Chapter 2028
“Emperor Qiang!” The faceless specters that had been swallowed up by the light let out shrill cries.
Crimsonjade Qiang and the rest whose caeli had entered the wondersky realm were startled into wakefulness. It was a bad habit of those with access to a wondersky realm. When they were bored during interstellar travel, they would usually head into the wondersky realm to cultivate.
“Behind us!” Qiang was covered in cold sweat. The astrals.h.i.+p’s core was a very small bracelet around his hand. The blood-colored jade bracelet astrals.h.i.+p quickly started spinning and countless sharp spikes appeared on its surface, turning the ring into a saw.
All the dust and rocks around were pulverized in the process. The scene was enough to confirm the strength of the astrals.h.i.+p; it was much more powerful than the Starvore. However, it hadn’t been prepared, so it hadn’t gotten to its top speed before the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb arrived. The nine dragon heads chomped down together.
Sparks and astrals.h.i.+p fragments flew, while the sawtooth’s motion managed to break a few of the dragon heads’ teeth. However, the tomb still used its large size and dragon claws to hold it in place.
“It’s useless as long as it can’t spin!” Tianming was well aware of that. His teeth also felt sore when the dragon teeth had fallen off.
But he had long been ready. As soon as the blood-colored saw stopped moving, a Ninedragon Apotheosis fell upon it and exploded on the saw’s surface. Blood-colored fragments flew out and powerful aftershocks damaged the divine astrals.h.i.+p formation, allowing the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb’s teeth to sink in further.
The astrals.h.i.+p that had once been imperial-cla.s.s showed its ferocity. Teeth and claws deeply embedded themselves inside the enemy astrals.h.i.+p. The dragon heads bit down from nine different directions before pulling hard!
More and more pieces were ripped from the blood-colored saw. It was like nine astrals.h.i.+ps were attacking it! It had no way to resist after its motion was stopped and could only give in to the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb’s might.
The astrals.h.i.+p cracked—the ferocious beast had given it a fatal blow. It would have been strange if it had somehow escaped instead.
Tianming noticed it was acc.u.mulating power. Unfortunately, he was faster. Another Ninedragon Apotheosis spewed out from the dragon and dispersed the acc.u.mulated power.
The saw noisily broke into multiple sections, completely destroyed. Although the miniature nova source inside didn’t explode, it was still suddenly released. It was like several stellunar sources simultaneously being released, the impact tossing the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb far away.
The nova source swelled up, producing so much light that it filled an area the size of a heliacal-cla.s.s world. After that, it would fade away and become spiritual energy that would fill the area.
“Success!” Tianming was excited. No matter what, the situation was resolved now that the astrals.h.i.+p had exploded.
“I wonder if those inside survived that?” Wudi asked.
“They might have! The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb has a small divine astrals.h.i.+p formation inside. If the tomb’s destroyed, it’ll protect me when the nova source explodes. I found that mechanism on the Starvore, too. The mysterian’s astrals.h.i.+p will definitely have one as well!”
“You have to cut gra.s.s by the roots. This matter involves the fate of all life on the sun. Kill, for the sake of the future! Not one can live,” Wudi said.
“Yes!” Tianming opened the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb’s gates. There was one gate in each dragon mouth, for a total of nine. Fifty million s.h.i.+ning eight-starred ladybugs made their way out of the astrals.h.i.+p. They were there to find any mysterians still alive.
Tianming wasn’t sure how many had been inside. There wouldn’t be too many, since they were merely there to transport cargo. At most, there would be a few hundred. The ladybugs spread out and he quickly got his answer.
“Not many… just only… ten plus!” n.o.body could avoid fifty million ladybugs searching such a small area.
Tianming relaxed when he heard that.
“They are… all together….”
That would make things easier. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb wasn’t suitable for facing ten plus people. Tianming and Wudi exchanged a look before following the ladybugs in the direction they indicated.
“They have… discovered me… escaping now!” Yin Chen made an urgent report.
It was an easy guess for them, after being discovered in the darkness and seeing so many Yin Chens. But it was too late.
Ten plus mysterians were all gathered together in a panic.
“It’s those insects. It’s Li Tianming’s lifebound beast. I didn’t expect they could discover the astrals.h.i.+p!”
“Emperor Qiang, what do we do? What do we do!”
“He’ll want to silence us now! We need to escape!”
“Escape where? The astrals.h.i.+p is gone!”

There was no way to escape in the astralscape without an astrals.h.i.+p. There was only a sun nearby, but it was under Tianming’s control so it was only a road to death.
They had been left with no way out.
As for Emperor Qiang, his body was bleeding all over. Head lowered, he snapped, “Stop arguing! We can’t escape, so let’s negotiate. Gentlemen, prepare to die.”
The faceless specters went quiet now that death was facing them. What should they do now?
