Chen Tian and the evil spirit steadied themselves. The twin blades in Chen Tian's hands erupted with seven-colored light, a radiant glow like the sea. He raised the blades, poised to strike. The evil spirit's double-bladed axes had developed a crack during the previous collision; the evil spirit's axes were actually at a disadvantage in the clash.
The evil spirit's energy filled the axes, and the cracks began to repair themselves. The weapon itself was composed of evil spirit energy, and any damage could be mended by this energy at any time. The evil spirit's axes merged together, transforming back into a long saber. With the saber in hand, a black and red aura coiled around it.
Chen Tian clashed his twin blades together. The seven-colored light spun with the wind, conjuring powerful gales. The hilts of the blades met, and a long saber appeared in his hand. He swung the saber with wide, sweeping movements, and as he wielded it, a massive tornado was generated.
A seven-colored tornado formed. Chen Tian threw the long saber with both hands. With a *whoosh*, the saber collided with the tornado, and the tornado swept towards the evil spirit. The evil spirit watched the approaching tornado, the fierce winds heralding a devastating doom.
There was no panic in its eyes. It gripped the saber's hilt tightly with its left hand, and a saber aura erupted. Chen Tian's seven-colored tornado was directly sliced into two halves. Chen Tian smirked; this move was not as simple as it seemed. Chen Tian clenched his fists, and with a *boom*, an explosion ignited in the center of the tornado.
The light of the explosion engulfed the evil spirit, and its figure was repelled from the blast. The evil spirit appeared unharmed. Chen Tian had not expected this move to injure the opponent, but at least he had gained the initiative. Otherwise, if it remained a stalemate, this battle would never end.
The evil spirit glared at Chen Tian. Two beams of light shot from its eyes, black beams like the scorching sun, burning heaven and earth. Chen Tian's eyes shot out nine-colored beams. The beams collided with each other, and Chen Tian was slowly suppressed. Chen Tian abandoned offense and switched to defense, his figure flashing as he vanished from his original position.
The opponent's black beams shot towards the sky. Chen Tian reappeared on the other side. The evil spirit turned its head, and with a few swift swings of its long saber, countless illusory saber images appeared, pointing at Chen Tian. Chen Tian exclaimed in shock, "Good heavens, they've already learned my move so quickly."
This move was incredibly familiar to Chen Tian. Wasn't this the very move he had just performed?
He hadn't expected the evil spirit to have such comprehension. After a mere glance, it had learned and even mastered the technique. Chen Tian summoned his long sword. Behind him, illusory sword images bloomed. If that was the case, then they would compete to see whose technique was stronger.
Chen Tian did not use any other moves, but instead employed the same technique. For a time, the collision of the long saber and the myriad swords was incredibly fierce. Sweat trickled down both Chen Tian's and the evil spirit's foreheads. Such high-consumption techniques were not something either of them could maintain for long.
Seeing that his technique and the evil spirit's technique had identical power, Chen Tian flashed forward, twin swords in hand. What was once a single-handed sword was now a long sword in each hand. The swords clashed and merged into a colossal heavenly sword. The heavenly sword descended.
The evil spirit watched the giant sword fall. The long saber in its hand bent, transforming into a scythe. With a sweep of the black and red scythe, it locked onto the giant sword's body. Cracks spread across the giant sword's surface. Chen Tian released his grip, and a vast power flowed along the giant sword. With a *crack*, the entire giant sword collapsed. It was fortunate that Chen Tian had let go early, otherwise, the damage to his body from such power would have been considerable.
Seeing that its scheme had failed, the evil spirit's scythe swept horizontally, aiming for Chen Tian's neck. The scythe was like the Grim Reaper's, striking with the inevitability of death.
A nine-colored shield appeared on Chen Tian's arm. He raised his arm, and the scythe collided with the shield. A thunderous force erupted, and Chen Tian's figure was sent flying backward. Chen Tian stabilized himself, looking at the scythe in the evil spirit's hand. This scythe possessed a special ability.
Otherwise, he would not have ended up in this predicament. The shield had not been broken by the attack, yet Chen Tian had been forced back, which was truly bizarre.
"Your weapon is unusual. It seems that traitor has helped your evil spirit race to this extent. Truly despicable."
Chen Tian uttered in anger. The evil spirit race would certainly not understand the concept of transforming weapons or imbuing them with other attributes; only humans did. Therefore, that traitor made Chen Tian wish he could kill them immediately.
"Hmph, let's see how you resist this time. Die!"
The evil spirit appeared arrogant. Just as it was about to make a move, its entire body trembled. Its body swayed, and the evil spirit's face contorted. "Damn this seal, why now?"
"Kid, you're lucky. I'll spare you this time. You won't be so fortunate next time. We'll meet again, and the next time we meet will be the day I take your head."
The evil spirit's body was enveloped in a black and red mist, and it vanished into the sky. Chen Tian let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was as his calculations had predicted.
The Heavenly Dao's seal and suppression were taking effect on the evil spirit. Continuing the fight would be disadvantageous to him. Having traveled across universes, entering a world of lower grade subjected one to the suppression and sealing of the Heavenly Dao's will. The more powerful one was, the greater the sealing and suppression effect. The evil spirit had initially suppressed the seal, but as the battle progressed, with its full strength and attention focused on the fight, it had neglected the Heavenly Dao's suppression and sealing, leading to its current eruption.
Of course, Chen Tian hadn't known this before. The system had informed him. Chen Tian had been pondering how to kill the evil spirit during the previous battle. The gap between them was too vast. Chen Tian was not its match yet. Even though it was a stalemate, it was because Chen Tian was special.
The evil spirit hailed from the Sacred Spirit Realm's Evil Spirit Clan. The Evil Spirit Clan had a presence throughout the universe, which allowed Chen Tian to witness their might. Chen Tian murmured, "I still need to accelerate my fusion progress."
Chen Tian yearned for strength even more. He was determined to seize the time to complete his mission upon his return.
Chen Tian's figure returned to the city wall, his appearance restored. Chen Tian stated, "For five days, the opponent will not organize any attacks. Let's use these five days to rest and prepare. Five days from now will be the decisive battle."
"Yes!"
The Heavenly Dao's seal and suppression were upon the evil spirit. It would only take the evil spirit five days to adapt, and its power would be far greater than it was now.
The evil spirit's initial plan was to remove the Heavenly Dao's suppression before making a move. Who knew that the Evil Spirit Clan scions of this world would be so incompetent, being instantly killed? If he hadn't appeared, his previous efforts would have been in vain.
Fortunately, this battle allowed the evil spirit to understand Chen Tian, and Chen Tian to understand the evil spirit. Both sides knew each other's capabilities.
Chen Tian stood on the city wall. There were only five days. In the game, this translated to several months. During these months, Chen Tian needed to level up and complete his breakthrough mission. After five days, the evil spirit, with its strength fully restored, would be an opponent Chen Tian could not face.
The space in front of Chen Tian rippled. A spatial rift formed. He stepped into it, and the space sealed itself. Chen Tian left the fortress.
Chen Tian was acutely aware that his current strength was no match for the evil spirit.
