When Chen Tian awoke, he looked at his body. It had coiled around several times, becoming even larger and more resilient.
In his dragon form, all his attributes had reached thirty thousand. A terrifying number; thirty thousand was the cap for level eighty or even level ninety players. He was equivalent to a level ninety player while in his dragon form.
Chen Tian familiarized himself with his body, not transforming back into human form. Instead, he shot straight into the sky, like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, instantly heading towards the mountaintop.
At the summit, a massive vortex slowly spun above. Chen Tian gazed at the azure vortex and murmured, "Is this the entrance to the next trial? With my current dragon form attributes, I have no fear."
Instantly, Chen Tian's body plunged into the vortex. His body, hundreds of meters long, finally passed through the vortex entirely after more than ten seconds.
When Chen Tian reappeared, he found himself in a palace. His immense body was quite restricted within the palace, so he had to coil up.
"Little one, the third and fourth trials are unnecessary. We acknowledge you. Take these two snowflake imprints!"
Two beams of light shot out from the ice sculptures. Chen Tian extended his mouth and silently grasped them, asking in confusion, "Why?"
"Haha! Little one, you should have said you were of the dragon race earlier. Since ancient times, the dragon and phoenix races have been the peak races among beasts. Our four trials are to test whether the challenger has the ability to save the master. As a member of the dragon race, you share a similar origin with the master. Perhaps you truly can save the master."
"We believe in you! Young one."
Following this, the four ice sculptures slowly vanished beside the throne. Chen Tian nodded silently as the ice sculptures disappeared, determined to complete this mission.
Chen Tian, transformed into his ancestral dragon form, then opened his mouth and spat out the two snowflake imprints.
It was unavoidable; the ancestral dragon's body was too large to move within the palace. Chen Tian feared he might destroy the palace.
After being swallowed and expelled by Chen Tian, the snowflake imprints instantly adhered to the pillars. With Chen Tian's attributes reaching thirty thousand, if he couldn't place them precisely, he shouldn't be playing the game.
As the two snowflake imprints were embedded in the ice pillars, the four pillars instantly emitted four different colored lights. Strange patterns continuously appeared on the ice pillars, each with a different colored pattern.
The light was dazzling and blinding, beautiful like the fairy lights at home.
Four beams of colored light shot out from the snowflake grooves. The light beams from the north, south, east, and west pillars collided in the center.
A massive magic array appeared on the floor in the center of the palace. As the magic array materialized, everything within the palace slowly dissolved into ice-blue fragments, drifting upwards.
Simultaneously, everything around turned black, as if the palace were being consumed by the void.
All things would return to nothingness, to darkness.
The magic array flickered faintly. Chen Tian stood in the darkness, watching the magic array transform. Cracks suddenly appeared around the magic array, and countless purple-blue gaseous currents flowed out from it.
Chen Tian felt the surrounding darkness instantly regain light. Everything around instantly transformed into a world of immense purple ice.
The ground was made of purple ice blocks, reflecting Chen Tian's form. Countless purple crystals emerged from the ground, rooting themselves.
But they were not true purple crystals, merely shaped like them from purple ice blocks, closely resembling the real thing.
"Roar!"
A cry echoed in Chen Tian's ears. From within the giant purple-blue magic array, a massive wing slowly extended. It was a giant wing formed of purple ice, several hundred meters in size.
As the wing extended, the magic array instantly collapsed. A purple figure slowly ascended into the air. It instantly spread its wings, like a fledgling bird escaping its cage.
Chen Tian looked at the creature before him, its body the same size as his own. It was a phoenix formed of purple ice. Its purple-ice body reflected the surrounding light, appearing crystal clear, as if made of crystal, bright as a mirror.
Its massive purple-ice wings slowly spread. The feathers on them were also made of purple ice blocks, resembling thin flakes, densely packed. When light passed through these feathers, they appeared to glow with purple light.
The entire wings looked like wings made of purple crystal. Its massive head bore triangular imprints of purple ice, and its black eyes flowed with a dark, chilling flame.
This pair of black flames seemed incongruous with its majestic presence. Chen Tian gazed at the colossal creature before him.
Instantly, information appeared in his eyes.

Chen Tian looked at its attributes. "Good heavens, these attributes! If I weren't in my dragon form, I might not be able to defeat it!"
Chen Tian looked at the purple-ice phoenix before him. Its entire body was so beautiful, its purple form like that of a formed purple crystal, but its black flaming eyes truly affected the visual appeal.
The Frost Phoenix looked at Chen Tian. Due to the corruption, it had lost its ability to speak and immediately attacked.
It instantly exhaled a stream of purple-ice mist from its mouth. The purple-ice mist surged towards Chen Tian like a storm.
Wherever it passed, the air and surroundings turned purple-ice. Chen Tian also extended his mouth.
A stream of azure flame light shot out from his mouth. The clash of ice and fire instantly erupted in an explosion.
Chen Tian looked at the blinding light of the explosion. He hadn't expected the divine fire and divine ice to neutralize each other, with neither gaining an advantage. He had thought the divine fire would have the upper hand.
As the light dispersed, the Frost Phoenix's wings slowly spread, its feathers continuously shimmering. It flapped its wings instantly.
"Shu Shu Shu!"
Countless purple-ice flakes, like a dense rain, shot towards Chen Tian.
Chen Tian watched as the opponent unleashed its skill. He opened his dragon mouth, tilted his head back, and a torrent of fierce azure flames gathered in Chen Tian's mouth.
Chen Tian's body formed an 'S' shape. He instantly opened his mouth, and streams of azure fireballs spurted out, like a Gatling gun.
The sky was filled with ice crystals, purple light blinding, dazzling and spectacular.
Azure fireballs, as blue as the sea, cold and burning.
Skill: Feather Ice Kill
Skill: Burning Sky Firelight
Their skills collided. The clash of divine ice and divine fire generated a massive energy reaction, and an instant vortex appeared from the collision, swallowing all attacks.
This exchange was a draw, but Chen Tian knew he had given his all. The opponent had not.
Then, his dragon eyes scanned. 'Ever Victorious' and 'Body Strengthening' activated. His entire body's multicolored scales emanated a colorful glow, and his attributes slowly increased.
Seeing that its attack had not killed the creature before it, the Frost Phoenix became even more enraged. The flames in its eyes flickered more intensely, as if filled with even greater killing intent towards Chen Tian.
It cried to the heavens. Instantly, the purple crystals on the ground around it began to tremble. Numerous purple crystals broke free from the ground and shot upwards, like countless ground spikes piercing the sky.
Chen Tian looked at the purple crystals below him. The area covered by the purple crystals was like a blanket hundreds of meters wide. His massive body had no room to dodge.
Chen Tian remained calm. A faint colorful glow emanated from his entire body, and his defensive power instantly increased severalfold.
Countless purple crystals shattered upon striking Chen Tian. His defense had increased by several times.
Seeing that the purple crystals could not harm Chen Tian, the Frost Phoenix flapped its wings slightly. The numerous purple crystals began to rotate together, forming shield-like shapes, some rhomboid, some circular. The tips of each crystal pointed towards the tips of another.
