In the void, Chen Tian and the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider collided. Chen Tian was using his full strength at this moment, and even with the advantage of becoming stronger as the fight went on, he still couldn't break through the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's defenses. Chen Tian was in a difficult position because he couldn't deal with the armor on the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's body. Its defense was too powerful. Furthermore, the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's second life was on a completely different level from its previous one. Chen Tian was already struggling with its defense alone, let alone attacking. In fact, Chen Tian's attacks were insignificant in front of the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider, like a mere itch.
Chen Tian's long sword struck away the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's attacking palm, and he retreated, rolling repeatedly to create distance. Chen Tian panted heavily. He looked at the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider, thinking that this guy must have a weakness. It was impossible for it to have no weakness. As long as Chen Tian found its weakness, victory would be his. However, from beginning to end, Chen Tian hadn't seen any weakness in the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider. It seemed to have no weaknesses, which was very similar to Chen Tian. Chen Tian's weakness was hidden by his own calculation ability, and the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider was the same. The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's combat experience far exceeded Chen Tian's.
Combined with its powerful physique and combat experience, its weaknesses would not be easily exposed. Chen Tian had only managed to defeat its first life by going all out. He didn't dare to play that way with its second life. If a killing blow failed, he would be the one facing death. Chen Tian dared not gamble. Chen Tian did have a way to kill the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's second life, but that method was reserved for its third life. It was too early to use it now, let alone the fact that the second life was already so difficult to deal with, not to mention the third life.
While Chen Tian was contemplating, the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider did not miss the opportunity. It appeared before Chen Tian, its palms transforming into huge black and red pincers. As the pincers descended, Chen Tian blocked with his long sword. Immense power surged into Chen Tian's arm through the sword. Chen Tian felt as if his arm was burdened with several mountains, making it impossible to lift. The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider spoke unhurriedly, "You dare to get distracted while fighting me? You're simply asking for death."
Chen Tian knew what the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider meant. He had only spent 0.1 seconds contemplating, and he was surprised that the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider had noticed. Chen Tian was not worried that this lapse would be fatal. As long as the opponent didn't find Chen Tian's weakness, Chen Tian would not be defeated. Watching the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's pincers descend slowly, Chen Tian's eyes changed color. His Star Dragon Phoenix Wings unfurled from his back. With feathers of stars and wings entwined with dragons and phoenixes, power flowed into his arm, converging on his long sword. The sword shimmered with starlight, and dragons and phoenixes cried out. Chen Tian slashed his long sword fiercely. A sizzling sound erupted, and sparks flew. A small scratch appeared on the black and red pincers. Chen Tian retreated and swung his sword. A phantom sword energy of dragons and phoenixes, infused with starlight, formed an armor that covered him and shot towards the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider. The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider was surprised that this human had actually injured it. It knew that its defense in this form was three times that of its first life. Looking at the shallow scratches on its pincers, the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's resolve strengthened: if this opponent could defeat its second life, then it would...
Chen Tian was unaware of the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's thoughts. The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider, seeing the approaching dragon and phoenix phantoms, extended its pincers into a sword. Its body's thorns gathered into the pincers, forming a long sword. As the sword swung, two consecutive black and red beams of light flashed. The dragon and phoenix phantoms collided with the beams of light, and an explosion ensued. Chen Tian, from within the explosion, rushed towards the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider at high speed. The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider formed a shield with its pincers. Just as Chen Tian was about to swing his sword, a smile played on his lips, and his figure vanished.
"It's a clone."
Only then did the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider realize that the Chen Tian before it was a clone. Chen Tian's clone was identical to the original in every way, both in aura and strength. It was truly lifelike, and the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider couldn't fathom how this kid had created such a cloning technique. So, where was Chen Tian's true body? The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider sensed its surroundings and found that it couldn't locate Chen Tian's presence. His figure seemed to have disappeared. The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider tensed up, knowing that a hidden enemy was the most terrifying. Chen Tian was precisely that kind of enemy. With just a moment of carelessness, his long sword could pierce its head.
A beam of light streaked across, and a sense of danger arose. The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider was protected by its black and red carapace, and the strange patterns on its entire carapace began to flow. The light passed through the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's body without causing any harm. The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider felt its own changes and was perplexed, "What's going on? That sense of danger just now, why was there no damage at all? I didn't even feel a tremor when I activated my defensive state. This is so strange!"
The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider looked at its body, completely unharmed. It refused to believe that the opponent's strength could not inflict any damage. Chen Tian, emerging from the shadows, watched his attack pass through the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider. Everything that had just happened was within Chen Tian's calculations. It was normal for that blow to have no damage. The moment Chen Tian appeared, the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider flashed above him, its pincers opening like the gaping maw of a colossal beast, ready to devour and tear apart his head. Chen Tian saw the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's intention. He held his long sword, his wings unfurled, and a faint purple lightning crackled around him. The thunderous roar of the lightning made Chen Tian seem like the son of thunder at this moment, wielding its power. Chen Tian murmured, "What a shame about the Heavenly Dao Lightning. I wanted to save it as a trump card. Oh well, the Chaos Origin can still nurture it."
The purple lightning in Chen Tian's hand shot out under his control, instantly entering the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's pincers. This lightning was Heavenly Dao Lightning. The Heavenly Dao was the ruler of the world. This Heavenly Dao Lightning was nurtured by the Chaos Origin. When Chen Tian's fusion progress reached a certain level, it would nurture a trace of Heavenly Lightning. The purple lightning was the thirty-third ranked Heavenly Lightning: "Lightning of Annihilation."
The Lightning of Annihilation annihilated everything. This lightning only appeared when peerless prodigies were undergoing tribulation. The Heavenly Dao was the greatest enemy of all cultivators. The ultimate goal of cultivation was the Heavenly Dao, followed by oneself. Enemies were of no importance.
As the Lightning of Annihilation entered the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's pincers, the pincers were about to reach Chen Tian's neck. The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's face contorted in agony. Its entire body began to make cracking sounds. The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider cried out in pain, "You, you, you, what did you do?"
"Ahhhh!"
Intense pain and a brutal force raged within it. The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's internal organs were shattering bit by bit. This kind of pain was not something ordinary demon beasts could endure. Even Chen Tian wouldn't be able to bear it, especially when it involved his internal organs!
"I didn't do anything. That lightning was Heavenly Lightning. Combined with that sword strike earlier, it entered your internal organs. Now, the Heavenly Lightning is furiously ravaging your insides. In a few breaths, your nerves and blood will be completely destroyed."
Chen Tian looked calm. He had already calculated the outcome beforehand. That sword strike from Chen Tian was not without damage; it had delivered the damage internally. Externally, there was no sensation. The moment it entered the body, Chen Tian had calmed the energy, preventing it from erupting internally. Naturally, the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider didn't feel it and assumed Chen Tian's attack was harmless. Little did it know that Chen Tian's sword strike was a setup. While the Heavenly Lightning was powerful, Chen Tian's strength was not enough to unleash even one percent of its power. In its full state, the Heavenly Lightning wouldn't be able to destroy the internal organs. Chen Tian had to find an alternative. Moreover, when the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider opened its pincers to attack, Chen Tian was worried about how to get the Heavenly Lightning into its body. Since it actively presented an opportunity, Chen Tian couldn't let it go.
And so, the situation was as it was. The Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's body exploded with continuous internal noises, and its entire body burst with a boom. Chen Tian stood aside, watching the explosion. It was impossible for the opponent to survive this move. This meant it was time for its third life, which was Chen Tian's hope. He had saved his ultimate trump card for its third life. He only hoped that its third life wouldn't be too formidable.
As the explosion subsided, waves of energy swept away the smoke and effects. Chen Tian looked at the creature before him. It was a dragon. Its massive dragon body flexed, its dragon claws radiated power, and its entire body was covered in black and red scales. It was unclear whether they were scales or dragon scales. It was at least three hundred meters long. Its spider legs were retracted and gathered into armor covering its lower body. With the scales, Chen Tian felt that its defense in this form was even stronger than its previous life.
Chen Tian summoned twin blades. His Ancestral Dragon bloodline was revealed. The Ancestral Dragon bloodline had an influence on dragons. Its third life was in dragon form, and since it was of dragon bloodline, Chen Tian had a thirty percent suppressive effect. When Chen Tian activated his Ancestral Dragon body, the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's expression jolted. It roared, "Ancestral Dragon Body! I didn't expect you to be an heir of the Ancestral Dragon. The Ancestral Dragons have been gone for hundreds of millions of years. If you grow stronger, boy, perhaps no one in the entire world will be your match."
"Come on, let me see if you can pass my test and earn my recognition."
In its third life form, the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider gave the impression of having transformed into an entirely different being. Its tone of voice, style, and aura had all changed. This was the influence of its dragon bloodline. The dominant bloodline in the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider's first and second lives was that of scorpions and spiders. In its third life, the dragon bloodline was dominant. It was known that the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider was a demon beast with three mixed bloodlines, with the dragon bloodline being the most abundant. The scorpion bloodline was second, and the spider bloodline was third. From the initial appearance, Chen Tian had already suspected this.
Chen Tian and the Earth Scorpion Dragon Spider looked at each other. Chen Tian said, "Dragon Transformation!"
This was Chen Tian's first dragon transformation in a long time. His Ancestral Dragon body radiated power, and two massive dragons coiled in the void, their eyes filled with immense fighting spirit.
