Chu Nan's eyes widened, never expecting Huo Jinya's move to be so terrifying, causing his two imperial-grade Spirit Martial to crack.

The surfaces of the two Emperor's Longswords were riddled with fierce cracks, looking shocking, as if they could be completely destroyed at any moment.

However, the Emperor's Martial Long Spear also shattered explosively under this blow, with black flames scattering all around, completely breaking apart.

"I really want to see how many imperial-grade Spirit Martial you have!" Chu Nan sneered, wrapping the longsword with Spiritual Power to protect them from damage.

Huo Jinya felt heartbroken; even in a Strong Race, imperial-grade Spirit Martial were extremely precious.

"Chu Nan, so what if you broke this move of mine, the ultimate victory will definitely be mine!"

Chu Nan sneered, the Golden Crow was suppressed, the Emperor Martial was destroyed, Huo Jinya's bag of tricks was empty!

Stowing away the Dual Swords, Chu Nan once again used the Battle Soul Banner, simultaneously attacking Huo Jinya with Huo Qi's Yin Soul.

He wielded nine fists, with thunderbolts illuminating the heavens, crashing onto Huo Jinya amidst rumbling roars.

Huo Jinya let out a tragic scream, losing all means, he was almost powerless under Chu Nan's storm-like Fist Power.

The most terrifying aspect of Zangba Evil Body was its strength, with the support of his Cultivation, each punch from Chu Nan was no weaker than the strength of a third-tier Celestial Martial Artist!

Bam!

After a full eighty-one punches, Huo Jinya's body exploded apart.

Flesh splattered everywhere, a ghastly sight.

Under the power of Chu Nan's Zangba Evil Body, Huo Jinya had no resistance left, a second-tier Cultivator of the Nine Heavens finally met his end!

This was Chu Nan's first time using his own strength to slay a second-tier strongman, but it would not be the last.

After killing Huo Jinya, Chu Nan wielded the Battle Soul Banner, imprisoning Huo Jinya's Yin Soul within it, granting him the soul of a second Nine Heavens Cultivator.

The suppressed Golden Crow dissipated amidst powerless cries, as the flames in a hundred-mile radius were entirely extinguished; the only remaining trace of Huo Jinya in this world was the Yin Soul in Chu Nan's Battle Soul Banner.

"Huo Jinya, is dead!" Huo Jindiao and Huo Jinming's expressions changed drastically as they fought fiercely with Zhi Tianping.

Although Huo Jinya was weaker than them, he was still a genuine Nine Heavens Cultivator; who would have thought that he would be killed by Chu Nan!

"Even I found it hard to kill Huo Jinya, yet Chu Nan managed to kill him!" Huo Jinming's expression changed drastically, light flickering in his eyes.

He exchanged glances with Huo Jindiao, and immediately abandoned Zhi Tianping, turning to flee.

If Chu Nan could kill Huo Jinya, it meant he possessed formidable strength that was not inferior or even surpassed theirs.

If he and Zhi Tianping joined forces, even if they weren't killed, they'd be severely wounded.

Seeing that capturing Chu Nan was hopeless, it was better to flee before Chu Nan arrived, perhaps leaving them a chance for revenge in the future!

"Don't let them escape!" Chu Nan urgently shouted, preparing to give chase.

Zhi Tianping also hurriedly used Demon Blood Power, intending to entangle Huo Jindiao and Huo Jinming, but their will to leave was firm, something Zhi Tianping alone could not thwart.

Eventually, Huo Jindiao and Huo Jinming fled, and after pursuing for ten miles, Chu Nan also panted heavily and chose to give up.

In reality, he was bluffing; though his combat strength was powerful, his reservoir of Spiritual Power was much lesser compared to Nine Heavens Cultivators.

Just now, killing Huo Jinya had been with all his might, with very little Spiritual Power left inside him, making it difficult to sustain another battle.

Fortunately, Huo Jindiao and Huo Jinming were afraid of dying, fleeing without inspecting thoroughly.

Seeing the two men completely escape, Chu Nan's mouth also curled into a smile.

"Chu Nan, your strength has advanced too quickly, you might not even be weaker than me now." Zhi Tianping came to Chu Nan's side, examining him from head to toe.

After Chu Nan stepped into the Cloud Sea Realm, Zhi Tianping had almost constantly been at his side.

He watched how Chu Nan grew, struggling to kill even Cloud Sea Realm sixth-tier once, to now slaying second-tier strongmen.

Even he couldn't help but feel a sense of envy at this strength.

Chu Nan, however, modestly said, "It's just luck, still slightly lacking compared to the seniors."

Zhi Tianping laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Humble, always so humble. This time, with Huo Jinya's slaying, your harvest must be sizable too."

Chu Nan nodded, taking out a Storage Bag he said, "I found this on Huo Jinya's body; it's for you, seniors shouldn't refuse."

"Without you, I couldn't have handled the three of them alone."

This time, Chu Nan's greatest gain was the successful formation of Zangba Evil Body, gaining the strength of a Nine Heavens Cultivator, entering the ranks of top-tier experts.

Compared to this, Huo Jinya's Storage Bag was less precious.

But Chu Nan had just found Huo Jinya's third-tier Martial Intent Comprehension of flames inside the Storage Bag, something invaluable to him, so he took it early.

The remaining Cultivation Techniques and Cultivation Resources, in terms of value, were not inferior to the third-tier Martial Intent Comprehension, or even several times better.

But to Chu Nan, they were dispensable.

"Alright, then I'll accept the gift!" Zhi Tianping also refrained from being polite, directly taking the Storage Bag.

He was born within the Zhi Family Secret Realm, always hailed as a formidable talent from a young age, breaking to Nine Heavens Cultivator within a century despite the constraints of Demon Blood's danger.

Regarding Cultivation, he always thought of himself as unrivaled, standing at the peak of the Celestial Crossing Realm.

But now, this thought of Zhi Tianping's had vanished entirely; after witnessing Chu Nan kill Huo Jinya, his desire for strength surged immeasurably.

"If I don't break through to third-tier soon, I may truly be unable to best this brat." Zhi Tianping thought with a wry smile, planning to retreat into seclusion for half a year once he returned to the Ancestor Sect.

He wouldn't emerge until breaking into the fourth-tier!

After the battle concluded, Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping cleaned the battlefield, then left the Senluo Mountain Range.

Shortly after returning to the Ancestor Sect, Chu Nan discovered that the Honored Guest martial artist, who once anonymously informed him about Xumi Wanshu, had already fled from the Ancestor Sect.

Apparently, he had already learned of Huo Jinya's defeat.

Chu Nan wasn't bothered by this; he already had a new goal in mind.

After escorting Zhi Tianping into seclusion, Chu Nan arrived at the area where the thirty-six True Martial Pavilions were located.

Placing his own True Martial Pavilion in its original position, Chu Nan overlooked the thirty-six True Martial Pavilions, with a gleam of amazement flashing in his eyes.

All thirty-six True Martial Pavilions were imperial-grade Spirit Martial, and after refining the thirty-first True Martial Pavilion of the sequence, he discovered that all the True Martial Pavilions were actually a single entity!

One True Martial Pavilion could reach imperial-grade Spirit Martial, but if thirty-six True Martial Pavilions were united, what level could they attain?

However, Chu Nan was most concerned with the legacy within the True Martial Pavilions.

Just the Zangba Evil Body alone had exponentially increased Chu Nan's strength, establishing a stable route for utilizing the Ancestral Bloodline Power.

If he could refine the other thirty-five True Martial Pavilions, and utilize all thirty-six transmissions, what kind of power would that be!

Thinking of this, Chu Nan couldn't help but reveal a trace of expectation and longing in his eyes.

He muttered to himself, "I will become the sole master of the thirty-six True Martial Pavilions!"
