Chen Tian looked at the Demon Origin before him. The Demon Origin met Chen Tian's gaze, and then the two clashed. Chen Tian’s spear danced in his hand, while the Demon Origin, holding a single saber, instantly charged at his opponent.
The Demon Origin struck first, his twin sabers carving through the air on either side before appearing before Chen Tian. Chen Tian reacted swiftly, reversing his spear’s grip and parrying the Demon Origin’s attack. However, the Demon Origin's blows possessed a repelling force, pushing Chen Tian backward.
While defending, Chen Tian found an opening. He thrust his spear forward, piercing through a gap in the Demon Origin’s offense. Seeing this, the Demon Origin slashed with his sabers, the blades clashing against the spear shaft and deflecting it. But Chen Tian’s spear spun rapidly, and he thrust it towards the Demon Origin once more.
The Demon Origin dared not underestimate him. He brought his twin sabers down, the resultant slash colliding with the spear, sending both combatants recoiling. Chen Tian stabilized himself, but the Demon Origin was quicker, appearing before him instantly. The saber descended, and Chen Tian crossed his spear to block, but the Demon Origin’s hands upward-swept, his right saber slicing under Chen Tian’s spear towards the sky. The spear slipped from Chen Tian's grasp as he narrowly dodged, a meter away from the saber’s edge, a few strands of hair falling.
Chen Tian then threw a punch, striking the Demon Origin’s weapon, and leaped into the air. He caught his spear and descended, thrusting it forward.
The Demon Origin remained calm. He pulled his twin sabers apart, transforming them into crescent blades, and slashed out, attacking Chen Tian from different directions.
Chen Tian swung his spear, creating a flurry of motion that formed protective shields around him, momentarily shielding him. Then, he retreated rapidly.
The Demon Origin’s twin sabers reformed into long sabers and swept towards Chen Tian. Chen Tian reacted, his spear sweeping out in a hundred-degree arc, releasing waves of energy.
The Demon Origin swept his hands, unleashing massive saber energy. The black blade energy clashed with the energy waves, cutting through them, but the resulting explosion left both fighters in a stalemate.
Chen Tian’s brow furrowed. The Demon Origin’s strength made him incredibly difficult to deal with. He needed to meticulously devise a plan. Countless scenarios flashed through Chen Tian’s mind, but the Demon Origin attacked decisively, appearing before him. Chen Tian was forced to abandon his calculations and defend.
The spearhead thrust out, transforming into numerous piercing points aimed at the Demon Origin's sabers. Chen Tian's calculations required time, and without it, he had no opportunity.
The previous exchanges had been a game, with both sides holding back, allowing Chen Tian time to analyze. But now, the Demon Origin gave him no respite.
Chen Tian could only defend passively, his calculations constantly interrupted. The Demon Origin spoke, "You need time to calculate my attack patterns and defensive moves, don't you? Too bad I've seen through that. You won't get it!"
Chen Tian froze. The opponent had discovered his ability. It seemed the Demon Origin was not simple.
Seeing his plan exposed, Chen Tian ceased his defensive stance and attacked with all his might. Their figures became a ball of light, colliding and streaking towards the void, causing sonic booms.
Their clash continued, creating rifts. Chen Tian’s spear split in two, and he wielded both halves. The Demon Origin’s twin sabers reappeared, and they chose their attacks.
Chen Tian’s spears moved with fluid grace, while the Demon Origin’s sabers were fierce and powerful, their passage leaving ruptures and gashes.
Chen Tian’s spear lunged towards the Demon Origin’s head, but the twin sabers defended with lightning speed, parrying the thrust. With a flick of his wrist, the Demon Origin spun, his sabers slashing towards Chen Tian’s waist.
Chen Tian’s left spear was flung away, but his right spear blocked. His left hand gestured downwards, and the spear that had been thrown flew from above the Demon Origin’s head, plunging towards him.
The Demon Origin was shocked. Did the opponent also possess psionic abilities? How was this possible?
The Dragon and Phoenix races were of the beast tribe. Beast tribes only possessed intuition as their unique ability.
Where did psionic power come from? No, this human was of the human race, originally human. It wasn't strange for him to use psionic power.
Knowing why Chen Tian could use psionic power, the Demon Origin attacked decisively. He crossed his arms, his sabers crossing as well, slashing out. The spear was repelled by the immense crisscrossing saber marks.
Chen Tian leaped into the air, caught his spear, and thrust it forward. The spear split into two, resembling drills, and he spun, forming a massive silver drill before him that plunged towards the Demon Origin.
Chen Tian transformed himself into a drill, charging at the Demon Origin. Seeing this, the Demon Origin’s sabers glowed with black energy, a terrifying aura swirling around them like mist. He then slashed out, releasing streaks of mist-like saber energy that assailed Chen Tian’s drill.
The drill and saber energy clashed, producing thuds. Chen Tian’s figure stopped in mid-air. Their collision resulted in another stalemate.
Chen Tian clicked his tongue. This kind of fight was futile. If it was always a draw, what was the point of the game?
He began to furiously calculate in his mind, but the Demon Origin offered no opportunity, attacking directly. Chen Tian was forced to interrupt his calculations and defend.
Wild ideas flooded Chen Tian’s mind, so wild he felt they were insane.
During his desperate defense, a thought solidified in Chen Tian’s mind. A smile appeared on his face.
Calculating mid-combat. This was his first attempt, and he had succeeded. Chen Tian then looked at the Demon Origin. His twin spears merged into one long spear. He drew back, clasped his hands, and his body curved like a crescent moon. A giant, nine-colored half-moon appeared in the void. Chen Tian’s arms swept down, and the nine-colored half-moon shot towards the Demon Origin like a blade. Chen Tian’s spear was propelled by a nine-colored gale forming beneath his feet. He kicked the tail of the spear, launching himself and the spear towards the Demon Origin.
Chen Tian’s feet seemed stuck to the spear. He spun, the spear spinning with him. Ahead of the spear was the nine-colored half-moon blade. The Demon Origin, seeing this attack, quickly reverted his sabers to their long form. Holding a saber in one hand, he slashed out, striking the half-moon blade. The Demon Origin used his full strength, blasting the half-moon blade away. Chen Tian’s spear then soared towards the heavens.
The Demon Origin swung his saber, a massive saber mark shooting towards Chen Tian. However, the half-moon blade, after being repelled, instantly appeared before the spear. The spear and the half-moon blade merged, forming a giant nine-colored phoenix phantom in the void. Simultaneously, the ancestral dragon began to materialize from the spear. Chen Tian, enveloped by the phoenix and ancestral dragon phantoms, charged towards the Demon Origin.
The Demon Origin was stunned. Had he actually calculated it? He hadn't given the opponent any opportunities.
The opponent had managed to predict his move to block the half-moon blade, and subsequent attacks as well. It was unbelievable.
Chen Tian’s figure moved towards the massive saber mark, but it was instantly shattered by the phoenix phantom. Chen Tian then advanced towards the Demon Origin.
The Demon Origin remained calm. Black energy surged from his body, and his twin sabers spat out laser-like streams of black mist. He slashed out, striking Chen Tian’s technique.
Chen Tian was forced back, an explosion occurring. Chen Tian and the Demon Origin met each other’s gaze, and their weapons vanished into light.
Weapon combat could no longer determine a victor. It seemed a change was necessary. Both sides had seen through each other's attack and defense patterns, rendering further exchanges meaningless.
Chen Tian then manifested nine-colored flames and ice in his hands. From the Demon Origin’s body, black liquid began to gush, flowing throughout the void, quickly covering it in an ocean of black liquid.
Chen Tian became cautious. He struck out with his fists, sending nine-colored energy spheres flying towards the Demon Origin. The Demon Origin’s body trembled, and from the black liquid ocean, black claws erupted like a raging sea, clawing at Chen Tian’s nine-colored energy spheres, dragging them into the ocean to be silenced.
Chen Tian observed the strange black liquid surrounding him. He had never seen it before, and even his divine eyes provided no information. Chen Tian had to proceed with extreme caution.
The Demon Origin stepped forward, and the black liquid ocean transformed into liquid spikes that shot towards Chen Tian. Chen Tian waved his arm, forming a nine-colored shield before him.
The spikes struck the light shield, and the entire shield slowly turned black. Chen Tian was stunned. Did this liquid have assimilation capabilities?
He dodged, and the light shield vanished. The black spikes plunged into the black ocean beneath Chen Tian's feet. Simultaneously, the ocean churned, and a giant water prison enveloped Chen Tian.
The Demon Origin slowly clenched his fist. The water prison exploded, its roar echoing throughout the void. Chen Tian was protected by a circular shield of nine-colored light, narrowly avoiding the damage.
