"This seat was born at the ti when the two realms were undivided, entered the Ancestor Sect, and witnessed the lower continent being split in two. Celestial Crossing Realm was suppressed by an unknown force, and the Martial Dao above Cloud Sea Realm was severed."
At that mont, Qiu Huang was confident of his victory and began his victory declaration leisurely, "Even the mighty Ancestor Sect fell into decline after the split of the two realms. I knew that if things continued like this, it would be only a matter of ti before my lifeforce was cut off and I vanished into ashes."
"So I found the long-lost Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, betrayed the Ancestor Sect, and incited conflicts among the nations of the Celestial Crossing Realm, causing endless warfare."
"Taking advantage of this opportunity, I perford Blood Refinent on all beings, practiced the lowest level Nine Heavens Cultivation thod to enhance my combat strength, and eventually did not hesitate to extend my life through possession."
Lu Daochang’s face was gloomy, while Chu Nan remained silent.
What Qiu Huang said was not much different from what Chu Nan knew. Everything was as the withered soul had said; Qiu Huang indeed extended his life through possession.
It was just unexpected that the withered soul was also a part of Qiu Huang.
Lu Daochang then asked, "Possession consus a lot of the soul’s original consciousness. Every possession causes irreversible damage to the consciousness. How did you manage to keep your consciousness intact for nearly ten thousand years?"
The Heavenly Dao maintains balance; it is impossible for a Martial Artist to rely endlessly on possession to extend life.
Even for the strongest martial artist, possession has its limits. And yet Qiu Huang, with Cloud Sea Realm Cultivation, has lived close to ten thousand years, having undergone possession likely no fewer than five tis.
This, in Lu Daochang’s understanding, is not sothing a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist can achieve.
After so many possessions, even if the soul can still exist, Qiu Huang’s consciousness should have long since been exhausted, losing self-awareness.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Huang sneered, "How could I not be aware of the drawbacks of possession? So I segnted my soul, allowing them to fuse and grow with others’ souls, ready to harvest when the ti is right, using the rged consciousness from the split souls to replenish the consciousness I lost."
Upon these words, both Lu Daochang and Chu Nan turned pale.
Qiu Huang’s thod is brutally relentless; possession consus consciousness, making a Martial Artist gradually lose self-awareness.
To prevent consciousness from dissipating, he split off parts of his soul with the sa mories as his own, and when the consciousness of the main soul dissipated, he would replenish it with the consciousness of the split souls.
In a certain sense, Qiu Huang maintains himself by fusing the consciousness of the split souls with the original soul.
"You fuse split souls with others’ souls and then devour them. Does that an you are still truly yourself?" Chu Nan questioned.
If according to Qiu Huang, at this mont he possesses not only self-awareness but also the consciousness from the fused and devoured split souls.
With multiple consciousnesses rging, how can self-awareness be maintained?
"Heh heh, you’re right!"
"So every split soul I cut off desires to betray and take my place. For instance, the withered soul just now has even cultivated its soul to be stronger than my main body."
"Devouring the withered soul, in a sense, is like rebirth within my being."
"But what does it matter? As long as I rember that I am Qiu Huang and my dream is to leave the Celestial Crossing Realm, that’s enough."
"As long as I have these two points, I am still !"
Facing this old monster who has lived for nearly ten thousand years, Chu Nan remained silent. For the sake of extending his life and ascending to higher Martial Arts Realms, the opponent has almost gone mad.
But it cannot be denied that, with a soul reaching Saint Realm, Qiu Huang is currently the strongest Human Race Martial Artist in the Celestial Crossing Realm known to Chu Nan.
Dark Dao, Death Dao, Soul Dao, rging the three Martial Dao, no one knows what kind of power could erupt.
Witnessing this, Chu Nan was secretly worried, stealthily handing Lu Daochang three drops of Nine Revolutions Vitality Fluid for survival.
"Elder Zhenwu, you step back, leave the rest to !"
Lu Daochang’s face was gloomy. After putting away the Nine Revolutions Vitality Fluid, he no longer listened to Qiu Huang’s nonsense and launched a surprise attack.
His body glowed, with terrifying power emanating boundlessly.
"Light Fist!"
A punch landed, emanating radiance for miles; at this mont, Lu Daochang seed to transform into the sun, able to disperse all darkness with a single strike!
Yet Qiu Huang, with a wicked grin upon seeing this, remained unhurried. After years of cultivation, his strength slightly exceeded Lu Daochang’s, not to ntion now possessing a terrifying Saint-level soul, making his strength fearfully imnse.
Endless darkness was released as Lu Daochang’s body beca engulfed in black flas, eting the attack with another punch.
Light and darkness clashed mid-air, causing the mountain peak to quiver continuously.
Boom!
The two forces entangled and finally exploded.
Lu Daochang retreated a hundred steps, while Qiu Huang remained unmoved, sneering, "Lu Daochang, today no one can prevent from refining the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall."
"I will use the ancestral bloodline within you to make this ancient hall recognize as its master."
Having said this, Qiu Huang charged forward, darkness and the aura of death perating the air, with a terrifying montum that caused Chu Nan to feel a strong sense of suffocation.
"Chu Nan, ascend to the peak quickly, I will hold him here!" Leaving this ssage, Lu Daochang engaged in battle with Qiu Huang.
Seeing this, Chu Nan dared not waste any ti and imdiately utilized his full cultivation to climb to the top of the mountain.
"Chu Nan, only the first Hall Master can refine the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!" Jiang ier suddenly blocked Chu Nan.
For Jiang ier, as long as she could stop Chu Nan here, it would be a great contribution, for Qiu Huang’s victory is only a matter of ti.
Even if she couldn’t refine the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall herself, Qiu Huang would grant her endless rewards.
The long whip danced like a venomous serpent, coiling toward Chu Nan.
"Dragon Slaughter Tower!" With a wave of Chu Nan’s hand, the Dragon Slaughter Tower appeared instantly, repelling the Holy Martial Whip.
Yet this strike did not stop Jiang ier’s advance. She stepped gracefully, with an enchanting posture, launching another attack.
Her peak Eight Heavens cultivation swept across the vicinity, giving Chu Nan trendous pressure.
"Chu Nan, stop right now!" Jiang ier’s whip lashed out, slashing across Chu Nan’s body, causing his skin to split and exposing his bones.
"Ice Ridge Dragon Spear!" Despite the pain, Chu Nan persevered, took out Lan Zhanhan’s Holy Martial weapon, and hurled it fiercely.
The Ice Ridge Long Spear emanated a chilling aura, like a rainbow piercing the sun, revealing endless killing intent to freeze everything.
Seeing this, Jiang ier responded disdainfully, "Just a futile attempt!"
Bam!
The whip and spear clashed mid-air; the Ice Ridge Long Spear was knocked down, deeply embedding itself into the mountain’s stone.
"Golden Sun Bloodbath Sword!"
At that mont, Chu Nan wielded the Golden Sun Bloodbath Sword, slashing forward, as surging Sword Qi cascaded like a waterfall.
The Holy Martial Whip danced, and this ti Jiang ier exerted her full effort, the whip engulfing a storm, crushing all of Chu Nan’s Sword Qi in an instant.
"Chu Nan, this ti you are finished!" Jiang ier let out an alluring laugh, ceasing her whip’s movent.
She intended to control Chu Nan and hand him over to Qiu Huang personally.
However, at this mont, Chu Nan coldly replied, "Jiang ier, you rejoice too soon!"
Boom!
With these words, a massive dark figure erged in the air, peak Eight Heavens, Dragon Beast manifesting!
