Chapter 2859 - An Indelible Mark
Almost all the astrals.h.i.+ps above deific cla.s.s had been locked on. The two desperate reges mundi were already planning to give up Taixi City and retreat with the core members. Therefore, leaving on a s.h.i.+p wasn’t a viable option. With their high cultivation level, they were practically invincible and, in a chaotic battlefield, escaping on their own two feet was actually easier. Many ebon experts had escaped like that.
Unfortunately, they were seen by Yin Chen. Tianming immediately notified Yi Daiyan, who was wrapping things up in Taixi City. Upon receiving the news, she followed his directions and chased after them. The world down under was still embroiled in fierce fighting, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were approaching the end. The Infinitum Army secured the spoils of war and dealt with those who surrendered, demolis.h.i.+ng what was left of the ebons’ resistance, picking away at the giant.
When their astrals.h.i.+ps finally lost power, the entire subterranean world was a chaotic mess, with fragments of astrals.h.i.+ps as well as corpses of humans, wildbeasts, and lifebound beasts covering almost every inch of the place. Calling it a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood would be an understatement.
Despite taking down Taixi City, the warriors of the Infinitum Army didn’t feel excited, but numb. They were deeply shocked by the astrals.h.i.+p battle, and the realization that they had created a miracle and made history had just hit them.
"Over there!"
?
Many were alarmed by the shout.
Yi Daiyan’s sixfold simulacrum, Lux Imperius, manifested in the dark sky. It was clear that her opponents were powerful. And when everyone finally laid eyes on her opponents, they were astonished.
"It"s Shenxi Xuanxi and Shenxi Ling’e!"
"They’re still here?"
"This is great! We’ll have the upper hand if we capture them!"
"Shenxi Xingtian’s going to cry like a baby again."
"He could never have imagined that those two from the SwordG.o.d Lin Clan would have integrity. They aren’t willing to collude with such vicious people."
"This is awesome!"
The battle between Yi Daiyan, Shenxi Xuanxi, and Shenxi Ling’e attracted the attention of many people. Astrals.h.i.+ps surrounded them, making it difficult for the two to escape. Although they were two of the three strongest women in the entire mundus, Shenxi Xuanxi and Shenxi Ling’e were still far behind Yi Daiyan in terms of strength. They would be finished once Yi Daiyan, who had the Infinitum Stele in hand, discovered them.
The fight didn"t last long at all. Despite using their taixi souls, Shenxi Xuanxi and Shenxi Ling’e failed to suppress Yi Daiyan and lost their warbeasts.
All eyes were on them. Everyone bubbled with excitement. In fact, Yi Daiyan hadn’t planned on killing them after slaughtering their warbeasts, so she could use them as bargaining chips against Shenxi Xingtian. However, she didn’t expect that the two women would rather die than surrender.
In the hopes of taking Yi Daiyan with them, they unleashed the ebons’ secret technique, detonating their cosm.o.f.orce. Contrary to their expectation, they didn’t look heroic at all. Their desperate attack merely burned their bodies and souls, but failed to hurt Yi Daiyan.
Dazzling fireworks exploded as if in celebration of their deaths.
"Shenxi Xuanxi and Shenxi Ling"e are dead! Taixi City has been destroyed! Today, we’ve suppressed the traitors. The Infinitum Bodhimanda has won a great victory. The world shall rejoice!" Yi Daiyan’s voice spread throughout the entire underground battlefield.
Everyone roared with elation.
"This battle will leave a mark in history!"
“Blood as far as the eye can see.... My heart aches!”
"We won!"
"Taixi City has fallen and the ebons have lost their base. Most of them are dead, anyway. Aside from those who surrendered, only a few astral G.o.ds and normal G.o.ds managed to escape!"
"All they have now is Ebonopolis and about a million astral G.o.ds! That makes them slightly stronger than any ordinary regal clan."
"Tsk, tsk!"
"When we take down Ebonopolis, the ebons will be finished!"
News of their victory spread all over Ebonia almost instantly. The entire world was focused on the Infinitum Army. Taixi City had been destroyed and the ebons’ astrals.h.i.+ps had been blown to bits. Even Shenxi Xuanxi and Shenxi Ling’e were dead.
The news shook Ebonia and excited those facing the beast wave. The reason the ebons went from being revered to scorned was their own doing. Part of the heritage and legacy that had been pa.s.sed down for millions of years was destroyed.
Even if the battle was over for now, the aftermath still sent shock waves across the sixth-level nova source world. The significance of the victory would last throughout the ages. Yi Daiyan"s declaration further enhanced her authority on Ebonia. She would have gained at least fifty trillion believers if she had inherited the Primordial G.o.d-Emperor’s legacy.
"The first rex mundi reigns supreme!"
"The Infinitum Bodhimanda will be united for all generations!"
Endless cheers swept across Ebonia. This dark star turned red from the flames of war and burning faith both. At that moment, the skies were still filled with fireworks.
The collection and distribution of the spoils and the disposal of prisoners would probably take several months. However, Yushan Taifeng and the others would handle those matters on behalf of Yi Daiyan. Tianming, Xiaodao, and Yi Daiyan had played their part.
"If we can"t find the Taixi Guard Formation core, there’ll be nothing to support it," Xiaodao said.
"It isn’t easy to create an ether-cla.s.s formation even on an infinitum-cla.s.s world, is it?" Tianming said with regret.
"Yes. At least thousands of generations worked hard to create this one, and each generation can only scratch the surface. All the defensive formations we have now are the products of our ancestors’ combined efforts and are witnesses of the times,” Xiaodao replied.
"I can’t help but feel sorry that it’s just gone,” Tianming said.
The ebons’ ancestors certainly didn’t want their formations to be destroyed.
"There"s nothing we can do. It’s amazing it stood for millions of years," Xiaodao said.
"That’s true!" Tianming was no longer bothered by it.
"I wonder how Shenxi Xingtian feels right now," Tianming coldly laughed.
"I’d like to know, too," Xiaodao said, grinning widely.
