Chen Tian cautiously scanned his surroundings. His opponent had entered a stealth state, so he needed to be careful. At the same time, he slowly closed his eyes, releasing waves of energy from his body.
Sensing the situation around him, a black light appeared in Chen Tian's mind. He placed the long sword on his back, then with a swift movement, drew his saber straight behind him. With a clang, a pair of black and gray long swords appeared on his saber. At the same time, Chen Tian slashed down with his saber, and a figure slowly appeared before him before retreating.
Their eyes met. The Evil Spirit race was insidious, and their abilities and skills were unpredictable, making them impossible to defend against. If he hadn't dealt with them a few years ago, he might have been severely wounded by that attack.
"It's a pity it's not fully fused. According to the contract, only with complete fusion can I save both worlds!"
Chen Tian sighed with sorrow. Then, with a cold glint in his eyes, he looked at Xie Mie before him. He then fused his saber and sword together, and the sword returned to its place on the dragon's claw, rejoining.
Chen Tian held the sword in one hand, and his terrifying aura, far from weakening, became even more imposing. Seeing this, Xie Mie said, "It seems your fusion with him is not without progress! But do you think you can protect this world by relying on the means of another world?"
"I will always believe in my own judgment. In this life, I will definitely protect this land. In this life, I will ensure this prosperity continues!"
Chen Tian's vast and broad words filled the continent, yet only a few could hear them.
Xie Mie's eyes revealed a terrifying killing intent. The Lord of Destiny before him must not be allowed to succeed in his plan, or he would be even more troublesome than he was a few years ago.
"Ling Mo Zhua!"
Xie Mie struck first. His terrifying hands transformed into black and gray claws, dragon claws, illusory dragon claws, constantly emitting faint black and gray afterimages.
The terrifying dragon claws seemed to tear through the sky, leaving behind a huge claw mark as they slashed through the air. Simultaneously, countless spatial rifts appeared.
Chen Tian's expression became solemn. His opponent had used his innate skill, a skill of the Evil Spirit race.
Chen Tian did not dare to underestimate it. He clenched his fists, and a nine-colored light first covered his fists, followed by a layer of gray-white airflow. He then punched out.
His entire fist seemed like a world, as if countless worlds had converged and were smashed out.
The collision of claws and fist, the terrifying nine-colored airflow, gray-white airflow, and black-gray airflow constantly drifted behind the two. Instantly, a huge void appeared in the entire space. Seeing this, both of them retracted their attacks. When the void disappeared, Chen Tian and Xie Mie looked at each other in silence.
Chen Tian struck first. The long sword in his hand slowly disassembled, his hands transforming into dragon claws, and wings reappeared behind him. Chen Tian held a black and a white long sword in his dragon claws.
With the appearance of dual sabers, they flowed out, and terrifying black and white saber light continuously shot towards Xie Mie.
Xie Mie's body moved his arm in an arc, and then a transparent black and gray shield appeared before him. Chen Tian's attack seemed to have no effect on it.
Chen Tian also fused his dual sabers into a giant black and white long sword and brought it down quickly. With a crack, the shield showed cracks and then shattered. Xie Mie's body was sent flying backward.
Xie Mie clutched his chest, where a scar had appeared from Chen Tian's sword strike just now. Instantly, black and gray energy enveloped the scar, and it began to heal.
Xie Mie seemed to have made a decision. He slowly raised his hands to the sky, and his entire body's black and gray energy surged, its terrifying aura enveloping the entire void.
Then, a terrifying black and gray energy above Xie Mie's body converged to form the shape of a giant. It was a figure, ethereal and illusory.
Xie Mie stared intently at Chen Tian and said, "Accept my ultimate strike! Ling Mi!"
The terrifying giant phantom slowly shrunk, shrinking. All the void energy around, and even all energy, continuously converged and shrunk. Instantly, a ball of light shot towards Chen Tian.
Chen Tian was shocked by the power of the black and gray transparent light sphere. Even he would be severely injured if he took it head-on. However, if it hit the ground, this world would collapse.
Chen Tian made a decision. He would definitely protect this world. This was the belief he had always held.
His entire body radiated nine-colored light. The phoenix crown and dragon horns on his head slowly appeared, with phantom images of dragons and phoenixes entwining the black and white dual sabers. Chen Tian threw out his dual sabers with all his might.
Chen Tian murmured, "I'm sorry. I just let you recover, and now you're hurt again. I'm sorry!"
Chen Tian looked at the black and white dual sabers he had thrown, feeling remorse. In his eyes, these weapons were no longer just weapons. They had accompanied him since he was young, and he had long considered them his friends, his confidantes. Now, they were hurt again.
The black and white dual sabers shot towards the black and gray light sphere. Simultaneously, the black saber was constantly entwined with nine-colored dragon shadows. The black saber instantly transformed into the figure of a giant ancestral dragon and charged into the light sphere. As for the white saber, nine-colored phoenix shadows continuously entwined it. The dual sabers transformed into a nine-colored phoenix. The dragon and phoenix intertwined and continuously charged towards the light sphere.
With a deafening explosion, the light sphere burst. Four black and white streams of light shot towards the distant horizon.
"Is it shattered? I'm sorry!"
Chen Tian shed tears. Only in this way could he protect the world behind him. Please forgive his decision.
Although weapons had no emotions, Chen Tian had long developed feelings for them. The shattering of his weapons pained him deeply.
"Damn it, he actually made his innate weapon shatter to stop my attack. Do I really have to use that thing? Once I use it, this world will no longer be necessary."
"Forget it, if it's gone, it's gone. I don't lack one world."
Xie Mie seemed to have made a crazy decision in his heart. He then formed a series of strange hand seals.
He then muttered words that Chen Tian couldn't understand. Above his hands, a vortex slowly appeared.
A thumping sound came from within the black vortex, and at the same time, Chen Tian spat out a mouthful of blood, as if he had been severely injured.
"Hahaha! I obtained this heart from the ancient battlefield of gods and demons. Now it will destroy this world. I won't give you a chance to grow! Even if our Evil Spirit race doesn't want this world, so be it!"
Xie Mie spoke madly, and under the thumping sound, it turned into countless fragments. Chen Tian exerted all his strength to release a gray-white light shield to protect himself.
At the same time, he looked into the vortex. A black light slowly appeared in the sky. Chen Tian looked at it. It was a heart, half golden and half black. Thump, thump, thump!
The beating of the heart could be heard, and Chen Tian's light shield instantly shattered. The void shattered, and the surroundings turned dark, as if devoid of any matter or energy.
Chen Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "This must be a god-demon heart, and a living one at that. Located in the ninety-ninth heaven, the heart of a god and demon. I am no match for it at all now. What should I do?"
Chen Tian fell into deep thought. If left unchecked, this heart only needed to vibrate a few more times, and the entire world would collapse into nothingness.
Chen Tian couldn't stand by and watch. He seemed to have made a decision, his eyes filled with determination as he looked at the heart and stepped forward towards it.
The god-demon heart seemed to have a will of its own. Seeing Chen Tian approach, it began to beat faster. Chen Tian's legs instantly exploded, and with every step he took, a part of his body would explode.
When Chen Tian reached the god-demon heart with all his might, he did something crazy.
He opened his mouth and swallowed the heart. That's right, he swallowed it. It was a god-demon heart! The heart of a god and demon after its death, containing the energy of a god and demon's entire life, as well as residual will. And he swallowed it whole.
At the same time, Chen Tian's body slowly grew flesh and blood, and he recovered completely. His eyes became golden and nine-colored, and a third eye slowly appeared on his forehead, between his eyebrows.
Chen Tian endured immense pain, blood flowing from his body, cracks constantly appearing. His hands exploded, and he gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. "Suppress it!"
Chen Tian was in unbearable agony. He fell to the ground, and the slightest impact with the ground caused it to explode into nothingness, devoid of matter and energy.
Instantly, heaven and earth shattered. Chen Tian continuously punched the ground, and his eyes gradually deepened.
Behind Chen Tian, terrifying airflow continuously appeared. Golden and black airflow converged into a human figure. The figure nodded faintly and then dissipated.
As it dissipated, Chen Tian also fell unconscious. His body then turned into speckles of starlight and drifted into the sky. His health bar displayed 0, in a dead state.
The entire world began to shake and split apart, dividing into ninety-nine layers, rejoining like parts of a spinning top.
In reality, in Chen Tian's room, Chen Tian was still asleep. To his left, a golden and black heart slowly appeared, with countless blood vessels and nerves connecting to it. Chen Tian's flowing blood also turned black and gold, and chains appeared on his body before shattering.
Nine-colored scales appeared on Chen Tian's skin, covering his entire body to form a set of armor. Magic array imprints appeared on the back of his hands and forehead before disappearing. Then, a concave mark appeared on his forehead.
"Ugh!"
"So bright! Is it morning already? I got too engrossed in playing."
Chen Tian slowly stretched, and as he woke up, all the scenes seemed as if they had never happened. Chen Tian wondered, "Wasn't I supposed to be fighting a clone of Xie Mie in the game? Why am I back in reality? Strange?"
"Never mind, I'll definitely kill Xie Mie and avenge Qing Ling when I get the chance."
Then, a light appeared on the back of his left hand and floated behind Chen Tian. Chen Tian was organizing himself to get up and eat. It was Sunday, and he didn't expect that after playing games for so many days, only one night had passed in reality.
"Hey! Where's my chip? My thought chip? It's not on my head! Where is it? Did it fall off?"
Chen Tian touched the back of his head. The chip was gone, no wonder he woke up.
A soft, sweet voice sounded from behind Chen Tian, "Brother, the chip isn't lost!"
"Ah!"
Chen Tian was stunned. Brother? What was going on?
He then turned around and saw his eyes widen, his mouth agape, and his outstretched hand and expression were indescribable.
"You, you, you, you, you're not Qing Ling, are you? How, how are you here? This isn't a game!"
Chen Tian said in surprise. Then Qing Ling's body nestled into Chen Tian's arms, and she said with enjoyment, "Brother! It's not Brother who made Qing Ling appear here, otherwise Qing Ling would still be a contracted summoned creature!"
"Uh, cough cough! Qing Ling, can you let go first? Brother isn't dressed yet!"
"Ah!"
Instantly, Qing Ling's little face turned red, and she covered her face, not daring to look at Chen Tian.
