Chapter 750: Impenetrable Defense
"Ladies and gentlemen, there's no need to worry. Our Huo family is protected by a grand array, which is closely linked to the most solid defense of this Imperial Capital."
"Even if Chu Nan has the backing of the True Martial Holy Hall, he can forget about breaking through this array. If he thinks of seeking revenge against us, it is nothing but a fool's dream! The difference is simply too vast!"
It's necessary to understand that within this Imperial Capital, only the Huo family possesses Martial Artists at the Ninth Heaven level.
When it comes to true strength, they are actually far inferior to the Royal Family. The Royal Family wanting to eliminate them would hardly lift a finger.
However, what remains puzzling is that for thousands of years, the Royal Family has never managed to shake these powerful families. What is the secret behind this? It turns out, the key lies in this Imperial Capital—Ba Yang City!
Since the split of the two realms, experts beyond the Unity Realm either perished or mysteriously disappeared.
As a result, the Celestial Crossing Realm fell into the hands of the weak, who established numerous countries.
These countries, much like many races standing side by side, carved out their own territories, with endless conflicts.
Until thousands of years ago, the Qin Kingdom emerged suddenly, blessed with the Dragon Vein and the Ninth Heaven cultivation technique, with an overwhelming force, it eliminated all countries except itself, achieving the unification of the Celestial Crossing Realm.
The top ten strong races within the Imperial Capital include some that are long-standing Martial Arts Families, with histories even tracing back to ancient times.
These families possess deep foundations and formidable strength, wielding awe-inspiring power.
Another part comes from the martial families who surrendered from the extinguished countries.
The Qin Kingdom was able to unify the Celestial Crossing Realm not only by relying on such resources as the Earth Vein Dragon Qi and Ninth Heaven cultivation but also by the steadfast support of these strong races.
After all, the Ji family, having just acquired these powers, had not yet had enough time to fully cultivate these opportunities and grow thoroughly.
During the arduous journey to unify the Celestial Crossing Realm, the existence of strong races undoubtedly played a crucial role.
After the Qin Kingdom successfully unified the Celestial Crossing Realm, on the foundation of the original Qin Kingdom's Imperial Capital, the Royal Family and the strong races worked hand in hand to build the miraculous city—Heavenly Spirit Martial Ba Yang City!
In essence, Ba Yang City naturally evolved from Earth Vein Dragon Qi into Heavenly Spirit Martial, but the Ji family and strong races skillfully accelerated this process.
As a reward for the contributions of the strong races, each strong race gained control over a portion of Ba Yang City, ensuring their cultivation environment and safety were well protected.
Thus, the strong races' power, clearly inferior by countless times to that of the Royal Family, could still stand firm in the Imperial Capital, primarily because they also controlled a part of Ba Yang City.
And this part of the city could constantly provide the Huo family with abundant Spiritual Energy to aid in their cultivation and improvement, while also transforming into the most impregnable array shield to safeguard the peace and safety of the Huo family.
Although such an array cannot be used to actively attack enemies, it has already become a terrifying fortress in the Celestial Crossing Realm that strikes fear into the hearts of many!
Because as long as this array suffers any form of damage, it would cause immeasurable harm to Ba Yang City itself.
This is why, even if the Ji family possesses absolute power to crush the strong races, they dare not act rashly.
After all, Ba Yang City is the cornerstone and foundation on which the Royal Family relies for survival and development, allowing no mistakes or destruction.
Thus, the strong races foreshadowed by part of the array's protection, survived and barely clung on in the Imperial Capital.
As for the Zhi family, who were previously annihilated... they actually relied on the Demon Blood line derived from the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm to rise to power.
Although they had a period of glory and prosperity, not truly integrating into the core circle of the strong races naturally meant they could never gain any control over a part of Ba Yang City.
Even without the hidden madness-inducing danger of Demon Blood, the Zhi family was bound to face destruction sooner or later.
As Chu Nan approached once more, the martial artists in the Huo family, guarded by the defensive array rooted in Ba Yang City, gradually calmed down.
After all, even the Royal Family couldn't break through this defense, let alone a mere Chu Nan.
"Everyone need not worry, although Chu Nan is strong, he is merely a Ninth Heaven Martial Artist. Even if we stand still, allowing him to attack, he would never break through our family's defense!"
"That's right!"
"For him to dare provoke the Huo family is simply asking for trouble and inviting humiliation!"
"I seem to foresee Chu Nan retreating in defeat, unwillingly and awkwardly... Hahaha~"
At this moment, the entire Huo family was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and happiness.
They had just lost their own Ninth Heaven Martial Artist and urgently needed a battle that would force Chu Nan to leave in dejection, to boost their own confidence.
These people even arrogantly approached the edge of the grand array, trying to witness Chu Nan's defeat up close. Meanwhile, Chu Nan was steering the True Martial Holy Hall, gradually closing in on the Huo family.
Beside him, Lu Daochang and Real Person Tianxuan stood like towering mountains.
Lu Daochang spoke with a heavy tone, "The strong races control a portion of the Heavenly Spirit Martial Ba Yang City, whose constructed defenses are impregnable and unrivaled in the world."
"The degree of its sturdiness is unimaginable; even a Ninth Heaven pinnacle martial artist might not budge it an inch with their full strength. More importantly, should such a defense suffer damage, it might bring catastrophic consequences to the entire Ba Yang City."
...
Lu Daochang's warning was by no means unfounded, having witnessed countless events in the Imperial Capital over the millennia, far beyond anything Chu Nan experienced.
However, faced with Lu Daochang's earnest advise, Chu Nan merely offered a dismissive, cold smile, responding carelessly, "Affect Ba Yang City? What do I care!"
"If destroying Ba Yang City would benefit me, I would have nothing to lose."
As he spoke, they drew ever closer to the Huo family.
Chu Nan, with a thought, manipulated the True Martial Holy Hall, transforming it instantly into a massive, fiery-red meteor, like a falling sun, crashing towards the ground with a devastating momentum.
The power between heaven and earth resonated with the True Martial Holy Hall, giving rise to terrifying waves that shook the entire Imperial Capital in that instant.
The supreme might of the Heavenly Spirit Martial was fully unveiled at this moment!
Yet, the martial artists of the Huo family were exceedingly confident, refusing to believe Chu Nan could shatter their family's defense.
Thus, a dozen Cloud Sea Realm martial artists, and even Ninth Heaven cultivators, stood inside the array, watching Chu Nan bring down the True Martial Holy Hall without making any effort to dodge.
