Chapter 2689 - Three Imperatores
Chapter 2689 – Three Imperatores
“He didn’t leave….” Beibei felt anxious again. She had hoped that he would leave because she’d accepted what she thought would be her fate, but she didn’t want to be a public surrogate, nor did she want her mother to burn to death! The figure before her looked like the only thing that could save her. She prayed that he would be able to take her away from this place as she tightly hugged her mother.
Tianming naturally hadn’t left. Yin Chen had told him that the strongest in the village, the cosmic cartographer chief, wasn’t around. The most he would have to contend with would be an eleventh-astral orderan. Since destiny had brought him to Beibei and her mother, who were kind enough to give him so much information about the Xenoabyss, coupled with the fact that he had hurt Shi Xiao of his own accord, he would take responsibility for his actions.
He turned back, smiled, and said, “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
Those simple words were enough to inspire utmost confidence. At that instant, Tianming immediately got an Omnisentient Thread from an astral god, Beibei. Her eyes glowed like never before, radiating the pure beauty of life itself. The purest and vilest forms of life tended to manifest in the same places. However, people like Shi Xiao wouldn’t let Beibei remain pure for long.
“It’s you!” Shi Xiao immediately recognized him.
“Outworlder, you dare return?!” The fifty-odd villagers were shocked beyond measure.
“Kill him!” Shi Xiao couldn’t endure it any longer. His uncles were all at the eleventh astral phase, while the rest of the villagers were also astral gods, most of them above the sixth astral phase. Many more people in the village were also heading their way after hearing the commotion.
Lan Huang and the rest had huge bodies, so it was like the village had been invaded by fierce beasts; it was a full-alert combat situation for the village. Tuyi, Hetu, and Changhe exchanged glances before taking action, but Shi Xiao had already charged in.
“Everyone, take down that outworlder together!”
“Anyone that stays idle will face the consequences!”
That was enough to get the rest of the villagers to act. With their comrades fighting alongside them, there was nothing to fear. Not to mention, Tianming didn’t seem like a cosmic cartographer, so they didn’t fear him.
Just like that, some fifty astral gods charged at him with their cosmic artifacts. They were all mere villagers, but astral gods all the same! Not to mention, they were hundreds of meters in height. Their steps alone shook the ground beneath them. Tianming seemed like a fly in their presence, albeit one that had terrifying lifebound beasts. In an instant, the decapath era godswords manifested around him along with the Prime Cosmic Rings, growing to quite an impressive size.
“Trying to gang up on me, eh?” Tianming smirked. He knew that there was no way the mother and daughter would be able to live on in this village after all that had happened. Besides, he had been enraged enough by what they were attempting to do, so he wouldn’t hold back, especially now that they were the ones attacking him. As someone who had experienced astral wars, he didn’t even consider this a playground fight. Even then, that didn’t make it any less satisfying!
Lan Huang had been bored to death and immediately spun up its Myriadstar Swordrings before charging at the villagers, tearing them apart. These specters would finally learn the terror of going up against something so many times bigger than them.
Yin Chen, on the other hand, turned into galactic swordbugs before sweeping through the mass of villagers, drawing blood all around. If there was anyone that didn’t fear being ganged up on the most, it would be Tianming.
The Radix World Tree unleashed its abilities, spraying Bloodrain Swords and Demise Greenloti all over the battlefield. Its black roots and Radixsword Leaves were all over the battlefield. While specters indeed had tough hides, Xian Xian had many methods it could use to hold them back.
As for Ying Huo and Meow Meow, they fought within the crowd itself, creating explosion after explosion that nobody could block.
As for the elite fighters of the group, like Shi Xiao and his three uncles, they charged toward Tianming. The three uncles were all at the eleventh astral phase, the peak of the Order stage. Their bloodline capabilities had mostly been unlocked, making them formidable threats. The four of their abilities shot toward Tianming like a giant pillar in the sky.
“Hmph!” He didn’t bother wasting time tangling with them, so he went straight for the kill. First, he blocked the wave of abilities with his Prime Cosmic Rings. Then, all ten of his totems radiated a different kind of power. He seldom unleashed his full power in the corporeal world, let alone in the xenomemory space, but today was a special exception.
Tianming’s lifebound beasts had an easy time dealing with the mob, sending them running off. Ying Huo didn’t hold back in the slightest and constantly went after the meanest-looking specters.
The decapath era godswords shuddered, a sign that Tianming was going to execute a sword art from the Imperator’s Mural. The Grand-Orient Sword danced, unleashing brilliant lightning as it formed a sword formation with the totem swords. The figures of Imperator Carnage, Imperator Carillon, and Imperator Inferno manifested from the flames, metal, and lightning, gathering where the Grand-Orient Sword was for the fusion of three strikes!
“Be honored that you’ll be eradicated by the three imperatores!” Tianming said, his eyes glowing with regal radiance as he charged in to strike. “Begone!”
The sword strikes exploded with the power of metal, fire, and lightning, cutting, obliterating, and burning. The specters of Silverfox Village cowered at the might of the strike. While the four specters put up quite a decent defense and had broken through the Prime Cosmic Rings, they were faced with Tianming’s strongest strike in the next moment.
“What?!” All of them widened their eyes in shock. The strike was so fast and powerful that it only lasted an instant.
“Block!” Tuyi yelled. The three brothers and their nephew used all the abilities they had, making sure to shield Shi Xiao. They had thought that eleventh-astral orderans like them could take it, yet they’d overestimated themselves! The moment they saw the three imperatores within the sword formation, they panicked. “What in the?!”
Even their most powerful moves crumbled before the strike!
