Chapter 2790 - Qi Hao and Jin Zichuan


Tianming had used over a dozen grade-two order fragments, but saw little change. However, they were the foundation for future progress. As soon as the grade-three order fragments entered his body, they were pulled toward his orders and swallowed.


Order fragments were divine artifacts that came from the Sea of Order, like fragments of the sea of universal laws. They were the “official” panacea for growth and progress. Although Tianming had absorbed and refined them, he knew nothing about them.


Natives of the Xenoabyss didn’t consume order fragments continuously or extensively. Without comprehension and enlightenment, progress from consecutively absorbing order fragments would result in “hollow” orders. The impact of one’s cosm.o.f.orce would be diminished compared to others at the same level. That kind of hollow transformation would always exist and be a shortcoming. Therefore, both natives of the Xenoabyss and outworlders would avoid it.


"I already have the fundamentals down and I’ve laid a stable foundation. My six self-generated orders can fully absorb and refine the order fragments, so there’s no problem for the time being."


Although he sensed that his orders were stable, he had a gut feeling that such growth would do more harm than good if he continued absorbing order fragments. He was flexible enough to adapt to the circ.u.mstances.


"Now that time is of the essence, getting stronger is my prime concern. Once I’m strong enough, I can take my time." He would push forward when the situation demanded it and be steady when stability was required.


The grade-three order fragments were broken down into the power of laws, merging with his orders. His orders resided in all seven of his heptastar organs, which was very rare. Most people wouldn’t think of it as a blessing, because it meant slow progress and a lower cultivation level compared to others.


Tianming desperately needed order fragments! His brain, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and seventh astral organ shone, flas.h.i.+ng in concert and becoming one. They formed a cage of order that restrained and contained the cosm.o.f.orce within him, his totems, and even the cosmic impulses in his weapon.


After absorbing the grade-three order fragments, Tianming"s order reached another critical point. He was on the brink of reaching the tenth astral phase, spirit cosmos eye.


His lifesbane order resided in his brain. A cosmic spirit eye appeared around the white hexagon, which was now the pupil in the center. The cosmic spirit eye—or the eye of the vita—could greatly enhance the power of the soul and was the foundation for cultivating the sixth cosmic soul. Most of his opponents had a sixth cosmic soul. With their advanced soul power, natives of the Xenoabyss could easily kill Tianming if he wasn’t protected by the Skysoul Tower.


"Tenth astral phase, done!"


Xeno source flooded his body and entered his primordial lungs. Transformed by his infernal heart, the xeno source coursed through his veins and finally took effect in his genesis spleen, radix liver, and steel kidneys. The power of the Grand-Orient Vortex and genesis ancestral nova source rose, even without Ji Ji around. A strong power swept through his body.


"When I first arrived on Ebonia, the tenth astral phase was a distant dream to me." In just twenty years, he had formed his cosmic spirit eye and was also strong enough to take on a fourth-level cosmic cartographer.


?


"In the Infinitum Mundus, fourth-level cosmic cartographers are experts at the top of the reges mundi ranking. But I’d be even stronger on the Sun... maybe even as strong as a council member?"


That was what excited him most. Everything seemed to happen so fast, and it felt like only yesterday he was still far away from those in his grandfather"s generation. But today, he had surpa.s.sed Lin Lingxiao and left him far behind. With the Sun and his Omnisentient Threads, his combat power could rival apex-level experts in the Infinitum Mundus. In fact, he was stronger than many clan heads on Ebonia.


Tianming sighed. He would have been more excited if Zi Zhen were safe and sound, but she was still the same. Although she had calmed down a little, she was still like a wounded, frenzied beast, caged in the Ninefold Blitzh.e.l.l.


Tianming looked toward the Bloodtower Cult.


"There’s thousands of people in the Bloodtower Cult, most of whom are astral G.o.ds. And among them are more than a hundred cosmic cartographers. Their second-in-command and top expert is a bloodcamel, while the fourth-in-command, Jin Zichuan, is an antiquitean. They’re both seventh-level cosmic cartographers. There’s also five sixth-level cosmic cartographer elders, and the rest are at least third-level cosmic cartographers!"


Tianming was still too weak compared to the Bloodtower Cult.


"If only I could use the power of Omnisentient Threads here, then I could kill as I please!" It was a pity that was impossible in the Xenoabyss, unless he had believers here.


Qi Hao and Jin Zichuan were still waiting for the bounty to go up. Three hundred million soulstones wasn’t enough to tempt them, because they had a gut feeling that they could get much more. At the moment, all their energy was spent on trying to capture Elder Bloodtower.


The two imprisoned Elder Bloodtower’s family, as well as incessantly tortured and humiliated them, all so he would come forward and hand over the Bloodtower Cult’s treasures. Although his family had almost been tormented to the point of madness, there was no way Elder Bloodtower would appear. Members of the Bloodtower Cult were all ruthless. Tianming couldn’t stand by idly and watch, but he was powerless. Qi Hao and Jin Zichuan were despicable.


"Yin Chen, continue looking for opportunities. I might need grade-four order fragments." He experienced the drawback of these order fragments, that is, he was no longer as sensitive to the effects of order fragments of the same grade and required higher grade ones.


"How can... it be... so easy! There aren’t... so many... people with... xeno fatigue!" Yin Chen complained.


In fact, there were many people afflicted with xeno fatigue, but few like Elder Bloodtower, who had great wealth in his hands and had been forced to flee after being afflicted. For a successful harvest, such conditions must be met. There were many forces like the Bloodtower Cult within the Ninth District, yet Elder Bloodtower was the only one recently plagued with xeno fatigue and completely isolated.


"The key is that a grade-three order fragment costs over a billion soulstones. A grade-four one must cost five, or even ten billion, but one won’t be enough for a breakthrough! So my next prey must be a big, fat sheep that’s more powerful than Elder Bloodtower, and such targets are even harder to come by!"


The truth was, they were impossible to come by!
