The battle had begun at the fortress on the cosmic frontline. Below the fortress, an endless tide of evil spirit creatures was attacking. These beings poured out from the rear gate, and even if one wave was dealt with, another would immediately appear, an unending onslaught. Chen Tian stood atop the fortress, watching the battle unfold below. Humanity was giving its all, unleashing every technique they possessed. Storms of attacks rained down upon the evil spirit creatures, causing massive explosions.
The sky above vibrated with continuous roars. The heavens were the domain of battles between evil generals and deities, while the ground was the battlefield between evil spirit creatures and humans. As the saying goes, generals fight generals, soldiers fight soldiers, and kings fight kings. Chen Tian's clone waited for the opponent to make a move.
Unfortunately, even after waiting until now, the other party seemed unwilling to act. A colossal creature slowly advanced from the rear. It was a massive being, easily seven hundred meters tall, enveloped entirely in a black liquid, appearing like a blob of slime. It possessed over a hundred eyes, moved on four limbs, and its entire body was covered in scales.
This creature was unheard of, something never seen before. This thing, which could be considered an alien life form, let out a furious roar. Black orbs of energy spewed from its mouth, sweeping towards the fortress walls. Seeing the creature attack, Chen Tian could no longer stand by. He flickered, appearing before the wall. His palm opened, and a Tai Chi diagram began to spin.
The black energy orbs were blocked by the Tai Chi diagram. With a twist of his palm, he directly reflected the orbs back towards the evil spirit creatures. The orbs struck the ground, distorting space. Evil spirit creatures in the vicinity of the orbs were all annihilated by the spatial distortion. Chen Tian was shocked; this move possessed the ability of spatial distortion. Fortunately, he had acted just in time.
Otherwise, a portion of the fortress would have been instantly swallowed. He unleashed his full speed, charging towards the black creature. Its colossal body stood out conspicuously. He decided to deal with it first, regardless of what it was. This creature continuously opened spatial portals, and that was the reason the battle had dragged on this long. If it were dealt with, there would be a period of peace.
He charged forward, his palm crackling with energy. He decided to test its defenses first. Having learned of its spatial distortion ability, he wondered what other powers it possessed. With its spacetime transfer and spatial distortion abilities, this behemoth would not be easy to handle; his intuition told him so.
He extended his palm, unleashing a light cannon. The cannon shimmered with five different colors. As it bore down on the creature, a barrier directly intercepted the light cannon's attack. The barrier felt familiar, like an evil spirit race ability barrier, but how did it possess it?
"System, I want to know the origin of this thing."
His clone, just like his main body, had system privileges. His main body was currently dormant, leaving the system free. His clone could naturally query the system for help.
"Analyzing..."
"Ding, this thing is called Shadow Evil Spirit. It was not initially in this state. To grow to this level, it requires a large amount of life essence and vitality from various beings."
"Detected the life essence and vitality of over a thousand evil spirit races within its body. It is likely that this creature became this way by devouring all those who resisted the evil spirit race. Moreover, it can utilize the abilities of the beings it devours."
Upon hearing this, his expression changed drastically. Could this mean it was a fusion product of evil spirits? Did that guy kill all those who resisted and then feed them to this creature? This explained why it possessed spacetime transfer capabilities.
Within the evil spirit race, many individuals possessed such abilities. Chen Tian looked at the Shadow Evil Spirit. Filthy things should not exist. Dual blades materialized in his hands. He unleashed his full power from the start, revealing his true strength. Now that he knew its information, his desire to kill it was strong. There was no need to hide his strength.
He crossed his blades, unleashing a combination of blade energy and shockwaves towards the Shadow Evil Spirit. The Shadow Evil Spirit's hundred eyes fixed on its target. It appeared to have gained sentience, reaching a stage of intelligence. However, today, it was destined to die.
The blades and shockwaves struck the barrier, shattering it. Both these attacks hit its weak points, something its creator would be well aware of concerning the evil spirit race's abilities.
He pressed his attack against the Shadow Evil Spirit, clearly understanding its intentions. It let out a roar, a sound somewhat similar to a beast's but distinctly different. Its hundred eyes shot out beams of light that filled the surrounding hundred miles. His advancing figure was affected by this light; it was incredibly annoying. The main problem was the sheer number of beams, which fired relentlessly.
It was a difficult situation, but fortunately, his forward momentum wasn't significantly hampered. He soon reached its vicinity, his dual blades combining to form a greatsword. He raised the greatsword and brought it down slowly. The power of this strike was terrifying, even leaving a deep gash in space.
Just as the greatsword was about to cleave its body, the creature vanished. It had teleported to evade the strike. By the time Chen Tian reacted, it had reappeared ten meters behind him, charging energy in its mouth. A beam of light shot out, carrying immense power and heading straight for Chen Tian's face.
He dared not be careless, sensing a familiar power within the beam. This beam absolutely could not be allowed to detonate. As the beam approached, Chen Tian formed his arm into a circle, creating a wormhole that sucked the beam into it. His mastery of energy had reached the point where he could create wormholes.
The light beam was absorbed into the wormhole, and when the beam ceased, the wormhole vanished.
"Wuwuwu~"
The Shadow Evil Spirit roared to the heavens, as if venting something. A layer of armor, an evil spirit armor, formed over its body.
Its already formidable defense became even tougher. Wings unfurled from its back, and its body shrank by more than tenfold. It flashed, appearing behind Chen Tian. A leg descended, covered in an evil spirit claw. This single strike was enough to severely injure Chen Tian.
"Careful."
A torrent of sand surged behind him, forming a sand shield that blocked the attack. It was Sen Sha, who had appeared some distance away. Sen Sha, appearing unharmed, said, "Chen Tian, let's team up."
"Good!"
Knowing this creature was difficult to deal with, teaming up with Sen Sha might offer a chance. The sand shield absorbed the attack, and a sand spear shot out from the side, flying towards the creature. The Shadow Evil Spirit sensed danger and activated its teleportation ability, causing all attacks to miss.
Taking advantage of this, it moved to his side and said, "This thing is quite troublesome."
"Hold it off for a while, and I'll seal its teleportation ability."
"Understood, but do it quickly."
A strategy was quickly devised. Sen Sha charged towards the creature, while Chen Tian condensed energy in his palm, preparing to create a special space. To completely seal the teleportation ability, he needed to create a space where teleportation was impossible. For him now, creating such a space was simple. The formation of space was composed of various energies, and with his energy mastery, creating a special space was not difficult.
Rumble!
The sky echoed with continuous noises. It seemed the battle in the heavens was also extremely fierce.
