Chapter 2989 - Ascension of Tianming
Xiaoxiao didn't know if Tianming would survive, and was still tense and tearful for him. She racked her brains but couldn't figure out why the terrifying thing that emerged from Yi Daiyan would ignore him and come to her instead. Her eyes trembled with fear.
"A good seedling transformed by an Archaionfiend. You’re more suitable for me than my last physical body," the dark mirror spirit spoke as it crashed into Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao trembled and a black mist appeared over her eyes. Her expression changed. Confusion, struggle, and fear were replaced by calm, determination, darkness, and coldness. Her lips slightly curled and she lowered her head as she familiarized herself with her new body.
"Not bad," she sighed.
"Se... senior." In the lifebound space, the Archaionfiend was stunned for a moment. Its huge body fell to the ground and said, "Elder, I submit to you! I'm willing to serve you!"
"Hmm." 'Xiaoxiao' nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Archaionfiend, do you hate the Sky Plunderers? Tell me."
The Archaionfiend grit its teeth. It wasn't sure, but it instinctively nodded, not daring to nod too much. It said, "From now on, I, Wu You, will serve you, Senior! Whatever Senior wants me to do, I'll do it!"
"That sounds nice," 'Xiaoxiao' chuckled. She moved her body and her entire demeanor underwent an earthshattering change.
"Just eating caeli can lead to progress. Compared to my last physical body, she can progress much faster...." Her gaze had also undergone tremendous changes. People around her dared not approach!
Tianming rushed back and approached 'Xiaoxiao'. "Why are you attacking her? She has nothing to do with you! Come at me!"
"Indeed. There's no grudge, so I'm giving her an opportunity. I'm helping her level up so as not to waste her talent.... What's wrong with that?" 'Xiaoxiao' took three steps and appeared in front of Tianming. She soared into the air and looked down at him, saying, "Also, don't forget who I am to you. Since you've said it, it's a lifelong commitment, so... show some respect to me!"
The pressure of her body pressed down on Tianming, causing him injuries. The many lingering caeli on the battlefield moved toward her and her aura skyrocketed.
"Giving her an opportunity?" Was she telling the truth? Tianming couldn't judge. He couldn't lift his head!
'Xiaoxiao' continued soaring. Tianming exerted all his strength to lift his head. He saw her in the sky, staring at him with black and red eyes. Finally, she said, "I've made a decision. If he doesn't come to me, I have a way to make him pay. I can't be bothered to care about the mundane matters.... I'll leave the Infinitum Mundus to you from now on. The grievances of this life are over. From now on, Yi Daiyan is dead."
In the end, she was still Yi Daiyan. Just like the tenth life's Wei Jing was Wei Jing and the ninth life's Jiang Lingjing was Jiang Lingjing.
"Humph!" Finally, she coldly snorted. With Xiaoxiao's body, she disappeared into the sky, completely vanishing.
"Xiaoxiao!" Tianming shouted in astonishment. But no one responded. There wasn’t even a farewell. At least he had been able to bid farewell to Jiang Feiling. He didn’t even have any forewarning this time, and he didn’t even know if Xiaoxiao was dead or alive!
Yi Daiyan, the dark mirror spirit.... How could he have known? Perhaps she had already instilled some evil impulses into Tianming, so he subconsciously had some similarities to her.
He could only sigh. Xiaoxiao was probably lost to him. The key was that she had left even more mysteriously than Feiling. Feiling could at least be seen, not to mention missed. Xiaoxiao haddisappeared without a trace, and the Yin Chens in space couldn't even see her.
"Is it over?"
Xiaoxiao was probably still alive, but she obviously wouldn't be coming back. As for Yi Daiyan.... Just as the dark mirror spirit had said, the skin she’d been holding onto for so long was already dead. She was lost to the Infinitum Bodhimanda.
The events had been far too mysterious. Tianming never thought about Yi Daiyan in conjunction with the Cyclic Mirror, so he was still confused.
"Mom, Dad, you played a big joke on me.... Obviously, you knew all this from the beginning, so why’d you make me come? Was it really because of Lin Mu's regret? Indeed, the regret of Grandpa and Grandma has been resolved by me...."
Upon careful thought, Yi Daiyan had died and he’d become the strongest in the Infinitum Mundus. All the enemies from Myriadpath Valley and Intrepidus had been crushed! Everything seemed to suggest that it was the ending many people had desired, but the journey had been tumultuous—especially the part involving Yi Daiyan.
Until now, people like Xiaodao, Lin Xiao, Dongshen Yue, and others all looked blank. The only thing they could be sure of was that Tianming hadn’t died, but the details were unknown. They had only vaguely heard Tianming calling someone 'Mom'.
The Sun was dead silent, until Yin Chen finally returned in the form of a fiery comet. Only then did people begin talking again.
"Son?" Wudi's Flameyellow Coffin also descended from the sky and landed next to Tianming. He held Tianming's arm and asked, "You didn't die, right?"
"Do I look like I'm dead?" Tianming stared at him for a good while.
"I don’t think so?" Wudi checked with all seriousness.
Tianming was speechless.
"Yi Daiyan’s dead and you aren’t, so why’re you frowning?" Wudi asked.
"She...." Tianming could be sure that she wouldn't come back. Before leaving, she had said she was leaving the Infinitum Mundus to him!
In any case, although Xiaoxiao also left, she said that she would be my only mother, so she won’t hurt my Xiaoxiao and make me resent her forever! Thinking that, he could only pray for Xiaoxiao.
Another strong desire was quickly ignited and cleared up his mind. He pushed Wudi's hand away and walked away.
"Where are you going?" Wudi asked.
"Ascend! To take control of the Infinitum Mundus and become the rex mundi!" he passionately said.
"Yeah...." Wudi looked at his son's back. Although what Tianming was going to do was reasonable, Wudi felt that his son's impatient and anxious mood was driven by a strong desire!
Everyone watched as Tianming returned to the battlefield.
