Chen Tian gazed at the space before him, and then Yu Tian's figure slowly appeared, his entire form emerging behind Chen Tian like a vortex. The twin scythes in his hands swung out directly. Chen Tian parried with a horizontal block, and the long halberd scraped against the scythes. Chen Tian flung his halberd, sending Yu Tian's entire figure flying backward. As he retreated, Yu Tian's figure once again formed a vortex, his entire body twisting and then vanishing.
Chen Tian vigilantly scanned his surroundings. Yu Tian's ability was a form of void concealment, undetectable by sensing the heavens and earth. Chen Tian could only fight based on his instincts. Chen Tian's left leg lashed out, lifting slightly and seeming to connect with something. A "peng" sound echoed in Chen Tian's ears as his figure retreated.
Images flashed through Chen Tian's mind. Then, he thought of something – he still had that skill to use! He had completely forgotten about the skills from the all-class mastery game. Chen Tian only remembered now.
Chen Tian opened his eyes, exhaling a puff of turbid air. His hands formed claws, and his entire body erupted with radiance. Where the light touched, Yu Tian's figure appeared before Chen Tian. Yu Tian's expression froze as he saw himself revealed. He tried to twist his form, but found he couldn't. Chen Tian looked at Yu Tian before him and said, "There's nothing you can do now, is there?"
Yu Tian showed no expression. The twin scythes swung directly towards Chen Tian. Chen Tian's long halberd was immediately enshrouded in golden light. Then, the three leaves on the halberd closed together, and a spear appeared in his hand.
Chen Tian's arm charged with power, and he then threw the spear, sending it flying towards Yu Tian. Yu Tian's twin scythes gained a black sheen as he swung them, unleashing countless liquid-like black blade energies that collided with Chen Tian's spear.
Chen Tian's attack and Yu Tian's attack collided, creating an explosion. Chen Tian clenched his hand, and the spear returned to his grasp. Simultaneously, he swung the spear again, countless spear shadows thrusting out, forming a dense, dazzling array. These were not illusory but solid spear shadows. Chen Tian unleashed dozens of attacks per second.
Yu Tian reacted swiftly. As Chen Tian made his move, he had already prepared his counter. The scythes slowly straightened from their curved state, transforming into dual blades. The dual blades swung, and black blade energies shot out.
Chen Tian observed their respective skills, finding them largely similar. He ceased his attack, and the spear in his hand transformed into a golden trident. Chen Tian's figure flickered and flashed, knowing that the duration of this power was nearing its end.
The weapon in his hand instantly dissolved into fragments. A golden clover pattern appeared on Chen Tian's palm. He clapped his palms together, and instantly, a blue-gold current appeared between them, continuously forming a new energy.
Chen Tian decided to end the battle with one decisive blow. The current energy could not sustain a prolonged fight. The appearance of the universe materialized in Chen Tian's hands, its volume continuously expanding to envelop his entire body. Chen Tian endured the pain; this power was too immense for him to fully control.
Yet, Chen Tian persevered. He did not know what this power was, but it was overwhelmingly strong. At his full exertion, his entire body began to crack, as if it could explode at any moment.
Witnessing Chen Tian's actions and the phenomenon, Yu Tian's expression turned grim. This strike was his opponent's full power, and he could not withstand it. Yu Tian knew what this power was, a power he absolutely could not resist.
The power of the universe was infinite; its strength matched the vastness of the cosmos. The universe encompassed worlds, galaxies, and more. Such power was beyond Yu Tian's capacity to bear.
Chen Tian slowly spread his arms, his body forming a cross. Then, the cosmic energy body shot out from Chen Tian's form, the vast universe hurtling towards Yu Tian.
Yu Tian had no chance to dodge. He could only watch as his body was engulfed by the cosmic energy body, his form dissipating completely.
As the cosmic energy dissipated, Chen Tian appeared weak, the golden barrier around him vanishing. Pigeon had been waiting outside, growing anxious. Chen Tian must not be harmed.
The moment the barrier disappeared, Pigeon was overcome with worry. But seeing Chen Tian emerge in the sky, unharmed, Pigeon breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Tian walked over to Pigeon and said, "Let's go back. This place needs to be sealed for a while. I'll leave it to you, Pigeon."
"Okay!"
Pigeon understood what Chen Tian meant and immediately made a call, speaking a few words before hanging up. Chen Tian and Pigeon then headed towards the exit.
Outside the gate, Chen Xue and Long Xueer stood, watching the entrance. The moment the gate opened, Long Xueer rushed out and threw herself into Pigeon's arms, tears welling in her eyes. "Brother, are you alright!"
"I'm fine!"
Pigeon stroked his sister's head. Chen Xue approached Chen Tian, and they exchanged a look, understanding what the other intended to convey, nodding in agreement.
Chen Tian looked at Pigeon and said, "Pigeon, I didn't expect Long Xueer to be your sister! I really didn't. You both have the surname Long. Keep up the good work, you're doing great."
Pigeon smiled wryly. "Chen Tian, stop teasing me. Don't you have sisters too? And more than me?"
"Chen Tian, what sisters? And many? Explain yourself!"
"Ow, ow, ow! Sister, it hurts!"
Chen Xue grabbed Chen Tian's ear and pulled him aside. Chen Tian cried out in pain, lamenting how strong his sister's grip was. Logically, he shouldn't feel pain.
How could this be? Was it still due to some psychological trauma? Chen Tian didn't understand.
Finally, Chen Xue calmed down after Chen Tian's explanation. She asked with concern, "Little brother, it looks like this anniversary competition will be delayed. Let's go home. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
After speaking, Chen Xue grabbed Long Xueer and the other girl, and they went shopping, leaving Chen Tian and Pigeon. What? They had been brought here from afar, only for them to leave first? Chen Tian and Pigeon exchanged a look.
Chen Tian said, "Want to wander around? It's been a while since I've been to Kyoto. How about we go together?"
"Sure."
As soon as Pigeon finished speaking, his phone rang. Pigeon answered, his expression turning serious. After hanging up, Pigeon apologized, "Sorry, Chen Tian, I have official business. I really don't have time to accompany you."
Chen Tian understood Pigeon's situation. Pigeon's job rarely allowed for rest. Chen Tian said, "It's alright, go ahead. I'll wander around by myself. I'm not afraid of them anymore anyway."
"Them?"
Pigeon looked up at the sky. He had already investigated Chen Tian's identity and his affairs. But now, Chen Tian truly seemed to fear no threat.
Pigeon's figure vanished. Chen Tian looked at the bustling Kyoto and silently stepped into it.
