Chen Tian directly interrupted the opponent's rhythm, absolutely not allowing them to merge. Chen Tian would not be a match for the fused opponent.
Nine-colored light enveloped Chen Tian's fists. With a "bang," he struck the opponent's body. An explosion echoed, and Chen Tian was pushed back. However, Chen Tian's attack had halted the fusion and symbiotic state. A colossal being appeared before Chen Tian.
This colossal being emanated a blood-red glow, and its entire body began to shrink. Soon, it took on the form of a human youth, meeting Chen Tian's gaze. Chen Tian's expression turned solemn. He hadn't expected the opponent to be able to shapeshift in this current state.
The Divine Eye provided information that shocked Chen Tian even further. The opponent's level had reached Level 88 of the White Blaze rank. This was even before reaching a complete symbiotic state; he couldn't imagine how high the level would be in its complete form!
The youth spoke in a calm tone, "Human, you are not bad for knowing how to interrupt our symbiosis. Unfortunately, even after interrupting it, you are still no match for us."
The words spoken seemed to carry two distinct tones, as if the body was controlled by the wills of two individuals. Chen Tian smirked and said, "Heh, by interrupting your symbiosis, I have a chance to resist you! I am no match for your complete form; there's no way."
The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant sneered, "Human, do not be too arrogant. The current me is invincible; I am not like before."
With a step, he instantly appeared before Chen Tian. Chen Tian's eyes snapped open. With a "bang," the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant's blood-red fist struck Chen Tian's spiritual energy barrier, causing cracks to appear throughout it. Chen Tian's figure flickered, disappearing from the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant's sight. Skill: Teleportation!
The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant's attack missed. Chen Tian split into countless clones, all charging towards the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant. To the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant, these were just minor pests. It opened its mouth and unleashed torrents of blood-red storms, obliterating all of Chen Tian's clones. Meanwhile, Chen Tian's true form appeared behind the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant. His nine-colored glowing fists formed an armor, and he swung it with immense force.
Suddenly, dragon wings unfurled from the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant's back, emitting a blood-red radiance. With a flap, the air currents transformed into needle-like gusts of wind, hurtling towards Chen Tian. Chen Tian summoned his dual blades, and with a series of "clangs," he danced them in his hands, deflecting all the wind needles. But then, the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant vanished from his sight.
Chen Tian's spiritual sense and perception of heaven and earth detected a silhouette. He executed an aerial flip followed by a series of rolls as a massive explosion occurred in the sky. The space where Chen Tian had been moments before was now a gaping void. Sweat beaded on Chen Tian's forehead. A direct hit from that attack would have surely been his end!
The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant remarked, "Not bad, quite good observation and reaction skills. Otherwise, with this Dragon Claw Heavy Strike, you would have been severely injured, if not dead."
Chen Tian retorted, "I never asked for your praise!"
A set of starlight armor appeared all over Chen Tian's body, layering over his original golden armor. Wielding starlight dual blades, his class changed to Starlight Emperor. Chen Tian had activated the Starlight Set.
His aura surged continuously. The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant watched Chen Tian's actions with a flicker of interest. It did not interrupt him, wanting to see how long this ant could struggle.
Chen Tian opened his eyes, which now gleamed with starlight. With a thought, the entire sky was painted with the radiance of the cosmos. The blood-red clouds and forests vanished, and the ground transformed into a starlit pathway.
Starlight Emperor Class Skill: Starlight Realm!
This was the most potent skill possessed by the Starlight Emperor. Within the Starlight Realm, Chen Tian's strength increased by thirty percent, and his starlight power became inexhaustible. Chen Tian's eyes narrowed, and his figure flickered. The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant extended its hand to its left, and a fist was instantly grasped.
The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant exclaimed, "So that's how it is! This special barrier significantly boosts your strength. Your current power is almost comparable to mine, but still a little short."
With a flick, it sent Chen Tian flying. Chen Tian steadied himself and replied, "Don't rush, you'll find out soon enough."
Chen Tian and the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant collided. Waves of energy swept out, and the starlight trembled. Within the Starlight Realm, as long as Chen Tian was alive, the barrier would not disappear. Moreover, the buff was continuous, with no time limit, lasting until the very end of the battle.
However, the skill's cooldown was three months, which was a very long time in game time. Chen Tian would only use it out of desperation. Coupled with the Starlight Set's ability, the starlight power effect doubled, making the Starlight Realm's effect sixfold, which was formidable.
Chen Tian's "Fighting Spirit" buff had accumulated to three hundred percent, and his overall attributes and strength had reached Level 80 of the White Blaze rank. With the augmentation from the Starlight Realm and the Starlight Set, Chen Tian would not fear even the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant in its complete form.
The prerequisite was that his "Fighting Spirit" buff needed to accumulate to five hundred percent; only then would he be a match for the opponent.
Chen Tian and the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant clashed. Their fists rained down upon each other. The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant was quite confident in its strength. Both Chen Tian and the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant retreated. Chen Tian retreated a few more steps; he was still not a match for the opponent in terms of pure strength.
But he could at least fight them to a draw. The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant's eyes opened, revealing a yellow glow within its pupils. Its hands instantly transformed into dragon claws, blood-red dragon claws appearing. Its dragon wings unfurled, and with a flash, Chen Tian was sent flying back for hundreds of meters. A claw mark appeared on the armor covering his chest. Chen Tian used Perception of Heaven and Earth; the opponent's speed had far surpassed his, making them impossible to see. Relying on Perception of Heaven and Earth was his only option.
Chen Tian executed a spinning kick with his left leg, seemingly striking something that created a wave of energy. Chen Tian looked at the empty space before him and then lowered his left leg, closing his eyes and clenching his fists, controlling his breathing. Within Perception of Heaven and Earth, Chen Tian saw the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant's figure.
Chen Tian poured half of his strength into his fists and swung them out. With a counter-punch, "Boom!" The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant appeared before Chen Tian. Chen Tian looked at the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant, their fists and dragon claws colliding. This time, Chen Tian used only half of his strength. Sweat still trickled down Chen Tian's forehead.
The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant's power was simply too immense. Chen Tian couldn't hold on!
Chen Tian's mind began to calculate, and a single image froze in his mind. Chen Tian decided to take a gamble. Nine-colored light on Chen Tian's fists began to intertwine with white spiritual energy. The spiritual energy entered his fists, making them even more powerful.
The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant's figure was sent flying by Chen Tian's dual fists. The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant looked astonished and said, "Another type of energy. Kid, you can use another energy, not of this world's power. You are a bug, and bugs must be eliminated."
"Ding! Warning, warning! Identified as a bug by the game boss, Blood Heaven Dragon Ant will enter its complete symbiotic state in five minutes!"
"Ding! Warning, warning! To maintain game balance, the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant's all-around attributes will crush the player. The player has no power to resist!"
"Ding! Warning, warning! Player's death and revival this time will cost thirty years of lifespan. Please cherish it!"
"What the hell!"
Chen Tian could no longer hold back. The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant's body was immediately enveloped by an inexplicable flow of water as the electronic voice sounded. Chen Tian had only five minutes to devise a plan.
"I'm screwed. I should have never used spiritual energy. While I might indeed be considered a bug, how am I supposed to play this game?"
Chen Tian looked utterly despairing. The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant, in order to maintain game balance, would crush the player. This meant that no matter how Chen Tian resisted, he would have no chance. If Chen Tian's strength reached the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant's level, the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant's strength would increase, always overpowering Chen Tian.
It seemed impossible to win!
Chen Tian stood rooted to the spot, deep in thought. How could he possibly defeat this opponent?
The five minutes passed. Instantly, the cocoon formed by the water exploded. A youth looked at Chen Tian and said, "Bug, destroyer of the game, die!"
The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant merely narrowed its eyes, and Chen Tian felt a sense of danger. His figure became illusory as blade-like energies formed from the space around him pierced through Chen Tian's form.
Chen Tian's Divine Eye provided information.
Emperor-class Boss: Blood Heaven Dragon Ant
Level: Level 99 of the Purple Blaze rank
Abilities: ???
Traits: ???
Health: ???
...
Chen Tian looked at the information and canceled the scan. There was no point. This guy's level was far too high. All the information was question marks, indicating he couldn't see it. Even if Chen Tian used his Divine Eye again, he wouldn't be able to discern it. The gap in levels was too vast.
Furthermore, the higher the level, the greater the limitations of the Divine Eye. Originally, he could observe levels beyond his own, but now, even at the same level, he couldn't see too far beyond it.
"Bugs should be eradicated!"
The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant had been implanted with the directive to eliminate Chen Tian, this bug. In its eyes, Chen Tian was an enemy.
Chen Tian suddenly thought of something. He then asked, "System, can I choose to escape?"
"Ding! Yes, but the Blood Heaven Dragon Ant will pursue relentlessly until the player is killed. Those who obstruct will suffer the same fate!"
Chen Tian smirked. So that's how it is! Then there's a way.
Chen Tian roared, "Big guy, I'm here! Come at me! Catch me!"
His figure transformed into a beam of light, fleeing into the distance. The Blood Heaven Dragon Ant unfurled its dragon wings and pursued Chen Tian. While escaping, Chen Tian opened his map and said, "The distance isn't too far. As long as I'm not caught, I still have a glimmer of hope."
Chen Tian thought of a good plan, a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
His figure flew towards the distance. Players passing by on the plains looked up at the sky. The chase between two streaks of light attracted their attention. Players nearby decided to go and see, certain that something good would appear. In such a situation, even if there was no drama to watch, it would still be entertaining.
Little did they know that this pursuit would lead to their deaths. Hell awaited them!
The battle between two Emperor-class bosses was not something that could be easily involved in. What else could it be but suicide?
