Chu Nan completed his task and looked at Zhi Changgeng, who had returned to his senses. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The previously berserk Zhi Changgeng had indeed brought him immense pressure. Now that the other had regained clarity, it was as if a crisis had been averted.

Having done everything, Chu Nan curiously observed Zhi Changgeng.

He noticed that after Zhi Changgeng recovered clarity, he did not show much excitement but rather appeared confused and even struggling.

Just as Chu Nan was puzzled, Zhi Changgeng suddenly spoke: "Young one, you must run! Tell Zhi Changmei outside not to let me out!"

"What?" Chu Nan's eyes widened, feeling he must have heard wrong, but he also sensed that the other wouldn't say this without reason.

At the same time, a huge sense of crisis spread in his heart. He quickly retracted the Blood Dao Cloud Sea from the array while mobilizing all his strength, preparing to respond to any imminent danger.

As soon as Zhi Changgeng finished speaking, his expression turned incredibly sinister, and his voice grew raspy as he said, "Heaven assists me, heaven assists me!"

"Having dispelled that insane consciousness, I can finally take over this body."

"Boy, let me use your soul as a tonic now..."

Chu Nan gasped, his scalp tingling instantly.

Upon hearing Zhi Changgeng's words, he immediately understood. This guy was not simply berserk; something horrifying was hidden within him.

Whoosh!

Chu Nan created blood-colored ripples within the array and retreated frantically. Although Zhi Changgeng's body was suppressed by the power of the array, it did not hinder him from attacking Chu Nan cruelly.

He suddenly opened his mouth wide, and a terrifying suction force emanated from him.

Chu Nan felt his body caught in a massive vortex, unable to move, and even his soul trembled as if it might be extracted.

Zhi Changgeng's face showed ecstatic joy, "Good, good, I didn't expect your soul to be so strong. Consuming you will allow me to fully control this body!"

Crash!

Under this enormous suction, Chu Nan's soul left his body. The dazzling gray soul, like a small fish, entered Zhi Changgeng's mouth, merging into him.

Chu Nan's body became a masterless entity, slowly floating within the array with the influence of the Blood Dao Cloud Sea.

Zhi Changmei, seated at the core of the array, slowly opened his eyes, gazing inside the array.

To his eyes, Chu Nan still stood beside Zhi Changgeng, manipulating the Blood Dao Cloud Sea, treating the berserk state, seemingly without any anomaly.

However, he did not know that the situation inside the array had already turned upside down!

...

Three hundred miles outside Zhitian City, beams of blood light shot into the sky, turning the sky within the Zhi Family Secret Realm blood red, transforming it into a world of blood.

On the ground, hundreds of Martial Artists in yellow robes tirelessly carved arrays and refined array materials.

A blood array, already taking shape and soon able to be activated, was gradually becoming complete under their efforts.

Zhi Polang stood in mid-air with a group of Zhi Family Martial Artists, nodding slightly, "Not bad. With this blood array, our Zhi Family will no longer be threatened by Demon Blood!"

"Hai Tianshang, how long until this blood array can be completed?"

Hai Tianshang stood respectfully beside Zhi Polang, without the arrogance he showed to Zhi Changmei.

After all, Zhi Polang was far stronger and more terrifying than his father, Hall Master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, Hai Wujie. Moreover, due to the influence of Demon Blood, his emotions were uncontrollable.

Any slight mishap could lead to his doom!

"Senior, give me another seven days, and within that time, the blood array will surely be completed. When activated, it can treat at least three thousand Zhi Family Martial Artists at once. In less than half a month, no Zhi Family Martial Artists will be troubled by Demon Blood anymore."

Hai Tianshang was confident. He believed Zhi Polang would be very satisfied with this result.

But unexpectedly, Zhi Polang roared in anger upon hearing this: "Seven days, still seven days!"

"Our Zhi Family has collaborated with your Desolate Ancient Holy Hall for years, spending millions in resources, and you tell me it still takes seven days to complete?"

Realizing Zhi Polang's anger, Hai Tianshang was terrified, fearing that this ruthless man might kill him in a fit of rage.

Thus, Hai Tianshang said fearfully: "Senior, this is the best we can do, working day and night, giving it our all. Please understand."

Zhi Polang slowly raised two fingers, gripping Hai Tianshang's neck, saying: "Two days, I'll give your Desolate Ancient Holy Hall no more than two days."

"I'll be here watching. If the array isn't completed in two days, I'll kill you all."

His eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, leaving no one listening in doubt.

Due to Demon Blood's influence, Zhi Polang bore no psychological burden about killing.

With his neck gripped, Hai Tianshang's heart almost leapt out. Zhi Polang's murderous gaze was so chilling that he dared not meet it. He quickly nodded in agreement: "Senior, let's settle this peacefully. Two days it is!"

Seeing Hai Tianshang agree, Zhi Polang nodded satisfied and released him: "Good, don't disappoint me two days from now."

Hai Tianshang rubbed his neck, still shaken, and gave Zhi Polang a wary glance before flying into the blood array.

To speed up the process, Hai Tianshang joined in personally. With his addition, the construction of the blood array indeed accelerated.

But Hai Tianshang was not sincere. As he contributed to building the blood array, he secretly resented, "Let you be arrogant a few more days. Once the blood array is complete, Zhi Family will be utterly destroyed!"

...

"This is… Zhi Changgeng's Sea of Consciousness!"

As his blurry vision cleared, Chu Nan was shocked to find himself within Zhi Changgeng's Sea of Consciousness.

This place was dim, filled with a decayed and rotting aura, as if it had endured countless battles, making it appear scarred and on the verge of collapse.

Chu Nan introspected himself and found his soul golden and completely semi-transparent.

Having lost his body, Chu Nan could only rely on his Spiritual Sense for protection.

Fortunately, Chu Nan had practiced methods for soul attacks, such as the Ten Directions Deadly Soul Sword and Celestial Soul Crossing!

The Soul Devourer ability could even help Chu Nan devour others' souls.

Even with these trump cards, Chu Nan did not dare to let his guard down, surveying his surroundings for any possible danger.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a silver light appeared. Chu Nan saw a large silver eggshell not far in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, he found a naked man curled up inside. His body was illusory, flickering, as if he might disappear at any moment.

What surprised Chu Nan most was that this man's appearance was identical to Zhi Changgeng!

"Senior, are you Zhi Changgeng?" Chu Nan probed with uncertainty.

The man in the eggshell opened his eyes, and upon seeing Chu Nan, he appeared excited and said, "Did Zhi Changmei send you to rescue me? I am indeed Zhi Changgeng. Help me out, and I'll reward you with half of the Zhi Family!"
