Chapter 3975 - Mushan Xue
Tianming recalled something and turned to ask, "What's your name, Big Sister? I'm Lin Feng." He had been so used to using the alias that it came as second nature.
"Mushan Xue of the Mushan Clan," the girl in black said.
Tianming hadn't heard of a clan by that name before, but didn't overthink it since time was in short supply. As he wasn't worried about her watching, he jumped straight to work. First, he collected all the spatial rings that had been scattered all over the place after the wonderians were reduced to essence form. From a cursory look, he saw that the elite wonderians from Saturatia-49 carried many top-tier treasures, both from the Upper Star Ruin and the Ancient Flameyellow Ruins.
There were countless imperial-class manna, ancestral fruits, and other cosmic artifacts. Among them, the one thing that caught Tianming's eye the most was Shiming Yisheng's cosmic relic. Much to his delight, Shiming Yishshi also had a cosmic relic longsword. The two could be used in tandem or on their own, like the Grand-Orient Sword, though they were two swords that could fuse into one rather than one sword that could split into two. But functionally, there was no difference.
"Don't touch them!" the two wonderian essences cried as Tianming picked the cosmic relics up. Their voices were filled with harrowing despair.
"Why can't I? Are these the symbols of your love or something?" The sword in his left hand was Shiming Yisheng's. It looked like astral rock and had an incredibly elegant appearance, as if it was a work of art. Its countless starlike sparkles made it even more precious. The other sword looked like pink astral jade and had a similar shape to the white one, only slightly thinner and smaller. It gave off the impression of a pink galactic river, pure and filled with love.
"Trilife Affection...." From the name of the sword alone, one could tell why wonderians liked them so much. They were the perfect weapons to symbolize love and unity, allowing them to fight well side-by-side. The white sword represented pure love and protection, while the pink one represented pure intention and warmth.
"Cosmic relics have artifact souls from cosmic godbeasts, and complete ones at that." Tianming sent his caelum into the swords to seek out their artifact souls.
"Stop! Those swords are ours!" the two shouted once more as they witnessed Tianming destroy the symbol of their love.
"Shut up. You'll die soon enough, so why do you care?" Tianming wanted to claim the cosmic relics and use them to hack away at their former owners’ cosmic god essences; the maniverse-class Grand-Orient Sword simply wasn't able to keep up. He eventually found the artifact souls of the swords while the pitiful wonderians watched. Yin Chen kept an eye on the surroundings for him.
"Huh, a pair of mandarin ducks...." It was the first time Tianming had seen artifact souls like those. They were by no means normal mandarin ducks that lived in lakes. Instead, the two lived in the galactic ocean. They seemed to carry an ancient, primal aura that suggested an origin beyond the Upper Star Ruin. In fact, they seemed more like beasts of the Ancestral World!
