Chapter 592: Slashing Through the Sky and Storm
Chapter 592: Slashing Through the Sky and Storm
With a thunderous boom, Chen Chuan exerted force on a specific spot, causing it to burst open, and the entire airship swayed as a result. He was propelled downward at a rapid speed.
The howling wind rushed towards him, blowing his hair and clothing backward with intense force. Clouds of mist swirled and scattered in front of him, continuously dissipating.
After falling for a distance, a flash of crimson light appeared behind him, instantly transporting him into a rift. A vast expanse of radiant light emerged before him, as if he had merged into it.
It felt like an eternity, yet in the next instant, the bright light shattered, and he found himself outside again. But within a brief moment, the crimson light enveloped him once more, and he entered the rift for the second time.
This rapid, light-speed traversal continued several times. When he emerged from the rift for the last time, he found himself above the Ferris Wheel.
In his eyes, it was a towering vortex of intense light, with countless white threads erupting from within and converging onto a massive entity.
This entity stood over two hundred meters tall, its lower half resembling a surging flow of air currents expanding outward, while its upper half formed a cluster of spiral-shaped tentacles that constantly coiled and unfurled, causing its entire body to contract and expand.
It emitted various colors of intense light from within, illuminating the sky and sea with a dazzling display.
The spiral tentacles were adorned with multiple glowing, eye-like structures, and its surface was covered in layers of constantly shifting air currents, giving it a fluid, liquid-like texture. The surrounding clouds formed an unnatural shape, gathering and lifting the entity above the sea.
Chen Chuan knew that this was still an illusion, a manifestation of the entity's domain from another world, a projection of its psychic power. If left unchecked, this entity would materialize in this direction.
At this moment, the entity seemed to sense something. Its body arched upward, and all the spiral eyes on the tentacles lifted in unison. Simultaneously, countless spirals at the center flashed with dense, flickering lights.
Just then, on the ground beneath the Ferris Wheel, an invisible force emerged, shooting skyward like a pillar of light, reflecting off the vortex above.
At the same time, twelve locations on the peninsula lit up with twelve beams of light, forming a tight network.
The pillar of light was drawn towards the highest point and then suddenly dispersed, transforming into countless threads that fell downward, enveloping the entity within.
The massive vortex, the entity, and the surrounding anomalies all came to an abrupt halt.
Chen Chuan focused on the colossal entity, raising his hands and brandishing the Snow Lady Sword high above his head.
In this moment, his mind reached an unprecedented level of concentration. With his powerful will, he channeled the energy from another world, drawing it down to the sword, where it merged with the sword's inherent power, erupting into a dazzling brilliance.
Precisely at this moment, the time struck twelve o'clock, and his second self regained its peak condition. The crimson mist seemed to sense something, and an overwhelming force surged into his body. The sword's radiance abruptly intensified, extending over ten meters in an instant!
His strength and mental focus reached an unparalleled peak. With crimson and white mists trailing behind him, he wielded the sword, a blade capable of cleaving through the heavens, and descended like a meteor.
In the next instant, the sword slashed down upon the entity's uppermost point. A blinding flash of light pierced through the vortex and the entity's massive body, extending downward in a straight line, finally crashing into the ground with a thunderous boom.
From a distance, onlookers witnessed a slightly curved, dual-colored streak of crimson and white lightning tearing through the sky, slicing through the thick fog and striking the ground with a blinding flash. After a brief pause, a brilliant burst of light erupted from the impact site, forcing people to shield their eyes.
A powerful gust of wind seemed to blow from the horizon, pushing people backward. All that could be heard was the howling wind.
After a while, as the intense light gradually faded, people reopened their eyes.
Someone exclaimed involuntarily, "Look!"
As everyone looked up, they were astonished to see the two-hundred-meter-tall Ferris Wheel, towering along the coast, seemingly cleaved in half by an invisible blade, with a gaping rift splitting it down the middle.
After a while, the Ferris Wheel emitted creaking and groaning sounds as its supports bent and parts fell. The two semi-circular halves slowly separated, revealing sparks and the sound of twisting metal. Amidst the rising dust, the ground shook, and the Ferris Wheel, to the awe-struck onlookers, finally tilted and crashed down, slamming into the earth.
(End of Chapter 592)
As the object struck the ground, a massive cloud of dust and debris rose into the air, accompanied by a thunderous roar. The portion that landed in the water created a towering column of spray and foam, with white bubbles and waves relentlessly crashing onto the shore, splashing water onto the faces of even those standing far away.
At that moment, the holographic projections created by the field creatures in the various departments monitoring the battle became blurry and unstable, making it impossible to discern the specific details within.
Despite this, everyone remained fixated, unwilling to miss a single moment. Most of them felt a mix of anxiety and unease, yearning for a clear understanding of the current situation.
After a while, the interference began to dissipate, and the holographic projections gradually stabilized. As the dust and mist slowly cleared, the scene within finally came into view, causing those who witnessed it to hold their breath in awe.
On the ground of a peninsula, a massive crater had formed, as if a meteor had struck the earth. It was so enormous that the surrounding seawater had encroached upon it. Amidst the dissipating dust, a figure stood there, surrounded by wisps of rising white smoke and a swirling crimson aura encircling their body.
Chen Chuan stood in the center of the crater, maintaining a stance with both hands gripping his sword, poised for a strike. Opposite him, Vigorous Mind Body stood, its numerous compound eyes on its head and chest fixed intently upon Chen Chuan. Behind it, a more massive spiritual manifestation loomed, as if obscuring the view ahead. The spiraling tentacles of this entity were adorned with countless glowing eyes, all seemingly focused on Chen Chuan.
Yet, Chen Chuan's gaze remained unwavering, meeting the stare of the spiritual entity without the slightest hint of fear.
The two stood in a tense standoff for a while, the spiritual entity emitting a faint, reluctant howl as it slowly dissipated amidst the swirling currents.
Once the entity had completely vanished, Vigorous Mind Body seemed to regain control of itself, but as it moved, a cracking sound emanated from it. A fissure appeared on its forehead, revealing not mutated tissue or flesh, but rather a withered and charred interior.
The crack rapidly extended downward, reaching the lower half of its body. First, half of its head fell off, followed by its broad shoulders. Its body crumbled like rotting wood, breaking apart piece by piece.
With a final crack, its sturdy legs gave way, no longer able to support the heavy body, which collapsed entirely, creating a thunderous crash as countless dry fragments shattered into rolling clouds of dust.
Chen Chuan witnessed its complete downfall and, with a swift movement, raised his sword, straightening his posture. At that moment, the sea mist, stirred by the air currents generated during the clash, began to disperse, and the gray debris, caught by the wind, swirled around him like snowflakes.
From a distance, Xu Chan and the others, sensing the unusual situation earlier, had already retreated to the outskirts but remained within the area.
In the book, there is a chapter that is not to be missed.
Their chests rose and fell slightly as they stood at a distance, witnessing this awe-inspiring scene and the figure standing there, sword in hand.
They knew someone would deliver the decisive blow, but never expected it to be executed in such a manner.
To be honest, they had almost believed the operation had failed moments ago.
After a brief pause, Xu Chan regained his composure. He gazed at the shattered remains of the skyscraper and at Chen Chuan, recalling the awe-inspiring strike that had just taken place. Slowly, he exclaimed, "Impressive!"
Inside the command center, everyone witnessed this scene, and after a long silence, a burst of excited cheers erupted.
The tower's voice promptly sounded, "Active consciousness field entity detected, external unpredictable object intrusion detected. Confirmed elimination and expulsion. According to feedback from various departments... Horizon Operation, completed."
This announcement triggered an even louder cheer. Liang, the specialist standing on the second floor, also revealed a relieved expression, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
However, he quickly regained his composure, speaking in a stern voice, "The Spider Queen Split is not over yet. Everyone, stay alert."
His words carried no harshness.
The crowd responded in unison, their faces still beaming with uncontrollable joy.
This time, they had eliminated both the active consciousness entity of the Skywheel Company and that other existence. Although the Spider Queen Split continued, what greater threat could there be within after dealing with these two?
After issuing a reminder, Liang did not continue speaking. He thought for a moment and instructed his female assistant, "Dispatch a medical team to check on Old Xu and Captain Chen. Ensure they are unharmed."
As long as the Third Limitation Fighter was alive, their injuries would gradually heal. However, having come into close contact with that entity, it was hard to rule out any hidden dangers, so a thorough examination was necessary.
He paused, then added, "Tell them to take care. They are the pillars of our success. After this matter concludes, I will personally award them for their outstanding service."
