Chapter 1198: Crumbling Mountains and Exposed Rifts
Chapter 1198: Crumbling Mountains and Exposed Rifts
Forced to kneel, the man’s face turned almost crimson, his body trembling violently. At this moment, a deep purple spiritual flame was spreading outward from within him, bursting through the torn skin and muscle.
The divine aspect’s power, unable to escape, sought to destroy the vessel to break free from its constraints.
However, a powerful force field enveloped him from the outside, along with a brilliant light like the sun. Chen Chuan’s white-gold spiritual flame had also penetrated his body, intertwining and clashing with his own spiritual flame, preventing him from shattering his form.
Chen Chuan felt a surge of power in his head, preventing him from exerting force with his palm. His eyes flashed, and he raised his hand, curling his fingers. He aimed at the man’s face and yanked downward, tearing off his entire face in one swift motion!
This sudden humiliation elicited a wild, furious scream from the man, causing the surrounding force field to expand outward.
If only his face had been torn, it wouldn’t have affected him much. However, with his divine aspect suppressed within, the two still being one, this was a real humiliation.
After tearing off his face, Chen Chuan took advantage of the man’s emotional turmoil, stepping back and deflecting the man’s cross sword to the side. He then advanced, holding the hilt with both hands, and delivered a powerful slash!
In an instant, the man was split in two, the purple-gold spiritual light inside him scattering in all directions. At that moment, a faint, ethereal divine light burst forth, desperately trying to escape.
However, before it could get far, the sun-like light around them intensified, illuminating the entire cavern. An invisible force bound it, not only here but also the entity tearing the rift, causing both to hesitate.
Chen Chuan’s long blade turned, the blade light swiftly catching up and striking the divine light.
The blade seemed to hit a tangible object; the moment it made contact, both spiritual flames exploded. The other side dimmed slightly, momentarily breaking free from the blade, trying to escape again.
Chen Chuan could sense something forcefully tearing through the barriers, the purple aura flowing within him. He followed up with another powerful slash, this time with even greater force and spiritual flame.
However, the opposing force was not weak. It seemed to grow more powerful after breaking free from the body. Upon striking, he felt a counterforce pushing back, causing the blade to rise sharply.
The divine aura dimmed further, then suddenly turned and escaped like a wisp of mist through the stone wall, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Chen Chuan didn’t pursue it. Instead, he raised his blade, closed his eyes, and sensed for a moment. The purple aura from his previous strikes had clung to the divine aura.
Feeling its location, a glow flowed along the blade, and he swung it in the direction it had fled.
A sharp, spiritual light shot from the blade, piercing through the stone wall and the divine aura, passing through it!
Under the night sky, the divine aura writhed and churned, emitting a faint, eerie howl, and the faces within it flickered before slowly dissipating into the air like smoke.
Chen Chuan, sensing no more of the purple aura, looked down at the broken body and the fallen face. He then unleashed a spiritual impact, reducing the remnants to dust.
Feeling the mountain trembling, he quickly emerged and approached the rift.
The entity emerging from the rift had already come halfway out, a massive, indistinct form at least forty to fifty meters tall. Its body seemed composed of rapidly flowing light and energy, occasionally bursting into brilliant colors, with countless shimmering light points at its edges.
Beneath this beautiful exterior lay a terrifying and twisted presence, low moans and howls echoing around.
Chen Chuan didn’t rush forward but observed. The entity seemed to know something was amiss, realizing it couldn’t stand without sufficient power, so it tried to send as much force as possible through the rift.
However, due to the World Ring’s suppression, it struggled to emerge, even though a part of it had already come through, with more power still buried behind.
He had dealt with such entities multiple times, knowing that this form was a manifestation of the entity’s mental power seeping into the material world and coalescing.
Now, it wasn’t fully stable, making it the perfect time to strike.
As this thought crossed his mind, the entity seemed to sense the threat. The light and energy within it stirred, forming numerous eyes that stared at him, and illusions began to form around him.
Chen Chuan remained unperturbed. The Great Bright Light Technique had been active all along, and now, under his conscious control, the light grew brighter, focusing on the entity.
Under the light’s illumination, the entity began to emit wisps of smoke, its materialized form gradually dissolving. However, the process was slow, and it had already built a strong presence.
But this didn’t mean it was invincible. Chen Chuan’s figure flashed, appearing before the entity, now within striking range.
The entity extended numerous limbs, aiming to crush him. However, two massive, white-gold arms condensed from the void, seizing it and slamming it into the ground. A loud explosion echoed as the ground cracked, and indistinct light and energy scattered.
The spirit phase form coalesced above, firmly pinning the entity down, its massive size giving it an advantage.
Chen Chuan stood there, his body slightly lowering. A glow appeared in his palm, and after a moment, he pressed his hand upward, releasing a powerful spiritual impact!
A massive beam of light shot through the entity, piercing through the mountain and bursting into the sky.
This strike not only shattered the mountain but also created a huge crater, causing immense destruction along its path.
The entire mountain shook, large rocks loosening and rolling down, and a deep, rumbling sound rose from the ground. Cracks spread like spider webs along the cave walls, and debris and dust rained down.
One side of the mountain could no longer hold, crumbling and collapsing, sending a cloud of dust and debris into the sky, which then dispersed in all directions.
At that moment, a battle airship dispatched by Central City approached, and the crew saw the scene with shock.
They knew a fighter had arrived and was likely in conflict with some local forces.
While they were aware that fighter battles could be destructive, this exceeded their imagination.
Imagine the consequences if such terrifying power were unleashed in a city.
As the dust and debris settled, an unusual light radiated from within.
An observer’s eyes widened, and one of them exclaimed, “A rift!”
With the ritual and barriers destroyed, the rift within the mountain could no longer be concealed. The airship’s bio-domain equipment malfunctioned, shrinking into a ball.
Moreover, as the domain and fluctuations from the rift spread, the bio-domains in Central City also detected it, triggering a different, more urgent danger alarm.
This alerted the Federation capital and surrounding Central Cities to the presence of a significant rift.
Upon learning of this, the Federation’s executive government immediately suggested dispatching fighters to handle it.
The ongoing meeting was put on hold, as dealing with the rift became the top priority.
With representatives from various governments and companies present, the executive government had to address the rift, regardless of whether it had always existed or just appeared.
In the collapsed mountain, the light surrounding Chen Chuan pushed aside the debris, slowly rising into the air.
All around, a brilliant, crystalline mist floated, remnants of the entity’s scattered power.
He gazed down, knowing that while the spiritual impact had shattered the entity’s exposed form, as long as the rift remained open and the power flow uncut, it wouldn’t be completely destroyed.
The opposing force still surged, showing no signs of giving up.
This entity had a core, the point where the spiritual and material realms intersected. Without eliminating it or sealing the rift, the entity could continue to channel power here.
He tightened his grip on the Xuejun Blade.
He had to find it quickly.
