Chen Tian's dual sabers clashed with the spear, and the more they fought, the more surprised the Zijing Winged Dragon became. It knew that the spear in its hand was forged from its own crystal dragon scales. The inherent hardness of crystal, coupled with the reinforcement of dragon scales, made the Dragon Scale Spear exceptionally durable, far beyond the ability of ordinary weapons to contend with. Yet, Chen Tian's dual sabers effortlessly matched its weapon, just as they had his long sword before.
Chen Tian's dual sabers swung continuously. The Zijing Winged Dragon's spear swept out in a wide, powerful arc. As they collided, Chen Tian's sabers pressed down, forcing the Zijing Winged Dragon to retreat, its spear struggling to hold its ground. The clanging reverberated through the sky. The Zijing Winged Dragon couldn't comprehend it – was this human youth so formidable?
Chen Tian watched as the equipment in his backpack gradually disappeared. After fighting for so long, a fifth of his items and equipment had been consumed. Chen Tian felt a pang of heartache. These were essential items for the game, now being burned away and damaged bit by bit. This mode was too resource-intensive.
Chen Tian's eyes glinted with determination. He decided to end the fight quickly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have enough in his backpack. Once his current state vanished, he wouldn't be a match for the Zijing Winged Dragon. Chen Tian's attack speed increased. Under a flurry of saber light and afterimages, countless saber strikes blanketed the Zijing Winged Dragon's entire body. The Zijing Winged Dragon's eyes widened in bewilderment. What was this guy thinking? Had he eaten gunpowder? Why was his offensive so suddenly fierce?
Seeing Chen Tian's attack speed and strength steadily increasing, the Zijing Winged Dragon knew it could no longer hold back. It unleashed its full power, its spear dancing in its grip. Countless spear shadows collided with the dual sabers, and terrifying shockwaves erupted across the sky, engulfing the heavens and earth. The impact even spread beyond their immediate space, towards the plains. Numerous demonic beasts were instantly annihilated by the shockwaves.
Chen Tian and the Zijing Winged Dragon were of such high realms and strength that even the shockwaves from their clashes were beyond the resilience of these lesser beasts. Fortunately, the shockwaves did not reach Xue Qingyou, or she might have been annihilated. If Xue Qingyou died, Chen Tian's efforts would have been in vain.
Within the spatial void, Chen Tian and the Zijing Winged Dragon simultaneously retreated, carving arcs across the sky with their spear and sabers, respectively. Both were inwardly shaken. They had both used their full strength, yet the battle remained undecided. They didn't know how to assess this fight.
The Zijing Winged Dragon's Dragon Scale Spear vanished, and its entire body became enveloped in a purple aura. Chen Tian's eyes observed the Zijing Winged Dragon's stats, which were rapidly escalating, even changing.
A terrifying power and aura emanated from it. Chen Tian looked at the characteristics section.

Chen Tian looked at the attributes before him. The level had reached Blue Bell Tier, and the stats had increased significantly, yet it was still climbing. This Berserk trait was truly terrifying.
Chen Tian's eyes narrowed sharply. He had to interrupt its Berserk state, or it would become insurmountable as its power continued to grow. Chen Tian's dual sabers became entwined with Divine Ice, Divine Fire, Dragon Phoenix Power, and Nine-Colored Power, unleashing immense force. The surrounding space seemed to fracture. To interrupt the Zijing Winged Dragon's Berserk, a ferocious strike was needed. Chen Tian fused these powers together, forming a grey aura and energy that coiled around his sabers. He hurled the sabers, which transformed into grey streaks of light. With a swift *whizz*, they struck the Zijing Winged Dragon's body. The sabers pierced through the Zijing Winged Dragon's crystal wings, creating two holes. The Zijing Winged Dragon cried out in pain. Due to the damage, its Berserk state was interrupted.
Chen Tian exhaled. Fortunately, he had stopped it. Any further amplification would have had unimaginable consequences. Chen Tian observed the numbers: one white point equaled a thousand numerical points, meaning its current stats were three times what they were before. This was even after interrupting its Berserk.
Chen Tian looked at the armor section, which had surpassed two thousand points. Two thousand white points of damage meant he needed to inflict two million damage to overcome its defense. With all his stats combined, he couldn't even reach two million.
Chen Tian was momentarily at a loss for how to continue fighting. How was this even possible?
The Zijing Winged Dragon felt the boundless power surging within it and roared, "Human, it is your honor to die by my hand. You are the first human to force me into Berserk. You can be proud. Now, die."
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
It let out a sky-rending roar. Waves of energy and sound slammed into Chen Tian's body. Skill: Howl.
Chen Tian was repeatedly thrown back by the shockwaves and blasts of energy. All his defensive measures shattered, and he was finally slammed into the mountainside. He spat out fragments of internal organs, his health bar dropping to a mere 1 point.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for comprehending the skill: Indomitable Will. Fatal damage will be reduced to 1 point."
Chen Tian had learned a game skill at the critical moment, thus saving his life. Otherwise, he would have died long ago. Chen Tian spoke, "System, switch system. Switch to the Sacred God Realm system panel."
"Ding! Transforming system panel and mode..."
"Conversion complete."
Chen Tian's imposing aura began to weaken. The game system allowed the use of in-game items, but different modes had different limitations. Previously, Chen Tian had activated the game system mode to contend with the Zijing Winged Dragon, as certain abilities could only be used in that mode. However, the game system had a drawback: if the health bar was emptied, it meant death.
Chen Tian had no choice but to switch system modes to the Sacred God Realm system. He walked out of the mountainside, which exploded and collapsed, a testament to the power of the Zijing Winged Dragon's Howl.
It was a small mercy that Chen Tian had not died. Chen Tian looked at the Zijing Winged Dragon. He had no other choice but to use that move.
The Chaos Origin within him vibrated, and streams of grey energy flowed into Chen Tian's heart. They moved to the two hearts on either side of his chest, merging in the center. A grey heart began to form, connecting all his nerves. Chen Tian's injuries healed in an instant, and an overwhelming aura surged towards the heavens.
The Zijing Winged Dragon appeared panicked. The aura and energy erupting from Chen Tian made it wary. How was this possible? How could a human possess such power? The Zijing Winged Dragon truly couldn't believe it.
