Chapter 1391 Shattered Form Returns to Dust

The Madness Aspect possesses an almost insane offensive style and a mental power that can cause a strong mental shock to the opponent.

Among the five phases, its combat power is second only to the phase of wrath.

However, when faced with Chen Chuan's punch, it still had no outstanding advantage. All its madness and frenzy were crushed in an instant under the absolute power.

It was no different from the state of stillness and tranquility, and was instantly blasted into countless pieces of blood and flesh.

Another phase was broken, and a smiling face emerged from the void. This time it was a face of joy, but its combat power was actually inferior to the former. So, the moment it appeared, it was blasted apart by another punch and followed in the footsteps of the former in the blink of an eye.

After Chen Chuan delivered three punches, he had a pretty good understanding of Wan Ke's situation.

He was not entirely ignorant of the ancient gods; based on the previous changes, he had deduced that their appearance was likely derived from the Five Elements Demon.

No wonder this person dared to come in person. If an ordinary person were to face him, it would be really difficult. Even if you manage to defeat or kill him with great effort, he would recover in the blink of an eye, and then you might be defeated by him.

But he couldn't gain any advantage over him, because no matter how this person changed, he would never transcend his original level of power, so it made almost no difference to him.

On the other side, under the influence of the supernatural force, the Wrathful Phase, arguably the strongest among the four phases, was unleashed.

Although it appeared exceptionally fierce and completely different from the previous phases, its actual behavior was no different. It didn't even let out a roar before being swallowed up in a platinum-gold radiance.

In a short while, all four aspects of Wan Ke's body were destroyed, and in that void, another aspect emerged.

This is the final manifestation of all phenomena. At this point, the advantages and disadvantages of the other manifestations will all converge on him.

However, he can use a second supernatural power to discard all the disadvantages and only keep the aspects that are beneficial to combat, thus maximizing his combat power.

Chen Chuan also noticed the change in his opponent's aura; this time, the change was somewhat different.

Realizing that his opponent might unleash even greater power this time, he also became serious. With a thought, white mist rose from his body as he used the Heaven and Earth Furnace Breathing Technique.

Moreover, to ensure there were no problems, he simultaneously used the Great Azure Sky Style, which made the space around him appear almost completely distorted from the ground.

Just as he clenched his fist, a sudden change occurred. The white phosphorescent orb of light that Wan Ke had first thrown into the sky suddenly plummeted downwards, striking him like a spiritual impact.

At that moment, Wan Ke also instantly materialized his form and rushed towards Chen Chuan. A sharp claw condensed at the tip of his finger, and the pale white spiritual light on his body instantly turned the sky white.

After learning Chen Chuan's identity, he had already prepared for the worst-case scenario of each of his incarnations being destroyed. Therefore, he made plans in advance and pinned his chance for counterattack on the last incarnation.

His third supernatural power possesses the ability to devour an opponent, but it requires a moment to activate. The spiritual impact might buy him a chance. If he successfully devours the opponent, there will be almost no chance of resistance.

Everything was planned perfectly, but as soon as he rushed forward, he met a pair of deep, calm eyes. The other person completely ignored the spiritual impact above, and a fist came straight for his face.

He watched helplessly as the fist grew larger and larger. Although his consciousness could barely keep up, his body could not react at all.

At that moment, the void rippled, and the hairy sea worm leaped out and crashed into him.

The hairy sea worm can fly and hide, and is extremely fast. It can also take its owner into a void, thus helping them avoid disaster.

It was only because it managed to hide in the field in time that it was spared from the impact of Chen Chuan's fist.

Now, seeing its master in a life-or-death crisis, it jumped out again and tried to knock him away. This was a tactic Wan Ke had devised beforehand; if things truly became impossible, it could take him away and help him escape the danger.

The moment the hairy sea worm's front paws made contact with Wan Ke, his body seemed to float up like waves, as if entering some kind of nothingness.

Just as the signs of his body becoming ethereal were spreading, a figure with magnificent feathers flashed by, its four claws reaching out and grabbing the body of the hairy sea worm.

This grab tore through the spiritual light and fire surrounding the hairy earthworm, and at the same time, a force was injected into it, causing the huge body to pause for a moment.

This caused half of its body to enter the ethereal state, while the other half remained exposed, unable to completely disappear inside.

boom!
Chen Chuan's punch landed squarely on Wan Ke's head, instantly turning the outer half of his body into scattered pieces of flesh and blood.

A dazzling spiritual impact erupted from his fist, and the void was struck by it, causing cracks to appear throughout the area.

Mao Haiqiu let out a sob and tried to push Wan Ke away, but he was torn apart by the raging tide of spiritual fire in the blink of an eye.

And this impact force, after shattering the obstacles in front, continued to surge backward. The massive Sky Whale was right in its path, and in the blink of an eye, its enormous hull was pulverized. The remaining wreckage, streaked with light and debris, tumbled and crashed to the ground. Wan Ke had been pushed aside, narrowly escaping a fatal blow. However, his condition was far from optimistic. Only most of his head and a small part of his body remained intact, and a large amount of spiritual light and fire had seeped into them, hindering his body's self-regeneration.

At that moment, he also saw that, under the bombardment of the several clusters of spiritual energy falling from above, Chen Chuan was also engulfed by a bright light.

After waiting a while, when the light faded, his pupils shrank, because he saw Chen Chuan standing there unharmed, the platinum spiritual light flowing over his body like viscous water, resisting all the damage.

At this moment, a strange light appeared in his eyes, and he stared intently at Chen Chuan.

This was one of his secret techniques for observing enemies; with a single glance, he could discern the opponent's true strength and thus launch targeted attacks. He simply hadn't had the chance to do so earlier, but now he just wanted to see clearly just how strong the person who had defeated him truly was.

However, upon looking at it, he was greatly shocked, because what he saw was not a person, but a wisp of purple mist, which seemed to drift and have no beginning or end.

"You...you are actually..."

Wan Ke never expected that the one he had been fighting from beginning to end was just a power clone.
He was immediately shocked. If the real person were to arrive, what kind of great power would they possess?

Chen Chuan seemed to notice his gaze, and turned his eyes to the floating remains. He swung the hand holding the Snow Lord Blade outward, and Wan Ke's remaining body exploded inch by inch.

At the same time, a mysterious flame flew out from the blade and landed on the scattered spirits and flesh, instantly igniting them.

These flames expanded rapidly and spread along that spiritual path upwards into the heavens.

At that moment, a strange aura suddenly emerged, and a blurry figure vaguely appeared.

The figure seemed to be made of a wisp of air, but upon closer inspection, one could discern many ever-changing faces, each staring intently at Chen Chuan. However, it only lasted for a moment before vanishing without a trace in the flames.

Chen Chuan stared at the illusory figure. If he guessed correctly, this should be the aura of the Formless Demon residing on Wan Ke, which should have been affected by the Xuan Kong Fire just now.

However, because this thing was of an extremely high level, the Xuan Kong Fire was unable to trace its origin back to its original form by following the flow of Qi.

This battle was relatively easy for him; he didn't need to think too much about it and could simply throw a punch.

This is the power of a human at the pinnacle. If your extraordinary abilities are useless against me, then you can only wait to be hammered to death.

At this moment, Chaoming let out a whistling sound, turned in mid-air, shrank its body again, climbed onto his shoulder, and chirped at him twice.

Chen Chuan smiled slightly and looked towards the old imperial army's garrison. The battle there seemed to be nearing its end.

Wan Ke's spiritual power had been spreading unchecked, but now that he had been defeated, that intimidating force vanished abruptly. Chen Chuan's power, however, remained in the arena, clearly indicating to everyone who had won this battle.

The first to notice were Zong Chi and his two companions, who were still engaged in battle. Zong Chi was particularly shaken and inevitably affected.

Hong Ancheng and Zhu Kongqi were extremely experienced. Just now, through a series of tactical coordination, they firmly suppressed Zong Chi and cut off his possibility of retreating from the fortress.

Upon discovering this, Hong Ancheng kicked out, sending the Xuanjin Toad flying far away.

The sluggish, pulling feeling that had been omnipresent around him vanished instantly. Zhu Kongqi's speed increased dramatically, and he grabbed Zong Chi's arm. Amidst the exploding bursts of spiritual light and fire, the force of his capture instantly penetrated into Zong Chi's body, rendering half of his arm immobile.

Just as Zong Chi was about to break free, Hong Ancheng struck him on the side of his face with his elbow, instantly shattering the spiritual fire protecting him and momentarily interrupting his consciousness.

Zhu Kongqi pressed his strength again, forcing Zong Chi to kneel on the ground.

Hong Ancheng grabbed the sledgehammer-like pipe and smashed it down. With a bang, the head below was shattered.

Hong Ancheng did not stop. He threw aside his pipe and continued to swing his fists at the headless mutilated body until he shattered the remaining body into dust before he stopped.

Zhu Kongqi then unleashed another spiritual shockwave at the ground, completely annihilating it.

The two then looked toward the fortress. The embroidered envoy standing there saw that things were not going well and turned to run. However, while she was still in mid-air, a beam of light shot out from behind her and pierced through her in an instant.
