Chapter 1628 - Whitemoon Swordsource Purgatory

If a divine astralship of our cluster goes to your star one day, you'll come to understand the difference between a superior lifeform and backwater bumpkins like you, Xiao thought. He suddenly accelerated with sword in hand, turning into a white blur. Despite losing his ability to transform as a specter, his speed and agility wouldn’t be matched by a normal person.

The sword rapidly moved, executing Whitemoon Swordsource Purgatory. It was among the more powerful battle arts he knew, and no doubt, it was fitting to strike fear into Tianming with. The moment the blade struck, boundless astralforce came surging out and concentrated at the tip into a beam of white moonlight that began splitting into many more beams, covering the entire battlefield with white sword ki strands. Like a purgatory of swords, it was completely airtight. A huge moon formed from a sea of white sword ki began closing in on Tianming. Without the numerical advantage, specters were more powerful in single combat against totemancers and beastmasters. People fully expected that Tianming would be eradicated in an instant.

"Make sure you ask your seniors about some basic knowledge first before you decide to embarrass yourself like this again," Xiao coldly said.

Tianming was completely expressionless within the Whitemoon Swordsource Purgatory. Since the battle had started, he stopped messing around. He manifested both Grand-Orient Swords, causing terrifying sword ki to emanate from his body and spread to the swords. He had now absorbed the entire Frozen Glasstree, forming a perfect Frostglass Swordbody. The sword ki around him caused the surrounding temperature to dip and a fatal frost to surround Xiao. Then, he used Fienddragon, Blood Transience!

"Die!" Tianming's countenance completely changed from that of a foolish junior to a slaughterer. His swords were swung with great bravado. His Frostglass Body, combined with Blood Transience, made him seem even more threatening, despite not having any of his totems with him.

The sword ki from the move fused with that of the Frozen Glasstree, creating a frost-like transient dragon that embodied the contradictory aspects of frost and flare. Instantly, a hole appeared in the sword ki manifestation of the Whitemoon Swordsource Purgatory, out of which a beam shot toward Xiao. It was far too powerful that it tore through the white moon sword ki like cotton, completely exposing the specter. Even though he had no facial features and had no expression to be read, Tianming could tell that his smooth face was quite significantly contorted.

"Too bad for you." Tianming smirked as the sword ki slammed into Xiao.

Panicking, Xiao immediately tried to block with his sword, rapidly striking back and barely able to hold back Blood Transience. Even so, the sword ki from the Frozen Glasstree had still damaged his jade body, leaving a lot of chips and scratches and even completely freezing up one of his arms and half a shoulder. He slammed into the ground and groaned in pain, causing his frozen arm and shoulder to smash into smithereens. Even though it was just his caelum, it still hurt quite a lot.

"You're still alive after all that?" Tianming was quite surprised to see that, but it soon made sense. It appeared that the wondersky realm determined that specters had a strong life force, so Xiao had survived on a technicality despite losing a sizable portion of his body. They were known to have survived such wounds, after all.

"You're a decent one, I'll give you that," Xiao said with a low growl as he struggled to stand up, turning his featureless face toward Tianming and visibly radiating anger. "However, you're obviously a few times my age. Stop pretending and preying on the young. What’s the point of that?"

Xiao felt totally embarrassed. Tianming's naive act had made him assume that he wasn't that old to begin with, yet there could only be one explanation for his explosive display of strength: he was faking his age! He felt cheated, and the spectators from his world raged.

"What a shameless fellow!"

"With how many stupid questions he asked, I thought he really was a newcomer to the Tranquil Battlefield! He must’ve lingered here for ages!"

"What a fool. To think that someone who's been here so long can be so ignorant as to dare to offend us mysterians.... Doesn't he fear the consequences?"

The Mysterium Cluster didn't just reign supreme in the wondersky realm, they were actually influential in the real astralscape. They were angry and felt cheated, but the Violetglorians knew that there was no deceit in Tianming's actions at all. He truly was a newcomer to the scene!

Even though Tianming couldn't see it, he knew that this would cause even more waves out in the real world. Looking at Xiao, he put his swords on his shoulders and said, "You sound so sure. What if you're wrong? What if I'm in the same age range as you are?"

"How dare you mess with me! I’ll remember your name and origin—you’d better go back and ask your seniors what kind of mistake you've made today." Xiao stood up, exuding even more threat than before despite the loss of an arm. He was surrounded in a white fog as his jade body brightly glowed. "Do you think faceless specters are pushovers?" They were ultimate lifeforms in the astralscape of order! All fell before them! His body immediately began changing. Clearly, he had used an ability he had suppressed. Tianming saw his face rapidly change as two slits appeared where his eyes would be. Then the spot where a mouth should be cracked open and changed color. A nose and ears appeared, along with eyebrows. The faceless specter had gained a face.
