Chapter 2405 - City of Terror

Tianming was indeed about to reach the seventh city, and in very little time at that.

"Dammit, they put six sigils on me. My caelums spine has six b.u.mps, like it's been poisoned by something. If the Three Sovereigns Mysterium don't show up in the seventh city, I won't keep playing." He had estimated the combat power of the sixth city and extrapolated that the Three Sovereigns Mysterium, who were around twelfth-level sovereigns, should be in the seventh. As for the eighth city and beyond, n.o.body in the entire Mysterium Cl.u.s.ter had ever reached it.

"Master, the seventh city, Terror City, is right ahead. It's a legendary place of fear and horror. The only reason for its existence is to instill terror into the living. Every person that enters it will see what they fear the most. Itll be a nightmare that will never leave you for the rest of your life, but never fear! Your humble slave will be there to offer you free hugs!" the wondersky fairy explained.

Tianming was already charging into the city with sword in hand before she had even finished. The spectators watched on with bated breath. Tianming didn't know any fear at that moment; the only thing that was troubling him was the sigils on his caelum. Every single city hed pa.s.sed through had negative energies thatd ended up being inscribed onto his caelum as a sigil, starting with rampage, then weakness, loneliness, and now, terror. "Let's ignore it for now. Seven sigils shouldn't be too big of a problem."

Terror City wasn't a city in a traditional sense. Instead, it was a world filled with gray, spiraling, foggy vortices.

"Master, prepare to hug me! The thing you fear most will show up soon! Itll spread through the entire world and take over the universe! No matter how hard you resist or beg, youll never be able to elude it! This will be the greatest test of your courage, so muster it to face what lies in the depths of your heart! Only by conquering the demons of your heart can you achieve victory over yourself!"

Tianming speechlessly looked at the wondersky fairy. "If I could, Id cut your hand off and stuff your mouth with it," Tianming said.

"You can also use it if your own hand doesn't suffice!" she said, blus.h.i.+ng and pointing at his nether regions. Tianming was completely stumped and defeated. Suddenly, the fairy's expression changed as it shrieked, "Master, the source of your terror has arrived!"

"I'm not afraid of the heavens and the earth. Why would I be afraid of this?" Tianming had never believed in the illusions of the wondersky realm, yet he paled and shrieked in the next instant. Limitless terror spilled out of his eyes as his body shuddered nonstop.

"Thats..." His shuddering eyes watched as the gray fog around him morphed, completely filling the s.p.a.ce around him. "Its...!"

Even the lifebound beasts tattooed over his body were shocked. "It's s.h.i.+t!"

"f.u.c.king h.e.l.l!" Tianming immediately puked. The entire world was filled with s.h.i.+t that was piled up into mountains and liquid seas and rivers, which all collapsed toward him. His face turned purple from the sheer disgust. "Divine wonderians, I'll f.u.c.king kill you!"

They had still managed to get to him at the end of the day.

"Haha, you're my official s.h.i.+t-scooper, yet you're still afraid. Pathetic!" Meow Meow mocked.

"Master, everyone fears different things. Your fear is really... unique. Come and hug me already," the wondersky fairy said, warmly opening its arms.

"Die, all of you!" Tianming unleashed his Imperealm Sword Formation, sending swords flying all around. "Let's bust out of here and look for them!" He didn't want to stay in such a place for a single moment more, opening up a path with sheer brute force. While he was in his caelum form, he still felt like he was about to puke thirty years' worth of bile. His hatred for the divine wonderians had soared to a new peak.

Even then, he was quite fortunate as he immediately spotted someone he wanted to see once he burst out of the place. There was an old human man and an old, crimson specter. They were two of the Three Sovereigns Mysterium, Yanwu Tian of the beastmasters from Skyway Monostar and Crimsonjade Fen from Skyway Tristar, respectively. The ruler of Skyway Bistar wasn't there, but it didn't matter.

Still p.i.s.sed, Tianming watched as the two figures within the sea of s.h.i.+t stood still without reacting in the slightest. That meant that the thing they feared was completely different. Not to mention, they must have been able to temporarily suppress their fear, as they had been there for so long.

"Li Tianming!" The most powerful person of the Mysterium Cl.u.s.ter, Yanwu Tian, had finally showed up, causing a wave of shock all throughout the cl.u.s.ter. Countless peoplemysterians especiallylooked at this ancient, yet powerful figure with admiration.

"f.u.c.k!" Tianming charged toward them without even letting Yanwu Tian talk.

"Shameless f.u.c.k! How dare you launch a surprise attack!" Countless mysterians cursed at the sight of that.

The most powerful Crimsonjade specter, Fen, felt his killing intent soar when he saw Tianming charge toward him, sword split into two. He used Delayed Capture right as he reached Crimsonjade Fen, instantly vaporizing the specter and properly killing him.

"Dammit!"

"It's another instant kill!"

Unlike the previous loud cheering, almost the entire Mysterium Cl.u.s.ter fell silent.

"That strike!" Yanwu Tian had wanted to summon his lifebound beasts, but he was all too shocked at the sight of the sword strike, having witnessed it from up close. He could feel how unblockable that strike was.

"You're actually this powerful now...." He looked at Tianming as the light in his eyes dimmed. All the mysterians, especially those in Skyway Monostar, were flabbergasted. They rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things.

"This world has gone mad!"

"Li Tianmings gone to unreachable heights! Can anyone keep up with him?"

The mysterians blew up into an uproar when they snapped out of their silence. The seeds of faith in Tianming began sprouting in everyone's hearts. All of them felt a little short of breath from how quickly their hearts beat.

"Yanwu Tian, is a fight still necessary?" Tianming asked, pointing his sword at him.

"No need. What do you want to ask?" Yanwu Tian took a deep breath and let it all out.

Tianming turned off the spectator view. The broadcasts all across the Mysterium Cl.u.s.ter ceased, but the audience already knew the result.

"Not even the ruler of Skyway Monostar dares to fight Li Tianming!"

"What does that mean?"

"Fool! Yanwu Tian couldnt even kill the ruler of Skyway Tristar in one strike, so there's no need for him to fight Li Tianming to know that he'll lose for sure!"

"Wait, doesn't that mean that Li Tianmings a legend thats even transcended sovereigns?"

The mysterians couldn't stop freaking out over that realization.
