Chen Tian’s figure shuttled through the teleports. Fortunately, there were no cooldown restrictions between teleportation arrays, and Chen Tian soon arrived in Bishui City.
Following this, Chen Tian headed towards the central part of Bishui City. The City Lord’s Mansion was deserted. Chen Tian released his senses and spoke slowly, “Not here. They are on the battlefield.”
Then, wings slowly unfurled behind Chen Tian, nine-colored wings blooming. He leaped into the air and then moved forward.
On top of Bishui City’s walls, Shui Li watched the great army below and the people behind him. The soldiers had been fighting for days and needed rest.
Looking at Shui Li, his aura flickered unstably. He then spoke to the army below, "Damn it, why hasn't the reinforcement arrived yet!"
Shui Li felt despair. Almost everyone in this city, humans and Water Spirit race alike, had perished. Only they remained.
The city was deserted, yet it could not fall to the enemy, or it would be the end of Winter Dominion.
Shui Li prepared to fight with all he had. Looking at the army below, he slowly stood up and said, "Shui Po, take the others and leave. I'll cover the retreat."
Shui Po seemed to understand Shui Li’s intention and refused, "City Lord, we won't leave. I will fight with you to the last moment!"
"We will never be deserters!"
"Never deserters, fight to the last moment!"
"Fight! Fight, fight!"
There were only a dozen or so figures, but their fighting spirit soared to the heavens, echoing throughout the sky.
Tears streamed from Shui Li's eyes, "Thank you for always being by my side."
Just as Shui Li was about to stand up, a voice slowly echoed in the sky. The entire sky turned nine-colored, and a familiar voice said, "Shui Li, leave them to me. You don't need to act."
A figure slowly descended before the city gate. Shui Li looked and was shocked, "Chen Tian!"
Chen Tian waved his hand, and instantly a nine-colored barrier enveloped the entire Bishui City. Chen Tian looked at the army before him and then asked, "Possessed by evil spirit energy?"
The great army before them had the physique of the Fire Spirit race, but their bodies were entwined with black flames, their eyes were black, and their hands had transformed into black claws, moving forward like zombies.
Eerie black flames and energy relentlessly eroded everything in their path, forming black land and sky.
Shui Li spoke, "Chen Tian, be careful. They are immortal. No matter how they are damaged, they will recover. You must be cautious."
Chen Tian nodded, "It's alright, I'll finish this soon!"
Chen Tian's divine eyes unleashed their power. His silver-white eyes instantly revealed the enemy's information to him.
Evil Fire Race. They were no longer part of the Fire Spirit race but a mutated race corrupted by evil spirit energy that corroded their original essence.
Chen Tian's eyes slowly returned to normal. These Fire Spirit race members were no longer considered living beings.
Then, Chen Tian slowly extended his palm, and dual blades appeared. Shen Bing and Shen Huo, two blades fully fused, materialized in his hands. Simultaneously, the nine-colored mechanical sword wings on his back unfurled, then detached into floating cannons that circled Chen Tian.
Chen Tian's feet were imbued with the power of the gentle breeze, and he instantly shot forward. Multiple skills were unleashed, charging directly into the legion. The Evil Fire Race legion emitted unpleasant sounds, like roars, as Chen Tian attacked, their cries piercing.
Chen Tian ignored them, instantly appearing above the legion. He continuously slashed with his dual blades. The blades shot out and struck the ground, creating abysses that swallowed countless Evil Fire race members, only for them to recover again.
Chen Tian observed his own power. The game skills combined with the power of the divine origin were no longer a simple sum of one plus one. Then, Chen Tian spun, forming a massive nine-colored tornado. Wherever the tornado passed, countless Evil Fire race members were shredded by the nine-colored light vortex.
However, this time their bodies did not recover. Some even turned into black energy that drifted towards the sky.
Chen Tian's nine-colored light was the light of the Divine Lord, which, to a certain extent, countered evil spirit energy. This was why Chen Tian could resist the Evil Spirit race thousands of years ago.
Then, Chen Tian stopped spinning, and the nine-colored tornado dissipated. The sword wing floating cannons also fired nine-colored lasers, sweeping the battlefield without any discernible pattern.
Chen Tian then looked at the dense numbers below, his body shuddered, and instantly countless Chen Tian figures emerged from behind him. Then, Chen Tian's legion clashed against the Evil Fire legion.
The countless Chen Tian figures used various methods to attack the Evil Fire race. These creatures only possessed beast-like instincts and were naturally no match for Chen Tian. Furthermore, Chen Tian's clones were masters of all professions, unleashing different skills, all imbued with nine-colored light. Instantly, the entire battlefield was swept clean, and the numbers of the Evil Fire race legion began to dwindle.
At the same time, a furious roar echoed from behind the Evil Fire race. The entire legion transformed into black fiery currents and surged towards the mountains behind them.
Seeing this, Chen Tian stopped. His clones slowly disappeared. Chen Tian stepped forward and instantly arrived on the city wall. He looked at Shui Li and asked, "What is the current situation?"
Shui Li shook his head, "Summer Dominion has changed. A black aura appeared from who knows where and engulfed the entire country. All information in and out is blocked."
"These mutated Fire Spirit race members were originally dead bodies. But influenced by the black aura, they resurrected and became even more powerful."
"Our race is doing its utmost to defend Winter Dominion from invasion. Other areas are fighting desperately. As you know my personality, I'm facing more difficulties here."
After Shui Li spoke, Chen Tian remained silent. Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, Divine Light and Healing spells were cast, and Shui Li's body quickly recovered.
Then Chen Tian asked, "What is the situation in Summer Dominion now? Is there no one there yet?"
"I don't know, but that place has turned into a black city. No one knows what it's like. Chen Tian, are you going there?"
Shui Li looked worried. Chen Tian nodded and said, "Guard your city well. They retreated just now, likely towards Summer Dominion. They won't attack again for a short while. I need to go to Summer Dominion to see."
"Goodbye!"
Then, golden wings slowly unfurled behind Chen Tian, and he flew towards Summer Dominion.
Shui Li watched Chen Tian and clenched his fists, "Chen Tian, I will work hard to catch up to you."
As if a decision had been made, the situation in Bishui City was resolved.
Chen Tian had already flown to the edge of Winter Dominion, and beyond was the edge of Summer Dominion. Chen Tian looked at the region shrouded in black aura, and his body erupted with nine-colored light, charging directly into the blackness.
Meanwhile, in Summer Dominion, the main city was swarming with human players. They stood on the city walls, looking at the dense army below. The entire Summer Dominion was covered by the army, with only this one city remaining.
One player spoke, "Damn it, what kind of game plot is this? Why can't we contact the outside world?"
"The numbers are too overwhelming. Even in a legion war, we only have a few thousand people. How can we fight against an army covering the entire Summer Dominion!"
"I'm curious, is this a quest, or did the game glitch?"
Instantly, quest interfaces popped up before countless players' eyes. While usually, they would be happy, they couldn't be happy now. This city was their last foothold. If it fell, all these players would die.
Countless players looked at the quest panel before them and clicked OK without hesitation.
At the edge, Chen Tian slowly closed his operation interface and said, "This way, no one will suspect this isn't a game. The secrets of the Divine Realm must not be revealed, or it will lead to a war between two worlds."
