In the golden ocean, within the barrier, Chen Tian looked at Nil Lie before him. Nil Lie instantly appeared in front of Chen Tian, who hadn't quite noticed him. A massive claw mark descended. Chen Tian crossed his arms, and the nine-colored scales on his arms emitted a glow before his figure retreated explosively.
Nil Lie's lips curved slightly and he said, "As expected of the Ancestral Dragon's body. This defense is quite good!"
Chen Tian was surprised that the other party recognized his Ancestral Dragon physique. It seemed the other party's origins were also extraordinary!
Then, Chen Tian's figure was enveloped by the nine-colored scales. The scales formed armor that resembled a rainbow armor, but it was nine-colored. Chen Tian, like a general on the battlefield, clenched his fist, and divine fire instantly appeared. A cyan long spear materialized in his hand, while a divine ice shield appeared on his right arm.
Chen Tian was fully armed. A purely physical attack would be impossible to inflict damage, so he directly moved to the next phase: weapons. No matter how tough the opponent's exterior was, his divine fire and divine ice would find a way.
At this moment, Chen Tian's form was: Warrior class!
This was a class usable in the adventurer mode with both shield and spear. The class's characteristics were high defense and armor-piercing capabilities, but it lacked speed. Both evasion and attack speed were slow, requiring immense awareness.
However, Chen Tian had no need to worry. He had mastered all classes, and his attributes did not change when he switched classes. Moreover, Chen Tian was only using the class's weapons; his current class was still the Dragon race class, the Ancestral Dragon!
Chen Tian swung his long spear, instantly throwing his shield. A spear blade shot towards Nil Lie, while the shield spun and flew out, transforming into a light wheel.
Nil Lie sensed a sense of familiarity from Chen Tian's attack pattern, as if he had seen this attack pattern somewhere before.
Then, as he watched the charging shield light wheel, he extended his palm and grasped it. With a crack, the shield light wheel exploded. He caught the spear blade with his hand, then tossed it aside. An explosion sounded behind Nil Lie.
Chen Tian was not surprised in the slightest. This was merely a probing attack; he hadn't used his full strength yet.
No one would unleash their ultimate move at the start of a battle; that was the mark of an unskilled player. Without understanding the opponent, probing was always the best first step.
Only by constantly probing the opponent could you understand their capabilities, their strength, and how powerful they truly were!
Nil Lie suddenly seemed to recall something and then spoke, "Did you kill Xie Mie of the Evil Spirit race? No wonder your attack patterns are so familiar. You learned from Xie Mie, didn't you!"
"Only he would play with weapon transformations like that."
Chen Tian was stunned. The other party actually recognized an Evil Spirit race member. He then replied, "I encountered him, learned from him, and then killed him. What, do you want to avenge him?"
"Hahaha! Avenge him? What a joke! Our Demon Spirit race and the Evil Spirit race have been at war constantly. Why would I avenge him? I'm just surprised by your talent and strength, to be able to kill Xie Mie. You know, Xie Mie's abilities were innate, yet it still took him hundreds of years to achieve that level. You just fought him once and learned it."
"Humans are truly terrifying. However, my Demon Spirit race is not like that fool Xie Mie. He wouldn't last five moves against me. If not for this Sea of Hope, I could have destroyed you in a single move!"
Chen Tian remained silent. He did not deny that without the suppression of the Sea of Hope, he would have no chance against Nil Lie. The opponent's level surpassed the White Blazing level, something Chen Tian could not contend with at present.
Chen Tian's activation of the Dragon race class's Human-Dragon transformation only barely brought him to the White Blazing level. Otherwise, he would have died long ago.
Chen Tian said nothing further. Then, a wrist blade appeared on his arm, which then connected to form a large arm blade. The long spear in his left hand slowly connected with the blade, instantly forming a two-bladed spear in Chen Tian's hand, resembling an axe but different.
The sharp, crescent-shaped blades on both sides covered the body of the spear, while the spearhead itself extended.
Chen Tian then held the spear with one hand and stepped forward, instantly appearing before Nil Lie. The massive long spear descended, its blades carrying terrifying power, tearing through space and air, the wind rushing towards Nil Lie.
Nil Lie did not panic. He drew his left hand, and an item enveloped in black energy materialized in his hand. With a sweep, torrents of air surged and spread.
Chen Tian's attack also shifted. The spear blades were instantly embedded in the black energy, and he began to rotate. Seeing this, Nil Lie leaned back and released his weapon with his left hand. With his right hand, he spun and delivered a kick towards Chen Tian with his left leg.
Chen Tian gripped the long spear with both hands and pulled, adopting an inverted hook stance. The spearhead then thrust directly towards Nil Lie's left leg. Nil Lie naturally dared not take the blow head-on. He withdrew his left leg, and the black energy-covered weapon in his right hand swept out horizontally.
It instantly collided with the spearhead.
A massive explosion and wave of energy erupted. Both combatants retreated. This clash was a draw. Because Chen Tian grew stronger as the fight progressed, his attributes had become very close to Nil Lie's, making a draw a normal outcome.
Meanwhile, the weapon in Nil Lie's hand emerged from the black energy. It was a sword, or perhaps not quite a sword. The blade of the long sword was black, as if crystal dyed black. At the hilt, a black moon was on the left, and a black sun was on the right. In the center of the hilt was a crossed chain pattern, as if sealing something.
Across the entire sword's blade, there was a thin line running down the middle, a black line filling the entire sword.
Nil Lie then spoke, "Since it's a weapon battle, I'll play along. However, you're not enough to make me serious. This sword was once the treasured weapon of your human deities. Today, it will be used to slay you humans!"
Chen Tian activated his Divine Eye, but he couldn't even obtain information about this weapon. It could only be said that the quality of this weapon was too high for his Divine Eye to discern at present.
The Divine Eye was powerful, but it had its limitations, which were tied to Chen Tian's level. The higher Chen Tian's level, the more information he could acquire. If his level was too low, he would be unable to view items of excessively high levels.
Because even if you saw it, it would be useless. It was like a level 20 player encountering level 90 equipment; could they equip it? No, their level was insufficient.
