Chapter 2094 - Clearing the Tranquil Battlefield
Chapter 2094 - Clearing the Tranquil Battlefield
"Li Tianming came here again."
"Last time, he only said a few words to Crimsonjade Long before leaving."
"I wonder if he will keep taking challenges from now on...."
"There's still nobody under the age of thirty that’s managed to enter the seventh level of the Tranquil Battlefield. I wonder if he can do it."
"Lately, Yanwu Dao, Shenwu Fen, and Crimsonjade Long have been making efforts to reach the seventh level."
Tianming heard the discussions surrounding him the moment he entered. He knew that the mysterians would immediately find out the moment he entered their 'main camp'. I also killed the Wonderhaze Suzerain... I must have antagonized the divine wondersky race too, huh.... Not that he was worried about it, since he couldn't die inside the wondersky realm anyway. He entered the arena without the slightest bit of hesitation. His current abilities had far exceeded their standard, after all, so he would be able to deal with any opponent easily.
"How powerful!""Li Tianming's finally challenging the Tranquil Battlefield once more!"
Before a quarter hour had even passed, news of his return had spread.
"Let's go watch!"
"I heard he's defeating geniuses with a single move...."
"It's like he's facing little children...."
"Is he really that scary?"
The Mysterium Cluster was shaken once more. Many impassioned spectators across the countless astral worlds entered the wondersky realm to watch the battles, with quite a few Violetglorians from the sun doing the same. As a result, his performance also helped his Omnisentient Threads grow in number. Before an hour had even passed, he reached the end of the sixth level. Surprisingly, he ran into three familiar faces.
"Celestial Beings?" Tianming immediately spotted the three when he stepped out of the fog. They were Yanwu Dao of Skyway Monostar, Shenwu Fen of Skyway Bistar, and Crimsonjade Long of Skyway Tristar respectively. The clash between the Violetglorian Celestial Beings and mysterian Celestial Beings had been a historic event, and now they had met each other again.
"You're in the way," Tianming said.
Long knew that his father had died by Tianming's hands, but the deep grudge he held made him lose all reason. He charged at Tianming with his red body of steel. "Die!"
"Too weak." Tianming flicked the middle finger of his left hand out and pushed, turning Long into ash before he arrived.
"Ugh...." Yanwu Dao and Shenwu Fen both blanked out.
"How powerful!"
"But... how could it be possible?"
They already knew about the matter of Skyway Quadstar.
"Get out of my way." Tianming didn't bother wasting words and simply gave them each a middle finger. Despite being geniuses in their own right, they crumbled like a piece of paper.
The masses in the Mysterium Cluster didn't know about Skyway Quadstar, so Tianming was just a genius as far as they were concerned. What had just happened had completely crushed their worldview.
"He's too powerful...."
"It wasn't even that long ago that they first clashed, but now the Celestial Beings didn't even last a minute in front of him!"
"He's a true, unparalleled genius!"
"Li Tianming's a badass!"
The countless people across myriad worlds felt like they were witnessing the birth of a legend. They believed that the Mysterium Cluster was the center of the universe, so Tianming was the most talented genius in the universe in their eyes.
Yet that wasn't what Tianming had come for.
The seventh level and beyond were where geniuses above the age of a hundred shone. The ninth, in particular, was where Crimsonjade Qiang, the precentennial sovereign, had reigned supreme. He had been among the top three figures on the ninth level. After dealing with the Celestial Beings, Tianming stepped into the depths of the valley to enter the seventh level.
"He's chosen to keep challenging!"
"We'll be in for a good show."
"Quick, notify the rest!"
"Oh, the hype!"
The wondersky realm of the Mysterium Cluster grew more and more rowdy, with an ever-increasing number of eyes turning to Tianming. His opponents were nearing the level of sovereigns.
"There's finally something good to watch! He ran into Yanwu Feng, who's about as talented as Yanwu Dao but is thirty years older! He's a twelfth-level solarian too—wait, he's out!"
Before they were even able to review all of Yanwu Feng's stats, Tianming had already crushed him with a single strike. The seventh level of the Tranquil Battlefield wasn't challenging to him in the least. He didn't even have to bring out his weapon and relied entirely on his Fiendsky Arm to slaughter gods and demons.
"He's definitely as powerful as a sovereign!"
"He belongs on the ninth level of the Tranquil Battlefield!"
"But he's not even in his thirties! He's still in the prime of his growth."
More and more people found it hard to believe, but eventually caved. Trillions of people, mysterians and non-mysterians alike, were shocked and awed by this youth that had cleared the seventh and eighth levels of the Tranquil Battlefield without any resistance! Not even two hours had passed, yet he’d already reached the ninth level, and most of that time was spent moving, not fighting!
"The ninth level's test is the Skyreach Stairs. Sovereigns under a hundred years old that ascend it will be able to enter the Skydome Battlefield right away! Li Tianming's charging straight toward it!" The Astraldome was split into three battlefields, namely, the Tranquil, Skydome, and Apex battlefields. Tranquil Battlefield was the spot for geniuses, Skydome Battlefield was the assembly of elites, and few ever made it to the Apex Battlefield! No Violetglorian had ever made it that far, including the many sovereigns of generations past. The highest they had been was the Skydome Battlefield's lower reaches.
Tianming appeared before the Skyreach Stairs, upon which were many other mysterian geniuses under a hundred years old. Crimsonjade Qiang used to be the best among them. Each step of the stairs was filled with pressure, and it only grew the higher one went. Most people had their bodies crushed into dust, including even the faceless specters with tough physiques. Even the likes of Crimsonjade Qiang only came there to challenge the stairs once in a while. As long as two people were on the same step, they would be transported to a battlefield to fight. Only the victor would be allowed to proceed.
"He's getting on!"
"How fierce!"
"Up to now, he hasn't even used his totems or lifebound beasts!"
There were around eighty people on the Skyreach Stairs. In other words, Tianming would have to kill all of these young geniuses to clear it. These people are really making a mountain out of a molehill. If they knew that I was the one that killed the Blood Abyss Wargod and Wonderhaze Suzerain, they'd go insane from fear. He didn't feel any pressure at all on the first few steps he took, and the earlier steps had more people. He had to fight someone with almost every step he took.
"You're Li Tianming! How—" The ones that noticed him all froze up with fear. They mostly had high statuses, so they knew about Skyway Quadstar. But before they could even finish their sentences, the twelfth-level solarians were wiped out by his Skypierce Finger and turned to dust. With every death, the Mysterium Cluster let out a collective gasp of shock!
"There’s a total of a hundred steps to reach the Skydome Battlefield!"
"He's already taken fifty!"
"No, sixty!"
"Seventy now!"
"Still no totems or lifebound beasts!"
"There’s only two people ahead of him, both of whom are precentennial sovereigns! It's Yanwu Hun and Shenwu Meng!"
"Shenwu Meng's gone.... It took only Li Tianming one sword strike!"
"Yanwu Hun is also gone.... A single bird killed all five of his lifebound beasts!"
The spectators' shock didn't manage to catch up to them, as Tianming was far too fast. He didn't waste any time on flair at all, not even giving those young sovereigns a chance to speak and immediately striking. The proud young sovereigns of Skyways Monostar and Bistar were killed with a single strike in front of an audience of countless people!
"Who's next?" Tianming finally let out a smile after all the slaughter. The pride in his smile instantly shut up the entirety of the mysterian race.
"He’s far too brutal!"
"He's completely unmatched!"
The Mysterium Cluster went utterly crazy over him. While the mysterians governed that cluster, they weren't able to stop the other races from going wild.
"He's going to enter the Skydome Battlefield!"
As everyone watched, Tianming took one heavy step after another and finally cleared the Tranquil Battlefield!
