"The Nine Secret Changgeng Techniques must be mine!"

Sai Chan watched helplessly as Hai Tianshang was subdued by Chu Nan, knowing that relying on Hai Tianshang to seize the Nine Secret Changgeng Techniques was a pipe dream, and he immediately revealed a resolute expression.

Zhi Changmei hadn't understood what was happening when Sai Chan's whole body began to emit a dazzling green light.

Within the five layers of the Sea of Desire and Sin that permeated the world, three layers began to tremble and quake.

"Sai Chan, how dare you do this!" Zhi Changmei's expression changed in shock, his whole body filled with disbelief.

Zhi Changgeng, being a spirit corpse that had lost its soul, showed no particular reaction.

Chu Nan frowned, not fully understanding what was happening but sensing that something was amiss.

Sai Chan's gaze made his scalp tingle, and so Chu Nan did not hesitate to swiftly fly away from the battlefield, escaping far away.

"You can't escape!" Sai Chan roared, a red light suddenly bursting forth as his flesh exploded and scattered.

After Sai Chan's flesh exploded, something even more terrifying happened.

Three of the five layers of the sea of clouds simultaneously shattered, and Sai Chan's power, accumulated over a millennium, poured out, exploding in the center of the Zhi Family's Ancestral Land.

The explosion's force sweeps and crushes everything around it, covering a radius of ten miles, destroying every building in its path.

The ground was left in ruins, and the sky lost color for a hundred miles, while martial artists below the fifth level of the Cloud Sea Realm turned to dust!

Zhi Changgeng and Zhi Changmei were blown back into the air, unable to stop this outburst of power.

Having escaped ten miles away, Chu Nan watched the scene in lingering fear; if he had been even slightly slower, even with his Second Heaven protection, he would likely have perished!

No wonder someone who reached the ninth level of the Cloud Sea Realm was unmatched by ordinary Cloud Sea Realm martial artists.

"Fortunately, I'm quick to react; dying here would be a huge loss," Chu Nan sighed in relief, planning to move even further away.

Yet, at that moment, someone tore through the smoke rising from the explosion.

Self-destructing most of his flesh, remnants of Sai Chan's skeletal frame emerged, his back followed by two layers of cloud sea, transforming into a blood-red streak as he recklessly charged toward Chu Nan.

"Hand over the Nine Secret Changgeng Techniques!"

The lifespan of a martial artist may seem endless to mortals, but when facing death, no strong person can accept having all their cultivation yet still unable to stop dying.

If death cannot be conquered, what is the purpose of cultivation?

To extend their life, martial artists pushed to the extreme will sacrifice everything!

And practicing the Nine Secret Changgeng Techniques, unlocking the body's hidden vaults can extend lifespan; how could Sai Chan facing the end not go mad?

Chu Nan sensed the overwhelming murderous intent behind him and turned sharply, just in time to see Sai Chan recklessly charging at him with unmatched speed!

"Break!" Chu Nan decided immediately, unsheathing his sword without hesitation, even when facing a Ninth Heaven cultivator.

However, his sword qi cut into Sai Chan's body as if only scratching an itch, leaving no mark.

"Chu Nan, you can't escape!" Sai Chan's eyes revealed a maddening greed, and judging the distance sufficient, he reached out a giant hand to grab Chu Nan from afar.

Facing a truly overwhelming opponent, Chu Nan also had to be decisive.

With Zhi Changgeng and Zhi Changmei unable to rescue him in time, he shouted into the nearby void: "Senior Lu Yao, save me!"

"Another strong one?" Sai Chan's expression changed, but before he could react, a figure was already standing between him and Chu Nan.

Lu Yao stood upon the void, looking down at Sai Chan, saying, "Cultivation is not easy; I'll give you one last chance to retreat quickly, or face destruction and obliteration!"

With just one sentence, Lu Yao issued the final ultimatum.

Chu Nan's face lit up with joy, like Kui Guang, he felt immensely reassured as long as Lu Yao was on the scene, even though he didn't completely grasp the extent of Lu Yao's strength.

Yet, Sai Chan remained unmoved, sneering as he said, "Those who dare to stop me shall die!"

With that, Sai Chan fiercely attacked Lu Yao, gathering the Sea of Desire and Sin in his hands and launching a deadly blow directly at Lu Yao.

As the Sea of Desire and Sin charged forward, Sai Chan laughed, "Woman, under my Sea of Desire and Sin, your soul will completely fall and become my slave!"

Sai Chan's power could stir the desires within a human body, killing without form.

Yet, witnessing this scene, Lu Yao merely shook her head slightly, saying, "Stubborn fool."

Snap!

Chu Nan saw Lu Yao face Sai Chan's lethal move with just a light snap of her fingers, and immediately boundless sword qi surged forth.

The boundless sword qi shot from all directions, directly targeting Sai Chan!

While the Sea of Desire and Sin struck Lu Yao, it caused no effect, as she stated, "With a steadfast mind, not moving even with a thousand temptations."

"Well done, dying at the hands of a beauty like you is worth it," Sai Chan, his body pierced by sword qi, left these words as the sword qi suddenly exploded, causing his already broken body to shatter, spilling blood into the sky!

Hai Tianshang was even more shocked seeing this scene; he did not expect the first Ninth Heaven cultivator to die would be a strong one from their Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

"Senior, thankfully you intervened; otherwise, I would have been dead!" Chu Nan, looking at Lu Yao, said with lingering fear.

Without a powerful protector, Chu Nan's current situation was dire, to say the least.

Lu Yao remained indifferent; having invested greatly in Chu Nan, she naturally did not want him to die so easily.

"Congratulations on establishing your Second Heaven, reaching the Second Level of the Cloud Sea Realm and already able to establish a new sea of clouds is an achievement rarely matched even in the Endless Sky and Sword Sect, you truly never cease to amaze me," Lu Yao praised Chu Nan.

"I still have a long road ahead, compared to you, Senior, I'm still far lacking," Chu Nan said with a spirited expression, knowing that establishing the Second Heaven meant the potential for a Third!

As long as the opportunities were sufficient, Chu Nan hoped to establish all Nine Heavens when he broke through the ninth level of the Cloud Sea Realm, swiftly becoming one of the top forces in the Celestial Crossing Realm.

Then, whether dealing with Strong Races or the Royal Family, naturally, it would be no problem!

Lu Yao nodded slightly before standing protectively beside Chu Nan.

With Sai Chan's death, the whole of the Zhi Family's Ancestral Land returned to peace, though many martial artists still fell into madness due to the influence of the Sea of Desire and Sin.

Seeing this, Chu Nan didn't turn a blind eye and released his Blood Dao Cloud Sea to heal them from afar.

With the establishment of the Second Heaven, his healing ability was now several times stronger than before, and as long as their cultivation was below the fifth level of the Cloud Sea Realm, they could regain their senses in less than three breaths.

This time, however, Chu Nan did not directly crush these delusional consciousnesses, but instead absorbed them all into his sea of clouds.

During his battle with the Split Soul of the Withered Spirit, he discovered that delusional consciousnesses were quite effective against soul bodies!

While healing the Zhi Family martial artists, Zhi Changmei turned into a stream of light, a gloomy expression appearing as he approached Chu Nan.
