Chapter 2646 - Ephemeral World, Eightpart Apparition
"Yin Chen! I need their location!" Tianming couldn't care about anything other than reacting immediately. Wudi had wanted to use the flameyellow fiends to wipe out the million remaining astral gods, but all he could do now was hold them back and prevent the ether-class ships from piercing through the formation. He no longer had the bandwidth to deal with the sanctuary- and deific-class ships.
The Sky Palace Formation was their weakness, and the Dreamchild was more than capable of taking it down! Stopping it was their utmost priority! Yin Chen kept them updated on the enemy's coordinates, and soon, they had an estimate of the enemy's speed.
Seven hundred thousand flameyellow fiends gathered and joined the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and Flameyellow Coffin in the sea of flames, prepared to meet their most threatening foe yet. Though the Gladean Ruins also wanted to come, it was entangled with the Ebonfiend, so they had no choice but to count on the Reaper instead.
"It takes thirty thousand fiends to stop an ether-class ship, so seven hundred thousand of them should be able to stop the Dreamchild! Don't panic!" Wudi said, yet he and Tianming knew that when a ship was powerful to a certain extent, the number of flameyellow fiends no longer made much of a difference. Back then, they had experimented by letting the fiends help Xiaodao out, but their claws and talons were unable to deal any real damage to the Ebonfiend's infinitum-ore surface. Not to mention, if the Dreamchild's aim was to focus on reaching the Sky Palace Formation rather than wiping out the flameyellow fiends, it would probably cruise so fast that the fiends wouldn't be able to keep up. There wasn't much they could do unless each and every fiend could somehow be strengthened.
"Get into formation!" The flameyellow fiends formed a network of chains as the Dreamchild approached. Tianming felt his heart rate increase. Blending with the core of his ship, he was able to see through the eyes of the nine dragon heads. A white shadow appeared near the pink Sun. Yin Chen had said it was similar to Sixth in that it looked like it was made of liquid that could freely reshape itself! Its normal humanoid form somewhat resembled a ghost. While it didn't seem as threatening as the Ebonfiend, it was even more mysterious. As expected of the culmination of generations of effort on the part of the divine wondersky race.
The ship changed forms and lengthened. After it settled into the form of a white spear, it solidified. The point of the spear was pointed toward the Sun, then it began rapidly rotating, giving it the properties of a Starbreaker! Perhaps it was the logical extreme of that weapon's core function. Clearly, the Dreamchild was trying to break the astralguard formation itself, adopting a method completely unlike the Ebonfiend's brute-force one.
The spear reached peak rotational speed, causing a vortex to form near the Sun. When its nova source surged, the spear plunged straight toward the pink star with immense speed and ferocity! There was a good reason Shenxi Xingtian had chosen to collude with the divine wonderians—they had powers and abilities even he hadn't imagined was possible.
A terrifying sound came from above as the Flameyellow Guard Formation was pierced through, as the enemy had so meticulously planned! The hole was made above the Sky Palace Formation, so if the thrust continued downward, it would all be over!
Tianming saw the tip of the ship at that instant. "How fast! Stop it!"
The flameyellow fiends combined into a pink ocean. No matter how fast an infinitum-class ship was, the fiends would be able to intercept it with enough preparation. During the moment of the clash, countless fiends were reduced to ash. However, they quickly reformed and resumed their task. But the momentum of the Dreamchild was so huge that the fiends weren't able to do much to stop it. It continued bearing down with full force! Once it touched the Sky Palace Formation, they would lose!
"Keep going!" Tianming shot Wudi a glance as the flameyellow fiends perished. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and Flameyellow Coffin shot toward the Dreamchild at the same time. While the ship was able to measure up to the Dreamchild in terms of mass, the coffin was simply far too small. Fortunately, it was incredibly hard! One of them rammed the lower part while the other rammed the upper part in an attempt to tilt the spear, changing its trajectory and keeping it there for the flameyellow fiends to wear down. Ji Ji also helped by focusing the nova source of the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb near the tail section, causing the sword-tail to glow bright as it was slammed into the tip of the Dreamchild! Wudi continued using the astralguard formation to apply pressure.
I can get Little Fish to use the divine wonders to help me! Just as Tianming thought that, something occurred to him. Divine wonders were formations inscribed upon the body. If Moran had divine wonders that could complement a divine astralship formation, wouldn't the rex mundi of the Skydome Mundus also have one? Not to mention, they must be infinitum-class divine wonders! Realizing that fact alone made things much worse. Meng Ying's abilities were no doubt superior to Shenxi Xingtian and Xiaodao's!
As expected, a white mist appeared around the Dreamchild, turning into an actual world. Tianming completely lost the enemy's location, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb's tail striking nothing but empty space. Not to mention, the divine wonder's power seemed to be seeping into the ship, causing a white mist to appear around Tianming. It formed into an apparition in a flowing white dress that opened its arms and charged toward him!
"My disciple, beware of Meng Ying's ephemeral world wonder and eightpart apparition wonder! They're both infinitum class!" Xiaodao warned.
"Hell, why’re you only saying that now?!" He had no choice but to have Moran use both her divine wonders to reinforce the ship and push the eightpart apparition wonder that had made its way in. Only then did the life-threatening aura around him vanish.
"Godfather, are you alright?" Tianming asked.
"I'm fine! Their divine wonders aren't able to invade the Flameyellow Coffin. I'm in a fortress!" Wudi said. The two of them were safe.
However, Tianming suddenly realized that Wudi's coffin was nowhere to be seen. He turned around and found that the mist-shrouded Dreamchild had pierced through a mass of seven hundred thousand flameyellow fiends and continued its descent unabated! The eightpart apparition wonder had a similar function to the flameyellow fiends and Moran’s evernight whale wonder. And while they were small, there was a large number of them, enough to take on the flameyellow fiends.
"I'll wipe out your people first, then drag their souls to meet you. Is that what it will take for you to kneel before me, Li Tianming? Or should I say, Lin Feng," said a voice that was a mix of a little boy and girl's. The voice had come from every single eightpart apparition within the formation.
The people within the Sky Palace Formation felt a terrifying chill down their spine.
