Atlas of Heaven and Man

The other side of the rift.

After Astrid fled in, due to the loss of her equipment and the sensing hooks on her armor, it was difficult for her to accurately find her way back on her own. She had to rely on the signal coming from the other side.

At this moment, she closed her eyes and tried to breathe deeply, fully sensing the rifts that appeared from time to time around her, saying in her heart, "Hurry, hurry..."

This was the side of the rift, inherently a part of the rift itself. The depths behind her might even connect to another world, and every moment she lingered could expose her to danger.

And at this very moment, she actually felt her body was suffering some kind of unknown invasion.

It was fine when she had the armor to protect her, but she had been forced to abandon it to escape, leaving her completely exposed in this territory.

She believed Sigrid would definitely find a way to bring her back. Not to mention the company implant in her body couldn't be lost, the company would never give up the data from this battle.

Just then, she suddenly felt as if something was awakening in the distance behind her, which caused a sense of panic to rise from the depths of her heart.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Just as she was extremely anxious, she suddenly felt a familiar signal fluctuation coming from a rift that had opened in front of her. Without any hesitation, she leaped towards it.

Just before leaving, she glanced back, seemingly wanting to identify what it was, but all she could see was a vast expanse of white light.

And just a few kilometers away from where she had been, Miyagi Nagahide's headless body lay there, his head falling not far away.

The tentacle that had dragged him in was缠绕缠绕 around his body. It seemed to be some kind of octopus-like plant, its tentacles drilling into his body and head, as if sucking something.

But after a while, the thing began to tremble violently. It could be seen that its own fluid was actually flowing backwards into Miyagi Nagahide's body, trying to break free but unable to.

In just a few minutes, the thing became pale and withered, finally lying motionless on top of him.

A moment later, from the severed necks on both sides of Miyagi Nagahide, strands of tentacle-like flesh sprouts extended out, then stretched outwards, slowly exploring.

They seemed to be attracted to each other, and finally touched, then his head was dragged back to his body bit by bit.

After about a few more minutes, Miyagi Nagahide suddenly opened his eyes. The original empty gaze slowly regained its brilliance, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He brushed away the withered tentacles on his body and stood up from the spot.

He moved his neck, and the last bit of bloodstain there quickly disappeared.

At this moment, his aura was more powerful than before, his eyes became incomparably deep, and faint black smoke emerged from outside his body, while his loose hair grew to his back, covering most of his face in front.

The secret art of the Wind Forest Hall, the Art of Feeding the Ghost God!

The spiritual power gathered by the Wind Forest Hall is not used to attack people, but to store and feed the ghosts of the Wind Forest. Especially the core disciples of the Wind Forest Hall who have been to the Ghost Gate will nurture a second consciousness within their bodies.

When one's own body suffers serious injuries that cause one consciousness to disappear, the other consciousness will take over the body and do everything possible to repair it, so that it can come back to life.

After experiencing this transformation, one will achieve a "Ghost Body", and the strength will be even greater than before. Especially in terms of spiritual power, there will be significant progress, but this is exchanged for the price of a "death tribulation".

And after the Ghost Body, there is still the Heavenly Body to overcome. When the Heavenly, Human, and Ghost are all overcome, and the Divine Body is complete, then one can truly embark on the path of the Sword Sect.

To complete this process, one needs both a strong and powerful opponent, and the body after being killed must not be excessively damaged, so the conditions are actually very harsh.

Since returning from the Ghost Gate of the Wind Forest Hall, Miyagi Nagahide has not yet encountered an opponent who can kill himself on the outer ocean, so this time he came directly to the central city of Jibei Province, taking the opportunity of the opening of the Heavenly Gate to find opportunities, and the first one he found was Chen Chuan.

He brought four junior brothers with him this time, also to ensure to some extent that the body left behind was largely intact.

Judging from the current situation, he should have fallen to the other side of the rift. His four junior brothers were not able to fulfill his entrustment.

He glanced at the withered tentacles on the ground and smiled, but the result was good.

At this moment, his cheeks became extremely thin, and this smile was like that of a demon.

The human body is gone, and the ghost body replaces it. This is not without a price. The human and ghost combine, using up all the essence and blood, to perfect themselves, but also in exchange for stronger strength.

He felt the flickering rift in front of him, and with his higher level of spiritual power, he sensed the correct path after a moment. He took a step forward, and with a flash, he had already walked out of the rift and stood on a street.

But this was not the original place. He leaped to a high place, identified the buildings, and compared them with the map in his mind, then identified the direction and ran towards it.

Before long, he arrived at the place where they had fought before, but it was already empty. There were only a few pools of blood on the ground and a broken knife stuck in the ground.

He didn't sense Liu Ruo's presence here, so he decisively left and returned to the vehicle he had arrived in.

He walked up, grabbed the car's handlebar, tore the entire car door off and threw it aside. Then, he took out a cross-shaped spear from inside, spun it in his hand, and slammed it onto the ground with a bang.

This cross spear is called "Ghost Dance" and is the most suitable weapon to use after achieving a Ghost Body.

After the Ghost Body comes the pursuit of the Heavenly Body.

He rummaged around in the car again, took out a briefcase, and opened it to reveal a round-headed flying insect.

The antennae in front of the insect swayed, as if sensing something. It flapped its wings and slowly flew into the distance against the strong wind. He glanced at it and followed.

Inside the command center, Commissioner Liang and the others watched Chen Chuan walk up to Chang Kuanghai, their expressions serious. It could be said that they were all paying attention to this battle.

To be honest, they didn't expect Chen Chuan to defeat Chang Kuanghai. As long as he could hold him back, others could arrive and retrieve the split sub-body.

It was really difficult to accurately judge who was stronger between Gong Yingchangxiu and Chang Kuanghai, because the battle between fighters depended not only on their own foundation and combat literacy, but also on their respective styles and even on-the-spot decisions.

Chen Chuan could win against Gong Yingchangxiu, but that didn't necessarily mean he could defeat Chang Kuanghai. This was because the latter practiced "Heaven's Wrath Fist," and his strong horizontal training was used to charge into battle and kill generals on the battlefield. It couldn't be said that Chang Kuanghai was definitely stronger than Gong Yingchangxiu in terms of hard power, but he was definitely the most difficult to deal with.

Although the reaction team members who had just arrived had been killed, there were still domain creatures left in the nearby vehicles, enough to transmit and communicate information.

A prompt quickly appeared on Chen Chuan's Boundary Device. He glanced at it and already knew what to do. He looked up at the tall figure in front of him and said, "Are you saying that you are waiting for me here?"

Chang Kuanghai said in a deep voice, "You should remember Wei Wusheng. He and I came from the same school."

Chen Chuan nodded. After seeing that the information showed that the other party came from the Heaven's Wrath Gang, he had this guess. However, the other party's so-called waiting for him should not only be for revenge, but may also be for the same purpose as him.

Chang Kuanghai then said, "You should have felt that when the Gate of Heaven opens, fighters like us need suitable opponents to climb to the peak, but opponents are hard to find."

He paused slightly, "My teacher watched your battle with Junior Brother Wei and made a judgment at the time that you would be able to fight me in less than two years."

He looked at Chen Chuan and said in a deep voice, "The old man was not wrong. If possible, I would like to give you more time, but the time is coming, and I can't wait any longer."

Chen Chuan looked at him, and the huge crack behind him. He took out the Xue Jun Saber, drew it out again, and said sincerely, "Mr. Chang, it's really unfortunate. I have something to deal with today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you for too long."

At this moment, behind them, a team of company mercenaries arrived nearby and found a high position to squat down.

Not far away was the largest and most stable crack in the central city, and there must be a split sub-body here. That was their goal.

At this moment, they extended their guns and aimed them at the two people in the distance. Although these two were Third Limit fighters, remote firearms could still hit them.

It was not the time to act now, because the two people in front were undoubtedly still preserving their complete combat power. Besides, there were other company mercenary teams nearby, which were competitors, so they had to carefully choose the timing to attack.

Chang Kuanghai reached out and grabbed the axe stuck aside, and pulled it up. The axe was about the same height as him, more than three meters long, and looked very heavy, but he felt it was as light as a feather in his hand, and he stepped down from the height.

Chen Chuan raised the Xue Jun Saber and greeted him.

After Chang Kuanghai came down, when the two sides got a little closer, he held the long axe in one hand and swung it at him. Suddenly, a strong sound of breaking through the air came, the air seemed to explode, snowflakes fluttered, and everything in front of him seemed to be split open.

Chen Chuan lowered his center of gravity, separated his feet back and forth, and held the Xue Jun Saber in both hands and blocked it upwards!

The two weapons collided together, and a gust of air shot out from the two people, completely blowing away the snow on the ground.

Chang Kuanghai was a little surprised to see him blocking it without taking a step back. Since he had completed his horizontal training, he had never seen anyone who could face his axe force head-on except his master Yu Hongming.

A smile appeared on his long face. This kind of strong power and this kind of fighting style were exactly the opponent he was looking forward to.

"Good!"

He shouted with full energy, and swung the axe again, a reverberation, and once again roared and chopped!
