Chapter 3819 - I’ll Make an Exception for You
The prince of the sky plunderers was displaying his skills. The locks on the Astral Emperor’s tomb were indeed extremely intricate. However, they failed to pose a true challenge for Tianming. With his dexterous hand moving swiftly and his Plundering Eye perceiving all, he dismantled the barriers with ease. Though he encountered some difficulties, success inevitably came.
"Nice. I only unlocked the seal on one stargate, yet it automatically recognizes me as the inheritor? And now, all nine remaining stargates are open to me?" Tianming was pleasantly surprised.
This astral emperor’s tomb functioned somewhat differently from the Greatsun Suishen Stele. The latter required constant absorption of birds, whereas the astral emperor’s tomb was more "considerate." While its entry requirements were several times stricter, once one gained entry, the tomb no longer presented further challenges.
Moreover, this senior, Yunxing Mo, personally guided Tianming into the sword formation cultivation technique within the Ninefold Hellstar. Inside this black celestial body, countless black sword patterns swirled. Immersed in this sea of sword-based death energy, Tianming listened to the astral emperor’s explanations of the sword arts while his Trisoul Prime helped him comprehend the profound mysteries of this high-imperial-class sword formation.
"The so-called sword formation must contain elements of totemic sword arts. The union of weapon and totem is what defines a sword formation!" Tianming’s caelum roamed within the sea of sword patterns, which resembled countless black celestial dragons. Each streak of sword force carried its own mysteries.
"Unlocking one stargate brings forth the Ninefold Hell Sword Formation." As he delved deeper into its understanding, Tianming couldn’t help but smile. "Totemancers are good at battle techniques. This high-imperial-class technique not only includes a totemic sword art but also has fusion strikes?"
This sort of sword art must have been inspired by the flameyellow divinities.
"In simple terms, the more stargates are unlocked, the stronger the fusion of these maniverse-class stars’ sword intents. When all ten gates are opened, ten stars shine, and the sword sweeps across the universe!" For example, unlocking the first stargate revealed a Ninefold Hellstar, which was actually a condensed form of death-type sword intent. This aligned perfectly with the properties of the actual maniverse-class Ninefold Hellstar in real life.
"I suspect that when the astral emperor created this first sword stance, he must have observed the actual Ninefold Hellstar. He used actual stars as an inspiration to forge a sword art that shatters the stars!" By extension, the sword intents behind the other nine stargates must be closely linked to the properties of their corresponding maniverse-class stars.
"However, the Ninefold Hellstar is a death-type star, similar to Death Imperatoris from the Imperator's Mural. I currently lack the order for it...." Just as Tianming was contemplating whether he could choose a different star, his lifebound space suddenly showed signs of activity.
