Chapter 2910 - Trapped Inside With Me
Mister Taihe didn"t stop for a single moment, with Demoness Yin and the other top elites watching over him as he continued his work. Hundreds of thousands of wonderians continued slowly gathering outside the Sky Palace Formation, with even more descending from the flaming clouds above. There was no way Ebonia would come to the Sun"s aid any longer; Tianming and the others couldn"t see a single shred of hope.
"We must take a huge risk to even stand a chance of leaving this predicament!" Fortunately for them, Meng Ying had snuck toward the Flameyellow Guard Formation, completely unaware of the Thousand Foundation Divine Puppet that they still had up their sleeves. This was an opportunity for Wudi and Tianming. "That guy must"ve left with the excuse of helping his fellow wonderians fight in the astralguard formation!"
The Flameyellow Coffin had managed to damage the Dreamchild once before. Meng Ying, still a couple back then, hadn"t been able to forget that humiliating experience in the slightest. With there being so many Yin Chens in the Flameyellow Guard Formation, the location of Meng Ying was easily determined. "G.o.dfather, I"m counting on you."
"Don"t worry. The Flameyellow Guard Formation is my home turf! He might have a divine wonder, but I have an entire astralguard formation—and the coffin as well! He"s also half dead and nearly expiring of old age, so he"s probably the weakest foundationeer of them all, considering how much cosm.o.f.orce he"s losing. He"s even weaker than Shenxi Xingtian, so if I can"t take care of him, you can be the dad instead!" Wudi seemed rather pumped and arrogant.
"Oh? You’d better do your best, or I"ll have to call you my son," Tianming said.
"Just wait for the good news!"
"G.o.dfather, I"m serious. We"re counting on you to turn things around. If we miss this chance, our enemies will overwhelm us!" Since Yi Daiyan"s betrayal, the hopes of the Sun had fallen into an abyss. Meng Ying"s personal actions were the only ray of hope Tianming had in complete darkness. He awaited the news alongside the others with bated breath.
......
Countless flameyellow fiends had formed all over the place within the astralguard formation, unable to truly be killed. As long as the Sun still had nova source, they would simply reform. The slaughter continued intensifying.
The wonderians suffered the solar storms and countless of them died. The astralguard formation was like a never-ending furnace. Meng Ying disguised himself as a white cloud using his ephemeral world wonder and floated through the seas of flame at rather high speeds. "My son said that the coffin appeared near this location before...."
He trusted the disguise provided by his divine wonder, and believed that he wouldn"t be found out. Unfortunately for him, the observational capabilities that this particular astralguard formation provided Wudi far outstripped his imagination. No matter how well divine wonders could mask something, they couldn"t change its true essence. The more energy that was released, the more obvious it would seem within the formation. Wudi could see each and every move that Meng Ying made.
"I can"t rush this. Let"s wait a bit more!" He had to make sure to set a good trap. Just like how they’d had to get Shenxi Xingtian to crawl out of his hole, they had to get Meng Ying to walk into the trap himself!
Wudi intentionally left a gap in the defenses, allowing some wonderians to see him and report it to Meng Ying. He had chosen somewhere right above a solar lance, where the nova source was the densest. It also happened to be the center level of the astralguard formation, making it impossible to go to a higher or lower level easily.
All too often, hunters pretended to be prey to bait in their targets. Wudi pretended like he hadn"t noticed Meng Ying"s presence and continued slaughtering another horde of wonderians, protected by tens of thousands of flameyellow fiends. After that, he quickly headed to the next horde, ensuring that Meng Ying caught a good look of how focused he was.
The coffin eventually stopped and Wudi opened the lid. He took in a part of the Flameyellow Bloodsoul and injected some flameyellow fiends with it, strengthening them in the process. With how precious the Flameyellow Bloodsoul was, Wudi wouldn"t normally use it to enhance the flameyellow fiends; however, it was all in service to make Meng Ying think that he had a good reason to open the lid of the coffin.
Unsurprisingly, Meng Ying couldn"t hold back when he saw the lid that he had tried so painstakingly to remove back then being opened so easily. With a single look, he could tell that Wudi was among the weakest astral G.o.ds, without even a single cosmic chart. Revealing himself near Meng Ying like that was suicide!
Meng Ying also saw Xiaodao and the others inside the Sky Palace Formation, so there was no way that they would be able to come out to stop him. As for Yi Daiyan, she was still waging her war with Shenxi Xingtian. Things had lined up perfectly for him for once!
"How could such a precious treasure be wasted on these pieces of trash? If I manage to take that for myself, I’ll have fulfilled one of her wishes." The old couple had long since wanted the coffin. Meng Ying no longer hesitated and turned into a white beam of light that shot through the flaming clouds, instantly covering vast distances.
Wudi feigned surprise as he "secretly" fed the flameyellow fiends and hurriedly entered the coffin, attempting to shut it. "Who goes there?!"
The coffin was almost about to lock, but that didn"t stop Meng Ying. The beam of white turned into a white-haired old man who wedged himself in the gap right before it shut, descending into the pool of Flameyellow Bloodsoul. Then the lid of the coffin completely closed.
Meng Ying looked around and couldn"t stop himself from laughing, "Red-haired tortoise coward, I finally caught you! Let"s see how arrogant you can be with me inside this sh.e.l.l of yours!" He recalled how the coffin had smashed up so many of the embryo tanks in his s.h.i.+p and how much they’d suffered for it. And now, the day of retribution had finally come. His eyes burned with righteous fury.
Seeing Wudi"s panicked expression as he shuffled back, Meng Ying continued laughing, "I heard that you"re Li Tainming’s G.o.dfather. In other words, you were the one who raised him! He must value you very much. Now that you"re trapped inside with me, there"s n.o.body you can call to save you! It"s over for you!"
"Waaaah! I"m scared! Save me, my son!" Wudi cried as he clutched his face with both hands.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Senior, how can you ever forgive me? Can I get off if I give you a nice slurp? I"m confident in my skills..." Wudi said, feigning panic.
