Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 690: Touching the Bottleneck

Chu Nan clearly felt that with the Yin Yang Cloud Sea, I am in you, and you are in me.

And surprisingly, signs of fusion really appeared. Although the process was extremely slow, almost imperceptible, they were indeed actively merging together.

"The Yin Yang Daoist may not be a good person, but his understanding of the Martial Dao is indeed beyond my reach."

"If the Yin Yang Cloud Sea can truly merge together, although this process may take ten or a hundred years... it doesn’t matter."

"As long as it can merge, a way to accelerate the process will be found in the future!"

Feeling his ability to use Yin Yang Power more flexibly, Chu Nan couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter.

As the fusion deepened, he could clearly feel himself growing stronger.

For Chu Nan, possessing peak power of the Ninth Heaven might really just be a matter of time.

Having mastered numerous powers, Chu Nan had essentially reached an extreme of his accumulation. Without making any changes, his cultivation would hardly experience a qualitative transformation as before.

But with the special trend of the Yin Yang Power Cloud Sea possessing fusion tendencies, Chu Nan’s Martial Dao had also reached a new realm.

He had a vague premonition in his heart that when the Yin Yang Cloud Sea merged, it might be the moment for him to break through to the Unity Realm!

...

"This feeling is too strong!"

In the blink of an eye, several more days passed, and Chu Nan and his companions were getting closer and closer to the Imperial Capital. As they traveled, he also experienced the changes in the Yin Yang Cloud Sea.

Though the fusion was slow, Chu Nan had the illusion that he could tear open space.

The two layers of the Cloud Sea roiled incessantly, with nearly endless power surging wildly, even his physical body becoming more resilient with it.

His heartbeat sounded like war drums, and his Treasure Blood was boiling with passion.

Chu Nan, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, had a flash of brilliance in his eyes. He seemed to sense something, slowly stood up, and clenched his five fingers.

Boom!

His fist fell thunderously on a distant mountain peak dozens of miles away, causing the space within a hundred miles to tremble continuously as if it were going to tear and collapse.

That mountain peak instantly toppled, leveled by Chu Nan’s punch as if it had never existed.

"The fist force fused with Yin Yang Power is terrifyingly strong."

"This punch just now even surpassed my full power strike when using the Desolate Profound Transformation before."

"At this moment, even without using the Desolate Profound Transformation to activate the Zangba Evil Body, I can possess a terrifying combat power of the Ninth Heaven Realm."

"Although still far from the peak of the Ninth Heaven, the future is promising!"

Chu Nan felt an unprecedented excitement inside, unaware that his strength had already grown to an extremely terrifying level.

He was an existence that no one in the Celestial Crossing Realm could ignore.

At the same time, Chu Nan also felt as though a faint coercion appeared between heaven and earth, coming from all directions, like mountains pressing on his cultivation.

Chu Nan frowned and thought to himself, "Could this be the force that suppresses martial artists in the Celestial Crossing Realm, preventing us from breaking through to the Unity Realm?"

"I can now sense this force. It seems that I’m getting closer to the limits of martial artists in the Celestial Crossing Realm..."

He sighed inwardly, unsure whether to be happy or worried about sensing this force.

Happy because fewer people can threaten him, worried because once he truly touches this force, his future may be completely cut off.

He gazed down at the cloudless sky, which seemed calm yet as if a pair of eyes were watching him.

Chu Nan clenched his fists tightly, thinking, "Cyan Demon, you occupy the Celestial Crossing Realm with supreme cultivation, and no one is your match."

"What are you sealing the Celestial Crossing Realm for, preventing us from breaking through to the Unity Realm?"

He sighed softly, knowing that this answer might never be revealed in the Celestial Crossing Realm, perhaps only when reaching the same realm as the Cyan Demon in the Heavenly Balance Realm could he comprehend this secret.

Lu Daochang saw Chu Nan’s state and sighed inwardly. Although he did not know exactly what happened, he could guess roughly: "Chu Nan, your current strength has already reached that of a true Ninth Heaven martial artist, and you must have felt that force that suppresses us."

"From now on, you will find that this force will make your cultivation increasingly difficult."

"No matter how demonically talented you are, no matter how outstanding and dazzling, in the face of this force, you are still an ant, and ultimately you can only halt your cultivation at the peak of the Ninth Heaven."

"If you want to break through, the only choice is to cross the Endless Sea of Suffering and escape to the Heavenly Balance Realm."

"Only there can we cross into a broader Martial Dao."

Saying this, a trace of anticipation appeared in Lu Daochang’s eyes, and that passionate gaze deeply affected Chu Nan’s emotions.

Chu Nan knew that Lu Daochang dreamed of leaving the Celestial Crossing Realm.

Now that Lu Daochang had obtained the crossing boat, he was naturally already impatient.

If not for assisting him, Lu Daochang would have embarked on his journey to the Heavenly Balance Realm long ago.

This time, returning to the Imperial Capital, Lu Daochang was going to take his family away to the Heavenly Balance Realm, perhaps never to return.

"Rest assured, Sect Leader, I am sure to go to the Heavenly Balance Realm eventually, the Endless Sea of Suffering can’t stop me," Chu Nan said decisively, even though he currently had no other way to traverse the two realms than using the crossing boat.

But Chu Nan was still confident that he would eventually be able to leave here.

Lu Daochang nodded and then said, "After I leave, I will entrust the Ancestor Sect to you."

"The Ancestor Sect was one of the top forces when the two realms were not yet divided, and it must not be destroyed. It must always stand on the land of the Celestial Crossing Realm."

Chu Nan’s expression turned solemn. He had already anticipated Lu Daochang’s decision.

After all, after Lu Daochang leaves, who else in the entire Ancestor Sect but him deserves the position of Sect Leader?

Chu Nan was among the strongest martial artists below the Ninth Heaven peak warriors, and only Lu Daochang surpassed him in the Ancestor Sect. With Lu Daochang gone, the position of supreme leader would naturally fall on his head.

By then, Chu Nan would have control over almost all the forces with Ninth Heaven martial artists, except the Strong Race and Royal Family.

This power had never been achieved by anyone since the division of the two realms, but it would soon be realized by Chu Nan!

In the sky above, getting closer to the Imperial Capital, the Dragon Beast’s mouth let out a joyful roar, as if venting the joy in its heart.

Meanwhile, within the Imperial Capital.

Just as Chu Nan and his two companions were about to arrive, the Imperial Capital was far from peaceful.

The entire Imperial Capital was eerily silent, with doors and windows closed, few people on the streets, and the whole Ba Yang City plunged into deathly silence.

Outside the Ancestor Sect, stood two martial artists, a man and a woman.

If Chu Nan were here, he would surely recognize them as Huo Mingxian and Huo Jiantang of the Huo family.
