Chen Tian had the upper hand in his battle with Huang Fenglong. Chen Tian could use three percent of his power, and that three percent was equivalent to a cultivator in the seventh realm, and not just any seventh realm cultivator, but an elder of that realm. A mere Huang Fenglong, who was only in the sixth realm, and had just entered it at that, was no match for Chen Tian. Chen Tian could deal with him effortlessly. Previously, Chen Tian had only dared to use two percent of his strength, but now he could control it at three percent.
The more Chen Tian's strength was unsealed, the less restricted he felt when using it. After all, the further along one's cultivation journey, the stronger they became. Chen Tian's dual blades made it difficult for Huang Fenglong to defend himself. Huang Fenglong also realized that Chen Tian had not used his full strength from the beginning. Perhaps his previous move had pushed Chen Tian to the brink, forcing him to reveal his true strength. Huang Fenglong found it difficult to cope with Chen Tian's attacks. Chen Tian's dual blades were incredibly fast, a thousand times faster than when they had clashed before.
Huang Fenglong's arms were covered in wounds, marks left by the dual blades. If Huang Fenglong's body hadn't been strong enough, he would have been dismembered by Chen Tian's dual blades long ago. Huang Fenglong defended himself calmly. It was crucial not to panic in such a situation; only by remaining calm could he find a way to break through. Huang Fenglong didn't expect these people to help him. The only ones who could help Huang Fenglong were those few old men who knew his origins, but they wouldn't intervene easily; it would be too much of a loss of face.
As elder cultivators, intervening in a duel between younger generations, or even attacking them, was a disgraceful act once it got out. It was like an adult bullying a child, and claiming it as a victory. It was utterly ridiculous.
Cultivators had their pride, and there were those who understood the principle of respecting the decisions and battles of others. True powerhouses respected their opponent's decisions and their fights, and wouldn't interfere.
True powerhouses knew what true strength was. Huang Fenglong clearly understood his own strengths. Facing thousands of attacks from Chen Tian, Huang Fenglong took a deep breath. The Imperial Qi surged, soaring towards the heavens. A golden pillar of light shot into the sky, painting the heavens golden. Golden lightning continuously struck down. Just as Chen Tian was about to attack, the lightning descended, and Chen Tian immediately dodged without hesitation. Lightning was a heavenly punishment.
Chen Tian dared not to resist the power of heavenly punishment. Chen Tian's energy control had not yet reached a level where he could control the energy of heavenly punishment. Level two energy control allowed him to control the energy of others, while level one energy was the energy of heaven and earth. Chen Tian's decision to dodge the lightning was correct.
Chen Tian dodged and weaved. The entire sky crackled with lightning and thunder as the Imperial Qi surged around Huang Fenglong. The Imperial Qi formed a suit of armor, and a phantom appeared behind Huang Fenglong, overlapping with the armor.
"The bloodline has evolved."
"To break through under pressure from the opponent... this child is indeed worthy of his bloodline."
"How is this possible? Is this child even a match for him?"
"Uncertain, but we must protect him."
A group of old men conversed amongst themselves, their words unheard by any cultivators, and their presence unnoticed, including Chen Tian.
Chen Tian watched Huang Fenglong break through. Breaking through during a battle meant this fight would be difficult. Huang Fenglong hadn't expected to break through to the next stage. His bloodline evolved once, and his entire aura surged.
Huang Fenglong laughed heartily, "Kid, thank you. Under your pressure, my cultivation of thousands of years has finally broken through. From now on, my cultivation speed will be the fastest in the world."
"As a thank you, I will kill you with all my might."
Huang Fenglong felt his power, immense, overwhelmingly powerful. The energy within him and the Imperial Qi made him feel invincible under this aura.
Chen Tian remained silent. Huang Fenglong was too arrogant.
He said faintly, "You can try!"
This was Chen Tian's signature line. Once he uttered this, no one could defeat him.
Trying meant being tested!
In the end, it was always the opponent who died, and Chen Tian who lived.
Chen Tian's entire body was covered in silver-white armor, and his dual blades glowed with silver-white light, increasing their sharpness once more. His aura climbed higher. Huang Fenglong and the onlookers were stunned. Was this guy even human?
His aura was still increasing. Had he not been fighting with his full strength before?
How powerful was this guy? Everyone became wary. Chen Tian's unfathomable strength terrified them. Before they understood Chen Tian's true strength, they wouldn't foolishly attack.
Huang Fenglong showed no fear towards Chen Tian, for his bloodline was destined to be invincible. He could not retreat now. Huang Fenglong's body was covered in golden-yellow armor, and golden lightning danced upon it, crackling and merging with the armor. The phantom behind him transformed into countless streams of air that entered Huang Fenglong's body.
New memories and knowledge appeared in Huang Fenglong's mind; it was an inheritance. After inheriting a portion of the legacy, Huang Fenglong's eyes were filled with confidence. Now, facing Chen Tian, he would not be as helpless as before.
Chen Tian stepped forward, his figure splitting into hundreds of afterimages that filled the sky, surrounding Huang Fenglong. Huang Fenglong's golden eyes snapped open, revealing a golden irises. Chen Tian's afterimages vanished instantly. Chen Tian's true form appeared behind Huang Fenglong. Just as he was about to strike, Huang Fenglong kicked out with his left leg, forcing Chen Tian to change his stance to defend. Huang Fenglong's offensive speed was faster, and Chen Tian had to abandon his attack.
Otherwise, they would both be injured, and there was something strange about the opponent's eyes. Chen Tian felt like he had seen those eyes somewhere before.
Chen Tian held his dual blades horizontally, and his right leg collided with the blades. Chen Tian retreated a few steps. Huang Fenglong stepped forward, the sky roared and then fell silent.
It was as if the sky had been shattered by that kick. Chen Tian and Huang Fenglong collided.
They were evenly matched. Time and space seemed to stop at this moment, and their figures appeared frozen.
A woman's voice faintly spoke, "Oh dear, it's funny. I just arrived in the myriad realms, and I've already met two acquaintances. But I shouldn't meddle too much. My priority is to bring the princess back. Let me see where the passage to that world is."
"Hmm? Interesting. There's no passage to that world."
Her figure disappeared. Time and space began to flow again. Chen Tian and Huang Fenglong collided. After the impact, Chen Tian sensed a familiar aura, as if someone had been there before, but Chen Tian hadn't noticed anything.
Chen Tian's mind seemed to be affected by the aura, and waves of memories flooded in, filling his mind and causing his thoughts to become somewhat chaotic. In the collision with Huang Fenglong, he was sent flying.
Huang Fenglong looked at Chen Tian, who was now easily defeated before him, sent flying by a single blow. He became even more arrogant about his strength.
He swung his fists fiercely. Chen Tian, needing to sort through the memories in his mind, could only passively defend and take hits. There were too many memories, and Chen Tian needed time to process them. Chen Tian was curious about the connection between these memories and that aura.
Seeing Chen Tian not daring to counter-attack, Huang Fenglong intensified his assault, determined not to give Chen Tian an opportunity to retaliate.
