Chapter 1299 Shattering the Void and Splitting the Golden Form

On the airship, the fighters from both sects stepped forward, spreading their spiritual power and domains outward to counter the surrounding mystical domains.

The Secret Realm's strength lies in its overall power, but it is impossible to fight against fighters in a localized area, so it was quickly cleared out by them, creating a "white space".

Taking this opportunity, the believers on the airship took out canisters of esoteric materials and poured them onto the ground.

Some of them drifted away with the airflow, but they did not disappear. Instead, they were bound by an invisible force, surrounding and existing within a certain height and range.

This is used to reinforce and shield the surrounding area, creating space for them to set up.

With the help of the ritual objects on the ground and the chanting of the believers on both sides, a new field quickly began to generate a certain field power under the influence of the ritual and materials.

Although the rituals of the Shining Light Church and the Primitive Church differ in detail, they are generally similar. However, the upper and middle-level members of both sects did not expect the rituals to be responded to so quickly, which indicates that this place is very suitable for setting up secret rituals and holding religious activities.

Many of the sect's high-ranking members looked around. They had never imagined that such a suitable place for esoteric Buddhism existed in the Federation. This was likely because the Heavenly Secrets Sect had chosen this location to establish its sect, or perhaps it was due to the sect's generations of efforts to refine and regulate the environment.

The thought that this place might very well belong to them in the future, or at least that they could enjoy a portion of it, filled them with fervent desire.

This was a promise made by the Federation to ensure their full commitment: if they overthrew the Heavenly Secrets Sect, they could be given a piece of land on Weishu Continent and allowed to preach there.

Therefore, they have considerable motivation to eliminate the Heavenly Secrets Sect.

As time passed, amidst the continuous chanting, the amount of ritual materials poured out from the airship gradually increased, slowly outlining traces in the air.

The distribution of the airships by both religions was carefully planned, with the airships and the ritual objects below serving as nodes. Furthermore, the location they chose was precisely the site of their former stronghold, the area where the energy field was most concentrated and densely distributed.

After a long time, a crack that was shimmering with light gradually appeared in the middle, indicating that they were opening the rift.

Only when the rift appears can they, from the fighters to every member of the cult, unleash their full power and more easily counteract the suppression of the Heavenly Secrets Cult's secret rituals.

In the past, the Federation would at least outwardly forbid opening the rift, but this time they have been authorized by the Federation to do so openly.

The cracks began to expand gradually under their ritual, but when they reached only the size of a fist, they seemed to be suppressed by a force and could not continue to expand. No matter how much ritual material they sprinkled down, it had no effect.

What troubles them even more is that if they stop, the newly opened rift could close at any moment.

The leaders of both sects realized something was wrong and immediately reported it to Elose and Morton respectively. After discussing it, they guessed that the reason why things went so smoothly at the beginning was probably because the Heavenly Secrets Sect deliberately left a gap in order to consume their ritual materials.

After discussing the matter, both sides realized that things had reached a point where it was impossible to stop, and that others were waiting for them, so they had no choice but to use their trump cards in advance.

On the coastline of Wanacopa, Guangyong and Chen Chuan stood facing each other.

Chen Chuan could sense that the outer "thoroughness" was shrinking inward, which was not something that could be accurately perceived by the field. So he made the prism fly around outside, so that he could clearly feel the change.

He had just tested it out, and neither spiritual attacks nor other methods were effective against Guang Yong, who was standing there; the opponent seemed to be just a phantom. So now he was in a situation where he couldn't move and his attacks were useless.

However, he remained calm because he wasn't truly out of options.

Although this place is separated from Weishu Continent by another continent, he has already clearly sensed the unique characteristics around the crack.

Based on previous information, Master Lu actually guided the flaws in the World Ring to the vicinity of Weishu Continent, thereby attracting the demons from the other side, and then eliminating or driving them away.

This also means that as long as the rift on the Tianji Sect's side remains open, that is the weakest point in the entire world's ring. Therefore, with his spiritual power, even before he has arrived there, he can clearly sense these things.

Therefore, he could simply use the Flying Dragon Fist to tear open the rift, try to escape into it, and then escape through another rift. Even if he couldn't do that, he could use the Snow Lord Blade to cleave the rift and reach the other side.

However, he didn't want to reveal the Snow Lord Blade's abilities unless absolutely necessary, so it was best to rely on himself. Besides, even if he broke through the supernatural force, as long as the opponent was still alive, they could still come and pursue him, and in the end, they would still have to fight.

The best approach would be to eliminate this fighting force once and for all, right here and now. He would then need to find a suitable opportunity, given his own experience of the Throne Fighter's remarkable survivability.

He stared intently at Guang Yong, who stood with his hands clasped together. The prismatic objects flashed around him, but the distance they traveled was getting shorter and shorter, indicating that the area of ​​the thoroughfare was shrinking. Yet, Guang Yong stood there as well, seemingly waiting for something. Guang Yong lowered his eyes and remained motionless. He knew Chen Chuan would never give up and probably had a way to deal with it. However, Chen Chuan's methods were practically an open secret; he clearly told you what he would do, even the order in which. No matter what the opponent chose, whether they could break through or not, he wouldn't change his mind.

Time passed gradually, and the distance between them grew smaller and smaller until it was almost touching them. At this moment, Guang Yong moved first, raising his palm and thrusting it towards Chen Chuan!
This palm strike seemed to be the same as the previous one, but instead of a giant palm pushing forward, it was a spiritual shockwave that flashed on the fingers!
Because of his profound understanding, Chen Chuan couldn't dodge at all. But he did something unexpected. Facing the spiritual attack, he leaped forward and released a spiritual fire as well, forcefully pushing the spiritual fire forward.

The platinum-gold light stream tore through the brilliance of the gold and bronze almost instantly, arriving in front of Guangyong in a flash.

He stared at the man's expressionless face, his mutated tissues swirling, and with a crash, a rift appeared.

Because they were so close together, the rift opened directly outside Guang Yong's body.

Guang Yong looked surprised, because he was now standing inside the crevice, and he could not possibly say that he was still standing in the same place.

He could say that he hadn't moved, but Chen Chuan was outside the rift and inside his rift, the two worlds were separated, how could he not move?
Therefore, in that instant, the strange force was shattered.

Chen Chuan didn't care about all that. He was just trying it out. If it didn't work, he would use other means. Now he was spared from doing anything unnecessary. Facing his opponent who was right in front of him, he used the momentum of his charge to throw a punch down.

A large, illusory image of a giant fist appeared around the fist. Although he could not merge the spiritual form like Xiang Boqing, he referenced some changes in the Non-Body Flow and his own understanding, and fused the locally manifested spiritual form with the physical attack, forming a unified force in a certain sense.

With a loud bang, the punch struck Guang Yong's enormous outer form directly, shattering the golden-bronze spiritual fire on it. The massive impact caused the spiritual form to shake violently, and cracks immediately appeared on its surface.

Before Guang could even use his shield, Chen Chuan's follow-up punches came flying, and the speed was so fast that the enormous body couldn't react at all. In that instant, the huge spiritual image was actually thrown into the air and floated up.

In an instant, the entire spirit form of the Venerable Mani collapsed, but from the golden-bronze fragments, a spirit form that looked like an ordinary person emerged, and eight arms suddenly spread out, constantly resisting and blocking the fists coming from the opposite side.

Even so, he still couldn't keep up with Chen Chuan's punching speed, whose fists, like a storm, kept bombarding him.

The human form lacks the extraordinary powers and solid body of the other forms, and it also lacks the myriad incarnations and nameless methods of the divine form. What the human form possesses is the purest power and speed.

At this moment, Chen Chuan used the realm and techniques of the Longevity Sect, yet he managed to unleash an explosive power rarely seen even by the Dongxuan Sect.

In this storm-like attack, Monezun's arms shattered and pieces of his body tore apart, then were ripped apart by the force of his fists and scattered everywhere, leaving behind a trail of golden-bronze dust.

Chen Chuan launched Guang Yong over a hundred kilometers away in one go, unleashing countless attacks in the process.

With a final boom, he stomped his foot on the ground and swung his fist upwards with all his might.

The earth's surface rippled and shook violently like waves, revealing fragmented and warped tectonic plates. As the tremors continued, countless grains of sand and dust floated upwards.

The image of the Venerable Mani, which was widely used, was lifted up by an invisible force and floated into the sky along with the dust and stones. Dense cracks appeared on his body. When he reached the top, he finally collapsed into golden dust with a loud bang!
Chen Chuan maintained his upward punching posture, and the falling gold dust was instantly extinguished upon contact with the white-gold flames emanating from his body.

In his fierce attack, he not only blasted his opponent into pieces, but also repeatedly bombarded every broken piece until it was completely shattered, leaving no stone unturned, not even the smallest part untouched.

At this moment, Guang barely managed to condense half of the broken face with a sliver of his spirit. He sighed, "It seems that the benevolent master is indeed destined by heaven. I... cannot... keep... the benevolent master..."

With each word he uttered, his spirit vanished with a wisp of golden dust in the wind, until the last word was spoken, at which point it completely dissipated into the air.

Chen Chuan slowly withdrew his fist, which was still radiating light, while his body was still surrounded by a layer of scorching platinum radiance.

Looking at the swirling gold dust before him, he knew that Guang Yong likely still had a part of his body inside Xiaojue Temple, and that it would be impossible to kill him completely without using the Xuan Kong Fire.

Using it now carries a risk of being exposed, which could be detrimental to the battles in the rear.

It doesn't matter anymore. The battle has reached a point where Guang Yong is already out of the game, eliminating one of our key fighters. Next up is the Tianji Sect.
He took a deep breath, his body slowly rose up, looked towards the direction of Tianji Peak, and instantly transformed into a stream of light, flying towards that place.
