Chapter 2589 - Annihilation of the Lightsoul
Chapter 2589 – Annihilation of the Lightsoul
It didn’t stop at emotions. Tianming also sensed that the Whitedragon Core seemed to have awakened, roaring as if it was waiting for Tianming’s arrival.
“Perhaps due to the upgrade of the sun and the severed dragon tail, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb might still ascend in rank!” Tianming was ecstatic. If it were to upgrade again, it would become ether-class. That meant that he would leap into the second tier of ships in the Infinitum Mundus. Currently, in the third tier, there were too many ether-class ships that could restrain him, like the Lightsoul before him!
“The problem is there’s no time to merge with the core right now!” Even escaping was dangerous. Although he could stall the Lightsoul by appearing here, it had also driven the opponent into a frenzy, making it a battle to the death.
The colorful gear spun at its fastest, erupting with blinding light once again as it shot forward.
“Trouble!” Just after he had barely survived by severing his tail, he now had to compete in piloting skills with the Third Boss of the Star Hunters, which was like a rookie facing a master. Tianming had almost no time to react.
“The current Ninedragon Imperial Tomb is still far from a match for the ether class, despite being invincible in the sanctuary class!” He had overestimated himself and underestimated his opponent. The truth was that he couldn’t stop the Lightsoul!
Wudi didn’t know that either, or he wouldn’t have let Tianming take such a risk. In Wudi’s eyes, Tianming truly was all-powerful….
As Tianming’s heart raced and he almost prepared to escape—
The Reaper finally appeared! Thousands upon thousands of gray sword ki strands shot from its side and struck the Lightsoul just as the colorful gear was about to reach the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb.
There was a deafening explosion as the gear was blown away. By the time the colorful gear spun several revolutions and stabilized, everyone within the Lightsoul looked up and saw a giant sword surge out from the Flameyellow Guard Formation, charging toward them! Within the Lightsoul, countless people let out indignant roars.
“We were almost there!”
“Just a bit more!”
Their minds were about to explode.
“Suppress the Reaper and continue capturing Lin Feng!”
“Don’t panic, we still have a chance at victory!”
“Third Boss, even at this point, don’t hesitate. Big Boss, Second Boss, and millions of our brethren are still relying on us to save them!”
Inside the Lightsoul, chaos erupted. However, the white-haired, colorful-eyed man paid no attention to any of it. He furrowed his brows tightly and took a final look at the Reaper, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, and the Sun. He was trembling all over, his fists clenched.
“Someday, I’ll make you pay a price a million times over for the Star Hunters’ vengeance!” Just as around eighty percent of the people wanted the Third Boss to continue fighting, he suddenly shouted out that sentence, then destroyed all the golden transmission stones in front of him.
“Third Boss! You!”
The voices of the other two bosses abruptly stopped.
“Third Boss, you!”
“Coward! Trash! What’re you trying to do?!”
“Stop arguing. He’s right! The Reaper has appeared and we can’t possibly win now. Instead of everyone being buried here, why not leave a chance of revenge for the Star Hunters…?”
Inside the Lightsoul, a fierce conflict erupted. However, the white-haired man paid no attention to it. He closed his eyes and directly steered the Lightsoul to change direction and charge into the void; he had chosen to flee.
“Give chase!” The Reaper pursued without a second thought.
“In terms of speed, the Reaper’s faster, but we might not be able to take it down! Once we leave the range of transmission stones and Master Chen, it will be difficult!” Lin Zhonghai said.
Up to that point, the Lightsoul hadn’t been dealt with! The white-haired man was too conservative and had inadvertently posed a challenge for Tianming and the others. The Reaper had already chased after it, but the outcome was completely unknown.
Just as Tianming was frowning, Yin Chen suddenly said, “Xiaodao’s astralship… has entered… my range!”
For Tianming and the others, that was fantastic news. Lin Xiaodao hadn’t disappointed them; he had arrived quickly enough. It was also thanks to the Sun moving back.
“He says… you guys… hold back… the enemy! He will… handle the… Lightsoul then… kill his… way back… to the… Sun. Hold… on on!”
“Got it!”
Wudi also received the same message.
As the opponent’s astralships diminished in number, the suppressive power of the Flameyellow Guard Formation increased and they were still fully engaged in delaying the enemy.
The Reaper was currently pursuing the enemy and the Gladean Ruins was catching up. They would focus on eliminating the escaping enemies!
“Evidently, my master’s made up his mind to annihilate them!”
Throughout the entire battle, the opponents had always been very cautious. Whenever they encountered a trap they would immediately flee, posing a challenge for Tianming and the others and making the situation extremely dangerous. Fortunately, they finally had a chance to deal with it once and for all and establish victory.
It all depended on Lin Xiaodao!
With the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb’s tail severed, its battle prowess had decreased to about seventy-five percent. Currently, Tianming didn’t dare to fuse with the Whitedragon Core in its state. Therefore, he continued on his journey, chasing down the ships around the sun, but those fellows had fled again.
“There’ll be at least one or two hundred ships left, but they’re all skypiercer class. They won’t have absolute suppression against a heliacal-class world. Moreover, they’re leaderless, so they might not dare to act recklessly. Although the number of astralships on Gladeus isn’t as great as the entire Star Hunters’ fleet, it’s still possible for us to hunt down skypiercer-class ships in various regions!” In other words, the reconnaissance ships wouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Now, the most important thing was to destroy the Lightsoul! “How’s the situation, Godfather?” Tianming asked as he pursued the enemy.
“That’s obvious. Believe in me! I may still just be a god, but I’m the most powerful one!” His situation was similar to Moran’s. They both relied on their wonders or formations in battles. Of course, his control over the Flameyellow Coffin was truly unique.
Tianming guessed that his Grand-Orient Sword and Prime Tower weren’t bad, either. However, compared to the Flameyellow Coffin, they still had a lot of missing parts, so they couldn’t achieve such remarkable effects.
“However, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb does indeed have a chance. It’s even more worthy of the current Sun!”
He and Wudi were both suppressing themselves and waiting.
Finally, Yin Chen brought the good news that the Gladean Ruins had caught up to Lightsoul. “It’s now! We must hold on!”
About twenty breaths later, Yin Chen reported that the Lightsoul had been breached, its occupants were scattering in all directions! In the chaotic starry sky, without the support of an astralship and its compressed nova source, even if Lin Xiaodao didn’t kill them, many of the astral gods would die in this boundless void. It was as if a ship had sunk into the vast sea.
“Next, we’ll wait for Master to return and launch the final battle to break into the Flameyellow Guard Formation! Their Big Boss and the Second Boss might not be killed by the astralship and we might need Master himself to take action!” Regardless, what he and Wudi had achieved today was already a miracle.
“Start collecting the spoils of war!” For a nascent world, everyone needed resources for cultivation. That was the most important thing. What Gladeus could contribute in that aspect wasn’t much at all. In fact, the wealth possessed by the fleet of Star Hunters would likely be several times greater than that of all of Gladeus!
