Chen Tian, observing the surrounding black oceanic liquid, grew cautious, realizing his opponent's ability likely involved controlling this fluid.
Immersed in the black liquid ocean, Chen Tian had to remain vigilant. With liquid everywhere, he was unsure from where Mo Yuan might launch his attack.
Noticing Chen Tian's caution, Mo Yuan's lips curved slightly. He then declared, "Here, I am invincible. Surrender and accept your fate!"
Chen Tian, however, shook his head. "Is that even possible?"
Though Chen Tian was unaware of the nature of the liquid ocean, a counter-strategy had already formed in his mind. He then unleashed a radiant nine-colored light, instantly forming a nine-colored armor covered in dragon scales. Chen Tian appeared like a general on the battlefield, his arms engulfed by nine-colored flames and ice crystals that flowed around them.
Chen Tian took a step forward, and the black liquid beneath his feet instantly dissipated, revealing emptiness. Seeing this method was feasible, he swung his arms, launching nine-colored divine fireballs and divine ice crystals directly at Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan retreated a step. Instantly, black water curtains shot towards the sky, blocking his path. Chen Tian's fireballs and ice crystals struck the water curtains, which then acted like a colossal hand, descending and dragging the projectiles into the black liquid ocean.
Chen Tian became more wary. Mo Yuan's eyes flashed, and water spikes shot out from above Chen Tian's head, aiming for his skull. Chen Tian's body radiated a nine-colored glow, his armor seemingly alive, entwined by phantom dragon and phoenix forms. The water spikes shattered against these projections, transforming into droplets that fell back into the ocean.
But Mo Yuan clenched his palm, and the shattered droplets suddenly shot towards Chen Tian. Upon contact with the dragon and phoenix projections, explosions erupted as countless water droplets detonated. Mo Yuan stood with his back to Chen Tian, a confident expression on his face.
A true man never looks back at an explosion!
A figure emerged from the blast. Chen Tian looked at Mo Yuan, finding him rather troublesome.
Chen Tian had no idea about the weaknesses or capabilities of this black liquid, and he was constantly at a disadvantage. His attacks were always absorbed by the ocean below, leaving him frustrated.
Numerous scenarios flashed through Chen Tian's mind, but he couldn't deduce the correct outcomes due to a lack of information.
Chen Tian decided to observe further. Once he had enough information, it would be Mo Yuan's turn to be passive. Mo Yuan, looking at Chen Tian in the sky, realized his previous attack hadn't caused significant damage. Indeed, the defensive power of the dragon and phoenix races was formidable.
Moreover, the youth before him had inherited the powers of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix Ancestor, making him naturally stronger than an ordinary member of these races. Mo Yuan knew his last move was merely a probe. Now, seeing Chen Tian unharmed, he formed a plan.
He stepped forward, his feet landing on the surface of the black ocean. Instantly, a tsunami erupted, raging uncontrollably as colossal water curtains crashed down towards Chen Tian.
Chen Tian, facing the tremendous water curtains, had his arms engulfed by divine fire, a fusion of divine fire, dragon clan power, and Phoenix Ancestor's might. He then swung his hand, releasing a nine-colored flame blade that resembled a phantom phoenix, flying directly towards the water curtains.
The tsunami raged, the water curtains ceaseless!
Nine-colored Phoenix Blade, Divine Fire Descends!
Skill: Roaring Annihilation!
Skill: Phoenix Fire Blade!
As their skills collided, the Phoenix Fire Blade sliced through the water curtains. However, the curtains kept reappearing, leading to a stalemate. Chen Tian's hand strikes didn't cease, and with swift motions, he unleashed more Phoenix Fire Blades, continuously targeting the water curtains.
Huge explosions thundered across the water's surface, the powerful shockwaves forcing both combatants to shield their eyes. When the waves subsided, Chen Tian and Mo Yuan's gazes sharpened, and they attacked once more.
Nine-colored divine ice covered Chen Tian's arms, generating countless thin crystal shards that resembled scales. These scales filled the air around Chen Tian and over the entire ocean surface.
Then, Chen Tian moved his arms, and the crystal shards began to assemble. A nine-colored scaled Azure Dragon appeared beside Chen Tian. Simultaneously, Chen Tian pushed forward, unleashing a nine-colored light that entered the Azure Dragon's body. The Azure Dragon roared and charged towards Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan stomped his foot. Suddenly, earth spikes emerged from both the ocean in the sky and the one beneath his feet. They converged, squeezing towards the Azure Dragon from above and below.
Nine-Colored Azure Dragon, roaring at the heavens, scales gleaming!
Black Water Earth Spikes, converging above and below, crushing attack!
Skill: Nine Scale Azure Dragon Kill!
Skill: Water Pinching Spike!
Instantly, the Azure Dragon's body was squeezed by the black water spikes. The spikes, with their fearsome sharpness, scraped against the dragon's scales, producing sparks. Then, with a boom, an explosion sounded, and Chen Tian's Azure Dragon was obliterated.
Chen Tian was stunned. This move wasn't weak, but Mo Yuan's strength was comparable to his own. He still hadn't fully grasped the properties and abilities of the surrounding black water, so Chen Tian hadn't used his full power in this attack, yet it shouldn't have been defeated so easily.
It could only be said that Mo Yuan was indeed formidable. Even a normal Emperor-level player or boss wouldn't dare to take this attack head-on, yet Mo Yuan had resisted it with ease. Chen Tian had to treat him with utmost caution.
He then radiated light, his scales parting. His dragon scales detached and wrapped around his body, forming a massive shield in front of him.
With a thought, Chen Tian willed the scales to assemble into a cannon shape. A nine-colored beam of light shot out.
Mo Yuan's eyes flickered. From the water surface, a colossal black water hand emerged and pulled the nine-colored beam into the black water.
Chen Tian moved his mind again, and countless scales shot towards Mo Yuan, attacking from various directions. The nine-colored scales were like blades. Mo Yuan paid them no mind, casually waving an arm. The water surface beneath him enveloped him. The scales struck Mo Yuan's black cocoon and bounced off.
Chen Tian was astonished. What exactly was this black liquid? Was it that bizarre? Or were all Demon Spirit race members this strange?
