Mingshui City, at this moment, Chen Tian's figure left Wang Xuan's villa and appeared outside the villa. Chen Tian sensed something and his figure suddenly appeared again, this time hovering above the entire Mingshui City. The entire city was being gradually swallowed by a mass of black mist. Within the black mist, people were transforming into the appearance of evil spirits, their eyes dark, like puppets.
Chen Tian's expression turned grim. The surrounding martial artists were doing their best but were unable to resolve the strange mist. One martial artist exclaimed in panic, "What is this mist!"
"Why? None of these methods work?"
"Damn it, what have those people turned into? It's so terrifying!"
Chen Tian frowned. The black mist continued to advance. Without hesitation, Chen Tian made his move. This black aura was the origin aura of the evil spirits. As long as humans came into contact with even a trace of it, they would be assimilated into evil spirits, becoming mindless puppets. Chen Tian watched the approaching black mist and appeared before everyone. Just as they were about to ask who he was, Chen Tian waved his hand gently, and instantly a cyan barrier enveloped them. While they were still in shock, Chen Tian charged straight into the black mist.
"Kid, be careful! That mist is strange!"
A young man kindly warned him. Chen Tian naturally knew the danger; no one understood the origin aura of the evil spirits better than he did. His figure arrived before the black mist. The evil spirit origin aura slowly advanced, turning everything it passed into dust. Humans were transformed into mindless evil spirit puppets, over a thousand people. Chen Tian sighed softly, "It seems a massacre is necessary. Don't blame me; you don't even have a chance for reincarnation now."
Humans infected by the evil spirit origin would have their origins assimilated and eroded, losing even the qualification for reincarnation. This was the terrifying aspect of the evil spirits; their assimilation ability was too powerful. Chen Tian doubted where this powerful origin aura was coming from. Even if the seal was broken, only evil spirits would appear, not their origin aura.
Chen Tian didn't ponder much further because, within the origin aura, the evil spirit humans began to emit black light and stared intently at Chen Tian, rushing towards him in a single wave. Chen Tian was stunned; these individuals must have a commander behind them, otherwise, they wouldn't become so frenzied upon seeing him.
Chen Tian's entire body erupted with divine fire. Blue flames burned his body, and then his figure charged into the crowd. A blue explosion echoed, and a mushroom cloud of blue flames rose into the air. Skill: Self-Immolation of the Divine.
Chen Tian's move directly eliminated hundreds of evil spirit humans. However, mysterious powers flowed from the evil spirit origin aura. The previously deceased and shattered evil spirits merged and recovered, becoming intact. Chen Tian's expression changed drastically. He shot two fireballs, one of divine ice and one of divine fire, from his hands. They merged and collided within the crowd. A massive spatial explosion resounded, creating a pit over ten meters deep in the ground and even blasting a hole in the mist. However, the origin aura quickly healed it. This move by Chen Tian reduced the number of enemies by a full thirty percent. The evil spirit origin aura emitted black light, a dazzling radiance that filled the entire city. Under its glow, the affected evil spirit humans evolved, growing wings, sharp claws, and fangs.
The evil spirit origin aura transformed into a ball of light that enveloped Chen Tian and all the evil spirit humans, halting its advance. It was as if this evil spirit origin aura possessed its own consciousness, recognizing Chen Tian as its enemy. Enveloped by the evil spirit origin aura, Chen Tian looked at the thousands of evil spirits before him. They had now fully transformed into evil spirits, no longer in a half-human, half-evil spirit state.
Chen Tian's twin blades appeared, the divine ice twin blades and divine fire twin blades in his left and right hands respectively. Simultaneously, he unfurled purplish-white wings on his back and donned silver armor. His figure charged into the crowd. Thousands of people. This time, Chen Tian was truly going to unleash a massacre. This was the first time Chen Tian had killed so many people, and it was in the real world.
Chen Tian unleashed his full power. These puppets were naturally no match for him, being cut into countless bloody pieces in mere minutes. The blood was black, with severed limbs scattered everywhere. The numerical disadvantage meant nothing to Chen Tian; they were mere puppets, mindless combat machines that were easily dealt with.
After killing over a thousand people, Chen Tian looked at the surrounding evil spirit origin aura. His next step was to eliminate it, otherwise, the entire city would become a dead city, a city of evil spirits.
Just as Chen Tian was about to gather his power for a move, a vortex appeared before him, and a figure emerged. Chen Tian looked at the figure before him in shock, "Why are you here? Did you betray humanity and defect to the evil spirits?"
"The traitor is you!"
The figure was a young man, appearing to be around Chen Tian's age. He wore black clothes and a black robe, with a "Chen" emblem on the collar. The young man had delicate features and a cold gaze, looking at Chen Tian as if facing a mortal enemy.
Chen Yuan said coldly, "This will be your burial ground, Chen Tian. Now I can get my revenge. It's truly good."
"It seems you are the traitor. As a descendant of the Chen family, you defect to an alien race invading the world. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"What is there to be ashamed of? I only know that my power now gives me considerable influence. And I'll tell you directly! I'm not the only one who has betrayed humanity. The entire Chen family and many other families have defected to the evil spirits. This is also why the seal was broken. It's just that the damned Heavenly Dao set up a contract, preventing evil spirits from existing in this world, forcing them to fuse and share a body with us humans. However, as long as you are killed, there will be no more restrictions. Then, this entire planet will be under our control."
Chen Yuan said with wild laughter. Chen Tian's expression turned ice-cold. Was it all for power that he had fallen so low?
Chen Tian's fist instantly reached Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan extended his palm and caught it, then gently tossed. Chen Tian's figure was sent flying. Chen Yuan idly picked his ear and said, "Chen Tian, it's not just you who gained power from games and reality. By fusing with the evil spirit origin, we can also use the power within the game. This time, I will kill you."
Chen Tian sneered, "Then try me!"
Chen Tian and Chen Yuan's figures collided. Their fists and palms met. Both originating from the same family, they understood each other to some extent. Chen Tian's boxing techniques were completely different from before; they were fierce and violent, capable of defeating the opponent with a single punch. Savage power flowed through his fists. Chen Tian never showed mercy to traitors like Chen Yuan. Their fists and palms crashed against each other. Chen Yuan and Chen Tian fought to a draw. With a boom, Chen Tian and Chen Yuan separated. Chen Tian pursed his lips, "Refreshing. Such powerful strength."
Despite his surprise, Chen Tian showed no outward emotion. Normally, Chen Yuan's strength was just slightly inferior to his. Now, with the power of the evil spirits and his game character, it was only natural that he had become stronger. But to Chen Tian, he was still too weak.
Chen Tian's figure split into seven or eight clones, attacking in different directions. Chen Yuan's figure also flashed, leaving behind afterimages. The afterimages collided with the clones, and the afterimages exploded, engulfing the clones. Meanwhile, the true bodies of Chen Tian and Chen Yuan simultaneously gathered power in their palms and fists.
Outside the black barrier, the crowd was still confused, wondering if the young man could survive. Inside the black barrier, streams of liquid appeared. The corpses of the dead evil spirits around were forcefully merged by the liquid, forming a colossal monster. It had a black liquid body and massive arms. It stared intently at the crowd, its arms descending. The massive black liquid arms struck the cyan barrier, causing it to vibrate but not shatter immediately. A crack appeared on the barrier. The black liquid body roared as if enraged, its fists slamming against the barrier again. The cracks on the barrier continued to widen. Chen Tian was unaware of all this, having fallen into Chen Yuan's trap.
Within the black mist barrier, Chen Tian and Chen Yuan gathered two different kinds of power in their fists. They collided simultaneously, both being sent flying backward. Chen Tian activated his skill "The More He Fights, The Stronger He Gets." His strength and Chen Yuan's were equal. Chen Tian estimated that Chen Yuan's game character was of a higher level than his own. Chen Tian also felt that he needed to level up properly.
If he didn't level up properly, when the evil spirits truly appeared, he wouldn't be able to save the world, which would be disastrous.
Chen Tian's aura was powerful, but Chen Yuan seemed unfazed. Sensing something, he smirked. His goal was to hold Chen Tian here. Chen Tian would be dealt with later. Once Chen Tian was eliminated, this world would belong to them, the evil spirits and the Chen family.
Chen Yuan's body was clad in a layer of black armor, lustrous and pristine. Twin daggers appeared in his hands. Chen Tian's hands produced twin blades, and they clashed like streaks of light.
Outside, the cyan barrier, composed of Chen Tian's wind element power, was creaking under the assault of the colossal monster's arms. Cracks spread throughout, and then with a sharp snap, the barrier shattered. The people beneath the barrier were horrified as they looked at the figure before them. The figure opened its massive mouth, and a terrifying suction force emerged. All five hundred people were swallowed into its mouth. The figure transformed into a black liquid sphere floating above the city, seemingly brewing something.
Inside the barrier, Chen Tian felt his protective shield shatter. He also realized he had been tricked. Chen Yuan's target was the martial artists, the martial artists of the entire city. Damn it.
Chen Tian could only hope that Wang Xuan had listened to his words and hadn't gone out. Chen Yuan, taking advantage of Chen Tian's distraction, thrust his twin daggers directly at Chen Tian's heart. Chen Tian's twin blades reacted instantly, blocking the attack. Chen Tian roared, "You actually killed so many people! You are utterly beyond redemption."
"It's worth it to kill so many. A certain great being wants you dead. Die! As long as I can hold you off for a while, once that thing is ready, the whole of China will be ours."
Chen Yuan spoke, his eyes flashing with black light. Chen Tian knew that Chen Yuan's consciousness was disappearing bit by bit, being consumed by the evil spirits.
