Chapter 1527 - Boundless Blood Grudge
Tianming hurried over to Xian Xian. Its tree had taken root on a pile of corpses. While it wasn"t a problem for Xian Xian, Tianming could see that Feiling"s flower was absorbing blood grudge again. This time, it was even more terrifying. The deaths of more than forty million people and countless lifebound beasts had formed a blood grudge thousands of times stronger than that of the Azurecloud Divine Tree. Feiling"s flower had been completely stained red.
"Return to the lifebound s.p.a.ce immediately!" Tianming said.
"I... I can"t move! She"s controlling my roots!" Xian Xian said, panicking. Its roots were spread across the battlefield, absorbing all of the blood grudge from the corpses. It was like Feiling was an endless black hole.
Tianming didn"t know what he could do. It was one troublesome matter after another. He had just finished dealing with the celestial orderians and they still had to prepare for the sun emperor’s arrival, only for something to happen to Feiling. He could almost hear the sound of blood grudge being absorbed into the petals of the flower.
"What do I do? I can"t stop it at all!" Xian Xian was tearing up already.
Tianming tried approaching, only for the blood grudge to corrode his body the moment he did. Even with the Soul Tower guarding his vita, he was still significantly affected by it. He seemed powerless to do anything!
......
Near the east of the Myriaddragon Mountains was Purplegrand Mountain. One could see the entire battlefield from its peak, making it an ideal scouting spot. A few days ago, a dozen people went there and settled in, seemingly not leaving. The leader was a beautiful male youth that had a demonic air about him and was shrouded in mist. He was none other than the dreamless celestial emperor. Even though he had led the Myriad Solar Sects to battle, he’d vanished when it began. The entire time, he was monitoring the situation from the mountain. When he and his elite subordinates saw Tianming"s entrance with the hundred thousand Dragon Imperials, turning the tide of battle, they were all astonished.
"As expected of the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect. They’re impressive indeed."
"How powerful!"
"No wonder the sun emperor has his sights on the Primodragon Cave. It must be a mystical place."
Though shocked, the dreamless celestial emperor shook his head and furrowed his brow. "It won"t be fun anymore. I wanted to use the sects as leverage and was waiting for both sides to wear each other out so that I’d be able to conquer some of the Xuanyuans" territory, yet they had this kind of trump card.... Coupled with that Northdipper fellow messing around, this has become troublesome."
If the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect had an edge, nothing bad would come from helping out the celestial orderians to balance things out. But now there was nothing to be gained by helping them against such overwhelming odds. That was why he had accepted Tianming"s proposal when he used the Azurespirit as a threat. He had contemplated taking some dragonsprings in the chaos as well, but the appearance of the ancient Dragon Imperials completely ruined such plans.
Right then, he received a transmission stone. "Oh? She"s been found, eh? She"s quite good at running. Bring her back," the dreamless celestial emperor said.
Not long after, some people dragged a beautiful girl with ink-green hair to him. The closer she was to him, the more void her eyes looked. She was already struggling to maintain consciousness, thus she was powerless and forced to kneel.
"You even tried asking for asylum. It"s a shame that these people can"t even protect themselves. How would they be able to protect you?" he said, looking down on her demeaningly.
Weisheng Moran kept her head low, struggling with the void that threatened to drown her mind.
"Fishy... you have no right to act on your own. That isn’t your life"s mission. You exist to serve an even greater purpose, understood?" he said in a gentle tone.
"Yes...." She nodded with great difficulty.
"Very good." The dreamless celestial emperor stroked her head as she became obedient. Then, his eyes brightened. "Ah, you haven"t taught him how to use the Azurespirit yet. For that, I shall spare your life."
The kneeling girl was still shaking. He was in a rather good mood as he stood up and looked into the distance. He had seen Tianming slaughter all those enemies in his nova source giant form before channeling all the rest of his energy into the swords. "His energy is depleting. I have a chance to retrieve the Azurespirit."
With how chaotic the battlefield was, n.o.body would be able to protect Tianming. The dreamless celestial emperor turned around and lifted the hair on the back of his head, revealing a face of a girl, one that looked exactly like Weisheng Moran"s. Suddenly, the eyes on the face opened and his entire body began to snap and s.h.i.+ft. His bone structure changed as peaks began to rise on his back, eventually forming into feminine curves. Almost instantly, he had turned into a girl that looked exactly like Weisheng Moran. She smiled at Weisheng Moran with absolute charm.
"Wait for me to come back," she said, walking past Weisheng Moran and vanis.h.i.+ng from sight. The ruler of the dreamless celestial empire that was stronger than even the Saintdragon Emperor began heading to the battlefield. "I"ll only be taking one eye, so it"s not going too far, right?" she said in an innocent tone of voice.
......
"Ling"er!" Tianming forced himself to approach the blood grudge, enduring the pain of corrosion. Then he reached one of the petals. The blood-colored flower was absorbing blood grudge like a black hole. With every second, the blood grudge seemed to take over more and more of its presence.
"Ling"er, can you hear me?!" he cried in a hoa.r.s.e voice, almost completely plastering himself on the flower. His heart was beating so fast it was almost about to fail. All of a sudden, he heard her heartbeat. It grew faster and faster and the flower even seemed to pulse to it. Blood grudge rushed to his face. He could almost see her silhouette through the petals, picking up her familiar fragrance. However, the savage aura coming from the petal was terrifying.
"I trust you. You’re a simple and pure person. No matter what you come back with, you’re still the treasure of this world! No blood grudge can affect your mental state!" he said, tightly hugging the flower. Feiling seemed to be responding in kind.
However, he felt a chill from behind him. Turning back, he was surprised to see a girl with ink-green hair. "Weisheng Moran?"
