Chapter 1886
Tianming already knew what to expect with the other sun emperor. He knew that the best he could do there was to minimize the damage; he couldn’t entirely remove it. The only thing he should focus on now wasn't killing the sun emperor, but helping the others evacuate. Thus, he was ready to give it his all no matter the opponent.
"Tianming," a cold voice said from behind.
Tianming smiled and turned back and saw Lingfeng resolutely looking at him. "Why didn't you leave?"
"You won't leave your subjects behind, and I can't leave you behind," Lingfeng said. That was why he had also stepped on the path of no return. One look at his eyes was enough to convey his intentions.
If things went as expected, they would be fighting for their lives as the people evacuated. Many were fated to enter their last slumber here. The celestial orderians continued their assault, per their leader's orders, though they were far from as spirited as before when Tianming had been assumed dead. At the same time, the Divine Sun Palace continued its approach and aimed itself at Tianming, as well as Myriaddragon Mountains. In other words, if Tianming escaped, the blast would vaporize the evacuating folks. It was a move that targeted Tianming's weakness—underhanded, but effective. Tianming had armed the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, but he lacked the power source to properly use it, hence the disparity in their strength.
"You’re far too immature to be going against me," the sun emperor arrogantly said. He seemed to have a counter for every one of Tianming's moves. In fact, the Divine Sun Palace was even more terrifying than the sun emperor now, with the formation gone. Its gigantic mouth hung open as it charged up the destructive blast. "You better not evade it, or those behind you will die! You wouldn't be fit to be their ruler if you have them die for you, would you?"
"Shameless!" Countless people cursed the underhandedness of the sun emperor, especially given how he was the strongest person on the sun. His thick skin simply made him incredibly hard to deal with.
The people behind Tianming hastily moved aside. Divine Wrath blasts were no joke, and at that moment, a pillar of gold shot toward Tianming. The sky itself changed color from the sheer glow. Fortunately, the people behind Tianming had moved aside quickly enough, giving him a chance to evade. Even so, Tianming was sent flying from the sheer might of the blast, his back scalded red. The blast had brushed past him and slammed into Great Saintdragon Peak, leaving a gigantic, smoking crater in the landscape. The great peak had stood for countless years, only to fall this very day, dealing a blow to the morale of the troops. Luckily, they hadn’t suffered many casualties from that blast. However, it was only a matter of time before the Divine Sun Palace charged up another blast.
The Saintdragon Emperor quickly reacted. "Retreat, quick!"
The Myriaddragon Mountains was their final stronghold. They wouldn't know where to go after leaving it, but staying meant certain death so they kept on moving.
"The Imperialdragon Princeps is buying us time!"
"We have to retreat, quick!"
"He can only leave if we retreat! We have to hurry up so he can survive!"
Thankfully, the Myriad Solar Sects knew Tianming's intentions well. He was thankful for that, and felt like what he was doing was meaningful. Once more feeling a fighting spirit, he charged straight for the Divine Sun Palace like a moth to fire. He only had a small window of time to disrupt it, but it was merely a laughable effort to the sun emperor.
Everything seemed like it had been fated to happen. Something utterly breathtaking occurred, and Tianming was the first one to see it. As he charged toward the Divine Sun Palace, he suddenly felt a terrifying source of power beyond the flaming clouds! It was definitely a divine astralships, and it seemed more powerful than the sun emperor's own! But how could that be possible?
A gaping hole in the flaming clouds suddenly opened up thanks to a greenish vortex. A green object appeared from within before shooting out two green pillars of light! Unlike the Divine Sun Palace’s Divine Wrath, these blasts were even faster. Ice crystals formed in the air where the beams passed. Half of the flames on the battlefield were immediately extinguished by the frost.
"What the hell are those?!" The blasts had been too fast and gave nobody the time to react. Tianming looked at the target of the blasts: the sun emperor and the Divine Sun Palace! The Myriad Solar Sects and Tianming himself weren't their targets. He didn't know who the newcomers were, but was relieved that they weren't after him.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from .com.
However, that only lasted a moment. It didn't take much to infer that the divine astralship was Skywolf's! Just because their stars hadn't arrived yet didn't mean their divine astralships couldn't come there ahead of them. Still in shock, Tianming saw a wolf-like apparition beyond the green vortex in the sky. It was definitely from Skywolf and it had determined that the strongest side on the battlefield was the sun emperor's, hence why it chose to attack while the Divine Sun Palace was charging up.
Each of the blasts was just as powerful as Divine Wrath! They were just as swift as they were powerful! Tianming couldn't even react to the speed of the blast, while he could still get out of the way of the Divine Wrath. Had he been the target of the green beams, he would be completely vaporized. Those beam attacks were far more merciless than a strike from the crimson-gold coffin.
The sun emperor and his palace seemed unable to react and were swallowed up by the green beams of light. The Divine Sun Palace, especially, was only slightly able to swerve aside before a beam squarely struck it.
