Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 689: The Path of the Martial Artist

The unique Treasure Blood flowing within Chu Nan’s body made the recent heavy injuries inconsequential to him.

More than the minor injuries on his body right now, Chu Nan hoped to attain the strength to defeat a Nine-layer Celestial Martial Artist without relying on the Zangba Evil Body before reaching the Imperial Capital.

Without the Zangba Evil Body, Chu Nan’s strength would only be at most the peak of the Eight-layer Celestial.

In just another day, under the support of the Treasure Blood, Chu Nan’s injuries had fully healed, leaving no hidden dangers.

Every time Chu Nan felt the peculiar nature of the Treasure Blood, he couldn’t help but admire it deeply in his heart.

Lu Yao had once warned him that the ability of this blood must never be revealed, or it would inevitably bring great calamity.

On this point, Chu Nan had gained a profound understanding.

In the Chu family, on the Mountain of Ten Thousand Corpses, in the Imperial Capital, because of this Treasure Blood, Chu Nan had encountered crisis after crisis.

This made Chu Nan more vigilant and also eager to learn more secrets about the Treasure Blood.

But he also knew that this goal was still too far from him.

Sighing, Chu Nan thought to himself, "It seems that I can only use the last method; perhaps the answer to the Yin Yang harmony lies in the simplest things."

In the Celestial Crossing Realm, or perhaps in the entire Lower Realm, there was an almost omnipresent phenomenon that inspired Chu Nan’s thought of Yin Yang fusion.

And that was the Yin Yang Fish!

In the Yin Yang Fish, black held a bit of white, and white held a bit of black. They were distinctly separate yet contained a part of each other, forming a very peculiar balance.

Chu Nan pondered in his heart: "If I could exchange a part of the Yin Yang Power, could I not establish a connection between the two distinct Cloud Seas and then seize the opportunity to integrate them?"

Undoubtedly, this method was extremely risky, as the Yin Power Cloud Sea was in the Soul, and the Yang Power Cloud Sea was in the Dantian.

Even the slightest exchange between the two powers could potentially lead to a huge hidden danger.

But Chu Nan, having tried multiple plans without success, this was the last option—the most probable yet most dangerous method.

"To get stronger, I must take some risks this time."

With this thought, Chu Nan clenched his fist and began to try.

Rip!

The Yin Yang Cloud Seas emitted a hiss as Chu Nan started to cut through their powers.

The feeling was extremely painful and dangerous. Chu Nan’s physical body and Soul trembled almost to the point of explosion.

Soon, Chu Nan used Spiritual Power to cut a portion from each of the Yin Yang Cloud Seas in their center and began to swap their positions.

The feeling of tearing pain surfaced, and Chu Nan’s face turned pale, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Whoosh~

Accompanied by a gust of wind inside his body, the forces he had cut off filled up the corresponding gaps.

A cluster of Yin Power manifested within the Yang Power Cloud Sea, while a segment of Yang Power appeared within the Yin Power Cloud Sea.

Seeing this scene, Chu Nan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but an unexpected change suddenly arose.

The dual Yin Yang Cloud Seas, upon realizing that opposing forces had entered their bodies, began to spiritedly resist.

The Yang Power Cloud Sea released dazzling light trying to shred all Yin Power, and the Yin Power Cloud Sea surged like massive waves hoping to devour all Yang Power.

The powers Chu Nan extracted with life-threatening effort were like a canoe amidst giant waves, ever at risk of being consumed by the forces of the two Cloud Seas.

"No, it can’t end like this!"

Seeing his painstakingly built-up efforts about to vanish, Chu Nan gritted his teeth and began using his Cultivation to suppress both Cloud Seas simultaneously.

The Sea of Consciousness Dao Pearl and Cloud Sea Dao Pearl emitted light, beginning to compress that light to calm the massive waves.

Simultaneously, Chu Nan also actively channeled the violently erupting forces of the Yin Yang Cloud Seas, integrating into the supplementary fragments of the opposite attribute to withstand the devouring force.

Undoubtedly, this was self-conflict that offered Chu Nan no benefit, building cons instead.

The Yin Yang Cloud Seas began to shrink, and Chu Nan’s powerful aura began to fade.

The massive depletion of Yin Yang Power also made the Yin Yang Cloud Seas slightly smaller than before.

This change left Chu Nan somewhat taken aback, but he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter, this time I must succeed!"

"Before opposing forces can become compatible, they must battle each other until neither can do anything to the other, only then will they choose to merge."

The Cultivation is such, and so is the Lower Realm.

Why was the Qin Kingdom able to unify the Celestial Crossing Realm? It was because, in the beginning, it fused many formidable powers equal to its own, thus completing a transformation.

This time, it was no different for Chu Nan. Yin Yang Power is inherently opposing, but once they balance, there will inevitably be a trend toward integration!

He was betting, but such is the path of a Martial Artist.

With no path ahead, one should blaze trails and expand territories, paving one’s path with one’s own hands and feet.

Rumble!

Noise resounded continuously within Chu Nan, but he grew increasingly excited, even a hint of madness surfaced in his eyes.

The Dragon Beast and Lu Daochang sensed as though something terrifying was colliding within Chu Nan, yet they dared not intervene.

"Chu Nan’s cultivation has reached a critical moment. Any slight change could cause him to fail, so despite the immense danger right now, my foremost task remains to protect him, guard his path!" Lu Daochang thought to himself, vigilantly surveying his surroundings.

The Dragon Beast was also in concert, soaring to a concealed place to provide Chu Nan with the best conditions for cultivation.

Only a fraction of his full physical size was being used, only dozens of meters long at the moment. Flying in the sky, hidden by clouds, it was not easily noticed.

Chu Nan was entirely oblivious to the attitudes of Lu Daochang and the Dragon Beast as he was wholly immersed in his cultivation.

The Yin Power Cloud Sea had reduced by one-tenth, while the Yang Power Cloud Sea had almost shrunk by close to two-tenths, and the two different attribute Cloud Seas fiercely contended.

Chu Nan’s body was like a battlefield; either one side would be defeated, or neither could do anything to the other, opting for integration.

Time passed by, unknown how long, until the Yang Power Cloud Sea was only seventy percent of its former self, and the Yin Power Cloud Sea was seventy-five percent when this accumulated confrontation finally ceased.

Chu Nan saw that on one side of the Yang Power Cloud Sea was a small patch of Yin Power, while within the opposing position in the Yin Power Cloud Sea, a small patch of Yang Power emerged.

The two Cloud Seas were equally large, differing only slightly in appearance, like looking into a mirror.

As the power of the Yin Yang Cloud Seas balanced, Chu Nan clearly felt his mastery over these two Cloud Seas had become even stronger and more flexible.

Although these two Cloud Seas were slightly weakened, Chu Nan could employ more of the Yin Yang Power, which was a great advantage for him!

Yet, such was just the start; what surprised Chu Nan most was that the Yin Yang Power of these two Cloud Seas began transmitting force through the regions containing the opposing counterpart within them.

Even without Chu Nan’s will interference, they seemed to have a tendency to merge slowly, though the process was extremely slow...

"Success, could it be that I have succeeded?"
