Countless purple ice crystal shards continuously formed a circular shield, rotating at extremely high speeds like a spinning disc.
Beams of purple light shot out from the center of the disc, akin to lasers.
The purple lasers were fierce, direct, and dazzlingly beautiful, like an aurora borealis.
Countless purple laser beams shot directly towards Chen Tian. Seeing this, Chen Tian's entire body instantly emitted a faint nine-colored glow, his scales slowly shimmering. Simultaneously, countless scales detached from his body.
Numerous scales appeared in front of Chen Tian, instantly linking together like a jigsaw puzzle, piece by piece.
In an instant, a seven-colored giant shield materialized before Chen Tian. This shield was V-shaped, radiating a nine-colored brilliance.
Nine-Colored Dragon Scale Shield, radiating glorious light, exuding dragon's might.
Skill: Nine-Colored Dragon Scale Shield.
Chen Tian watched as the opponent's purple lasers struck his Nine-Colored Dragon Scale Shield. The shield instantly erupted with nine-colored light, and the purple lasers had no effect whatsoever against it.
Just as Chen Tian thought he was safe, dozens of purple lasers suddenly pierced through his seven-colored dragon scale shield and headed towards him.
The purple lasers carried a chilling aura, their purple light as dazzling as shooting stars.
Instantly, Chen Tian's body was engulfed by explosions, and his health decreased by 15%.
Chen Tian slowly emerged from the explosion, his voice calm, "Damn it, the effect of Armor Piercing Type II ignores all defenses and deals direct damage."
Chen Tian looked at the Frost Phoenix before him. He had to take the initiative now. Its characteristic, especially the Armor Piercing Type II, was an enhanced armor-piercing capability.
Unlike ordinary armor-piercing abilities, Armor Piercing Type II ignored all defenses, even bypassing Chen Tian's Elemental Divine Body.
Chen Tian gazed at the Frost Phoenix. Its ice-purple body was roughly the same size as him, but its wings were like a celestial canopy, its ice-purple wings seemingly covering the entire sky.
Chen Tian slowly opened his dragon maw, and terrifying blue flames began to form into swirling vortexes within his mouth.
Upon seeing this, the Frost Phoenix let out a cry. Its sharp beak instantly expelled a gust of cold wind, an ice-purple gale that seemed to freeze the heavens and earth.
Instantly, the surrounding environment transformed into a world of ice-purple ice. Both the sky and the ground were rendered in a transparent, amethyst state.
Chen Tian and the Frost Phoenix's figures were reflected within it. Chen Tian looked at the cold wind rushing towards him and opened his mouth, unleashing a massive blast of blue flame.
Ice-Purple Gale, chilling wind, freezing the world.
Blazing Blue Flame, extreme cold, melting all around.
When the purple cold wind and the blue flame collided, a chain reaction occurred, resulting in a massive explosion. Terrifying shockwaves rippled outwards.
Chen Tian was pushed back several steps by the shockwave. The Frost Phoenix crossed its wings in front of its body, and the terrifying shockwave struck its wings with no discernible effect.
Chen Tian looked at the Frost Phoenix, finding it rather troublesome. He might not even be its match in dragon form, and his dragon form lasted only an hour.
Due to his dragon blood, his dragon transformation ability had been extended significantly, now lasting a full hour.
However, killing it within an hour would be difficult, as this wasn't his first dragon transformation, and his stats weren't the initial 70,000.
His first dragon transformation was purely due to the Ancestral Dragon's blessing that pushed him to 70,000. Since then, his dragon form required him to collect dragon blood and bones to strengthen his attributes and abilities.
His current stats were only 30,000, but he could still contend with the Frost Phoenix to some extent.
After all, both the Dragon and Phoenix races were top-tier beast races on the continent, both leading species at their peak.
Chen Tian looked at the Frost Phoenix. He only had forty minutes left. He had to defeat it within forty minutes.
Chen Tian's body surged towards the sky. As a dragon, he had the right to soar freely. In the sky, Chen Tian looked down at the Frost Phoenix, his entire body radiating a nine-colored glow. Beams of nine-colored light converged into numerous nine-colored lines that flowed into Chen Tian's throat.
Terrifying power gathered within Chen Tian's body. The nine-colored lines seemed to represent worlds, rules, and order.
When countless worlds, countless rules, and countless orders fused together, it would be a fearsome strike.
Dragons, as one of the divine beasts, represented their race, the world, and the rules of order.
The Frost Phoenix watched Chen Tian's actions, cried out, and its body shimmered with a faint ice-purple light. Its two massive wings slowly enveloped it, and terrifying ice instantly covered its entire body, starting from its wings.
At this moment, the Frost Phoenix looked like an eggshell, albeit an ice-purple one.
Within Chen Tian's mouth, terrifying power continuously gathered. A faint nine-colored vortex appeared and gradually grew larger, soon extending outside Chen Tian's mouth and rotating there.
Chen Tian opened his mouth and roared, unleashing a terrifying nine-colored beam of light that shot out from his maw.
The fearsome nine-colored beam of light shot out from Chen Tian's mouth, directly at the Frost Phoenix.
Nine-Colored Light Beam, vast as the world, rules of heaven and earth, order of heaven and earth, annihilating all things, erasing everything.
Skill: Ancestral Dragon Nine-Colored Light.
This was the Ancestral Dragon's most powerful move, and also Chen Tian's most powerful move in his current dragon form.
This strike directly hit the Frost Phoenix. Instantly, the nine-colored light beam struck the ice-purple eggshell. "Crack" sounds echoed, the sounds of cracks appearing, the sounds of ice shattering.
Seeing an opportunity, Chen Tian once again opened his dragon maw. The nine-colored beam became even more dazzling, appearing in the sky like a nine-colored rainbow.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion erupted, and countless ice-purple ice shards and crystals rained down from the sky onto the ground.
The terrifying nine-colored light illuminated the entire sky, and Chen Tian stopped attacking, floating in the air and observing.
The absence of an amplified sound meant this strike hadn't finished the opponent.
At this moment, Chen Tian's nine-colored scaled body and wings dimmed, his entire attribute dropping to 15,000.
This was a move that consumed his essence. Chen Tian had expected to kill the opponent with one blow, but he hadn't expected it to survive. How was this possible?
The Dragon race's ultimate attacks had armor-piercing and tearing effects. He couldn't believe the opponent wouldn't die.
A cry echoed in Chen Tian's ears, and a figure shot upwards. The nine-colored light dispersed, revealing a phoenix wreathed in purple-red flames before Chen Tian's eyes.
Chen Tian looked at the creature, and his dragon eyes instantly provided information.
It was different, the information was different from before.

Chen Tian looked at the attributes. Good heavens, he had forgotten that the Phoenix race's core essence was rebirth through Nirvana.
Furthermore, due to the influence of the Black Flame, after Nirvana, it had transformed into a fire-attribute phoenix.
Chen Tian's scalp tingled. Although attributes would halve after Nirvana, the opponent had forcefully raised itself to level 100, which was quite troublesome.
Level 100 represented a qualitative leap. The opponent's skill damage and attacks would be significantly more potent than before.
Level 100 was a crucial stage for breaking free from novice status. Players would experience a substantial increase in strength within level 100, and their abilities and skills would undergo a qualitative change. Only upon completing the breakthrough quest would they truly leave the novice stage.
That was when true combat began. Chen Tian looked at the Flame Phoenix before him, its entire body composed of flames, completely different from before, as if it had no physical form.
The phoenix that had seemed quite beautiful before now appeared incredibly bizarre.
Within the crimson flames, ice-purple ice crystals continuously covered it. And within the flames, a faint black flame flickered, as if trying to seize control of the body, slowly expanding.
The Flame Phoenix let out a pained cry. At this moment, it regained a sliver of sanity due to Nirvana.
"Attack me, quickly attack me, before I lose my mind and am completely controlled. This is your only chance, destined one!"
A girl's voice echoed in Chen Tian's mind. Chen Tian looked around and then spoke, "Was that you?"
Chen Tian was surprised, as this was not how NPCs behaved. They weren't friends, and NPCs couldn't directly speak into a player's thoughts.
"It was me. Quickly, kill me, or I will become a puppet of the Dark Abyss, and your world and our world will be destroyed. Don't hesitate, quickly, attack with all your might! Quickly!"
Chen Tian listened to the Frost Phoenix's voice in his mind and looked at its pained body, struggling to resist. However, the black flames were like unstoppable ink, and the Frost Phoenix was like a white canvas that, once stained, could not be removed, slowly being swallowed and colored black.
Chen Tian stopped contemplating. This was an NPC, but why was it exceeding NPC parameters? Chen Tian could only inquire about this later.
Terrifying cold air gathered in Chen Tian's mouth. A stream of frigid energy shot out from his maw and rushed towards the Frost Phoenix.
Instantly, the Frost Phoenix was engulfed by the frigid energy, frozen into a massive block of ice.
"That's better. Make your move, destined one."
Chen Tian heard the woman's voice in his mind and lightly flicked his dragon tail in a crescent arc, swinging it towards the Frost Phoenix.
Just as Chen Tian's dragon tail was about to strike the Frost Phoenix, a change occurred. Terrifying black flames erupted from the surrounding void.
Chen Tian's dragon tail sustained damage, emitting a sizzling sound, and at the same time, the Frost Phoenix's body slowly emerged from the melting ice.
"Destined one, this is my last remaining strength. Please save me. I will become a puppet of the Dark Abyss. Please release me, I beg you, to save this world, to save your own world."
The Frost Phoenix mustered all its strength and spat out a cerulean orb of light that shot towards Chen Tian. Before Chen Tian could react, the cerulean orb had already entered his body.
