Chapter 2590 - The End is Nigh
The larger the world, the stronger its gravitational pull would be. The s.h.i.+ps that Tianming had destroyed would ultimately crash on the newly formed solar land and seas. He could control the damage to some extent and avoid destroying the wealth stored in the critical rooms
Each reconnaissance s.h.i.+p contained many cultivators, but since they were skypiercer-cla.s.s s.h.i.+ps, they basically didn"t have any cosmic cartographers. Tianming could handle them himself!
Without s.h.i.+ps, it was like being at sea without a boat. Besides staying near the "island" of the Sun, there was nowhere else to escape. If they died, their spatial rings would fall to the surface. Items that Wudi couldn"t lock on to wouldn’t be destroyed by the Flameyellow Guard Formation, but they would eventually fall to the ground. Even if Yin Chen missed them, the Sun"s inhabitants would pick them up, benefiting the people!
It was precisely because the Star Hunters carried a lot of wealth that this battle was particularly important for the Sun. The Flameyellow Bloodsoul made the talent of the inhabitants greatly improve, and their thirst for cultivation resources was like never before.
However, the reconnaissance s.h.i.+ps weren’t foolish. When the Lightsoul was still around, they still had hope of turning the tide. Now that it had escaped with their Third Boss leading the way, they couldn"t be considered deserters. The more than two hundred reconnaissance s.h.i.+ps that had been forcibly stationed there immediately dispersed.
Tianming controlled the damaged Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and could only pursue as best he could. Even with Yin Chen’s help, it was difficult for him to catch more than thirty s.h.i.+ps by the last moment.
"There should be about two hundred and twenty skypiercer-cla.s.s s.h.i.+ps that escaped." Once those s.h.i.+ps entered the vast starry sky, they would be difficult to find. "After this battle, have the s.h.i.+ps of Gladeus patrol the area outside with Yin Chen. If these stragglers dare to stay nearby, annihilate them."
Tianming estimated that the terrified individuals, without anyone to command them, would completely flee and might even retire from their previous line of work. "As long as all the Star Hunters currently on the Sun die, their organization will be wiped out! The remaining two hundred skypiercer-cla.s.s s.h.i.+ps won"t make waves anywhere!"
Thus, the key was still the battlefield within the Flameyellow Guard Formation and Wudi.
"G.o.dfather makes it sound easy, but trying to stop so many opponents must be very stressful for him. I’ll take a look, the Bloodprison is on the surface of the Flameyellow Guard Formation." After the lesson with the Lightsoul, Tianming certainly wouldn"t get too close.
The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb sank into the raging sea of flames, silently advancing. Not far away was the battlefield of the Bloodprison and the flameyellow fiends, and he could see the utter chaos even without getting close.
Deep within the sea of fire ahead, a blood-red gear was spinning, shooting upward, and blood-red aura continuously burst in all directions. However, fifteen thousand three-headed, six-armed flameyellow fiends had formed an encirclement larger than the Bloodprison itself, trapping it tightly inside. The Bloodprison constantly tried to break free; however, even if the flameyellow fiends shattered, they would rea.s.semble. Each time the Bloodprison ascended a bit, it was pulled back down.
But overall, the entire process was still extremely perilous. The flameyellow fiends found it difficult to break through the Bloodprison’s defenses. One slight bit of negligence, and it could escape just like the Lightsoul had. As long as Lin Xiaodao didn"t return, there might still be a major accident on the battlefield of the Sun.
"If we want to stop these guys, the Sun will consume at least dozens of heliacal-cla.s.s nova sources today!" It was a money-burning battle! It was obvious how important the ownerless nova sources in the Myriadstar Zone were. They were everything to cultivators, as well as the ultimate energy source.
"Old Lin caught the third boss and is rus.h.i.+ng back at full speed. The Reaper is towing the damaged Lightsoul back." Now that they were familiar, the respectful ‘Master’ had gradually become ‘Old Lin’. One Old Ye, one Old Lin; both were top-notch. Although the Lightsoul had belonged to the Star Hunters, it was still a valuable treasure. There was no need to completely destroy it unless absolutely necessary.
"Hold on!" Tianming dared not get too close and could only watch from a distance, sweating for Wudi and the flameyellow fiends.
Yin Chen said that the Traceless’ situation was even more perilous. However, the Traceless was in the middle of a formation, making it more difficult to break through. So, although it was perilous, it wasn"t as critical as the Bloodprison"s situation. From Tianming"s perspective, the fifteen thousand flameyellow fiends were risking their lives to hold back the Star Hunters’ astrals.h.i.+p.
Flameyellow fiend after flameyellow fiend were shattered, but another would always take the place of a shattered one. "Hold on! Hold on!" It was the most dangerous moment for the Star Hunters, but also the moment when they fought the hardest.
Six ether-cla.s.s astrals.h.i.+ps and thousands of other Star Hunter s.h.i.+ps were constantly trying to break through from the bottom.
The slow pa.s.sage of time made Tianming very uneasy. His heart raced, and he was sweating from his forehead.
"If we can win this battle, the Sun, along with Gladeus, me, G.o.dfather, Old Lin, Grandpa, and Uncle Changkong should be able to stand equally with the ebons and Yi Daiyan, right?" Swallowing the Star Hunters would undoubtedly lead to a huge increase in capital. Many of the s.h.i.+ps that were slightly damaged, and once repaired, would belong to the Lin Clan"s war machine!
The hungry sun was indeed the perfect battlefield, greedily absorbing everything from the Star Hunters and making itself a normal nova source world.
"To build a home, we need to water it with the blood of our enemies!" Tianming clenched his fists, his blood boiling.
"Oh right!" A sudden realization flashed in his mind. "The Flameyellow Pillars can pierce the Flameyellow Guard Formation and devour the power of other stars. Can it also provide more power to the Flameyellow Guard Formation by only connecting to it, thereby increasing its strength?"
Although that would definitely consume a lot of power, and the "energy absorption" of the Flameyellow Guard Formation would also have a limit, why not let it reach that limit? Tianming wanted to help his G.o.dfather, since he was struggling so much.
"You can try. Right now, there"s still some s.p.a.ce left in the Flameyellow Guard Formation. A more timely energy supply can also help the flameyellow fiends recover faster,” Ji Ji said. It had also been a hero today.
"Alright!" Tianming didn"t hesitate.
The Sun"s spears once again tore through the land, soaring into the sky and connecting with the Flameyellow Guard Formation. As far as the eye could see, pillars of fire reached the sky! The scene was extremely spectacular.
"It used to absorb, now it"s releasing...." Tianming controlled the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb to draw on the Flameyellow Fusion Formation and attempted to guide the power of the nova sources inside directly to the Flameyellow Guard Formation, achieving a direct connection between the two major formations.
His eyes lit up. "It works!" The pink nova source flowed directly through the "pipeline" into the battlefield.
"This is the incredible part of an imperial-cla.s.s world!" At the very least, Tianming had never heard of other worlds being able to do this.
"Slow down! Use less power! The Flameyellow Guard Formation can"t handle so much power at once. Too much will cause it to disperse into the astralscape, leading to wastage." Ji Ji hurriedly said.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Tianming was too excited and had trouble controlling his power.
"Never mind, I"ll do it!" Ji Ji, as the First Aeonic Ancestral Star, could control the Sun"s power by itself. After the channel was opened, it controlled the flow of nova source, accurately and precisely injecting it into the Flameyellow Guard Formation.
"Amazing!"
The Flameyellow Coffin couldn"t absorb Wudi"s power, but fortunately, it was the core of the Flameyellow Guard Formation and could use the Sun"s power through the fusion formation. Now that the Sun"s power was flowing into it, it was like Wudi was trying to push a giant boulder with his small arms and legs!
It was difficult, but the benefit was that the overall strength of the Flameyellow Guard Formation increased again. With a more timely power supply, the number of flameyellow fiends born out of thin air increased by thirty thousand. The thirty thousand flameyellow fiends initially emerged from the relief sculptures of the Flameyellow Coffin.
As a result, the number of flameyellow fiends had reached a hundred and twenty thousand, which was solid evidence of the Flameyellow Guard Formation"s increased strength. It hadn’t truly been ether cla.s.s before, but now its terror could be said to be no less than that of the Gladeus’ h.e.l.lstar Formation!
Thirty thousand flameyellow fiends! Ten thousand supported the Bloodprison’s battlefield while ten thousand more reinforced the Traceless’ battlefield. The last ten thousand joined the battle against ordinary s.h.i.+ps at the bottom. Originally, Wudi had been about to collapse, with all three battlefields on the verge of falling, and the Bloodprison could see the dawn just by lifting its head.
But now, "darkness" had descended again. Twenty-five thousand flameyellow fiends definitely made all the pa.s.sengers of the Bloodprison despair.
"The Lightsoul has been destroyed! Third Boss was captured by Lin Xiaodao! The Gladean Ruins is about to return!"
The news was likely sent back secretly by survivors of the Lightsoul, and it proved a fatal blow to all the Star Hunters. At that moment, the mental state of all the Star Hunters who still had hope crumbled
"Lin Xiaodao! Lin Clan of Gladeus! I"m going to kill you all!"
"d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n it! I roamed the starry sky, and today, I"m going to die here!"
"I want to live! Second Boss, think of a way! I still have a wife and children waiting for me to return!"
"Second Boss! What should we do?! We can"t get out!"
Inside every Star Hunter s.h.i.+p, Star Hunters who had lost their minds were shouting as if they were crazy, their eyes bloodshot.
At that moment, the end was nigh and they were finally afraid.
