Chapter 2537 - Shadefiend
Chapter 2537 - Shadefiend
Tianming wasn't aware that what he said sent waves across the entire Skydome Mundus. Unlike the Infinitum Mundus, the Skydome Mundus had wondersky realms, allowing news to spread across the whole mundus in an instant. That was especially the case with interactions of elites in the wondersky realms. Most realms would automatically broadcast news like that to their visitors.
It was obvious what kind of reaction the issue of the rex mundi’s child, Fengqing Yin, being shaken off by Tianming and gathering two teammates to head to the Dreamstream would be. The mysterious three-person group would be facing off against the children of the rex mundi as well as the hallowed shamaness, who was coming back for a vengeance, and a specter youth who had shaken Skyhold Bridge once before. The specter, Xu, had been brought from a fourth-class nova source world to Wondrium by Fengqing Yin in the same manner he had offered Tianming.
Among the three of them, Fengqing Yin and Xu were over two hundred years old. Fu Yan was younger and weaker, but her recent growth had made up for that quite a bit, especially her tertiary simulacrum. Despite being among the youngest groups in Skyhold Bridge, their performance had been astounding; they had managed a five-win streak once before. While Tianming's group's ages were considered a mystery, the busybody audience of the Skydome Mundus yearned to see them fight. More and more people prayed that they would meet in the Dreamstream.
While the Skydome Mundus was an elegant place in general, there was still a desire to see bloodshed. Before the two groups even encountered each other, the number of spectators that had gathered had reached ten times that of Tianming's first battle at Skyhold Bridge against those crooks. His reputation had truly spread far and wide in the Skydome Mundus. Many divine wonderians had even made their way to Skyway Monostar through the Xenoworld. Despite any restrictions, there were still those who would take the risk. However, they were doomed to a fruitless trip.
......
The bridge they were on kept on advancing. Tainming enjoyed looking at the colorful and bubbly waves of the Dreamstream. Having had experience of fighting there once before, he felt much more relaxed.
"Losing access to divine wonderian foundation caeli would be quite a blow." As such, he was feeling rather eager to win and honed his mind to full alertness. He also had Yin Chen spread all over their Skyhold Bridge. It didn't take long before their piece connected to another.
"New opponents... are spotted." Yin Chen immediately spread to the connecting piece of the bridge to scout out the enemy. The piece they were on was four times the size of the one they had started out with.
"Let's go!" Tianming, Feiling, and Xiaoxiao headed towards the center of the bridge. The opponents would be reaching there soon enough.
"Yin Chen, report details of the opponents to me when you encounter them," Tianming said.
"Of course... you don't... need to... tell me..." it said with an annoyed voice, before it suddenly paused. "What the... fuck is... this about?!"
"Are their names Whatthe, Fuckis, and Thisabout?"
"You fool... the enemy... is beyond... your expectations."
"In what way? Are they mutants with three heads and six arms?" That description actually suited the Soulfiend. As long as they were going up against people with their combat capabilities limited to under five hundred years old, Tianming wasn't worried. It was only their second battle, so the foes wouldn't be as powerful as the ninth or tenth anyway.
With the bridge much larger now, it took more time to reach the center. Suddenly, Tianming noticed that the flat, white bridge began to change. Earth rose up from beneath, forming valleys, mountains, and deserts. It was as if he left the bridge and returned to Sandblast City.
"Wondersky fairy, what is happening?"
"Master, according to the rules of Skyhold Bridge, some high-status divine wonderians have the privilege of picking the arena," the wondersky fairy replied in a sneaky tone.
"Dam!" That was truly shameless. It was one thing for two people to be counted as one, but those with high status could pick where they fought too?
"How is this remotely fair as they claim?" Feiling said.
"Well, let's see which bigwig this is. I can't wait to beat them up." Right as Tianming said that, he saw his opponents and froze. It was no wonder Yin Chen had freaked out. Tianming knew three of them, namely, Fu Yan and the black and white Fengqing couple that came holding hands. Their gazes were locked onto Tianming's and were filled with excitement rather than shock, a sign they had planned to encounter him.
"Don't tell me they have the privilege to choose who they fight too…." He was quite unhappy about this.
"Are they trying to vent?" Feiling asked. She could tell that they seemed to be holding a grudge.
"Maybe they're just trying to show me up after they failed to do so earlier," Tianming said.
"What do we do? If their status is really that high..." Xiaoxiao said.
"The higher status they are, the more punchable their faces. Let's go!" Tianming didn't bother to say anything else and charged straight in. Of the four, Fu Yan's totems were powerful and Tianming hadn't been able to beat her back then until he used his second totemic calamity. It was clear she had made a breakthrough and clearly held on to the grudge from last time, given her cold expression. Even then, she was still the least threatening out of the group.
Fengqing Yinguang and Fengqing Yinye were both ninth-astral orderans, and as the children of the rex mundi, they had the very best divine wonders. Given that they were twice the age of Shenxi Shang, they were no doubt incredibly powerful. As for the final opponent, the specter youth was the one who gave Tianming the biggest sense of danger.
"A shadefiend?" Tianming had seen information about them before. Shadefiends were specters of a rather terrifying bloodline. Their entire bodies were black in color and their skin resembled alligator skin. They also had long limbs, a tall and slender build, and dorsal-fin-like spikes sprouting from their backs. Their claws were easily twice the length of their fingers. Not to mention, they were exceedingly fast to the point they would be able to leave afterimages. This shadefiend easily created afterimage clones all over the place in a mere instant and he could even use abilities and manna!
"There's three hundred thousand stars!" For someone so young to have so many stars, he must be the strongest specter Tianming had encountered.
"Li Tianming." Fengqing Yinguang's lips curved up as his eyes filled with killing intent.
