Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 530: Huo Jiantang

The sharp Sword Qi was like roaring dragons, madly slashing at Chu Nan's body.

Chu Nan's flesh was torn open again and again, only to heal once more. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, yet the Dantian within him was surging like a storm.

He had to use all his strength to resist the damage caused by the Sword Qi, then devour the power of the Sword Qi to integrate it into his body, forming the fifth Cloud Sea.

Within the Broken Sword Valley, Chu Nan trudged forward with difficulty, and the deeper he went, the more intense the Sword Qi's assault became.

His body was repeatedly pushed back and knocked down, but the resolute Chu Nan did not retreat at all. He stood up again and again, advancing and resisting the thunderbolts slashing from all directions.

This Broken Sword Valley seemed endless, and every step Chu Nan took bore the weight of mountains.

But his gains were also tremendous. Inside the Four Symbols Cloud Sea, the part belonging to the Sword Qi Cloud Sea was gradually peeling away, and the fifth Cloud Sea was slowly taking shape through the tempering of the Sword Qi in Broken Sword Valley.

At the same time, Chu Nan's body was also becoming more resilient through the repeated honing by the Sword Qi.

He faintly felt that the power emanating from his flesh had become even more terrifying than before.

Chu Nan thought to himself, "If I form the fifth Cloud Sea, there will be no opponents within the Five Levels of Heaven!"

Thinking of this, Chu Nan felt even more excited. He quickened his heavy steps, delving deeper into the Broken Sword Valley, his silhouette gradually swallowed by the Sword Qi, leaving no trace.

...

While Chu Nan was using the Sword Qi of Broken Sword Valley to temper himself and shape the Fifth Heaven.

In the central section of Broken Sword Valley, a young man was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by countless sharp Sword Qi, crazily surging into his body.

This young man's black hair danced wildly, his features handsome, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, appearing extraordinary.

He sat solemnly in midair, and the surrounding Sword Qi continuously responded, wildly pouring into his body.

An intangible pressure enveloped him, making him seem like a Sword God on earth!

A strand of Sword Qi flew over the young man's head, falling into the darkness not far away, and he murmured while gazing forward, "Why is the Sword Qi in Broken Sword Valley so turbulent today?"

The young man looked puzzled, but quickly regained his calm.

Feeling the Sword Qi continually flooding into his body, the young man excitedly said, "The Four Symbols Sword Technique my aunt taught me is indeed strange, and this Secret Realm seems tailor-made for me."

"If I continue cultivating like this for a hundred years, I, Huo Jiantang, will surely become the first Sword Cultivator of the Nine Levels of Heaven in the history of the Celestial Crossing Realm!"

Huo Jiantang was invigorated, revealing an unshakable pride in his eyes.

To him, the Nine Levels of Heaven was within reach. He was born for the sword, destined to dominate the entire Celestial Crossing Realm.

Even to roam the Heavenly Balance Realm like Huo Mingxian, traversing the world for a lifetime!

He was already undeniably the strongest of the younger generation, with most elders showing him respect.

Because at less than a hundred years old, he reached the Fifth Heaven, and apart from Huo Mingxian, no one in the Celestial Crossing Realm had achieved such accomplishments.

However, Huo Jiantang's strength was a secret for the Huo family. Not even outsiders, few within the Huo family itself, knew of his power.

After all, one Huo Mingxian was already enough to make the Royal Family apprehensive. If the Ji family learned there was another prodigy at the level of Nine Levels of Heaven in the Huo family,

maybe the Huo family would follow in the footsteps of once powerful clans like the Zhijia!

That was something the Huo family didn't want to see.

"When I step into the Nine Levels of Heaven, the Huo family will certainly devour the Celestial Crossing Realm!" Huo Jiantang smiled with excitement, as if he was already seeing the future where the Huo family replaced the Ji family.

While Huo Jiantang was dreaming of the future, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

He saw a somewhat staggering figure resisting the surrounding Sword Qi, continuously approaching his location.

"No trace of Huo family bloodline, what's going on, why is there an outsider in this Secret Realm?"

Huo Jiantang showed a puzzled look, extremely cautious.

"What a strange Martial Artist, clearly in the Seven Levels of Cloud Sea, but has the aura of a Nine Levels of Heaven cultivator. Could it be he's like my aunt... the same?"

Realizing the other's peculiarity, Huo Jiantang raised a hand and pointed a Sword Finger.

The silver Sword Qi cut through the air, landing directly before the opponent, revealing a terrifying momentum capable of breaking everything.

"Enemy!"

Struggling to resist the Sword Qi, Chu Nan's expression changed abruptly. He casually punched, scattering the incoming Sword Qi into fragments.

He fixed a sharp gaze on Huo Jiantang, and coldly said, "Huo family Martial Artist, are you here to kill me as well?"

Watching the Sword Qi in Broken Sword Valley integrate into the opponent's body, Chu Nan sensed the other's extraordinary nature, understandably tense.

The person before him seemed much stronger than the elders he had faced before.

Huo Jiantang was also sizing up Chu Nan. Observing the healing wounds on his body, and sensing a familiar bloodline aura, he suddenly realized, "Your bloodline aura is very similar to Huo Nianfang."

"My aunt mentioned she had an older brother who was lost outside, named Chu Nan. Could it be you?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Although Chu Nan's blood was different from ordinary people's, he and Huo Nianfang shared the same lineage, and even if the bloodline was mystical, it couldn't hide their shared origin.

Chu Nan saw that the opponent was not intentionally blocking here, but simply cultivating.

"This Broken Sword Valley is something I must handle with care, yet this person before me can completely ignore it; he must have something unusual about him."

With this thought, Chu Nan did not conceal his identity, directly saying, "You're correct, I am indeed Chu Nan. I came this time to take my sister Huo Nianfang away from the Huo family."

Though wary, Chu Nan was unafraid.

Huo Jiantang had his extraordinary aspects, but so did he!

Upon hearing Chu Nan came for Huo Nianfang, Huo Jiantang's expression turned cold, his eyes flashing with Sword Aura as he exclaimed, "What, you're here to take Huo Nianfang!"

Boom!

The surrounding Sword Qi transformed into a storm, and the Broken Sword Valley seemed to resonate with countless Sword Qi.

"From the moment Huo Nianfang stepped into the Huo family, she became Huo family property. Her destiny must be controlled by the Huo family."

"I intend to use her Cyan Lotus Battle Body as a furnace."

"For the sake of you being her brother, I, Huo Jiantang, will spare your life. Leave now, cultivation is not easy, don't be delusional."

The Sword Qi storm swept the heavens and earth, like a coiling dragon.

Chu Nan had never seen such a terrifying Sword Cultivator. The opponent's Sword Intent was certainly at the third level and might even be close to the fourth level.

But in the face of threat, how could he retreat? He held the Blood Pattern Sword and declared, "Our bloodlines are closely bound; I, Chu Nan, cannot watch her fall into the abyss."

"Huo Jiantang, today Huo Nianfang must come with me, and whoever dares to stop me, I, Chu Nan, shall kill!"

Boom!

A burst of blood-colored Sword Qi erupted, causing the surrounding world to fall silent.

Chu Nan stared directly at Huo Jiantang, unmoved by an inch!

Seeing Chu Nan's unwavering gaze, Huo Jiantang suddenly laughed sinisterly, "Good, good, very good!"

"How many years has it been? Since I entered the Sword Dao, no one has dared to brandish their sword before me for decades."

"In that case, let's warm up with you before turning Huo Nianfang into a furnace."
