Chen Tian looked at the information before him. It was a colossal whale, approximately seven hundred meters in size, casting a shadow over him. Its skin was entirely black, and its tail was covered in sharp spikes that exuded a strange aura.
Chen Tian barely glanced at the boss. It was too weak. Even if it hadn't been assimilated by the Evil Spirit race yet, it was still too weak.
Chen Tian formed a claw with his hand, and a gust of azure wind materialized into a wind blade. He extended his arm, and the wind blade sliced through. With a *pfft*, the sound of flesh being cut echoed, and the Black Blue Giant Whale was instantly killed.
It was important to note that Chen Tian's current system realm was calculated according to the Sacred God Realm's system, allowing him to use all his abilities. In game mode, he could only use game abilities. Within this special space, Chen Tian could switch system modes, but not once he left.
However, this elite boss was too simple for Chen Tian. As he killed the Black Blue Giant Whale, an interface popped up, displaying the boss rewards. Chen Tian paid it no mind, but upon hearing the reward of an Ocean Heart, he couldn't help but smile faintly.
Seven Ocean Hearts. He now needed six more to complete the mission. Then, he could leave the fourth level and head to the fifth. Based on Chen Tian's current experience reserves, once he broke through the upper limit and his experience was reset, it should be enough to reach Blue Ling Level sixty.
The highest level cap on the fifth floor was Blue Ling Level thirty, and on the sixth floor, it was Blue Ling Level thirty-five. The further one went, the higher the world's level restrictions became, and the slower players could level up.
For Chen Tian, the higher his level, the faster his fusion progress would be. Coupled with the fact that experience could be stored in this mode, Chen Tian had no worries about insufficient experience. He had a plan in mind; if time became a constraint, he would have to resort to that.
Chen Tian turned to face the heart behind him, half black and half blue. He stored it in his system space. To resolve the erosion of evil spirit energy, he could only defeat the Upper Spirit Evil General.
"And it has to be a High-Grade Evil General. I don't know if Wu Que Nan and I can handle it together. If not, I'll have to proceed with fusion. I'm fully awakened anyway, so the side effect of amnesia has no effect."
Chen Tian muttered to himself. Among the Evil Generals, there were ranks from high to low. The Evil Generals Chen Tian had encountered before were all Low-Grade Evil Generals, commanding an army. Above them were: Mid-Grade Evil Generals, High-Grade Evil Generals, and Nine-Star Evil Generals. The higher the rank, the more terrifying the Evil General's strength.
The Upper Spirit Evil General was one of the High-Grade Evil Generals. Chen Tian had learned about High-Grade Evil Generals before. There were only seven of them in total. During the millennia-long war, the High-Grade Evil Generals had held back more than a hundred gods on Chen Tian's side. More than seventy gods had perished before they were repelled, which showed how terrifying High-Grade Evil Generals were.
This was before the Nine-Star Evil Generals appeared during the invasion. The Nine-Star Evil Generals required Chen Tian's personal intervention; otherwise, no one could contend with them. There was a legend among the Evil Spirit race that the Nine-Star Evil Generals were the kings, the emperors, of the Evil Spirit race. The Evil Spirit Emperor, who held the imperial throne, was merely a clone of a Nine-Star Evil General.
Chen Tian didn't know if this was true. If it were, the strength of a Nine-Star Evil General was unimaginable. Just facing an Evil Spirit Emperor alone, Chen Tian had only managed a draw after going all out. If a Nine-Star Evil General attacked, Chen Tian felt he would have no chance of survival.
"Forget it, why think about him? Let's hurry and help Wu Que Nan."
Chen Tian's figure trembled, and a flash of light streaked as he returned the way he came. It was time to help Wu Que Nan. Wu Que Nan was also in a difficult situation, facing a High-Grade Evil General. Having just awakened, he might be struggling.
At the battle scene with Wu Que Nan, it was just as Chen Tian had imagined. Wu Que Nan was fighting the Upper Spirit Evil General alone and was gradually falling into a disadvantage. He couldn't help it; his strength hadn't fully recovered after his recent awakening, and it was already commendable that he could hold on.
Shen Tianyi, who was beside him, was still recovering. He wanted to help too! But the attacks at this level were too much for him to even approach. He could only watch from the sidelines.
"Hahaha! Gun Mad, you have days like this too! Today, I will end you here!"
"After I kill you, I'll kill the God Lord. Then, when our Evil Spirit race's army appears in a few years, we'll be unstoppable."
The Upper Spirit Evil General spoke with great arrogance. Wu Que Nan retorted, "Impossible! Give up. In the end, humanity will be victorious."
Wu Que Nan gritted his teeth and persisted. The light on his long spear began to flicker weakly. The Upper Spirit Evil General attacked with hundreds of blows per second with his wrist blades. Wu Que Nan's full defense could barely resist, and the opponent wasn't even using his full strength.
Wu Que Nan cried out in his heart, 'Chen Tian, when are you coming?'
*Peng!*
Wu Que Nan was sent flying. The Upper Spirit Evil General increased the intensity of his attacks, and Wu Que Nan couldn't block them. The Upper Spirit Evil General's wrist blade was about to strike Wu Que Nan's head when a fiery red light shot out, targeting the wrist blade. With a *clang*, the blade was deflected.
Wu Que Nan's body trembled, and he instantly vanished from his original position, appearing elsewhere.
"Who is it? Who is disrupting my plans this time!"
The Upper Spirit Evil General was on the verge of exploding. To be thwarted when he was about to kill his opponent. Anyone would be angry.
"It's me, Shang Ling. Long time no see."
Chen Tian appeared before the Upper Spirit Evil General. The Upper Spirit Evil General exclaimed, 'God Lord, how did you get here so quickly? It's impossible. At least my pet should have been able to hold you back. You resolved it this fast.'
"You mean that whale? Heh, you underestimate me, don't you? That thing is a pet? It couldn't even take one of my moves."
"Impossible! According to the contract, your strength shouldn't have recovered this quickly. How is it possible?"
"Indeed, my strength hasn't even recovered to thirty percent. But even with only ten-odd percent progress, my strength is vastly different from before."
"Remember what I said before? Just because there's no hope now doesn't mean there won't be hope in the future. We fought for that sliver of hope. We gambled."
"Now, that sliver of hope has appeared. Your Evil Spirit race is doomed."
Chen Tian said calmly. In the past, to protect the Divine Spirit Realm and for the future, they had gambled on that sliver of hope and had no choice but to take this drastic measure. But they had indeed seen hope, and Chen Tian had seen it.
Chen Tian's strength had not fully recovered, but the energy within him was mixed. The power of the Divine Spirit Realm, the power of the game, the power of cultivation, the power of the Sacred God Realm, the power of chaos, the power of the universe – these were all mixed together. The purity of the power within Chen Tian far surpassed his previous life, by as much as several thousand times.
Even if he hadn't fully recovered, just recovering half would be comparable to the strength of the God Lord in his previous life. The Upper Spirit Evil General refused to believe, "I don't believe it. After thousands of years, you've only been awake for a few days and you've grown this much. It seems I must kill you with my own hands today."
"Do you have that ability?"
"Haha! Chen Tian, you don't know this, do you? Besides High-Grade Evil Generals, we have another identity: Ancient Evil Generals. We are descendants of the Evil Generals from ancient times. Ancient Evil General's blood flows within us. Once this bloodline is activated, my strength will increase hundreds of times. Will you still be my opponent then?"
"Ancient Bloodline Activation!"
A hazy figure, shrouded in strange black mist, appeared behind Shang Ling. Its body and appearance were obscured, but it was evident that it was thirty meters tall, like a giant.
The figure, wrapped in black mist, transformed into sinister black energy and drilled into Shang Ling's body. The Upper Spirit Evil General's aura began to surge.
"Chen Tian, you must interrupt his advancement! If his aura strengthens any further, neither you nor I will be able to move."
Wu Que Nan said in horror. Chen Tian replied, "Let's attack together and interrupt him."
A nine-colored sword blade and a silver spear blade projection shot out from their hands. Before they could even touch the Upper Spirit Evil General's body, they collided with the evil spirit energy and collapsed.
Wu Que Nan retreated slightly. The aura was growing stronger and stronger. What should they do?
"Chen Tian, what do we do? This Upper Spirit Evil General's aura is almost comparable to the Evil Spirit Emperor's. We're no match for him now!"
"It's fine."
Chen Tian thought to himself, 'Fusion!'
Chen Tian and Wu Que Nan's figures were enveloped by a furnace formed by spatial illusions. Chen Tian and Wu Que Nan were currently in the process of fusion.
Chen Tian was not afraid of the Upper Spirit Evil General. Chen Tian's voice echoed in Shen Tianyi's mind, "Shen Tianyi, leave here first. When you've learned to fuse the power of three worlds, come find me."
"Be careful, Chen Tian!"
Shen Tianyi knew that his presence here would only be a hindrance. He wouldn't even be able to see the ensuing battle.
The Upper Spirit Evil General's body trembled, and his entire form began to change. At the same time, the furnace exploded, and a figure emerged.
Their eyes met. Now, with Chen Tian and Wu Que Nan fused, and the Upper Spirit Evil General using the Ancient Evil General bloodline, both figures had undergone a complete transformation.
Chen Tian's figure was tall and majestic, with silver wings spread behind him and a nine-colored skirt appearing below his legs.
A skirt combined with wings was a symbol of a powerful being.
Chen Tian's body, compared to before, was more youthful. His hair had turned silver, and he wore a simple and elegant long robe. He stood in space like an unparalleled immortal.
Chen Tian spoke indifferently, as if Wu Que Nan's voice was mixed in. Two different voices spoke, "Come on, Shang Ling. Let's see who's stronger."
Shang Ling saw Chen Tian's transformation and was greatly shocked. What had Chen Tian done? He had gained power on the same tier as himself.
The Upper Spirit Evil General's instincts were not wrong. Chen Tian's current aura and strength were equal to his, and he even seemed to suppress him slightly. How had he achieved this?
