Chapter 592: Slicing Through the Sky and Splitting the Clouds
With a bang, the area where Chen Chuan exerted his force on the airship burst open, causing the entire airship to shake. He himself fell rapidly downwards.
The roaring wind rushed in, his hair and clothes were whipped back by the strong wind pressure, and clusters of clouds were continuously smashed apart before his eyes.
After falling for a distance, a wisp of crimson light flashed behind him, instantly taking him into a certain Fissure. A vast expanse of light suddenly appeared before him, as if he had merged into it.
It felt like a long time, yet also like just a moment, when the bright light suddenly shattered, and he was back outside. But after only a brief moment, the crimson light carried him again, and he entered another Fissure.
This kind of rapid-as-light shuttle continued several times. When he finally emerged from a Fissure for the last time, he was already above the Ferris Wheel.
At this moment, in his eyes, it was just a swirling vortex of intensely glowing light, with countless white light filaments gushing out and converging on a certain object.
It was a huge entity over two hundred meters tall. The lower half of its body resembled flowing and erupting air currents, dispersing and expanding outwards, while the upper half converged into a mass, like a structure of multiple spiral tentacles, sometimes stretching and contracting, sometimes expanding, even causing the body to shrink and change.
It emitted intense light of different colors from its interior, illuminating the sky and Sea surface in a dazzling array.
The spiral tentacles had multiple glowing, eye-like objects on them, and the body surface was covered with layers of constantly changing air currents, with a texture like flowing liquid. The clouds surrounding it were gathering in an abnormal manner, clustering together to support it above the sea.
The entity seemed to sense something at this moment, its body was tilting upwards, and all the eyes on the spiral tentacles were simultaneously looking up, as if about to do something. Countless flashes of light were rapidly lighting up in the center of numerous spirals, one after another.
But at this moment, on the ground of the Ferris Wheel Building, an invisible Strength suddenly emanated. This Strength soared into the sky, and under the reflection of the vortex, it looked like a pillar of light shooting into the firmament.
At the same time, twelve lights flashed on twelve locations of the peninsula, establishing a close connection with each other.
Pulled by this force, the pillar of light suddenly scattered outwards at its highest point, turning into countless wisps that fell downwards, covering the entity within.
And whether it was the huge vortex, the entity, or the surrounding phenomena, they all came to an abrupt halt for a moment.
Chen Chuan stared intently at the giant entity. He raised his hands, holding the Snow Emperor Blade and lifting it high.
At this moment, his Spirit was more focused than ever before, and under the traction of his strong will, the Strength from another world was drawn down by him, falling directly onto the blade, merging with a certain Strength within the blade, and bursting out with brilliant light.
At this very moment, the time was exactly twelve o'clock, the Second Self behind him instantly returned to its peak state, and that wisp of scarlet smoke also seemed to sense something, adding an unparalleled Strength to his body. The light on the Snow Emperor Blade suddenly surged, instantly extending out more than ten meters!
His Strength and Spirit were elevated to an unprecedented peak at this moment. Trailing behind him were scarlet and white colored clouds, he held the blade light that seemed capable of cleaving the sky and clouds, and descended from the sky with the force of a falling star.
The next moment, this blade struck the very top of the entity with a thunderous crash. The dazzling Blade flash split into the vortex and the top of the massive entity, then extended straight downwards, and finally slammed into the ground with a bang.
Those who were watching from afar seemed to see a slightly curved streak of scarlet and white lightning piercing down from the sky, tearing through the heavy fog and scorching light, striking the ground directly. After a moment of pause, a bright radiance erupted from there, blinding everyone and causing them to instinctively shield their eyes with their hands.
Everyone felt a strong air current coming from the horizon, as if trying to push people backwards. All they could hear was the whistling sound in their ears.
After a long while, when the intense light gradually subsided, everyone opened their eyes again.
Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "Look!"
When everyone looked up, they couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment. The Ferris Wheel, over two hundred meters high and located by the coast, now seemed to have been split in half by an invisible blade, with a Fissure split open in the middle.
After a while, it made creaking sounds, and accompanied by the bending of the supports and the falling of parts, the two semicircular portions slowly separated to the sides. Sparks seemed to flicker in the middle, mixed with the sound of metal twisting and bending. Amidst the rising dust and the continuous shaking of the ground, it finally tilted and fell in the crowd's shocked expressions, crashing down heavily.
The part that landed on the shore stirred up a large amount of dust and debris, making a rumbling sound, while the other part fell into the sea, causing huge columns of water and waves. White foam and waves surged continuously, repeatedly lapping against the shore, and even those in the distance felt the spray on their faces.
At this moment, in all the departments that were paying attention to this battle, the light curtains presented by each Field Entity became shaky and blurred, unable to pry into the specific situation within.
But even so, everyone stared intently, as if not willing to miss a thing. Most of them were anxious and uneasy at this moment, wanting to know the exact situation.
After a long while, the interference finally began to dissipate, the light curtain gradually returned to stability, and as the smoke and mist slowly dissipated, the scene inside was finally fully revealed, and those who saw the scene couldn't help but hold their breathing.
On the ground of that peninsula, there was now a large pit as if struck by a meteorite. It was so large that even the surrounding sea water had flooded in. In the gradually dissipating smoke and dust, there was a figure standing there.
Chen Chuan stood in the pit, maintaining the posture of holding the blade with both hands and slashing down. Around him were wisps of white smoke flying upwards, and a red glow flying around his body.
And opposite him, Wu Qi stood there, with countless compound eyes on his head and Chest staring at him without blinking. Behind him, that even larger Spirit image existed there, as if blocking the view ahead, and countless glowing eyes in the spiral tentacles seemed to be focused on him.
But his gaze met it without fear.
The two sides confronted each other for a while, and the Spirit image seemed to shake slightly. Then, accompanied by a faint, unwilling howl, it slowly dissipated and flowed away in a swirl of air currents.
When the illusion completely disappeared, Wu Qi seemed to regain self-Control, and couldn't help but move slightly, but with just that movement, there was a cracking sound, and a crack opened in his forehead.
What was revealed in the crack was not Mutated Tissue and flesh, but only a patch of dry char.
The crack spread quickly downwards, all the way to the lower part of the body. First, half of his head fell off, then his broad shoulders. His body seemed to be like rotten wood, and pieces fell off.
As the strong feet also broke with a crack, no longer able to support the heavy body, the whole body completely collapsed and fell forward with a crash, and countless scattered, dry fragments smashed out rolling dust.
Seeing that it had completely fallen, Chen Chuan shook his blade and slowly straightened up. At this time, as if under the surge of air currents generated by the collision just now, the sea fog also dispersed unconsciously. Countless gray debris was swept up by the wind, dancing and flying around him like snowflakes.
Further away, Xu Chan and others had already retreated to the periphery when they sensed that the situation was not right, but they did not leave the area.
At this moment, their chests were heaving slightly, watching this shocking scene from a distance, watching the figure standing there holding the blade.
They knew that someone would be responsible for delivering the final blow, but they did not expect that this blow would be made in this way.
To be honest, they almost thought that this mission had failed just now.
After a while, Xu Chan calmed down. He looked at the Ferris Wheel ruins that had been split open, and then looked at Chen Chuan , recalling the earth-shattering slash that was so brave and decisive, and slowly said, "Beautiful!"
Inside the operation command center, everyone witnessed this scene. After a long time, a burst of excited cheers suddenly erupted.
Watchtower's voice sounded in a timely manner: "Detected the disappearance of the Active Consciousness Entity energy field, detected the disappearance of the invasion of unknown objects from the outside world, confirmed to have been eliminated and expelled. According to feedback and assessment from various departments... Operation Horizon, completed."
This triggered an even greater cheer. Commissioner Liang , standing on the second floor, also showed a relaxed expression, relieved of his burden.
However, he immediately straightened his face again. He said in a deep voice: "The Mother Split has not passed yet, all departments must be on their guard."
But this sentence was not harsh.
Everyone agreed loudly, but still had suppressed smiles on their faces.
This time, the Ferris Wheel Corporation Active Consciousness Entity and that entity were eliminated together. Although the Mother Split is still continuing, but even if there are internal threats, can they be greater than these two?
After Commissioner Liang reminded everyone, he didn't continue to say much. He thought for a while and said to the female assistant, "Send a medical team to Old Xu and Captain Chen to check on them, and make sure they are okay."
As long as Third-Limit Martial Artists are alive, their injuries can gradually recover, but after all, they have been in close contact with that kind of existence, and it is difficult to say whether there are any hidden dangers, so they still need to be carefully examined.
He paused and said, "Tell them to take care of themselves. They are all pillars of Da Shun. After this matter is over, I will personally request credit for them."
