Chapter 1624 - Heaven-ascending Pillar

Every time Tianming entered the Astraldome, the wondersky fairy would make an announcement in his hometown’s wondersky realm. All the cultivators stopped what they were doing and began spectating, appearing as ethereal apparitions above him; they would see what the boundless astralscape had to offer by his side.

The news immediately spread across the whole star, causing even more to flock to the wondersky realm. It was hardly surprising that people were so eager to take part in this event, given that their world was situated in a relative backwater. Most of them yearned to learn more about the outside world. Even though their world alone was already so vast, exploring the depths of the unknown was an inherent part of human nature.

"Ye Chen's still fighting on the second level of the Tranquil Battlefield and only just finished his seventy-third kill. It isn’t that nice to watch."

"Quick, Li Tianming just entered the third level!"

"That pillar filled with eyes is far too weird. Even while we look from here, it feels like our souls are being sucked in."

The wondersky realm was suddenly filled with people. Everywhere, from the Violetglory Pagoda to Perplexity Island, was completely crowded. All of them looked toward the projection in the sky like ducks, not minding how packed it was. Their anticipation was already at its peak, even before Tianming had taken action. It went to show how important someone like Tianming, who was fighting for their glory, was.

"Let's show the myriad races of the astralscape that even we can give birth to a genius like this!"

Everyone was filled with hope. Even those in the Divineglory Dynasty felt nervous about the upcoming match. Regardless of their sect separation, they were also Violetglorians like those on the other side.

......

"Phew..." Tianming lightly breathed out. Looking up, he saw the humongous tower in the middle of the battlefield. Tens of thousands of people could be seen in the distance trying to scale the Myriadeyes Wonder, all of whom were geniuses from their respective nova source worlds. Should they succeed, they would gain honor and prestige in the real world. The gift they would receive from the Astraldome was only a small part of the equation, with the main draw being the status and cultivation resources they would be awarded on their respective worlds.

"As far as I'm aware, they're saying that those from the Mysterium Cluster are the strongest in the Tranquil Battlefield." Tianming flew toward the Myriadeyes Wonder. It was so far away that the distance and scale were hard to judge, and it took him two hours of flying to reach it. The Tranquil Battlefield's third level was so large that it could encompass a few continents. The closer he came, the larger the pillar looked. Each eye on it looked like it was as large as a star.

"I'm finally here." Standing at the pillar and looking up, it looked like a wall that stretched endlessly upward. "It's unbelievably tall!" The pillar seemed to have no end, with the tallest part seemingly far beyond the green fog above. Like waves, the fog kept on undulating and rumbling.

"Let's go!" Tianming started his climb. There was green light beneath his feet as he climbed past the large, green eyes. As he did so, the eyes turned and looked at him as if they were alive. They even seemed to be mocking him.

"I feel affected...." After a few eyes stared at him, he started feeling dizzy. The pillar was somehow bewildering, and the sensation only grew stronger the higher he climbed. It was as if he had found himself in an illusion formation and was approaching its center.

"Huh?" Eventually, his vision began distorting and he started seeing things that made him lose his way. When he looked down, the glowing green eyes all seemed to be looking at him. He felt a hammering in his head, but he still maintained his consciousness with his second general soul.

"Even so, I'm already starting to lose myself even though I haven't been climbing for long. Looks like the Myriadeyes Wonder is really taxing on the soul.... Must I have a third regal soul to make it to the top?" Looking up at the endless tower could easily make one despair.

"Calm down." He took a deep breath and found that he felt much better all of a sudden. Then, he noticed something when he looked at his own body: bane text had begun manifesting. "Trisoul Prime!" He finally recalled it. Apart from the Soul Tower, his own soul had transformed thanks to his Aeonic Grandbane, and one of those changes was his Trisoul Prime. His Vita Prime greatly increased his comprehension abilities, while his Terra Prime greatly enhanced his totems, and his Caelum Prime was a legacy to be inherited as he grew. Even so, he didn't know the true nature of his Trisoul Prime, only that the bane text flowed around on the surface of his soul. Now that he was in his caelum form, the ancient text began appearing on his surface, helping him maintain consciousness and allowing him to continue on.

"I've already started soul cultivation. Maybe I can learn more about my Trisoul Prime as I improve." It was an ability inherent in his Aeonic Grandbane. Ying Huo's Blazebane and Meow Meow's Blitzbane, on the other hand, were already rather well understood.

"There's quite a lot of people here, still." He saw many talented geniuses as he continued his ascent. During the first part, most of them were struggling against the illusions and few had the luxury to fight others. Tianming, on the other hand, was able to cross the first half of the pillar without much issue, thanks to the bane text of his Trisoul Prime and his second general soul.

"There are so many people from different worlds. Which ones are from the Mysterium Cluster, I wonder?" The participants were only designated based on the nova source worlds they came from, rather than the star clusters they belonged to, if any.

Tianming had to continue consciously holding the illusions at bay, ignoring the voices he heard as he continued upward.

"Die!" came a cry from behind all of a sudden, followed by a dense aura that came charging toward him.
