Chapter 3166 - The Fastest Record in History
Tianming felt people swarming past him, and his Plundering Eye picked out people like Suishen Yao and Suishen Shuang charging at the forefront. “The demon queen dressed up a bit now that she had to make an official appearance today....” Finally, she wasn't in her pajamas anymore.
Even as he recalled the scenery under her skirt, he didn’t stop moving. Their speed depended on Suishen Zhao. Tianming couldn’t overtake him, so he could only follow him. Suishen Zhao was definitely at the lower end in terms of speed among the two hundred teams.
Suishen Zhao was only a seventh-level cosmic cartographer, while Tianming was a third-level cosmic cartographer! Even eleventh-level cosmic cartographers were rare around them. Most people on the path were twelfth-level cosmic cartographers, while there were a few foundationeers—like Suishen Yao.
Competing for the top ten in such circumstances?
“No wonder Suishen Zhao is so lacking in confidence.” It was very difficult!
A fervent voice erupted from the crowd. “Look, it’s the vitality idol!”
Tianming had heard Suishen Zhao describe that idol. The nine divine idols were each different. According to Suishen Zhao, the vitality idol tests pure comprehension talent! It was actually an advantage for him and Suishen Zhao.
“The ranking on the Prehistoric Path has two evaluation standards. First is the clear count, and second is the clear time. The clear count means the number of divine idols conquered. If the number’s the same, the total time taken to clear them determines the ranking: the shorter the total time, the higher the rank!”
There were nine divine idols in total. On the Fortuna Path, the highest clear count record in history was six. Thus, the probability of having the same number of trials cleared was quite high, which made the time taken to clear the trials very important. Because of that, Suishen Zhao not only aimed to break through the trials but also to do it fast!
Tianming looked up. The Prehistoric Path violently trembled as the vitality idol he had anticipated for five days finally descended.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion or reality as endless dazzling green starlight condensed into an astral giant as huge as Huang Qi! It was a true astral giant, vast and possessing infinite starlight. It was the highest form of life that evoked yearning from people.
Of course, it was different from Huang Qi because the vitality idol wasn’t a divine body, but more like a special soul body.
Tianming couldn’t describe the feeling. This soul body resembled a caelum with its profundities. However, it also seemed like a vita with consciousness and thoughts.... And finally, it had the properties of a terra with the heaviness and tangible materialization!
It’s like an astral giant with the tripartite souls combined? Although it’s a soul, it’s almost like a tangible entity,
Tianming thought upon seeing the idol. What set him apart from others was that he had seen Huang Qi, so his thinking was broader, knowing that such beings as the Primordial God-Emperor, Huang Qi, and Di Yi existed in the universe.Myriadpath Valley was definitely not the end of cultivation! Even the Xenoabyss had mythical places like the Oldgod Domain. The world had just too many secrets. For that reason, Tianming didn’t have the blind arrogance in his heart that gold ring disciples of Myriadpath Valley had, but reverence instead.
“It’s here!” Suishen Zhao stood shoulder to shoulder with Tianming, facing the green life storm from the vitality idol.
“Don’t resist, calm your mind!”
“Got it!”
Tianming felt the vitality idol collide with him and his tripartite souls—caelum, terra, and vita—all shook! The intense vibration caused his tripartite souls to be in disarray. The three souls seemed to merge into one, becoming a special entity that appeared in another world!
“Is this... the wondersky realm?” He opened his eyes, shocked at his surroundings. He had appeared in a green world teeming with vegetation and life.
It wasn’t Myriadpath Valley. Forests, seas of flowers, wind, rivers... everything was filled with life.
He indeed felt like he had entered the wondersky realm because he felt his body was a bit unreal. But, terrifyingly, he could still sense the existence of his lifebound space and saw Ying Huo and the others inside him. The ‘wondersky realm’ in front of him was almost indistinguishable from the real world.
In other words, it was beyond what a wondersky realm made of formations and celestial patterns could achieve.
“How was this done?”
Even the surrounding reverends and eminents were gone. There was only one person, Suishen Zhao, still standing shoulder to shoulder with Tianming.
Tianming’s three eyes swept over him. His red hair, eyelashes, and gaze were all too real.
“What’re you looking at?” Suishen Zhao speechlessly asked.
“Where are we?”
“The world of the divine idol. Find the divine idol and quickly conquer it!” Suishen Zhao could understand Tianming’s shock. After all, it was his first time experiencing such an incredible event.
Fortunately, Tianming reacted very fast. My eight orders are still there, and so is my Trisoul Prime.
It was very clear to him.First, possibly due to the relationship with his soul, he felt his orders were more integrated into him and they felt like the pillars of his body.
Second, the Trisoul Prime from the Aeonic Grandbane hadn’t increased his soul strength, but had instead changed the structure of his tripartite souls. The change in structure was evident. He saw some strange black characters on his skin that had nothing to do with the grand lexicon wonder.
“I wonder if they have any effect?”
Suishen Zhao said they should quickly find the vitality idol. But where was it?
It was impossible to find it just by looking, so he and Suishen Zhao tacitly used all their body’s senses.
Mountains, forests, rivers, and seas, life... Tianming swept through it all.
“Vitality idol, all things filled with vitality... each person’s vitality idol is different, so there’s no reference experience. And my vitality idol is here!”
Tianming suddenly plummeted from the sky and crashlanded. Countless green grass surged out of the ground in response, entwining Tianming.
“The vitality idol, a fusion of tripartite souls, is it?” Countless grass condensed into a giant grass figure, completely enveloping him and wrapping him in its belly.
Suishen Zhao blankly stared at the scene!
“He found it so quickly?” He didn’t have time to ask Tianming what trick he had used, because at that moment, the world’s vegetation all gathered toward the vitality idol, growing larger and larger. It grew until it was tens of thousands of meters high, like a world unto itself! Even Suishen Zhao was trapped.
“All things brimming with vitality, the power of life....” Tianming was right in the heart of the idol. Countless grass twisted and tightened around him, piercing into his body. Once penetrated, he would become part of the idol and be assimilated by the vegetation.
On the other side, Suishen Zhao was experiencing the same thing.
“The first trial is already this difficult!” Suishen Zhao deeply realized the challenge. This divine idol tested talent.
“Calm down!” He took a deep breath, resisting the grass piercing into his body.
On the other side, the grass touching Tianming’s Trisoul Prime body began to smoke and burn.
Tianming’s eyes lit up! “In the end, you’re a departed soul. You can’t harm me, so why not let me use you?” In the Grand Myriadpath Ruins, Tianming’s imperial order descended, resonating with countless reverend caeli.
Now, with the Trisoul Prime protecting him, he instantly manifested the power of his eight orders, with the imperial order at the core! Among them, Xian Xian’s radix order brightly, shining on Tianming’s radix liver. It replaced the imperial order and became his main order.
“The vitality of all things stems from the radix of life!” When the radix order came into close contact with the vitality idol, Tianming heard some voices.
“Woo woo... too... long ago!”
“Descendant! My dao is lonely! Lonely!”
“The twilight of the human realm, the era ends. After destruction, when does vitality come? Where is vitality!”
Tianming’s heartbeat accelerated.
“Is this the heart of the vitality idol?” In a trance, he saw an enormous star. Unlike sixth-level nova sources like Ebonia, its power wasn’t a star but instead resembled a... hazy fairyland! The hazy fairyland was filled with verdant green and was adorned with countless grasses and flowers.
“So beautiful!”
The power of order accelerated the growth of all vegetation in the world. Even if destruction occurred, all things would still thrive with vitality.
Tianming witnessed it all. The process was somewhat like observing the foundation fortress of foundationeer caeli but more profound, because this time he observed a world... a world brimming with vitality!
“This is the power of a super order....” Tianming was in awe, hungrily absorbing using his radix order.
“What a beautiful world....” Even Xian Xian saw it.
“Radix, vitality!”
The scene seemed like it took millions of years, but also an instant. When that moment ended, Tianming was shocked to find his radix order had significantly grown, which also drove the growth of his other orders.
“This might just be enough to let me form my fourth cosmic chart!” Tianming dared not directly break through on this Prehistoric Path, fearing others would see his true level; he was still too weak and wanted to wait a bit!
However, after watching the scene, the vitality idol suddenly dispersed.
“What?” Not far away, Suishen Zhao saw the immense giant disperse into a rain of flowers falling from the sky.
“Li Tianming, you!” Before Suishen Zhao could finish, they both experienced the world spinning.
They finally felt their real bodies and landed together. They stared ahead, dumbfounded. There was no one in the mist in front of them. Hundreds of fortuna disciples were all with their eyes closed, enveloped by the vitality idol and motionless.
“We passed the trial first?” Suishen Zhao stared blankly at Tianming. He knew who had led the way.
At that moment, an overwhelming cheer almost blew the two youths away.
“The fastest record in history! Vitality idol, Suishen Zhao, Li Tianming, time taken: thirty breaths!” Myriadpath Valley erupted in jubilation.
