Night falls.
Outside Qingshan County, Cyan Demon Mountain Range.
This place is the largest mountain range in Qingshan County, spanning thousands of miles and inhabited by countless powerful demon beasts, making it extremely perilous. No one in Qingshan County can grasp its entirety.
It is also rumored that the Cyan Demon Mountain Range itself is an unimaginably terrifying demon beast!
Chu Hai brought several servants and left Chu Nan at the perimeter of the Cyan Demon Mountain Range.
Under the cold moonlight, Chu Nan stared unwaveringly at Chu Hai, as if trying to etch that face deeply into his mind.
Seeing Chu Nan's gaze, Chu Hai instantly flew into a rage: "Waste, you dare glare at me?"
"Liu Cai, break his legs, let's see if he still dares to glare!"
Chu Hai's short servant, Liu Cai, chuckled obsequiously: "Second Young Master, leave it to me!"
Quickly stepping forward, Liu Cai smirked maliciously: "Chu Nan, you brought this upon yourself for displeasing the Second Young Master."
Crack!
Liu Cai stomped twice in succession, and Chu Nan's legs instantly shattered.
The pain, piercing to the bone, caused Chu Nan's whole body to tremble violently, yet he gritted his teeth, refusing to make a sound.
Seeing this, Chu Hai sneered: "Chu Nan, let's see how long you can keep your stubborn mouth shut."
"This Cyan Demon Mountain Range is crawling with demon beasts, even I have to be cautious here. You can stay here and feed the beasts."
Liu Cai made a throat-slitting gesture: "Second Young Master, shouldn't we eliminate him completely?"
Chu Hai dismissed him with disdain: "This waste's Dantian and Martial Vein are destroyed, his cultivation lost, and his limbs are broken by me. Even if we don't kill him, he won't survive three days."
"Better to let the beasts devour him, then his death cannot be blamed on me!"
Chu Hai preferred for Chu Nan to lose his life in endless struggle rather than die swiftly.
Liu Cai bowed, flattering: "Second Young Master, you are truly brilliant!"
With that, Chu Hai and his men left laughing.
As Chu Nan watched Chu Hai's departing figure, the hatred in his heart nearly materialized.
He desperately wanted to get up and kill Chu Hai, to exact his vengeance, but with his limbs broken, even moving was a great difficulty.
The roars and footsteps of demon beasts echoed continuously within the Cyan Demon Mountain Range.
In the darkness of the mountains, it seemed countless cold eyes were fixed on Chu Nan.
His weakening body made his eyelids heavier, perhaps he would die before a beast could find him.
"Chu Han, Chu Hai, you beasts, I am so unwilling, so unwilling!"
Chu Nan's wrath was unquenchable, his heart repeatedly cried out in unwilling fury.
He loathed everything about the Chu family, the flames burning within wished to raze the Chu family to the ground.
Yet, as he was nearly a cripple, not to mention revenge, even survival seemed impossible.
Bang!
Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from nearby.
A faintly foul smell wafted into Chu Nan's nostrils, and when he turned his head, his pupils involuntarily contracted, for in the pitch-black mountains, a pair of eerie green eyes were firmly fixed on him.
"Am I really going to die here, Chu Nan?"
There was so much he wanted to do, he really didn't wish to die here.
As the eyes drew closer, utilizing the cold moonlight, Chu Nan clearly saw a gigantic white-furred wolf approach him.
"Wind Frost Giant Wolf!" Chu Nan's heart was shocked; it was a terrifying demon beast equivalent to the ninth level of Martial Dao's cleansing stage.
Even at his peak, he wouldn't stand a chance.
The Wind Frost Giant Wolf revealed a greedy gaze, emitting a buzzing roar and opened its bloody maw to bite him.
Chu Nan firmly locked eyes with the Wind Frost Giant Wolf, refusing to back down even in death.
"Damn it, I'm dying at the hands of this beast, so unwilling, so unwilling!"
Bang bang bang!
As its sharp teeth like daggers were about to pierce Chu Nan's throat.
Suddenly, Chu Nan was stunned to find his heart was beating at ten times its previous speed, and it continued to accelerate.
The sound of his heartbeats was like the perpetual war drums of a battlefield, or thunderbolts tearing the sky.
Chu Nan's eyes turned bloodshot, his blood surged through him like a roaring river.
Clusters of red phantom shadows began to emanate from his body.
To his astonishment, the injuries to his Martial Vein, Dantian, and limbs were healing at a visibly rapid pace.
The Treasure Blood, which had long lost its spiritual nature, surprisingly emanated a golden radiance.
The Wind Frost Giant Wolf let out a terrified howl as its teeth, an inch away from Chu Nan's throat, were restrained tightly by red phantom shadows.
Rendering it unable to advance or retreat.
The bizarre scene filled it with dread, desperately trying to escape but to no avail.
Even its body began to wither at a visible speed, pure spiritual power surged into Chu Nan's body like a dragon returning to the sea.
"My Treasure Blood… has recovered!"
Suddenly, Chu Nan's consciousness sank into an endless darkness.
"Where is this?" Chu Nan looked around dully, searching for an exit.
Golden light flashed, and not far in front of Chu Nan, an imposing figure in golden armor appeared.
Looking at this figure, an inexplicable feeling of closeness rose in his heart.
His voice trembled as he hesitantly asked, "Dad... is that you?"
Long ago, Chu Nan suspected his missing parents were extraordinary. After all, the legacy they left allowed the weak Chu family to become one of the top ten families in Qingshan County within just a few years, something the waste Chu Han spoke of could never achieve.
Chu Nan believed his father, Chu Fang, might well be a Yang Wheel Realm Martial Artist.
His parents' disappearance surely concealed secrets, and those who knew this secret might only be Chu Han and a few of Chu family's ancestors.
Chu Nan's mind surged, his vision gradually blurred.
Seeing the majestic figure remain silent, he rushed toward the phantom, speaking as he ran: "Dad, where did you go, why did you abandon me?"
"Where is mom, where is she, are you alive or dead?"
"Dad, say something~"
Reaching out to grab the phantom, Chu Nan had countless things he wished to say to his missing parents.
But the moment he touched the phantom, it suddenly shattered like a mirror.
In Chu Nan's astonished gaze, the phantom turned into streaks of golden light, eventually becoming enigmatic scriptures that filled the dark space.
Chu Nan noticed those dancing words resembled living martial artists.
They were like martial artists, fighting, cultivating, comprehending...
Curiously gazing at a passage, Chu Nan's consciousness was instantaneously drawn into an illusion.
A Golden Armored Giant suddenly appeared, bare-handed, gripping an Ancient Giant Dragon capable of annihilating the heavens and the earth, twisting off its head.
Blood poured like a waterfall and was entirely devoured by the Golden Armored Giant.
"What is this?" Chu Nan's consciousness returned, awed beyond measure.
Curious, he gazed at another scripture, and the illusion reappeared.
Purple bolts, crimson flames, black gales, endless ice and snow transformed into countless terrifying blades, slashing at the golden giant hovering in the void with overwhelming momentum.
Chu Nan was appalled at this power he couldn't comprehend.
Even a Yang Wheel Realm Martial Artist was insignificant before this power.
Yet the golden giant merely waved its hand, dispersing wind and lightning!
As his consciousness returned again, Chu Nan eagerly gazed at other scriptures.
"What in the world is this!" Chu Nan exclaimed, his face showing unutterable awe.
As Chu Nan reeled from shock, the dancing golden scriptures rushed toward his body, fusing with him completely.
"Nine Desolate Profound Transformation Scripture, Devour all demons as foundation, Absorb myriad beasts as blood, Reverse the progenitor of all beings, Create the sole Dao Body within heaven and beyond the heavens!"
