Chapter 2907 - A New Son for the Dead One
Through the transparent Sky Palace Formation, Tianming, Xiaodao, and the rest could see the elites from Myriadpath Valley and Intrepidus as they arrived in the heartland of the Sun, led by Meng Ying. The formation was the final hurdle they had to overcome.
The wonderians had easily made it through the Flameyellow Guard Formation using xenogates. Some hundreds of thousands of them came through along with the other foreign elites. Meanwhile, even more wonderians were descending through the Flameyellow Guard Barrier. The wonderians even began laying down more markers all around the Sky Palace Formation so that their allies outside the astralguard formation could take a shortcut through the Xenoworld.
That was the power of a truly grand army. There were around seven million wonderians in total, giving the billions of people within the Sky Palace Formation incredible pressure. The foreign elites, on the other hand, arrogantly beheld the formation and those within.
Tianming's gaze pierced through the thick formation and landed on the hundred hyper elites, most of whom were at the peak of the Cosmic Cartography stage. He could also clearly see the seven foundationeers. Meng Ying was naturally one of them. The four foundationeer godshades looked just like the chief of the Star Hunters, seemingly having many hidden tricks up their sleeves.
The other two, Demoness Yin and Mister Taihe, also made Xiaodao and Tianming grimace. One was completely mysterious and unknown, while the other radiated majesty. Both of them had an all-suppressing aura that someone at the top of their mundus could only possess.
While Tianming wasn't surprised at Mister Taihe's secretive nature, he was rather shocked to learn that Lin Ke's mother was actually such a beauty. I didn't think the mother of someone so ugly would be a top beauty in her own right. Was he adopted or something? If Demoness Yin hadn’t been there for revenge, he wouldn't have minded stealing a few more glances.
Both sides stood off against one another with sharp gazes. Within the Sky Palace Formation, only Xiaodao was a foundationeer. He wouldn't even be able to stand up against five peak-level cosmic cartographers.
"Without Yi Daiyan and the ebons' involvement, we're still going up against seven times our number, and their top elites!" Perhaps ten times wouldn't even be a huge exaggeration. That was the consequences they had to deal with after Yi Daiyan abandoned them to their own devices. "Had she stayed true to the plan, we'd have at least a third of the enemy's forces, not a mere tenth!"
There was no way that resentment wouldn't build from this betrayal. Yi Daiyan hadn’t even had to do much to send the Sun down a path of doom. It was a grudge that would be even more severe than the one incurred for the theft of the Ancestral Swordheart. From the moment of her betrayal, Tianming began to truly hate her.
Xiaodao had still been trying to contact her by transmission stone, but unsurprisingly, Yi Daiyan must have thrown away her own the moment she’d chosen to retreat. This was something they had to deal with without any outside help!
Tianming could tell instantly that the foreign visitors had ill intentions in mind. They cast their malevolent gazes upon Tianming and the rest, eyes filled with contempt and entitlement that was inherent to the sense of superiority of a world seven times the size of Ebonia over an ether-class world. In terms of volume, their world was probably seventy times the size of the Sun. To them, everything on the Sun was so small it was pitiful.
They were filled with nothing but the desire to conquer. Everything in their eyes was prey, Tianming included. Naturally, they could immediately tell that he was no normal youth. Curious and playful gazes landed on him all at once, and from that, he could tell that they were aware of Yi Daiyan's change of plans.
Shenxi Xingtian had begged them for help, but it was clear that they’d refused, given that astralships could travel much faster than they could with their bodies alone. In fact, Yi Daiyan's decision had only made things easier for the wonderians and everyone else with them. A look of schadenfreude was on many wonderians' faces.
"Just wait for your doom!" They had unexpectedly obtained an easy victory.
"Mister Taihe...." Meng Ying wanted to ask about the next steps they should take. What he didn't expect, however, was that Mister Taihe merely gave him a few glances and levitated higher, clearly in a motion to set up the Starshatter Formation. "As expected of Mister Taihe, a man of action indeed."
As people watched, Mister Taihe took out the components for a formation from his spatial ring and set it up above the Sky Palace Formation. Meng Ying had thought that he would give a rousing speech or something, considering the fact that he was the spiritual leader of their side and the master of Li Fan.
While Mister Taihe didn't speak, Demoness Yin took a few steps forward and stuck her body right against the Sky Palace Formation. Casting a seductive gaze at Tianming, she smiled. "So, you are the legendary youth Li Tianming from the Infinitum Mundus, huh?"
"So what if I am?" Tianming glared at his terrifying foe. He was a bit speechless at how her curves compressed against the transparent surface of the formation. They're almost as big as my head! How dense were her astral organs, for them to adopt such a shape!
Hearing Tianming's rude reply, Demoness Yin smiled and winked like she would at a naughty child. "You killed my only son, Lin Ke, right?"
"What if I did?" The moment he said that, the other elites of Intrepidus turned even colder with killing intent.
"It's a big deal, you know. You ended my family line right there," she coquettishly said. Her reaction was completely different from her compatriots'.
"You can always birth a new one, I bet! A new son for the dead one!"
"Well... I happen to be lacking a man," Demoness Yin said, biting her lip.
Tianming was speechless at that response. A woman of her caliber could get all the men in Intrepidus to submit with a single wave of her hand. Why would that even be an issue?! He had an unfortunate streak of meeting the prettiest women that just happened to be liars and frauds, Yi Daiyan in particular. "It's got nothing to do with me."
"That won't do. You're the one that ended my family line, so you have to take responsibility. If you don't, I'll have to take revenge against you."
"How do you want me to take responsibility, then?" Tianming furrowed his brow in confusion. He was the one who killed her son, so shouldn't she be raving mad and trying to kill him?
"Since you killed my son, if you want to live, you must live with me. Help me birth another and we'll be even," she said, lowering her head and blushing.
Tianming almost crashed into the ground at hearing that.
