Chen Tian looked at the Ice Queen before him, who had completely transformed. He tensed up, knowing that a corrupted creature's strength would increase exponentially.
Chen Tian watched as the Ice Queen's ice turned black. Its black body, colossal in size, resembled a giant.
A faint blue flame began to emanate from Chen Tian’s hands – the divine fire. Simultaneously, he donned his purplish-ice colored armor, and mysterious patterns slowly materialized on his forehead.
Chen Tian gripped his twin blades and instantly appeared before the Ice Queen. Striking first was the best strategy. His dual blades flashed, blue flames erupting as they sliced directly towards her. Chen Tian himself was engulfed in a faint blue flame, appearing like a man made of fire.
The terrifying, scorching yet chilling flames propelled Chen Tian’s body directly towards the Ice Queen. Her eyes were now utterly hollow as she slowly extended her massive ice claw.
The ice claw extended gradually, and a colossal phantom claw shot out. The black phantom claw seemed to emerge from the depths of the earth, like a claw from hell.
Chen Tian’s body collided with the claw. Simultaneously, he was sent flying backward towards the wall, embedding himself in the ice. His purplish-ice armor slowly shattered, and his health decreased by 25%.
Chen Tian looked at the Ice Queen. Its level had reached the White Blaze tier. In his current state, he was no match for it. However, only in this state could he utilize elemental power. What should he do?
"Dragon Transformation and Phoenix Transformation are on cooldown. Only in my Elf form is my elemental mastery at its strongest. What can I do?"
Chen Tian's heart grew anxious. He had no more trump cards; his most powerful skills were all on cooldown. Suddenly, countless images flashed through Chen Tian’s mind. One image froze, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "I'll risk it. If my calculations are correct, I will win this time."
As if making a momentous decision, Chen Tian’s left side began to glow with a faint blue flame, while his right side was suffused with purplish-ice light. Two different colors, two different elements. Divine Ice and Divine Fire separated on his left and right. At the same time, Chen Tian’s figure shot directly towards the Ice Queen’s body.
His speed was like a meteor falling, incredibly fast. Terrifying ice and fire power permeated the sky, as if the entire heavens were enveloped by a purple starry expanse, with faint blue starlight twinkling above.
Seeing Chen Tian’s move, the Ice Queen spread its arms. Instantly, a colossal black ice claw appeared before it, then opened up to form a massive ice claw shield, blocking its front.
A slight smile curved Chen Tian’s lips. It was exactly as he had calculated. Now, Chen Tian's hands began to emanate terrifying Divine Ice and Divine Fire. Blue flames and purplish-ice fragments continuously intertwined, and a colossal longbow materialized before Chen Tian’s body.
The blue and purple longbow was composed of Divine Ice and Divine Fire, carrying immense power. Chen Tian’s figure then became the arrow, and with a *whoosh*, he shot himself out.
His speed became even more terrifying. In an instant, he pierced through the ice claw shield and, closing the distance, rammed into the Ice Queen’s body. At the same time, fearsome ice and fire spikes erupted.
Terrifying purplish-ice spikes and blue fire spikes shot out from Chen Tian’s body like a porcupine, constantly lengthening and expanding. The entire castle was soon filled with ice and fire spikes.
Skill: Ice-Fire Blazing Kill
As the ice and fire spikes retracted, Chen Tian’s figure flew out again. The Ice Queen clutched its abdomen with one hand, where a small indentation pulsed with blue-purple light. "Roar!" The Ice Queen, seemingly enraged, slowly raised its claws. Fearsome black ice crystals continuously appeared, forming a colossal black crystal sphere of light.
It then hurled the sphere at Chen Tian. Seeing this, Chen Tian’s lips curled into a smile. This situation was also within his calculations. Now for the next part.
He spread his left and right hands simultaneously. Divine Ice and Divine Fire appeared, transforming into two great suns. The suns slowly merged together, and Chen Tian pushed them forward with his hands.
The blue-purple sphere of light collided with the black crystal sphere. Terrifying shockwaves swept out, and explosions echoed as Chen Tian was pushed backward by the black crystal sphere.
"Bang!"
The moment he hit the wall, the colossal black crystal exploded. Chen Tian’s figure reappeared hundreds of meters away from the explosion's radius.
Skill: Teleportation!
Chen Tian had calculated that this move would have an explosive impact, so he had teleported out in advance. Otherwise, he would have died from this strike.
Chen Tian looked at the Ice Queen. His previous Ice-Fire Blazing Kill had stripped away its armor. Now, as long as he proceeded according to his calculations, he could win, but he needed to be cautious. Calculations were just calculations; everything depended on the actual situation.
Divine Fire slowly appeared in Chen Tian’s hands, transforming into a longbow. He drew the bowstring with his right hand, and terrifying purplish-ice currents continuously gathered. A faint gale arose beneath Chen Tian’s feet, whistling through the entire ice and snow castle. Countless gales twined around the terrifying purplish-ice arrow, mixed with Divine Fire. Chen Tian drew the bowstring to its limit, then released it, sending the arrow flying.
The purplish-ice arrow, like a flash of light, was instantly before the Ice Queen. Simultaneously, Chen Tian’s figure transformed into afterimages, darting towards the Ice Queen.
The Ice Queen, seeing the purplish-ice arrow, extended its black ice claw. A faint black light emanated from the claw, and its phantom image flickered. The purplish-ice arrow was caught in the Ice Queen’s ice claw and, with a gentle squeeze, shattered instantly.
The oppressive aura of a boss washed over him, but Chen Tian did not flinch. This outcome was also included in his calculations. Chen Tian’s figure became countless afterimages, and violent flames erupted around him, his aura soaring.
He charged forward, unleashing several explosions in mid-air. In an instant, Chen Tian used the force of the explosions to reach the Ice Queen.
His body then underwent a violent reaction, creating a colossal mushroom cloud of blue flame.
Skill: Self-Immolation Divine Fire.
Chen Tian’s figure reappeared amidst the blue flames and starlight, looking exhausted at the scene.
With the maximum output of Self-Immolation Divine Fire, he had also been hit by the explosion, leaving him with only 10% health. This move was akin to sacrificing eight thousand to wound the enemy ten thousand. His health was already low. Chen Tian looked at the blue flame mushroom cloud, anticipating the Ice Queen’s fate.
"Swoosh!"
A black beam of light shot out from the mushroom cloud. Seeing this, Chen Tian transformed his Divine Fire into an elemental longbow. He drew the bowstring, and terrifying elemental fluctuations arose. Countless blue flames gathered in the center of the longbow. As Chen Tian released the string, a blue wave of light shot out.
Skill: Elemental Wave.
This was a skill of unknown level that Chen Tian had learned. He rarely used it because of its immense cost. With just this one Divine Fire Wave, his elemental mastery had been reduced to zero.
The azure flame wave, like a spiraling wave, shot directly at the black beam of light. The two attacks collided.
The wind generated by the colossal explosion blew away the blue flame mushroom cloud, revealing the Ice Queen before Chen Tian. Chen Tian exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible? You survived my Self-Immolation Divine Fire without a single drop of health lost?"
Looking at the health bar above her head, which showed no reduction, Chen Tian was dumbfounded. The Self-Immolation Divine Fire skill, at full power, could kill even god-tier bosses. Of course, that was assuming Chen Tian’s level had increased to unlock its full potential, but he was only level thirty!
Its power was not to be underestimated, especially with his King-tier elemental mastery. This move's power should have been amplified seven to eightfold. Why was she unharmed?
"Crack crack!"
Cracks began to appear on the Ice Queen’s body. Chen Tian looked closer and saw that her entire body was covered in fine fissures, like a vase on the verge of shattering.
Then, she exploded. Chen Tian stared at the scene, astonished. Before him stood a woman, radiating an evil aura. She was tall and exuded a strange aura. A large character for "evil" floated above her head. Her handsome face was paired with a wicked smile and a majestic evil energy, making one feel as if they were trapped in quicksand, unable to move.
"Little one, not bad. You managed to kill the object I possessed in one blow. Pity you didn't wound me, but instead, you helped me break free from my suppression. How shall I thank you? This debt must be repaid, so I shall kill you. What do you say?"
The woman said with an evil smile, slowly extending her slender finger. Instantly, her black finger became sharp, her entire hand resembling a razor-sharp blade, like a cutting disc.
Chen Tian looked at his own body, completely unable to move. Her mere aura had rendered him immobile. What kind of monster was this woman?
Chen Tian, with all his might, extended a finger and tapped on her forehead. *Swish*, the attribute panel appeared in Chen Tian’s eyes.
Chen Tian's expression turned to despair. He resigned himself; this time, he might truly die.
"Brother! Catch this!"
A voice slowly sounded in Chen Tian’s ear. He looked over and saw Qingling. However, Qingling was now severely damaged, her health at 1%. With all her strength, she swung her arm, and a glowing object flew from her right hand towards Chen Tian.
"Ant, seeking death!"
The woman slowly looked towards Qingling. A terrifying wave of energy swept over Qingling’s figure, and she vanished into specks of starlight.
"Brother, cheer up! I'll wait for you!"
Qingling's last words echoed. The moment Qingling disappeared, Chen Tian, for some unknown reason, erupted with immense power, breaking free from his restraints. He instantly appeared before the object Qingling had thrown.
The light embedded itself directly into Chen Tian’s chest. Before Chen Tian could react, a terrifying power erupted from within him.
"Ding! Congratulations, Player, on obtaining the Heart of Ice and Snow. The Ice King and Ice Queen professions have fused, granting you the special profession: Ice Lord."
Chen Tian was stunned. A special profession, something unheard of in the game. But Chen Tian no longer doubted; his entire body radiated a terrifying power. The surrounding space slowly froze, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and a biting cold permeated the entire space.
Snowflakes drifted in the void-like dark space. Chen Tian's figure slowly began to change.
The woman looked at the figure before her with horror. "Old undying one, you're not dead yet!"
"If you are not dead, how could I possibly die? We will resist your Evil Spirit race until the end!"
Chen Tian’s pupils turned into a pair of translucent azure eyes, like ice crystals. His hair stood on end, as if frozen, like hair that had just been washed and then frozen solid outside in winter. His hair was surrounded by ice crystals, as if his hair was made of ice crystals.
His entire skin began to emit a faint layer of ice crystals, forming a suit of armor to protect him. Simultaneously, he clenched his left hand, and a halberd made of ice materialized in his hand.
A cape appeared on his back, and crystalline wrist blades formed and retracted on his arms.
