YM778.TV Chapter 2563 - The Vile Star Hunters
The flaming rivers sensed the presence of the infernal order. For a moment, they wildly danced in the sky like sixteen resurrected flame divine dragons and let loose a resounding dragon roar that shook the universe. Countless raging fires coalesced into meteors, forming a fiery meteor shower that rained down from the sky, crashing toward Tianming and Ying Huo. Before such sword intent, their caeli appeared extremely insignificant.
"Is that all?" Ying Huo was dismissive when faced with the raging flames that filled the sky, It spread its wings and headed directly toward the wildly dancing divine dragons in the sky. To it, learning battle arts was like a battle! It wanted to conquer these sixteen sword intents! Conquer them, and it would naturally learn.
Tianming\'s thoughts were somewhat different from Ying Huo’s. For some reason, when he brought the infernal order into his caeli, his genesis order had followed as well.
Suddenly, he lifted his head. “Do you see it, Ying Huo?” he asked, surprised.
“See what? It\'s just sixteen worms, not enough to fill my tummy,” Ying Huo arrogantly said.
“Don’t you see the sea of lightning above the rivers of stars?” Tianming asked in a hoarse voice.
“Huh? Is there something wrong with your mind? Your mind is so filthy now that you see heavenly pattern barriers everywhere?” Ying Huo said with derision.
“You really can’t see it?” Tianming could clearly see it. Behind the rivers lay a world formed of a sea of lightning. The two worlds were so close they were almost touching. However, why did the Mural of Inferno have content from the Mural of Carnage, and why couldn’t Ying Huo see it?
“Ying Huo didn’t train in Carnage Imperatoris and it doesn’t have genesis order. Does that mean this Imperator\'s Mural.…” Tianming revealed a gleeful expression. His Ninedragon Tribulation didn’t just have totem sword arts; it had fusion sword strikes. It appeared that totem sword arts and fusion sword strikes were the calling cards of the flameyellow divinities. Why wouldn’t the Imperator\'s Mural have it?
“Which means that for this Mural of Inferno, I don’t just have to learn Inferno Imperatoris, but fire and lightning together.” Lin Xiaodao didn’t know that, as he only knew one sword stance. That was why he had merely judged the sword art as infinitum class. To him, learning more would only increase one’s versatility, not power.
“But if you can fuse strikes, and even nine of them at that….” Nine imperatores of the flameyellow divinities. Tianming had only witnessed Carnage Imperatoris so far. “It’d be absolutely perfect if I could fuse my infernal, genesis, primordial, radix, immortal, and ancestral orders into one attack.”
Alas, he didn’t know what content the other murals had. It was possible the rest wouldn’t fit his orders. “I won’t get ahead of myself—let’s take things step by step. Just learning Carnage Imperatoris alone took so much effort. Who knows how difficult it’ll be to fuse Carnage and Inferno together?” Fusion sword strikes weren’t foreign to Tianming; he had first dipped his toes in them when he’d learned the Shenxiao Sword Art. The Ninedragon Tribulation was also a foundational sword art of the flameyellow divinities as well. Thus, he had a firm foundation which was probably the best in the Infinitum Mundus.
“The Ninedragon Tribulation is the king of sword arts for gods. But it has an upper limit, as it lacks the power of orders. If I could use the Primordial Chaos Beasts’ orders to completely learn these Imperator’s Murals, it’ll probably become the peak of orderan arts. Would it be imperial class then?” The complete Ninedragon Tribulation had a vast gulf from its individual sword strikes.
“Let’s begin.” Tianming deeply inhaled, then used his infernal and genesis orders to guide his caelum to the sky and welcome the sea of lightning and flaming dragons. Lightning and fire were his very first paths, and were the two that suited him the most. His personality was like lightning, swift and decisive, and like fire, overbearing and domineering. That was why it couldn’t be any more suitable for him than to start from those two for the Imperator’s Mural.
Tianming was full of expectations.
……
While Tianming got busy, Feiling didn’t need to spend so much time on her cultivation. Thus, she began researching various formations, from the lowest order formations to the highest astralguard formations, and even fusion formations. And as expected, she was a genius at them.
She had told Tianming that, given a few years, she could even make astralship formations. All formations were made by men’s hands after generations of hard work. Tianming had no time to peer into formations, an art that had changed humanity’s destiny.
Feiling’s learning materials came from the Infinitum Swordsea and Gladeus’ information, as well as some memories from the Lord of Perpetia that she had recalled after practice. Thus, Lin Xiaodao gave her a lot of opportunities to practice.
Now, Xiaoxiao was the only free person in the Gladean Ruins. She just casually went about her cultivation, as happy as could be.
However, the Star Hunters were still an eyesore. Ebonia’s ebons were remaining quiet and Gladeus’ ebons had been neutered, leaving only the Star Hunters to continue making trouble for Lin Xiaodao. He had made concessions to avoid the heliacal-class worlds from being butchered, but the other side wanted a mile after being given an inch.
They sent out even more thieving astralships and stole more and more ownerless nova sources.
“If we weren’t afraid, they couldn’t even take one with Yin Chen around!” Lin Xiaodao was pissed. The Star Hunters had just sent out over a thousand skypiercer-class astralships and probably wouldn’t rest if they didn’t steal a few hundred this time.
It would still be some time before the sun arrived, so both Lin Xiaodao and Tianming were feeling very pent-up. The grudge between Gladeus and the Star Hunters could no longer be peacefully resolved. “It’s those rats again!”
