Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2507 - Sandstorm Heart

The seventeenth city was much larger than Darkfiend City. In fact, it was less like a city and more like a continent. The land was boundless and the sky was dark. Ruins were everywhere, broken eaves and shattered walls as far as the eye could see. Before Tianming was a violent sandstorm. The gravel was extremely sharp and met the standards of top grade ores. Although the pieces had no divine ordered patterns, they were as hard as grade eight or nine divine ores. The storm formed of innumerable grains of sand and gravel would definitely be a meat grinder in any helical- or skypiercer-class world. Millions would be killed if this storm were to sweep across such worlds. Only those above the Stellaminoris stage could withstand, move around, and fight in this sort of storm. In fact, those who had yet to enter the seventh astral phase and achieve heaven-unity resonance wouldn’t be able to stay for long. Of course, Tianming could remain due to his physical fitness.

"It's a pity that the effect of the Order Relic can’t be scanned and reflected in the wondersky realm. Otherwise, I’d be able to move more freely in the city."

Along with the absence of Lan Huang, Xian Xian, Yin Chen, and Ji Ji, the effect of the Order Relic Universal Body couldn’t be reflected. Thus, Tianming wasn’t as strong as he had been when he fought Lin Yixuan. Fortunately, he had his decapath era godswords. The challenge in Sandblast City was to obtain ten sandstorm hearts. Everything in the wondersky realm was a simulation, including those. At the moment, he already had nine of them fused with his own heart, so he had a certain degree of control over the terrifying sandstorm. But he would have nothing as soon as he left Sandblast City and returned to the real world.

For Tianming, the Skydome Battlefield that the people of the Skydome Mundus seemed to enjoy wasn’t that interesting at all, unless he could meet a worthy opponent. And he did! All he needed to pass this city was one more sandstorm heart and he could enter the eighteenth city. He was one step closer to Voidback City. And as a result of passing ten cities in a row, he had made a new breakthrough in understanding the Grandvoid Compendium.

"Sure enough, sword cultivation requires actual combat!"

Tianming looked past the wind and sand, staring at his latest opponent, who had appeared in the violent storm: the hallowed shamaness of the second largest clan in the Skydome Mundus, the sacred shamans. Her file was public, so Tianming could see that she had cultivated for more than a hundred and sixty years and was considered one of the Skydome Mundus’ infinitum-class geniuses. From what he read, she was as talented as ebons that possessed taixi souls. It was an amazing feat for a sixth-level nova source world. Aside from Tianming, top geniuses of her age from Ebonia had accomplished about just as much.

"So she’s the most gifted totemancer in both the Skydome and Infinitum Mundus."

Although the luxdaemons had produced a rex mundi, they couldn’t compare to sacred shamans. Before the rise of the divine wonderians, sacred shamans had dominated the Skydome Mundus and were almost as illustrious as the ebons in Ebonia. In fact, the divine wonderians didn’t have a long history.

Thus, this opponent would be very challenging. Her name was Fu Yan and it was by coincidence that she appeared here. She hadn’t paid much attention at first, but was stunned after noticing Tianming's age.

"Skyway Monostar? So he’s from a deific-class world. How did you enter this city at your age? Is there an error in the heavenly locus formation?" She didn't believe it. She had always been the youngest person in the seventeenth city. Among the divine wonderians and others her age, she was unmatched. No matter how strong the divine wonderians were, it was impossible for them to dominate in every age group.

Crossing the sandstorm, Fu Yan appeared before Tianming. She wore a silver headdress that was covered in all kinds of shiny gemstones, and a pleated dress with beautiful patterns. Bright and radiant, yet delicate and adorable, she possessed an exotic flair. In this young lady was the inheritance and fortune of an entire clan. There was no way she wouldn’t be beautiful with her pure bloodline, and her beauty was very distinctive. Tianming thought she was breathtaking, adorned as she was with colorful tassels and jewelry that reflected the light, like a vibrant bird out of the mountains, charming and lively. But because of the nobility engraved in her bones, no matter how lively she appeared, there was an arrogance in her eyes, a sense of superiority over others.

That was something Tianming had as well, but it wasn’t obvious. After all, he had come from nothing and had yet to cultivate such a temperament. In fact, his gold and black eyes appeared more profound. The hallowed shamaness, Fu Yan, took a second look at him because of his majestic air. Otherwise, she couldn’t be bothered to speak to him and would have acted at once.

"I come from Skyway Monostar and there’s no mistake about my age,” Tianming said, raising his head with a grin.

After a period of being accompanied by the wondersky fairy, with its perfect figure and appearance, Fu Yan’s pure and clean beauty felt as refreshing as taking a sip of hot tea after a feast. However, Fu Yan exhibited a strong hostility toward him.

"Stop lying. Deific-class worlds aren’t able to produce astral gods, much less a genius who can enter this city before the age of a hundred. Did you use someone else’s heavenly locus formation and change your age?" Although she appeared playful, she was rather cold due to her status. There was a sense of detachment and aloofness to her, not because she didn’t like smiling, but because Tianming wasn’t worth smiling for.

"You can think whatever you like. Anyway, all I need is your sandstorm heart and I’ll be done with this city,” said Tianming.

Fu Yan's identity was known to the public. Even the elders and seniors in Sandblast City were extremely respectful to her. And from Tianming’s words alone, it was clear that he didn’t take her seriously, yet she garnered the most attention in the Skydome Battlefield. At this moment, those watching her performance focused on Tianming instead, especially the people of Skydome Wondrium.

"Oh." Fu Yan arched her eyebrows, lightly chuckling. The raised corners of her lips seemed to portray disdain for his overconfidence.

"Fine. I’d like to see just what gives you the courage to be so insolent."
