Chen Tian planned to kill the Snow Demon Spirit with one move. If they continued to wear each other down, neither of them would be able to defeat the other. Chen Tian had no need to waste more time here. This was merely something the Heavenly Dao had sent to annoy him. Anyone who dared to stand in his way should be ruthlessly eliminated. Chen Tian slowly raised his left and right arms. Energy flowed through them, gathering immense power. It was impossible to discern how many types of energy were converging, but Chen Tian channeled all the energy he could mobilize into his arms. His arms were now encircled by nine different lights. Chen Tian then formed a Tai Chi stance with his arms. This was a technique from Chen Tian's first life, and even now, he couldn't unleash its full power.
Currently, Chen Tian could only exert one-tenth of its strength. Even with just one-tenth, this move was enough to annihilate the Snow Demon Spirit. The Snow Demon Spirit felt the radiance emanating from Chen Tian's arms, and its expression turned grim. It sensed death from Chen Tian's technique. Not daring to be negligent, it wanted to survive. How could it accept being killed just as it had awoken? The Snow Demon Spirit roared, its entire body filled with rage. The desire to live erupted into even greater power.
Chen Tian's figure and the Snow Demon Spirit simultaneously charged their ultimate moves. Chen Tian's arms moved along the Tai Chi pattern. White snow converged on the Snow Demon Spirit's entire body. The snow beneath its feet was completely absorbed by the Snow Demon Spirit. Its aura grew even more imposing. Strangely, all the snow from the ground gathered onto the Snow Demon Spirit, yet the ground remained covered in snow, which was exceedingly peculiar. Chen Tian, unaware of this, had completed his arm's charge. The Tai Chi diagram before Chen Tian became increasingly clear. This Tai Chi was unlike the normal one. Initially, the Tai Chi had only black and white colors. As it spun, the colors shifted to three, then four, and finally nine colors enveloped the Tai Chi.
Tai Chi divides Yin and Yang; Yin and Yang give rise to the Two Forms; the Two Forms divide into four directions; after the four directions comes the Five Elements; the Five Elements gather the Six Harmonies; the Six Harmonies enter Nirvana; Nirvana is Heaven and Earth; Heaven and Earth is Chaos. This is the cyclical law of the Tai Chi diagram. Chen Tian's move incorporated the principles of Heaven and Earth into the Tai Chi diagram, combined with Chen Tian's energy. The influence of the Heaven and Earth power within him meant that this Tai Chi diagram had the potential to obliterate a city. Given Chen Tian's strength, how terrifying was that?
Chen Tian pushed out his palms, and the rapidly spinning Tai Chi diagram attacked the Snow Demon Spirit. The terrifying power caused the surrounding snowy mountain space to faintly shatter. Under this attack, space could not endure for long. The Snow Demon Spirit's body was still gathering snow, seemingly preparing for a desperate struggle. It fused all the snow onto its chest, forming a small white sphere of snow. Although it appeared small, the power that erupted from it made Chen Tian wary.
The Snow Demon Spirit still had hidden means. This was its last resort. The snow sphere shot out and collided with the Tai Chi diagram. If Chen Tian had fully recovered his strength, the Tai Chi diagram's power would have been sufficient to instantly kill the Snow Demon Spirit. However, Chen Tian had not fully recovered, and his technique could only be unleashed at one percent of its power. Even at one percent, Chen Tian's Tai Chi diagram was slowly advancing. The Snow Demon Spirit's snow sphere was like a fragile bubble in front of the Tai Chi diagram, easily popped.
Soon, it exploded. The shockwave from the explosion pushed both Chen Tian and the Snow Demon Spirit back a few steps. The Tai Chi diagram shot out from the explosion and directly struck the Snow Demon Spirit's body, creating a thunderous sound. Chen Tian immediately turned away, not wanting to look behind him. The Snow Demon Spirit was certain to die under this attack.
With a thunderous roar, an explosion occurred. Chen Tian's figure then calmly departed the area, the explosion behind him.
A true man never looks back at an explosion, leaving a cool silhouette. After Chen Tian left, at the center of the explosion, there was no sign of the Snow Demon Spirit. Just as Chen Tian had thought, its form had been reduced to ashes by the collision with the Tai Chi diagram. Chen Tian continued to move towards the center of the snowy mountain.
However, after taking only a few steps, the entire snowy mountain began to shake. Chen Tian entered a combat state. A familiar aura permeated the air between heaven and earth. It was a familiar aura of the Evil Spirit race. Could there be Evil Spirits in this place?
Chen Tian sensed the aura of the Evil Spirit race. Judging by its intensity, it seemed to be an Evil General-level Evil Spirit. Evil Generals also had their own rankings, and Chen Tian was unsure which one this was. Chen Tian's expression became serious. If the Evil Spirit race was involved behind this matter, Chen Tian dared not be careless. He had to deal with the Evil Spirit race himself.
Chen Tian proceeded based on the Evil Spirit race's aura, prioritizing resolving the issue with them first. He wondered what the Evil Spirit race was doing in this world. The Star Realm Continent was not a world of human life. Normally, the Evil Spirit race would have no interest in this place. After several cycles, who knew what the Evil Spirit race had become? Chen Tian was not overly shocked.
Walking along the snowy mountain path, Chen Tian followed the Evil Spirit aura, which surprisingly led him to the same destination as his own objective: the center of the snowy mountain. As Chen Tian moved closer to the center, he felt that something was amiss. The Evil Spirit aura in the center was incredibly dense. If this aura were to erupt and spread, all life within tens of thousands of miles of the snowy mountain, along with any cities, would be assimilated into Evil Spirits.
Strangely, this Evil Spirit aura did not leak out at all. Chen Tian closed his eyes and sensed everything. So, the entire snowy mountain was a massive barrier, sealing and concentrating all the Evil Spirit aura in the central peak, preventing it from leaving the mountain's confines.
Chen Tian immediately recognized the special nature of the snowy mountain. He reached the center, where a colossal altar stood. The black altar was adorned with peculiar patterns that Chen Tian did not understand at all, but he knew the Evil Spirit race was beneath it.
"It appears this is a seal. I just don't know who sealed the Evil Spirits here."
Chen Tian looked at the altar. It was clearly a seal, but Chen Tian had no knowledge of other seals, which was now a headache.
"Ding, assisting the host in understanding all knowledge about the Star Realm Continent. Knowledge provided."
Sensing Chen Tian's dilemma, a system voice sounded in his mind. Chen Tian hadn't known the system had such a function. After receiving the knowledge imparted by the system, Chen Tian gained a deep understanding of the Star Realm Continent's culture and knowledge. The altar before him now seemed as familiar as a childhood friend. Chen Tian approached the altar. The sealing method used here was self-sealing, meaning Chen Tian needed to stand on the altar and activate the seal with it to enter the sealed space beneath.
Of course, this seal was one-way; one could only enter, not leave. If Chen Tian wanted to exit after entering the sealed space, he would need to employ certain methods. Another way to get out was to eliminate the sealed entity, at which point the seal would collapse. Chen Tian's objective was the Evil Spirit race. Standing on the altar, Chen Tian extended his left hand and etched lines. The lines intertwined, becoming more numerous. Upon closer inspection, these lines were identical to the patterns on the altar. Chen Tian was drawing a pattern identical to the runes.
For Chen Tian, this was incredibly familiar. The Chen Tian of the past might not have understood, but after receiving the memories and knowledge from the system, he could handle the altar with ease. Chen Tian quickly completed the pattern of the runes. As Chen Tian lowered his arm, the pattern perfectly aligned with the runes on the altar. Instantly, the entire altar emitted a light that shot up into the sky. The sight of the entire snowy mountain was witnessed by all human-like beings in the world. Due to the snowy mountain's peculiar nature, any human who entered it would die, so no one paid much attention to this spectacle.
As if some foolish humans had entered the snowy mountain, at the center of the snowy mountain altar, Chen Tian's figure was shot upwards into the sky with the beam of light. The light column slowly descended beneath the altar, and Chen Tian's figure followed the light down into the sealed space.
Beneath the altar was a world of darkness. In the darkness, a beam of light descended from the sky. Chen Tian entered. He looked at his surroundings. Was this the sealed place?
Chen Tian walked on the darkness. His feet were on darkness, and darkness surrounded him. This was not pure darkness, but a darkness caused by the influence of the Evil Spirit aura. The Evil Spirit aura had little effect on Chen Tian, as he was immune to it. If anyone else entered here, they would instantly become an Evil Spirit puppet.
This Evil Spirit aura was incredibly potent. Chen Tian estimated it to be no weaker than an ancient Evil General. The Evil General sealed here must have an extraordinary origin.
Chen Tian wandered, soon sensing the primordial power of the Evil Spirit race. He ran towards his right, and a black gateway of light appeared before him. Chen Tian cautiously entered. Behind this door was an Evil Spirit. His intention towards the Evil Spirit was absolute: it must not be allowed to leave alive.
Based on past experiences with Evil Spirits, the Evil Spirit before him was likely sealed here, just like those who invaded his world. Chen Tian stepped into the light. The black light was immediately swallowed by the darkness after Chen Tian entered, vanishing.
Inside the light gate, Chen Tian found himself in a cave. As soon as he appeared in the cave, a black light attacked him from behind. Chen Tian reacted instantly, his figure disappearing as he employed his illusory abilities.
This black light passed straight through Chen Tian's body. The black light stopped before him. Chen Tian saw an Evil Spirit, a pure-blooded Evil Spirit. Based on the aura emanating from its entire being, it was a member of his own race.
The Evil Spirit, Xie Shaotian, saw his attack easily evaded by Chen Tian and praised slightly, "Human, it's been a long time since a human has come here. Thousands of years ago, only those two were still fighting me."
"Kid, it looks like you've come to die."
Xie Shaotian did not believe Chen Tian had appeared here to defeat him.
Chen Tian's eyes gleamed coldly. This fellow was definitely not to be trifled with. Chen Tian's view of his own race was limited to a few elders and acquaintances. As for the lives of other Evil Spirit beings, what did it matter to him? The moment Tian betrayed him and led the entire Evil Spirit race away, that race ceased to have any reason to exist.
Chen Tian and Xie Shaotian locked eyes. Chen Tian's killing intent was immense. Xie Shaotian could tell that Chen Tian wanted to kill him, and he couldn't understand why they had any enmity.
Chen Tian spoke indifferently, "It seems your sins are not light, or you wouldn't have been sealed here for thousands of years."
"Hmph, if it weren't for those two pretending to duel while secretly casting a seal, and me not being able to guard against it, I would have fallen into their trap. But that was thousands of years ago. As long as I kill you and seize your human origin, I can escape this damned place."
Xie Shaotian desperately wanted to leave this space but had no way to do so. Now, seeing Chen Tian, he saw hope of escape and how could he not be excited?
From Xie Shaotian's words, Chen Tian deduced that the two leaders back then were not truly fighting but were engaging in a duel to seal the Evil Spirits. The duel was a ruse; in reality, they were sealing the Evil Spirits. It seemed the history of thousands of years ago was not fully understood.
Xie Shaotian remained silent. Further talk was useless. He needed Chen Tian's human origin to leave. Once he escaped, with his power, the entire world would belong to him.
Would Chen Tian let him succeed?
Chen Tian's purpose in coming here was to eliminate the Evil Spirit race. How could Chen Tian possibly let Xie Shaotian leave?
Chen Tian and Xie Shaotian's auras clashed head-on. A great battle was about to unfold in the cave, a world-shattering battle.
Chen Tian and Xie Shaotian moved simultaneously, their figures transforming into light as they collided. Chen Tian and Xie Shaotian attacked together. Chen Tian's fist met Xie Shaotian's claws head-on. Waves of energy rolled, the cave shook, and Chen Tian was forced back three steps, while Xie Shaotian retreated half a step.
