Chapter 1592 - World of Sorrow

If an individual lost in battle, the worst that could happen was death. But if a nova source world was defeated, either their world was destroyed or they and their descendants would be bred as livestock. The cruelty that was inherent in the universe chilled Tianming to the bone. Not only did it make him feel small, he also started to feel actual bloodl.u.s.t against Xue Tu. Perhaps that was also due to him being human, rather than specter. The clear derision in the eyes of the two shoulder-heads displeased him even more. However, Xue Tu himself barely spoke. His expression was constantly cold and contemptuous, like most villains.

"Shut up," he said, causing the two shoulder-heads to clam up. They glared at Tianming, as if they were blaming him for their master scolding them.

"Encountering a bloodfiend is a first for me. Are those two things on your shoulders part of your body?" Tianming asked.

"You seem to have decent cultivation, but I have no time to waste words on you," Xue Tu coldly said.

Tianming manifested his eighth totem above his head. "I see. Then forget it, I'm not that interested in you anyway."

Xue Tu was the one in a rush to leave, so he had to get rid of this obstacle. That instant, his eyes turned fierce and the cla.s.sic transformation of specters made an appearance. Bodhi had used such an ability to turn into a half-wolf. As for Xue Tu, he visibly grew in size, followed by spikes protruding from various parts of his body that could double as weapons. As for his two shoulders, they separated from his body and fell to the ground before wriggling and growing. New bodies formed with the heads as their basis. Three slightly different Xue Tus were now standing before Tianming. As expected, the one on the right sported a feminine figure, being slightly smaller in stature and having longer hair. The three of them wielded weapons and had stars in their eyes. Not to mention, every single one of them was stronger than the combined Xue Tu from before.

"What the h.e.l.l? Youre three people, not one! Isn't this cheating?!" Tianming snapped. The Astraldome was designed for single combatants. Even the 'parasitic' Soulfiend wouldn't be allowed entry, as it wasn't considered a lifebound beast or totem.

"Hehe... the wondersky realm determined that were a single ent.i.ty! This is a special talent of us bloodfiends!" said the cold Xue Tu on the left.

"The other two are actually descendants of the humans of Seventh Sun, descendants of their sovereign, in fact. Isn't that interesting?" said the one in the middle. It was the longest sentence he had said to Tianming so far. After that, all three of them attacked.

"They used to be humans...." Tianming imagined the bloodfiends absorbing two humans to become a part of their bodies. Even though it was considered a natural talent, it was a really dehumanizing process. Not to mention, who was controlling the foul-mouthed man and woman? Whose will was it? Had they been a.s.similated in both body and mind? It didn't seem that simple, however, as they called Xue Tu their master. Perhaps it was a kind of invasive mind control that took place along with the a.s.similation of their bodies. Though Tianming was still curious about how it worked, the Xue Tus didn't give him time to contemplate. They used abilities and battle arts, attacking from three directions. Though the other bodies battle arts seemed slightly inferior to the main Xue Tu's, it wasn't a big difference.

"Die!" they cried as they leapt toward Tianming.

"It's over." Tianming's expression was stone cold. As a human himself, he felt disgust at hearing about the treatment of his brethren. His ninth totem manifested, joining the rest as they exuded dense sword ki. "Die!"

The power of the Frozen Gla.s.stree in his body was concentrated on the Grand-Orient Sword. This new addition to his power had greatly powered up his sword body, and he wasn't even done absorbing the thing. All the pieces of the puzzle were a.s.sembled: his sword body, totems, and fusion strikes. He held his sword in both hands, flaring with sword ki. Though he only had one sword, he executed all six sword moves combined, unleas.h.i.+ng six dragons toward his enemy! His totems formed a sword formation around him while his dragons of different attributes fused together, their clas.h.i.+ng attributes eliciting destructive reactions. The Ninedragon Tribulation was made to be used by totemancers, and with all of its supporting parts, it reached the peak of a seventh-realm divine art without lifebound beasts or abilities. Tianming's sword fell as his totems neutralized the abilities of the three Xue Tus.

"Nine tot" Before Xue Tu could even finish the word, he had been defeated. There was only disbelief on his face as he was rendered utterly useless by the sword ki.

"Your Highness!" The other two charged forward, but were instantly skewered by Tianming's Myriadsword Providence, each sword of which was using a different strike of the Ninedragon Tribulation. The three of them were completely torn apart, completely unable to resist him. They were just as shocked to be wiped out in an instant. Tianming even noticed some tears in the air, which was weird. It seemed that they hadnt just been a.s.similated, their souls had also been corrupted and brainwashed, leaving nothing behind but loyalty toward Xue Tu.

"How tragic and cruel.... What kind of evil method is this?"
