Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2748 - Xia Words Civilization

Shrinking was achieved through shortening the distances between the astrons. After being compressed, their energy levels would fall in exchange for more agility and speed. As such, they were at a huge disadvantage against Zi Zhen, who didn't have to do any unnecessary compression!

In some ways, one could determine the quality of a specter bloodline based on how small their natural physiques were as they grew stronger. Being bigger wasn’t necessarily good, especially considering they couldn’t even grow as gigantic as Huang Qi.

The three flood dragon brothers attacked at the same time, directing their seven cosmic charts toward Zi Zhen and applying immense pressure on her. Then, a barrage of abilities were shot her way.

Zi Zhen's long hair wildly fluttered, glittering like countless violet meteors shooting through a raging sea toward the three brothers. That was her ability! It was both beautiful and powerful, yet going up against three people caused her to be on the back foot.

Right as she furrowed her brows, even more abilities fired from behind her. Ying Huo and Meow Meow borrowed Ji Ji's power and turned into ruthless fighting machines. Meow Meow, especially, dominated the battlefield with its lightning, its output almost double what Ying Huo was capable of with its Triworld Afterlife Halls, Cosmic Lance, Misty Hellthunder, and so on. All that helped Zi Zhen to regain her edge and advance.

"Follow me!" Zi Zhen took the initiative quite a bit when it came to a real fight. She charged ahead and locked on to her foe with Meow Meow and Ying Huo's abilities backing her up.

She turned back for a second and was relieved to see Tianming following behind her with tens of millions of providence swords. They were from the decapath era godswords' first totemic calamity. A sea of swords shot toward the foes!

"What in the world?!" Blood Dragon had just shrunk his body, only to be beset by an onslaught like that. He raged against the fire and lightning. Without warning, a white chain shot out from nowhere and whacked his arms with full force. The power of the prime wonder crushed all four of his arms, turning them into bloody mist.

"How could an orderan be so powerful?!" His face turned grim as his arms reformed with the help of his cosmic charts. He was completely unharmed, but that attack had still consumed some of his astrons. If it happened enough, his reserves would eventually run out!

"I'll leave the kid to you. If we take him down quick enough, we might be able to use him as a hostage against this sick weakling!" Black Dragon said.

"Alright!" Blood Dragon turned into a bloody beam, circling around as he tried to engage Tianming.

Tianming noticed him before he arrived. "Apologies, I don't intend to fight you one-on-one." He pulled back the Prime Starchain. Then, he relied on his providence swords and the abilities of Meow Meow and Ying Huo to push Blood Dragon back. Finally, he used the rest of his arsenal. "The grand lexicon wonder is designed for large-scale fights like this!"

Many shining Xia words manifested on his skin, hair, and eyes and his aura completely changed to one of a cultured scholar. He channeled cosmoforce into the lexicon within his astrons and the divine patterns glowed to form up to a hundred words. Loud, explosive booms could be heard as the hundred most common words formed around him. Each and every one of them had a different shape, color, and core essence.

"The words that our forebears have invented are used for communication and transferring legacies. Each character contains its own laws! 火 is for flames and looks like a torch. 电 is for all things lightning and electricity, representing a net of lightning in the sky!" That was the impressive part of logographic characters. They themselves represented the heavenly dao, embodying the laws of the universe in their forms.

How could civilization possibly be passed down with any other kind of words? Flames, lightning, and rivers, and many more abstract words like the particles 的 and 了, as well as 'up' (上), 'country' (国), and 'love' (爱).... While they weren't that meaningful or powerful on their own, they hovered around Tianming and expressed their meanings in their own way.

"So far, I can only put them together in a rudimentary way. I'm like a kid in elementary school. With enough practice, I'll be able to write my own sentences and essays! When I learn these hundred thousand words well, tapping into the full potential of an imperial-class wonder, let's see who’ll be able to stop me then."

"Dream on. The most you'll do with these words is come up with cringe pickup lines or trash fanfiction," Ying Huo whispered in his ear.

"Haha.... Boss, are you going to defeat your foes with lame pickup lines?!" Meow Meow said, chuckling as it blasted away.

"Curse you all!" Tianming ignored them and focused on venting on his opponents instead. A hundred gigantic words descended on the battlefield, drawing the attention of the three brothers right away.

"What the hell!?" Black Dragon froze as the word for 'lock' (定), descended on his head. He felt that he was bound by a force similar to order. Even though it was only for the slightest instant, he was completely petrified, allowing Zi Zhen to deliver a harsh kick to his head, completely crushing it and splattering his astral brain all over the place.

"Agh!" he cried as he fell into the walled city created by the word, 'country' (国). Then, Tianming threw 业 and 火 together to form karmic flames of rage and 天 combined with 电 for some celestial lightning. Tens of other words mashed together, grinding Black Dragon into a pulp!

Green Dragon and Blood Dragon weren't faring that well, either. While the words themselves weren't fatal, Tianming's providence swords were. Quite a lot of them pierced through their cosmic charts while they were entangled with the words.

"Aaaagh!"

"What kind of divine wonder is this?!"

"Fucking hell!“

Even so, they were faring far better than their big brother, Black Dragon.

Zi Zhen felt that Tianming’s attack was the ideal opening for her to secure certain victory. "Keep suppressing him! I can finish him!"

Tianming did as he was told. It was the first time he used the grand lexicon wonder, yet it greatly boosted his confidence. "Alright!"

"Kill that white-haired fiend!" Black Dragon roared, causing Green Dragon and Blood Dragon to charge toward Tianming.
