Chapter 2731 - Mountain Shaking Punch
The golden specter seemed to be like Feng, whose size didn't automatically grow in proportion to power. "I wonder if his insane melee capabilities have something to do with him not growing bigger."
Someone like him definitely had astrons and cosmic charts that were tougher than those of normal totemancers or beastmasters, but Tianming's fighting spirit surged after their first clash. This was yet another top-tier enemy for him to take down!
"If you're this powerful, you shouldn't have bothered to hide. We could've fought three-on-three from the start," Tianming said, gripping his swords tight as he looked at the specter before him.
"You're right, but I like to take down my enemies when they have the edge. Then again, I was a little bit late. I didn't think you’d be able to take down a divine wonderian so fast," the youth said with a hoarse, bassy voice. His eyes were filled with the desire to fight. Unlike killers like Lin Ke, Li Fan was a pure warrior who lived for the fight itself.
Fengqing Youyun stepped between them, expanding his divine wonder to cover Tianming once more. He would be going all out, lest he failed the expectations of his kind. Facing foes of this caliber, Tianming got all his beasts to rejoin him.
"I've fought more than fifty million battles in all my life. If your age is real, then you'd be the most talented among all of us. You're qualified to join Myriadpath Valley," Li Fan said.
"Myriadpath Valley?" Tianming was just about to ask what kind of place that was, but they started attacking!
The million stars in Li Fan’s eyes flashed as he launched his abilities, shaking the Skyhold Bridge with their sheer force. His physical body was agile and powerful. In almost an instant, he dashed past Tianming and appeared beside Xian Xian, who was in its dryad form.
"Huh?" Xian Xian had never encountered enemies that’d managed to circle around Tianming to target it. Li Fan's battle senses were incredibly accurate.
Tianming saw two golden cosmic charts behind him, which meant that Li Fan had been a second-level cosmic cartographer when he was five hundred years old and was naturally stronger than Fengqing You and Lin Ke. In other words, he had much more cosmoforce and durability than Tianming, and especially Xian Xian! Tianming would probably only really stand a chance against him alone on the sun.
"Danger!" Right as Tianming's warning got through, the golden specter kicked Xian Xian's branch with such force that its dryad body immediately tore apart and shattered, eliminating it from the battle! The audience wildly cheered for the powerful youth of Myriadpath Valley. Even though they knew that he wasn't from the Skydome Mundus, they nevertheless recouped some of their lost confidence.
Tianming wanted to find an ideal spot, but the ephemeral world wonder was proving to be much more troublesome than the eightpart apparition wonder had. The divine wonder locked on to him and kept generating thousands of layers of illusions, replacing each broken one with a few more. It was a sheer barrage of quantity over quality; it didn't matter that the illusions looked fake, even Tianming's lifebound beasts were completely trapped. While the illusions were basically harmless to them, the monstrous strikes from Li Fan that were interspersed between them were nothing to joke about!
"Save me, Chicken Bro!" Lan Huang cried right before its gigantic body was sent flying off out of Tianming's field of vision. A tiny figure landed ten consecutive punches on its huge body, breaking it into a bloody mess! Without the Greenspark Tower in the wondersky realm, Lan Huang's body was deemed out of commission, leading to its elimination. It would have held on longer in the real world.
Once more, the audience cheered. Tianming, who was trapped in the illusions, was like a helpless, lost fly at the mercy of the wild youth. With Xian Xian and Lan Huang out, Meow Meow and Ying Huo were in trouble. Meow Meow was fast, but not fast enough to avoid the agile monster, who caught it and tore it in half.
"Damn!" Ying Huo fought with its sword-shaped wings, but the enemy's fists broke them apart! The golden specter truly had a hard body. Eventually, Ying Huo was torn into pieces and eliminated, leaving only Yin Chen and Ji Ji. With the rest of them out, Ji Ji returned to its astral form above Tianming, illuminating the entire battlefield with its pink glow.
Yin Chen turned into a stream of galactic swordbugs before shooting toward Li Fan. However, the specter opened his mouth and let out a stream of golden fire that turned into tens of millions of flaming dragons and burnt up many Yin Chens. He basically singlehandedly dispatched almost all of Tianming's Primordial Chaos Beasts while he was still trapped. Naturally, the level difference was a huge factor in the decimation.
Ying Huo and the rest were only seventh-astral orderans, a far cry in comparison to second-level cosmic cartographers. Even so, that didn't cheapen Li Fan's strength at all. He had conquered the hearts of everyone in the Skydome Mundus. It was the first time they'd seen Tianming suffer so much, and they couldn't be more excited about it.
"Big Brother, Spacetime Shadow takes too much out of me. I don’t think I can hold on for much longer," Feiling worriedly said. Lin Ke was no pushover, and Feiling, lacking a cosmic chart, wasn't able to completely take him out.
The situation seemed rather bleak. Only a few Yin Chens and Ji Ji remained, and Perpetia would soon be running out of steam as well. Not to mention, the ephemeral world wonder's area of influence would soon reach Feiling.
Lin Ke laughed in anticipation. He was almost driven insane by the blue threads. "It's almost time, little girl. You've had your fun with me, so it'll be my turn soon, right?"
Tianming didn't have a single moment to be awed. Li Fan was already charging at him with a mountain-shaking punch! Tianming grit his teeth and used his first simulacrum, fusing his totems with his swords. Against a single-target powerhouse like Li Fan, that was the optimal choice. He borrowed the last bits of energy from Perpetia to use the third strikes of the Grandvoid Compendium and Xiaozhi Sword Art once more!
