Chapter 2403: Graveyard of the Gods
“Wah wah wah... are you a toad?” Tianming didn’t even look at her as he walked away. Looking at her was too distracting after all. “The wonderians actually made this kind of sexual stuff so realistic. So much for the ‘pure romance’ they espouse.”
His purpose today was to identify the threat the wonderians posed to him. This wondersky fairy is strange. If she’s a real person that’s roleplaying, I’ll just ignore her and see if I can make her show some flaws.
Thus, when she came crawling over, his next step landed on her head, using her as a launching pad to fly off.
The peerless beauty was momentarily stunned, then began sobbing as she lay sprawled on the floor. When Tianming looked back and saw that inappropriate position, he almost lost his lunch. He cursed the wonderians in his heart, not slowing down. “Damnable wonderians!”
“Master, wait for your humble servant!” The wondersky fairy hurriedly got up to follow after him.
“Don’t fly above me!” Tianming grit his teeth.
“I can’t do that, that’s this humble servant’s setting.”
Tianming was speechless. Thank god others couldn’t see his wondersky fairy. If Feiling in particular saw a temptress sticking so close above him, a knife might come down on him in the real world.
Tianming flew toward the black octopus. “My information here hasn’t changed, I’m still a third-level stellaminor. However, I updated my power when I entered the heavenly locus formation. Although my totems haven’t recovered, I’m still stronger than I was the last time I came in.” His totems were still marked as nonsimulacrum.
I’m guessing the entire Mysterium Cluster doesn’t have a simulacrum. While he was thinking that, he came into contact with a sucker on the tentacle and the world spun around him.
“Master, welcome to the Skydome Battlefield, where heroes are born and millions gaze upon them. Here, you’ll continue your journey of glory! Last time, you slaughtered all in your path at Darkfiend City, securing your name in history. Darkfiend City will never forget you, and now, Saintless City welcomes you! Saintless City is a strange place. All who visit become as fragile as a mortal, which is why people have taken to calling this place the graveyard of the gods. A fragile god could even die to a puny mortal here! My brave master, as a hot-blooded youth, Saintless City is the place to begin your legend. Are you willing to accept its challenge?” The wondersky fairy flew in front of him. She held Tianming’s face as her eyes shone with hope.
“Cut the fluff. I don’t need it and will just kill my way through!” Tianming could already see Saintless City. It was a gray city hidden in black mist, giving off the vibe of a graveyard. “Another city! Darkfiend City may exist in the real world. Now there’s this. Could the background fluff really be true?”
Tianming had a strong impression of three types of cities. First was Feiling’s Perpetia City. Second was the Foundation built in the Foundation stage. And third, the twenty-nine checkpoint cities of the Skydome Battlefield, including the final Voidback City.
“Could they be connected? Also, could my Order Relic be a similar kind of item as Perpetia City?” He could only make baseless guesses now. The only thing he knew was that Feiling’s albi hadn’t become Perpetia Cities.
Tianming entered the city while harboring doubts. Every checkpoint you pass will mark my caelum. Thus, I should try to minimize passing. I’ll just see if I can encounter someone related to Etherean Zhaohua. It’ll be even better if they’re from the Mysterium Cluster. There’ll be few of them in the further cities. He would have to rely on luck. Yin Chen wasn’t as effective in the wondersky realm as it was in the real world, so he couldn’t rely on it to search the city.
“I’ve weakened?” The city was strange indeed. But it was all fake in the end, so Tianming was still confident. “If everyone’s been weakened to the same stage, battle arts and techniques will decide the victor.”
Tianming had the space and time sword arts of two reges mundi.
……
“Look, it’s Violetglory’s Li Tianming!”
“How long has it been? Five years? He’s finally appeared!”
Tianming’s appearance had caused excitement to spread through the ten thousand nova source worlds of the Mysterium Cluster. Many entered their wondersky realms to watch the return of their cluster’s number-one genius.
“Where’s he been all these years?”
Many couldn’t wait to see his performance.
Bai Feng of the skypiercer-class world Whitechalk, whom Tianming had once formed a team with, was one of the more excited people.
The youths of the three Skyway Stars, including those from Team Celestial Beings, all rushed to the wondersky realm as if they had encountered a great enemy.
“Grandfather said my dad died to him years ago. If so, now he’s….” Crimsonjade Long’s blood-red face shone with hatred. His father, Crimsonjade Qiang, had been the Mysterium Cluster’s top genius as a precentennial sovereign. Crimsonjade Long couldn’t imagine that, in a sixth-level nova source world—Ebonia—the top genius under a hundred years of age, Shenxi Shang, was a fourth-level orderan!
Everyone paid attention.
“He’s started!”
“Saintless City isn’t a good place to see his strength.”
“Our elders are afraid of embarrassing themselves, so they shut off their feed. This Li Tianming sure is brave and confident!”
“He’s been my idol since years ago. I hope he doesn’t let us down today.”
Had the number one genius fallen behind? The Mysterium Cluster’s top experts all knew that challengers who entered Saintless City were at least fourth-level stellaminors.
“Is he fourth-level? Maybe fifth? Or even... sixth?”
“Seventh should be impossible.”
“Let’s watch and find out!”
