In order to step into the Cloud Sea Realm and become a top-level expert in the Celestial Crossing Realm, Chu Nan paid an unimaginable price within the Zhi Family Secret Realm.

Cultivation Technique, Martial Skill, Martial Intent Comprehension, Imperial Grade Spirit Martial, Spirit Plant, Precious Treasures...

All these together had already exceeded one million yuan stones!

A Divine Illumination Realm Martial Artist spending a million yuan stones to break through to the Cloud Sea Realm is unprecedented even in the Heavenly Balance Realm!

Countless precious treasures transformed into pure energy of different attributes, flowing through the Desolate Profound Transformation into Chu Nan's Dantian.

The originally spacious Dantian was rapidly filled with this power. Chu Nan's abdomen swelled like a great drum, seemingly ready to burst at any moment.

A dangerous aura spread over Chu Nan's body. If the power within his Dantian went out of control and exploded, half of East City might be leveled, causing massive destruction.

But since Chu Nan dared to take this step, he naturally had full confidence.

The myriad of experiences and methods in molding the Cloud Sea recorded in the Cloud Sea Record and taught by Lu Yao gave Chu Nan the assurance that he could not fail!

After integrating all the treasures that needed to be broken and absorbed into his Dantian, Chu Nan began his final step, unifying these attribute energies under the operation of his Martial Arts Technique.

It ultimately transformed into Chu Nan's unique and strongest Cloud Sea!

Within the Dantian, the power surged ceaselessly. Under Chu Nan's control, these pure energies were methodically separated and guided step by step towards his envisioned goal.

Before he knew it, three days and nights had passed, and the time for his appointment with Zhi Changmei was drawing near.

While Chu Nan was focused on breaking through to the Cloud Sea Realm, outside the Demon Blood Pavilion, a killing intent surrounding him was quietly descending.

As night fell, the entire East City plunged into darkness, with only the weak light of various families swaying in the night.

Not far from the Demon Blood Pavilion, a dark red light suddenly burst forth, and Ge Bai, dressed in a dark red robe, appeared in the shadows.

His cold eyes fixed tightly on the direction of the Demon Blood Pavilion, he murmured: "Since the auction ended, Chu Nan has been in seclusion for three consecutive days."

"Considering he bid on many treasures at the auction to aid his breakthrough into the Cloud Sea Realm, he must be in the process of breaking through now!"

Chu Nan couldn't hide his actions in the Zhi Family Secret Realm, so it was easy for those with intentions to guess that he was breaking through to the Cloud Sea Realm.

But after all, this was the Zhi Family's territory, so besides Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, almost no one would dare confront Chu Nan.

After all, offending Chu Nan would leave you with no chance of regaining your sanity.

A cold smile appeared on Ge Bai's lips: "Chu Nan, do you really think you can break through to the Cloud Sea Realm? Better ask if our Desolate Ancient Holy Hall agrees first!"

After his words, Ge Bai strode boldly towards the Demon Blood Pavilion, not bothering to hide his tracks.

Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, being one of the oldest forces in the lower realm, naturally possessed its pride and history.

His actions quickly drew the attention of some Zhi Family experts because Zhi Changmei hoped to witness Chu Nan's breakthrough to the Cloud Sea Realm.

Even if Chu Nan hadn't asked Zhi Changmei to be his Guardian, Zhi Changmei would have discreetly sent people there anyway.

"Ge Bai, stop!"

"Chu Nan is breaking through to the Cloud Sea Realm. This concerns whether our Zhi Family's Second Ancestor can awaken—it must not fail!"

"If you take another step closer, don't blame us for getting rough."

Just as Ge Bai neared the Demon Blood Pavilion, several Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists secretly guarding the surroundings of the Zhi Family suddenly emerged, surrounding Ge Bai.

The lowest cultivation among them was the third level of the Cloud Sea Realm, with some even reaching the sixth level.

Even as the Hall Master of the Blood Spring Hall, Ge Bai couldn't handle such a formidable force.

However, faced with this, Ge Bai wore a calm expression, showing no fear as he said: "Chu Nan killed my Blood Spring Hall Martial Artists; he must be executed for his crimes."

"Even if your Zhi Family protects him, it's useless. We are determined to claim his life for our Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!"

Ge Bai's gaze swept over them, unyielding in his stance.

The Zhi Family Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists exchanged glances, unwilling to make an enemy of Ge Bai, as constructing a Blood Array relied on the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

Yet they couldn't allow Ge Bai to harm Chu Nan, so they decided to capture him first and report to Zhi Changmei.

"Since you persist in being obstinate, don't blame us then!"

"Attack together, just capture him, but do not harm him."

They quickly agreed on a plan, releasing their terrifying Cloud Sea Realm cultivation, pressuring Ge Bai.

Ge Bai coldly laughed, neither fleeing nor resisting.

He spoke calmly: "You alone can't do anything to me; if you want to save Chu Nan, at least let Zhi Changmei personally intervene!"

As his words fell, a massive blood shadow suddenly rose behind Ge Bai, turning the area outside the Demon Blood Pavilion into a blood-red world, suffocatingly frightening.

The immense pressure weighed on the Zhi Family's Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists, rendering them immobile.

"What's happening?"

"What is this?"

The Zhi Family Martial Artists cried out in terror, looking up in confusion, seeing only a blood-red sky.

"With us, Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, is there any need to look elsewhere?"

"I came personally today to make sure your Zhi Family knows that your only partner can be the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!"

A hoarse voice pierced the hearts of the Zhi Family's Martial Artists like a dagger.

A man cloaked in a blood-colored robe floated in the air.

His slender figure and elongated features resembled a fox, his face pale as if dusted with flour.

Radiating a terrifyingly dangerous aura, the Zhi Family's few Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists were shocked: "Desolate Ancient Holy Hall's Ninth Hall Master Hai Wujie—how is this possible."

"How can Hai Wujie appear in our Zhi Family Secret Realm!"

Hai Wujie, the fresh Ninth Hall Master of Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, a Secret Technique cultivator of Nine Heavens, was rumored to have reached the terrifying sixth level with his Cloud Sea, surpassing even Zhi Changmei in strength!

Only the first ancestor of the Zhi Family and the now maddened Zhi Changgeng could contend with him.

Hai Wujie's ruthless behavior and Blood Dao Techniques were unparalleled.

Rumors say he once slaughtered an entire city in Mosen Province overnight just to refine Blood Dao Spirit Martial from the blood of all lives, creating an unpredictable disaster upon entering the Zhi Family Secret Realm.

"Greetings, Ninth Hall Master!" Ge Baigong knelt with a look of reverence.

At this moment, a cold snort came from afar: "Hai Wujie, you think just a clone can run wild in our Zhi Family Secret Realm!"

Though Zhi Changmei had sent Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists to protect Chu Nan, he was also keeping watch.

Upon Hai Wujie's appearance, Zhi Changmei leaped out, waving his hand to retrieve the Martial Artists controlled by Hai Wujie, facing off with him in the air.

Hai Wujie wasn't angry. He coldly stared at Zhi Changmei and said: "Old man, killing Chu Nan is our Desolate Ancient Holy Hall's private affair, not your concern!"
