A colossal phantom stood in the sky, its hand slowly opening a golden book. As it unfolded, runes formed circles and entwined around the book. Witnessing this, someone in the crowd gasped, "I never imagined he would have descendants!"
A voice suddenly emerged from the crowd. While some recognized the identity of Huang Fenglong from the figure, cultivators who were unaware of such matters remained silent, as that level of power was beyond their current understanding. Those present who possessed such knowledge were all old-generation cultivators. The phantom behind Huang Fenglong fully opened the book, from which floated over a hundred peculiar characters. Chen Tian's palms intertwined before him, and a Taiji Yin-Yang diagram appeared behind his back.
The black and white of Yin and Yang blended. Chen Tian's fists absorbed the Yin-Yang energy, and the Taiji Yin-Yang diagram entered his fists. Subsequently, his fists transformed into black and white colors. Chen Tian clapped his hands together, and the black and white energy collided. Chen Tian spread his arms apart, and a black and white sphere of light continuously expanded between his palms. This technique astonished the surrounding cultivators; Chen Tian had mastered the power of Yin and Yang, a force as unpredictable as darkness and light, its origins, creation, and purpose unknown.
However, the power of Yin and Yang was immense. Chen Tian pushed the black and white sphere of light forward with his palms. The colossal sphere charged towards Huang Fenglong's figure. Seeing this move, Huang Fenglong dared not be careless. In Huang Fenglong's eyes, this was Chen Tian's most powerful attack. The book behind Huang Fenglong's phantom slowly rotated, and countless characters condensed into a sword of words, which shot out directly.
As the words flew out, the phantom dissipated. An elder in the crowd spoke, "He hasn't fully awakened yet. It seems he can only use it once."
"Indeed. After all, it's his bloodline, and he hasn't grown strong enough."
"But even so, the power of this move is not something that brat can resist."
Several elders shook their heads. In their eyes, Chen Tian was as good as dead. After all, this was a technique passed down through that person's bloodline, a technique that even they dared not face head-on. And this was even with the bloodline not fully awakened. If it were, the power of this move could destroy over a dozen worlds, just by its aura alone.
Even without the bloodline fully awakened, it was not something cultivators of the same realm could resist. The word-sword collided with Chen Tian's black and white sphere. As everyone expected, Chen Tian's sphere was directly pierced by the word-sword, which then charged towards Chen Tian. Chen Tian was somewhat shocked. This was the first time his attack had been pierced. This was the power of Yin and Yang, and Chen Tian had held nothing back. This move was at its full power. It could only mean one thing: the energy of this move was even stronger than his Yin-Yang energy.
The word-sword instantly reached Chen Tian. Chen Tian spread his palms, forming a shield. The shield was composed of over a dozen rhombus-shaped barriers. The speed of the word-sword was slowed by the barriers, but Chen Tian's barriers had no effect. After resisting for only a few seconds, they shattered.
Chen Tian's barriers shattered one after another. Chen Tian knew this would not work. This sword made of words was no trivial matter. Chen Tian felt a sense of danger from it. He absolutely could not withstand this attack head-on. This attack blocked all of Chen Tian's escape routes, leaving him with no choice but to meet it head-on.
Chen Tian's techniques did not include anything that could counter this attack. Even if he had such a technique, it would require immense energy, and his strength would be exposed.
Just as Chen Tian was about to make a decision, a system voice sounded in his mind. Chen Tian's figure trembled. In that moment of distraction, the barriers could no longer hold and shattered completely. With a bang, an explosion occurred, though the sound was suppressed. The word-sword and Chen Tian collided, creating an explosion.
Huang Fenglong turned around directly, not even bothering to watch the explosion. He believed Chen Tian would be completely annihilated by this move. This attack was not something cultivators of the same realm could resist. A voice then emerged from the center of the explosion, mockingly asking, "What, not over yet? Trying to escape already?"
How is this possible!
Everyone was utterly shocked because the voice was too familiar. Chen Tian emerged unharmed from the explosion, a sight that stunned everyone.
How could this be? Chen Tian took this move head-on and was completely fine. Had he used some hidden trump card?
Chen Tian was internally panicking. Just as the word-sword was clashing with his barriers, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
It was the news that the system update was complete. Afterward, the system spoke, "Absorb the power of the word-sword to promote the growth of the World Tree."
"Ding, congratulations to the host. The World Tree has sprouted a sapling and requires powerful energy for catalysis."
"Ding, congratulations to the host. Your strength has been unsealed to thirteen percent."
"Ding, congratulations to the host. Your overall ability has been upgraded by one level and you have acquired a new ability: World Domain."
Chen Tian had not expected such generous rewards from the system's update. His strength had recovered to ten percent, making him even less fearful of the current situation.
Huang Fenglong observed that Chen Tian's aura was much stronger than before. This guy had withstood his strongest attack without a scratch and was becoming even more powerful. Strange, very strange!
Chen Tian and Huang Fenglong's eyes flashed, and weapons appeared in their hands simultaneously. Chen Tian wielded twin blades, energy-formed and glinting sharply. Huang Fenglong held a spear formed from Imperial Qi. The weapons used by beings of their caliber were energy constructs, for as long as the energy persisted, the weapons would not be destroyed. Energy-formed weapons were common in weapon battles across the myriad worlds.
However, the intensity of the energy determined the strength of the weapon. But generally, the purity of energy within cultivators was the same, with little difference. This theory was irrelevant to Chen Tian, whose internal energy purity was a hundred times that of a normal cultivator.
The power of Chen Tian's twin blades was a hundred times greater than Huang Fenglong's spear. At this moment, Huang Fenglong was unaware of this fact. Chen Tian’s blades swept forward, assuming a stance. His figure flashed, and with a swish, like a gentle breeze, he appeared behind Huang Fenglong in the next second. His speed was such that Huang Fenglong's senses could not detect it.
Huang Fenglong was horrified. Chen Tian's strength compared to before was like the difference between heaven and earth. Had this guy not been using his full power before?
At this moment, Chen Tian was unleashing three percent of his power. Three percent of his power already surpassed Huang Fenglong's entire strength. Chen Tian could easily crush him, but he chose not to kill him instantly, as being too conspicuous was not ideal.
Although Chen Tian was not afraid of these million cultivators, the entire Dark Realm could only withstand about six percent of Chen Tian's power. Chen Tian could not unleash his full strength, or the Dark Realm would collapse.
Facing Chen Tian's twin blades, Huang Fenglong struggled to defend. Chen Tian was completely different from before, as if he were a different person. The power of his blades was comparable to his previous techniques with every strike.
The speed of the twin blades was so fast that Huang Fenglong couldn't react, enduring numerous attacks while struggling to defend.
