Xie Shang was about to fly towards the sealing location of the Immortal Cultivation Realm when two beams of light attacked him from the sides. Xie Shang sneered, "You dare to stop me with this? You're looking for death."
With a full burst of energy waves, the lights stopped. Sheng Tianyi and Qing Yao stood before Xie Shang. Looking at the combination of a man and a woman, he said indifferently, "You think you can stop me? How laughable."
"Go."
Sheng Tianyi and Qing Yao had rushed here the moment they received the information to intercept him. They absolutely could not let him break the seal; this was their Sect Leader's order. If the seal was not broken, the evil spirits in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, who were already troublesome, would become even more difficult to handle. The Immortal Cultivation Realm had been locked in battle for several years and was barely holding on. If the seal were to break, they would likely not be able to endure.
Sheng Tianyi erupted, his aura fully unleashed. Qing Yao's figure was entwined with green light and energy, an aura no weaker than Xie Shang's. He stroked his chin and said, "Not bad, you are enough to play with me. I was bored anyway."
His figure attacked proactively. The Evil Spirit Claws extended, and thousands of illusory Evil Spirit Claws covered the two. Each illusion was as real as a true claw. This was his personal ability; illusory attacks were all real attacks. Therefore, there was no such thing as illusion. As long as he increased his speed, it meant that each claw was Xie Shang himself. The Evil Spirit Claws were not illusions and would not disappear, causing real damage.
Thus, Xie Shang's talent for attack speed was maxed out. Facing thousands of illusions, it was impossible to distinguish which was real. It felt as if all the illusory attacks were real, but how could such an attack be crude?
The eyes of Qing Yao and Sheng Tianyi perceived illusory flashes, but why did they have the feeling that everything was real? It was like a ghost! However, since he was an evil spirit and someone Chen Tian had personally pointed out, he was certainly not ordinary. Facing thousands of attacks, Sheng Tianyi, clad in armor, wielded his spear tightly, thrusting it out continuously. The spear shadows attempted to collide with the claw illusions. However, as they approached, the spear shadows were pierced. Why were they illusions?
"Be careful, his illusions might be a deception."
Qing Yao swung his long whip, which coiled like a spirit snake, crackling. The whip formed a barrier around Sheng Tianyi and Qing Yao, and the claw illusions struck it, making sounds. Qing Yao's strength was slightly insufficient, and he was struggling a bit. Seeing this, Sheng Tianyi knew he had to do something and couldn't let Qing Yao bear it alone.
He spun his spear in his palm, forming a shield. The shield moved behind the whip. The thousands of claw illusions disappeared, and they were panting, covered in sweat.
Just one move from the opponent had made their defense so strenuous. They really didn't know if they could withstand his full power.
Fortunately, Chen Tian had given them a backup, allowing them to learn a skill that granted them power equivalent to their own level. Otherwise, this would have been a suicide mission.
Xie Shang clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, you actually withstood this move. Then, I will increase my attack speed. Can you still hold on?"
His claws extended, and in the instant they were extended, it was impossible to discern the number of claws or how many times he swung. Then, they exploded before Sheng Tianyi and Qing Yao. Black explosion smoke diffused. Xie Shang turned to leave, wanting to depart just like that after dealing with them.
It seemed this plane was too low-level; finding an opponent to fight was too difficult.
"Where do you think you're going? Our fight is far from over."
Two voices came from the same person. A figure emerged from the smoke, exuding powerful and immense realm fluctuations. Xie Shang laughed heartily, "Good, good, good! Let me test your strength. Do you think I'm not your match just because you've merged?"
The scene before him, this person, was Sheng Tianyi. It could not be said to be Sheng Tianyi and Qing Yao merged, but rather a result of Chen Tian bestowing the system fusion ability. The two could fuse to unleash power that could contend with Xie Shang, a fact calculated beforehand.
He had created the Nine Evil Spirits; he knew their strengths.
He didn't ask them to kill him, only to entangle him. Once this side was finished, everything would be over.
Xie Shang and Sheng Qing looked at each other. Sheng Qing was the name after their fusion. A hand extended, claws emerged, with ultimate speed and sound, waves rippled, and the void appeared, swallowing them.
The appearance of the void indicated that both sides possessed equal strength. The space of this plane could not withstand it, just as Chen Tian had predicted.
In the Divine Spirit Realm, below the swordsman competition, players were dueling players. The human players held an advantage in numbers against the puppets. Moreover, the puppets had lost their thinking ability and could not utilize their full strength. The evil spirit puppets' attacks had an assimilation nature, making it difficult for the player side. Continuing the fight would not work; they would all become like the puppets.
Two figures stepped forward, radiating the aura of the Divine Spirit Realm. A man and a woman stood before the players, their Divine Spirit Realm power erupting. These were the two individuals Chen Tian had helped ascend to godhood in the past.
"You all retreat. Leave these guys to us."
"Alright."
The man's figure blurred, and when he stood still, the evil spirit puppets before him exploded and died, such was his formidable strength.
"I'll fight you, Ba Tian Guild Leader Ba Yuan."
A voice rang out from behind the evil spirit army. It was a burly man with weathered skin, exuding an aura of immense power.
"Lackeys of the evil spirits, today is the day of your demise."
"Hahaha, let's see if you have the ability to say that?"
Another youth stood in the sky, Yun Liu, the leader of the Yun Shui Guild.
"One for each, be careful, their strength is similar to ours."
"I know."
Two battlefields opened, and it had now escalated into a confrontation of high-end combatants. Chen Tian and Xie Gui clashed, and neither could gain the upper hand for the time being. Strangely, although Xie Gui had the advantage, he couldn't defeat Chen Tian. This emotional state was very influential; he was always just a little bit short.
"You're still the same as before, always a little bit short, never bridging that tiny gap."
"Shut up, shut up, shut up! My strength crushes yours, what does a small gap matter?"
Xie Gui clearly did not want to hear Chen Tian lecture him about his past. He was still the same now; he always stood above him, giving orders, and never acknowledging him. Among the Nine Sons, he was the most hateful.
His hatred was so intense that he would even become someone else's lackey to kill Chen Tian.
His attacks became fierce, his power, speed, and explosiveness significantly increased due to his emotional state. Chen Tian, who could only defend, found it easy to do so. Logically speaking, in this situation, Xie Gui should have heavily injured Chen Tian, but that tiny, tiny gap was too obvious, making defense effortless.
As he was inferior in strength, the Samsara Body had been activated today and could not be activated again. He could only wait for the next day to defend until then. Proactive offense was not in the calculation; successful defense meant victory.
In the real world, three figures were besieging one person. Pigeon, Number, and Chen Tian's clone sensed the evil spirit aura and came here. Upon seeing the pure evil spirit, they immediately attacked. Three against one, the young girl was still handling it with ease.
Xie Ou chuckled, "Is it really good for three people to deal with one weak woman?"
Her voice carried a hint of seduction. Pigeon and Number's minds trembled. Chen Tian's clone shouted nearby, jolting Pigeon and the others back to their senses. They had almost fallen prey to Xie Ou.
