Chapter 895 The Evil Spirit Emperor Possessed

The old man and Xie Ou’s figures intertwined in battle. Even though the old man had the upper hand, she was not easily defeated. Even if beings from other universes intervened, they remained unfazed. Xie Ou spread her demonic wings, her form erupting. Two beams of light shot from the sky towards the apex of the world. This was the Ninth Heaven, where each layer was more stable than the last. Fighting here would not result in world destruction.

The world space they occupied was too weak. If they unleashed their full power, the world would collapse. Thus, fighting here was quite suitable. The old man’s foot moved, and in the next second, he appeared before Xie Ou, his palm pushing forward. His soft-looking hand, covered in cocoons, attacked with an indiscernible power. Not daring to underestimate this strike, the woman’s intuition was sharp. She chose to evade this palm strike instead of confronting it directly.

Her figure dodged left and right with wide movements, leaving ample space. The palm attack was evaded. The old man appeared calm, as if he had anticipated this situation. The old man raised his palm and struck again. Powerful energy and fluctuations emanated. Xie Ou’s wings merged behind her, enveloping her. A figure retreated several steps; it was her.

This palm strike’s power was just shy of breaking her defense. This old man was extraordinary, both in strength and aura. She felt something peculiar about him. The old man uttered, "Not bad, you could withstand my move. You are worthy of being remembered by me. Remember the one who will kill you: Zhan Tian."

Zhan Tian’s arrogant voice announced his name. Being able to withstand that move proved that Xie Ou was indeed worthy of being remembered by the old man. In their universe, few could withstand his palm strike. Xie Ou’s potential was far greater than the beings from their universe. It was a pity that he had accepted a commission and had to complete it; otherwise, he would have truly wanted to take her as a disciple.

"Since you are on a commission, could you tell me who commissioned you?"

She asked, her only doubt being whether Chen Tian had issued the commission. Zhan Tian shook his head. "We cannot disclose information about the commission."

"Then it is only battle."

The auras of the two figures erupted, clashing against each other. The resulting shockwaves swept outwards, pushing both back three steps. From being in the advantageous position, they were now evenly matched. Zhan Tian put away his condescension. As expected of an SSS-level commission, this target was proving difficult. A moment's carelessness could lead to his demise here. This thought was incredibly strong.

On Sheng Qing’s side, the one-on-one battles were completely dominated. Furthermore, with the additional helpers who were no weaker than the young man, the favorable situation had turned unfavorable. The clone individuals and the main body were unable to freeze their opponents in one-on-one combat, and they were being crushed.

"Damn it."

Xie Shang knew this couldn't continue. He hurriedly recalled all his clones. As seven or eight figures stood in a line, the young man and the others also arrived beside Sheng Qing. He expressed his gratitude to these sudden helpers: "Thank you very much."

"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank the ones above. We are here to complete a commission."

One of the old men, with a kind demeanor, was among these people. A woman watched Sheng Qing with great interest, as if she had discovered something. The woman’s clear voice rang out, "You carry the aura of the Heavenly Furnace. How did you achieve the fusion of two origins with your individual form?"

The woman’s question pertained to Chen Tian's secret, which he could not reveal to this woman. Seeing his silence, the woman did not press further and transmitted telepathically, "After this battle concludes, I hope you will accompany me for a while. Rest assured, it won't take much time."

"May I know what matter Senior needs my help with?"

"You will know when the time comes. Let's fight first."

Only the two of them could hear the telepathic transmission. The others did not have the habit of eavesdropping. Xie Shang looked at the group before him and then spoke, "This world has nothing to do with you. Interfering is a grave offense. Are you not afraid of punishment?"

"Stop with the rhetoric. If we were truly afraid, would we be here? Don't you think this is all tacitly permitted?"

A young man with a distinct aura spoke. His words stunned Xie Shang. Yes, this was tacitly permitted. The cosmic consciousness did not show any rejection, allowing them to fight in this world.

"You forced my hand."

The demonic bloodline and demonic energy flowed through his body. A phantom appeared behind him. This phantom blade depicted a man wearing a crown, seated on a throne. The slightest leakage of his energy made everyone feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Their terrifying aura forced everyone to resist. The energy fluctuations repelled them all.

In the cosmic space, Chen Tian opened his eyes, sensing an all too familiar aura. As his figure was about to move, a little girl warned him, "You cannot act now. You have not yet fully integrated your reincarnation memories."

"I know I am the only one who can contend with that guy. I must go."

Ignoring the cosmic consciousness's warning, Chen Tian disappeared into space. The little girl sighed, "Another variable has appeared. These variables all revolve around you. It seems you are destined to..."

The phantom behind him gradually consumed Xie Shang. His form was soon covered by the phantom, and a completely new Xie Shang appeared before everyone, though his temperament and tone had changed.

"Trash. To think I had to act personally. But it's fine. This world can become my nourishment, making me stronger."

"It is you who are blocking my path. You shall all die here."

He raised his palm and gently clenched it. A shocking event occurred. They found themselves completely unable to move; the space was locked down. Above their heads, a massive demonic claw descended from the sky. Its power was immeasurable. Once it struck, annihilation was certain.

Just as the demonic claw was about to descend, a white light appeared. A blade flashed, and a brilliant sword light cleaved the demonic claw in two. As it dissipated, Chen Tian turned to face his opponent.

"Chen Tian, it is you. It seems our confrontation has been moved up."

"Evil Spirit Emperor, possessing Xie Shang's body. It appears you have not fully emerged from your seal. In that case, let me see your current strength."

The person before them was Xie Shang, but the one controlling the body was not Xie Shang himself, but the Evil Spirit Emperor. The Evil Spirit Emperor, as the king of war in the Divine Realm thousands of years ago, commanded the Evil Spirit clan. All these Evil Spirits obeyed the Evil Spirit Emperor's orders. Previously, Chen Tian and the Evil Spirit Emperor had fought, with their battle being roughly equal. This stalemate could not continue, so Chen Tian considered the path of a contract.

He forcibly sealed himself, merging worlds to protect world peace. However, who knew that before the sealing time was up, the seal would fail. It was all because of that human traitor.

His whereabouts were still unknown, and it was estimated that he had already left this world.

"Chen Tian, be careful. This guy is not as strong as he used to be."

Sheng Qing spoke. Chen Tian nodded. No one understood the opponent better than he did, having fought for thousands of years. Their understanding was profound. It was a pity that in this life, the Evil Spirit Emperor did not understand him.

After reincarnation, everything had changed. If one judged based on their previous level of understanding, the Evil Spirit Emperor would undoubtedly fail. Chen Tian was no longer the same as he was thousands of years ago.

The two figures erupted, though not in collision. They did not fight. The void swallowed them both. Their gazes alone created such a powerful effect. Just how formidable were these two?
