Chen Tian’s feet also stepped out instantly, a terrifying speed erupting. The purple-ice long halberd in his hand also spun up. Huo Long Yun reacted upon seeing this, then loosed his bowstring, an arrow of fire shooting out instantly as he retreated.
But Chen Tian, with the long halberd in hand, instantly slashed out. How could a halberd made of divine ice be a match for ordinary flames? It was instantly cut into countless fragments, rushing towards Huo Long Yun. Huo Long Yun, however, kept retreating in the sky, shooting arrows of fire.
Several shots per second, like a handgun without bullets, continuously fired, creating a dense rain of fire arrows that instantly appeared before him. Chen Tian held the long halberd in both hands, then swung them left and right, and countless arrows were slowly cut to pieces by Chen Tian’s long halberd. Huo Long Yun, however, aimed at the sky again. From the sky above Chen Tian’s head, a fiery red arrow shot out.
With a bang, it exploded, and the arrow of fire turned into a red cloud of flame. Chen Tian looked at the fiery cloud above his head and slowly spun the divine ice long halberd with his left hand, forming a circular shield above his head. The divine ice long halberd then detached from Chen Tian’s hand and continued to spin.
Telekinesis was the ability of a Gunner, but Chen Tian, being proficient in all professions, could perform the skills of any profession.
Chen Tian watched as an endless rain of fireballs and fiery meteors descended from the fiery cloud, falling upon the ground like a downpour.
Huo Long Yun smirked as he looked at Chen Tian. He might not be skilled with melee weapons, but he had his tricks. Looking at Chen Tian enveloped by the fire rain, he thought this move was like an endless downpour of fiery rain and meteors.
Chen Tian was curious. Didn't Huo Long Yun need to expend elemental energy to maintain a skill state like this?
Suddenly, Chen Tian seemed to remember something.
"That's not right! I have the Elemental God Body, I can tank it! Why am I defending here!"
"Ahem! I forgot. The battle was too intense, and I forgot. My apologies!"
Chen Tian felt speechless. Then, the purple-ice long halberd returned to his hand, ceasing its spin. Instantly, countless fireballs and fiery meteors surged towards Chen Tian's body.
Huo Long Yun thought Chen Tian was doomed when suddenly a figure burst forth from the fire rain, charging directly at Huo Long Yun.
Huo Long Yun was stunned when he saw Chen Tian's condition. This guy was completely unharmed. How was this possible?
That was fire, after all! And a rain of fire at that. How did he do it?
But surprise aside, Huo Long Yun saw the divine ice long halberd before him. He drew his long bow, and with a crack, the bow shattered. The halberd lunged towards Huo Long Yun's cheek, but Huo Long Yun reacted, dodging instantly. The attack missed.
Huo Long Yun's stats were not to be trifled with, close to ten thousand, and not just for show. Chen Tian watched his halberd miss, then swept it horizontally towards Huo Long Yun's waist. Huo Long Yun gripped his hands, and a pair of flaming twin blades appeared, blocking the strike. Then, with a full-powered swing, Chen Tian was sent staggering back.
Huo Long Yun looked at Chen Tian and said, "That’s enough! It’s time to get serious!"
"Alright!"
Chen Tian saw the opponent's weakness with melee weapons and naturally wouldn't refuse, otherwise, it would be bullying.
Then, the weapons in both their hands dissipated. In Chen Tian's hand, a purple amethyst floated, and with a flick of his arm, countless purple amethysts shot towards Huo Long Yun.
Huo Long Yun, seeing the divine ice before him, extended his palm, but suddenly a figure appeared before Huo Long Yun. It was Huo Po.
Then, Huo Po waved his robe, and terrifying white flames erupted, forming the shapes of skeletons that collided with Chen Tian's purple amethysts.
Huo Po said calmly, "Huo Long Yun, this guy wields divine ice. Your flames are no match. Let me handle him! You go deal with Shui Li!"
"Alright!"
Meanwhile, Shui Li broke through the surrounding wall of white flames with a bang and appeared before Chen Tian, saying, "Chen Tian, be careful! This guy is one of the Monarchs, ranked in the top four, and he controls divine fire!"
Shui Li knew he was no match for Huo Po. He then looked at Huo Long Yun. Huo Po, with his divine fire, could counter all water elements. Unless it was divine water or divine ice, it would be impossible to win.
Chen Tian looked at Huo Po before him, his expression utterly calm. Dark energy swirled in the corners of his eyes. Chen Tian paid it no mind, and then their eyes met.
Chen Tian and Huo Po both attacked simultaneously. White fireballs and purple ice orbs shot out and collided. The clash of divine fire and divine ice created a void of white, and the attacks vanished.
It was a draw. Chen Tian’s Divine Eye provided information: the opponent's divine fire was Bone Marrow Divine Fire, a flame that grew within bones, nurtured by the essence of bones and the fire from the earth's core.
According to the setting, this was an evil divine fire. For every being, there were good and bad people, but evil or good depended on the user's intent.
Good and evil were essentially one. A single thought could lead to evil, and another to good. The use of power entirely depended on the user's intention.
Even if it was an evil divine fire, if used by a good person, it would be righteous. If an evil person mastered it and committed evil deeds, then it would be evil.
Players, NPCs, and items were all the same in Chen Tian's view. However, this information also revealed the uncanny nature of this divine fire.
Their eyes met again. Chen Tian’s divine ice was yin in nature, and the opponent’s divine fire was also yin. Their collision could only be described as a draw.
Divine fire and divine ice inherently countered each other, and coupled with the same attributes, the reaction was very intense.
But Chen Tian did not give up. He then clapped his hands together and opened them. In his left hand was a great sun ice orb, and in his right hand was another great sun ice orb. The ice orbs made of divine ice slowly fused under Chen Tian's manipulation.
Seeing this, Huo Po extended his finger, opened his index finger, and pointed it at Chen Tian. Instantly, the white flames covering his body gathered and coiled around his index finger. Then, a white beam of light shot out.
The sky seemed to be surrounded by a skull made of flames, with constant wails and negative emotions filling the sky.
Chen Tian's intuition kept him unaffected, but this move indeed had the ability to influence players' minds, slowing down their attacks.
But Chen Tian was different. He then threw out a divine ice orb, a great sun ice orb even larger than the sun, with both hands, and retreated. He made a circular shield motion with his hands, and instantly a shield made of divine ice blocked in front of him.
The white beam of light collided with the purple ice orb. Instantly, the beam pierced through the ice orb, creating a small hole on its surface. Then, the ice orb exploded, but as it exploded, countless purple amethysts were scattered from the surrounding area, shooting down the fiery phantom skulls.
Huo Po stomped his foot, and instantly white flames enveloped his entire body. Countless divine ice shards struck him but had no effect, exploding upon impact.
Chen Tian's divine ice shield also blocked the shooting amethysts. Chen Tian gasped. This was an indiscriminate attack, and he had to defend well.
Although Chen Tian was elementally immune, the extent of his Elemental God Body could only immunize some special flames and ordinary flames. The opponent’s divine fire had corrosive and contaminating properties, which could not be immunized.
This was quite troublesome, and Chen Tian pondered how to deal with him.
