Chen Tian faced the human black demon spider, their eyes meeting. Chen Tian looked at his own body, and decided to stop delaying. He stepped forward, his figure instantly splitting into countless afterimages that surged towards the human black demon spider.
With his longsword in hand, he swung it directly. The human black demon spider, seeing Chen Tian’s move, gripped its whip with one hand and swung it out. The blades on the whip shot towards Chen Tian, while his longsword emanated a nine-colored light.
The weapons collided. The nine-colored longsword met the whip’s blades. Chen Tian spun, a massive nine-colored drill appearing. As the sword advanced, the spider silk whip shattered into fragments. Chen Tian’s longsword then swept towards the human black demon spider.
Seeing this, the human black demon spider instantly dropped its weapon and dodged to the side. But Chen Tian was too fast, arriving before it and its spinning nine-colored drill grinding against its exoskeleton. The human black demon spider retreated rapidly.
Then, the human black demon spider raised its legs and kicked Chen Tian into the air with a bang, momentarily relieving the pressure. Chen Tian then reappeared before the human black demon spider.
The human black demon spider looked at the dent in its chest armor, realizing it had narrowly avoided being breached. Chen Tian looked at the human black demon spider and asked, "Still a little bit short?"
Chen Tian was surprised by the human black demon spider’s formidable defense. The nine-colored longsword in his hand flickered. Chen Tian said, "Time is almost up."
His aura diminished significantly, the nine-colored sword and light vanished, and his eyes returned to their silver-white hue.
The human black demon spider looked at Chen Tian and said, "Time’s up, isn’t it? I want to see how you’ll break my defense now."
"There’s no need. I just need to kill you in one strike. Your shell can no longer be repaired."
As soon as Chen Tian spoke, the human black demon spider's expression turned to shock. The dents and scratches on its shell were irreparable. It then asked, "You, you planned this from the beginning, didn't you?"
Chen Tian nodded. He had no intention of breaking the opponent's defense directly. Instead, he used the powers of the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Ancestor to suppress the repair of its armor. Now, its entire shell was covered in scars. With the ability suppression, its defense was effectively no better than normal armor.
Furthermore, the human black demon spider only had this one layer of exoskeleton. It could not produce new armor, which was why it panicked. Its current shell was no different from ordinary armor.
The human black demon spider's armor was covered in sword marks and dents. Without the ability to repair these injuries, any attack targeting these spots would cause the armor to shatter.
Even the strongest armor would develop cracks or weaknesses under concentrated attacks. Precision and focus could achieve the ultimate goal.
This was Chen Tian's plan. As long as his subsequent attacks landed on the scars and dents, the exoskeleton would shatter on its own.
Cracks would spread with each attack. Chen Tian had devised this strategy from the start and had no fear.
The human black demon spider was now panicking. Its proud defense was rendered useless. Could it still be Chen Tian's opponent? Its escape routes were cut off, and there was no way to flee. Was this a battle to the death?
It made a decision: "Even if I die, I will make you pay a price!"
The spider legs on its back slowly unfurled, transforming into wings. Silver-white energy and light swirled around Chen Tian's back, forming wings. Both of them soared into the sky.
The human black demon spider shot silk-like blades from its palm towards Chen Tian. Chen Tian crossed his arms, and a shield of silver-white light appeared. The silk blades stuck to the shield.
Chen Tian slashed his arms, and silver-white blade energy shot out, severing the opponent's silk into two halves. The human black demon spider then spat out a torrent of silk, fusing it into a shield to block in front of itself.
The blade energy struck the shield, causing an explosion, but a scar appeared on the silk shield.
Chen Tian watched the continuously repairing silk shield. The silk instantly filled the scar. Chen Tian felt a bit troubled.
As long as the opponent kept spitting silk, it could cover and repair the damaged areas. Chen Tian shook his head and said, "I really didn't want to do this, but I have no choice."
If he could regain a little more strength, Chen Tian wouldn't need to use the power of Chen Tian from another world. But now, his attacks were ineffective against the opponent. Chen Tian felt helpless.
Then, Chen Tian slowly opened his hands. Divine fire erupted, a cerulean flame appearing in his palms and merging with his arm. Chen Tian swung his arm, and a massive divine fire blade shot out towards the silk shield.
This time, it struck the shield, igniting a raging inferno. The human black demon spider retreated rapidly as an explosion resounded.
The human black demon spider had intended to use its silk to stall Chen Tian, hoping that if Chen Tian found his attacks unable to break its silk shield, he would stop pursuing. Unexpectedly, Chen Tian also possessed fire elemental abilities, and not just any fire, but divine fire.
The human black demon spider looked at Chen Tian and said, "Who exactly are you? Dragon Clan power, Phoenix Ancestor power, divine fire, elemental mastery, and you're human? These are things no human should possess."
Chen Tian replied, "In my past life, I was not human, but the Divine Lord, the ruler of gods. These things are simple for me."
Silver light flared behind Chen Tian, and the entire sky seemed to transform into a galaxy, dotted with starlight. Countless images appeared above Chen Tian.
The human black demon spider stared at the scene in the sky, stunned. The visions deeply shook its heart, and a voice arose within it.
It then said, "If I choose to surrender to you, will you spare me?"
Chen Tian was taken aback. Why the sudden change? It had just threatened him, and now it wanted to surrender.
Chen Tian collected himself and replied, "Yes, but we must sign a contract. You will then only obey my commands. Do you accept?"
"Yes, but I want to add one condition: I wish to remain outside!"
"Agreed!"
Chen Tian did not hesitate. This condition was acceptable. He recalled that Chen Tian's summoned creatures were recuperating. The human black demon spider's strength was sufficient to protect Chen Tian, and with its abilities, his future path would be much smoother.
With a flick of his hand, an electronic contract instantly appeared and floated before the human black demon spider. The human black demon spider did not hesitate.
It acted to save its life and secure its future. It had no possibility of further evolution; this was its final form. But it did not want to stop here. Since Chen Tian claimed to be the ruler of gods, perhaps following him could lead to its own growth. After all, it believed the visions it had seen were not false.
It then placed its handprint on the contract. A magic circle imprint appeared on Chen Tian's shoulder armor and then vanished. Chen Tian said, "Contract complete!"
He slowly closed his eyes, and his body began to transform. Chen Tian slowly awoke and looked at his surroundings.
Instantly, the human black demon spider appeared before Chen Tian, saying seductively, "Master!"
Chen Tian was stunned and immediately stepped back. "What trick are you playing now? How are you still alive?"
Memories flooded Chen Tian's mind. He was momentarily dazed, then looked at the human black demon spider with shock. "Did you sign a contract with me? As expected of another me, you are so powerful."
The human black demon spider found the greatly changed Chen Tian difficult to accept at first. However, since the contract remained unchanged, it meant Chen Tian was truly its master.
It then said, "Greetings, Master!"
Chen Tian swallowed. He felt an urge he couldn't suppress, due to the human black demon spider's alluring figure. A flame then appeared in Chen Tian's heart, instantly extinguishing the impulse.
Chen Tian sighed and said, "There’s no need for that. You are also a sentient being. Just call me Chen Tian. As for your name, let's call you Chen Mei!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Chen Tian then looked at the contract's contents and was dumbfounded. He touched his forehead and said, "I can't hold back this feeling. How am I supposed to explain this! If my sister found out, she'd want to kill me."
Chen Tian looked at the contract. It included a master-servant relationship in the real world. This meant that when Chen Tian logged out, Chen Mei would also log out and appear in reality. He would then have three women at home. He already had trouble managing his two sisters, and now another one, plus a jealous older sister. Chen Tian felt overwhelmed.
Although Chen Tian knew Qing Ling and Chen Ling would eventually return to the divine realm, Chen Mei was a concrete existence within the game's settings.
This meant that even when the world was liberated, Chen Mei would not be affected and could appear in both the real world and the game world.
Qing Ling and Chen Ling, on the other hand, would return to the divine realm and have no further connection.
As for what Chen Tian would become, he had not yet awakened that memory.
This was all Chen Tian knew for now.
Chen Mei quietly awaited Chen Tian's instructions, without any regrets.
Just as Chen Tian closed his contract interface, another window popped up. Chen Tian was even more exasperated and promptly closed it.
