Chapter 2211 - The Battle Between Wolves and Tigers
Lin Xiao was once famous because of an exception. In a certain sense, he also had six different lifebound beasts. Although his lifebound beasts were all powerful ancient saber-toothed tigers, they each had different attributes, which was the complete opposite of six beasts of six different species. It meant he would have to control more types of order to reach a full state. In fact, Lin Xiao was most known for his mastery of six different orders—wind, fire, water, earth, lightning, and wood. Aside from being known as the Millenium Second, he went by another sobriquet, the All-Encompassing Swordgod. However, time was merciless. No matter how strong he once was, his brilliance would be forgotten as he approached the gates of death that no one could avoid, not even astral gods.
Tianming was shocked when he saw the six saber-toothed tigers that were much more powerful than Meow Meow. Strong and vigorous, the wind saber-toothed tiger was blue from head to tail, had a pair of wings on its back, and could control storms. Enveloped in flames, the fire saber-toothed tiger had three heads with razor-sharp teeth in each mouth. Similar to Meow Meow’s Regal Chaosfiend, the black and purple lightning saber-toothed tiger was sturdy and fierce. Not only were its teeth sharp, but its claws also resembled daggers.
Lin Xiao’s fierce saber-toothed tigers formed a stark contrast with his own skinny, shriveled body. In fact, he had once been tall and burly, but with age and the pain in his heart, he’d gradually turned into skin and bones.
However, there was something else that was even more shocking.
“Holy shit! The stars in their eyes have formed more than eighty clusters! A cluster is made up of ten thousand stars. Doesn’t that mean they have more than eight hundred thousand stars each?!" Tianming’s own lifebound beasts had just become myriadstar beasts. Were these the cosmic lifebound beasts belonging to cosmic cartographers? Ying Huo had started from one star and only reached ten thousand now that he was half an astral god.
“I didn’t expect to see clusters of ten thousand in the Order and Cosmic Cartographer stages!”
Six saber-toothed tigers, each with more than eight hundred thousand stars! In fact, that wasn’t at all surprising. They were slowly approaching the level of his lifebound beasts in the dream.
“The Grandnorth Dongshen Clan is also known as the Grandnorth Wasteland Bug Clan. Their lifebound beasts are insects. Grandma’s five lifebound beasts are all skeleton broodmothers.…”
While Tianming was engrossed in his thoughts, a violent storm surged and the endless sea beneath Dongshen Yue churned. Cold white bones rapidly spread throughout the Infinitum Swordsea and the black waters turned white in an instant as countless bonebugs filled the sea, turning the battlefield into hell itself.
"That’s terrifying!"
One could differentiate an expert from the rest when they made their move. It’d been a long time since the two elders had fought. But when Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue's lifebound beasts appeared, dominating the battlefield, Lin Bei’s entire team and even Lin Wuyi couldn't help but take a step back. They felt shivers up their spine. She didn’t think Dongshen Yue could still be so intimidating. The scene had the spectators boiling with excitement.
Despite the tremendous pressure they were under, Lin Bei's line was full of fighting spirit. They released their lifebound beasts as well, all of which were basically wolves. Their line was known for their lifebound beasts, the netherfiend wolves. The Swordgod Lin Clan had various lifebound beasts, all of them capable of awakening swordbeast talents. Dozens of enormous wolves formed a pack, far surpassing Lin Xiao in numbers. They were also younger, fiercer, and more aggressive.
"Fight!"
Wielding swords, Lin Bei's team of ten led the pack of netherfiend wolves and charged into battle. The wolves attacked their opponents with their abilities. From that moment on, the entire battlefield was engulfed by a dazzling array of abilities. The scale of these cosmic cartographers’ lifebound beasts’ attacks was a thousand times more intense than anything the spectators had seen in the previous duel. Without the restraints of the Infinitum Bodhimanda, the explosion of such power would instantly reduce the junior spectators into ashes. Tianming's entire field of vision, as well as his Plundering Eye, was engulfed. All he could see was a mighty wave of abilities, all kinds of colors that slammed into the formation around his body. The thunderous rumbling never stopped. He was both amazed and anxious, because he couldn't hear anyone.
"Dammit! I thought that being on the battlefield would give me a better view, but I can’t see shit."
It was normal. After all, this Infinitum Bodhimanda was too small for them. The immense force flooded the boundary, so none of the spectators could see clearly. The entire world was filled with turbulent storms, sword ki, and ear-piercing roars. They were only able to see the figures of the cosmic cartographers and their lifebound beasts when they appeared right in front of their eyes. Although the noise made their hearts pound, none of them could actually witness the finer details of the fight.
Amidst the vortex of sword ki, Tianming prayed for his grandparents. In fact, those their age in any world would be retired and living comfortable lives; their descendants would have picked up the baton and led the family. However, his grandparents had no choice but to join the front lines and use their aging bodies to protect the dignity of the primary line.
“Grandma says their lives would’ve been for nothing if they lose to their opponents after we won." That was the reason Tianming believed in them.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
It was truly an Infinitum Duel. The energy and atmosphere would give anyone an adrenaline rush. In this world of duels, they were excited and thrilled for any fight. For people that worshiped absolute strength, methods involving schemes and tricks were despised and stifled. Tianming, Lin Xiao, and Dongshen Yue could reignite the Swordgod Lin Clan’s faith in them through fighting, and Fifth Branch Master Lin Jie, as well as the rest of the experts from the reformist faction, didn’t want to see that happen. After all, the purpose of the succession override was to suppress Tianming, crush Lin Xiao, and make sure they would never be able to recover instead of handing them a stepping stone to rebuild their prestige. The situation was dangerous for the reformists, but no one could interfere after the start of an Infinitum Duel. The moment their plan had been implemented, none of them could turn back. They could only compete to see who was stronger.
Tianming definitely approved of that kind of culture.
"Fuck them up!!" Even if he couldn't hear or see anything, he stood in the middle of the storm and shouted with all his strength to vent all the frustration he had about everything his grandparents had endured all these years. Father, isn’t this also a way to make up for their regrets?
