Chen Tian and Xie Shao Tian looked at each other, Xie Shao Tian's hatred for Chen Tian erupting into killing intent. Chen Tian hadn't expected that guy to release these beings and revive them using forbidden techniques, truly intending to kill him with strong resolve. However, Chen Tian was not afraid. Xie Shao Mie before him was not at his peak. Chen Tian could kill him by using his full strength. He had been able to deal with him and seal him in his first life, and Chen Tian could do the same in this life. This was Chen Tian's confidence.
Xie Shao Tian and Chen Tian moved, both turning into streaks of light. *Dong dong dong*, fists collided with fists. Chen Tian's fist was like a steel behemoth, while Xie Shao Mie's fist intertwined with a vast ocean. One hard, one soft, they clashed. In their collision, Chen Tian and Xie Shao Mie's fists were evenly matched. The two cosmic consciousnesses watching from the side had stopped fighting. The outcome was up to Chen Tian and Xie Shao Mie to decide the course of the battle, so they might as well watch the show.
The residual shockwaves from Chen Tian and Xie Shao Mie's clash pushed both of them back. This clash could be considered an even match. The main reason was that Xie Shao Mie had not yet adapted to the order of this universe, and he had just been revived, so his strength was not fully recovered. Chen Tian had also not used his full power in his previous moves. Chen Tian's full burst state was the Samsara Body. The Samsara Body in his first life was Chen Tian's most powerful technique, but with the cosmic consciousnesses present, Chen Tian couldn't activate it.
If he revealed his Samsara Body, the cosmic consciousnesses would know about his eleven lives of Samsara, and they might even personally intervene to eliminate Chen Tian. Little did Chen Tian know, the cosmic consciousnesses already knew about his eleven lives of Samsara. They had not stopped him until now; instead, they had been helping him. Chen Tian and Xie Shao Mie were enveloped by their auras, two opposing forces. They stood in the sky. Chen Tian moved first, seizing the initiative. This was Chen Tian's thought: he absolutely could not let Xie Shao Mie gain the upper hand.
Chen Tian's figure swayed left and right, his footwork agile, his movements constantly shifting angles as he closed in on Xie Shao Mie. Xie Shao Mie, seeing Chen Tian approach, his expression changed. His Evil Spirit Claw extended, sharp claws lunging fiercely at Chen Tian. Chen Tian opened his palm. The Evil Spirit Claw was entwined with Evil Spirit power. Chen Tian's palm was also wrapped in Evil Spirit power and other energies. As the purest of the Evil Spirit race, Xie Shao Mie possessed the Evil Spirit bloodline. The first batch of Evil Spirit races generally had this bloodline.
Chen Tian couldn't quite understand what he was doing in his first life, creating such beings and races. Chen Tian's palm countered the claw. The ripples spread. Xie Shao Mie shifted slightly, and the air current collapsed. Chen Tian was sent flying. Xie Shao Mie walked out slowly, saying, "Your strength has weakened so much. It seems you haven't fully recovered. You are no match for me now. Die."
"You can try."
Chen Tian sneered, his face expressionless, as if confident. Chen Tian possessed the power of confidence. Chen Tian and Xie Shao Mie turned into two streaks of light that collided. Chen Tian's fist swung out fiercely, his left fist moving in a straight line. Xie Shao Mie grabbed Chen Tian's fist. Chen Tian's right hand circled from the right, striking towards Xie Shao Mie. Xie Shao Mie flicked his hand, tossing Chen Tian's left fist aside. Facing Chen Tian's right arm, he slowly raised it, blocking the punch. Chen Tian spun, his left leg transforming into a scythe, as if the god of death had descended to take Xie Shao Mie's head.
Xie Shao Mie, as if he had anticipated this, leaned back, his body bending. This retreat grazed past Xie Shao Mie's face, an ingenious evasion. Xie Shao Mie flipped his body. Chen Tian knew it was bad and forcefully created distance. After creating distance, Xie Shao Mie's legs swept out in a crescent moon. Fortunately, Chen Tian had created distance, otherwise he would have been injured. Xie Shao Mie showed no reaction to Chen Tian's combat awareness.
It was laughable; if that strike had hit Chen Tian, it would mean Chen Tian wasn't worth his revenge yet. Xie Shao Mie wanted to defeat Chen Tian completely, not to crush him one-sidedly. He wanted to humiliate Chen Tian and repay what he had suffered tenfold. Chen Tian clenched his fist. It was difficult for Chen Tian to win in his current state unless he used the Samsara Body. Chen Tian was sure that Xie Shao Mie was also not using his full strength; both were still in a probing phase.
But in this life, his cultivation time was too short. Only half a year had passed since Chen Tian started playing the game. His strength had recovered too slowly. He should have accelerated his game level and completed the fusion earlier. Chen Tian decided to speed up his progress in this game. Runes appeared in Chen Tian's hand, their power flowing. This was the ability of other Samsara Bodies, and it was very simple for Chen Tian to activate it with his current strength, as it was all within Chen Tian's memory.
Chen Tian's palm was covered by runes, and his hand seemed to transform. Chen Tian stepped out, a fierce wind swirling around his legs, elemental power fully displayed. All elemental forces in the universe erupted from Chen Tian's body. Chen Tian possessed the ability to control energy, allowing him to manipulate any energy in the universe, including cosmic elemental energy. Elemental energy armed Chen Tian's entire body. Chen Tian, in this state, resembled the legendary Armored Warrior, his speed increasing by thirty times.
To Xie Shao Mie, this increase in speed was practically imperceptible. Xie Shao Mie unleashed his aura, and black armor covered him: the Evil Spirit Armor. This Evil Spirit Armor was no ordinary one. As one of the first Evil Spirit races created, the Evil Spirit Armor's defense was absolutely powerful. The Evil Spirit Armor used by the Evil Spirit race was a weakened version created by Chen Tian. Xie Shao Mie's armor was the unweakened version. If the Evil Spirit race's armor was T1 level, then Xie Shao Mie's Evil Spirit Armor was T0 level.
They were on entirely different levels. Chen Tian and Xie Shao Mie turned into streaks of light, and a massive explosion resounded, shockwaves sweeping out. The two cosmic consciousnesses, witnessing this, decisively intervened, creating a barrier to contain the shockwaves. Such powerful shockwaves, if they propagated through the universe, would alter the cosmic space and the order of the universe. The cosmic consciousnesses could not allow such a thing to happen.
"Their strength is already close to what we were when we first formed. I can't believe humans can reach this level."
At the center of the battlefield, Chen Tian's arm and Xie Shao Mie's arms appeared motionless. In reality, they had already exchanged thousands of attacks and defenses. The speed of Chen Tian and Xie Shao Mie's attacks was so fast that the image seemed frozen, time seemingly stopped.
To an outsider, their battle looked like they were standing still. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that they were not. Their fight was incredibly intense and fierce. With the eyesight of two cosmic consciousnesses, they could naturally tell who had the upper hand.
However, this had no bearing on the outcome. The real battle had not yet begun, and Chen Tian and Xie Shao Mie's struggle was far from over. Who would win or lose was still uncertain.
The two cosmic consciousnesses naturally wanted the person they favored to win, but looking at the situation, it would take a long time to determine the victor.
