Chapter 1440 Flying Flame Severing Immortal Ritual

With the support of the golden light, Emperor Wenguang barely managed to dodge another of Chen Chuan's blows, but at this moment, a look of anger and fear appeared in his eyes.

At this point, he seemed to be forced to use a power that he had previously been reluctant to employ.

The intense fluorescence emanating from his body suddenly emitted an even brighter light, and then the void seemed to be illuminated, revealing a large cloud of silver mist that fell down towards Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly; he immediately sensed that it was some kind of power from above.

Whether it's the field around him, his spirit, or his spiritual fire, everything disappears after being touched by this thing, as if it can obliterate everything it touches.

Fortunately, after his battle with Prince Yong, he became more cautious. Although Prince Yong ultimately failed to use this method, Emperor Wenguang might not have been able to.

At this moment, the Xuan Kong Fire on the halo behind the human figure suddenly drifted away and collided with the light mist. As soon as they came into contact, the mist burst into flames.

It's clear that while this thing isn't as powerful as the Xuan Kong Fire, it's still on the same level.

At the same time, he also understood why Emperor Wenguang seemed reluctant to use this method, because actively drawing upon the superior power would interfere with or even disrupt the ascension ceremony. The beam of light that was being used to guide the ascension was now swaying slightly under the influence of this power.

But he showed no mercy. At the same moment the golden light dissipated, the blade's edge pierced through again!

Emperor Wen Guang did not expect that even this could not stop him, but fortunately, only a small portion of the light mist he transferred was directed towards Chen Chuan, while the majority was transferred to his own side.

When the blade's edge comes, in order to break through the obstruction, the Xuan Kong Fire must be activated. With this layer of power acting as an intermediate buffer, the speed of the blade's advance is indirectly hindered.

This time, he finally mustered all his strength and intercepted the blade's edge with a single strike, but the power on the blade was still very real. Even though he was well prepared this time, he was still no match for it.

The spiritual light and fire on his body could be seen violently blowing backward as if blown by a hurricane. His whole body was shaken backward and floated to one side. Although he was in a sorry state, at least his upper body did not collapse like before.

Chen Chuan discovered that although the Xuan Kong Fire was restrained, its flames gradually intensified and its power increased during the process of contacting and burning with the light mist, which was equivalent to another kind of excellent firewood.

Of course, now is not the time to covet these things. If he could use them to delay his progress, he believed Emperor Wenguang would be more than happy to give them to him.

Taking advantage of the opponent leaning back, he lunged forward, his blade flashing, this time aiming for the opponent's neck.

When he unleashed this attack, he activated both the Great Bright Light Style and the Great Azure Sky Style, with a ring of light radiating outwards from his body, instantly enveloping both Emperor Wenguang and himself within it.

This was because he sensed that the opportunity to kill Emperor Wenguang had arrived. In order to prevent the Divine Minister from giving up ascending to immortality and escaping from within after his body was shattered, or from launching a desperate counterattack, he restrained him first.

As he unleashed these two powers, another secret technique struck.

He didn't know what secret technique Emperor Wenguang was using, nor did he need to understand it; he simply unfolded the One Yuan Divine Seal.

If you have a solid foundation, you don't need to think too much about this secret method. Just seize the opportunity and use it directly. It is very much in line with the Pure School's usual crude and effective approach.

This strike went straight up without any obstruction, instantly sending Emperor Wenguang's head flying. At the same time, due to the immense power brought by the swing of the blade, the moment his head and body separated, they exploded into countless pieces of flesh and blood.

Once his body was gone, the divine image hidden inside was also revealed. It could be seen that it was a figure formed from condensed azure energy, and its facial features were the same as those of Emperor Wenguang, whom he had seen before.

The revelation of the divine form seemed to have stirred something, and soon shadowy, ghostly figures appeared in the void outside the two.

This extraordinary ritual connects to the heavens, and the ascension ceremony itself is like a torch lit in the darkness. Without a solid body and the protection of immortals and gods, all demons will be attracted to devour him.

Although these things dare not come up yet because of the light mist on Emperor Wenguang's body and the Great Bright Light surrounding Chen Chuan, they all revealed covetous and greedy expressions.

Emperor Wenguang couldn't care less about these things at this moment. Without his physical body, he had no one to rely on to confront Chen Chuan head-on. Unless he stopped staying in the same place and immediately tried to escape from this place, which was something that the Divine Appearance was good at.

However, if he leaves, the entire ceremony of ascending to immortality will be broken. Not to mention that he is reluctant to give it up, even if he survives, he may not be able to escape the pursuit of Chen Chuan and Da Shun.

He was absolutely unwilling to accept this, so he used the help of a certain relic he possessed to communicate with a being from beyond the heavens.

His divine form suddenly shot outwards and grew taller, transforming in an instant into a three-headed, eight-armed god-demon nearly two hundred meters tall.

Upon seeing this, Ming Chengzi showed surprise, but quickly realized what was happening and sent a mental message to Chen Chuan: "Xuanji, this is a secret technique of my sect, a method of 'commanding gods and summoning immortals' based on 'Xuanlian Tianshen'. This technique can command the energy of celestial gods, demons and monsters to transform into a body and make them one's own protector."

Then he said bitterly, "Even if he has cultivated the 'Mysterious Refinement Heavenly Body' of my Xuan Sect, he cannot use this method without the teaching and talisman of the sect leader. This false emperor must have borrowed the power of my sect's treasure 'Cloud-Piercing Lotus Root' and used the Ascension Ceremony to communicate with the upper levels, thus turning the gods and ghosts captured by my sect into his own power!"

Chen Chuan had seen similar divine figures in the Heavenly Mystery Sect, and they were truly incomparably powerful. If it weren't for the traitor Ran Ming, the Federation might not have been able to break through the defenses of the True Immortals.

He didn't have the chance to compete with the four True Immortals in this regard later, so he didn't know the upper limit of their power. But now it seems that Emperor Wenguang's move is not much different, so it's worth a try.

He gazed at the massive body, took a deep breath, and immediately steam rose from his body, while a faint purple light appeared on his skin.

At the same time, my second self instantly overlapped with him, and he raised his hands to swing his knife upwards.

In that instant, an extremely dangerous feeling was transmitted to the hearts of everyone present, even the ancient gods felt a sense of dread.

The enormous god-demon seemed to sense the threat Chen Chuan posed to it, and suddenly emitted a purplish-red flame that seemed capable of burning through the void. It reached out to grab Chen Chuan, and the fluorescent mist that was originally wrapped around the divine form seemed to be gradually condensing in its palm.

When Ming Chengzi saw that a vortex seemed to be gathering on the claw, he was shocked and immediately knew that this was a kind of supernatural power brought about by the possession of gods and ghosts. As long as one's own strength is greater than that of the opponent, one can capture the opponent in one's palm.

Facing the ever-approaching giant hand, Chen Chuan seemed oblivious, standing motionless in the void. After a moment, he opened his eyes and swung his sword sharply forward!

In an instant, a white-gold light, seemingly tearing through the void, carrying wisps of flickering flames, flew toward the enormous body in front of it, flashing past it like lightning.

The enormous god-demon paused, and the next moment, a straight cut appeared on its chest, after which its upper body was neatly separated!
A look of astonishment lingered on the face of the deity, while the wisps of Xuan Kong Fire remaining on the broken surface rapidly spread to both sides, and in just a moment, it engulfed the entire body.

Chen Chuan maintained his sword-wielding posture in the void, but the large hand that reached out to grab him, despite being surrounded by Xuan Kong Fire, still stubbornly stretched out.

His gaze remained unchanged, and just as the giant hand was about to land on his head, the two enormous body sections in front of him, along with the hand, collapsed with a bang, turning into countless points of light dancing in the void.

Within the light spot, a wisp of pure energy emerged and quickly condensed into a form. However, at this moment, a look of panic and fear appeared on its face, and it seemed to be shouting something upwards.

On the carriage ahead, Tengfei floated down and headed straight for the person.

Emperor Wenguang was considered her ally, and she had participated in the ascension ceremony. However, Emperor Wenguang's promise had not yet been fulfilled, and she did not want to see him killed here now.

Chen Chuan glanced at her with his third eye and discovered that the snake-bodied woman seemed to be an incarnation of some extraterrestrial being.

Upon seeing this, he did not attempt to intercept it himself. Instead, he conjured a avatar from his body and bestowed upon it the same power as himself using the lost item.

He hadn't used it before; he was waiting for this moment so that if any additional ancient deities or powers intervened, he could step in and stop them.

His avatar flashed like light and instantly appeared in front of Tengfei, after which he stopped paying attention to her.

The power that the avatar can withstand can only last for three breaths. It would be best if he could defeat the opponent, but it doesn't matter if he can't. This amount of time is enough for him.

With a light tap of his toes, he flew out like a streak of light, instantly arriving at Emperor Wenguang's location. With both hands, he unleashed a dazzling blade of light, slashing down towards that mass of pure energy!
Emperor Wenguang had nowhere to avoid it. Even if he wanted to leave now, he couldn't outrun Chen Chuan. Moreover, he had already used up all his treasures and had no more protective items left.

At this final moment, he clasped his hands together and used a "Glassy Divine Body," instantly transforming his originally ethereal body into a tangible form, resembling multicolored glass.

This is a secret teaching of Zen Buddhism, using the power of higher levels to protect the body. If one's thoughts are extremely righteous and one's will to live is strong enough, then it can be transformed into something extremely hard.

With a flash of light, Xuejun's blade sliced ​​through his body without any resistance.

Emperor Wenguang was stunned, his eyes revealing intense resentment and unwillingness. Light patterns appeared on his glass-like body, and after a moment, a burst of intense light exploded from within, turning into countless pure and fluorescent radiances.

Chen Chuan raised his knife and slashed it outwards, sending out a large ball of mysterious flames that ignited all the energy with a boom. A large area of ​​firelight swirled and danced in the void around him.
