Chapter 1709 - Zhurong FireG.o.ds

This was yet another high-profile battle. Instead of Skyway Tristar, Tianming would face off against a representative of Skyway Bistar, which was considered to be the origin of the lifesbaners. Their totems were the kings of all totems and they were all the offspring of the old arcane G.o.ds.

Shenwu Fen's hair fluttered from the power he radiated. He had three victories under his belt, while Tianming only had one. The loser's count would reset after the battle.

"What? Brother Fen, are you two going to fight?" Shenwu Yin cried out.

"Whatre you doing?" Shenwu Fen asked.

"I want to see him beat you up for always pinching my face and messing with me, hmph!"

"Hehe..." he chuckled and glanced at Tianming, then headed toward an empty ink-green formation. His followers all glared at Tianming as well.

"A match between those with the strongest totemancy talent, eh?"

"Thisll be interesting."

"Shenwu Yin is too young, and her loss was a sore spot for the Wushen tribe. Shenwu Fen's the real undefeatable one."

"Though, even Long would have a hard time dealing with him despite being a stronger single fighter."

"Li Tianming really didn't eat his words. He came straight to settle things with the Celestial Beings and even defeated Long in a straight fight. Now, it's Shenwu Fen's turn. Do you think he'll keep climbing toward the top three?"

"Forget that. Let's see how he handles Shenwu Fen first."

"Then again, Long is truly odd for having lost twice. Given his power, he shouldn't be suffering such humiliating losses either."

Unlike the ma.s.ses, those from the three deific-cla.s.s worlds already knew that Tianming would go after those in the Celestial Beings, and Shenwu Fen was only the second in the line. This was an unprecedented challenge toward the mysterians as a whole. While those two were juniors, it still held quite a bit of significance. No mysterian had been so publicly challenged before.

Tianming and Long were of different races, but Shenwu Fen was a match for him. They considered Tianming a totemancer, after all. At the very least, the mysterians from Skyway Bistar and those from the Wushen tribe were relieved that Shenwu Fen didn't pale in comparison in terms of talent. They were still rather nervous, however, given how fierce Tianming's rise had been. Long had underestimated him the two times he fought him, and he wasn't that much weaker than Shenwu Fen either.

The Violetglory Star, on the other hand, flared up with excitement and countless fireworks were unleashed in the wondersky realm. In a world where martial prowess reigned supreme, n.o.body would miss out on a battle on the universal stage.

......

The ink-green formation was immediately surrounded by spectators. Shenwu Fen casually stepped inside it and the character on his face began glowing like magma, instantly causing the surrounding temperature to rise. Skyway Bistar went wild before the battle had even started. If Shenwu Fen also had Imperial Will, he would no doubt have many believers on his home star. The heartbeats of the countless spectators alone sounded like the clap of thunder.

Then Tianming stepped into the battlefield, raising his flawless, razor-edged sword. It was clear as crystal, making it hard for the eyes to see. However, it glowed with a faint sharpness. His white hair, black and gold eyes, black arm, and formless sword made for an impression that was no less impressive as Shenwu Fen's.

"The top geniuses I've seen over the years, apart from Weisheng Xi, are all faceless people. But now there's another one with a face."

"He looks much stronger than Weisheng Xi, who's a handsome man one moment and a beautiful girl another... n.o.body can resist that person."

"That's right. I heard that he has both boy and girlfriends among the mysterians."

Those conversations were all private. n.o.body dared to say that they thought the wonderians were weird, but they all agreed that Tianming was more 'normal' than them. Not only that, his looks fit the beauty standards of the universe. While Weisheng Xi was good looking in his own right, who would dare to approach him?

Tianming's reputation began rising, and Shenwu Fen gave him his full attention. Unlike Long, he wasn't one to look down on his enemy. He could tell how terrifying Tianming's powers were and took him seriously from the get-go.

"Use both your totems and lifebound beasts. Don't hold back," Shenwu Fen said.

"It's a battle between totemancers. What do lifebound beasts have to do with it?" Tianming said.

"Oh? Then I expect you to not use them until the end." Shenwu Fen summoned the totems that stemmed from the character of his face. Nine ancient G.o.ds emerged, causing flare and flame to spread throughout the area. The nine flaming giants burned with the flame of G.o.ds, their ends still connected to Shenwu Fen's face. Unlike their slender totemancer, the giants had burly physiques, messy hair, and animal-like faces. Flaming dragons seemed to circle them. They were also part of the totems, forming halberds for the totems to use.

Old G.o.d totems were indeed different. Li Haochen's Vastsun TrueG.o.d was a fire-type totem too, but it looked puny in comparison to the zhurong fireG.o.ds. Both zhurong fireG.o.ds and gonggong waterG.o.ds were among the strongest totems the Wushen tribe had, and only nonabanes had them. They looked fiercer than the gonggong waterG.o.ds and seemed a better fit for combat, making Shenwu Fen look like a demon from h.e.l.l.

"Looks like this totem match will be a fun one."
