Chen Tian looked at Gui Ming before him, noticing the terrifying demonic energy radiating from Gui Ming's staff, which instantly enveloped Gui Ming's body. The scratch miraculously healed.
Chen Tian wasn't surprised. The Ghost Clan could recover their injuries and restore their condition by absorbing demonic energy. In a place filled with tombstones, the opponent was practically invincible, especially with the Ghost Qi Stones providing an endless supply of demonic energy.
"Kid, you've completely enraged me!"
Gui Ming roared, then raised his staff. The world instantly changed. Countless black wisps of energy flowed from the tombstones on the mountaintop, and the entire mountain seemed to exude dark demonic energy. The demonic energy instantly covered the entire mountain range. Gui Ming slowly drew a circle with his hands, his staff following. Instantly, countless wisps of demonic energy converged, forming a colossal black vortex of demonic energy in the sky.
The vortex was an extreme black, incredibly eerie, as if it could affect one's sanity. Chen Tian felt his head buzzing, as if someone were constantly wailing in his ear.
It was the mournful cries of the deceased. However, Chen Tian resisted with his strong will. If it were his main body, he wouldn't fear this at all, especially considering his Spirit stat.
Spirit was the strongest defense against such mental attacks. Then, Gui Ming slowly pointed his staff at Chen Tian.
In the sky, the black vortex's raging demonic energy condensed. The vortex continuously shrank, finally becoming a black sphere.
The black sphere shot out instantly, like a bullet from a gun, moving at incredible speed, howling violently.
Seeing this, Chen Tian also moved his hands in a circular motion, and a shield formed from fire elements appeared before him.
A shield composed of blue flames. Chen Tian braced himself behind the shield with both hands. The black sphere instantly collided with the blue flame orb.
The black sphere, extremely black, eerily self, sorrowful and without injury.
Skill: Ghost Qi Ball.
This was a skill Gui Ming had created himself, condensing demonic energy to form a Ghost Qi Ball and shoot it at the opponent. The demonic energy contained the wails of countless people; those with weak wills might suffer mental collapse.
Chen Tian's blue flame shield continuously resisted the black sphere before him, while Chen Tian's figure retreated. With a "boom," the blue flame shield exploded, and Chen Tian rapidly flapped his wings.
In an instant, the black sphere narrowly missed him. However, Chen Tian's arm grazed a tiny bit of the sphere, and his health instantly dropped by 30%.
Chen Tian clutched his right arm. The terrifying black energy there was corroding his skin. Chen Tian covered it with his left hand, and instantly, an icy blue light erupted. The black energy on his right arm disappeared.
Chen Tian's expression turned serious. "I originally wanted to hide this, but now it seems I have to go all out against you!"
Note: "All out" here refers to Chen Tian's full power in his elemental form, not his main body's full power.
Chen Tian slowly extended his left and right hands. Instantly, a lotus formed from blue flames appeared in Chen Tian's hand. The temperature of the entire sky seemed to drop significantly, yet the intense heat was also palpable.
In Chen Tian's right hand, a diamond-shaped ice crystal appeared, and a purple amethyst appeared. Chen Tian held divine fire in his left hand and divine ice in his right, like a king of ice and fire, standing in the sky.
"No, impossible? How can you master two elements? There has never been such a case among elemental spirits!"
Gui Ming was astonished. Moreover, he could tell that the quality of the ice was the same as the flames – divine ice. How was this possible? How could divine ice and divine fire, two opposing attributes, coexist in one person?
This was absolutely impossible!
"Die! I originally wanted to conceal my divine ice, but now it seems I have to go all out to deal with you."
Chen Tian said with a proud expression. Then, he slowly extended his hands. His left hand's divine fire, Ice Heart Blue Flame, transformed into a fireball and shot towards Gui Ming. His right hand's divine ice unleashed icy blue radiance, and instantly, countless ice shards shot out, covering Gui Ming like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms.
Seeing this, Gui Ming touched the ground with his staff. Instantly, countless wisps of demonic energy formed a colossal shield that enveloped him.
The countless divine ice and divine fire attacks hit it, producing only "ding" sounds. Gui Ming said, "Even if you have divine fire and divine ice, so what? As long as I have the Ghost Qi Stone, the demonic energy barrier will not disappear."
"Wrathful Ghost!"
Gui Ming directly unleashed his skill. Under the protection of the demonic energy shield, countless raging demonic energies flowed from his staff, converging to form a figure – a giant figure with pitch-black eyes, staring intently at Chen Tian.
Its massive body was entirely composed of energy, as if it had no flesh and blood. Its terrifying arms, carrying demonic energy, smashed towards Chen Tian.
Chen Tian swung his right hand down. Instantly, countless ice crystals gathered to form an ice crystal shield. The black giant's fist hit the ice crystal shield, causing faint cracks to appear before it shattered.
But Chen Tian had many more layers of ice crystal shields. After breaking through more than a dozen ice crystal shields, the black giant's fist finally lost its strength.
"Wrathful Ghost, explode!"
Seeing that the Wrathful Ghost had shrunk by half, Gui Ming decided not to prolong the fight. The Wrathful Ghost was a demonic energy giant formed by condensed demonic energy. Each attack consumed its own demonic energy. Since the first strike did not inflict damage, he decided to detonate it directly.
Then, with a "boom," a massive black, eerie mushroom cloud rose into the sky. Chen Tian was at the center of the explosion. As the black mushroom cloud dissipated, Chen Tian was surrounded by two half-shell-shaped shields on his left and right.
Chen Tian coughed a few times. "Fortunately, I comprehended a skill at the critical moment. Otherwise, this attack would have truly annihilated me. I never expected the opponent to make such a decisive move."
Then, Chen Tian looked at Gui Ming with a cold glint in his eyes. Their gazes met. Chen Tian slowly formed divine ice and divine fire in his hands, and the divine ice and divine fire continuously intertwined. The energies of ice and fire clashed.
At the same time, a terrifying aura resonated through the surroundings. Seeing this, Dekai shouted, "Run! Quick!"
He then immediately abandoned Shu Zi and Wu Que Nan Fei and ran towards the mountainside. Good heavens! The mere aura of this attack was enough to instantly kill him. If he didn't run now, he would die!
Shu Zi Ge and Wu Que Nan Fei also turned and fled, neither wanting to die. Meanwhile, Chen Tian was sweating profusely on his forehead.
Gui Ming was also enveloped by demonic energy. Both of them had prepared their final, decisive blow.
Chen Tian's expression turned grim. He looked at the ice and fire orb in his hands with trepidation, swallowing a gulp of saliva.
A colossal energy reaction generated a massive explosion. Chen Tian was blown away, his health instantly depleted to 10%.
Chen Tian looked at his hands. "It's still not enough, is it? It's too difficult to create a god-tier skill without my main body."
At the moment of the explosion, the entire mountaintop shook. Rocks continuously rolled down, trees collapsed, and lava erupted. The volume of the mountain surprisingly decreased by half, and its height was also reduced.
This illustrated the terrifying power of the technique Chen Tian created, which possessed such formidable power even before being fully mastered.
"Hahaha! Kid, you've given me another chance!"
Gui Ming rejoiced upon seeing Chen Tian's technique explode. The opponent's health was already at critical levels, and his own attack was fully charged. This strike would surely kill him.
Gui Ming was enveloped by black demonic energy, which continuously flowed into the Ghost Qi Stone. A beam of extreme light shot out from the Ghost Qi Stone of his staff.
Black beam, Ghost's Cry Shakes the Heavens, Endless Moaning, Earth-Shaking, God-Weeping.
Skill: Ghost God Heaven Strike.
Chen Tian adjusted his stance. Instantly, the left half of his body glowed red, and the right half glowed blue. He rushed directly towards the black beam.
Seeing this, Gui Ming's heart swelled with joy. He's rushing into this attack, what a good way to die!
But was that really the case?
As Chen Tian's figure approached the black beam, his entire form flickered and disappeared.
Gui Ming rubbed his eyes, "What's going on? Where is he? How did he disappear?"
"I'm here!"
Instantly, Chen Tian embraced Gui Ming from behind. Gui Ming struggled and stammered, "What are you doing, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Of course, I'm going to kill you!"
Terrifying fire and ice energies radiated from Chen Tian's left and right sides, affecting Gui Ming's body, causing him to struggle more slowly.
Gui Ming looked at Chen Tian with a madman's expression. "Madman, you're a madman! You want to self-destruct? The power of divine ice and divine fire self-destructing will also severely injure and kill you."
Chen Tian's lips curved slightly. "I will be severely injured and die, but I don't care."
Then, the red and blue lights seemed to reach saturation. Instantly, massive fiery spikes and icy spikes erupted from Chen Tian's body.
He looked like a hedgehog, but even more so, with more spikes than a hedgehog. The ground was pierced by ice and fire spikes, and the tombstones turned into rubble.
Chen Tian was surrounded by spikes, as if the entire mountaintop had become a battlefield of ice and fire spikes.
The power of ice and fire, bursting forth from the spikes, radiating brilliance.
Skill: Ice Fire Explosive Flame Kill.
As the ice and fire spikes slowly shrank and returned to Chen Tian's body, Gui Ming's body transformed into faint black light and drifted into the sky.
Chen Tian's body also… Ice Fire Explosive Flame Kill was indeed a god-tier skill, but this move would also inflict damage on himself. A 10% health loss was already at the threshold of death; it was impossible for him to survive.
"Using powerful strength always comes with a price. God-tier skills don't seem to be very easy to use either! But fortunately…!"
Chen Tian didn't finish his sentence before transforming into starlight and floating towards the sky, but not entirely. Countless rays of light floated towards another location.
Dekai, Wu Que Nan Fei, and Shu Zi Ge stood on the mountainside, watching the enormous fire and ice spikes shoot into the sky and pierce the ground. The height of the mountain was reduced by another three times, as if it had collapsed.
"My goodness! What kind of skill is this? I feel like if I hadn't left earlier, I would have been finished with this area."
Wu Que Nan Fei gulped, saying in shock. Then, Shu Zi Ge spoke, "I wonder how Chen Tian is doing. Let's go and see the situation on the mountaintop."
