly by battle aftershocks given his current state.

"Chu Nan, you deserve death!" Huo Wan's eyes were wide open; he couldn't just watch as his Cloud Sea Realm seed died so humiliatingly.

Unable to care about Chu Nan momentarily, Huo Wan transformed into a streak of light to chase after and stop everything from happening.

Seeing this, Zhou Bai grew anxious too, reaching out towards Chu Nan as he said, "Chu Nan, hand over Zhou Huang!"

He prepared to forcibly subdue Chu Nan, seize the Dragon Slaughter Tower, and rescue Zhou Huang.

"Dragon Slaughter Tower!"

Chu Nan's eyes widened as he manipulated the Dragon Qi inside to frantically expand the Dragon Tower, making it resemble a small mountain.

The top of the tower even touched the edge of the chamber.

Though Chu Nan couldn't fully utilize the Dragon Slaughter Tower's offensive power, the tower's inherent sturdiness wouldn't weaken due to his own weakness.

The massive Dragon Slaughter Tower became a solid barrier, successfully blocking Zhou Bai's first wave of attacks even if it couldn't kill him.

This scene quickly caught the attention of the trio, Huo Zun and the others, as Chu Nan, a martial artist merely at the Divine Illumination Realm, entered the strong people's view for the first time.

Especially Zhang Xu, whose face lit up with excitement upon seeing the Dragon Slaughter Tower: "The Dragon Qi inside this tower is so dense. If we could bring it back to the royal family, it would surely become the royal family's treasure for nurturing Dragon Qi!"

Zhang Xu's sharp eyes immediately recognized its extraordinariness.

With the major sect's Cloud Sea Realm martial artists completely slaughtered, Zhang Xu led the charge towards Chu Nan to seize the Dragon Slaughter Tower.

"We cannot allow the royal family to grow stronger!" Huo Zun frowned deeply, trying to prevent Zhang Xu from capturing it.

Zhou Song was immediately behind him, and the three seventh-layer Cloud Sea Realm martial artists unleashed an overwhelming pressure as they all charged at Chu Nan.

But as Zhang Xu, flying in front, saw what Chu Nan was doing, he couldn't help but shout in alarm, "Bastard, what are you doing!"

Chu Nan turned a deaf ear, using the Dragon Slaughter Tower to block Zhou Bai's strike.

Having drawn everyone's attention now, Chu Nan knew he had only one chance—only one!

After summoning the Dragon Slaughter Tower, Chu Nan decisively activated the Black and White Guiyuan Sword, simultaneously triggering the Desolate Profound Transformation through his Ancestral Bloodline.

The nine Martial Wheels appeared simultaneously, with Sword Shadow Dao Essence attached to the Spirit Martial.

Along with the lingering power of Demon Blood inside, Chu Nan had reached his strongest state yet.

"Black and White Sword Technique, Black and White Strangulation!"

The black and white Sword Qi erupted, wrapping the entire sword in a massive Sword Qi Storm. This strike held not only Chu Nan's own power but also the Sword Qi of the Black and White Sword Saint.

This was a terrifying power capable of slaying a Cloud Sea Realm martial artist in one strike, unleashed by Chu Nan to sever the Blood-sucking Tree!

"Bastard, stop!"

"The Demon Blood Fruit can be harvested again in fifty years. Destroying it means opposing all the strong races."

"I'll kill you!"

The trio—Huo Zun and others—nearly roared in anger simultaneously, charging furiously at Chu Nan.

Chu Nan's eyes showed resolve. The sword light bloomed and swept outward.

Boom!

The sword blade slashed into the scar on the Blood-sucking Tree with unstoppable force.

Accompanied by a noise akin to gnashing teeth, the blade of the Black and White Guiyuan Sword deepened into the trunk continuously.

The snow-white trunk began to tremble, as if letting out a painful wail.

The wound, initially only a third deep, extended to two-thirds under Chu Nan's full-force strike, with the entire Blood-sucking Tree starting to tilt as if ready to fall over at any moment.

Simultaneously, more blood-red forces poured into the trunk, attempting to resist the damage Chu Nan caused.

Yet Chu Nan remained relentless, utterly ignoring the impending lethal danger from behind.

Sword Qi twirled like a continuously rotating gear, reaching three-quarters in an instant!

Chu Nan's eyes burned with flames; in the case of ordinary trees, this extent would be sufficient to topple them.

However, this was the Blood-sucking Tree, an extraordinary Spirit Plant capable of forcibly absorbing the Ancestral Bloodline Demon Beast's power; cutting three-quarters wasn't enough to sever it.

Achieving such remarkable results was not due to Chu Nan's overwhelming strength, but entirely credited to the Black and White Guiyuan Sword and the remaining wound and Sword Qi left by the Black and White Sword Saint.

Otherwise, even if Chu Nan slashed away for a day and night, he might not cut an inch.

Nonetheless, Chu Nan was not the Black and White Sword Saint; he wielded merely the remnants of the Black and White Sword Saint's strength, unable to compare.

When only one-fifth remained uncut, the Black and White Guiyuan Sword couldn't advance even an inch!

Just a little more, and the tree would collapse thunderously, yet with Chu Nan's current ability, he couldn't budge even a tiny bit of the Blood-sucking Tree.

"Is this the end?" A trace of unwillingness flickered in Chu Nan's eyes—if only he could grow stronger.

If he could break through to the ninth layer of the Divine Illumination Realm, surely he could sever the Blood-sucking Tree in one blow!

However, Chu Nan had no more time left. Huo Zun, Zhou Song, Zhang Xu, Huo Wan, Zhou Bai, and others circumvented the Dragon Slaughter Tower and attacked all together.

Their weakest was at the fifth layer of the Cloud Sea Realm, capable of killing Chu Nan countless times with a mere finger.

"Chu Nan, you treacherous beast! You dare to destroy our strong race's Demon Blood Fruit! You deserve to die!"

"A mere Divine Illumination Realm, nothing but an ant."

"Hand over the Dragon Slaughter Tower—I'll make sure you have a complete corpse!"

…

Chu Nan's face showed determination as he prepared to face death. In such a situation, even with Kui Guang's help, it would likely be futile—the gap was too great.

Yet at that moment, an unexpected twist occurred!
