Peerless Dragon Sovereign
Chapter 782: Standing Alone Against the Heroes
After slaying the enemy, Chu Nan did not stop his movements but instead began to manipulate the surrounding void.
He cast a cold and disdainful glance at everyone present, his eyes full of scorn and contempt.
At this moment, his cultivation was boiling, his aura becoming immensely powerful, even making Ji Qinghuo show a grave expression.
Of course, this did not mean that Chu Nan was currently a threat to Ji Qinghuo.
After all, Chu Nan had just stepped into the Unity Realm, still quite distant in strength compared to Ji Qinghuo, who was at the ninth layer of the Unity Realm.
However, Ji Qinghuo saw an extremely terrifying potential in Chu Nan, akin to witnessing a second Jiang Siming.
One might even say that the threat Chu Nan could pose in the future might surpass Jiang Siming by a notch!
For a moment, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence, not a sound to be heard. The barrier had been broken, and Chu Nan successfully stepped into the Unity Realm.
Everyone present felt as if a massive and immovable mountain was pressing on their hearts, making it nearly impossible to breathe.
Just then, the previously silent Ji Qinghuo suddenly made a move.
His action was as swift as lightning and utterly silent, clearly intending to catch Chu Nan off guard, launching a surprise attack to defeat him in one blow.
"Heh, Ji Qinghuo, where are you going?" The astute Tianxuan Zhenren immediately noticed Ji Qinghuo's intent to attack Chu Nan.
He flitted like a specter, instantly appearing in front of Ji Qinghuo, blocking his path.
Ji Qinghuo's face was extremely sullen, his eyes flashed coldly as he stared at Tianxuan Zhenren with gritted teeth, saying, "Tianxuan, get out of my way!"
"The existence of Chu Nan may threaten my Ji family's future dominance of the Celestial Crossing Realm. No matter what, he must die today."
Ji Qinghuo's voice was filled with endless killing intent and rage, as if he wanted to tear the entire world apart.
However, Tianxuan Zhenren merely smiled lightly, indifferent to Ji Qinghuo's threat.
He calmly said, "Chu Nan is my ally; if you wish to kill him, you must ask my permission first!"
Having said that, his body trembled slightly, and a terrifying aura burst out from him, standing off against Ji Qinghuo's momentum.
Tianxuan Zhenren knew well of Chu Nan's immense potential, believing that if Chu Nan could be protected and grow into a peerless powerhouse, he would reap generous rewards in the future.
Thus, without hesitation, he stood by Chu Nan, resolved to shield this future giant.
After awakening, Tianxuan Zhenren did not idle but utilized his time wisely.
Though he couldn't enhance his own cultivation, he meticulously gathered information about Chu Nan.
In the mouths of the martial artists from powerful clans and the imperial family forces, Chu Nan was depicted as a treacherous, sly, evil, brutal, and bloodthirsty villain.
However, in the eyes of many others, Chu Nan was a brave and fearless man who dared to challenge powerful aristocrats, highly gifted and grateful.
Everyone who allied with Chu Nan was guarded under his protection. Although Chu Nan now stood at the pinnacle of the Celestial Crossing Realm, he never forgot his sect.
Even the once incredibly weak Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, with only a Yang Wheel Martial Artist, was never lightly abandoned by Chu Nan, let alone others.
This was precisely the result of Chu Nan's silent influence through his actions. For most people, as long as they weren't enemies, they considered Chu Nan trustworthy.
Knowing this, Tianxuan Zhenren became even more determined to protect Chu Nan and help him grow into a mighty force, as it would benefit his future immensely.
However, Ji Qinghuo's face looked ashen, extremely displeased.
In his eyes, Chu Nan might be a genius worth investing in for Tianxuan Zhenren, but for him, Chu Nan seemed more like a massive threat that could obstruct the Ji family's path to world dominance.
Therefore, while Chu Nan had not yet fully matured, Ji Qinghuo understood that he must, at all costs, eliminate this potential enemy at the nascent stage!
Yet, unexpectedly, Tianxuan Zhenren, a man with no familial ties to Chu Nan, actually intervened to stop him.
Thus, the two martial artists, both at the ninth layer of the Unity Realm, with their own minds and intentions, began a fierce confrontation once more.
Given that both had suffered severe injuries from Jiang Siming before, their battle fluctuations were noticeably weaker now than before.
Nevertheless, their power was still not something ordinary martial artists could easily withstand.
Ji Shen Technique watched all this closely, his face also reflecting anger.
He instantly knew what action he should take next, thus he roared with fury, "Everyone heed my order, join me in executing this traitor Chu Nan!"
After Chu Nan successfully broke through to the Unity Realm, Ji Shen Technique knew he couldn't defeat him alone and did not hesitate to summon all the imperial martial artists who had broken through to the Unity Realm to jointly attack Chu Nan.
Meanwhile, many experts from other strong races at the Unity Realm quickly responded to Ji Shen Technique's call, joining the encirclement of Chu Nan.
Poor Lu Daochang had already been subdued, completely powerless to resist, and could only watch this life-and-death struggle unfold.
"Chu Nan, you act against the heavens and create endless slaughter; even if you manage to break through to the Unity Realm, you absolutely cannot escape the fate of death!"
"Today, I lead the champions from all paths, determined to bring you, this demon and apostate, to justice, to make you suffer the most painful punishment for your past crimes."
"Dozens of Unity Realm experts joining forces, even if you are a reborn great power from the Central Realm, don't think you can escape unscathed. Chu Nan, prepare to die!"
At once, angry shouts echoed all around, voices passing judgment on Chu Nan while also encouraging and cheering themselves.
Dozens of top experts attacked simultaneously, and the martial skills they displayed were incredibly terrifying, like tumultuous, surging waves seeming to engulf all things in the world.
The strength of Chu Nan not only terrified the imperial family but also the strong races, who dared not belittle him. Against such a formidable foe, all must unite in strength to have a chance at victory.
The royal family had always been a powerful presence, believing that only by following them could one reach the summit of the Celestial Crossing Realm.
However, Chu Nan's emergence made them feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Such talent and combat power already posed a threat to the strong races.
As the saying goes, "There are no whole eggs under a smashed nest"; if Chu Nan wasn't eliminated today, then in the future, it could be them who would be killed.
Ji Shen Technique did not hesitate to activate the Dragon Qi Transformation again, the Dragon Qi within him continuously rising as if he were the ruler of all things.
He exerted all his strength and threw a punch, instantly changing the color of the heavens and earth.
