Dark Night Snowstorm charged towards the elf player named Dein Ailiya, when suddenly a sun-like giant fireball engulfed his vision.
The immense fireball seemed to cover a hundred-mile radius, and it hurtled directly towards Dark Night Snowstorm.
Dark Night Snowstorm frantically checked himself; all his clones were within the fireball's range.
How is this possible? A level thirty player, how could they possess such powerful elemental mastery? This mastery is at least comparable to a Divine Monarch-level boss!
"Impossible, how can you have such powerful elemental mastery!"
Dark Night Snowstorm looked at Dein Ailiya with fear, the elf was too terrifying.
The Elf race, the Elemental Elf race, the stronger their elemental mastery, the greater the power and range of their skills, with some ordinary skills even comparable to ultimate moves.
Elemental mastery requires constant practice to improve, and the size of the fireball he saw was something he had only witnessed from Divine Monarch-level bosses.
This meant that the player named Dein Ailiya before him had elemental mastery comparable to a Divine Monarch-level boss.
It was too terrifying; he even felt that his decision to act was foolish.
The giant sun-like fireball instantly incinerated countless clones, and at the same time, the fireball enveloped Dark Night Snowstorm's main body.
Dark Night Snowstorm said with a fierce expression, "Kid, I remember you, prepare for my revenge!"
The fireball exploded instantly. Facing the immense fire element, his armor was already burned to ashes. The power of the explosion directly cleared his health bar.
Chen Tian, as an elf, had skill mastery values several thousand higher than other stats, so instantly killing the opponent was within expectation.
At the same time, Chen Tian looked at his panel; his score was displayed as 13 points, meaning Chen Tian had gained three points.
Then, Chen Tian lowered his hand, and a panel appeared before him, displaying the score rankings.
The first place had clearly reached over a thousand points, while the gap between third and fifth place was only a few points.
Chen Tian then closed the score leaderboard, feeling a flicker of interest. This was the real fun of the game.
He continued walking through the forest, the Green Canopy Azurewood, a peculiar forest. The trees in this forest had azure bodies and azure patterns, but their leaves were green. From the outside, it looked like a lush green jungle, but upon entering, Chen Tian noticed its uniqueness.
The azure tree trunks had wavy patterns, and light reflected off them, making it feel as if players were in the ocean.
A vast azure ocean seemed to appear before his eyes, feeling incredibly real.
Simultaneously, Chen Tian's senses tingled, and a green light shot from behind his head towards him.
Chen Tian merely dodged slightly, his neck twitching. This beam of light missed, but when it struck the azure tree trunk, it vanished.
Chen Tian looked around strangely, where did the attack come from? It was so bizarre, as there were no creatures visible.
"Could it be!"
Chen Tian suddenly thought of something. He instantly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his pupils had turned azure white.
Then, he looked around. This was a skill Chen Tian had comprehended during the battle between the Fire God and the Water God.
Skill: Divine Eye.
It was a divine-level skill capable of seeing through all illusions and analyzing and probing.
It was this skill he had used to see through the battle between the Fire God and the Water God giants.
Chen Tian had mastery over all professions, so the skills he comprehended could be used by any class, though the effects would vary.
As Chen Tian observed, he immediately spotted a peculiar tree, from which countless beams of light shot out and entered the wavy patterns of the surrounding trees.
Chen Tian rejoiced, he had found it.
So it was here!
Chen Tian instantly formed his hands into blades, and formidable flames spewed out, forming flame blades on his hands.
Chen Tian slashed twice, and the terrifying flames seemed intent on burning down the giant tree before him.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
A sound instantly echoed in Chen Tian's ears. The giant tree actually shook, and before Chen Tian's eyes appeared, a colossal treant.
The treant was composed of branches and leaves, its feet formed by interwoven vines, with an azure patterned body and a massive tree-like form. Terrifying eyes opened in the center of its tree-body.
Instantly, Chen Tian's eyes displayed the monster's information.
Chen Tian was astonished. Did this divine-level skill have this capability? Would he not need to check the attribute panel in the future?
"So that's how it is! It seems the entire forest is your territory!"
Chen Tian suddenly understood. No wonder there were no monsters here; it was all the work of the treant before him!
However, looking at the treant's level and attribute panel, Chen Tian was not worried. It was just a minor boss, easy to defeat.
Instantly, two fireballs shot from his hands, and the terrifying heat incinerated countless trees and vines. Leaves burned, and the ground cracked.
Fire naturally counters wood in the five elements, so fire-elemental attacks would have an additional bonus.
The treant looked at the fireballs Chen Tian threw. Its branches slowly elongated, burrowing into the ground. Instantly, a massive chunk of earth was lifted by the branches. The branches moved as if alive, possessing flexibility and softness.
The two fireballs struck the earth chunk directly, exploding moments later.
Chen Tian was greatly alarmed. It actually had thinking capabilities. This little monster would not be easy to deal with, but as a monster for an anniversary event, it should have something special.
Chen Tian was not disappointed. He clenched his fists, and immense flames formed dual blades.
Ability: Flame Transformation.
Instantly, Chen Tian's dual blades unleashed dozens of flame blade energies, with terrifying power and scorching heat.
Skill: Blade Light Sword Shadow.
As a player proficient in all professions, Chen Tian could unleash the skills of any profession as long as he had the appropriate weapon and attributes.
As a "cold-hearted" individual, he wouldn't be bothered by racial mechanics; this was a great privilege of the "cold-hearted."
Since the skill was cast by an elf, the attack would have elemental properties attached, and its power would be reduced.
But Chen Tian never expected to one-shot it. The opponent's level and health were insufficient for him to one-shot it. Furthermore, the opponent had thinking capabilities, so it was uncertain if this move would even hit.
The terrifying flame blade energies continuously surged towards the treant. Seeing the countless flame blade energies approaching, the Blue Pattern Tree Demon's azure patterns on its body glowed even more clearly.
Countless blue lights, like leaves, shot towards the blade energies, but the blue lights were like water droplets, producing steam.
Skill: Water Leaf Skyfall.
Chen Tian watched the opponent; calmly provoking him seemed interesting. He didn't mind playing a bit longer.
The flames in his hands instantly turned into ice-blue ice blocks, and two massive ice cones appeared in his hands, which were then launched.
From both sides, followed by two fireballs.
Chen Tian wanted to see what the opponent's skills were like.
He was not in a hurry anyway; it was a good opportunity to adapt to the elf state.
The colossal ice cones radiated a chill like an ice cave, with snowflakes scattering in their wake. The crimson flames, carrying terrifying heat, instantly turned the snowflakes into steam.
The Blue Pattern Tree Demon watched the opponent's attack, its feet sinking into the ground, and its branches burrowing into the earth.
Suddenly, numerous azure trees slowly shifted, forming a forest shield in front of the Blue Pattern Tree Demon.
Skill: Forest Shield.
The ice cones and fireballs struck the trees, only causing them to freeze or char; they didn't even break through.
As Chen Tian was about to prepare his next move, countless vines suddenly emerged from underground, entwining and binding him.
Chen Tian was surprised by its high level of intelligence.
It thought of attacking from underground and defending from the front as counter-attack methods.
Chen Tian watched the increasingly tight vines, exerting all his strength, but the elf's greatest weakness was their inability to withstand such control skills.
This was because elves had very low strength attributes; such control skills required immense strength to break free.
"This won't do. With my elf form's strength stats, resisting is useless. I'd rather use elemental combustion to burn my entire body!"
"Burn!"
"Boom!"
Flames erupted from Chen Tian's body, making him look like a human torch covered in fire.
Simultaneously, the vines binding Chen Tian gradually loosened. Seeing this move's effectiveness, Chen Tian instantly intensified the flames.
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for comprehending the elf skill: Self-Divine Combustion!"
Chen Tian ignored the electronic voice in his mind. The flames instantly reached their peak, and Chen Tian's entire body erupted like a towering pillar of fire, shooting towards the sky.
Though it only reached a height of a few hundred meters, Chen Tian had broken free from the bindings.
Chen Tian, engulfed in roaring flames, instantly charged towards the Blue Pattern Tree Demon's forest shield.
Upon impact, countless flames exploded, and a sea of fire erupted behind Chen Tian, surging towards the opponent's forest shield.
The terrifying flames, carrying immense explosive power, instantly blasted a hole. As Chen Tian was about to enter, branches shot out from the trees like sharp thorns, piercing towards him.
Chen Tian remained unfazed, instantly engulfing his entire body in flames, burning all the thorns. Chen Tian looked at the opening before him and instantly charged through the gap.
While the opponent hadn't repaired it yet, Chen Tian had a chance to enter and one-shot it.
Once Chen Tian entered the forest shield, the surrounding trees instantly formed a perimeter, encircling the forest shield.
Chen Tian arrived before the Blue Pattern Tree Demon. At this moment, the Blue Pattern Tree Demon appeared very weak. It was impossible for it to have emerged unscathed from taking Chen Tian's ultimate move.
Just as Chen Tian was about to step forward, it instantly grew dark. Chen Tian looked up; the surroundings were all trees. He had fallen into a trap; this guy had done it intentionally.
Chen Tian instantly understood. The monster before him had done this deliberately, to lure him in and form a encirclement.
The Blue Pattern Tree Demon looked at Chen Tian indifferently, then its tree bark slowly peeled off, transforming into three azure spinning boomerangs.
The boomerangs spun at high speed, and where the Blue Pattern Tree Demon had been, only a small sapling remained.
Chen Tian looked at the sapling, which was the true body. If this sapling was killed, the opponent would be dealt with.
Chen Tian didn't know what the opponent intended, but he wanted to finish it quickly. As he moved, three azure boomerangs attacked from three directions.
Chen Tian looked at these three boomerangs. How dare mere boomerangs try to harm him? With a sweeping kick of his left leg and a full body spin, he gently tapped with his left hand.
Instantly, the three boomerangs seemed to be batted away, flying towards the forest. But a strange thing happened.
When the boomerangs touched the tree trunks, they vanished. They reappeared simultaneously from Chen Tian's left.
And this time, it was just one boomerang, its size, rotation speed, and power increased by fourfold.
Chen Tian was surprised. Then, he extended his hands, his palms touching the boomerang. But suddenly, the boomerang split into three, heading towards Chen Tian's neck in a drifting trajectory.
Chen Tian's palms missed. The inertia prevented him from steadying himself instantly. Flames instantly engulfed his body, and the boomerang's trick changed again. It flew past Chen Tian's side, rotated towards the tree trunks around, and the three boomerangs vanished once more.
Chen Tian's scalp tingled. This combat style was exactly like a player's. This made him hesitant to act rashly.
Due to the opponent's characteristics and abilities, Chen Tian absolutely dared not let its skills hit him.
Chen Tian could only remain vigilant of his surroundings. The trees with azure patterns were everywhere. Chen Tian felt as if he were imprisoned in the ocean.
Three beams of light instantly shot towards Chen Tian from different directions. Chen Tian quickly defended as he saw the opponent's attacks coming.
But each time Chen Tian knocked away a boomerang, its rotation speed and power increased, and the surrounding tree trunks acted like mirrors. Light reflected off them, and when a boomerang approached, it would be absorbed and attack from another direction.
It was as if these trees served as teleporters for the boomerangs, allowing them to appear and disappear from anywhere.
Chen Tian couldn't guard against it. The increasing number of attacks made his defense increasingly passive.
Countless azure lights flashed within this forest prison. It was unclear whether the boomerangs had multiplied or if their speed was too great.
Chen Tian's movements became increasingly passive. Suddenly, a boomerang propelled Chen Tian's body.
Instantly, Chen Tian's figure was in a completely passive situation. Countless boomerangs left Chen Tian unable to control his body, and his body moved constantly, propelled by the boomerangs.
His health was slowly declining, and his armor was dropping rapidly. Even restoring durability couldn't keep up; the attack speed was too fast.
Chen Tian couldn't even see clearly; his vision would flicker, and he would appear in another location.
Chen Tian calmed down at this moment. Such a skill must have a flaw; he had to think carefully about how to break it.
Looking at his health bar turning from green to purple, Chen Tian knew the opponent's abilities and characteristics were effective. If he didn't resolve this quickly, he would be the one to die first.
Countless images flashed through Chen Tian's mind, and one image suddenly froze.
Chen Tian gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take the risk. I never expected to use this move against such a small monster, what a loss!"
"Ice-Fire Blazing Kill!"
As Chen Tian spoke, immense cold air flowed from his left side, while terrifying heat swept from his right. Two different attributes occupied half of Chen Tian's body each.
Simultaneously, the cold air affected the surrounding air, freezing it instantly. The boomerangs, affected by the cold air, had their speed slightly reduced, while the terrifying heat caused the surrounding air to ignite.
Instantly, Chen Tian seemed to be in a state of extreme ice and fire. Stretching out his body, countless ice and fire spikes extended from his body.
Instantly, Chen Tian transformed into a porcupine covered in spikes, but these were ice and fire spikes.
Composed of fire and ice, the ice and fire spikes instantly pierced through the forest. The dense spikes caused the boomerangs to collide with them.
The entire prison became like an ice and fire forest.
As the ice and fire spikes slowly shrunk, Chen Tian's figure emerged from the ice and fire.
Chen Tian looked at the small sapling beneath his feet and, without hesitation, brought down his blade.
However, it didn't die after enduring his ultimate move. With 2% health remaining, it proved the event was not simple, and this was just a minor monster.
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for defeating the mutated monster: Blue Pattern Tree Demon and gaining 17,000 experience points."
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for defeating the mutated monster and receiving a reward: 3 points."
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for timely defeating the mutated monster and receiving an item: Pattern Mirror."
Chen Tian listened to the electronic voice in his mind. He even got points. It seemed the anniversary event was quite well-designed, with monsters awarding points. This would reduce conflict between players, though it was a bit little.
However, Chen Tian didn't mind. He believed the boss of this anniversary event would definitely not disappoint him.
With the resolution of the Blue Pattern Tree Demon, the forest returned to its normal appearance. It was all the Blue Pattern Tree Demon's doing; the trees in this area were not originally like this.
It was only assimilated by the Blue Pattern Tree Demon, which was why there were no other monsters here; only it existed alone.
And now that Chen Tian had dealt with the Blue Pattern Tree Demon, the forest had recovered.
Chen Tian looked at the normal forest before him, feeling there was nothing else to linger for. But just as he was about to leave,
A bright light caught Chen Tian's eye. It was a ring with an egg-shaped ornament on it.
Chen Tian suddenly approached the ring and clicked on it.
Instantly, the ring's information appeared before Chen Tian.
Pet Ring: Provides space for cultivating pets. It contains a tree elf pet egg, which can be hatched using wood elemental energy.
Chen Tian looked at the ring and then put it on his hand. Pets were a unique gameplay element in games.
But in the game Chrono Epoch, the pet system was even rarer. The reason was simple: players could freely create skills, powerful classes, weapons, equipment, and heaven-defying attributes. Therefore, the pet system was even more monstrous.
Hence, it was even rarer. In Chrono Epoch, pets could evolve freely and infinitely. As for what they would evolve into and to what extent depended on how the player nurtured them.
The ninety-ninth floor, ten people looking at each other, utterly speechless.
"I'm jealous. One of the top ten divine pets, and it appeared from this small monster."
"Done for. I knew he'd be overpowered, so the monsters in this event were designed to have thinking abilities, but I didn't expect him to show up as an elf player so quickly."
"Also, a divine-level skill, another divine-level skill! I believe everyone present only has five divine-level skills! How long has he been playing? In real-world time, it's only been one night!"
"Uh!!"
Everyone listening felt like their years of playing the game had been wasted, being so frustrated by one person.
"Boss, what do we do?"
"What else can we do? We thought this event could limit him, but who knew it would turn out like this. Just ignore it."
Then, one figure disappeared. The remaining nine figures also vanished simultaneously. They were jealous.
"Alas! Let's just hope he doesn't mess up this entire event by himself, otherwise, it will be truly exhausting!"
Then the nine figures left the area. They couldn't bear to look anymore; the more they looked, the angrier they became.
Ever since they started paying attention to the character Dein Ailiya, the more they watched, the more jealous and angry they became. It was better to go hunt monsters and level up their strength.
Chen Tian walked out of the forest, and instantly, over a dozen players appeared around him.
Their levels were all around thirty to thirty-five. Chen Tian's expression turned cold.
"Haha! Kid, I told you I would get my revenge! Everyone, this is an elf player who appeared in the human event zone. He's worth over ten points! Especially since reviving after death adds an extra ten points, three times is thirty points."
Dark Night Snowstorm fanned the flames, but the lure of points did its job. The players' eyes fixated on Dein Ailiya, the elf player.
It was as if they were ready to attack and kill him at any moment.
Chen Tian also felt a flicker of anger. Having just finished a battle, the elf emblem's buff meant he had no consumption, only skill cooldowns.
But Chen Tian was not afraid of these players.
"Bullying a newcomer with so many people, what's so great about that? Come at me one by one, I'll fight you solo. Little brother, don't worry, I'll definitely protect you."
A resonant voice rang out, a purple lightning flash appeared, and a figure materialized before Chen Tian, blocking the onlookers' view.
It was a slightly plump figure, wearing purple lightning-patterned armor. A long sword was strapped to his back, and terrifying lightning emanated from it.
Chen Tian also clicked on the other party's information.

Chen Tian's mouth twitched. What a name! 21523 Number Brother, truly a numeric name.
But he was an Elemental Swordsman, which Chen Tian found novel and sparked an idea he wanted to try.
Elemental Swordsman was a branch of sword professions. Their sword techniques could apply elemental attacks, but due to the elements, their skills consumed Elemental Sword Qi.
Once this value reached zero, they couldn't cast skills, and recovery required absorbing corresponding elemental energy.
This was the advantage and flaw of the Elemental Swordsman. Elemental Swordsman was an elemental enhancement of the Swordsman profession.
Both melee attacks and skills could carry elemental power attacks, and different elemental enhancements had different effects.
For example, the Number Brother before him possessed lightning elemental power. Lightning was extremely dominant, and its enhanced effects were Rend and Armor Pierce.
Rend could inflict a bleeding buff on the target.
Armor Pierce was a buff that ignored the target's armor.
