Boom!

In the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm, Chu Nan's aura exploded as he successfully broke through to the ninth level of the Divine Illumination Realm.

By absorbing the power of the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python, Chu Nan leaped from the seventh to the ninth level of the Divine Illumination Realm, becoming a terrifying presence on the verge of achieving the Cloud Sea Realm.

But this was not enough to satisfy Chu Nan; he was continuously absorbing the power of the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python, waiting for the moment the Ancestral Bloodline would appear.

Soon, Chu Nan's physical strength also reached the ninth level of the Divine Illumination Realm, with this robust physique sometimes even comparable to that of Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists.

At this moment, a wisp of golden light surged into Chu Nan's body with the slight decay of the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python's corpse.

Instantly, the corpse of the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye, while Chu Nan's aura surged greatly.

"So big!"

Chu Nan immediately refined the Ancestral Bloodline and instantly discovered this bloodline was much larger than the previous two he possessed.

If the first two bloodlines added together were tree branches, then the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python's Ancestral Bloodline was the trunk, the two not even existing on the same level.

In the moment of refining the Ancestral Bloodline, Chu Nan's consciousness plunged into a vast, terrifying world.

The sun and moon appeared simultaneously, with myriad beasts roaring towards them.

In the sky, huge bodies roamed and rolled amongst the clouds, causing terrifying roars that made heaven and earth tremble. Even though Chu Nan knew all of this was an illusion, he couldn't help but feel a wave of panic.

Suddenly, the sun and moon in the sky abruptly disappeared, then slowly re-emerged, eventually resembling arrows shot from a bow, drawing rainbows across the sky and dramatically changing the landscape.

Rumble!

The clouds tore open, and a gigantic white-faced snake head descended, opening a massive mouth that seemed capable of swallowing a world.

Countless demon beasts scattered and fled, and only then did Chu Nan see clearly that the sun and moon in the sky were merely the eyes of this Ancestral Being!

The mouth of the Ancestral Being seemed like an abyss, where all things were swallowed as it passed, Chu Nan included.

His consciousness disappeared within the Ancestral Being's body, and in reality, his eyes suddenly opened wide.

Seeing the corpses of the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python, almost reduced to white bones beside him, Chu Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The scene just now was truly too shocking; in the moment of being swallowed by the Ancestral Being, he could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.

But it was all over, and Chu Nan had successfully tamed the Ancestral Bloodline from the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python!

"Both my physical body and cultivation have reached the ninth level of the Divine Illumination Realm. If I encounter the siege of Ji Tonggui, Huo Zhen, and Huo Yang again, I might not even need the Demon Blood Fruit to easily destroy them!"

"The most valuable thing is that through the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python's Ancestral Bloodline, I have gained three huge benefits."

With a wave of his large hand, the Power of Heaven and Earth gathered, and Chu Nan's hands condensed two types of powerful Martial Intents that were completely opposite yet complemented each other.

"By leveraging the Ancestral Bloodline heritage of the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python, I've immediately comprehended the Dark and Light Martial Intents, and once realized, they were at the second tier!"

The bloodline of the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python was extremely complex, mastering the Blood Dao, Light, Dark, and even Space.

Back then, to escape its predicament, it had imparted the Black and White Sword Saint with Dark and Light Martial Intents, making him incredibly powerful.

As for Chu Nan, during the process of receiving the Ancestral Bloodline's inherited memory, he directly comprehended the second-tier Light and Dark Martial Intents through contact with the image of the Ancestral Being, surpassing the earlier comprehended Wind, Thunder, and Fire!

Currently, he had mastered six Martial Intents: Sword, Dark, Light, Wind, Thunder, and Fire, with the first three already at the second tier.

With the second-tier Dark and Light Martial Intents, the power of the Black and White Sword Technique could truly be fully exerted.

Chu Nan's strength directly increased several times due to this!

Apart from these, the inherited Martial Skills from the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python were naturally not less, being even more terrifying than the Celestial Fire Torrent.

"With these, I might even become a super strong person capable of reverse-slaying the Cloud Sea Realm from within the Divine Illumination Realm!"

Chu Nan felt invigorated in his heart, having three types of Ancestral Bloodlines, with such a solid foundation, he was only one step away from the Cloud Sea Realm.

As long as he had the strength of the Cloud Sea Realm, in the Celestial Crossing Realm he would no longer be an ant, no longer a weakling.

No longer an ant to be trampled upon!

Once his cultivation was stabilized, Chu Nan cleared the impurities from his body and changed into a black robe.

Looking back at the corpse of the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python, now without the Ancestral Bloodline, its body was so decayed that a mere gust of wind could collapse it.

This thing had no more value, and Chu Nan felt no attachment as he turned and headed towards the exit of the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm.

Now, looking around, aside from Chu Nan, the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm was devoid of other Martial Artists, all frightened away by the appearance of the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python.

The situation outside the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm was unclear, but Chu Nan knew he had no choice but to leave.

Chu Lingshan and Zhi Qingge's lives were unknown, and Lin Yian's parents' whereabouts were even more uncertain.

What worried Chu Nan the most was the possibility that Lin Yian had already been taken to the Imperial Capital.

There, powerful adversaries were everywhere, and indeed with his current strength, Chu Nan could not contend against them.

"It's a pity that despite the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python being so formidable in life, it only allowed me to advance to the ninth level of the Divine Illumination Realm. If I had directly broken through to the Cloud Sea Realm, I would have a bigger bargaining chip after leaving here."

Chu Nan felt regretful but could only choose to accept it.

He transformed into a long rainbow, continually approaching the exit of the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm.

However, just ahead of Chu Nan, a piece of land slightly bulged, and then a figure poked its head out, taking in gulps of air.

"No... no movement."

"Finally, after waiting so long, it's quiet. That was really thrilling just now."

This person was none other than Huo Qian, a Martial Artist of the Huo family who had previously hunted Chu Nan.

Having only just achieved the first level of the Cloud Sea Realm, Huo Qian had been ordered by his family to lead the clan in besieging the Spirit Corpse Sect.

As a result, he witnessed Chu Nan suppressing Huo Zhen and slaughtering Huo Yang, thus pursuing Chu Nan.

Due to the dangers of the Earth Cave, he dared not enter, which inadvertently saved his life.

When the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python appeared, since he was too close to the Jiao-Python, he saw the Jiao-Python slaughter Huo Zun and others as easily as drinking water, and dared not run further.

So he dug a pit and buried himself to block all senses, betting that the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python wouldn't notice him.

He didn't even dare release his Spiritual Sense, leaving his life entirely to chance.

Huo Qian's luck was indeed very good; the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python subsequently focused all its attention on Chu Nan and completely ignored him.

After hiding underground for a long time, Huo Qian saw that the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python had never sought him out, so he released his senses, found the area empty, and immediately felt joyful, cautiously emerging from underground.

Unable to find the aura of the Weeping Blood Jiao-Python, his previously anxious heart finally relaxed, and he looked around saying, "It seems that everyone in the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm either escaped or were killed by that Demon Beast."

As Huo Qian sighed, he let out a soft "huh," seeing a vague figure rapidly flying from a distance.

As the figure drew nearer, he was even more surprised to discover he had seen this person before!

"Chu Nan, this guy is actually still alive."
