Chen Tian arrived in the sky, looking at the dense phantoms around him. Phantoms were soul-like creatures, similar to ghosts, but with distinctions.
Their appearance resembled demons, with sharp claws on both hands. These gray claws could tear apart anything in their path, and Chen Tian sensed a peculiar aura from them.
He felt a sense of closeness, unsure if it was a mere illusion. However, this reinforced his belief that his third life was that of a phantom, an autonomous being. This was his first time in the Phantom Continent, and encountering phantoms for the first time, he couldn't explain this sense of familiarity. Therefore, Chen Tian was certain he was the Lord of Phantoms.
He had yet to awaken and recover his memories. Chen Tian flew through the sky, searching for phantoms. The aura of these phantoms did not interest him; they were too weak, far too weak. Chen Tian wanted to see what stronger phantoms were like. He continued forward, flying for an unknown duration. Soon, Chen Tian's figure arrived above a mountain shrouded in gray mist. Countless phantoms were kneeling before the summit.
Chen Tian detected an aura not weaker than his own at the mountain's peak. He made a decisive move and charged directly to the summit. On the mountain, a phantom stood slowly, gazing at the sky. This phantom's appearance differed from normal phantoms. Upon closer inspection, one could see it possessed human characteristics, equivalent to a complete human. If not for being enveloped in gray mist, ordinary people wouldn't recognize it as a phantom.
Chen Tian emerged from the phantom's claws, appearing unharmed before its eyes.
"Impossible! Kid, how could you possibly withstand my attack?"
The phantom looked at Chen Tian, completely uninjured. How was this possible!
He had used seventy percent of his power in that last move. He couldn't believe Chen Tian was fine.
Chen Tian's figure flickered, then stabilized. He spoke calmly, "Just like you, by continuously shifting between incorporeal and corporeal forms."
"Being incorporeal and corporeal is, put simply, like yin and yang. I reverse my body's existence, merging with the air. I become air, and your attacks will have no effect on me."
This was a solution Chen Tian suddenly thought of. To deal with such a tricky ability, one had to use the same ability to counter. You annoy me, I annoy you. Let's see who gives up first.
The phantom never expected Chen Tian to have such an idea. By becoming like him, it truly had no way to defeat Chen Tian.
It knew its abilities well. The phantom realized that if Chen Tian were like him, this battle would continue until the world collapsed.
Neither could harm the other!
This was the ultimate outcome.
