Appearance

"Heh! Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives!"

Chen Tian was somewhat displeased. He had finally dealt with the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, only for this "Master" thing to suddenly pop out.

"You two don't need to go out. Stay inside the villa and protect her," Chen Tian instructed.

Yakelis and Helles nodded in succession, reminding him, "Master, you must be careful. Master is extremely powerful!"

"Don't worry."

Chen Tian sneered. Just how powerful could he be?

Besides, if that man was very powerful, then Chen Tian himself was ten thousand times more powerful! He then walked outside, leaped onto the roof, and raised his head to stare upward.

At this moment, the Origin Will of Ten Thousand Stars appeared as well.

It even took the initiative to speak with him.

Its intentions were simple. It was afraid, nothing more! "You asked me to help you before, and now you're asking me again. You're making it seem like I owe you, yet I haven't seen a single benefit," Chen Tian muttered to it.

The Ten Thousand Stars Origin Will transmitted its words into his mind. "Protecting Ten Thousand Stars is good for you too, isn't it?"

Chen Tian could not be bothered to argue with it. He needed to focus on the formidable enemy before him first.

The originally pitch-black clouds in the sky suddenly revealed a patch of Blood Cloud! It circled overhead like a fish. Then, a hole tore open at the center of the Blood Cloud, and several streams of Blood Cloud abruptly descended from within.

Chen Tian frowned slightly, watching the changes in the Blood Cloud vigilantly.

The falling streams of Blood Cloud then transformed into a human figure before him! Suddenly, the figure opened its eyes!

Their gazes met. Chen Tian was stunned. This appearance—this person formed from Blood Cloud—wasn't he the man Chen Tian had seen during the time reversal in Blue Village? With a single wave of his hand, he had wiped out the entire village, leaving not one survivor! Those eyes were exactly the same! "It's you!" Chen Tian said in a low voice.

The man seemed momentarily taken aback, but it quickly vanished.

"You know me?" the man asked.

Chen Tian's eyes narrowed as he said coldly, "You were the one who destroyed Blue Village, weren't you? You were ruthless enough to spare no one—not the men, women, elderly, or children!"

"Oh, so you're a fish that slipped through the net." The man spoke softly. "I gave them a choice. They simply abandoned it."

"You call that a choice?!" Chen Tian shouted.

The man chuckled and shook his head, seemingly admitting it.

Then he said, "I imagine you have already learned quite a bit from their mouths about why I came here."

Chen Tian's heart jolted. This man really knew that he had controlled the First and Second Demon Gods.

"You destroyed seventy Demon Gods and controlled two of them." The man's magnetic voice rang out. "You are not a human of this universe either."

Clang! Chen Tian immediately drew the Yin Yang Battle Halberd. He sensed the man's Killing Intent in that instant! It was more than ten thousand times stronger than Yakelis's! As expected of someone capable of commanding the Seventy-Two Demon Gods. His strength had likely long since reached an entirely different level.

"I will give you a choice. Hand her over and release your control. I can take you under my command," the man said like an emperor.

"If you refuse, I will destroy you along with this planet."

The man did not speak quickly, yet every word was crystal clear. Endless murderous intent hid beneath his seemingly gentle words! Chen Tian was not fooled in the slightest.

This was not the first time someone had made empty threats to him. By now, he had seen it often enough that it no longer surprised him.

"Hey, although we don't know each other, it seems we have quite a few debts to settle," Chen Tian said with the corners of his mouth lifting.

"Why must it be this way?" the man chuckled.

With a lift of his hand, several rays of wheat-colored light shot forth! The attack was swift, but Chen Tian had anticipated it long ago. The yin-yang diagram on his battle halberd spun, and a vast, majestic force erupted! Clang! Clang! Chen Tian took the initiative, vanishing from where he stood in the blink of an eye!

The man's eyes shifted. With a casual flick of his left hand, a magic array instantly appeared above his head, just as Chen Tian descended from the sky with his battle halberd! Boom—Bang!!!

The battle halberd smashed into the magic array, setting off wave after wave of intense shockwaves.

The three people inside the villa watched the battle in the sky in terror. Though they were controlled by Chen Tian, they had not forgotten Master's might!

Even after witnessing their new Master's power, they could not erase the traces their former Master had carved into their hearts.

"Yakelis, who do you think will win—Master or Master?" Helles asked nervously.

Chen Tian had controlled him and left a mark within his body. If Chen Tian lost, then Helles would die with him! Yakelis could not answer his question either.

After all, they were birds of a feather. If Chen Tian died, none of them would live!

"Our Master is him, not Master. We can only pray that Master will not lose," Yakelis said anxiously.

Qing Wan, standing nearby, spoke up. "Don't worry. Chen Tian is very strong!"

As she spoke, she did not forget to raise her tiny fist for the two of them to see, as if afraid they would not believe her.

Meanwhile, Chen Tian and the man exchanged blows repeatedly, probing one another time and again.

Yet Chen Tian ultimately failed to find even the slightest flaw.

"What's your name? You're pretty impressive!" Chen Tian asked.

This was the most troublesome opponent he had encountered for the first time. They had fought for so long, yet he had not gained the slightest advantage.

And judging by the man's expression, sparring with Chen Tian seemed like child's play to him—effortless and easy.

"You are not qualified to know my name." The man smiled faintly as he spoke.

Chen Tian was somewhat helpless.

Not only was this man exceptionally good at putting on airs, but his strength was absurdly powerful! "If you don't reveal your true strength, I'll chop you to death in a moment!" Chen Tian threatened.

Since this man was acting so nonchalantly and assured, Chen Tian would beat him until he had no choice but to get serious! At this moment, Chen Tian became serious! Energy hummed within the battle halberd, while power surged endlessly from his body. In an instant, his aura actually suppressed the man's!

"Master's power is so strong!" Helles exclaimed.

"That's right! This is the first time I've seen Master's power reach such a level. Invisibly, he seems to have reached the same level as Master!" Yakelis said, shocked and delighted.

Qing Wan crouched beside the sofa, her eyes fixed on the battle outside the window. Her small hands clenched the sofa cover tighter and tighter, nearly turning red-purple.

At this moment, the battle in the sky entered its most intense stage.

Chen Tian finished gathering his strength, and his entire person underwent a complete transformation. This was the first time he had fought with his full power!

Because he felt that the man before him was an opponent worthy of his full strength! "Let's see how long you can keep enduring!" Blue patterns covered Chen Tian's entire body, and the light radiating from him grew increasingly brilliant.

Gales swept from behind him in waves. The battle halberd trembled—it was calling for Chen Tian to fight!

Boom! Chen Tian exploded forward in midair!

The man's eyes widened in surprise. He swiftly stretched out his right hand, and a Blood Cloud transformed into a longsword in his palm. He raised it before himself and collided with the battle halberd! Clang! Bang! The two weapons clashed, sparks flying everywhere!

At such close range, the man finally saw Chen Tian's face clearly.

Then, when he looked at his weapon, his heart abruptly skipped a beat.

The man asked, "This weapon—is it yours?"

Chen Tian was puzzled. Seeing the flash of astonishment on the man's face, could it be that he knew this weapon's origins? Chen Tian only knew that the system had given it to him, with no further explanation.

"What? You don't believe me?" Chen Tian retorted. "This battle halberd is mine. What are you going to do about it?"

The man's brows gradually knitted together. "The Yin Yang Battle Halberd. I never expected it to end up in your hands."

Bang! After another exchange, the two men retreated from one another.

Then, the man raised his sword and said, "You should not be holding that weapon. Today, no matter what, I will not let you live!"
