Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1321 The Evil Light is Completely Eradicated

When Elose saw Chen Chuan standing in front of her with a knife, her golden eyes behind the tattered mask snapped open.

He originally wanted to try to run out of a certain area so that Chen Chuan might not have time to deal with him for the time being, but he didn't expect them to come so quickly. It seems that the others have been dealt with?

He stopped.

It seems impossible for me to leave.

If he could, he would prefer to dissolve his Divine Transformation form first. However, he had just observed that the Xuan Kong Fire would burn the spirit along with the body, and did not actually need to come into contact with flesh and blood.

The reason Chen Chuan released the Xuan Kong Fire only after he had blown the opponent to pieces was probably to ensure that the opponent had no way to resist, thereby maximizing the battle results.

If he were to dissipate his body on his own initiative, a wisp of his spirit would remain. If Chen Chuan were to notice this and attack him first, it would backfire. Therefore, he had no choice but to retreat completely.

He stared at Chen Chuan, gripping the scepter tightly, his body radiating a dazzling spiritual light.

If we only compare the combat capabilities of the two sides, in theory he has no chance of winning in a head-on battle; the entire fight might not even last a few seconds.

There is more than one way to fight. He has some methods that his opponents are unaware of. If he uses them tactically, he may still have a chance.

Knowing he couldn't avoid it, he swung his scepter and faced it head-on. Intentionally or unintentionally, the rift of the New Light Church was located right behind him.

Chen Chuan's eyes flickered slightly when he saw his actions.

From the moment Irosser stopped upon seeing him to the moment she launched her attack, she didn't hesitate much, charging forward even though she knew she was outmatched. This might be reasonable if it were Drakholm, but it's completely inconsistent with Irosser's behavior in the previous battle.

During the time Elother was on the run, she must have thought that he would catch up, and she wouldn't have been unprepared during that time, so what is she relying on for this choice now?
His mind raced, but his hands didn't slow down at all. The moment Iloth charged at him, he turned and swept his longsword in a simple horizontal motion.

The blade first made contact with the scepter, instantly extinguishing the spiritual fire contained within it. Then, it was blasted away by an unparalleled force, the blade still carrying momentum, striking Iloth's body. It was a head-on collision without any suspense.

Elose had tried to concentrate all his spiritual fire in front of him to defend himself, but it turned out to be futile. His body was instantly shattered into scattered flesh and blood by the powerful force of the blade.

Within this flesh and blood, scattered points of light flew out, representing his scattered divine energy, seemingly intending to escape from here.

However, in that instant, a radiant light like the sun burst forth, and the wisps of divine energy that were scattering outwards all slowed down.

Amidst that burst of light, Chen Chuan raised his eyes, turned slightly, and then swung his sword outwards!
A mysterious flame shot outwards, sprinkling onto the fleeing divine energy, which immediately burst into flames upon contact.

However, among these things, there was a wisp of divine energy that was extremely special. After being burned by the Xuan Kong Fire, it seemed to trigger something and instantly dissipated into a golden light, which shot towards Chen Chuan and landed on his body in the blink of an eye.

Ilosser, with his remaining divine aura, witnessed this scene and his spirits lifted.

Got it!
This item is a lost artifact collected by the New Light Church. As long as this item comes into contact with a target, and the target does not possess high-level power, it can make that target lose its resistance in an instant.

However, if this thing is used as a projectile, any fighter can block and dodge it. But if this thing is subjected to a near-destructive attack, it will actively counterattack before it is destroyed, and this counterattack is unstoppable.

This step is actually quite risky. He needs to use this item himself when he is being burned by the Xuan Kong Fire in order to eliminate Chen Chuan's guard as much as possible.

Fortunately, he had observed before that the burning of Xuan Kong Fire also has a process; the stronger the spiritual power, the longer it burns.

This is precisely where he has an advantage. By utilizing the unique rituals and methods of the New Light Church, every New Light Church member present today has a portion of his divine power possessed.

This means they have become one entity, and can all be considered him. As long as the spirits of those New Light Sect followers are not completely consumed by the Xuan Kong Fire, he will not truly perish.

As long as the lost object succeeds, Chen Chuan will instantly lose his ability to resist. He can then use the secret techniques of the New Light Sect to invade the latter's body, not only reversing the situation in one step, but also occupying a perfect vessel.

Chen Chuan watched as the light descended, then transformed into wisps of light that wrapped around his body.

At the same time, all the remaining divine energy suddenly converged in the center and then shot towards him.

At that moment, a copper clasp in his overcoat pocket suddenly flashed; it was the lost item that Fan Zhentong had given him.

This thing isn't anything particularly special; it just has the ability to weaken or eliminate the effects of other lost objects or even supernatural forces twice a year.

For a fighter specializing in human-type martial arts, this is the most useful item. When he encountered Hiroyuki before, he didn't use it because he knew there might be even more intense battles to come.

But now is the perfect time to put it to use.

In fact, he could use his second self to avoid such direct attacks. However, he wasn't sure of its specific function at first, so he chose to play it safe.

He stared intently at the incoming sword, twisted his waist, and unceremoniously brought back the sword he had just swung out.

A circular blade of light flashed from the front, and the spiritual fire on the blade instantly shattered this part of the divine energy!

The scattered divine energy fell into the surrounding Xuan Kong Fire and immediately burst into flames. At the same time, the senior members of the New Light Cult who had arrived with Iloser also spontaneously combusted without fire, turning into scattered charred remains within ten seconds.

Chen Chuan waited there for a while until the Xuan Kong Fire was completely burned out and he could no longer sense any trace of Iloser's aura before he withdrew his gaze.

Then, a flash of light appeared around him, and he appeared directly next to the rift opened by the Primal Cult.

As soon as he appeared, the members of the primitive sects standing beside the rift all fell down.

The propellers of the primitive sect's airships overhead stopped abruptly, then shook violently a few more times before starting to plummet one by one.

Chen Chuan walked straight to the rift, twirled the Snow Lord Blade in his hand, and swung it. With a flash of bright light, the rift was instantly closed.

At this moment, the surrounding airships crashed down around him, quickly turning into huge fireballs amidst the rumbling explosions, and then into thick black smoke that drifted into the sky.

After dealing with this place, Chen Chuan turned and left, quickly arriving near another rift of the New Light Sect. He then used the same method to resolve the rift there as well.

Many high-ranking members of the New Light Sect had already died due to the Xuan Kong Fire. The remaining people, even though they had lost consciousness, remained kneeling in place. But a short while later, as the New Light Sect's airships plummeted from the sky and crashed below, the flames of the explosions quickly engulfed the group.

After Chen Chuan finished doing all this, he glanced at the Tianji Fish beside him.

This thing had been by his side ever since he achieved the Cave Profound Realm. At this moment, it trailed a wisp of golden light and spun rapidly around him, seemingly very happy.

He looked up again at the figure in the sky.

Ranming's clone stood there, but he did not participate in the attack from beginning to end.

Chen Chuan was testing his own strength through these people, and he was also observing and looking for Chen Chuan's weaknesses, but the result disappointed him.

At least from his current perspective, Chen Chuan has no weaknesses whatsoever. In other words, his actions would only result in his own death.

Chen Chuan looked at him and said calmly, "Speaking of which, I should thank you."

Without the constraints imposed by the secret rituals set up by Ranming, his breakthrough this time would probably not have been so swift and successful.

The avatar of the Serpent looked at him with a cold smile on its face. In the next moment, he was slashed apart by a long sword that appeared in the air. The scattered divine energy was instantly extinguished by the spiritual light and fire on the sword.

Throughout the process, he did not resist at all, seemingly letting Chen Chuan do as he pleased.

Seeing his clone's divine energy dissipate, Chen Chuan looked up through the dusty sky and saw flashes of light near Tianji Peak, accompanied by rumbling sounds. It seemed that Durant and the Emperor were fighting.

It's time to address the next issue.

His body shimmered with light as he slowly rose and flew into the sky.

At this very moment, atop the colossal celestial beast, the observers were straining to peer down. However, the intense battle below had generated massive amounts of dust that had spread to the sky, and the billowing smoke and fire from the crashes of multiple airships had almost completely blocked out the sunlight, making it impossible for them to see the situation below clearly.

Moreover, they dared not get too close to the battlefield, so they could only see flashes of light that occasionally burst forth from under the smoke and dust.

In the operations command center, Cassian checked his watch; two minutes had passed, but there was still no communication from the other side.

He thought for a moment, then tried to contact the other side proactively, asking, "Gentlemen, how is the situation now?"

However, no message came through the channel, only a rustling echo.

He frowned, thinking that this might be caused by a chaotic field.

"It's almost three minutes..."

"Sir, look!" someone exclaimed.

Upon hearing the sound, Cassian looked up and gazed out through the wide porthole in front of the Sky Beast.

Because the airship descended to avoid the aerial battle between Durant and Capa, the sunlight was slightly dimmed and visibility was low due to the thick smoke and ash.

Where the billowing black smoke and bright light intertwined, a figure hovered there, his high-necked robe fluttering with the air currents, holding a long sword shrouded in mist, and a long red scarf swirling around him, flying in the wind.
