Chapter 1032: The Power of the Divine Whiskers
Chapter 1032: The Power of the Divine Whiskers
Chen Chuan stood atop Su Kuo's shoulders, and the Xuejun Knife in his hand pierced through the side of Su Kuo's neck, allowing strands of spiritual fire to seep down the blade.
But he knew it wasn't over yet. The falling spiritual fire was blocked by strands of deep red spiritual flames, and an intense force was churning and surging within this body, like a volcano about to erupt.
One could sense that this force was much stronger than the previous spiritual explosion.
Was this it, finally?
Chen Chuan drew his knife and forcefully stepped on the body, instantly teleporting to a distant location.
Almost in the next moment, billowing mist emerged from Su Kuo's body, covering a large area and spreading upwards. Within the mist, one could vaguely see lightning-like scarlet rays, and a powerful and dangerous aura was emanating outward.
Even the Old Imperial Court troopers, who were at a distance, showed expressions of terror. Zuan Xiansheng and the others felt a chill as the spiritual and field force radiating outwards carried a strong oppressive feeling.
Chen Chuan's gaze remained calm as he observed this transformation. Even if he rushed forward, he couldn't stop this process, but that didn't mean he was powerless.
He raised his hand, and a light glowed in his palm. After a while, a pure gold light ball suddenly rushed forward and crashed into the mist.
But there, a scarlet ray burst forth, scattering the spiritual light and blocking several subsequent spiritual impacts.
At that moment, the mist gradually dispersed, and a heavy oppressive force enveloped the surroundings. A giant statue, over thirty meters tall, covered in scarlet spiritual fire, appeared on the plain.
Its head resembled a dragon-horse hybrid, with a triangular forehead, blazing eyes, and an angry expression. Its body was armored with intricate, mutated tissue, and black and red whiskers hung from various parts of its body, reaching the ground.
On its sides were two additional heads, each controlling two arms. They held weapons like circlets, swords, and spears, surrounded by red smoke, appearing both real and illusory.
He had hesitated to use this form because, according to legends, the Divine Power Demon had the ability to 'die and be reborn, holding greater power.'
While he couldn't achieve this level, his second Yi-Li had a similar function. In his normal state, even with all his might, he couldn't defeat his opponent. But when faced with intense life-and-death crises, his second form would feedback more power due to the stimulation, meaning the strength of his opponent directly determined the power of his second form.
To enhance this power, he had made a vow. He couldn't control his second form himself, meaning without danger, he could only maintain his normal state and cultivate in that form.
For a Xuanji Warrior from the Immortality Realm of Chang Sheng Guan, the external form was indispensable during cultivation. Without it, increasing power was extremely difficult. But by giving it up, he gained a great reward, making his external form almost unbeatable among his peers.
This move had always been effective because he countered his opponents after they revealed their power. This time, Chen Chuan's strength had stimulated him to a great extent, causing him to unleash power far beyond what he had shown before.
The sight of such a colossal being on the plain was visually stunning. The Old Imperial Court's army and generals, already on the verge of collapse due to the Grand Prosperity Combatants' assault, were now invigorated, shouting battle cries towards the sky.
Chen Chuan took a glance; this external form indicated that Su Kuo had cultivated his visualization to an extremely deep level, almost reaching the realm of the gods and demons in his mind. This also meant that Su Kuo possessed a certain amount of divine and demonic power.
Chen Chuan didn't know what skills and methods his opponent possessed, but after the second form appeared, the feeling that something was amiss had vanished.
With that, there was no need for caution.
His thoughts moved, and his second self instantly merged.
At the same time, a flash appeared between his eyebrows, and misty aura swirled around him. Within this mist, a nearly thirty-meter-tall soul avatar materialized in the void behind him.
The avatar was covered in brilliant light armor, holding a knife in one hand and a long mace in the other, with floating cloud belts wrapped around its shoulders. As the avatar appeared, a thick layer of spiritual fire enveloped it, and intense pure gold flames burst upwards, with rising vapor directly ascending into the sky.
The two massive avatars stood facing each other, creating a scene akin to the arrival of legendary gods and deities.
This was the first time the Grand Prosperity Combatants had seen his external form, and their faces showed shock and awe. The Masked Man looked up, excited and emotional, saying, "Old Zuan, Chang Sheng Guan! This is Chang Sheng Guan!"
Zuan Xiansheng looked up at the figure standing tall on the plain, resembling a legendary divine general from the legends, and his heart stirred with emotion.
The old imperial court's cries abruptly ceased, and they stared at the massive Soul Avatar in silence and fear.
Gai Shu He had been retreating, and when he saw Su Kuo's valiant charge, he still held out hope, deciding to observe for a moment. But upon seeing Chen Chuan's Soul Avatar appear, he remained silent and quickly turned to retreat further.
The Embroidered Robe Envoy glanced at him but also didn't linger, swiftly withdrawing as well.
Su Kuo stared at the Soul Avatar ahead, his arms raised, holding a long spear that pointed forward. He marched heavily towards Su Kuo, each step causing the ground to shake as if mountains were quaking, accompanied by a loud rumble.
Chen Chuan stood with his sword, while his Soul Avatar remained still, merely assuming a blocking stance with both hands. As the spear thrust forward, the long sword suddenly extended, actively moving forward to parry, and the long mace followed, knocking the spear aside. The weapons clashed, creating a sound like thunder, as the sparks from the impact flew.
The Soul Avatar stepped forward, and the sword slashed upwards, deflecting the spear to the side. Su Kuo took the opportunity to turn halfway, facing the front with his head and body, and his circlet-wielding hands moved forward to parry.
But when the sword and circlet touched, a loud boom reverberated, and a mighty force like a mountain struck Su Kuo, causing his entire body to tremble and retreat.
Chen Chuan's Soul Avatar followed up with a spin, and the mace struck out. Su Kuo turned halfway again, positioning his three heads and eight arms to face the front, and all his circlet-wielding hands worked together to block the mace. Another dull boom echoed, like rolling thunder in the sky, and under this strike, Su Kuo was knocked back, staggering from the force.
He was both shocked and furious. He had thought that once his Yi-Zhi Xiang appeared, it would surely defeat the opponent. He never expected the Ren-Zhi Xiang's combat power to be even more fierce and ferocious, and the flexibility of its movements didn't resemble a Soul Avatar at all, but rather the original body.
Chen Chuan's sword and mace techniques were specifically designed for Soul Avatar combat, emphasizing the continuation of attacks after a successful strike. At this moment, the long mace withdrew, and the sword swiftly followed, pressing the attack.
Su Kuo quickly stabilized his stance and turned, thrusting his spear back towards Chen Chuan's face. However, the mace below swiftly lifted, knocking the spear aside with incredible speed. The sword swung down, and the two circlet-wielding hands on either side quickly rose to block.
But the descending sword seemed to lack power, and after reaching the midpoint, it merely pointed forward slightly before the body spun, and the mace drew back horizontally, slamming into Su Kuo's chest and abdomen with a loud bang. The impact caused sparks to fly, and his armor cracked.
After this strike, Su Kuo involuntarily staggered backward. Chen Chuan's Soul Avatar, in the midst of turning, had already positioned the sword on his shoulder, and now it slashed forward with force, striking Su Kuo's shoulder. Amidst the flying sparks, the shoulder and an entire arm were sliced off in one go.
The gigantic arm fell from the sky, crashing to the ground with a thunderous boom, sending dust flying and causing the ground to tremble continuously.
Having lost an arm, Su Kuo knew he was in trouble. He once again channeled his Yi-Li, causing his body to flicker and retreat from Chen Chuan's Soul Avatar.
Simultaneously, he flipped his body, turning to face the front with an uninjured head and arm.
The three-headed, eight-armed form wasn't ideal for exerting force, but it could handle enemies from different directions. Against a single opponent, combined with his Yi-Li, he had a significant advantage.
Although Su Kuo retreated swiftly, Chen Chuan's Soul Avatar closed in at an incredible speed. The sword and mace rained down blows, and Su Kuo hurriedly used his circlet-wielding hands to block, all four hands working together. With each collision, circles of shockwaves radiated outward, and spiritual sparks scattered.
After blocking several strikes, Su Kuo felt exhausted. As the sword slashed again, he lifted his hands, holding the sword to block. The clash rang out, and because he had hastily raised his sword, the spiritual fire on it wasn't sufficient. The opponent's sword flashed by, slicing his own sword into two pieces!
The attacks from the Soul Avatar were relentless, and the mace followed with a horizontal strike, hitting one of Su Kuo's arms. A loud crash sounded, and the dense spiritual fire exploded, instantly twisting the arm into an unnatural shape, causing Su Kuo to lose his balance and stumble to the side.
But at that moment, the hand that had been severed had secretly regrown, and as he retreated, his eyes narrowed. Suddenly, he grabbed the spear with both hands and flipped backward, thrusting it behind him!
However, before he could complete the move, a long sword extended and deflected the spear, leaving him exposed.
Chen Chuan's Soul Avatar paused briefly, then the mace struck one of Su Kuo's heads. The spiritual light burst forth, and the head exploded with a boom, spraying blood everywhere. Drops of blood, like mercury, fell to the ground, creating deep craters. Those that flew into the army formation directly pulverized the soldiers and horses.
