Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 550: Returning to the Cyan Demon Mountain Range

Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Returning to the Cyan Demon Mountain Range

The Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, having relocated, was now completely deserted, exuding a strange and desolate aura.

The Chu family, after being stirred by Chu Nan, began to decline, with clan members continuously leaving, leading to an ever-dwindling family.

Chu Nan did not intervene in these changes, as he no longer cared about the myriad experiences of the past.

Now, his only remaining wish was to uncover his own identity and continually strengthen himself!

Crossing the Cyan Mountain County, Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping stepped into the Cyan Demon Mountain Range. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The Cyan Demon Mountain Range was extremely vast and could be said to be the first mountain range in the Celestial Crossing Realm!

But on the surface, the spiritual energy here was too scarce to call it a good place, so naturally, no strong individuals were willing to come here.

However, as his cultivation improved, Chu Nan’s perspective on the Cyan Demon Mountain Range changed entirely.

"Fellow Daoist Chu Nan, this Cyan Demon Mountain Range seems unremarkable, yet I have an inexplicable feeling of dread!" Zhi Tianping’s face was solemn, his tone full of trepidation.

Chu Nan was not surprised by Zhi Tianping’s words, for he could see more.

In the latter half of the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, which was also the deepest area, a faint mass of cyan-black fog loomed in the sky, about to envelop the entire latter half of the mountains.

It was like an invisible abyss, exuding a more daunting aura than when facing the Ji Shen Technique.

Without further words, Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping immediately understood that the people they sought were surely deep within the Cyan Demon Mountain Range.

The two sped towards the depths of the mountains, and as they went deeper, Chu Nan felt as if a pair of eyes were firmly fixed on him.

Upon stepping into the area shrouded by the cyan-black mist, both Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping halted simultaneously.

"What happened here?" Zhi Tianping looked around, unable to help but ask.

Grotesque earthbound rifts almost covered the depths of the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, with eerie black evil qi continuously billowing out, leaving the place barren and void of life.

It was like a pierced black cave, with raging winds roaring incessantly, as if they were angry screams.

The landscape was ravaged, with towering peaks that stood like broken swords reaching into the sky.

The clear sky had completely changed hue, and looking up from here, only dark clouds and a blood-red, eerie sky could be seen.

Ssshh~

A pitch-black rift flashed before them, its hidden suction almost swallowing Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping.

"This is a space rift!" Zhi Tianping’s expression was horrified, unable to comprehend what had occurred here to create an irreparable space rift.

The entire mountain environment couldn’t naturally recover; this place seemed like an earthly dead end!

Chu Nan remained silent, speculating that the latter half of the Cyan Demon Mountain Range was the battle site where Chu Fang led the Heavenly Balance Realm’s righteous path against the Sword Demon represented by the Sword Demon Hall.

Where top-tier powers of the lower realm had once battled, such a small Cyan Demon Mountain Range could never bear it.

The Celestial Crossing Realm and the Heavenly Balance Realm had been separated too long; the landscapes and rivers of the former couldn’t compare in recovery and resistance to the latter.

If no strong individual actively repaired it, this place might forever remain a dead end!

"Be careful here; there may be dangers even a Ninefold Martial Artist can’t resist. Avoid touching anything." Chu Nan kindly advised Zhi Tianping.

Zhi Tianping deeply nodded. After leaving the Zhi Family Secret Realm, he and Chu Nan had sought thrills, eager to experience life-and-death battles.

Before coming to the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, he was full of confidence, but at this moment, he had a bad feeling, somewhat regretting it.

After all, he never imagined the depths of the Cyan Demon Mountain Range would be so terrifying...

The two cautiously walked in the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, but besides them, there was no sign of life; there wasn’t a third living person to be found.

Until they reached a massive pit, Chu Nan, with a saddened expression, halted his steps.

This pit, spanning dozens of feet across, reached a depth of a thousand feet at its deepest.

The pit was as black as ink, seemingly piercing through the earth, with howling winds echoing, as if someone in the abyss below was issuing furious roars.

Even after more than ten years, the lingering power here remained shocking.

Though lacking evidence, upon seeing the pit for the first time, Chu Nan had an instinctive feeling this was where his father, Chu Fang, perished with the Sword Demon.

"I’m going down to take a look."

Leaving this sentence, Chu Nan stepped into the pit under Zhi Tianping’s astonished gaze. Zhi Tianping wanted to follow, but as soon as he lifted his foot, his body shuddered involuntarily, forcing him to retreat.

"Monster, truly a monster!" Zhi Tianping couldn’t help but exclaim as Chu Nan’s figure disappeared into the pit.

This pit gave Zhi Tianping a greater sense of dread than the entire Cyan Demon Mountain Range did.

It was as if something terrifying was hidden below, and if he dared to take a step, it would lead to eternal doom!

Inside the pit, Chu Nan sped downward, with no exit in sight.

Vaguely, he saw wisps of black energy spreading in the pit, attempting to infiltrate his body.

"This black energy... could it be the Sword Demon’s residual power?"

The black energy emitted indistinct murmurs, making Chu Nan feel irritable and inciting an unknown fury, with a murderous intent lingering in his mind.

And as he delved deeper, the black energy increased, and the murmuring seemed as if a thousand voices were clamoring in Chu Nan’s mind.

Affected by this, Chu Nan’s eyes turned gradually red, as if he were entering a frenzied state.

However, Chu Nan resolutely flew downward, thinking to see if perhaps Chu Fang’s body lay at the bottom, as he didn’t want his father’s corpse left exposed to the wild.

But as the black energy thickened, it even formed a black wall of air, which Chu Nan couldn’t penetrate no matter how hard he tried.

"Even the residual power of the Sword Demon after death is so terrifying; what kind of monster would he have been at full strength?"

Chu Nan’s expression turned serious, his fists secretly clenched.

He had a premonition that if he continued to force his way through, he might be killed by this black energy before even finding Chu Fang’s remains.

Destruction of the Four Symbols Sword Sect, the conquest of the Heavenly Balance Realm, Chu Fang paid with his life to slay him, his lingering power still unmanageable for Ninefold cultivators.

The Sword Demon in his prime was truly unmatched!

Yet, at this moment, Chu Nan couldn’t help but reveal a proud expression: "My father, not even a hundred years old, could kill such a terrifying being."

"As his son, having inherited his legacy, I naturally mustn’t fall short."

"My father once killed the Sword Demon, so from now on, I shall suppress this black energy. If the Sword Demon is reborn, I’ll slay him again!"

With a surge of lofty aspirations, Chu Nan soared toward the direction he came from.
