Chapter 1155: The Long Night Rises Like the Sun
Chapter 1155: The Long Night Rises Like the Sun
Chen Chuan hovered in mid-air, examining the peculiar entity before him. It was quite different from the beings he had encountered before.
It appeared to be a massive face, supported by a structure resembling a nose. Around it, shimmering Crystal Mist floated, but its body was covered in a membrane of muscles, with underlying muscles, tendons, and flowing blood, lacking the ethereal, mist-like quality of other entities.
This entity must have originally been a Spirit Body that entered the world and gradually materialized, becoming more stable over time.
In the areas where the Crystal Mist dispersed, fine Cracks appeared in the air, like fragmented electrical discharges.
These were actually its Field attempting to open rifts, but the city's Rituals restricted and continuously suppressed its power.
According to the information provided by the first delegation, this entity was named a "Wanderer", but the details were vague, with no further introduction beyond that.
He understood the reasoning; over the long ages, many such entities' powers had seeped into their world. Some were conscious, others unconscious. They became the earliest Worship Objects of ancient humans and even transformed into local Deities. Since these images and the entities behind them were essentially one, the Old Religions and their Deities were banned in the new era.
Just like the Old Sin, the more you know and spread, the more likely their power will resurface. In the context of comprehensive defense, using such euphemistic terms is appropriate.
However, the term "Wanderer" seemed to carry a deeper meaning.
As he observed his opponent, Mr. Weiss, who was standing nearby, noticed his hesitation and assumed he was wary. Although Mr. Weiss had not appeared when Chen Chuan arrived at the Free Academy, he had seen him through the Field screen. He offered a reminder.
"Mr. Chen, this thing's Corrosive Field is very strong. Be careful. We'll take turns suppressing it!"
Chen Chuan nodded slightly, thanked him, and then extended a finger downward. A bright light quickly flickered at his fingertip.
The entity, upon seeing this, suddenly had its eyes flash with light, which erupted in an instant. The Spirituality of both sides collided in mid-air, creating a ripple of light that expanded and scattered into smaller fragments.
After the collision, a deep, rolling thunder echoed from the sky.
The entity on the other side appeared unharmed, still standing firm, its two massive eyes fixed on him.
Chen Chuan met its gaze calmly. His earlier attack was a test, and it was clear that this Wanderer was far stronger than Cavinton.
Moreover, this was before the Relic that suppressed its spirit was removed from its body.
He glanced at the fine Cracks continuously forming in the Crystal Mist. Although it couldn't fully open the rifts, it could still draw energy from the other side through those tiny fissures to replenish itself.
At this moment, the Wanderer made an unexpected move. It responded to Chen Chuan's earlier inquiry, sending a message to him.
This time, the information was not chaotic but clearly expressed that if Chen Chuan were to let it retreat today, it would offer him a benefit, citing its previous deal with Cavinton as proof of its reliability.
However, because it had entrusted part of its power to Cavinton, it could clearly sense everything on that side and recognized Chen Chuan's strength, which is why it was willing to communicate with him.
Chen Chuan, upon hearing this, said, "So you can speak human language." He offered a clear path: "If you return on your own, I won't make things difficult for you."
He had already killed one Cavinton, and he wouldn't mind killing another. However, since he was asked to help block it, killing it might be disrespectful. Moreover, this Wanderer seemed to have research value, so if it were to be sensible, he could let it go.
However, after he said this, the entity's mental consciousness clearly indicated refusal. This made things easier. Chen Chuan spread his hand, and the light in his palm flickered. The power he gathered this time was far greater than the previous attack.
Almost instantly, a massive sphere of light descended, and this time, the entity seemed unprepared. Its massive body exploded in the impact.
Chen Chuan's eyes reflected the brilliant light that illuminated the night sky.
However, he knew this attack had not caused significant damage. The entity's body had dispersed on its own, breaking into numerous glowing fragments that scattered in all directions.
At that moment, the power of the Great Bright Light Technique surged from his body, radiating like the sun, revealing a humanoid figure fleeing to the periphery.
He flashed forward, blocking the figure's path. Holding his blade aloft, he stood against the dazzling neon lights of Central City, and said, "Where do you think you can hide?"
Before him stood a humanoid object covered in dense clusters of crystals, with a complete set of limbs and a head, and a well-proportioned body. Its face had a pair of glowing, strange eyes that seemed to draw one's spirit into a deep abyss.
Seeing Chen Chuan blocking his way, the figure did not retreat this time but swung a fist, which was enveloped in a shimmering, rainbow-colored flame akin to Spiritual Flame.
Chen Chuan countered with a punch. The moment their fists met, spiritual light erupted, and sparks flew. The power and Spiritual Flame they released were evenly matched.
After exchanging several moves in mid-air, he found an opening, grabbed the opponent's wrist, and spun around, kicking the figure far away. The air around him exploded, and under the influence of the force field, he quickly charged forward, releasing his Xuejun Blade and swinging both fists at the opponent. The Wanderer, moving swiftly, used his limbs to block the attacks.
In a brief moment, they exchanged dozens of attacks and defenses. Chen Chuan realized that this Wanderer was highly skilled, not only in technique but also in using movement to deflect and counter forces. At the same time, a Corrosive Field continuously assaulted him, causing his second self to frequently Phantomize.
He immediately understood that this entity must have been in this world for a long time or had possessed some Gou Dou Jia. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so familiar with human combat techniques and use them so proficiently.
This likely happened before it was imprisoned, indicating that this "Wanderer" indeed had some special qualities, which might be why it was confined in the Sealed Hall.
The battle with Cavinton was purely a test of strength, offering limited benefits for his self-improvement. However, fighting such an opponent now greatly heightened his fighting spirit.
He threw another punch, and the Wanderer extended a palm to block it. The point of contact burst into a series of flashing lights. The figure's arm and body twisted slightly in mid-air, defusing the force. It then spun around and struck back with a palm, a simple move but perfectly timed and executed.
What a remarkable skill.
Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow. Not only was it remarkable, but it was also seasoned. Among the opponents he had faced, Scarson's technique was the most refined and solid he had ever seen.
But this Wanderer surpassed even that, seemingly using various techniques with ease and fluidity, effortlessly shifting between different strengths.
He hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise today. He became more interested. Since this was the case, he decided to increase his intensity. He took a deep breath and activated the Heaven and Earth Furnace Breathing Technique. With his current physical condition, the boost was significant.
Upon noticing this, the Wanderer's strange eyes glinted, and its strength also increased. The sound of thunderous explosions filled the air as their limbs clashed, and light and flames burst forth. They rapidly exchanged hundreds of blows, and any misstep in their energy transfer would disrupt their rhythm. However, both sides were flawless, their attacks and defenses flowing like water.
Mr. Weiss was now on the sidelines. He had initially wanted to join the fight, but as he circled around, he realized he couldn't intervene.
As a Divine Phase Fighter, he could usually enhance his allies or influence the enemy, but in this situation, it was extremely difficult.
The Wanderer's infectious power prevented him from getting too close, and when it came to Chen Chuan, he found that his Mental Power couldn't attach at all. This meant that any mental attack would be ineffective unless he used some special means.
This left him awkwardly circling around, sometimes even struggling to keep up with their rapid movements.
Chen Chuan had long forgotten the plan to take turns attacking with Mr. Weiss. The more he fought this Wanderer, the higher his fighting spirit rose.
At his current level, he rarely experienced such a thrilling and intense battle. In the past, his opponents either had excellent technique but lacked strength, or they were strong but lacked technique, or they were deficient in speed. There was always a weakness he could exploit with his strengths.
But this opponent was different. There were no weaknesses, and as he increased his power, the opponent did the same.
He didn't want to kill such a formidable adversary.
Since that was the case, he decided to see how far this opponent could go.
His eyes flashed, and his Spiritual Flame burst outward, fully activating the Great Azure Sky Style and the Great Bright Light Technique. A brilliant, blinding light, as intense as a midday sun, erupted in the sky, making it impossible to look directly at it!
