Chapter 2976 - Vulnerable
Chapter 2976 – Vulnerable
Under the dark clouds, the top astralships and astral gods from the Infinitum Regal Clans and major forces from all over Ebonia were finally assembled. In fact, Yi Daiyan had given the order to deploy their forces as soon as the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb destroyed the Starshatter Formation. The establishment of the Tianming Dynasty was just an excuse for them to go to war. However, the Ebonians could no longer sit still, even if they didn’t have such a justification.
Five million astralships and astral gods! It was the first time the Infinitum Bodhimanda had assembled such a powerful army. They were essentially coming out in full force. They didn’t have to worry about leaving an empty nest behind, because the ebons had been completely wiped out and the Ebonfiend had temporarily lost offensive power.
Eleven regal clans and thousands of major forces flaunted their majesty and might. The black astralships were arranged in an orderly formation and countless astral gods lit up the dark sky.
Their original goal was to swoop in and fight the Intrepideans and wonderians, playing the fisherman while the sandpiper and clam went to war.
However, a drastic turn of events had occurred on the Sun. At the moment, there was deathly silence on all ships as the astral gods froze in astonishment.
“Lin Feng killed Rex Mundi Meng Ying, Mister Taihe of Myriadpath Valley, Demoness Yin, all the elites of Intrepidus, and slaughtered the wonderians!”
“What!!”
Many exclaimed, losing their composure.
The Sun had relied on Xiaodao, the celestial tome, and astralships to defeat the ebons. But this time, they received news that Tianming had slaughtered several powerful foundationeers, Mister Taihe, Demoness Yin, Meng Ying, and four Intrepideans on his own. For the astral gods of the Infinitum Bodhimanda, those were elites that only Yi Daiyan could rival, yet a hundred-year-old young man had killed them!
“I don’t believe it!”
“I don’t either. Is this fake news?”
“Who’s spreading all the rumors?”
They couldn’t help but feel anxious. Although they claimed to reject the news, their trembling gazes revealed their true thoughts. They believed it in their hearts, because Lin Feng had been an incredible phenomenon from the beginning.
“Shut up! The news is true! Trillions of people witnessed it. There’s also wonderians who fled to Ebonia!”
The army’s high morale immediately deflated as fear of the Sun slowly crept into their hearts. They were afraid that they would follow in the footsteps of the ebons and wonderians and be annihilated at once, becoming a stepping stone for Tianming to reach the top. Only three or four regal clans truly supported Yi Daiyan, like the Yishker and Greenhill Yushan Clans.
The rest, such as the sanctlighters and Central Shuntian Clan, former allies of the ebons, had been forced to obey her. As soon as she was dead, they would kneel to the new ruler. The army of five million astral gods was far more disorganized and divided than the ebons. After all, they had been forcibly brought together in the name of the Infinitum Bodhimanda, which was the reason their hearts and minds were so restless upon learning the news.
“Rex Mundi!”
A white-haired, bright-eyed woman dressed in black stood in front of the army. Her cold eyes looked past the dark clouds at the scorching Sun not too far away. Yushan Taifeng and Yishker Sayedi, the two people most highly regarded by Yi Daiyan, emerged from their astralships and approached their rex mundi, appearing anxious and confused.
“Rex Mundi, the Sun…” Sayedi said, lowering her head, ears slightly trembling. She didn’t dare look up.
“I know. Continue gathering the troops and prepare to attack,” Yi Daiyan said.
“Yes!” Yushan Taifeng and Yishker Sayedi saluted.
Yi Daiyan’s calm was contagious. However, Yushan Taifeng still felt a slight twinge of apprehension. He was previously filled with passion and eagerness, as he believed he would soon be number two in the Infinitum Mundus, but the news from the Sun had hit him like a ton of bricks. Although he had always thought of Tianming as a junior, he found himself in awe of the names Lin Feng and Li Tianming.
Just as he was about to dispatch the army, Yushan Taifeng turned around and said, “Rex Mundi, Lin Feng appears to have undergone an unbelievable transformation. Right now, the rebels’ morale is at its highest, and according to reports, the Sun suffered little damage and few casualties. We might not benefit much if we attack them now…. With all due respect, I’d like to know if you’re sure of success?” He worded his question with caution.
A change of mentality right before battle was a big taboo.
As soon as Yushan Taifeng finished speaking, he felt a chill crawl up his spine. Without raising his head, he knew that Yi Daiyan was right in front of him as her cold, sinister aura enveloped him like countless resentful spirits. Even a man like Yushan Taifeng was so frightened that his hands and feet turned cold.
“My words were rash! Please forgive me!” he quickly said.
“Yes.” Yi Daiyan’s voice resembled falling icicles. “It doesn’t matter how many tricks he has. Once the child is gone, that world will be vulnerable.”
“Yes!” Yushan Taifeng understood what Yi Daiyan meant. The astralships and astral gods were merely a show of might, but the real battle would be between Yi Daiyan and Lin Feng.
“You don’t have to panic if I’m defeated. You aren’t wonderians. All you have to do is kneel to the new ruler and accept him as your master in order to live and lead the Infinitum Bodhimanda into a new era,” Yi Daiyan said.
Yushan Taifeng was astonished. “Rex Mundi, the Greenhill Yushan Clan is one with you. We’ll fight to the end together. There’s no surrendering.”
“The Yishker will follow you to the death! We have no regrets even if we die!” Sayedi said.
“Get the last team to move faster. We’ll set out in fifteen minutes, surround the rebels, and purge the Infinitum Bodhimanda!” Yi Daiyan waved her hand, gesturing for them to withdraw.
“Yes!”
Yushan Taifeng and Yishker Sayedi bowed and retreated, their eyes fiery.
If it came down to a duel between two top experts, they had confidence that Yi Daiyan, who possessed the Infinitum Stele, would emerge victorious. Tianming had obviously used some unfathomable means to forcibly increase his combat power in order to slaughter Demoness Yin, and had been severely injured on top of that. How could he compare to Yi Daiyan, who was first on the reges mundi ranking?
