Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 793 793: Hidden Blood

Crack!

The branches shattered as Ji Shen Technique slowly walked towards Huo Mingxian, exuding an unparalleled aura of authority.

Having recovered from his injuries, he once again became the sovereign Emperor commanding the Celestial Crossing Realm.

Yet, upon seeing Ji Shen Technique, Huo Mingxian showed no trace of reverence, for she had the Cyan Demon protecting her. As long as she remained in the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, she had no fear of any danger.

Seeing Ji Shen Technique, Huo Mingxian's eyes suddenly brightened before he could reply, and she said, "Ji Shen Technique, you came at the perfect time. I've been worrying about how to quickly enhance my strength."

"Since you've broken through to the Unify Realm and your body is suffused with Dragon Qi, unrivaled in the world, if I devour your Dragon Qi, my power will certainly surpass Chu Nan!"

As her words fell, Huo Mingxian immediately stood up. The ancient tree behind her began to sway gently, shadows of each branch reaching towards Ji Shen Technique, as if tendrils meant to bind and swallow him.

Witnessing this scene, Ji Shen Technique's mouth twitched slightly, involuntarily taking a step back.

He felt this woman Huo Mingxian was simply insane, attacking him without hesitation to increase her Cultivation, so he quickly said, "Huo Mingxian, even if you could wield the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, even swallowing my Cultivation wouldn't let you surpass and kill Chu Nan."

Ji Shen Technique then recounted all his recent experiences to Huo Mingxian.

Learning that Chu Nan had already grown to the point where even the Royal Family couldn't handle him, Huo Mingxian couldn't help but show hatred and despair on her face.

Chu Nan's growth rate was remarkably rapid; she saw in him the shadow of Chu Fang from back in the day.

Chu Fang was like this before—during their first encounter he was merely at the initial state of Divine Illumination Realm, easily within her grasp.

But with time, Chu Fang became increasingly troublesome, eventually by a stroke of luck breaking through to the Cloud Sea Realm, ultimately crossing the Endless Sea of Suffering to reach the Heavenly Balance Realm.

In just a few decades, he grew to a level capable of perishing together with the Sword Demon.

That was the Sword Demon, who dominated an era, a Heavenless Realm powerhouse of nine levels, whom historically only Martial Artists ascending to the Midrealm could rival.

Yet Chu Fang could perish alongside him in the Cyan Demon Mountain Range.

In the Celestial Crossing Realm, few knew the name Chu Fang, but in the Heavenly Balance Realm, where he saved the lower realm, almost everyone knew of him; he was a paragon and model for countless prodigies.

Huo Mingxian still saw in Chu Nan the shadow of Chu Fang.

This made her worry whether Chu Nan might, like Chu Fang, grow in a few decades to a terrifying level matching the Sword Demon.

"Despicable, despicable!"

"If so, I, Huo Mingxian, fear my life's revenge will never be fulfilled!"

Huo Mingxian gnashed her teeth, her eyes turning blood-red, yearning to rush to the Imperial Capital and fight to the death with Chu Nan.

Yet she knew, at this moment, Chu Nan was beyond her ability to contend.

Seeing Huo Mingxian's face of hatred excited Ji Shen Technique greatly; this was exactly what he wanted. As long as Huo Mingxian retained her enmity against Chu Nan, he could exploit it.

Thus Ji Shen Technique said, "Why fret, fellow Daoist Huo Mingxian? With your relationship to the elder Cyan Demon, as long as you ask the elder Cyan Demon to intervene, even if Chu Nan had a thousand lives, he would have no escape!"

Ji Shen Technique's eyes revealed his eagerness.

Yet Huo Mingxian shook her head, saying, "If Cyan Demon could kill Chu Nan, I would have had him do it long ago."

"Cyan Demon needs to maintain the stability of the Celestial Crossing Realm's Array and cannot easily leave the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, plus he told me he won't make a move against Chu Nan, so don't count on it."

Although expected, Ji Shen Technique couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed after getting confirmation from Huo Mingxian's words.

Seeing this expression, Huo Mingxian's eyes showed a trace of ruthlessness as she said, "In fact, there is a way to kill Chu Nan; you just need to spread a certain message."

Upon hearing this, Ji Shen Technique's eyes brightened. Since Huo Mingxian said so, there must be a way.

Next, Huo Mingxian said, "The suppression of the Unify Realm Martial Artists by the heavens and earth has disappeared; Unify Realm Martial Artists will awaken one after another, among them not lacking those at the ninth level of Unify Realm or a step away from Myriad Forms peak talents."

"These individuals are powerful figures existing before the realms were divided, perhaps numbering in the thousands. Even if only a tenth want to kill Chu Nan, Chu Nan won't have a chance for survival!"

Ji Shen Technique's eyes lit up, immediately nodding, "You're right. Chu Nan possesses three pieces of heaven-grade Spirit Martial. Just leaking this news will surely tempt those awakening from the Unify Realm."

"By then, Chu Nan will have no escape, neither to ascend to the heavens nor to dive into the earth; it will be a road to death!"

This plan had indeed crossed Ji Shen Technique's mind before, but considering once many strong contenders vied for heaven-grade Spirit Martial, the Ji family might not benefit, he hesitated.

But seeing as relying on Huo Mingxian didn't work, he had no choice but to proceed with this method to kill Chu Nan.

Just as Ji Shen Technique brimmed with anticipation, Huo Mingxian shook her head, speaking disdainfully, "What's the point of heaven-grade Spirit Martial? Though strong, Spirit Martial is ultimately external. How does it compare to the supreme Martial Dao in the Midrealm?"

"If we act, we must release information that no Unify Realm Martial Artists can resist."

"Once this message spreads, don't say a tenth—even if two-thirds of the Unify Realm Martial Artists move to kill Chu Nan, it's possible!"

Ji Shen Technique was momentarily stunned, then said solemnly, "If it's really as you say, Chu Nan won't survive, not even with ten thousand lives."

"I'm quite curious, what on Chu Nan could make these Unify Realm Martial Artists flock to him—could it be an ultimate legacy from the Midrealm?"

Huo Mingxian shook her head, showing a hint of determination. She knew the most valuable thing about Chu Nan was out of her reach, so she might as well use it to turn the tables against him.

Thus, Huo Mingxian declared, "Chu Nan's physique is quite special."

"Special? How special could it be; perhaps some War Body? However, in the Celestial Crossing Realm, such a physique, though rare, isn't remarkable to someone of my level," Ji Shen Technique said, puzzled.

Huo Mingxian sneered, derisively, "War Body? What of it? Even Sacred Bodily and Dao Body can't compare to Chu Nan's physique!"

Ji Shen Technique was shocked, as Sacred Body and Dao Body both surpass War Body, yet even they couldn't rival Chu Nan. What secret does Chu Nan hold?

"Fellow Daoist Huo Mingxian, stop keeping secrets. What exactly is the secret about Chu Nan? Please tell me," Ji Shen Technique urged eagerly.

At this point, Huo Mingxian also stopped keeping secrets and directly informed Ji Shen Technique, "To tell you the truth, had it not been for the fact that I couldn't deal with Chu Nan, I wouldn't reveal this secret."

"Chu Nan's physique is extremely unique, as it is the only one in the lower realm. That's because his veins run with Hidden Blood!"
