Chapter 607: 607

A commotion was heard from the audience high above the Dimensional Battlefield when Gu Shaoyu’s head rolled . He had made some name for himself .

“He must be quite daring to kill right at the start of the faction battle . “

“Who is it? I saw his sword split in two . Is it some kind of tribulation artifact?”

“We can’t see the tribulation patterns, but it definitely has more than one, given that it even shattered the Unparalleled Slasher . “

“How can a mere empyrean saint have a tribulation artifact with more than two tribulation patterns?”

They couldn’t tell that Tianming was just a sky saint from afar, for auras could only be discerned from up close . This battle had drawn quite a lot of attention from the rest .

However, that level of power still didn’t warrant any attention from the disciples in the Earth and Heaven Branches . As for his Hexapath Samsara Sword, none of them had actually seen it in action before . Not even Jian Wuyi could tell for sure whether that was the first strike of the strongest sword art on the continent .

The show was only beginning .

. . . . . .

In a dark corner was the white-clad Xuanyuan Yuheng . He had his back against the wall as he opened his third eye and spotted the white-haired youth in the illusory formation . “It seems like he’s trying to cause trouble for my faction, Muxue . “

There was a girl standing behind him . Her dress fluttered elegantly, highlighting her beauty . She seemed to be eighteen years of age, but her gaze was as enchanting as a mature lady’s . Her finely chiseled nose and the dimples at her cheeks were only further highlighted from the light that reflected off the sparkling snow . She also had a third eye between her brows, but it was icy blue . It was as if a stare from that eye was enough to freeze someone’s soul .

“Big Brother Yuheng, is he the one Her Eminence brought back?” Xuanyuan Muxue asked .

“Yes . “

“A sky saint?”

“He was when I first saw him . He’s probably an empyrean saint now . “

“How can he defeat a fifth-level empyrean saint if he only just broke through?”

“I don’t know, but he surely has some special quality since he’s so valued by Her Eminence . “

“That makes sense . But if he’s only an empyrean saint at his age, he seems a little weak . That means his parents weren’t at the Samsara stage when they gave birth to him . He probably started training at the Beast Vein stage . Without talented parents, there’s practically no way for children to change their fates . “

“We’ll see . ” Xuanyuan Yuheng’s golden third eye seemed to strike fear in others . That was part of the reason why nobody else was around them . Nobody dared to disturb those two, the highest ranked disciples in the faction .

“Big Brother Yuheng, do you dislike him because he is valued by Her Eminence?” she gently asked .

“You can’t put it that way . I’m just skeptical about his potential for growth . Not to mention, I don’t like how rambunctious he is . Her Eminence is too sacred and doesn’t know the ways of lowly people . I am simply afraid that he’ll besmirch the name of our sect and sway others in devious ways using Her Eminence’s name . “

“Brother Yuheng, you’ve been with the Godservant Hall Lord since your youth to protect the divine blood . Your shock after seeing Her Eminence can’t be helped, since she’s the object of your faith,” Xuanyuan Muxue said .

“That’s right . Her Eminence isn’t in a good position right now . We have lots of trouble ahead of us . Before meeting Her Eminence, I thought that you were the prettiest, Muxue . “

“There’s no way I can compete with Her Eminence . She’s the one you’ve been idolizing since your childhood, so you should know better . “

“But in the end, an idol of worship definitely deserves it . Only after seeing her did I know that kind of goddess existed . . . . “

“Brother Yuheng, you should watch your words . ” Her expression was cold as ice . Though she was young, she was known in the sect for her cold ruthlessness .

“That’s right . To be honest, you should get your brother to stop hanging around the Human Branch after the faction battles . It’s a waste of his time . So what if he’s the faction lord of a hundred thousand disciples? Can a hundred thousand pieces of trash match up to a samsaran?” Xuanyuan Yuheng said with discontent .

“Well, all people have their own places and roles to play . If he joins the Archaion Army in the future, our house will promote him to general and prepare him for the battlefield . We need excellent leaders on top of powerful elites to keep the divine realm stable, after all . “

“Guess we’ll have to see how he performs in the faction battles . You’re right, everyone has their own role to play . “

After a period of silence, Xuanyuan Muxue said, “Brother Yuheng, the Deepstar Pool of the Old Deepstar Path will open soon . I’d like to fight for the opportunity . “

“Is there anyone that can compete with your talent?”

“Most of them are older than me . “

“Then do your best . It’s said that one can form the strongest empyrean gold body within the pool . I hope you’ll be able to gather thousands of stars in your body one day . “

“I will do my best . “

“The body-refining technique using the pool will be really painful . You’d better be prepared . ” He reminisced and smiled confidently . “The more pain you can take, the better off you’ll be . “

. . . . . .

Tianming didn’t actually leave after his previous encounter . He kept the Grand-Orient Sword away and used the razor-thin Brightnight instead as he dashed across the snowy ground . There was a black cat zipping across the ground with him while a colorful flaming phoenix perched on his head . Lan Huang alone had returned to the lifebound space, because of its size, and was playing with the fourth egg . Lately, they had fallen in love with hide and seek . One time, the egg had hidden on Lan Huang’s back the whole day without being spotted .

“You’re too fast . . . . Wait for me,” Lin Xiaoxiao said with ragged breath .

“Go back if you can’t keep up,” Tianming said .

“No!”

“Then stop complaining . ” He streaked across the ground and saw two people ahead of him in the deep valley . “Those are Dragonmight’s scouts . ” With so many of them, it hadn’t taken him long to spot them with his Insightful Eye .

“Are you going to seek them out and kill all their scouts?” she asked .

“Yes . Once their scouts are spread out, they’ll be separated from the main force . We’ll have ten thousand of them to pick out, and won’t have to return to our faction . Instead, we’ll tail the scouts . I want to practice my swordsmanship with all ten thousand of them until they stop sending them out . “

If he could really do that, Dragonmight would be flying blind . He was deeply impressed by the power of the Hexapath Samsara Sword during his previous fight, but he had only executed it in a daze . He wasn’t familiar with the details, so he came up with the method of training the strike against all ten thousand scouts .

I’m also training my Imperial Will while I’m at it . It grew a lot during the battle at the Divine Capital, after all . Even my godfather managed to become an empyrean saint after killing a hundred thousand enemy troops, so why can’t I? His eyes burned with passion as he zeroed in on his target .

“You’re a hell of a weirdo,” Lin Xiaoxiao mused .

“What was that?!”

“Umm . . . nothing . ” She avoided his gaze .

“Watch and learn, young one,” he said as he gave her head a pat .

“Ouch, it hurts!” The moment she looked back up, he was already gone . He charged toward the two scouts with Meow Meow and Ying Huo . No matter how powerful they were, Tianming somehow managed to use Brightnight to overcome them with his new sword art .

“Striking out with the will of all sentient beings with one sword, huh?” It just so happened to fit his Imperial Will, which was related to all life . After all, Omnisentient Will could be converted into Imperial Will . As such, he had a much easier time training the first strike, compared to other arts . It was as if the Mortal Dao Sword was created for him . As for the rest in the series, he had no idea where to start .

Brightnight cut through the wind with an audible whoosh . “Who is it?! Aaaah!” But by the time they noticed him, it was too late . The thin sword was already pointed at their throats before they could react . They immediately placed their Scarletflame Tomes against their chests and surrendered .

Tianming’s strike shifted and knocked them flying . He simply turned and left . “That wasn’t the right move . I have to try again . “

This was only his first step . If it were that easy, he would have learned much more than just the first strike .

“Six cycles of reincarnation, Six realms of rebirth . . . . The human realm is the realm of mortal dust . ” Now, he was a training demon who thought of nothing but the sword . “Next one . To crush ten thousand people, I have to take on a thousand per day, meaning five hundred pairs . “

With there being so many others still on the battlefield, he didn’t really have to rely on his Insightful Eye . There were opponents no matter which direction he went . Now that he could even kill Gu Shaoyu, few others could take him on . Thus began his swordsmanship-honing journey .

He dragged Lin Xiaoxiao along and kept appearing around Dragonmight’s main force . Soon, two more Scarletflame Tomes were ignited .

“No, this isn’t right either! That’s not how it felt when I fought Gu Shaoyu!”

Like a ghost, he haunted the battlefield and scared the living piss out of everyone he encountered . While there were other disciples that also defeated Dragonmight’s scouts, they weren’t nearly as fast, as they neither had the Insightful Eye nor did they dare to go too far . Though, Tianming’s third eye was only a small help . He mainly relied on his power to take out the scouts .

“Xuanyuan Xixi and Gu Qingyin?” he muttered when he finally found the next group . That evening, he had crushed more than five hundred scout pairs, killing five in the process who had wanted to fight him to the death . They didn’t even bear a grudge against him and only knew what he looked like, but that hadn’t earned them Tianming’s mercy and he killed them all the same .

Gu Qingyin was the acting chief of the Greenmaple Chapter, as well as one of the scouts . While Xuanyuan Xixi wasn’t part of Greenvoid Hall, she was probably working with him in a pair .

“Li Tianming, you have to die today! I’ll crush your bones to ash and scatter them! You won’t even have a burial! I will avenge my sister!” Gu Qingyin raged on like a mad demon, despite being only a fifteen-year-old youth .
