Chen Tian's golden barrier also gradually disappeared. When the Devouring Storm completely dissipated, the barrier slowly vanished. Yang Yumufeng, standing outside the barrier, stared intently at it with a fierce expression. His vision and senses were completely blocked. Damn it, he had wanted to see the full power or trump card of the Devouring Guild's leader!
That plan was now ruined. At the same time, countless rays of light fell from his hands onto the players on the ground. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but it wouldn't change anything. After all, only she would be standing at the end.
As the barrier completely dissipated, Chen Tian's figure slowly appeared in the sky. On the ground, a figure slowly emerged. This person was the Devouring Storm, who then shouted loudly, "All members of the Devouring Guild, withdraw from combat, do not engage."
At these words, countless players were instantly stunned. The Devouring Guild players simultaneously stopped fighting and repeatedly asked, "Why! Guild Leader, now is the time to win!"
"Yeah! More than half of his clones are already dead."
"Yeah! Guild Leader, why! I'm not stopping! You guys, right!"
"Right! Kill them all, kill them all!"
A spear directly pierced through this player's body with a 'poof,' and then the player's body turned into countless streaks of light and dissipated. He was revived in place, and the Devouring Storm said calmly, "Do I need to personally kill you all and reduce your levels to one?"
"Am I the Guild Leader, or are you? Do you want to rebel? Those who disobey orders will be kicked out of the guild immediately upon leaving the abyss."
"Everyone withdraw from combat now!"
The Devouring Storm was a man of integrity and would never lie. Keeping his word was his style. Seeing the Devouring Guild's leader acting like this, Yang Yumufeng's expression became solemn. "Devouring, what are you doing? Are you betraying us?"
"Betrayal? I lost the bet, so I'm honoring the wager. Everyone stop fighting and withdraw from the area. Those who disobey will be kicked out of the guild."
"Yes, Guild Leader!"
Many who followed the Devouring Storm directly chose to withdraw from combat, but some players, unwilling to give up, directly defied him. The Devouring Storm noted down the names of these players.
There was no need for such disobedient players. After all, the guild's development didn't require too many players; it only needed resources. As long as he was still in the guild, resources would not be lacking, and neither would players.
At the same time, the Devouring Storm's interface popped up. He was stunned and touched his forehead. Why did something like this have to happen at this moment?
Then, the Devouring Storm looked at Chen Tian, and an idea formed in his mind.
The Devouring Storm nodded slightly. He could find him for help. If the two of them joined forces, that matter could be resolved quite easily.
In the battlefield, as the Devouring Guild's players decreased, Chen Tian's clones instantly gained the upper hand. Yang Yumufeng's eyes flashed with cold light upon seeing this, but he quickly suppressed it. However, he didn't escape Chen Tian's gaze. Chen Tian stepped forward and charged directly at the Guild Leader of the Yang Yumufeng Guild.
Seeing Chen Tian charging at him, Yang Yumufeng immediately prepared for battle. A flute appeared in his hand, and he brought it to his lips, blowing into it. Countless sound waves continuously shot out towards Chen Tian's figure. Chen Tian crossed his arms, and an icy blue barrier appeared. The sound waves hit the barrier, slowing Chen Tian's advance but having no effect.
Seeing this, Yang Yumufeng accelerated his playing. Frenzied sound waves echoed throughout the sky, and Chen Tian's figure seemed to be drowned out by them. Then, Yang Yumufeng stopped playing, confident that her opponent would perish under this move, for no other reason than the significant level difference between them.
The Devouring Storm, standing below, shook his head. "Underestimating him too much. That's why I was defeated."
Amidst the chaotic sound waves, a youth clad in Divine Fire Armor spread his Divine Fire wings from his back and punched out twice towards Yang Yumufeng. Seeing this, Yang Yumufeng directly extended his flute. Fists and flute collided, and a wave of energy erupted, engulfing both their figures.
In another part of the battlefield, the battle between Sheng Longlin and Shenshang Chen Tian was fierce and evenly matched. The sword in Chen Tian's hand was wielded with graceful movements, each strike carrying terrifying power. Sheng Longlin's hands trembled.
At the same time, Sheng Longlin looked at Chen Tian before him. This was no ordinary clone; he was certain of it, as the opponent's strength was only slightly superior to his own, but only slightly.
Sheng Longlin unleashed an even more powerful aura and then punched out consecutively. Golden light wrapped around his fists as he charged towards Chen Tian.
Chen Tian flicked his sword, deflecting Sheng Longlin's fists and then spinning him, drawing him into a rotation. Seeing this, Sheng Longlin kicked out with his left leg in a spinning motion. Unexpectedly, Chen Tian took a step back, and his left leg's attack missed.
As a top cultivator in the immortal cultivation world, one who could slay gods with mortal means, his combat awareness was naturally not lacking. If Chen Tian's main body did not refrain from cultivating his realm, his strength would not be so weak. Shenshang Chen Tian's strength was eighty percent of Chen Tian's immortal cultivation realm strength, meaning only eighty percent of Chen Tian's strength. This strength referred to the power and might of the immortal cultivation world.
Chen Tian's realm was the Void God Realm, but his strength was more than enough to slay cultivators in the ninth level of the Void God Realm. Shenshang's origin only had eighty percent of his strength, meaning he could only slay ordinary Void God Realm martial artists.
In the game, players at the Blue Ling level were comparable to Void God Realm martial artists. Chen Tian's strength was only a tiny bit more than theirs.
Seeing his attack miss, Sheng Longlin changed his move, but how could Chen Tian allow him to do so?
He decisively unleashed a four-hit combo. Sheng Longlin crossed his arms, and armguards appeared on them. The sword strikes were completely blocked, but Sheng Longlin's figure retreated.
Sheng Longlin looked at Chen Tian before him and said, "It seems I won't gain the upper hand without using equipment."
Then, armor appeared all over Sheng Longlin's body, and two hammers appeared in his hands. His entire aura erupted.
The armor was gray all over. Two circular plates were attached to the shoulder guards. On the greaves, countless gray patterns formed a clear imprint. On the chest plate, a gray flower bloomed, with a gray thorn emerging from its center. On the armguards, gray patterns and gray thorns grew. On the backplate, a giant round shield appeared, pressed tightly against his back.
On the helmet, a large quadrilateral crystal was in the center. On both sides of the helmet, fragments shaped like aircraft wings spread out, protecting his eyes, and instantly emitted a blue light.
In Sheng Longlin's hands were a pair of gray hammers. A gray luster flowed from the hammers, and curved thorns grew on them, making the hammers look extremely domineering. Chen Tian tightened his grip on his long sword, knowing that his opponent was getting serious.
Shenshang Chen Tian was the Chen Tian from the origin of the immortal cultivation world, so this Chen Tian could not use in-game functions, weapons, or equipment. All he had was the long sword in his hand. With the sword in hand, he could slay all gods under heaven.
Chen Tian and Sheng Longlin looked at each other. Sheng Longlin was curious why Chen Tian was not wearing armor, but the fact that the opponent wasn't wearing equipment made his fight easier.
Then, Sheng Longlin charged towards Chen Tian, swinging his twin hammers down. Chen Tian directly swept his long sword horizontally, and the two collided with a burst of sparks. Chen Tian exerted force, and his long sword instantly sent the opponent's twin hammers flying. Sheng Longlin stumbled back a few steps. While retreating, Sheng Longlin threw his hammers, which spun towards the charging Chen Tian.
Chen Tian supported his sword with both hands and placed it in front of him. The hammers struck the long sword, and Chen Tian's figure was continuously pushed back. Then, Sheng Longlin's figure appeared directly behind Chen Tian and swung out with both fists, enveloped in golden light. Seeing this, Chen Tian flickered, and his figure instantly vanished.
Spell: Illusion Technique.
As Chen Tian from the immortal realm's origin, he naturally used spells from the immortal cultivation world. Sheng Longlin's fists missed. Looking at Chen Tian, who was condensing his form in the distance, he was shocked, as such a creation skill was very rare a few years ago. He couldn't believe the opponent used it so quickly.
This type of creation skill was usually reserved for life-saving purposes, but Chen Tian used it. He could interpret this as Chen Tian having no trump cards left.
He still had trump cards, but Sheng Longlin didn't know that Chen Tian was using a spell, not a creation skill. In Chen Tian's mind, spells were like galaxies, with each galaxy containing countless planets, and those planets were spells. Each planet was a spell, and Chen Tian didn't care about using spells.
Moreover, cultivators inherently fought with spells, unlike martial artists in other worlds. Chen Tian also touched his long sword with his left hand and covered it with red light, making the entire long sword look as if it had been bathed in blood.
Then, Chen Tian slowly raised his arm and swung his sword. Instantly, a red sword beam shot out, and Chen Tian's figure disappeared from his original position. The red sword beam attacked Sheng Longlin. Sheng Longlin smashed out with his twin hammers, and with a 'bang,' the sword beam exploded. At the same time, Chen Tian's figure silently appeared behind Sheng Longlin, and his long sword darted out. Sheng Longlin noticed Chen Tian's sneak attack. The round shield on his back emitted a silver light, and a barrier instantly appeared on his back. Chen Tian's long sword struck the barrier with no effect.
Chen Tian flickered and instantly disappeared from Sheng Longlin's back. Sheng Longlin looked to his right, and the crystal on his helmet emitted light, shooting a beam out. Chen Tian thrust out his long sword, colliding with the beam, slicing it in half. The long sword continued forward.
Sheng Longlin knew Chen Tian's intention, so he detached the round shield from his back and placed it in front of him. Chen Tian, seeing the round shield before him, decisively retreated, abandoning his attack.
He couldn't break through the opponent's round shield. If his strength increased by another thirty percent or his realm advanced by a few more levels, he might be able to break through the opponent's defense.
Of course, if Chen Tian continued to use spells, he could break through the defense, but that would be too consuming, and Chen Tian didn't want to do that. After all, he had to save his origin to help with the fusion.
Sheng Longlin saw that Chen Tian couldn't break his shield, so he directly attacked, taking the initiative. He swung his twin hammers, attacking from both sides. Chen Tian parried with his long sword, then knocked the hammers away and retreated, but Sheng Longlin relentlessly pursued, continuously attacking. Now Sheng Longlin had the initiative, and Chen Tian could only defend passively.
At the same time, Chen Tian's eyes were fixed on Sheng Longlin's hammers. After a period of defense, Chen Tian decisively swept his long sword horizontally, striking the center of the hammers. Waves of energy erupted, directly blowing Sheng Longlin away.
Sheng Longlin looked at Chen Tian, who had actually found the weakness of his hammers. He couldn't believe it. With his fierce attacks, ordinary players would struggle to cope. But Chen Tian? This guy in front of him had found the weakness of his weapon and collided with it, which was why Sheng Longlin was repelled.
The force generated by the collision of both weapons was the same, but Chen Tian hit the weak point of the weapon, and the force directly passed through the weapon and into Sheng Longlin's body, which was why Sheng Longlin was pushed back.
Sheng Longlin looked at the hammers in his hands. A deep scratch appeared on both hammers. It was a sword mark, but the mark gradually disappeared, and the hammers seemed to have a self-repairing ability, reappearing intact before Chen Tian.
Chen Tian said, "Self-repairing ability, huh? Then I'll smash your weapons into pieces with one strike. Let's see if they can still be repaired."
Hearing Chen Tian's words, Sheng Longlin said, "You can try. Anyway, this is just a weapon. If it breaks, I'll replace it. I don't care, as long as it's handy. Weapons are like that; use them if they're handy, throw them away if you dislike them, and destroy them if they're not."
Chen Tian's expression turned cold, as if Sheng Longlin's words had provoked him. Chen Tian roared, "No, you're wrong. No matter what kind of weapon it is, as long as you put your heart into it, even the weakest weapon can become the strongest."
"If you don't even understand this, you're no match for me."
"Is that so? Then let's see who wins!"
He swung his twin hammers, smashing them towards Chen Tian. Chen Tian also swung his long sword, and instantly a sword light flashed, brilliant as a star, fleeting and ephemeral.
Spell: Sword Light Slash.
Then Chen Tian sheathed his sword. Behind Chen Tian, Sheng Longlin's twin hammers instantly turned into fragments.
Sheng Longlin decisively threw them elsewhere and then clenched his hands. A red warhammer appeared in his hands, and his aura became even stronger. Sheng Longlin said, "You just shattered one of my secondary weapons. This is my main weapon. However, you've forced me to use my main weapon, which is quite something."
Although Sheng Longlin claimed not to care, his heart ached. The quality and abilities of those twin hammers were very attractive. It was a pity that they were now shattered.
