Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1586 Sky-Splitting Battle for Crystal

Amidst the flashing light, Chen Chuan stood there holding the Snow Lord Blade, his body enveloped in a thick, platinum-gold spiritual light, while wisps of purple energy and ethereal white mist swirled around him.

A red scarf fluttered around Xuejun's blade, while wings faintly unfurled within the white mist.

At this moment, he landed right here.

He had been talking so much with Bai Yuzi just now so that he could get here in person.

At that moment, a rumbling sound came from the sky, like thunder, and gusts of wind swirled around the North Marsh.

The forces of the two worlds converged once again, inevitably triggering extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, but its scale was far greater than the previous clashes.

At this moment, Bai Yuzi pulled his arm outward, and the chains there snapped inch by inch, turning into a faint mist that drifted away.

The arrival of the spiritual world greatly enhanced his power, and the confinement here had reached its original limit, like a rotten and loose rope that would break at the slightest struggle.

He looked at Chen Chuan and saw that the other was also looking at him. He chuckled, stood with his sleeves behind his back on the big rock, and crystal-clear water vapor appeared out of thin air around him, surging and rolling there between the tangible and the intangible.

With a flash of light in his eyes, he suddenly pressed down on Chen Chuan, his momentum like a surging wave.

Chen Chuan stood still, with a mist surging around him as well. This mist rolled forward to meet the attack, and as the mist collided, lightning-like cracks appeared at the point of contact.

At first, there seemed to be a stalemate, but the next moment, the white mist pushed forward with unstoppable force, and the waves collapsed one by one until they finally pushed onto Shiro Yuko, whose entire body was smashed to pieces by the impact of this force.

Chen Chuan's eyes flickered slightly. From the beginning, he had noticed that the other party's spirit was ethereal and uncertain. Just now, it seemed to be there, but there was always a sense of unreality about it. This was clearly the way of a divine being.

But just now, under the impact of the field collision, he discovered that the field had undergone a transformation just like himself. This was somewhat like the manifestation of a human, but he had read the files and the other party should be the manifestation of a god, so there was only one explanation left.

He looked at the figures gathering in the waves and said with certainty, "This body is not yours."

"Yes."

Bai Yuzi's body had somehow reassembled, and he was completely hidden in the waves. A faint voice came from within: "You should have heard of this body."

It was none other than the former Master Dayi Mountain.

"Dayishan Gong?"

Chen Chuan quickly realized who it was.

Haixi Road is not only a wild and untamed place, but it has also been a place for serious criminals of the imperial court, heretics of the old state religion, and places for suppressing gods and demons.

The Duke of Dayi Mountain was a general of the Qi Dynasty who was suppressed here for plotting a rebellion!
It seems that this person used some secret method to seize his body and let his divine form reside within it.

This method is generally impossible, but Bai Yuzi opened up a branch of the Xuanjiao sect and almost became the ancestor of the Xuanjiao sect. Although his behavior was despicable, his talent was undeniable.

With the physical form of the Great Yi Mountain God combined with the divine appearance of the White Fish Roe, they appear to have almost no weaknesses.

However, he did not see it that way. At their level, no matter how well others' power was used, there was still a gap. Only one's own power was the most harmonious and free. Simply piecing together other people's power would not enhance combat strength much, and might even drag oneself down.

White Fish Roe must understand this principle, so either she has no choice but to do it, or she has other plans.

Another loud noise came from the sky, as if the sky itself had split open, causing the two of them to look up at the same time.

Then a huge crack appeared in the sky, like a pitch-black hole, which was completely different from the sights Chen Chuan had seen before.

Moreover, after a flash of lightning, several blue-faced, fanged monsters appeared outside the pitch-black void, their heads close together, looking like they were peering curiously down into a well—both eerie and terrifying.

Chen Chuan's gaze narrowed slightly. It was not a simple extraterrestrial demon, but a manifestation of a higher power.

A moment later, strands of light appeared. Upon seeing this, both men stared at it, then looked at each other. Both of them could tell that their opponent intended to take this item.

Bai Yuzi sneered. He was determined to get this thing; it was the key to his success or failure, so he would never allow anyone else to compete with him for it!
With a flick of his fishing rod, a series of lightning bolts shot towards Chen Chuan's location.

The moment he made his move, Chen Chuan caught the direction of his attention, his eyes piercing through the layers of concealment and landing on the man.

At this moment, Bai Yuzi saw Chen Chuan's figure flash slightly, and then he felt his consciousness snap out for a moment.

When he regained consciousness, he found a crater on the ground that looked like it had been struck by a meteorite, and inside was a mangled body, with raging mysterious flames scorching everything around it.

Chen Chuan was standing at the edge of the pit, knife in hand. Then, as if noticing something, he looked up and gazed in his direction. Bai Yuzi felt a sudden pang of fear. He hadn't seen what happened in the brief moment before, but now that the borrowed body had been destroyed and the divine form had separated, he understood.

Just now, Chen Chuan simply rushed towards him and threw a punch. It was such a simple action, but it was so fast that he couldn't react in time.

When the divine form is combined with the physical body, the senses must be highly consistent with the physical body, otherwise it will be difficult to control. And that attack just now should have exceeded the reaction limit of this body.

He was filled with astonishment and doubt. The Duke of Dayi Mountain was a renowned founding general of the Qi Dynasty, whose martial prowess would easily rank among the top five of all founding generals throughout history. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to use him as his own body.
Even though he couldn't unleash his full power, he still possessed over 90% of his strength, yet he couldn't withstand a single punch from this person.
And those flames...

Is it Xuan Kong Fire?

His eyes showed even deeper apprehension; he hadn't expected his opponent to possess the ability to control such fire, but fortunately…

Chen Chuan then discovered that the Xuan Kong Fire encountered a significant obstacle when it was burning the body.

It was clearly from a higher power. He looked up and glanced at the monsters staring at him from behind the black hole. It seemed to be related to them.

That's alright. Even without the Xuan Kong Fire, he can still subdue his opponent using his own power.

At this moment, he saw that as the impact between the two worlds deepened, the scattered streams of light began to converge into bright lightning, and the fused substance he had come here to collect was being generated.

Seeing this, he ignored the white fish roe and instead focused his mind on it, instantly guiding it into his body.

Taking advantage of this gap, the white fish roe absorbed the scattered body tissues and reassembled them into their original form.

He saw the mingled substances continuously flowing into Chen Chuan's body, and felt an unbearable heartache. He roared in anger:
"That'smine!"

Then, a burst of crimson spiritual light erupted from his body, transforming into a blazing sun as it rushed towards Chen Chuan.

But as soon as he got close, a fist came straight at him, slamming into his cheek and then slamming him into the ground!
The earth trembled violently, and even the water in the northern marshland boiled, sending up plumes of flame and clouds of smoke before a huge explosion was heard.

A deep crater appeared on the ground. The upper half of the white fish's body was destroyed by the punch, while the remaining lower half was enveloped in a violent, platinum-gold light, which suppressed the regeneration of the body's tissues.

After those two punches, Chen Chuan could clearly see that his opponent had some kind of restriction or barrier that prevented him from directly striking his spirit.

Similarly, the opponent's divine form was also unable to use any methods against him, which explains why he insisted on using this body.

Since this opponent was temporarily unkillable, after smashing it, he simply ignored it and focused on absorbing the fused elements.

After writhing for a while, the half-body below, seeing that it could not quickly recover from the suppression of the spiritual fire, simply gave up.

With a deafening explosion, all the remaining flesh and blood exploded, and from within, they coalesced into several figures of white fish roe, launching attacks on Chen Chuan from all directions.

Upon seeing this, Chen Chuan stood still. A flash of purple light emanated from his body, transforming into numerous clones, each corresponding to a figure approaching. When his fist struck, each clone directly shattered the figure, but then even more fragments of flesh and blood transformed into clones and flew towards him.

His gaze fell upon the bottom of the pit, where, after discarding most of its flesh and blood, the half-skeleton had also shaken off most of the spiritual fire that had seeped in. In the blink of an eye, flesh and blood began to spread out from the bones.

He stretched out his finger, pointed it downwards, and light began to emanate from his fingertip.

But at that moment, the ground shook violently, and then a giant hand slammed down on him.

Meanwhile, two more figures flew rapidly toward him from the left and right sides.

With a flash of spiritual light at Chen Chuan's fingertips, the giant hand was instantly blasted into countless fragments, yet it continued its momentum forward.

As for the people who came from the side, one was whipped away by the long tail of the spiritual essence hidden on his body, while when the other arrived, he simply raised his hand to block it. Under the contact of the powerful force, the newcomer was directly shattered into pieces. Then, his arm shone with light, and he completely destroyed it in an instant.

Despite the opponent's extremely fast attack, he could clearly see that the attacks from both sides came from demons and ghosts.

Since ancient times, Haixi Road has not only been a place of sealing off and exile, but also the final resting place of many Xuanji martial artists. Many bodies were left here, and it is not surprising that some of them became demons and ghosts.

White caviar must have controlled and utilized these things.

In the past, demons and ghosts might have made him wary, but now they are nothing more than empty shells with power. However, some demons and ghosts possess unusual forms, and their extraordinary powers might be able to interfere with him.

At that moment, the spiritual light and fire rushing towards that direction was blocked by a huge body that emerged from the ground. Although it was instantly destroyed, Bai Yuzi managed to escape by chance and now transformed into a swift beam of light rushing towards him!
