Chapter 1409 Bright Flame Splits Demon Body

Although Yuan Congye's head had not yet reassembled, the threat posed by the Xuan Kong Fire made him instinctively sense that something was wrong.

At this moment, Chen Chuan was suppressing him from almost every angle. The vast, sky-like force fields outside were just pure binding forces, which were still within his comprehension. However, the purple energy entering his body was an attack method he had never seen before.

The mutated tissues on his body, permeated by the purple aura, desperately tried to expel them, as if this was the first thing he needed to deal with.

Although the alienated organization had to obey his orders under his personal will, the Xiang Shen, which should have moved freely, had become slow and sluggish, unable to move as flexibly as before.

He swung all eight arms at once, and his body began to swell again, trying to break free from the constraints from both inside and outside.

At the same time, five eyes quickly converged within the exploded head, staring at Chen Chuan, shooting out strange, smoky light that seemed to spin incessantly.

This is another of his special powers, "Unbound God". Under certain conditions, this power can seize control of the opponent's body, but the prerequisite is that he must exert dominance over the opponent on the field.

If you can't even stop your opponent in a direct battle, how can you talk about invasion? The Great Xuantian Demon God would never allow it.

Even if it cannot be seized, the supernatural power still exists there and can still have a significant impact on the opponent, causing their strength to weaken.

Unfortunately, Chen Chuan is currently protected by the lost artifact within its time limit, so no supernatural power or ritual can do anything to him, making these actions meaningless.

No matter how much Chen Chuan struggled, the two large hands above him held him firmly down. Even without fully revealing his true form, he still possessed absolute power over his opponent.

Meanwhile, as he continued to use the Great Azure Sky Style, its power was actually slowly increasing. At this point, he also unleashed the Great Bright Light Style, which similarly hindered the communication between the opponent's spirit and the other world.

The flying dragon below sensed its master's predicament and hissed from within its body, attempting to take its master away. However, under the force field of the Great Azure Sky, it was also unable to move and was even pressed down so hard that it couldn't lift its eyelids.

At this moment, clusters of Xuan Kong Fire fell from above. Since Yuan Congye was unable to move, he could only passively endure the flames. A large number of flames landed on his body and burned fiercely, which forced him to separate large clumps of black mist to carry the flames away.

However, this action is not without cost. In reality, it involves constantly peeling away a part of oneself and then using the restorative abilities of the Dongxuan Temple to grow back the lost parts.

But now things are different. Not only is his mutated organization restricted by the purple energy, but his communication with the other world is also affected, and his recovery ability is greatly weakened.

The Xuan Kong Fire that was repelled did not go out. After burning away the surrounding mist, it continued to come towards him. This meant that there would be more and more Xuan Kong Fire around him, and it would probably not be long before he was engulfed by the massive amount of Xuan Kong Fire.

But as long as he cannot break free from Chen Chuan's control, then this ending is inevitable.

While he was being suppressed, Jiang Linghuai and Mu Xiaoren finally realized the situation before them.

This was because everything that had just happened happened so fast that they didn't have enough time to react. If the two of them hadn't stopped in their tracks, they wouldn't have been able to figure out how the battle was going.

After seeing that Chen Chuan's side had gained the upper hand, they immediately realized what they needed to do.

From the information Chen Chuan just shared, it's clear that the number of people from the old imperial family who have arrived this time is definitely not limited to just these few.

Someone had just blocked Mu Xiaoren's attack, and they might do the same to stop Chen Chuan now.

Even if they aren't, the fact that these people haven't shown up or participated in the attack means they must be causing trouble behind the scenes. Therefore, they need to find these people to avoid any unexpected situations.

The airships that the old imperial family brought this time were all shot down by Chen Chuan, but that should only be on the surface. There must be hidden airships hiding in the rear, perhaps with the remaining two alien species. It is highly likely that they landed in some kind of field space.

Mu Xiaoren thought about it calmly and realized that they couldn't find it on their own, but someone could help them.

He immediately used his mental powers to contact Wen Mingzhong behind him.

"Mr. Wen, the enemy is hiding somewhere. Can you help us find it?"

His basis for saying this was that he had been under unusual surveillance the moment the members of the old imperial family stepped into this area.

They did not know where it was, but they knew of the anomaly.

Wen Mingzhong's calm voice resounded in their minds: "Gentlemen, I can seek the answer from the anomaly, but it requires a sacrifice, and I need to prepare..."

Mu Xiaoren immediately interrupted him: "No need, there's not enough time. I'll sacrifice an active consciousness and a body at the Dongxuan Temple level. Isn't that enough?"

Mr. Wen took a breath and quickly replied, "That's enough." No matter how many offerings he prepared, they couldn't compare to an active consciousness capable of supporting the level of the Dongxuan Temple. The effect wasn't bad; on the contrary, it far exceeded expectations.

This move might cause the enemy to target Mu Xiaoren, but now that the two countries are at war, it's not the time to dwell on these things. If possible, we can deal with this after the battle is over.

He telepathically instructed Mu Xiaoren on the specific steps, and the latter immediately and without hesitation sacrificed a host body. At the same time, he also felt a chilling aura emanating from his body, as if he had connected with something, and a sense of extreme danger arose deep within his heart.

He didn't care about that at all, but looked ahead. At that moment, he sensed that there were several people and two huge bio-fields in a certain direction, and one of them gave him a feeling of extreme danger.

He immediately conveyed these thoughts to Jiang Linghuai in his mind and set that as the first target of attack.

In a certain spatial field behind, Shen Xian, with his hunched figure, stood with his hands behind his back in the airship's cabin. His eyes were like bottomless whirlpools, deep and dark.

He had been standing here without moving since the start of the war, and he had been watching Chen Chuan's every move and every move.

He possesses a secret technique called "Qi Bo's Mirror," which allows him to perceive the hidden flaws in his opponent's mind and body.

However, when performing this technique, he needs to keep staring at the target and observing until his inspiration and spirit merge into one, so that he can capture that fatal flaw amidst countless changes.

The deeper you delve into your understanding, the greater your chances of success.

He had been watching for so long, his eyes were bloodshot, but he couldn't find the slightest weakness in Chen Chuan, so he could only continue to observe.

However, all of this depends on the fact that the people in the arena can stop Chen Chuan.

As time went by, he seemed to have gradually figured something out.

But just then, he heard Mi Zhuzi's voice: "They've come looking for you."

He was startled, and then he felt a sinister aura behind him. The appearance of this aura caused him to resonate with the two auras in the field.

The surrounding area shattered instantly, and two figures were rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.

If he stopped now and dealt with both of them simultaneously, he could easily avoid defeat, even if he couldn't win. But that would mean stopping his current actions, rendering all his previous efforts futile.

So at this moment, he chose to continue, the vortex in his eyes spinning rapidly, and it seemed that the stimulation of this extremely tense situation actually enhanced his abilities.

He felt he saw something, something like a flaw? He couldn't be completely sure, but at that moment it was too late to confirm.

Then he opened his mouth wide, and a bright light burst forth from his facial features.

This is another of his secret techniques, "Severing Ties with You"!
This technique uses all of one's life essence as a guide, transforming it into a fierce blade to directly strike the flaws reflected in the "Mirror of Qi Bo." It is effective as long as one enters the opponent's mental field, without needing to touch the opponent!

At that moment, a beam of light shot out from between his eyebrows.

At the same time, a long stick swung down from above, smashing into his body and blasting him apart with a bang.

Mu Xiaoren stared intently at the streak of light that had flown away. He instinctively sensed that something was wrong with it and tried to influence it with a secret technique. However, as he tried to pull it, cracks appeared on his body, but he couldn't stop it.

So all he could do was send a warning to Chen Chuan.

In just a short while, Chen Chuan's demonic appearance had been largely eroded away.

Yuan Congye was unable to break free from his restraints. He could have drawn upon the trace of power that the Great Xuantian Demon God had left within his body, which would have changed the situation. However, no matter how he called out, he was unable to activate it.

He knew that this must be because his performance in battle had not satisfied the demon god, so he was not allowed to use it.

Even so, he did not give up the fight, but under the suppression of absolute power, all of this was in vain.

A few breaths later, the body, already ravaged by the Xuan Kong Fire, could no longer maintain its balance. Its internal equilibrium was broken, and with a loud bang, its entire form shattered and exploded into countless black mists, which were then ignited by the surrounding Xuan Kong Fire.

Chen Chuan stood amidst the swirling flames, sword in hand. His expression remained unchanged, only the red scarf on the hilt of his sword fluttered outwards.

He didn't exert much effort in this battle. Once he figured out the opponent's supernatural power, the opponent would have no chance to fight him unless they used a higher level of power.

However, in his mind, Mu Xiaoren's warning sounded, and when he turned his gaze, he saw a strange, sharp light shooting straight towards him.
