Chapter 2770 - Calm Your Fury, Rex Mundi
Tianming didn't need to resolve the Imperial Sword Prison; just letting it enter a dormant state would be sufficient. As long as Yuan Yu didn't cause trouble, there would be no need for further action. The same applied to Gu Chunhan and the others.
"Let's go," Tianming said to Zi Zhen.
Zi Zhen instantly released Yuan Yu, then, with Tianming on her back, a purple light flashed and they left the cave.
Left behind, Yuan Yu knelt on the ground, utterly weakened and covered in cold sweat.
"Ah! So hard!" At this moment, Tianming felt a sense of retribution. Zi Zhen's back was even harder than Lan Huang’s, and was also full of spikes that pierced his flesh and targeted crucially sensitive areas. The sensation was more ‘refreshing’ than eating spicy hotpot. In just a short while, Tianming's entire body was wounded, revealing how uncomfortable it must have been for those who faced Zi Zhen.
"Is that better?" A fierce wind surged and Tianming finally felt that his mount was not as fierce. He looked down and saw that she had returned to her original appearance. She was still cold and pure, but her eyes weren’t as narrow and her six pupils had returned to two. In her current state, she seemed much more approachable.
"Better." Tianming knowingly smiled.
"I...." A fierce wind came, and her purple hair became soft, and fragrance wafted in the air.
"What's wrong?" Tianming asked.
"The way I looked just now, was it... a bit ugly?" She lowered her head, her voice trembling with hesitation.
"If that's called ugly, then there's no good-looking person in this Xenoabyss," Tianming immediately replied.
"Is your way of speaking always so crude?"
"Huh?"
......
In Nascentis Mundus, there existed a giant light blue star, Nastus, standing proud in the sky with colorful stars surrounding it. There was a magnificent, yet illusory palace on it, within which several nascent mediums were kneeling and profusely sweating.
Before them, the white-robed Yuan Yu was pacing around, cursing.
At that moment, the sky shone, and with a loud rumble, a woman dressed in crystalline attire descended. She sparkled like a gem and her skin was as white as pearls. She was truly snow white in every sense of the word. Moreover, her beauty was unparalleled and pure to the extreme. She appeared quite young, seemingly not much older than Yuan Yu.
The radiance of the entire star seemed to gather on her.
"Greetings, Rex Mundi!" All the nascent mediums prostrated on the ground, their hearts pounding. To be honest, if it weren't for this incident, it wouldn’t have been easy for them to meet the supreme rex mundi.
The snow-white woman was the rex mundi of the Nascentis Mundus! She appeared young, but it was because her appearance was skillfully maintained.
She waved her sleeve, and all the nascent mediums, including Yuan Long and Yuan Feng, were swept away. She only had eyes for Yuan Yu. After a few steps, she arrived in front of him.
"Mother!" Yuan Yu's eyes were bloodshot as he threw himself into his mother's arms, his voice filled with despair. "I... I almost... never saw you again! I almost died!" He finished speaking and burst into tears.
The woman's beautiful eyebrows knit together in a frown and an invisible storm churned in the hall.
The fifth-level cosmic cartographer nascent mediums dared not even breathe, shivering. They knew the rex mundi's affection for Yuan Yu. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been so arrogant and unruly, doing as he pleased.
"Yuan Feng!" The woman stood at a high place, stroking her son's head while looking down. The nascent mediums immediately knelt again. Among them, Yuan Feng was sweating buckets. He reported the incident that occurred in the Xenoabyss, leaving out no details.
"What mundus are those people from?" the woman asked.
"I don't know. Anyway, they aren’t from any nearby mundus. People in the Xenoabyss may be separated from us by countless star domains. In the real world, we may not be able to get there after thousands of years," Yuan Feng explained.
"How’d you handle things there? And how’d they have a clear idea of your movements and trade details? Is there a spy among you?" the woman coldly asked.
"Calm your fury, Rex Mundi."
Another sturdy man, Yuan Long, said, "I don't think there was a spy. Here’s my reasons. First, those two were wanted criminals of Antiquitas Mortis with low status and no backing. We have no reason to communicate with such people. Second, we have no benefit in taking risks."
He stepped forward and spoke for everyone, and the others quickly kowtowed, self-proclaiming their innocence. Talking about a spy was really far-fetched.
"I can believe you on those points. The problem is, tell me, how should my son settle the score with them?" the woman said.
"Mother, you must stand up for me!" Yuan Yu cried. If it were people from the Nascentis Mundus, the woman could easily eliminate them with a word.
"Rex Mundi, there's a lingering force threatening the young master's body. You should take a look first," Yuan Feng calmly said.
"Oh?" The woman was vigilant. She quickly checked and frowned. "That person's proficiency in divine patterns is quite profound. Was it caused by a weapon?"
"Yes."
"That weapon isn’t simple, but perhaps due to the serious loss of cosmic impulses, the pattern, while mysterious, can still be expelled," the woman said. She then began removing the Imperial Sword Prison from Yuan Yu.
"Rex Mundi, if we can remove the lingering force of life and death from the young master's body, I think we’ll have a chance to fight back," Yuan Long said.
"Speak."
"I privately made some modifications to that order fragment without telling anyone. If he hasn't refined it yet, we can still go in now and find him. However, this time, the young master can't go in again," Yuan Long said.
"Wait until we get the order fragment back and it won't be too late for the young master to go in again," Yuan Feng said.
"Okay. Gather everyone who can go to the Xenoabyss. Surround and kill those two, and bring their heads out," the woman ordered.
"Yes!"
"They may have a method of surveillance that provides outstanding intelligence. When you go in, focus on the main goal and don't engage in meaningless communication."
"Yes!" the nascent mediums chorused.
......
In the Xenoabyss.
"For the best effect, I have to break through in the Xenoabyss this time. Moreover... the multiorder symphony of the ninth astral phase is the best way for me to obtain imperial order. Going up with my caelum from right under the Sea of Order should be more convenient!"
Tianming had waited for this day for too long. To ensure success, he had to find a completely safe location, disperse Yin Chens around him to monitor any movements, and, at the same time, let Zi Zhen protect him with all her might.
Two days later, he left the densely populated area and found an underwater cave in the depths of the underground sea. Then he took out the third-level order fragment.
"Quick, quick."
Ying Huo and the rest all held their manna, each with more than ninety apertures. They were the highest quality of resources from the Starhunters and Lin Clan and had long been prepared for him by Xiaodao and the others.
