Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1302 Pushing the Lone Peak from Within and Without

Durant and his two companions flew into the sky, making no attempt to conceal themselves, which immediately attracted the attention of those present.

Iselo and the others were currently positioned to the south, their view mostly blocked by the main hall atop Tianji Peak, but they could still see the three figures rising to the top.

They now knew it was those three from the Federation who were behind it.

The other Throne Fighters present were not particularly surprised. In fact, they all knew that if their attack faltered, the Federation would not sit idly by.

So you could say they fought very hard in the battle just now, but none of them actually used their full strength, because not one of them even used their external appearance.

On a blimp far away from the main battlefield, Briggs also glanced up as if he had noticed something.

The colossal beast flew very high, appearing as a mere black dot in its eyes. At this moment, it could vaguely see three orbs of light flying upwards.

He said, "It seems the federal government is preparing to send reinforcements."

Upon hearing this, Lily followed his gaze, raised her camera, and snapped several photos of the sky.

Generally, due to the spiritual fire and aura of a fighter, such shots cannot be captured. However, this camera of hers was issued by the Fighters' Council and is itself a living entity with memory. As long as it is memorized on the spot, it can make a certain lost item appear when it returns.

Briggs then took two steps to the side, blocking the view from the airship beside him.

The federal government intervened directly, which was different from what they had said before. Although they could find an excuse afterward, it was obviously easier to get rid of what they had. It seems that he will have to find a way to get through this afterward.

Durant and his two companions maintained a steady pace, continuing upwards until the summit of Tianji Peak appeared to be only the size of a finger in their eyes, at which point they stopped.

Van Turner gently tossed the bright red sphere in his hand upwards, and at the same time, he lightly scratched its surface with his finger, causing the entire sphere to spin rapidly.

The thing resembled a burning flame, with tiny sparks scattering outwards.

Because of the skillful application of his force, the violent energy inside became very stable after it started spinning, and it floated in mid-air. However, the number of sparks emitted from it was astonishing, and in just a moment, the area they were in was dyed red.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of those below.

Master Chonghua could tell that those sounds were definitely not made by fighters, but most likely came from lost objects. Lost objects are very unpredictable, and some things cannot be measured by common sense.

Judging from its aura alone, it resembled a relic of a powerful offensive nature, and he could clearly sense a hint of unpredictable danger within it. This was a very clear indication of divine intervention, suggesting that this thing definitely had the potential to break through their current defenses.

He said solemnly, "My three junior brothers, be careful."

All three responded that they were right.

However, the head of the Taoist Ranming was lowered slightly.

Above the sky, the fireball spun faster and faster, and a large expanse of fiery-colored light clouds spread out.

Durant had been observing the situation closely. Seeing that the fireball was about to reach its peak power and fall as its force dissipated, he reached out and deflected it downwards in the direction of its rotation. This caused the fireball to roar, and then a huge fireball plummeted from the sky towards Tianji Peak.

At this moment, Crosal held the pebble between his fingers and flicked it at the flying fireball. It caught up with the fireball instantly, then crashed into it. The pebble bounced back and was caught by him.

However, after being struck, the sphere spun even more violently, as if it had expanded several times in size, and then transformed into a dazzling beam of light that shot down from the sky.

Because the four immortals of Chonghua need to guard the most central position of the main hall, they must remain as one with the main peak, so they are basically unable to move, and under normal circumstances, they do not need to do so.

However, in this way, they could only passively endure such a powerful attack.

They ignored the people outside who were attacking them and focused their attention on the sky. Just as the fire was about to fall overhead, their auras were pulled together, and the four of them combined their power into one. At the same time, they raised one hand and pressed it down.

boom!
The firelight seemed to hit an invisible barrier, blasting out a flat, arc-shaped light curtain. With the combined efforts of the four, they managed to withstand the impact. However, a slight ripple appeared in their divine images, and the entire hall and the mountain trembled slightly, causing the light above to flicker and sway.

However, the four fighters held their ground firmly, successfully blocking the powerful impact. The remaining Throne Fighters, who were responsible for holding off the enemy below, saw an opportunity and almost all of them rushed forward, launching an attack focused on Long Xian.

At this moment, Master Longxian was focused on dealing with the bombardment from above and could not pay attention to the outside. He could only let the spiritual light and fire that exploded on the outside bombard his divine image.

Although the attacks caused many parts of Shenxiang's body to explode into wisps of golden mist, he was quickly restored with the help of Miyi and the other three.

At this moment, the flames that had exploded above the main hall did not dissipate immediately, but instead rose into the sky as if they were alive.

Guided by the spirit of Van Turner, the strands returned to his hand and reassembled into a red sphere just like before.

As a defensive relic, this item can be used again after being used once, simply allowing it to recover for a period of time.

However, this time, they couldn't do that. They needed to unleash all of the thing's potential at once, otherwise they wouldn't be able to break through the four people's strong defenses.

If they manage to take down the Heavenly Secrets Sect, then sacrificing two Level 1 Lost Items would be worthwhile, because their final gains would definitely be much more than that.

After Van Turner spun around again, and waited until he reached his maximum spin point, Durant slapped him down once more. Krossar waited for the flames to fall, then once again flicked a pebble and struck it.

Just as Master Chonghua had driven away the swirling light around them, they saw the second attack coming, and they could sense that this time the power would be even greater than the last.

As expected, this time, the clear golden light emanating from the four people's bodies fluctuated under their cover, even emanating a slight rumbling sound from deep within the mountain. Even the defensive talismans within the Heavenly Mystery Hall began to glow. The forces of defense and offense within the palace were locked in a struggle for some time.

The other Throne Fighters were not about to let this opportunity slip by. However, at this moment, the four of them sent a portion of their power to Long Xian. With a wave of his sleeve, it was as if an endless raging wave was sweeping across the sky. Everyone was propelled outward by a force, and then a roaring sound erupted in the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, in the sky, Durant coldly looked down and said, "Continue."

The fireball in Van Turner's hand regrouped. This method of collecting and attacking lost objects was not so lucky, especially level one lost objects. If they were of the destructive type, their power was not only no weaker than theirs, but the energy they contained also caused him great damage.

The key is that each strike must be delivered while maintaining proper control of internal forces; any misstep will backfire. Therefore, the three of them divided the work and focused solely on their respective steps.

This time, the procedure was performed as before, and the process went very smoothly. As Crosal's pebble struck the crimson sphere, the two lost objects each released their last bit of power.

A series of suffocating sounds echoed in the sky, and a streak of fire shot diagonally toward Tianji Peak.

The impact was extremely powerful, forming a visible red cone, as if the fiery red curtain of the atmosphere had been torn down along with it.
This was almost a scene of natural disaster, and even the few Throne Fighters who were participating in the attack felt it. They all retreated to both sides, fearing that they would be affected by this attack.

The four members of Chonghua were solemn. It was clear that this was the most powerful attack they had ever encountered, so they had to go all out. They were highly focused and mobilized the secret power within Tianji Mountain.

After witnessing the flames magnified to the point of obscuring the sky above, they were drawn together by their shared spirit and simultaneously reached out, pushing the spiritual fire within their bodies upwards!
Just as the two forces were about to collide, Master Ranming's eyes flashed, and he actually withdrew his hand, pulling back the power he was about to release.

The four of them were originally a whole, and the secret ritual required the cooperation of all four to operate smoothly. With his retreat, the power of their connection to the heavenly secrets was broken. It can be seen that the light screen, which was originally formed by the complete spiritual light, was missing a corner in an instant, and other parts were also affected and showed signs of instability.

At the same moment that Master Ranming withdrew his power, Master Chonghua, who was sitting in the hall, sensed it and immediately transformed into a beam of divine light and flew away. He used his divine form to transform into a spiritual flame, filling the gap and making the power of the four directions reconnect.

With a deafening roar, the fiery meteor finally struck, and a massive burst of fire erupted across the entire sky above Tianji Peak, almost dimming the sun overhead for a moment.

The spiritual light barrier formed by Chonghua Zhenren and others shattered immediately. Although it blocked most of the power, the remaining power still impacted their mountain peak.

The entire hall shook violently, and the three True Immortals' divine forms collapsed in an instant, with golden mist and clear light swirling around them.

Because the secret ritual array was subjected to a strong impact, even the True Man Ranming himself could not stabilize his divine form. However, since he did not participate in blocking the attack of the lost object, he was undoubtedly in the best condition at this moment.

His still-uncompletely collapsed divine appearance turned around, and his huge palm grabbed at the Heavenly Mystery Fish swimming in the Heavenly Mystery Hall!
