Chapter 1644 - Super Specter

It was clear that even on skypiercer-cla.s.s worlds, geniuses with nine totems were rare, if they even existed at all. At the very least, they seemed superior to those with sovereign beasts, as sovereign beasts could be obtained through manna imperius while the number of totems was determined at birth.

Tianming knew that geniuses from higher-cla.s.s worlds not only enjoyed more talent, but also better guidance and resources. In terms of pure talent, they probably weren"t too far off from geniuses from heliacal-cla.s.s worlds. At the very least, nonabanes still seemed to be objects of myth on skypiercer-cla.s.s worlds.

Ye Chen"s sovereign beasts had caused more commotion than Tianming and Kou Mingyou"s own sovereign beasts, initially. However, the appearance of his totems had caused another outbreak of shock. Countless people across the astralscape tuned in to this particular battle thanks to Tianming and Ye Chen, spreading the Violetglory Star"s name like wildfire.

Based on Qiao Xingzhou and Zhong Yirou"s reactions, it was clear to see what kind of reaction the others across the astralscape would have. His totems had given his domineering aura another huge boost, causing many to forget that he was also a beastmaster that had relied on his beasts to defeat Kou Mingyou. They even seemingly ignored Ying Huo. While Ye Chen had antic.i.p.ated all the commotion, even he didn"t expect that Tianming would "shamelessly" rely on Bai Feng"s help. And not only that, he even had her fight as the vanguard.

"Ram into him, Sister Feng!" Tianming cried with the intonation of a man who would hide behind a woman.

Fortunately, Bai Feng had been annoyed by Ye Chen long enough. Fully convinced of Tianming"s abilities, she listened to his every word and roared, charging into the Chaos Deity like a wild beast. With Tianming watching her back, there was nothing she had to worry about and she could go all out.

"Die for me, you ugly thing!" She swung her warblade with the ferocity of Lan Huang. Her abilities as a chalk draconian were also rather impressive. When she opened her mouth, soundwaves seemed to solidify and slam into the Chaos Deity, shaking its body and wounding the man-eating flower"s head.

However, she wasn"t fighting alone. Ying Huo protected Meow Meow as it used its most powerful lightning ability as suppressive fire. Ever since Lan Huang"s birth, Meow Meow"s lazy character had pushed it in the direction of focusing on lightning abilities rather than fighting in close quarters. With its rapid movement speed, it was the most annoying of Tianming"s beasts to deal with. It started with its Soulchasing h.e.l.lthunder and went on to use Misty h.e.l.lthunder, Ninefold Chaos Thunderscape, Regalfiend Wings, Cosmic Lance, and its newly awakened Triworld Afterlife Bolts! There was no way they could miss, given the sheer size of the Chaos Deity. The power of the Aeonic Grandbane supercharged Meow Meow"s abilities, allowing it to unleash power befitting of a Primordial Chaos Beast.

However, the Chaos Dijiang was actually a fusion of six beings, so it was naturally superior to each of its individual parts. They concentrated their astralforce into a s.h.i.+eld that easily blocked Meow Meow"s abilities. Not even Bai Feng"s blade could really harm Ye Chen in his fully powered form.

However, Tianming"s real-world abilities had allowed him to thoroughly defeat Ye Chen at the Observatorium. Bai Feng and Meow Meow"s a.s.sault was just window dressing; the filling still had to come from him. He didn"t hold back at all, using his totemic calamity and turning his nine swords into nine thousand Myriadsword Providence swords, whoos.h.i.+ng around wildly according to his will. This time around, he used his totems, fusion strikes, and his sword body all together! Having absorbed the Frozen Gla.s.stree in its entirety, the power of his Ninedragon Tribulation had been raised to an entirely new level. He soared into the skies, taking a sea of swords with him, before descending toward the Chaos Deity.

Ye Chen wielded his enlarged Grand G.o.dless Liberty to swat Bai Feng away and tank Meow Meow"s bombardment. All five of his lifebound beasts that had fused with him also unleashed their abilities, spewing lightning, black flames, and toxins all over the place and destroying much of the battlefield"s environment.

"Hmph!" No matter what, Ye Chen had to crush Tianming at all costs and restore his dignity in the Divineglory Dynasty. The Chaos Deity roared, shaking the entire battlefield with its power. If Tianming defeated Ye Chen again, it would be the same as Ye Chen having needlessly helped Tianming boost his interworld reputation! After all, Kou Mingyou alone wasn"t enough for him to use his full power. The gigantic fused body of the Chaos Deity was quite active and agile, able to swiftly charge and dexterously swing around its huge weapon while targeting Tianming.

"Die!" Their combined astralforce, coupled with their battle art, Unfettered Wandering, raised their damage potential to new heights. Tianming had only just manifested his totemic calamity when the Grand G.o.dless Liberty pierced through the green fog toward the sea of ten thousand swords.

But alas, Ye Chen had looked down on Bai Feng to his peril! He only had Tianming in his eyes, so Bai Feng charged toward his flank, using her specter abilities to pave a way. She slashed the defenses of the Chaos Deity open with her blade, cutting into the qilin thighs of the fused ent.i.ty and knocking the entire thing down with her momentum. Ye Chen grimaced, then threw a punch that sent Bai Feng flying. Fortunately, Xian Xian broke her fall with her vines, sparing her from even more damage.

"Pathetic! You think you can defeat me with the likes of this?!" she snapped, much to Tianming"s surprise. He didn"t think a girl could be so fierce.

It was Tianming"s chance! Concentrating the Grand-Orient Sword and his ten thousand sword totems together, he slashed down using Sixdragon Tribulation with its full damage potential. Once that strike made an opening, the sea of swords that followed would be a nightmare for Ye Chen.

I wonder if those in the Mysterium Cl.u.s.ter will recognize my Grand-Orient Sword.... Are their designs identical, too? It was all a guess, as he had practically no information about the other sword that had the same name as his.
