Qingyang was also in a difficult situation. What was originally an advantageous situation gradually turned into a disadvantage for the Xie Ling race as Ba Yuan unleashed his full power. Ba Yuan was different from Yun Liu. Yun Liu directly activated his Xie Ling aura and bloodline, transforming bit by bit into a Xie Ling. Ba Yuan, on the other hand, directly transformed into a Xie Ling, losing all reason. Compared to Yun Liu's method, this approach allowed him to retain his sanity. It was normal for Qingyang to be unable to defeat him in his current state; the gap between them was simply too large.
His long spear continuously defended, spun, and swung, its vibrant spear-flourishes constantly parrying the onslaught of fists. The power of the fist attacks grew stronger, so much so that it pierced through the spear and entered his body. This forced him to divert some of his strength to counter this destructive force, which could ravage his body and required cautious handling. This only worsened his combat situation.
"Aha, where has your earlier arrogance gone? This time, let's see how you resist."
Ba Yuan felt an unprecedented power, a power that would allow him to dominate the world. Indeed, by serving that certain adult, he could obtain everything he desired. He failed to notice that he was gradually approaching Xie Ling transformation. Even the slightest change was beyond his control. These humans were merely pawns of the Xie Ling race. It could only be said that Ba Yuan's thoughts were too idealistic.
Ba Yuan's fist shattered the long spear into two pieces. He retreated, forcefully stabilizing himself. The fist lunged towards him. This punch was unavoidable. What should he do? Was he going to die here? But he couldn't fall here. He had been granted this strength and mission by Chen Tian, and he could not fall before protecting the world.
He swung the long spears in his left and right hands. Two beams of light bloomed from them, and then the spears flew into the air, spinning to form two shields. The circular shields were formed by the spinning spears. His twin fists struck the shields. The sudden turn of events caught Ba Yuan off guard. When the shields exploded, he was pushed back by the shockwave.
A voice echoed in Qingyang's mind: 'I have enhanced your weapon. This weapon will aid you in combat.'
His heart surged with excitement. It was Chen Tian's voice. It seemed Chen Tian had intervened. But how could he do that when he hadn't returned from his own battle?
As he pondered this, two beams of light appeared in his hands. A flood of information entered his mind. Looking at the two long spears in his hands, his confidence grew. With the help of these weapons, he would not lose this battle, nor could he possibly lose. To lose would be to betray Chen Tian's expectations and his help.
Light erupted from the tips of the two spears in his hands. With twin spears in his grip, he launched a rapid series of thrusting attacks. Seeing this, Ba Yuan became even more assured of victory. He had not yet used his full strength.
On Li Huan's side, his dragon claws clashed with the Xie Ling claws. His figure and the light streaked past each other, their speed so fast it was imperceptible to the naked eye. The players watching from below were at a loss. The battles in the venue below had long since ended, but the two battlefields above them were beyond the reach of ordinary players. They couldn't even enter the battle zones, and could only watch the air currents and shockwaves from the ground.
The oppressive sight of dark clouds like an impending storm had long since cleared as all the Xie Ling race players were slain.
Both figures retreated. Chen Tian and Xie Gui faced each other. The ethereal figure behind Xie Gui was that guy, Tian. No wonder he wasn't afraid of my Samsara Body. With the augmentation of Tian's origin, the Samsara Body could at best be a draw against him. It seemed all of this was meticulously planned. Unfortunately, that guy had underestimated me.
He didn't know that the Samsara Body wasn't just one. He would never have guessed that I had other Samsara Bodies to use. However, now was not the time. Using the power of two Samsara Bodies would be too much for Chen Tian's main body to bear. The unleashed power would only last for three seconds. Three seconds was a very short time; the timing had to be precise.
He spread his arms, condensing an energy cannon. The cannon shot out, colliding with the energy beam. Neither side yielded, both gritting their teeth and increasing their power.
"Impossible, impossible, I don't believe it, I can't defeat you."
Seeing how powerful and beyond normal existence he was, even regaining his Samsara memories wouldn't explain this. He had never heard of such an existence among Samsara users. Chen Tian was undoubtedly the first.
Such a person should not exist in this world. As he was in shock, a colossal power suddenly emanated from the opponent. This power was different from the one they were clashing with; it was an unknown force.
This power entered the energy cannon. Chen Tian roared, "It's time to end this."
Behind him stood another ethereal figure, shrouded and its face indiscernible. This was the third Samsara Body. Energy surged, and his body began to rupture, blood flowing from within. The energy cannon pushed forward relentlessly. This sight filled him with a sense of mortal peril.
"No, I don't believe it, you actually… how can the universe tolerate someone like you? No!"
Before he could finish speaking, his figure was engulfed by the energy cannon, turning to dust and dissipating beneath it. At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Using the power of two Samsara Bodies was still a strain. Fortunately, he hadn't exceeded the time limit and only sustained some injuries.
He had no time to adjust his injuries. The cultivation world and the real world awaited him. Just as he was about to set off, a familiar voice echoed, "Wait, your backlash is too severe. Come here and recuperate for a while."
"You're actually helping me? I can't believe it. It seems you know I'm about to reach transcendence. Why are you helping me?"
"It's not to help you, but because this universe is about to change. Static rules, in my opinion, are chains. I want you to unify the entire universe."
The visitor was none other than the consciousness of the universe, which had long noticed his presence here. He had expected to be punished, but instead, it offered help.
"Thank you, but..."
"I know what you're thinking, but you must trust your companions. They will hold on until you return."
"Alright."
After hesitating, Chen Tian chose to trust his friends upon hearing the universe's words. He believed they would persevere.
In his current state, even going to help would limit his strength. Dealing with Xie Gui alone required him to unleash his full power. Furthermore, it took time to recover; activating the Samsara Body wasn't as simple as just wanting to.
He left this space with the universe's consciousness. Recuperating in cosmic space would be much faster than here, and the assistance would accelerate his recovery beyond normal speed.
Sheng Qing and Xie Shang clashed. They fought continuously for three days and three nights, neither able to gain the upper hand, yet both were entangled and unable to disengage. This led to a stalemate.
"Do you think I'm helpless just because we're in a stalemate?"
Xie Shang's lips curved slightly, his smile carrying an ominous feeling. A bad premonition arose in his heart.
The next moment, his figure split. There were three Xie Shangs, not clones but his main body, split into three. Three figures attacked in different directions simultaneously. The strength of these three was identical, not weakened versions of the original.
From a stalemate, the situation turned passive. This was Xie Shang's second ability. Speed was an ability he developed himself, while body splitting was his innate capability.
Facing the attacks of three figures, he found it somewhat strenuous. Primarily, these three were all his main body, with equal strength and formidable attacks. One careless mistake would lead to injury.
Fighting one against three was already difficult, let alone one against three at the same cultivation level. Their foundations were roughly similar.
