The figures of Chen Tian and Qingfeng Miao moved so swiftly that their forms were imperceptible. A moment later, a resounding boom echoed through the sky, and both reappeared within everyone's sight.
Below, Sheng Tianyi spoke, "Esteemed elders, can you engage in combat at this level?"
The elders present exchanged glances. They were all cultivators of the Virtual God Realm, yet they couldn't fathom engaging in the kind of battle Chen Tian and Qingfeng Miao were displaying. One elder slowly remarked, "I cannot fight at this level. It's no longer a matter of Virtual God Realm cultivation; it can only be said that the combat power of both sides exceeds their realms."
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
Seeing the elders nod in agreement, Sheng Tianyi himself admitted he couldn't reach such a level of combat. Simultaneously, his curiosity about Chen Tian's identity intensified. Who was he in his previous life?
Curiosity surged, but he suppressed it. Sheng Tianyi didn't want to court death. Some things could be asked, and some things could not; he understood that much.
Qingyao's figure appeared beside Sheng Tianyi. Sheng Tianyi was taken aback before asking, "Are you alright?"
Qingyao replied, "I'm fine, but only he can heal this injury. I can only suppress this bizarre aura, but it's futile. Look at Qingfeng Miao; his entire being is suffused with that strange energy, yet Chen Tian is unaffected. Whether I can recover depends on Chen Tian."
Sheng Tianyi then noticed it too. That's right! Qingfeng Miao had indeed used that bizarre energy. Yet, Chen Tian fought him tooth and nail without being affected. He then looked up at the sky.
At this moment, Chen Tian and Qingfeng Miao's battle had entered a white-hot stage. Chen Tian's fist, enveloped in spiritual energy, swung directly towards Qingfeng Miao's head. Qingfeng Miao pulled his arms wide, instantly blocking Chen Tian's attack. With a twist, he changed his move. His left leg swept out in a spinning kick. Chen Tian's body recoiled, triggering an extreme dodge, and he instantly evaded. The sweeping leg narrowly missed his neck.
Chen Tian then changed his fists into palms and pried Qingfeng Miao's arms apart. He unleashed two palm strikes, hitting Qingfeng Miao squarely in the abdomen. Qingfeng Miao was sent staggering backward. Chen Tian pressed his advantage, his steps carrying him forward. Instantly, a circle of energy appeared beneath his feet, and he appeared before Qingfeng Miao. Qingfeng Miao's lips curled upward as he swung both fists. Simultaneously, his legs spun in a sweeping motion. Chen Tian, knowing he had fallen into a trap, decisively executed a hanging dodge. Qingfeng Miao then stabilized his stance and lunged forward with his fists, imbued with dark energy, towards Chen Tian's head. With a horizontal swing, Chen Tian squatted down, instantly passing beneath the attack. He then clenched his fist and drove it forward. Qingfeng Miao's right hand opened, catching Chen Tian's fist. Chen Tian then pushed off with his legs, and instantly, crescent moon arcs appeared, charging towards Qingfeng Miao's head. Qingfeng Miao slowly swayed his body backward, instantly evading. Chen Tian followed suit, retreating. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Chen Tian looked at Qingfeng Miao and asked, "Is it because of the power of the Evil Spirit Clan that your body has been strengthened?"
"Otherwise? This time, you will truly die!"
"That's not certain! You wish to kill me, but I also wish to kill you. Moreover, I want to drag out the Evil General behind you!"
"You dream. If you want to find my master, you'll have to get past me first!"
Qingfeng Miao's entire body erupted in black flames, and his eyes became even darker. The spiritual seed within Qingfeng Miao gradually turned black, and the phantom phoenix behind him was also rendered into a black phoenix wreathed in black flames.
Chen Tian looked at Qingfeng Miao and said, "Is power truly that important? To obtain power, one even changes their very origin."
Chen Tian couldn't understand why some people lost their original hearts for the sake of power. Wasn't the purpose of power to protect the world? Wasn't the purpose of power to maintain the order of the world? Yet, why did power lead individuals astray?
Qingfeng Miao retorted, "Enough nonsense. In a place where strength dictates everything, power is the most effective method. With power, anything can be achieved. With power, the world is yours. Power is the root of all things."
Chen Tian replied, "You are mistaken. Power is not just that. That is a distorted power. True power is the power to protect the people, to protect the world. That is true power!"
Then, Chen Tian and Qingfeng Miao looked at each other. Black flames coiled around Qingfeng Miao's hands, flowing onto his palms. The black fire phoenix behind him ignited, and black flames erupted from Qingfeng Miao's entire being.
Chen Tian clapped his palms together, and black and white energy flowed on either side. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and white clouds merged.
Sheng Tianyi exclaimed in shock, "Yin-Yang Spiritual Seed? This is impossible! Chen Tian clearly used starlight power before; it must be a Starlight Spiritual Seed!"
"Does this guy have twin spiritual seeds?"
"No, something's not right. I can't sense the special fluctuations of twin spiritual seeds at all. What is going on?"
Qingyao watched silently. She knew Chen Tian's identity, but his spiritual seed was completely different from his previous life, which truly surprised her.
In the cultivation world, everyone was born with a spiritual seed. However, it was possible to be born with not just one, but two – twin spiritual seeds. But such individuals were always geniuses, capable of causing celestial phenomena at birth, thus becoming monstrous disciples or even Holy Sons of major sacred lands.
Chen Tian's hands were entwined with Yin and Yang energies, their black and white forms merging. The dark clouds and white clouds in the sky fused together, one black and one white. As Chen Tian moved his hands, the dark clouds and white clouds in the sky followed suit.
Both sides were gathering strength. This move could be described as each using fifty percent of their power. Qingfeng Miao looked at Chen Tian with astonishment because Chen Tian held Yin-Yang energy. How was this possible? Wasn't he a Starlight Spiritual Seed before?
How could a Starlight Spiritual Seed control Yin-Yang energy? Unless he was a twin spiritual seed, with one being a Yin-Yang Spiritual Seed. Qingfeng Miao looked at Chen Tian. No, it was impossible. He was definitely not a twin spiritual seed. Twin spiritual seeds emitted special fluctuations when activated, and Chen Tian exhibited none. Qingfeng Miao was now uncertain: what kind of spiritual seed did Chen Tian possess?
Each spiritual seed in a cultivator could master one ability. For example, a Starlight Spiritual Seed could control starlight, a Phoenix Spiritual Seed controlled phoenixes, a Sword Dao Spiritual Seed mastered the way of the sword, and a Yin-Yang Spiritual Seed mastered Yin-Yang energy.
However, an individual typically had only one spiritual seed. Twin spiritual seeds were rare, appearing only in supreme prodigies. Chen Tian's spiritual seed's level was known only to Chen Tian himself; no one else could discern it.
Chen Tian and Qingfeng Miao unleashed their attacks simultaneously. Their spells were fully charged. Then, they both looked at each other. A fierce collision was imminent!
