Chapter 1654 - Azure Swordriver Storm

Tianming had always imagined the mysterians to be the representatives of ugliness. But his mind had been changed after seeing Ying. Bai Feng and she had yet to determine a victor. The expected conclusion would be Ying defeating Bai Feng before breaking the astralis and winning. But unexpectedly, Tianming had arrived on the scene.

That made Bai Feng feel slightly awkward. At least for today, Ill pledge my life to protecting our astralis.

Its fine, congratulations! Tianming said, relaxed. Bai Feng gaining the interest of a peak genius of the faceless specters was her fortune. He was happy for her as long as she didnt defect today.

However, Ying wasnt very happy. She frowned with her non-existent eyebrows. She looked at Tianming for a long while, her aura gradually growing colder. She didnt speak to Tianming. Instead, she turned to Bai Feng, Did this teammate of yours from the Violetglory Star beat my younger brother Xiao before?

Yes, it was me, Tianming frankly said.

You destroyed his dreams, Ying said.

You exaggerate. Getting to the third round wouldve been amazing with his skills. He wouldve just been here to have fun, Tianming replied.

You speak quite annoyingly, Ying said with annoyance.

Thats because youre used to people speaking to you with respect.

I see theres nothing left to talk about. Ying lifted up her sword and pointed it at Tianming, emanating an ice-cold killing intent.

Bai Feng pursed her lips. Princess Ying, I have to cooperate with him today. She was someone who valued her word. Tianming was quite impressed with how she wasnt bowing to Ying right now.

Tianming was more direct. No need, Sister Feng. Yanwu Ming isnt here, so Ill do it myself.

Alright. Bai Feng was also straightforward, so she quickly agreed with a nod.

Still, let me say this up front. I wont give up the chance for the Astralium Seeking just because she appreciates you. Dont blame me if I eliminate them. Tianming grinned.

I get it! Bai Feng wasnt sure whether to laugh or cry. But honestly, she did believe Tianming had this chance.

Where does this confidence come from? Ying found this slightly amusing.

From the three violethorn draconians. Theyre all gone, now that I took care of them.

Oh. That made Yings aura grow even colder. She approached Tianming, signaling Bai Feng to move away. Well determine the victor without Bai Feng being involved. My only fear is mistaking you as a worthy opponent, yet you end up not having the skill to entertain me.

How about you try? Tianming said, a short few words igniting the flames of battle.

Bai Feng quickly scrammed to their Astralium Formation.

The area was immediately plunged into silence, and many eyes were watching the two through the Mysterium Cl.u.s.ter. Among all of the Astralium Battlefields, this one had immediately been catapulted to the most watched. That was especially true for Skyway Tristar! Yings talent, status, and strength stood stable in the top three of the faceless specters junior generation. Thus, the attention she was drawing right now was nearly a hundred percent of Skyway Tristar!

That was unprecedented for Tianming. He was from far away, and no one had ever heard of the Violetglory Star before. To a deific cla.s.s overlord like the Skyway Tristar, a rural heliacal-cla.s.s star was nothing but meat on a platter.

The reason this battle had attracted such fervor wasnt just because of the personal grudge due to Xiao. The other reason was the conflict between the borders and the core. Ying represented the center of the universe and the authority of the mysterians that had never been shaken, while as for Tianming, he was the representative of the cultivators of heliacal- and skypiercer-cla.s.s worlds. After all, who didnt yearn to challenge the mysterians, bringing both fame and glory to their ancestors? No matter where, the courage of those lower born to challenge authority existed!

However, Ying didnt know anything about Tianming. There was no proof of Tianming defeating the three violethorn draconians, either. Hence, this was all still normal to her.

Tianming didnt want to hide anything, so as Ying sped toward him, he had already fully displayed his lifebound beasts and decapath era G.o.dswords. It was utterly ganging up on a lone specter with his numbers.

Still, quant.i.ty didnt mean quality. Ying was a fourth-level solarian with incredible talent and a perfect body. Her strength alone was great enough. If she defeated them one by one, numbers wouldnt matter.

Nonabane? Lifebound beasts? It was Yings first time being shocked.

Thats why you shouldnt underestimate me, or thisll all be meaningless, Tianming said.

Ying pondered it for a while. It was clear that Tianmings nine totems had exceeded her expectations. However, her fighting spirit surged. Ive changed my mind. You arent a bad opponent. Yings fighting spirit had gone up, but her anger had fallen.

Perhaps,

she thought,

Tianming beating Xiao wasnt undeserved

.

Come. Tianming was carrying the large Grand-Orient Sword in his hand. Perched on his left shoulder was a little yellow chick and a small black cat was at his feet. There was also the gargantuan Lan Huang, as well as Xian Xian, who was rooted to the ground and served as a backdrop. Finally, nine ma.s.sive swords revolved around them.

Yes. Ying nodded. This time, her tone was much more gentle.

Li Tianming, would you be willing if I invited you to cultivate in the Skyway Tristar? Ying stopped just before she was about to attack. Clearly, his nine totems had changed many of her preconceptions. Even her brothers anger was no longer so important.

Way too far. Maybe after the Astralium Seeking, you can ask your seniors how long itll take to get there from my hometown? Tianming said.

I will.

However, I thought you mysterians rejected foreign races? Tianming asked.

You not joining the mysterians doesnt mean you cant cultivate in Skyway Tristar. Being my friend will benefit you much more than being in a skypiercer-cla.s.s world. The three deific-cla.s.s worlds are the heart of this universe.

Amazing. Tianming sighed in praise.

Ying was different from others. It seemed that she liked to make friends, perhaps because it was beneficial to her compet.i.tion with the other faceless specters her age. And Tianming could also take advantage of her to find out the distance between Skyway Tristar and the Violetglory Star.

If its just a one or two month journey, Ill have to go on the run after the Astralium Seeking.

Tianming was self-aware. He was a genius without any backing and too many secrets. His crime was being too awesome. It may have seemed all calm in the Violetglory Star right now, but there were too many unknown risks. Going to the Mysterium Cl.u.s.ter would be no different from suicide.

Then, I wont be polite now. My younger brother is still hoping that Ill help him vent, Ying laughed. Her personality felt similar to Feilings; she just didnt have a face.

Youve been polite enough, Tianming laughed as well.

Nonabanes are worthy of it, she replied. That was normal. Truly great clans or races would instead have fewer arrogant people. Geniuses understood other geniuses the best and knew there was nothing fake about totems. But, politeness was politeness and compet.i.tion was compet.i.tion. Both of these geniuses wanted to go to the Astralium Seeking, so what would follow would be a no-holds-barred match.

Please enlighten me. Yings nimble body once more made its way toward Tianming. Although she looked weak, she was actually on par with Lan Huang in terms of strength, defense, and quality.

She tore through the air, causing the earth to tremble in her wake.

Tianming had no way of matching up to such a physical body, unless he could fuse Lan Huangs ma.s.sive body with his own. More frighteningly, there were also traces of sword ki on Ying, which meant that she also had a sword body like Tianming.

Sword ki exploded out from her body, forming a snow-white tempest of swords around her.

Tianming, this is Princess Yings grade-eight divine hazard sword ki, Azure Swordriver Storm, Bai Feng said from afar.

That meant that Tianmings advantage from the Frozen Gla.s.stree was gone. Yings astralforce as a fourth-level solarian was also quite a frightening thing, and her sacrosuns were very mature. It came out, filling the area around her with stars.

The stars transformed into incredibly realistic cherry blossoms that drifted around her as swords and cherry blossoms danced around. And in the center, a young lady as pure as the moon was flitting around. However, her lack of a face gave the scene a peculiar attractiveness that could warp an onlookers sense of beauty.

Still, while whether it was pretty was up for debate, what was certain was the danger presented by a fourth-level solarian genius. Geniuses were all existences who could fight above their level, and Tianming was even still a constellier. He wasnt sure if he could besiege such an opponent. This was his first time fighting against another genius that Tianming had so little confidence.

Skycloud Soul, cherrywind sacrosun, the Azure Swordriver Storm, and a specters powerful body all joined together to make the current Ying a grim reaper. Her sword suddenly appeared, already stabbing at Tianmings forehead.
