Chapter 592: Sky-Splitting Storm
Chapter 592: Sky-Splitting Storm
Boom! The area where Chen Chuan exerted his strength on the airship suddenly exploded, causing the entire vessel to wobble, and he plummeted downward rapidly.
A fierce gust of wind rushed towards him, his hair and clothing fluttering violently backwards under the powerful wind pressure. Clouds and mist swirled and scattered continuously before his eyes.
After falling for a distance, a flash of crimson light appeared behind him, and he instantly entered a rift, where a vast expanse of dazzling light suddenly appeared, as if merging into it.
It seemed like an eternity, yet also like the very next moment, the bright lights shattered, and he found himself outside again. But shortly after, the crimson light enveloped him once more, and he entered the rift once again.
This flow-like shuttle through the light continued several times, and when he emerged from the rift for the last time, he had already appeared above the Ferris Wheel.
In his eyes, it was a vortex of intensely radiant light, with countless colored strands of light gushing out and converging onto a certain object.
It was a colossal being, over two hundred meters tall, with its lower half resembling a gushing stream of air, spreading outwards, and its upper half condensed into a cluster, formed by the coalescence of multiform joints. It expanded and contracted, its body shifting and changing.
The being emanated various colors of intense light from within, illuminating the sky and sea in a dazzling display.
On the spiral structure were eye-like objects, and its surface was covered with layer upon layer of ever-changing airflow, giving it a fluid, liquid-like texture. The surrounding clouds formed an unnatural shape, clustering and lifting the being above the sea and land.
Chen Chuan knew that this was still an illusion, a manifestation of a field domain from another world, a projection of spirit. But if not dealt with promptly, this entity would truly transform in this direction.
At this moment, the being seemed to sense something, its body rising upwards, all the spiral eyes lifting in unison, as if preparing to do something. Countless spirals in the center emitted a dense glow.
But just then, on the ground beneath the Ferris Wheel Tower, an invisible force suddenly emerged, surging skyward. Under the reflection of the vortex, it resembled a pillar of light shooting towards the heavens.
Simultaneously, at twelve different locations on the peninsula, twelve lights also flickered, establishing a tight connection with each other.
The pillar of light, drawn by this force, reached its highest point and suddenly dispersed outwards, transforming into countless strands that enveloped the entity within.
Whether it was the massive vortex, the entity, or the surrounding anomalies, they all abruptly halted for an instant.
Chen Chuan focused on the colossal being, his grip tightening on the Snow Lord Sword, which he raised high.
In this moment, his spirit was more concentrated than ever, and under the pull of his powerful will, he drew power from another world, directing it onto the blade, where it merged with a certain force within, erupting into a dazzling brilliance.
Precisely at this moment, the time reached twelve o'clock sharp. The crimson mist behind him instantly regained its full strength, and a powerful force surged into his body. The light on the Snow Lord Sword abruptly intensified, extending over ten meters.
His power and spirit soared to unprecedented heights. With the crimson and white mist trailing behind him, he held the sword's blade, capable of cleaving the heavens, and with the force of a falling meteor, he slashed downwards from the sky.
This strike landed on the top of the entity, and a dazzling blade of light pierced through the vortex and the massive being, extending straight downwards, finally exploding upon impact with the ground.
From a distance, onlookers witnessed a slightly curved, dual-colored lightning bolt of crimson and white, tearing through the heavy mist and radiant light, striking the ground. After a brief pause, a brilliant glow erupted, causing people to squint and shield their eyes.
For a while, as the intense light gradually faded, people opened their eyes again.
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
Looking up, people were astonished to see the 200-meter-tall Ferris Wheel, standing by the coast, seemingly split in half by an invisible blade, with a rift opening in the middle.
After a while, the Ferris Wheel creaked and groaned, its supports bending and parts falling. The two semi-circular halves slowly separated, sparks flying, metal twisting and bending. Amidst the rising smoke and continuous tremors, the Ferris Wheel finally toppled, crashing down with a heavy thud.
The ground where it landed on the shore sent up a massive cloud of dust and debris, emitting a deafening roar, while the other part fell into the sea, causing a huge column of water and spray to surge. The white foam and waves kept rolling in, repeatedly crashing onto the shore, and even those far away felt the spray on their faces.
At that moment, all the various departments monitoring the battle had their holographic screens, presented by field entities, become blurry and unstable, making it impossible to discern the specific situation within.
Despite this, everyone stared intently, as if unwilling to miss a single detail. Most of them felt anxious and uneasy, yearning for a clear understanding of the current situation.
After a while, the interference gradually dissipated, and the holographic screens stabilized. As the smoke and mist slowly dispersed, the scene within was fully revealed, causing those who witnessed it to hold their breath in awe.
On the ground of the peninsula, a crater had formed, as if struck by a meteorite, so vast that it allowed seawater to seep in. Amidst the dissipating smoke, a figure stood there, holding a long sword in a slashing posture, with white mist rising around him and a crimson aura swirling around his body.
Across from him stood Wu Qi, his countless compound eyes fixed on Chen Chuan without blinking. Behind Wu Qi, a more massive spiritual manifestation loomed, seemingly obscuring the view ahead. Within its spiral tentacles, numerous glowing eyes appeared to focus on Chen Chuan.
Yet, Chen Chuan's gaze met this manifestation without fear.
After a brief standoff, the spiritual image seemed to waver, accompanied by a faint, resentful howl, slowly dissipating in the swirling air currents.
As the apparition vanished, Wu Qi seemed to regain control of himself, but as he moved, a cracking sound echoed, and a fissure opened on his forehead.
The fissure revealed not mutated tissue or blood, but only a patch of withered and charred skin. The crack rapidly extended downward, eventually causing his head to detach, followed by his broad shoulders. His body crumbled like rotten wood, breaking into pieces.
With a final snap, his robust legs broke, no longer able to support his weight, and he collapsed forward, shattering completely. Countless scattered fragments of dry, brittle debris created a rolling cloud of dust.
Seeing that it was truly defeated, Chen Chuan gave his sword a shake and slowly straightened up. At that moment, the air currents generated by the previous clash caused the mist to disperse, and the gray flakes were swept up by the wind, dancing like snowflakes around him.
Xu Chan and the others had already retreated to the outskirts when they sensed something amiss earlier, but they remained within the area.
Their chests rose and fell slightly as they watched this awe-inspiring scene from a distance, observing the figure standing there with a sword in hand.
They knew someone would deliver the decisive blow, but they never expected it to be executed in such a manner.
For a while, Xu Chan calmed his emotions, gazing at the split ruins of the Ferris Wheel Tower and then at Chen Chuan, recalling the awe-inspiring strike that demonstrated unparalleled courage. He exclaimed softly, "Beautiful!"
In the command center, the spectators witnessed this scene, and after a long silence, a wave of excited cheers erupted.
The watchtower's voice sounded at the right moment, "Active consciousness entity field domain has disappeared. Detected foreign object invasion has disappeared. Confirmed to have been eliminated and expelled. According to feedback from various departments... Horizon Plan has been completed."
This statement triggered an even louder cheer. Liang Specialist, standing on the second floor, also showed a relieved expression, as if a burden had been lifted.
However, he quickly straightened his face, speaking sternly, "The Shengmu split is not over yet. All departments, stay alert."
But his tone was not harsh.
Everyone responded loudly, but their faces still carried uncontrollable smiles.
This time, the active consciousness entity of the Ferris Wheel Corporation and that existence were eliminated together. Although the Shengmu split continued, could there be a greater threat within than these two?
After Liang Specialist's reminder, he didn't say more. He thought for a moment and instructed his female assistant, "Send a medical team to check on Old Xu and Captain Chen. Ensure they're unharmed."
Third Limit Fighters could gradually recover from injuries as long as they were alive, but since they had come into close contact with that existence, it was hard to tell if any hidden dangers remained. So, a thorough examination was necessary.
He paused, then added, "Tell them to take care. They're the pillars of Dashun. After this incident is over, I'll recommend them for commendation."
