Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1324 Pure Enemy Different

Chen Chuan could clearly see the trajectory of Durant's approach. He stood still, and the spirit image outside him raised its arm to block, accurately blocking the path of the incoming fist.

Despite the collision between the two sides, the highly concentrated spiritual fire on Lingxiang's arm did not waver at all.

Durant's first attack failed, so he immediately withdrew his fist and turned to attack other parts of his body, throwing hundreds of punches in an instant.

However, every attack he made was blocked by Chen Chuan, who was also taking advantage of the opportunity to adapt to and familiarize himself with his current state.

The addition of two more spiritual arms not only made his blocking more relaxed, but also gave him more tactical options.

Moreover, because the spiritual form can change back and forth between the real and the virtual, it will not hinder him at all.

Through these attacks, he could directly sense the opponent's power. Among the several Throne Fighters he had faced before, his strength was indeed unmatched.

Whether it was Crosal, Dracoholm, or Xiang Boqing, even when they were in a superimposed state, they probably couldn't withstand a single punch from this guy.

If he were to engage this person right from the start, he would probably have to use his second self to directly confront him, but even then, there was no absolute certainty of victory.

If others were to join the fight... if we assume this condition, then without seeking a breakthrough, it would be virtually impossible to resolve today's predicament.

However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this situation is actually quite unlikely to occur.

Firstly, given the speed and power he displayed, once he engaged in a direct offensive battle, no one else could get a chance to intervene. Secondly, Durant's own position dictated that if others could control the situation, he wouldn't be able to leave the court.

Durant threw punches, but Chen Chuan calmly blocked each one. His attacks seemed to have no effect, and he couldn't even move Chen Chuan.

However, he did not stop because of this, nor was he psychologically affected. In the process, his strength gradually increased, seemingly growing with each punch.

Seeing that he had attacked so many times but still hadn't shown any special reaction, Chen Chuan did not let his guard down.

It's important to know that this is an anomaly. Even though Durant's outward appearance shows extreme strength, it's probably because the Titans are known for their strength.

Every fighter of the Otherworldly Aspects must also possess an extraordinary power. Given Durant's level, his power must be extremely strong, but its nature is currently unknown. Could it be some kind of passive power?
Perhaps it is possible, but he will not give up the attack because of any possibility. Now is about the time. With that thought, the spirit above blocked the incoming fist with one hand and threw a punch at the person at the same time.

A dazzling light flashed in the sky, and a deep blue spiritual fire suddenly exploded. Then, with a bang, Durant was sent flying by the punch.

Chen Chuan's figure flashed and quickly appeared in front of him. His second punch hit the man, forcing him to move away again. But he followed closely once more and then threw a third punch.

He then continued to hurl punches at Durant, returning the blows as many times as Durant had thrown, each punch landing squarely on the man's body.

In fact, by the time of his second punch, Durant's spiritual fire had already been shattered. And he was able to ensure that his power solidly penetrated Durant's body.

But no matter how many punches he landed, Durant didn't show any injuries, not even a single cut.

This situation seems very abnormal. He dared to say that even someone of equal strength would not be able to escape unscathed after being attacked like this, so there is only one possibility left.

Extraordinary power?
Durant's seemingly indestructible body is indeed due to a supernatural power called "Titanic Body".

As long as he has the strength, within one hour of the supernatural power's effect, no matter what attack his body encounters, as long as it doesn't reach the upper level of power, he will not suffer any damage.

After Chen Chuan determined that the problem might be caused by supernatural forces, he did not insist on using ordinary attacks to solve the problem.

While relentlessly attacking Durant to prevent him from making any other moves, he focused his mind, and then a mysterious flame floated out from his fist.

He decisively unleashed the Xuan Kong Fire.

Based on information obtained from the Celestial Fish, the Xuan Kong Fire likely involves higher-level forces and possesses absolute destructive power against most weaker external forces.

When the punch landed heavily, all the Xuan Kong Fire above also landed on Durant's body.

However, this time, the ever-victorious Xuan Kong Fire failed to play its due role and disappeared in a flash.

Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow. Even if the Xuan Kong Fire couldn't work on the other party, it shouldn't be behaving like this. This situation seemed more like the Xuan Kong Fire being absorbed by something.

Purely defensive supernatural forces shouldn't be able to stop it, and if that's ruled out, then it can only be the effect of the lost artifact. His deduction was absolutely correct. As the executive officer of the Hazardous Affairs Operations Bureau and the governor's personal advisor, Durant was also shouldering the responsibility of carrying out a major federal mission this time. To ensure success, and also as a precaution, the Federation had equipped him with a Level 1 lost artifact.

This lost artifact has a very special function: it will be the first to bear any external force or even power that exceeds the wearer's own resistance limit.

Although it will be damaged if it exceeds a certain limit, as a first-level lost item, this thing has an extremely high limit. As long as the force is not enough to destroy it in one blow, it can play its due role.

After seeing it, Chen Chuan realized that continuing to use the Xuan Kong Fire was inappropriate because he didn't understand the specific function of the lost item, as the flame would deplete his stamina.

This thing isn't like spiritual fire, which can return on its own after being used; once it's used, there will definitely be a loss.

In that case, he would continue the attack. No matter what kind of supernatural power it was, it would still be consumed. He didn't believe that the opponent could resist like this indefinitely.

At this moment, he changed the direction of his attack, blasting Durant from the sky to the ground below, where they landed together on a mountain that rose from the ground.

The highest peak in Zhongtian Peak of Weishuzhou is undoubtedly the highest, but there are also some relatively low mountains and hills around it.

The collision created a huge crater in the mountainside, sending rocks flying everywhere and dust billowing into the sky. A muffled tremor reverberated from the point of impact, as if the entire mountain range was being shaken, with large chunks of rock collapsing and tumbling down.

Once Chen Chuan arrived, he continued his relentless assault on Durant, who was being pounded around like a dummy.

Durant did try to fight back, but he couldn't keep up with Chen Chuan's pace. Every time he tried to throw a punch, he was hit first, completely interrupting his nascent counterattack.

As the intense impact continued, a series of low, rumbling sounds erupted from the area, sending massive amounts of dust and debris flying into the air.

However, during the attack, Chen Chuan gradually discovered that Durant's strength was constantly improving. From being powerless to resist at the beginning, more than a minute later, he was able to make some evasive and defensive moves.

This is Durant's second superpower, called "Heart of the Titans," which gives him the ability to grow stronger in battle, not just like the power boost of a Throne Fighter.

In theory, as long as the opponent possesses the power, he can also improve and reach that level in the confrontation.

Furthermore, this enhancement will be firmly memorized by the body, allowing one to reach that level in future battles. In other words, theoretically, Chen Chuan can reach the power limit he can achieve by continuing to fight. In past battles, he has repeatedly used this special power to defeat powerful enemies, growing stronger with each battle.

To prevent the enemy from noticing and retreating prematurely, he possesses a third extraordinary power called "Titan Oath." Once the enemy is engaged in fierce combat with him, they will not have any intention of fleeing and will fight alongside him to the very end.

Chen Chuan quickly realized that Durant's improvement was somewhat abnormal, clearly exceeding the scope of a Dongxuan Temple fighter.

However, he did not stop attacking. Although the opponent seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, he was sure that even with the help of supernatural forces, there must be a limit.

Even if I could catch up to and approach his current state, it would be impossible to reach the power of my second self after we merged again.

On the other hand, such an improvement wouldn't come without a price; he didn't believe it would be without any cost. Under such intense combat and attacks, even the Dongxuan Temple couldn't hold out for long.

Because apart from him, no one else possesses the characteristic of being permanently intact. If they don't have it, then there is a flaw. Now he is attacking the flaw with his own strength, and it is clear who is stronger and who is weaker.

With each punch that came crashing down, no matter how much Durant increased his strength, his stance was shattered by Durant's merciless blows. Even when he managed to block a punch, his arm was also smashed into his head, face, and chest.

Under this continuous bombardment, the section of the mountain where they were fighting collapsed, revealing obvious faults and deep pits, with the collapsed soil and rocks flowing down like a flash flood.

Chen Chuan is not afraid of wasting time, because he knows that as time goes by, the possibility of Master Lu returning is gradually increasing.

This person allowed him to fully unleash his power, so he used all kinds of strength and alternated between them to attack the other person.

At this point, he sensed that Durant's strength was increasing at a slower pace, rather than as rapidly as it had at the beginning.

Upon noticing this, his eyes flashed, he pushed aside Durant's arm that was covering his face, grabbed Durant's head, and slammed it forward, smashing it into the mountainside with a thud. He said calmly, "Is that all?"
