The Bloodcry Python, even weakened by the Blood-sucking Tree, is still a terrifying existence above the ninth level of the Cloud Sea Realm.

Its strength is such that even if it stands still for a day, Chu Nan would not be able to inflict any damage.

Ever since the Demon Blood Fruit became harvestable, Chu Nan has constantly felt this terrifying sense of helplessness.

First, Huo Zun and others overpowered him, then he was besieged by Ji Tonggui and two others. Now the most frightening thing is that the Bloodcry Python has set its sights on him; not even the entire Spirit Corpse Sect could save him!

The original purpose of devouring the Ancestral Bloodline had long disappeared like smoke. The powerful strength of the Bloodcry Python made it impossible for Chu Nan to contemplate further.

Now, even staying alive has become a luxury.

"Human, beg me for mercy, in the most humble way, and I might consider giving you a dignified death," the Bloodcry Python sneered coldly, its eyes filled with mockery.

Of course, it would not kill Chu Nan quickly, as it enjoyed the process of tormenting him.

To take him from hope to despair, slowly grinding down his consciousness until he became a walking corpse, and then kill him.

To the Bloodcry Python's disappointment, Chu Nan coldly said, "Kill me if you must; I will never beg a demon beast for mercy!"

Chu Nan's tone was resolute; knowing he could not escape, he strived to maintain his dignity before death.

As a result, the Bloodcry Python angrily responded, "Fine, fine! Soon you will regret giving up the chance to beg for mercy. I'll let you know what true torment is."

As a demon beast with the Ancestral Bloodline, the Bloodcry Python possessed countless methods unknown to Chu Nan.

It could locate anyone related to him through his bloodline or aura.

Then it would torture them to the brink of death before killing them in front of Chu Nan.

It believed that seeing family and friends die would torment Chu Nan more than his own death.

What the Bloodcry Python planned, Chu Nan did not know. He hadn't given up hope and was actively contacting Kui Guang, saying: "Sword Venerable Master, you were the one who asked me to release this Bloodcry Python."

"Now that this Bloodcry Python wants to kill me, shouldn't you think of a way to help?"

At this moment, the only one Chu Nan could rely on was Kui Guang. He believed that this mysterious and ancient powerhouse must have his own methods.

The Sea of Consciousness surged, and a shadow emerged—Kui Guang.

With a calm demeanor, Kui Guang said to Chu Nan, "Chu Nan, since you have taken me as your master, how could I let you die easily?"

"Rest assured, as long as I am here, you will not die, and you may even gain an extraordinary opportunity!"

Chu Nan's spirit was uplifted, and his tense heart finally relaxed.

Although Chu Lingshan and the Spirit Corpse Sect were powerful, they had limits. Only Kui Guang had boundless strength.

Even as a remnant soul, once he decided to act, he could provide Chu Nan with great reassurance.

This was the absolute confidence built over long cooperation.

"So, Sword Venerable Master, what do you plan to do?" Chu Nan inquired.

Kui Guang replied, "I am just a remnant soul now, so naturally, I will use soul attacks as my means."

"Before, when you obtained the Celestial Soul Crossing, you gained the ability to devour souls and separate your soul, but you lacked a powerful means to attack with the soul."

"Earlier, I taught you the Ten Directions Soul-shocking Sword, and you've just barely reached the Realm of Soul Shock."

"Today, I will show you the true power of the Ten Directions Soul-shocking Sword!"

Upon hearing Kui Guang's words, Chu Nan was shaken.

The opponent was right; although his soul was strong, it lacked powerful methods of soul attack.

This was not because Chu Nan had no interest in soul attacks, but because he currently did not have great need for them.

Chu Nan had enough methods already; the opponents he encountered could either be directly killed or were too difficult to compete with.

The first form of the Ten Directions Soul-shocking Sword, Soul Shaking, could only tremble for an instant, redundant for weak foes and useless against strong ones.

Additionally, ever since leaving the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, Chu Nan had been under intense training for months, squeezing all his time to improve his strength.

There truly was no time to cultivate soul martial skills.

"Does Kui Guang intend to let me witness the true power of the Ten Directions Soul-shocking Sword and directly kill the Bloodcry Python?" Chu Nan's thoughts raced.

Though Kui Guang was now just a remnant soul, his strength seemed not as simple as it appeared.

"Human, next I will first cripple your cultivation, then break your limbs to wake you up properly!"

The Bloodcry Python's face twisted into a sinister smile as it fixed a deathly stare on Chu Nan, ready to proceed with its next move.

But at that moment, Chu Nan suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Beast, if you want to kill me, you're too early for that. Take this first."

"Huh?" The Bloodcry Python's eyes flashed with confusion, but soon saw a jet-black light flash from Chu Nan's forehead, shooting directly at its head.

The Bloodcry Python scoffed, "A futile struggle!"

With mocking laughter, it prepared to smash the black light, but was shocked as the light seemed to not exist, passing through its flesh straight into its soul.

"What have you done!" the Bloodcry Python roared angrily, like a cat with its tail stepped on.

Chu Nan chuckled softly, "You will soon find out."

Just then, a voice filled with majesty yet laced with coldness echoed in the Bloodcry Python's mind, "Ten Directions Soul-shocking Sword, First Form, Soul Shaking!"

As the words were spoken, the Bloodcry Python's entire body shuddered, its vision turned white, and its talons uncontrollably loosened, creating an opening.

Seizing this moment, Chu Nan slipped out like a loach and dashed away at top speed.

Feeling the relief of a narrow escape, Chu Nan let out a long breath.

But the Bloodcry Python would not let Chu Nan off so easily. Its distraction only lasted a moment before it reacted, roaring, "Human, you cannot escape!"

It immediately prepared to use its spatial ability to capture Chu Nan once more.

"Second Form, Soul Breaker!"

The cold, majestic voice rang out again, and within the Bloodcry Python's soul erupted an earth-shattering roar, as if a massive hammer struck its Sea of Consciousness.

This caused it to instantly lose control over its body, its massive form collapsing limply to the ground.

Although Soul Breaker could not directly destroy the Bloodcry Python's soul, it could render it unconscious, unable to control its body temporarily.

Seeing the Bloodcry Python fallen but still breathing, Chu Nan did not dare to be careless and continued to widen the distance.

Meanwhile, within the Sea of Consciousness of the Bloodcry Python, its soul manifested, overlooking its own Sea of Consciousness, "Which insignificant being dares to invade my soul!"

After two consecutive attacks, the Bloodcry Python immediately realized its soul was being invaded.

Once it regained consciousness, instead of controlling its body to chase after Chu Nan, it introspected into the Sea of Consciousness to find the despicable intruder.

Its icy gaze swept across the turbulent Sea of Consciousness, as if overlooking an entire world.

The Bloodcry Python quickly identified the mysterious black figure standing at the center of its Sea of Consciousness and furiously declared, "I will tear your soul to pieces!"

Kui Guang slowly raised his head, revealing his face, "Python brute, do you still recognize me?"
