Chapter 2184 - Artistic and Berserker Style

“No need to be polite, junior. There’s no need to praise me for my looks. It’s a well-known fact, and facts don’t need to be repeated.”

Tianming shook with laughter. “Is that your preset recording? Who praised you as handsome?”

“Alright, I can see your sincerity. Your looks are probably only a hundredth as good as mine, but they’re still decent in your generation. Since that’s the case, I can show you a move or two. Watch!” Grandvoid Swordfiend said.

Tianming was speechless. Such words were only a competition in whose skin was thicker. He stowed the recording away. Just watching it was poison for his eyes.

“The Xiaozhi Sword Art it is then.” Tianming activated the other stele.

A white mist began to spread throughout the hall, casting a dreamlike veil over it. In the next instant, a celestial beauty in a white dress wearing an icy expression appeared before him, wielding a sword that seemed to have a blade of white jade. Her mist-filled eyes had a characteristic haze.

“So pretty…”

Lin Xiaozhi was simply the Jiang Feiling of that era. Furthermore, her identity as an expert and rex mundi gave her a lofty and holy air, which made Tianming retract his casual smile and turn solemn. He quickly bowed. “Disciple Lin Feng greets ancestor.”

“Time to practice the sword,” Lin Xiaozhi said.

The two ancestors were such polar opposites that Tianming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. One was like a hooligan while the other was a young goddess!

The Unisword Goddess was the type that didn’t waste words. She didn’t even look at Tianming and all her attention was on her sword. She gave a light explanation, then raised her sword and light stabbed forward.

Tianming watched as space began to distort and ripple. The ripples then abruptly contracted as if space was solidifying. The sword tip met the solidified space, which directly shattered into fragments on impact.

That kind of destruction was very strange. After being broken, a pitch-black void appeared. It was like blowing a hole in water, though, and new water would quickly fill in the gap. Thus, the damage done to space would quickly recover. However, that didn’t hold true for anything in that region of destroyed space, including human bodies! If they couldn’t resist the collapsing space, they would be shredded into nothing.

“What a fierce and fast sword!” Tianming felt a chill. The attack had seemed simple, but it was actually the apex of killing moves. He could easily see that the Unisword Goddess had more killing intent than the Grandvoid Swordfiend, her gaze filled with disdain toward everything.

“This ancestor really is amazing….” The stab had been a simple forward motion, but the target would feel a pressure from all directions as the region of space would compress toward the sword’s tip. “I don’t have any Order, so I can’t use the true power of the Unisword Singularity. However, even if I just copy the motion, it’ll still be stronger than Mirage Starslaughter!” Tianming suddenly had a flash of inspiration that sent excitement coursing through him.

“Right! Lin Xiaogui said that the Grandvoid Compendium and Xiaozhi Sword Art could work together. If I multitask and use the two sword arts at the same time, will I be able to accomplish something like the wonderians? No one in history has ever been able to use space and time together. If I succeed, won’t I be able to increase the upper limit of these sword arts?” Tianming was full of anticipation. The upper limit of the sword arts was already two reges mundi! Going beyond that.…

Tianming had confidence in himself. “Let’s do both together then.”

After viewing the Unisword Singularity, Tianming viewed the Delayed Capture again. “Mhm, it does have a very artistic style.”

The profundity of the attack was exquisite, with the ancestor’s control over time so fine that he was like a fish in the water. When he brandished his sword, he was like an artist at work. The trajectory and movements of Delayed Capture seemed slow, but it could also change within an instant, such as when the sword’s tip immediately arrived before Tianming.

In contrast, the Unisword Goddess was of the berserker style. Her attack was direct and explosive, simply deciding life and death with one attack.

The two different styles had grasped the power of time and space and accomplished unfathomable effects. It was no wonder they were in love. Those who complemented what the other lacked would easily arouse the other’s interest. When they had been together, it must have been a match made in heaven.

“How tragic. Others use their swords in tandem in a passionate romance while I use my left and right arms. Ignoring whether or not I can actually do it, let me arrange it first. My right hand will hold the golden Grand-Orient Sword. I’ll use the Grandvoid Compendium and focus on agility and unpredictability with that hand. My left hand will hold the black Grand-Orient Sword. That one will use the Xiaozhi Sword Art and focus on killing and destructive power!” If it could really play out like how he was imagining, Tianming dared to claim that the combined sword art would be one of his foundations for fighting above his level.

“The only issue is that the Lin Clan doesn’t have totems, so their sword arts don’t have sections to use totems for. I can only use my totem swords to mechanically copy the sword arts. There will be power, yes, but it’ll reduce the profundity and skill.” He was aware that even the beginner parts of the two sword arts would take a long time. Hence, he calmed himself down and split the Grand-Orient Sword into two. One sword in each hand, he began going through the stances.

However, as the seniors started going through the techniques, meanings, and construction of the sword arts, Tianming was rendered mute. It was like another language to him! If it was a sword art related to his Imperial or Lifesbane paths, Tianming would be able to somewhat understand it even if it needed Order to use. That would apply for Ying Huo’s flames as well, or the rest’s lightning, mountainsea, plant, metal, and so on, thanks to his symbiotic connection with them.

But spacetime? The only things he could rely on were his two totem swords.

“This is too profound. I don’t get it.” Tianming frowned. He could only dumbly stare as two ancestors, one man and one woman, one black and one white, continued to perform, explain to, and guide him.
