Chapter 965: Purifying Light Dispels Impurities
Chapter 965: Purifying Light Dispels Impurities
As the helmet and faceplate fell away, the face beneath it was revealed, and Chen Chuan couldn't help but notice that it wasn't a normal human face. Instead, it was covered in dense, tangled strands of flesh-like tendrils, with two eyes filled with bloodshot veins staring intently at him.
The slash that had cut into the skull severed many of these tendrils, but they writhed and struggled, attempting to reattach themselves. Some had already bypassed the blade and reconnected, and each tendril now flickered with a faint spiritual flame, constantly merging and dissipating with the spiritual radiance on the blade—the source of the resistance he had felt earlier.
Suddenly, a series of 'bang bang bang' sounds echoed as the binding ropes restraining Yuwen Yuanqi snapped under the strain. Xu Mutang had already exhausted most of his strength, and he could only maintain the ropes for a little while longer.
Chen Chuan felt this was enough. If he couldn't seize this opportunity, he might as well give up on defeating this opponent.
Gazing at the blade enveloped in tendrils, slowly being engulfed, he had no intention of withdrawing it. Instead, he focused intently on the blade, and in an instant, a dazzling ray of light burst forth from the blade, flashing within the enemy's mind!
The Grand Radiant Light Technique!
With a thunderous boom, the light ignited like dry tinder, and Yuwen Yuanqi, who had shown little reaction to the initial head strike, now let out a piercing wail.
This wasn't a sound from his mouth; it seemed as if all the tendrils that made up his body were screaming. The sound wasn't just physical; it also had a mental aspect, forming a wave of energy that nearly materialized, causing even the spiritual flame on Chen Chuan's body to flicker and threaten to extinguish.
Far away, Xu Mutang, who had already expended most of his strength, was nearly rendered unconscious by this impact.
Amidst his agonized screams, Yuwen Yuanqi abandoned his long hammer and grabbed the Snow Lord Saber with both hands. The spiritual flame on his body blazed like a raging fire, transforming into a torrent of radiant light that surged along his arms toward the blade, gradually lifting it. It seemed he was trying to expel it from his body.
Feeling the power in his arms, Chen Chuan tightened his grip on the hilt, and in that moment, a flash of light seemed to pass through his eyes. His body and the spirit form above him simultaneously radiated light, bathing the entire mountain peak in this dazzling brilliance.
The light not only caused Yuwen Yuanqi to emit an even more agonized scream but also affected the golden armored general above, causing his figure to flicker and become translucent.
Taking advantage of this, Chen Chuan's spirit form swung its long spear, and the golden armored general barely managed to block with his raised long hammer. At that moment, a long saber appeared in Chen Chuan's other hand, and he slashed at the general's waist and ribs.
The golden armored general staggered, and his armor erupted with golden flames. The spirit form pressed its advantage, and the long saber continued to strike at the exposed area, shattering the spiritual flame there. The general hastily raised his long hammer to block, but the long spear in Chen Chuan's other hand seized the opportunity and stabbed at the general's face, striking his forehead. With a mighty heave, Chen Chuan pushed the general's body backward, and as the general lost his balance, Chen Chuan used the saber and spear to pin the hammer and force it outward, separating it from the general. Then, with a powerful downward smash, Chen Chuan struck the general's chest and face.
The impact sent the golden armored general staggering, and his spiritual flame, already weakened, shattered into countless fragments, while the golden armor on his body shattered into pieces.
Chen Chuan's spirit form then tossed the long saber upward, flipped his elbow to grasp the saber hilt, and dashed forward. With a downward slash, he pierced the golden armored general's clavicle, and the blade instantly penetrated his body, the tip emerging from his lower back. Without pausing to withdraw the saber, Chen Chuan gripped the long spear with both hands and swung it high, bringing it down with a mighty crash onto the general's head.
The impact reverberated through the air as the general's head, already bereft of most of its protective spiritual flame, exploded. His massive body flickered and wobbled before collapsing into countless wisps of energy that scattered in all directions.
The golden armored general's demise had a significant impact on his physical body, and Yuwen Yuanqi's golden aura flickered unsteadily like a candle in the wind.
Chen Chuan felt the resistance on the blade lessen, and with this shift in power dynamics, he leaned forward, using the blade to pin Yuwen Yuanqi down.
Without the golden armored general's interference, Chen Chuan's spirit form once again raised the massive long spear and brought it down upon Yuwen Yuanqi's head. The impact was so powerful that Yuwen Yuanqi fell to his knees, creating a shallow pit and a cloud of dust.
Amidst the intense battle, Yuwen Yuanqi's spiritual radiance emanated with exceptional vigor, and most of it converged at the upper end, creating a formidable force. Despite this, the giant figure remained unwavering, with no sign of dissipation.
The relentless attacks continued, and the spiritual form, now unblocked, unleashed its full power. The massive sword and spear took turns descending, relentlessly pounding the opponent.
Yuwen Yuanqi began to struggle under the onslaught, as the Grand Radiant Light Technique within disrupted his concentration. The spiritual flame he had gathered required constant replenishment to fill the gaps created by the dissolving light, making him vulnerable to both internal and external attacks.
The relentless strikes eventually tore open a small breach, and the long spear mercilessly smashed into that spot.
Unsurprisingly, Yuwen Yuanqi's entire head was instantly crushed, his flesh and blood splattering everywhere. The Snow Lord Saber, driven by the impact of the long spear, pierced his chest. Even at this critical moment, his hands remained tightly clenched around the saber's hilt, refusing to fall. The spiritual flame on his body continued to surge, attempting to seal the breach and resist the powerful blows from above.
Chen Chuan noticed that the opponent's entire body seemed to be composed of flesh tendrils, varying only in thickness and length. This made it impossible to distinguish between the head and other limbs, eliminating any weak points.
Wherever the armor existed, it effectively blocked the impact of the Grand Radiant Light Technique, like a giant hammer striking a hard shell. While it was effective, it was challenging to cause fatal damage in a short time.
Realizing this, Chen Chuan quickly adjusted his strategy. He stepped back, dragging the Snow Lord Saber with him, causing Yuwen Yuanqi, who was still gripping the saber, to lose balance and fall forward, landing on the slightly slanted wall of the pit.
Just then, the long spear struck, driving Yuwen Yuanqi's body into the shattered ground below. His spiritual light scattered and fluttered in all directions.
Chen Chuan firmly grasped the hilt of his sword, sheathing it at his waist. He adjusted the tip slightly, aiming at the gaping wound on Yuwen Yuanqi's head. With a powerful stride, he lunged forward and thrust the sword!
"Ssss..."
The sword pierced deep into Yuwen Yuanqi's neck, and at that moment, he let out a low growl. The white-gold flame surged, triggering the Grand Heavenly Void Technique and the Grand Radiant Light Technique on the Snow Lord Saber, causing a mighty explosion.
Yuwen Yuanqi's entire body erupted with agonizing shrieks as the internal blast of light and force fields caused his flesh to swell like an inflated balloon. Cracks appeared on his armor, and strands of golden light seeped out from within.
At that instant, a thin veil of luminous mist emerged from the body, swirling and quickly flying away. It broke through a cloud of dust and headed towards a hall on the other side, where it settled into a lacquer box on a long table.
With the departure of that entity, Yuwen Yuanqi's spiritual flame suddenly vanished, leaving him defenseless against the internal force. With a loud bang, his entire body exploded into countless pieces of flesh and blood.
The armor, however, proved its durability, remaining somewhat intact despite the impact. Without the body's support, the armor's components scattered and fell to the ground.
This was the end of Chapter 1619.
Surprisingly, the shattered flesh tendrils still twitched, attempting to recombine. However, under the illumination of the Grand Radiant Light Technique, they appeared powerless, writhing for a while before turning charred and eventually turning into a pile of blackened ashes.
Chen Chuan slowly retrieved his sword from the armor, the blade emitting a sizzling sound as it rubbed against the metal. After withdrawing the sword, he stood up, brushing his hand along the blade to adjust his breath.
After a moment, he glanced at the ashes on the ground, speculating that Yuwen Yuanqi's cultivation realm was likely one level higher than Changshengguan, explaining his ability to generate such abundant and inexhaustible spiritual flame from his body.
However, without sufficient spiritual power, it was impossible to fully unleash the latent power within. It was akin to lacking the muscle strength to lift a heavy object—even a slight movement was an achievement.
Even the strongest flesh, without the protection of spiritual flame, was just loose tissue, like an unguarded fortress with minimal defensive capabilities.
The battle seemed far from over. Chen Chuan glanced at the hall, waved his hand, and gathered the long hammer and armor to the side before striding towards the hall.
