Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1304 A New Opportunity Arises from the Brink

When Master Chonghua saw Elose step forward and Ranming retreat to communicate with the Heavenly Secrets Disc, he immediately knew that this game was probably going to be difficult to continue.

If Ilosser had arrived even a little slower, he could have turned the whole situation around.

But Iloser was very good at seizing opportunities. This person had actually arrived a long time ago and could have joined the attack on him with Ranming, but he just didn't move and only came up at this crucial moment.

Given his current state, even if he could tactically suppress his opponent, he couldn't possibly achieve a quick victory in a short time. In other words, he was powerless to stop Ranming's communication with the Heavenly Secrets Disc.

Left with no other choice, he had to make another plan. At that moment, when Iroser swung his scepter, a bright light shone down. In the blink of an eye, the light invaded his divine form, and even the surrounding spiritual fire could not stop it.

Master Chonghua immediately realized that this was a superior technique for using divine forms, and that the opponent's scepter must also have an enhancing effect.

With his profound understanding of the divine form, he quickly grasped the possible implications. This method of attack targets gaps; as long as his own condition is not perfect and he has any weaknesses, it can definitely invade his body.

Moreover, this light also carries a strong sense of impurity. If it is not dispelled, it can gradually erode his divine aura and transform it into something similar.

But he wasn't worried. Precisely because these things are highly invasive, their nature won't erupt all at once, but rather be a relatively slow process.

From this, he could see that although the Pope of the New Light Church had a very good grasp of timing and was quite strong, he was actually a conservative person in battle.

And it was precisely because of this performance that he immediately realized that he might not have completely lost his chance in the current situation.

While his thoughts were racing, it didn't hinder his actions. The moment the light shone down, he once again used the "Divine Sky Rainbow Crossing" technique, transforming into divine light and flying away, his target pointing directly at the crack above the main hall.

At the same time, he also used his mind to send a message to Gao Xu and Long Xian.

His judgment was very accurate. Although Iloser knew he should try to stop him, he had just witnessed the battle between Chonghua and Ranming and knew that the True Person of the Heavenly Mystery Sect was exceptionally powerful and had many tricks up their sleeve. If he was not careful, he might fall into their trap.

Furthermore, fearing that pushing too hard might lead to a desperate fight, he chose to remain stationary, instead waving his scepter to release a burst of shimmering light in an attempt to stop Chonghua.

This time, Master Chonghua was extremely decisive. He didn't plan any way to avoid it and went all in, rushing into the rift. If Iloser had seized the opportunity to stop him, he would have had no choice but to confront him head-on, and the result would likely have been defeat.

But he was certain that the other party wouldn't do that. The difference in their will and thinking meant that the light posed no obstacle to him at all, and he rushed into the rift in a flash.

After instantly falling to the other side of the world, he spun around and landed. All around him were twinkling lights, and there were long scrolls of scriptures written in gold and Xuanjiao magic weapons hanging everywhere.

There are also secret rituals set up by the Heavenly Secrets Sect here. If anyone rushes in, he can immediately use them to counterattack.

Besides these, there is another situation that neither Ranming nor the other two know.

He looked up and saw a gleaming mirror surrounded by gold ornaments with cloud and thunder patterns hanging above.

This is the Heavenly Secrets Sect's Universal Realm. It is only through the light emitted from this thing that the connection between the two worlds can be maintained and stabilized for a long time.

This mirror also contains a wisp of power, which can be released in the event of a crisis.

He took a deep breath, and the deficiencies in his body quickly recovered. However, the stains of the new light seemed to be unable to be expelled for the time being, but they wouldn't cause too much trouble now, so he didn't need to worry about them for the time being.

Once he regained his composure, he immediately tried to communicate with the power hidden in the mirror.

Inside the main hall, Master Ranming focused on communicating with the Heavenly Secrets Disc. As a master of the Heavenly Secrets Sect, it was not difficult for him to do this without interference from others, and he instantly took control of the entire secret ritual.

Using this, he drew his spirit upward and once again connected with the image of the Heavenly Monarch. The light and mist around his body reappeared, and in just an instant, the image of the Heavenly Monarch was already standing there. However, he did not transform into a figure hundreds of meters tall, but remained like an ordinary person, yet the power he wielded was no different.

On the platforms on both sides of the main hall, Master Longxian finally couldn't hold on any longer and, under the combined attack of Igor and the other, he exploded into clusters of golden light and pure energy.

Following closely behind, Gao Xu Zhenren followed in his footsteps, but fortunately, the two of them received a spiritual connection from Chonghua, which allowed them to dissipate their divine energy without having to block it directly.

With so many enemies around, it was almost impossible for them to regain their divine form; the enemy would not give them that chance. However, they trusted Chonghua's arrangements, so they did so without hesitation.

Upon arriving here, everything seemed to be developing in the direction that Ranming and the others had hoped for. The resistance from the sect had been completely eliminated. But at this moment, a burst of light suddenly erupted from the rift above, and a beam of light hot enough to melt everything shot out from within, heading straight for Ranming Zhenren.

Because the light arrived so quickly, he had nowhere to hide. The force of the light caused his newly restored divine form to collapse instantly.

He regained his Heavenly Monarch powers in just a breath or two before being instantly reduced to his original form! Ran Ming, though shocked by this attack, remained calm. Even if he were to crumble, he had only lost one move; he could simply try again later. He didn't believe Chong Hua could succeed every time…

wrong!

Thinking this, he suddenly realized that Chonghua's purpose was definitely not to shatter his divine form, but rather... He immediately radiated his spirit outward, conveying a thought to everyone:
"Stop him now!"

At that very moment, the talismans affixed inside the hall suddenly began to flicker, transforming into streaks of golden light. This was the Golden Light Ritual; once the power of the Universal Realm descended, it could directly reflect and transmit the remaining power within the hall.

The Throne Fighters who had entered the hall sensed danger. They were always wary of the various rituals and arrangements of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, and they had witnessed Ran Ming's fate. So, upon seeing this situation, they immediately withdrew from the hall.

As they retreated, Master Chonghua returned to the main hall. He glanced at Ranming, who was trying to gather and restore his divine form; the scattered golden light had not harmed him.

Without his guidance, the power within the Pufang Mirror would not affect the members of the Tianji Sect, just as Gao Xu and Long Xian were not harmed by the light.

He has now recovered at least most of his strength. As long as he can quickly drive away the python, and give him a little time, he can regain control of the Heavenly Secrets Disc.

But as he was thinking this, a sense of danger suddenly arose in his heart. Suddenly, a series of spiritual shocks shot into him from the opposite side. This was the work of those Throne Fighters who had just retreated.

As he turned his divine form outward, he dodged all the spiritual impacts and simultaneously manifested more than a dozen selves, surrounding the newly recovered Ranming.

However, while he was able to dodge these attacks, Gao Xu and Long Xian's scattered divine energy could not escape them and was largely wiped out. Fortunately, at this level, even if only a trace of divine energy remained, they could recover it given enough time, so their lives were not in danger.

Ran Ming looked at Chong Hua, who appeared in all directions, as if facing a formidable enemy. He dared not be distracted to communicate with the divine energy. Fortunately, as long as he was still here, Chong Hua could not bypass him and take back control of the Heavenly Secrets Disc.

At this moment, several of the Chonghua True Persons rushed towards him, while the rest remained motionless above.

Ranming Zhenren was unsure of what he was planning to do, but he would never give up his position. If Chonghua forced him to retreat while communicating with the Heavenly Secrets Disc, it would probably only take a moment. Therefore, he dared not be careless in the face of any Chonghua present. So at this moment, he also divided his divine form into a number corresponding to the number of people opposite him.

But as soon as he made that step, he knew it was wrong and that he had made a mistake.

At this moment, a flash appeared between the brows of each of Chonghua's divine avatars, and a spiritual shock was released from there simultaneously.

At this moment, Ran Ming also demonstrated his remarkable foundation as a True Person of the Heavenly Mystery Sect. Knowing that he could not resist, he suddenly created more divine incarnations.

But when he changed, Chonghua also underwent a corresponding change. For every additional divine form he created, Chonghua created one more.

Because the differentiation was too rapid, it seemed as if two more people and dozens of figures appeared in the hall in an instant. Chonghua was even better, as each of his incarnations released a spiritual impact on him.

Then, in a flash of light, all the divine figures that Ranming had in this place were instantly killed. It was only because he still had a wisp of divine energy residing in Chongtian that he was killed on the spot by Chonghua.

If Chonghua's previous victory was a triumph of skill, then this one was purely a matter of overwhelming force.

After Chonghua Zhenren expelled the python, he should have been manipulating the Heavenly Secrets Disc, but he sighed inwardly and did not continue.

Because he realized that Durant and his two companions had already arrived in front of him, and their mental power had fallen on him, he had no chance to do anything.

The opposing team outnumbered him and had an absolute advantage; no matter how strong he was individually, there was nothing he could do.

Even so, he did not give up. He raised his finger to make a hand seal and chanted the name of the Heavenly Mysterious Ancestor.

He performed a technique to transfer divine secrets by permanently sacrificing a portion of his own divine power.

The Tianji Sect believes that everything has a chance of change. As long as one can find this chance and act accordingly, one may be able to turn the tide and overcome this calamity.

As the secret technique was activated, all sorts of complex heavenly secrets flowed through his mind, and in that instant, he seemed to have grasped something, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
