Chapter 2511 - Defending Gladeus
All ten sword totems combined and triggered a self-destructive explosion that seemed to rock the cosmos itself!
"What?!" Fu Yan was still in the middle of mustering her final blow, but the explosion immediately disrupted her rhythm. It was too fast! In an instant, the sea of mud was completely drowned in sword ki. With Fu Yan right in front of Tianming, she got caught in the brunt of the explosion, being vaporized completely.
"How could this be?!" While the death wasn't real, she was all too unwilling to be defeated in such a manner. As she was forcefully sent back to the real world, the last thought in her mind was, don't let me run into you again!
Her elimination caused the rearearth mother goddesses to demanifest, causing the sand and mud in the air to fall all at once, triggering a small earthquake. Tianming alone remained floating in the air.
"Dang, tertiary simulacrum are powerful!" He was still reeling from surprise. In that sense, he still respected Fu Yan for her might. "Looks like I'll be famous for good this time around. I wonder if people actually believe I'm as old as I say I am." He was quite curious how the countless people from unimaginable distances away perceived someone like him.
After taking the sandstorm heart, he returned to Natal Hall.
"Master, you were so cool! You make my heart throb nonstop... and some parts of my body too..."
Tianming gave her a look of contempt. Right as the wondersky fairy came towards him, he sent her flying with a kick. "Begone, heavenly celestial patterns."
Clearing ten of these cities at once and arriving at the core region of the Skydome Mundus was more than enough for him. He even managed to encounter a genius sacred shaman, expanding his understanding of the power of simulacrum. As he was about to go back, he decided that he would have the Archaionfiend help remove the ten new stigmas from his caelum as well.
Right then, the wondersky fairy crawled its way back, tearing nonstop from being kicked away. "Master, even though you're about to leave, I still have to congratulate you."
"For what?" Tianming asked.
"You have defeated a core member of Skyhold Bridge, so you’ve received the right to join them. It will be reflected in your records."
Tianming looked at them and saw that he received a new title as a member of Skyhold Bridge. "What is this thing? A kind of group?"
"It's not that simple! It is the most mysterious place in the Skydome Battlefield. Legend says that core secrets of the divine wondersky race are stored within! Everyone in the astralscape jumps at the chance to go there!" She beamed excitedly.
"Explain it properly," Tianming said, squeezing her face and causing her to squeal in pain.
"Alright! Master, I don't like it when you're this rough on me!" Seeing Tianming's impatient look, it answered earnestly. "Skyhold Bridge refers to the bridge that links to and holds up the sky. It is a special arena in the Skydome Battlefield that only allows high-quality human cultivators to enter. Members of the Skydome Mundus's Skyhold Bridge are held in exceedingly high regard!"
"Just get straight to the point about what benefits that affords," Tianming said.
The wondersky fairy put her hands on her hips and puckered her lips. "First, crossing Skyhold Bridge will take you to Voidback City. You will no longer have to keep on taking the challenges. Many geniuses who are not at the right age can go to Voidback City because of Skyhold Bridge."
Tianming didn't really care at first, but hearing this made his eyes brighten. According to his estimations, he would have to become a cosmic cartographer before he would be able to reach Voidback City. This shortcut for talented younglings would be perfect, and he would be able to obtain the imperial-class divine wonder much sooner. There was also a chance that he wouldn't be marked with stigmas by skipping the remaining cities. "Huh? It's that good? What else?"
"Secondly, there are foundation caeli at Skyhold Bridge as well as countless high-level astral god battle arts that you can obtain! Becoming a member is akin to becoming a core figure within the Skydome Mundus."
"That sounds decent." Tianming couldn't wait to check the place out. "Alright, I'll go there now. Are you coming with?"
"Of course. I'm your love slave. I'll be by your side for the rest of my life," the wondersky fairy said.
"Alright, enough nonsense. Get it done quickly." Tianming rolled his eyes. Anyone could enter the Skydome Battlefield regardless of talent. Many of Tianming's opponents had been seniors who were thousands of years old but only at his level, so the fights were rather pointless. Tianming wondered why there were so few geniuses there; it turned out that they had gone to Skyhold Bridge instead.
"Yes, Master. I shall do your bidding," the wondersky fairy said, full of submission in its voice.
"Ahem..." The little rascal never relented and knew how to flaunt her seductive wiles. Tianming didn't even want to look at her directly.
"Master, let's embark on a brand new journey together! You will definitely shock the world!"
Tianming suddenly stopped when the wondersky fairy was ready. "I will have to put that off. There's something I have to do. I'll be back."
Then, he returned to the real world. Feiling had shouted him awake. "Did the ebon reinforcements finally arrive?"
"Yeah. Yin Chen said that the second rex mundi has started attacking using an infinitum-class divine astralship," Feiling said. Finally, the most crucial battle Gladeus would face had begun. This was the battle that would decide Tianming's destiny.
"Your master... has already... gone into... battle with... his troops," Yin Chen said.
"Got it." Tianming rose.
"Big Brother, do we wait here?" Feiling asked. Lin Xiaodao would also hope that they remained somewhere safe.
Tianming gave it some thought. "No, we'll take a look and help with whatever we can."
"Your Master said that the Gladean ebons might take this chance to launch a counterattack. If we can't help out outside Gladeus, why don't we look inward?"
"You're right!" Tianming also had the same idea. He prepared himself quickly and headed toward the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. As the ship left Skyhold Palace, Tianming saw the approaching ebon expeditionary force in the distant skies above, forming a dark shadow over Gladeus. He took a deep breath. "Ji Ji, it'll be up to you now."
Yin Chen had been far more crucial before, but this was the time for the First Ancestral Aeonic Star to shine.
