Chapter 2788 - Son of the Fiendhunt King

If Tianming succeeded in making a connection, he would be able to procure more order fragments for the Sun in the future. He immediately turned his attention to Gu Tianyue. Fiendhunt Gorge wasn't that far from the Bloodtower Cult's lair, and it was much, much larger, spanning a vast expanse. There were many specters there that formed their own factions; fights often broke out between them.

There were quite a few elite cultivators near Gu Tianyue, so Tianming needed a way to isolate him. But as long as he had Yin Chen, he would find an opportunity. All he needed next was some luck. Zi Zhen wouldn't be able to afford it if Gu Tianyue chose to cultivate in isolation for a few years.

"I also need the ability to subdue him as fast as possible!" Gu Tianyue was a genius specter, so he was by no means weak. Fortunately for Tianming, his luck seemed to be turning around. It took only three days of waiting before Gu Tianyue decided to go out on his own. He was a talented youth that was good at keeping low, so excursions weren't uncommon for him.

"I can only grow stronger in real combat. Since it's still the blackout period, I'll claim a few more heads to prove to Father that I'm not any bit weaker than his other legitimate sons!" Gu Tianyue's gaze was cold. He shrank his body and began searching for prey in the mountains.

It was all too common for fights to start out of nowhere in this dark world. Tianming decided to fake a coincidental encounter, letting Gu Tianyue 'discover' him.

"Is that the outworlder with a bounty from the New Shrine? If I take him down, Father will be proud of me!" Gu Tianyue thanked his lucky stars and immediately charged toward Tianming, who feigned a look of fear and ran.

Naturally, the specter didn't know of Yin Chen's existence and completely fell for it. He was lured farther and farther away to somewhere devoid of any people. Tianming slowed down there and let the specter catch up to him. Turning around, he saw the two snake heads right in front of him.

"Youd better submit while I'm being nice!" Like a cat that cornered its prey, Gu Tianyue was filled with confidence. He wielded a spear called the Lightchase Galaxy, clearly something made in the astralscape of order. It shone with blinding starlight and had an astral-like cosmic impulse.

Three cosmic charts unfolded behind the youth, a sign that he was no weaker than Lin Lingxiao. However, he was much younger, which meant he had used order fragments to get to this point. That was an advantage that denizens of the Xenoabyss had over outworlders.

However, his order was far from capable of a.s.serting any pressure on Tianming, who unleashed the power of his own streams of order through his hexagonal forbidden zone! The force of imperial and lifesbane orders caused Gu Tianyue to be short of breath. With a loud roar, he raised his spear and unleashed abilities using his snakeheads. The ground around him shook and cracked apart.

Tianming simply loved fighting specters, as ganging up on them was simply fair game. Ying Huo and three other beasts took their positions and charged toward the specter at the same time. With more bloodline chains unshackled, they were more than capable of enduring the pressure of Gu Tianyue's order. Lan Huang and Xian Xian clashed with the specter in a brute-force manner while Tianming fused his totems into his sword and descended from above.

My lifesbane order allowed me to quickly master Dominium Imperatoris, while my imperial order made it much easier for me to fuse it with the other moves!

Tianming used his three-hundred-odd lexicon words to suppress Gu Tianyue, who had just been tearing apart Xian Xian's roots and pus.h.i.+ng Lan Huang away with his abilities. The mult.i.tude of minor manifestations of the universal laws were absolutely torturous to deal with.

"You animal, whered you get all these tricks?!" He could see Tianming's two other beasts joining up.

The power of fire and lightning seemed to be brewing, fusing together to form an even more powerful move. Tianming, on the other hand, manifested the four divine figures of the imperatores. His Grand-Orient Sword surged with the power of the Imperator's Mural and the power of his totems. Even though he was many levels inferior to the specter, his aura definitely appeared much more powerful.

All at once, the combined four-strike fusion move of the Imperator's Mural came cras.h.i.+ng down! At the same time, Ying Huo and Meow Meow mixed multiple abilities together and sent the ma.s.s of volatile energy blasting toward Gu Tianyue, demonstrating their amazing synergy from their past lives with their link skill, Beacon Chaosswamp!

Gu Tianyue groaned at the prospect of having to face both killer moves at once. The eyes of his snakehead tail widened as their mouth opened to form colorful vortices. A rush of cold air suddenly covered the entire area. At the same time, Gu Tianyue's body tensed with power while the cosmic impulse in his spear flared up.

"How dare you lure me into a trap?! Die!" But soon, he realized that he had made that proclamation far too early. Putting the ultimate moves aside, he could barely handle the divine wonder, Lan Huang, and Xian Xian. Tianming's strike canceled out his ability without breaking a sweat, shattering its power all around. The sword flash pierced through the cold domain, sent the spear flying off, and slashed at his cosmic chart!

Gu Tianyue groaned in pain and suddenly collapsed. Both of his hands were severed, and the cosmic charts that were attacked dimmed to the point that they almost vanished. If it wasnt for Tianming showing mercy, he would be dead.

"You!" Gu Tianyue's rage, however, soon turned into fear. He didn't want to die without understanding the reason.

Tianming landed on the ground and thrust the sword into his chest. Lan Huang, Xian Xian, Meow Meow, and the grand lexicon wonder's words kept Gu Tianyue pinned down on the ground.

"I have no quarrel with you! Whyd you come after me?!" Gu Tianyue barked.
