BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2252 - Borderline Genius
As she flew in the air, her light purple skirt burned with golden flames and transformed from a beautiful outfit into a set of armor with protective fish-like scales covered in divine patterns that glowed even more golden. Her sword and armor made her look superior and impressive. Most disciples of the Swordgod Lin Clan couldn\'t possibly rival her in terms of equipment!
Her armor, the Soarstream Skymoon, and her Soarstream Double Yang were both considered the strongest artifacts under the cosmic artifact level. Each of them had ten types of grade-nine divine hazard sword ki strands, which further bolstered the imposing sharpness she exuded. The entire battlefield was drowned in golden sword ki.
The lion, peng, titan, and centipede stood guard in front of her and charged toward Lan Huang and the rest. Then the shark dove into the magma, creating a huge wave in the process. As for the sunflower, it remained rooted to the ground as it stretched its golden, spiked vines across the whole battlefield to form a cage. Heavenly sunflowers were the staple lifebound beasts of the Gold Sunflower Line, with beautiful flowers that boasted tens of millions of sword-like seeds, making them quite a powerful offensive plant lifebound beast. The next instant, the flower shot out a beam of golden light that turned into a golden greatsword and thrust toward Tianming. Its seeds also formed small golden swords that blasted toward Tianming and his beasts!
"These abilities sure are flashy!" Tianming was quite impressed at the quality of the borderline geniuses of the Swordgod Lin Clan, but victory was the only option for him. With Meow Meow not by his side, he was at a disadvantage in the abilities department. Fortunately, Ying Huo and Xian Xian\'s abilities were still rather powerful, and with Ji Ji spiritually attached to them, their powers had been enhanced to the next level and every single ability demonstrated awesome destructive potential.
"The power of order!" Lan Huang and Yin Chen were in the vanguard, facing off against the four gigantic golden beasts, their primordial and immortal orders giving them a huge edge. Even though the golden beasts were tough and nothing to scoff at, all of them shrieked when the power of order suppressed them. Their charge was suddenly put to an abrupt stop and they crashed to the ground!
Ying Huo used its Sixpath Infernal Lotus, shooting six gigantic black-and-crimson flaming loti toward the beasts. While metal wasn\'t weak to fire, Ying Huo\'s flames weren’t the normal kind. They were Infernal Blaze infused with infernal order. The black-and-crimson flames rapidly burned away at their bodies, forcing them to quench the flames with astralforce, but the short time it burned had already considerably charred their bodies.
Then Xian Xian\'s Bloodrain Swords rained down upon them, though to little effect. Instead, its Ghoulface Fiendblossoms spread across the air. When they landed on the beasts, they began sucking them dry.
On the other side, the heavenly sunflower\'s ability was completely unstoppable. The seeds were shot with such power that they could even pierce through Lan Huang!
"Yin Chen!" Tianming yelled.
"Okay okay!" Yin Chen was quite unhappy about being used as a meat shield, but it was the only one that couldn\'t actually die. More than three hundred million of its bodies turned into a sea of silver, becoming metallic centipedes that linked together like a tough weave to form a round, silver shield. The gigantic golden sword of light and tens of millions of tiny sword-seeds crashed against the shield, creating a horrendous metallic sound that drowned out everything else in an instant. Tianming watched as all of those Yin Chens were vaporized by the heavenly sunflower\'s ability.
"Dammit, Fifth lost so many bodies in an instant! The eggs are all busted!" Even so, that had done no permanent damage to the Myriadworld Immortabeast. It also bought valuable time for its allies.
"Charge!" Lan Huang immediately went rolling before it pressed down on the sunflower swordscale lion with one claw and the goldhill titan with the other with its order. Thus, its attack succeeded despite having weaker astralforce.
Yin Chen, on the other hand, controlled its many bodies with amazing tactical prowess. Using four billion of them, it constructed ten gigantic silver centipedes, all of which were the same size as the ninesun toxiforge centipede. They entered a chaotic brawl with the enemy bug. While the ninesun toxiforge centipede had venom, Yin Chen did as well. Not only did it manage to suppress the golden bug, it also sent a billion of its bodies into the magma, turning them into silver crabs that clung to the goldlance fiendshark like barnacles, turning the beast completely silver and increasing its size a few times over.
Xian Xian\'s Radiant Vines countered the vines of the heavenly sunflower, though it was at a disadvantage in that department as its enemy\'s vines were hard as metal, allowing them to easily crush the Radiant Vines and even tear apart its Scarlet Lilies. Seeing that its order didn\'t give it much of an edge, Tianming instructed the other beasts to help Xian Xian out.
Ying Huo had turned into a phoenix and was engaging the goldblade meteor peng. The peng\'s abilities were rather powerful as well, and the two birds were hard to distinguish from one another. While Ying Huo used order to suppress its opponent, the latter used its superior astralforce to fight back.
"Your lifebound beasts are impressive. It\'s a shame that they aren’t swordbeasts." Lin Linglin, enjoying the protection her heavenly sunflower afforded, made her way straight to Tianming. Her magnificent armor turned into invisible rays of light that made her incredibly hard to keep track of. Then the sword-seeds of the sunflower gathered by her side, forming a sea of golden swords that shot toward Tianming. Countless golden vines formed a cage around him to prevent him from evading.
All of a sudden, countless huge, eight-starred ladybugs charged toward the heavenly sunflower. However, the plant wasn\'t to be taken lightly. It shot out many golden leaf-blades and managed to protect itself from the ceaseless ramming of the metallic ladybugs. Nothing could shake the hold of its cage on Tianming! Within it, Tianming had to deal with attacks from the vines, the seeds, and Lin Linglin herself.
"So, what’re you going to use against me?" Right as Lin Linglin said those words, hundreds of millions of silver locusts landed on the cage and began consuming it. No plant could possibly weather an onslaught of locusts, and this was a rare metallic plant, which made the perfect meal for a divine-ore-eating bug like Yin Chen. Even though countless vines and roots tried wiping out the locusts, there were just far too many of them. While the enemy was a living beast and not lifeless divine ore, Tianming allowed Yin Chen to take a few bites out of it.
