Chapter 1516 One Blade Opens the Mysterious Light
As Chen Chuan saw the blade strike down, the crack was quickly smoothed out by a force thrown from the outside.

This is exactly the same force that suppressed his two major techniques earlier, and it should come from some higher-level power.

So……

Xuan Kong Fire suddenly appeared around him. If he used Xuan Kong Fire to burn this area of ​​space, then the opponent should be unable to suppress him.

Outside, Shang Lingjun held up an arrow-shaped shield, summoning more demons to gather below, while a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes as he looked towards the Immortal Abode.

If ordinary methods can't break through this immortal dwelling, then Chen Chuan will probably use the Xuan Kong Fire, right?

This is highly possible, provided that the fire is strong enough and spreads to every corner of the monastery.

But all the effort they had put into pinning the "negative reputation" on Chen Chuan was for this very moment.

Once the Xuan Kong Fire ignites, Fu Ming will have nowhere to go. If he is tainted, the inner demon will certainly be killed, but an even more powerful being will be attracted here. At that time, he won't even need to lift a finger; the other party will be able to take care of him.

Chen Chuan looked at the Xuan Kong Fire beside him, but with a backhand, he suppressed it, and the flames disappeared again.

He could sense that the Xuan Kong Fire might cause some unpredictable consequences, and besides, the other party knew that he could control this fire, so they couldn't help but be wary of this move.

only……

He looked up and saw that this place was suitable for him to exert his strength.

The human form unfolds outwards, and at the same time, two major forms bloom anew on his body. This is because the power of the opponent's arrow has been used to solidify this field, and it no longer suppresses him.

Under his influence, this force continuously squeezed the immortal dwelling, causing the entire airspace to tremble.

From Shang Lingjun's perspective, he noticed that cracks had appeared outside the Immortal Abode, as if it were about to burst. He was shocked and desperately sent his power into the arrow shield.

Finally, under the suppression of this object, the cracks on it gradually repaired themselves and returned to their original state.

Just as he felt a slight sense of relief, he felt an even stronger force surge back, expanding outwards as if to burst the immortal dwelling.

He knew that it wasn't that the upper-level power within the arrow couldn't stop it, but rather that his own abilities were limited, so he couldn't unleash more power from it.

However, if this immortal dwelling is destroyed, then this person will truly be uncontrollable, and his mission will fail. If that happens, the person he has pledged allegiance to will certainly not let him off easily.

So he disregarded everything else and poured all his energy into it, desperately urging the power of the upper levels within.

However, the power within the immortal abode surged back wave after wave, causing his originally melancholic and handsome face to become somewhat ferocious as he gritted his teeth and resisted.

At this moment, he could sense demons gathering here, but he was currently focused on fighting against the power within the Immortal Abode. Under these circumstances, he naturally couldn't pay attention to the demons that were being summoned.

However, at that moment, a long mace suddenly swung down from above and smashed into his head!

With a deafening roar, Shang Lingjun's head and upper body shattered instantly, and the shattered remains were engulfed in flames along with him.

Where it had originally stood, a figure appeared wearing a helmet, a jade mask, and bright armor.

This is the power clone that Chen Chuan left in this world before, and the strike he unleashed with the long mace at this moment was a demon-subduing technique once used by a certain Xuan Ancestor!
The celestial abode below was originally suppressed by the power of the upper level, but now that Shang Lingjun has exploded, it has lost its source of power. Cracks spread on the celestial abode below, and the next moment, it exploded completely.

Chen Chuan stood in the middle, and the image of the person around him emitted a brilliant light that illuminated the void.

At this moment, he looked at the broken spot where Shang Lingjun was, and the long sword in the man's hand slashed down there, bringing out a large ball of Xuan Kong fire.

As the blade swung, the flames instantly clung to the remaining aura and fragmented tissues scattered in the void, igniting them and burning them deeper into the void along with the spirit. However, they encountered some obstruction halfway and failed to reach the root.

Chen Chuan could sense that, even now, Shang Lingjun's domain was still connected to his, which meant that the other party was not dead and that his spirit or some of his physical tissues still existed around him.

With a glance, he spotted a small seal in the void. However, the moment his gaze met it, the seal flickered and flew away into the distance, while the field showed signs of separating from him.

His eyes flashed, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, instantly catching up to the small seal behind him, while the field around him remained connected to it.

After a moment, he raised the Snow Lord Blade in his hand, gripped the hilt with both hands, and slashed downwards, striking the seal squarely. Xuan Kong Fire burst outwards from the seal, and with this slash, a crack was cleaved open in the small seal. A wisp of spirit and a trace of mutated tissue hidden inside were instantly annihilated by the light and fire.

At that very moment, the small seal suddenly shattered into countless tiny fragments, and he heard screams of agony in his mind.

At this moment, he also noticed that as the Xuan Kong Fire burned deeper into the void along these fragments, it encountered no further resistance, as if the power that had originally protected Shang Lingjun had been withdrawn. After Shang Lingjun's remains were completely burned away in the void, they turned into wisps of gray debris, scattering all around. But among these, countless shimmering, lake-blue powders could be seen.

Just seeing these things aroused a strong craving in the mutated tissues within him.

He reached out and grabbed all the powder, including the precious materials left behind by the demons, which flew towards him and gathered in his palm.

However, there was something else in the distance that attracted his attention even more: after the Immortal Abode was destroyed, only a shimmering Immortal Seed remained.

With a thought, the object flew over and he took it in his hand.

He didn't know that the Immortal Seed could be used in this way. It could not only be used to break through, but also to bind enemies. It must have been used by some special method.

However, upon closer reflection, isn't breaking through the upper levels also a process of destruction before construction? If one cannot break through, one will be constrained; if one can break through, one will be reborn. These two are similar in principle.

Besides these, there are some things that are even more important.

As Shang Lingjun's domain completely disappeared, several lost items flew out from within, along with the arrow-shaped shield that landed.

He took all of these things, leaving the lost items aside for later, intending to deal with them when he got back. However, the arrow-shaped token caught his attention. He picked it up and examined it, noticing that it resembled a Xuan Token from the Xuan Sect of the past, though it was somewhat ambiguous.

He thought about it for a moment. This Shang Lingjun had both the mantra of the Chan sect and the Xuan decree of the Xuan sect on him. It was impossible to tell which side he was loyal to. Of course, it was also possible that he was not loyal to either side.

After all, countless sages from the Chan and Xuan schools of Buddhism had entered this place in the past, so it's perfectly reasonable that some things were lost.

At this moment, his power clone also approached and brought over some things, which were the precious materials he had collected during this period and some scattered immortal seeds.

Chen Chuan roughly tallied up the spoils he had obtained from the demons today, and combined with what he had acquired before creating his clone, he only had a tiny bit of the precious materials he needed left. What he had originally thought he could finish by the end of February now seemed to be able to be completed much earlier.

While he was pondering this, he suddenly sensed in his mind that several fields were emerging outside, and each one was a powerful demon.

His mind raced, and he immediately deduced that this was likely a demon that Shang Lingjun had just driven away or summoned, but it had been killed by him before it even reached him.

With a thought, he absorbed all of these things into his own domain.

The illusory human figure reappeared outside him, and a wisp of mist spread around him, as if a winged dragon was faintly visible behind him.

Ling Su had been mostly melted away by the demonic light, leaving only a little bit. However, by absorbing the omnipresent energy within this world, she has now recovered.

Chen Chuan adjusted himself slightly, turned around, and faced the emerging demons. He took the initiative to move his domain forward, unleashing his two major techniques once again. He charged into the demons, wielding a long sword in one hand and a long mace in the other, slashing left and right, smashing the demons one by one.

At that moment, two powerful spiritual forces appeared on the outside, and then the field directly connected with him. The next moment, Liu Changlin and Fang Yanxing appeared outside.

The two finally arrived at this moment. Their journey had not been smooth, as they had encountered many demons. However, it was precisely because of this that they became even more certain of their own ideas.

The result was that the active consciousness was left behind to actively attract the attention of the demons, while the entity itself sped up its journey.

Seeing Chen Chuan fighting against numerous demons single-handedly, not only holding his own but also overwhelming them, with a field of light surrounding him and displaying incredible power in his battles, the two men were deeply moved and immediately drew their weapons to join the fray.

With the combined efforts of the three, the demons were no match for them and soon scattered. It seemed that more demons were still approaching, but they no longer pressed forward as before. After realizing their power, they disappeared one by one.

The three of them did not pursue any further. The demons in this world could not be completely killed; breaking free from the siege was enough.

Fang Yanxing looked around at the remaining traces. Behind him were not only fragments of crystal jade, but also traces of the field that had not completely dissipated after the Immortal Abode was destroyed. Clearly, Chen Chuan had experienced a high-intensity battle before the demons.

He was even more astonished. At that moment, something occurred to him, and his expression turned slightly serious. He looked around warily, then turned back and asked, "Advisor Chen, where is Shang Lingjun? Where is he now? Did you run into him just now?"

Liu Changlin looked over upon hearing this.

Chen Chuan said casually, "If Consultant Fang was asking about the person we saw earlier, then he would have already been killed by me."
