Chapter 437 Zhan Shoutian

Chen Tian and Shou Tian’s eyes met. Chen Tian’s Heaven Perception and Extreme Dodge were both active. Shou Tian’s figure vanished from Chen Tian’s sight. Without hesitation, Chen Tian somersaulted and spun his body. The ground exploded as Chen Tian landed. He closed his eyes; Shou Tian’s speed was too great. Chen Tian had no chance to counterattack. His only option was to prolong the fight, waiting for the “getting stronger as the battle progresses” effect to stack. Chen Tian was rather doubtful. Could reaching maximum stacks of “getting stronger as the battle progresses” truly contend with Shou Tian?

After all, Shou Tian’s stats were double that of normal players! Even with a thousand percent increase, Chen Tian felt he was no match for the opponent.

Chen Tian’s figure sprinted rapidly to the left, his form becoming a streak of light. Originally, gravel flew and dust swirled. Chen Tian stood his ground, not daring to relax for even a moment. His Heaven Perception could only detect the opponent’s aura, not his figure. Any lapse in concentration would mean certain death.

Chen Tian tilted his body back. Something sliced past his head, the wind howling above him. Chen Tian’s legs spun out, and with a thud, a collision sound echoed. Chen Tian saw nothing before him. His figure was sent flying back by a dozen meters.

Blood trickled from the corner of Chen Tian’s mouth. He wiped his mouth, his expression grave as he stared forward. Shou Tian’s figure appeared. Shou Tian clapped his hands and said, “Not bad. You’re the first person who could sense my attack. But that’s all. I haven’t even used ten percent of my strength. You won’t have another chance.”

Chen Tian replied coldly, “That’s not necessarily true. No one knows who will win or lose until the very end.”

Golden armor appeared all over Chen Tian’s body, and his aura surged. In Shou Tian’s eyes, he was still like an ant. Shou Tian didn’t move. Chen Tian’s abdomen caved in, and his figure was sent flying back. As he retreated, Chen Tian spat out a mouthful of blood. It wasn’t over yet. Shou Tian’s figure appeared behind Chen Tian. With clenched fists, he swung out. Chen Tian’s body seemed to be pierced by energy, and he shot towards the sky. In the sky, Shou Tian extended two fingers, and two black beams of light shot out, piercing Chen Tian’s body.

Chen Tian’s body plummeted towards the ground. His health bar showed only one percent remaining. He had completely lost the ability to act. Chen Tian had used all his armor to resist Shou Tian’s attack. Even so, his health was depleted, leaving him with one percent.

The ground exploded, creating a massive pit. Chen Tian’s figure was submerged in the ground, only his head exposed. Chen Tian looked up at Shou Tian in the sky. The gap in their strength was too vast. His armor was gone, yet he couldn’t withstand the blow. Damn it, what should he do?

Chen Tian couldn’t wait for the “getting stronger as the battle progresses” effect to stack. Shou Tian wouldn’t give him the chance. There wasn’t enough time! The opponent hadn’t even gone all out, and this was the result. If he attacked with full power, it was unimaginable. Chen Tian would have been pulverized into dust long ago.

Shou Tian arrived above Chen Tian’s deep pit. He extended his left arm, and a black sphere of light and energy intertwined in his palm. The sphere aimed at Chen Tian’s head, and terrifying power flowed. This blow caused the surrounding space to subtly fracture. The sphere shot out. Just as it was about to reach Chen Tian’s head, Chen Tian’s eyes snapped shut and then opened, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes. Simultaneously, Chen Tian’s aura surged. The instant the black sphere of light approached Chen Tian’s head, a blood-red shield appeared, blocking it.

The black sphere of light exploded. Chen Tian’s figure shot towards the sky, blood-red wings unfurling behind him. Deep red armor appeared on his body, and he donned his helmet, looking like a Asura.

Chen Tian opened his mouth and said, “Oh dear, oh dear! It seems I can’t continue to slumber. Otherwise, he’ll die and I won’t.”

The tone of voice was not Chen Tian’s. It could be said that this person was not Chen Tian. The original consciousness of Chen Tian was sealed and in a slumber state.

Shou Tian’s dark side and Shou Tian’s true form spoke in unison, “It’s you!”

Chen Tian observed his surroundings and sighed, “Thousands of years have passed, has it changed here too? Is the seal I placed about to be broken?”

“Shou Tian, is this your dark side? No wonder you’ve become like this. I wonder how the seals in other directions are faring.”

Shou Tian shed tears and said, “Lord Asura, we, we have been guarding the seal, but we, we really couldn’t hold on for thousands of years. Now the seal is about to break. I am truly sorry for failing your expectations!”

Shou Tian’s dark side’s expression turned murderous as he glared at Chen Tian, saying ferociously, “I will kill you and avenge my master!”

Chen Tian scoffed, “Do you think you have the ability? Your master might be a match, but not you.”

Chen Tian completely disregarded the current Shou Tian. Shou Tian said no more and swung his fist, the black fist heading straight for Chen Tian’s face. Chen Tian merely opened his eyes, and Shou Tian was frozen in place. Chen Tian lowered his arms and said, “Noisy. Even your master might not be my opponent, let alone you, mere dark side.”

Shou Tian endured the pain and said, “Kill me! Kill me! If you kill me, he won’t be able to survive either. Then the seal will still be broken. If you don’t kill me, I will slowly erode the seal, and eventually, the main body will be under my control. Do it!”

Chen Tian’s expression turned cold. His eyes narrowed, and Shou Tian’s dark side writhed in agony. Chen Tian seemed unconcerned, “Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill this side of you? This seal was created by me. Even if you’ve modified it, I can restore it. What capital do you have to be arrogant with me?”

Blood-red light erupted from his eyes. Shou Tian’s dark side’s body was compressed. Just as it was about to turn into a sphere, a beam of light descended from the sky and struck Shou Tian’s body. Shou Tian spread his arms, breaking free from Chen Tian’s restraint.

Behind Shou Tian, a phantom of a coffin stood in the sky. Shou Tian laughed heartily, “Hahaha! My Lord has made his move! Now I will avenge my Lord!”

Chen Tian looked at the coffin and said, “I was contemplating letting you off earlier, but I didn’t expect you to still be so stubborn after thousands of years. Fine, this time I will destroy you!”

A clear and dreamlike voice echoed from the coffin: “Asura, only you. Only you do I seek revenge from. Even if you are my brother, I must avenge this hatred. I must avenge it. The moment I break free from the seal will be your death.”

The entire coffin merged into Shou Tian’s body. Shou Tian’s entire form changed. Curved black spikes grew on his back, claws extended from his arms, and curved talons appeared on his legs. His black wings folded behind him, and black armor covered his chest. Shou Tian was fully armed, his appearance transformed.

Shou Tian’s aura reached the same level as Chen Tian. Chen Tian shook his head and took a step forward. Instantly, explosions sounded in the sky. Their figures were unseen as their battle entered the flow of time.

In the flow of time, Chen Tian unleashed tens of thousands of punches in a single second, his terrifying fist shadows capable of destroying heaven and earth. Shou Tian easily slashed out with the claws on his arms, resisting. Both sides were equally matched, their strengths on par. With each collision, Chen Tian and Shou Tian were pushed back simultaneously.

Chen Tian knew that the Shou Tian before him was not easy to deal with, but he was still somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected her strength to increase so much, especially while being sealed. Chen Tian estimated that he was currently no match for her.

“But it’s not without a chance, after all, I am different from thousands of years ago.”

Chen Tian comforted himself. He clasped his hands, and a halberd appeared in his grasp: the Asura Halberd. It was a blood-red halberd. The blade of the halberd was composed of skull patterns, and its shaft was made of blood. Red pillars hung from both ends of the halberd. The halberd was seven feet long, light, and seemingly formed of blood, completely wrapped in it.

Shou Tian’s arm claws extended, and both figures charged at each other. The halberd and claws clashed. Chen Tian’s Asura Halberd continuously thrust out, countless halberd shadows shot forth. Shou Tian reacted swiftly, his claws resisting with swings of his arms. Simultaneously, his claws transformed into wrist blades. With a horizontal sweep, he attacked Chen Tian’s cheek. Chen Tian raised his halberd vertically. With a *ding*, the halberd shaft collided with the wrist blade. Their movements alternated, changing Shou Tian’s attack, catching him off guard.

The halberd spun and thrust, striking Shou Tian’s chest armor. The armor remained completely unmarked, which was unbelievable. Shou Tian’s figure jolted, and Chen Tian was immediately pushed back. Chen Tian said, “Oh! A knockback effect?”

Shou Tian’s true form was confined within the Guardian Hall, quietly observing the battle. If he could, he wished he could resolve his dark side himself. But he couldn’t get out now. He was sealed within the hall by the original seal and could only watch helplessly.

Shou Tian’s dark side said, “Your awakening won’t last long, will it?”

Chen Tian: “So what? Killing you is enough!”

“Then let’s try! You will eventually fall back into slumber. That will be your time of death.”

Shou Tian and Chen Tian glared at each other, killing intent evident in their voices. Chen Tian swung the Asura Halberd, creating waves in the air. A blood-red ocean appeared behind Chen Tian, a tsunami-like phenomenon. The ocean repeatedly struck Shou Tian. As long as Chen Tian swung the Asura Halberd, the waves would not stop.

Black wings unfurled behind Shou Tian, flapping simultaneously. Countless feathers shot out, transforming into large, ice-cone-like black spikes. The water curtain and the spikes collided. Both sides persevered. The faster Chen Tian swung, the faster Shou Tian flapped his wings.

A white vortex appeared, swallowing their attacks. Chen Tian and Shou Tian simultaneously stopped their movements. This clash resulted in a draw.

Black wings gathered behind Shou Tian, his entire body spun, and his claws covered his entire body. He transformed into a streak of light, charging at Chen Tian.
