Chapter 1559 A Light Blade Passes Through the Flowing Light

Ge Chongyi's head flew in mid-air, and then he saw a mysterious flame envelop him, after which his consciousness fell into darkness.

His last thought was how he could have been hit when he had used supernatural powers and lost artifacts for protection.

The reason is actually very simple: the speed Chen Chuan unleashed at that moment was beyond reason, arriving before the supernatural force and the lost object could activate, or even before he had a thought.

Of course, there are prerequisites for this, namely that Chen Chuan's spirit had grasped the moment his figure reappeared in advance, so that when the knife was slashed down, there was almost no distance between the two.

This is undoubtedly an extraordinary display of the power of the Human Form of the Dongxuan Temple. Only the Human Form could achieve this almost unbelievable result by relying solely on pure strength and speed without using any supernatural powers or divine abilities.

At this moment, Chen Chuan turned his blade, and the mangled body in front of him instantly burst into flames, the light spreading upwards into the sky.

This time, however, there were no further obstacles, and the celestial bird did not reappear.

A moment later, in his perception, Ge Chongyi's spirit and remains completely vanished.

After waiting a while longer and seeing that the other side did not turn back, he could confirm that the person had been killed by him.

At this time, the ancient gods were unaware of the situation here.

Thanks to Ge Chongyi's initiative in separating himself from the field earlier, in order to prevent him from finding himself by following the fields of the other Old Gods, he naturally separated himself from the group of Old Gods at that moment. Therefore, there were no other individuals present where the two were fighting.

Chen Chuan glanced at the empty void. In fact, according to his original tactical plan, he still wanted to keep this person alive so that he could hold off the other old gods and delay until the other advisors arrived, so that he could eliminate the other one as well.

But now it seems, why wait until then? I might as well handle it myself. If more demons arrive, I can leave it to the advisors who are on their way.

In a flash, he was thinking of connecting to the rift field to rush back to the battlefield, but at that moment he felt a field connect to him out of thin air. Clearly, those ancient gods were one step ahead of him. After all, the purple aura clone he left behind, apart from being strengthened by killing the first ancient god, had not been allocated much power and could not hold out for long.

So he saw those ancient gods appear around him.

However, when these ancient gods arrived, they saw Chen Chuan standing there alone, holding a knife, surrounded by clusters of mysterious flames.
Ge Chongyi, who was supposed to be fighting him, had disappeared without a trace, leaving only two golden whips and some scattered remnants floating there.

The old gods were initially puzzled, but when they saw these things, they were all shocked. However, they absolutely did not believe that Ge Zhongyi had been defeated and killed in such a short time. The latter was known as the Nine-Headed Bird, and even if that was an exaggeration, it was impossible for him to be killed so easily.

They all tried to contact Ge Chongyi, but there was no response. So there was only one possibility left...

After confirming the result, the old gods showed a variety of expressions: some were angry, some were fearful, some were surprised and doubtful, and some had shifty eyes.

Chen Chuan ignored them and swept his gaze across the area, collecting all the remaining artifacts and weapons into his domain.

At this moment, the group of ancient gods finally reached a consensus in their minds and decided to continue their attack.

Because Chen Chuan's lost items should have been exhausted by now, and killing Ge Chongyi just now must have come at a price, he definitely couldn't withstand such a large-scale attack.

If we kill him, break into the rift, and complete the planned operation, we can at least have an explanation when we return.

Just as they were about to make their move, Chen Chuan seemed to sense something, glanced at their location, and then vanished from his spot in the next instant.

The old gods were taken aback, because they could neither see nor sense Chen Chuan there at that moment, and assumed that Chen Chuan had used some method to break free from their field.

But at this moment, the body of an ancient god suddenly exploded out of thin air, and wisps of divine energy scattered in the void, like a dazzling and radiant glow.

However, the others had no idea what had happened, because their connected minds did not detect any unusual activity from the Old God.

But then, another ancient god's body exploded, followed by a third, a fourth...

Even the most oblivious person would realize what was happening at that moment. A chill ran through all the Old Gods, and at the same time, the same thought popped into their minds:
"He hasn't left yet!"

Chen Chuan was rapidly traversing through the void. The originally solidified and viscous spiritual energy around him had now transformed into drifting smoke, and his eyes were flashing with a bright spiritual light.

In his perception, all the individuals around him were no longer what they had seen before, but were composed of clusters of misty, flowing light.

This is a mixture of spiritual matter, will and emotion, spiritual fire, and various other energies, which is closer to the essence of a person, or rather, a transcendent being. While observing these, he can discern the rise and fall of each opponent's emotions, the strength and distribution of their spiritual fire, and even the outward spread of their divine aura, which is often the maximum scope that supernatural means can cover.

With the supernatural methods overlapping, it was as if different rays of light were intertwining and spreading around, making it exceptionally dazzling.

Relying on his superior senses and speed after his body and form merged into one, he easily darted past the edges where these divine energies converged.

When passing by an ancient god, the outer human figure simply brushed it with his hand, without needing to use any weapons. Under this powerful force, the ancient god's body was torn apart into a scattering of divine energy like flowing afterglow.

After circling around in an instant, there were very few remaining ancient gods in the arena, and all of them had used large-scale divine methods.

In his vision, he could see the rosy light around him spreading outwards little by little. Then, he turned around and charged into the rosy light with fierce determination.

At this point, the items he had left behind were no longer of any use, so the moment the two made contact, the image of a person outside him began to flicker.

The advantage brought by the superposition of human and human forms is not only that his own qualities are doubled, but also that the changes in his abilities due to the substitution of human forms are extremely rapid.

Now, as long as he is not attacked by two or more supernatural means at the same time, the Outer Appearance can repel the influence imposed on him by constantly dissipating and regrouping.

Because the human figures flickered and changed so rapidly, they almost appeared as ripples spreading in the void.

In just a moment, he arrived in front of the ancient god. He pointed a finger lightly, as if puncturing a reflection in water. The figure opposite him shook violently, then twisted and spread outward layer by layer, finally dissipating into an unrecognizable stream of divine light.

He had already turned to his next target, launching continuous attacks on the remaining ancient gods. The divine energy bursting in the void was like a magnificent firework display, playing out again and again.

The remaining Old Gods were all terrified. They realized something and tried to break free from this field.

However, this was the most difficult part, because Chen Chuan was too fast. So fast that they had barely gained consciousness and hadn't even had time to take action when they lost the ability to control themselves due to the collapse of their physical and mental forms.

In the end, only one old god remained standing there. This was because his divine ability was somewhat special. As long as he was connected with the spirits of others, he would not die until he was completely destroyed. He originally intended to entrust this divine ability to Ge Zhongyi, so that the latter would not be easily killed.

However, this magical technique takes a certain amount of time to use. Just now, Chen Chuan had fought Ge Chongyi to the death several times, and Ge Chongyi had to take precautions in advance, so he was unable to use it. In the end, he used this technique on himself.

He also took the opportunity to use the defensive relic, which was enough to protect himself for several breaths. However, the relic had a drawback: he could not move when it was activated.

At this moment, he seemed to sense something and turned to the side, only to see Chen Chuan standing in the distance with a knife, calmly watching him. He was immediately terrified, knowing that as soon as the ritual field ended, he would surely perish.

Chen Chuan saw his state, and with a thought, a stream of Xuan Kong Fire flew out and surrounded him. At the same time, he reached out and spread his five fingers towards him, and a force field of the Great Azure Sky style instantly spread around.

Fear flashed in the eyes of the ancient god, and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something to beg for mercy.

Chen Chuan remained completely calm. Seeing that the protective power on the body had finally disappeared, he clenched his fist, and the force fields from all directions squeezed towards the center at the same time. The old god was instantly crushed, and wisps of light spilled outward.

At this point, none of the old gods were intact anymore. The scattered divine energy that filled the entire area was like a mixture of colorful rays of light, forming more than a dozen streams of light like long rivers.

Each streak of light contained a strong vitality, because they had only been shattered in form, but were still bound by a god and their consciousness remained. They had not truly perished, and if left unattended, with the abundant energy of this world, they could all be restored in the next instant.

But they no longer had that opportunity.

A glint flashed in Chen Chuan's eyes, and at that moment, a stream of Xuan Kong Fire flew out from behind him and quickly extended outward, igniting all the divine energy of the old gods and finally forming rings of blazing flames that surrounded him.

After eliminating these ancient gods, he felt incredibly refreshed. Almost all the energy he had absorbed in the previous battle had been digested, and once he returned, he could begin another round of rapid improvement.

As he was experiencing these things, another strange sensation suddenly came. He looked up and found that the void in front of him seemed to be slowly dissipating, accompanied by an unprecedentedly strong sense of invasion.
