Zhi Changgeng nodded slightly, his once clear eyes now completely dark, his body exuding a strong intent of death.

Following Chu Nan's command, Zhi Changgeng immediately wielded his longsword, which was a supreme grade Spirit Martial weapon, capable of cleaving mountains and cutting seas!

Zhi Changgeng was entirely focused, allowing the Sea of Desire and Sin to corrode his mind without any effect; neither driven by other desires nor descending into madness.

Sai Chan saw this and his expression turned fierce, his body transforming into a flowing light, ready to battle Zhi Changgeng with a giant beast-skin drum in hand.

The drumbeats roared, making the Sea of Desire and Sin even more terrifying; everything in the path of the sound waves turned into dust, reducing countless pavilions and towers to ashes.

However, Zhi Changgeng remained unmoved, heedless of injury, unafraid of death.

The pitch-dark, ominous Sea of Clouds expanded, with Sword Qi crisscrossing inside, and Zhi Changgeng's swinging sword forming terrifying Sword Dragons.

Sai Chan's face turned grim as he frantically struck the human-skin drum unleashing boundless power, yet though capable of faintly suppressing Zhi Changgeng, he couldn't kill him.

"Zhi Changgeng, has your strength declined?" Sai Chan laughed, attempting to break Zhi Changgeng's spirit with words.

Yet Zhi Changgeng remained unfazed, continuing to fight Sai Chan without regard for death.

Zhi Changmei suppressed his crazed consciousness, a look of joy on his face as he joined Zhi Changgeng, quickly overwhelming Sai Chan together.

"Zhi Changgeng, you finally awoke. With you here, our Zhi family will surely overcome this crisis and repel the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall's martial artists."

Zhi Changgeng's voice was excited as he sought to communicate with Zhi Changgeng while suppressing Sai Chan.

The two of them were peers from the Zhi family, the unparalleled geniuses of their time, unmatched in their brilliance.

Although not related by blood, they were nearly as close.

Seeing Zhi Changgeng regain clarity and fight enemies alongside him, Zhi Changmei's joy was beyond measure.

Yet to Zhi Changmei's confusion and disappointment, Zhi Changgeng continued to fight Sai Chan with a blank expression, ignoring Zhi Changmei entirely.

Moreover, through observation, Zhi Changmei realized that Zhi Changgeng's Sword Dao was completely different from before he descended into madness.

This Sword Dao contained an unmaskable intent of death, as if Zhi Changgeng was already dead.

But with danger all around, Zhi Changmei had no time to ponder further and could only join forces with Zhi Changgeng to first kill Sai Chan.

Not far away, Chu Nan slowly withdrew from the battlefield, watching Zhi Changgeng and musing, "I hope Zhi Changmei doesn't kill me once he realizes Zhi Changgeng has become a Spirit Corpse."

Zhi Changgeng's soul had been completely devoured by the Withered Soul, and Chu Nan, in turn, swallowed the Withered Soul, not only enhancing his soul strength but also learning some information about the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

Yet despite defeating the Split Soul of the Withered Soul, Zhi Changgeng's soul was gone, leaving Chu Nan helpless against the situation.

Especially knowing that the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall would send several cultivators of the Ninth Heaven, Chu Nan realized he couldn't contend with them with his current strength.

With Zhi Changgeng dead, Chu Nan used a significant amount of Yin Evil Spirit Pearls to protect himself, successfully turning the soul-scattered Zhi Changgeng into a Spirit Corpse.

With the Yin Evil Celestial Eye and Yin Evil Spirit Pearl, this was not difficult for Chu Nan to achieve.

But without Zhi Changgeng's soul, his strength was greatly weakened, and he wasn't a match for Sai Chan in one-on-one combat.

Seeing Sai Chan about to be slain by Zhi Changmei and Zhi Changgeng's combined efforts, Chu Nan breathed a sigh of relief and looked into the distance.

That was the direction where the Blood Array was located, but now it was in utter chaos.

The battle of three Seventh Heaven experts was world-shaking, and the aftermath could be felt even in the Ancestral Land.

If this continued, the Zhi Family Secret Realm would collapse without the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall needing to intervene.

At that time, with Zhi Family on the run, they would face not only the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall but also the combined siege of the Strong Race and the Royal Family.

"The martial artists of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall have arrived in the Zhi Family Secret Realm. I currently can't contend with them; finding a place to hide is most urgent now!"

Chu Nan was decisive, incapable of participating in the current battle, so he planned to find Lu Yao to hide temporarily.

Moreover, his biggest concern wasn't the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall but rather Zhi Changmei.

If Zhi Changmei discovered that Zhi Changgeng had been made into a Spirit Corpse, Chu Nan dared not imagine how frenzied Zhi Changmei would become.

Just as Chu Nan turned to escape, a Blood Sword descended from the sky, fiercely attacking him.

Chu Nan's senses were exceptionally acute; he immediately detected the killing intent behind him and evaded at once.

"Hand over the Nine Secrets of Changgeng Technique, and this Hall Master will leave you an intact corpse," Hai Tianshang said menacingly, stepping on the Sea of Blood.

Earlier during Sai Chan's battle, he didn't choose to escape but hid in the shadows waiting for an opportunity.

Now, with the Ninth Heaven cultivators in a difficult battle, the chance had finally presented itself, prompting Hai Tianshang to act without hesitation, aiming to kill Chu Nan and seize the Nine Secrets of Changgeng Technique!

"Hai Tianshang, it's you!" Chu Nan's eyes exploded with killing intent, gripping the Black and White Guiyuan Sword tightly.

Hai Tianshang's presence here was something he hadn't anticipated.

Hai Tianshang sneered confidently, saying, "Last time you escaped by using an Evil Technique, but with no one protecting you now, let's see how you escape my grasp!"

Chu Nan's expression quickly stabilized, and he slowly said, "My cultivation has hit a bottleneck; killing you will help me break through."

He was not afraid of Hai Tianshang's presence; although his opponent was at the Fifth Layer of the Cloud Sea Realm, Chu Nan himself wasn't without advancement.

Moreover, Chu Nan still had many trump cards yet to be revealed in the previous battles, and no one could determine who the victor would be!

"Arrogant! How could a mere Loose Cultivator be my opponent? Today, I'll let you..." Hai Tianshang shouted angrily.

But Chu Nan's eyes flashed with Sword Aura, and a Wind and Thunder Shadow suddenly struck Hai Tianshang.

"If you're going to kill, do it; you're talking too much."

Sword Qi streaked across like a long rainbow cutting through the sun, annihilating everything in its path!

"So fast!" Hai Tianshang's pupils shook with intensity; Chu Nan's strength surpassed his estimation, leaving barely any time to react. He punched directly at the Sword Qi.

Rip!

The clash of fist and sword brought unparalleled pain from his palm, causing Hai Tianshang intense agony, with bright red blood trickling from his fist.

Due to his rushed defense, he secretly suffered a loss in this confrontation.

"Chu Nan, die for me!" Hai Tianshang endured the searing pain from his palm, immediately channeling the Sea of Clouds into a giant hand striking down at Chu Nan.

This attack was overwhelming, causing the space to tremble, and the palm wind howled like rolling thunder.

Chu Nan was also decisive; the Yin Evil Celestial Eye suddenly opened, its brilliant purple light illuminating the world.

His Celestial Eye had reached the ground rank, and the power of the Yin Sha Tribulation Light had grown even stronger following Chu Nan's breakthrough to the Cloud Sea Realm.

The dazzling Yin Sha Tribulation Light pierced through the void like starlight ripples, tearing through layers of the Sea of Clouds, striking towards Hai Tianshang.

With a ripping sound, the blood-sea hand was cleaved in two by the Tribulation Light, and more terrifyingly, the light continued to stab towards Hai Tianshang!
