Chapter 760: Prologue to a New Era
This Sword Qi stretched over a hundred miles, piercing the sky like a long rainbow, rushing straight into the clouds.
Dazzling flames burst forth alongside the Sword Qi, but dissipated in the blink of an eye, finally sinking deeply into the center of Huo Kui's forehead.
Huo Kui's face revealed a look of shock and disbelief. He reached out his fingers to gently touch the wound in the center of his brow, his eyes full of confusion and incomprehension.
He murmured to himself, "How could this be..."
However, before he could finish his words, the light in his eyes faded away entirely, and his body slumped softly to the ground.
This Supreme Elder of the Huo Family, who had just broken through to the Unity Realm within the time of a stick of incense, lost his life under the sword of the Celestial Xuan Real Person.
Celestial Xuan Real Person, with just one sword, extinguished his vitality!
The various forces watching the battlefield were also shocked and terrified to the extreme. Killing a Unity Realm martial artist with one sword—this horrifying power had already surpassed their understanding.
"Ancestor!"
"How is this possible!"
"The ancestor was a Unity Realm martial artist, and he killed the ancestor with one sword, we absolutely cannot let him go."
"Even the ancestor was killed, what should we do?"
"Impossible, an illusion, it must be an illusion."
...
Some were angry, some were terrified, and some couldn't believe it.
After killing Huo Kui, Celestial Xuan Real Person was not satisfied and cast his cold gaze at the rest of the Huo Family, saying, "Since you don't believe it, then go join your ancestor."
Before Chu Nan could speak, Celestial Xuan Real Person had already rushed towards the remaining Unity Realm martial artists of the Huo Family.
With Huo Kui's death, Celestial Xuan Real Person's formidable power was fully displayed, leaving the Huo Family with no ability to resist.
Under the joint force of the Ancestor Sect and Celestial Xuan Real Person, the Huo Family retreated step by step, with Huo Family martial artists dying at every moment.
From today on, there is no more Huo Family in the Imperial Capital!
At the same time, after Huo Kui's death, Chu Nan once again charged towards Huo Mingxian.
Seeing Huo Mingxian standing on the pavilion, Chu Nan swung his sword and said, "Huo Mingxian, let's see who can save you this time!"
Unexpectedly, Huo Mingxian looked at Chu Nan without a trace of fear and said, "Chu Nan, you killed my nephew and exterminated my entire clan. Such deep hatred and enmity, I, Huo Mingxian, will never forget."
"Just you wait, we will meet again, we will meet again!"
The Sword Qi fell, yet Chu Nan's expression was grim.
Just as the Sword Qi was about to decapitate Huo Mingxian, a surprising spatial fracture appeared behind her.
Chu Nan felt his hairs stand on end, and a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.
He saw a large cyan hand reach out from the ruptured space, grabbing Huo Mingxian and pulling her in.
Following that, an ice-cold voice rang out: "Chu Nan, I've taken Huo Mingxian with me. If you want to kill her, come to the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, if you dare..."
The cyan hand disappeared, the space restored as before, and Huo Mingxian was also gone.
Chu Nan looked in the direction where the cyan hand disappeared, clenching his fist tightly, the same thing happened again!
Just as Huo Mingxian was about to be killed, she escaped again.
Although the Cyan Demon doesn't kill Chu Nan, as long as Huo Mingxian has the Cyan Demon's protection, Chu Nan can't kill Huo Mingxian.
This cold fact made Chu Nan extremely angry, once again feeling his own weakness.
"My strength is still not enough, not enough!" Chu Nan roared in his heart, staring in the direction where Huo Mingxian disappeared, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
At this moment, Celestial Xuan Real Person, who had already slain all the Huo Family's Unity Realm martial artists, stood beside Chu Nan, looking at the direction where Huo Mingxian disappeared, and said with lingering fear: "Cyan Demon, could that hand just now be the Cyan Demon!"
The Cyan Demon is a legendary horrifying creature and a key to harmonizing the Power of Heaven and Earth in the Celestial Crossing Realm, also a powerful martial artist beyond the Human Race.
It is currently the most terrifying existence in the Celestial Crossing Realm.
If the Cyan Demon wishes, it could even annihilate all living beings in the Celestial Crossing Realm in one day.
Even for Celestial Xuan Real Person, in front of it, he is nothing more than an ant.
Chu Nan nodded and then said: "Indeed it was the Cyan Demon, but rest assured senior, as long as we don't go to the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, it shouldn't harm us."
Celestial Xuan Real Person knew more than Chu Nan, so he did not doubt Chu Nan's words.
He was merely puzzled as to what relationship there was between Huo Mingxian and the Cyan Demon, that it would risk breaking the void to save her.
...
Soon, the war between Chu Nan and the Huo Family ended, concluded with a comprehensive victory for Chu Nan.
The Strong Clan Huo Family, which stood tall in the Imperial Capital for thousands of years, completely turned to dust and ashes; its powerful members were all slain, and its millennia of accumulated resources were entirely seized by the Ancestor Sect.
Although there were remnants of the Huo Family left, they could no longer stir much of a storm.
A generation of a strong clan turned to ash in one day, inevitably evoking sighs.
After Chu Nan and his party left the Huo Family, they discovered that both the Royal Family and Strong Clans had deployed their strongest defenses, guarding against Chu Nan and the Ancestor Sect.
After all, at this moment, Chu Nan's side was undoubtedly the number one force in the Imperial Capital!
Celestial Xuan Real Person originally intended to take action and conveniently resolve the Royal Family.
The result was beyond Celestial Xuan Real Person's expectations; after the suppression force disappeared, the powers that Ba Yang City could exert became even stronger.
Celestial Xuan Real Person's strength hadn't fully recovered, and with Chu Nan's current strength, it was fundamentally hard to shake.
The Strong Clans and the Royal Family also remained hidden in their family estates and the Imperial Palace, not daring to come out.
Seeing that neither side could do anything to the other, both tacitly lowered their banners and beat the drums, each returning to their headquarters.
The entire Imperial Capital, after the destruction of the Huo Family, surprisingly fell into a brief silence.
All forces remained indoors, and countless powerful figures entered closed-door cultivation.
Moreover, resplendent rainbows continuously surged up, representing all forces actively breaking through cultivation, aiming to reach the Unity Realm.
At this moment, the Imperial Capital was turbulent and unpredictable.
The ninefold heaven martial artists, originally seen as pinnacle combat strength, were now struggling to maintain control over the entire situation.
Faced with such circumstances, they must seize this rare time window and fully elevate their cultivation realm to strive to reach the level of the Unity Realm.
Regardless of whether they belonged to vast power organizations or were individual weaklings, all were throwing themselves into exploring the mysteries of the Unity Realm.
Among them, some successfully broke through their bottlenecks, ushering in moments of glory; while others encountered setbacks and withdrew in silence.
However, these breakthrough lights were not limited to the internal Imperial Capital, sporadically shining with rays of hope even in some remote corners of its periphery.
This undoubtedly marked the dawn of a great era about to unfold, akin to the calm before the storm.
Once the strong individuals within each force successively break through to the Unity Realm, the world will undergo earth-shattering changes, forming a new configuration.
Whether they are from powerful races, noble royal families, or the recently rising Chu Nan, they will face significant challenges and opportunities in this upheaval of the new era.
They must tightly seize every opportunity, advancing as rapidly as possible to break through the cultivation limit of the Celestial Crossing Realm.
Because only the martial artist who reaches the finish line first has the strength to lead this new era's trend!
