Chapter 2636 - The Dreamchild
Deep within the Flameyellow Guard Formation, two infinitum-class ships fiercely fought, causing violent shockwaves in the surrounding sea of fire. The explosions were like tidal waves, even creating numerous empty areas.
The black demon head with crimson eyes flailed its long chains, while the two-headed divine dragon bathed in a sea of fire. The two ships battled, continuously colliding and bombarding each other, creating nova source eruptions that shook heaven and earth.
In comparison, the Ebonfiend was smoother in its operation. However, the Gladean Ruins’ home field advantage and the assistance of Ji Ji gave it the upper hand.
Shenxi Xingtian sat on his throne with eyes as still as ancient wells. He remained emotionless even as his Exterminatus Army gained the upper hand and continuously pressed forward. The higher an astral god rose, the more indifferent they were. Standing at the highest point, they easily became extremely cold where human lives were nothing more than a statistic to them—including the life of his son, Shenxi Shang.
He wanted to capture Tianming, not for the sake of avenging his son, but for the treasures of the ancestral world! Although the resistance of the flameyellow fiends was unexpected and had caused some losses for his army, he still controlled the situation.
In Shenxi Xingtian's heart, there were only two wounds. One was inflicted by Yi Daiyan, and the other by Xiaodao in Gladeus! This time, he wanted to mend the wound caused by Xiaodao. So even though he was as indifferent as an existence like him could be, when facing the Gladean Ruins, he gradually became somewhat excited.
"Meng Ying!" Shenxi Xingtian's voice was low and dry as he spoke into a transmission stone. "I've played all my trump cards. Three million astral gods have entered the battlefield, and victory is now certain. It's time to expand our achievements! When you and the Dreamchild make your move, the enemy will definitely be psychologically shattered and their entire army will collapse! Now is the best time...." As he spoke, his voice, which had initially been cold, began taking on a manic tone. He had been waiting for fifteen years, which had felt like an eternity. Xiaodao didn't disappoint him. With the ether-class flameyellow fiends, it was indeed so challenging the Dreamchild was needed.
If the challenge had been too small, it would be an insult to Shenxi Xingtian, who’d formed this Exterminatus Army and created his banner of justice.
"The time has come," Shenxi Xingtian said with emphasis. Whether their alliance was really solid and whether they could each get what they needed and coexist peacefully depended on Meng Ying's response.
On the transmission stone, a pair of male and female infants were huddled together, showing very mature smiles and speaking in a relaxed tone.
"It's a great opportunity," the female infant said.
"Rex Mundi Shenxi is right. It's time for us to make a concerted effort to establish victory," the male infant said.
"However, because the other side has a broader field of view, our current position is a bit far away so that we can pull off a surprise attack," the female infant said.
"Please wait a quarter of an hour, Rex Mundi Shenxi. When we arrive, it’ll be the day of the Lin Clan's doom!" the male infant laughed.
The two of them, speaking in turn, perfectly complemented each other, creating a very eerie image. Fortunately, their attitude satisfied Shenxi Xingtian. "I’ll be waiting with bated breath! I'm really looking forward to the sight of the enemy being terrified when they see you. Your arrival is the trump card that these rebels can't even guess we have in store!" Shenxi Xingtian's eyes were boiling, and his fists were clenched. For him, that quarter of an hour would feel so long.
"Rex Mundi Shenxi is too modest. Even without us, it seems that your Exterminatus Army would be able to defeat these rebels. They’re just lawless and dare to oppose the entire Infinitum Bodhimanda. They're already seeking death, so our arrival is just icing on the cake," the male infant said.
"You two are too modest as well. Your appearance is needed to secure victory and reduce casualties, so... let's consider it a strong alliance." Whether it was the Ebonfiend or the Dreamchild, the atmosphere inside was very relaxed.
Next, Shenxi Xingtian ordered his fleet and the beast tide to continue breaking through.
"Kill! Kill!" They crushed flameyellow fiends and continued pressing downward. Once more than ten thousand astralships and three million astral gods, along with a tens-of-millions-strong beast tide charged to the surface of the Sun, they would directly head toward the Sky Palace Formation.
Even without infinitum-class ships, there were so many ships, abilities, and artifacts that the Sky Palace Formation could still be breached!
Nine hundred thousand flameyellow fiends were struggling to hold up against their relentless onslaught. Tianming looked around and saw cultivators, lifebound beasts, and warbeasts everywhere!
The warbeasts charged through the sea of fire, completely unaware as they were charred black, as their souls were controlled.
The Dragonrage Canon worked with flameyellow fiends to strike dense crowds. If everything went well, they could kill many orderans, and even sanctuary-class wildbeasts. Cosmic cartographers could basically avoid ether-class ships’ attacks. On the contrary, that group of experts targeted Tianming, treating him as a "turtle in a jar" trapped in the ship. Over a hundred experts grabbed hold of the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, intending to board the ship to kill him!
"Lin Feng is here!"
"Use cosmic artifacts to break his turtle shell!"
"A mere orderan dares to run rampant on this battlefield with an astralship? Do they really think our Exterminatus Army lacks experts?"
"Let me in. I can crush that little brat with one hand!"
The old guys who had their eyes on Tianming charged like they’d gone mad. They crossed the sea of fire and all their lifebound beasts and warbeasts pounced on the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. They bit down on the nine-headed dragon, used abilities to bombard it, and exerted their strength, causing a lot of trouble for the tomb.
They came on like lunatics and began using tools to hack at the ship. Fortunately, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb’s surface was covered by the Whitedragon Silvermoon and it also had two wonders, which immediately knocked away any person or beast that leapt onto the tomb. That helped ensure its safety, but killing these people was very difficult!
The difficulty was on par with trying to ram a shark with a large ship.
"Dammit!" The pressure they exerted was extremely deadly, and Tianming couldn't bear it any longer. "Let's activate the Flameyellow Guard Formation’s extreme mode first!"
Under his control, the surface of the sun shook and massive pink pillars erupted from the ground and rushed toward the sky, connecting with the fiery clouds. A massive amount of nova source was directly injected into the Flameyellow Guard Formation instead of just being released through dispersion.
