Chapter 2945 - Intrepideans Exterminated
Mister Taihe and Demoness Yin seemed pretty intense and immediately had their foundation fortresses descend on Tianming. Demoness Yin's fortress was filled with fresh blood, savagery, and slaughter while Mister Taihe's, on the other hand, was a pale fortress filled with hungry ghosts, carrying the order of voracious violence.
All the while, Demoness Yin guided her blood-colored thread to attack Tianming using her needle. Mister Taihe himself came directly charging at him. After witnessing the destruction of the Starshatter Formation, killing Tianming seemed like the only way to make things right again; he was the core of it all, after all.
"Li Tianming, we gave you a chance to surrender so that your people may live, yet you didn't appreciate it and insisted on turning against us. You have to pay for your foolish mistakes! I said that you alone would bear the cost of everything, and this is just the start of your doom!" Demoness Yin mocked, coldly cackling.
As Mister Taihe advanced, the ground itself shook.
"How dare you kill foundationeers of Intrepidus?! You deserve to die!" cried the other Intrepideans.
Facing all of that, Tianming's expression didn’t change in the slightest. He watched as the two elites' attacks were just about to swallow him up and snuff his life out in an instant. With a low voice, he roared, "As long as I live, don't even dream of showing off how powerful you are before me!"
As he said that, the mountains beneath his feet began rumbling and the ground cracked open, revealing a deep abyss! Pink light poured out from beneath him as a pink star emerged from the crack in the ground. Right after that, the Sun returned to its original color; the flaming clouds above turned from pink to gold.
Tianming saw a pink source of light before him. On the pink star sat a girl with pink hair and eyes. With a scornful look and a bite of the lip, Ji Ji said, "What's going on?! Why’d you have to get me to self-destruct?!"
The pink star glowed brighter and more intense.
"What?!" Everyone from Myriadpath Valley and Intrepidus froze for a single instant, during which the gigantic pink star absorbed all that omnisentient power and grew a few times larger!
"Die!" Tianming cried. The internals of the pink star shook ten thousand times in a single moment, creating a terrible explosion—the First Aeonic Ancestral Star had gone supernova!
"All of you, die for me!" Tianming bellowed. The pink star's destruction sent out waves of destructive pink nova source storms all around Tianming, swallowing up everyone in an instant. Waves of smoke and gas millions of meters tall formed from the supernova. Like gigantic beasts, they hovered above the firmament and carried dust and debris to the outer walls of the Sky Palace Formation.
Wave after wave of aftershocks shook the world again and again. The destructive force of Ji Ji's self-destruction rivaled the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb's Fiendvore Dragonbreath, but unlike that, Ji Ji didn't need to spend time charging up a blast and could release all that energy in an instant. With all the enemies being so close at that moment, none of them could evade it!
When things finally began to settle, Tianming saw that a gorge about tens of thousands of meters deep had formed all the way to the Sky Palace Formation, within which, millions of people had lost their balance and fallen face-first to the ground! Ji Ji's self-destructive attack had been far too terrifying and its spiritform appeared much dimmer as it dozed off in Tianming's arms.
"I hope... that worked..." Ji Ji said as it gave Tianming a deep look, then fainted.
"Ji Ji..." To think that the feisty and youngest lifebound beast had grown up to the point that it chose to take a stand for everyone else! Its sacrificial attack was stronger than even the second totemic calamity of Tianming's decapath era godswords! Tianming had placed all the hopes of their survival in Ji Ji, and it was time to see the results of her efforts.
"I saw tens of Intrepidean cosmic cartographers having their cosmic charts entirely wiped out in that instant." Tianming looked around and couldn't see a single figure or sense any life signs. Perhaps they had all perished.
"Did they really all die? I bet the cosmic cartographers are gone, at least." Tianming was rather confident about that. There wasn't a single breath to be heard from the Intrepideans. "Either way, Intrepidus' casualties are immense. They lost two foundationeers and most of their peak-tier cosmic cartographers here! Demoness Yin, let's see if you'll be able to relax from now on. You thought this would be a quick trip to pilfer our treasures, eh? Even if you're still alive, I bet your heart’s bleeding from all that loss you feel!"
Tianming was ecstatic. Even if Demoness Yin could kill him, she wouldn't be able to get any of his treasures. She was bound to lose immensely from this exchange! She couldn't use the Grand-Orient Sword, and his Primordial Chaos Beasts had no relation to her whatsoever. Most of the things Tianming had simply couldn't be used by others.
Tianming let his laughter echo throughout the area. He knew that Ji Ji most likely hadn’t killed everyone, for he felt killing intent aimed at him once more, this time, stronger than the ones before by a few magnitudes!
Tianming looked through the dust clouds and saw puddles of water reforming into three figures. They were Demoness Yin and two of the other godshade foundationeers. Basically, all the foundationeers had survived the blast. However, aside from Demoness Yin, the starlight coming from the other two seemed much dimmer.
Demoness Yin, on the other hand, still stood tall and seductive like before. Her bosom, especially, still caught the eye. However, her expression had gone colder than it had ever been. She no longer looked at Tianming with teasing eyes; her eyes were filled with ultimate desire! Desire to make Tianming prostrate to her!
Aside from that, there was another threat! The next instant, a completely charred white-haired fiend charged out from the ground and appeared right before Tianming, glaring at him with his eerie pentapupiled eye. It was none other than Mister Taihe, and he didn't seem to have been harmed by the blast. However, the look he shot Tianming had completely changed. "Interesting.... Almost all your Intrepideans have been killed."
Demoness Yin gave him a harsh glare and her tongue trembled as she said, "Well, so long as you get it! I already told you that he's mine, so don't fight me for him! If I can't take him down and get something to show for it, everyone in Intrepidus will treat me like a sinner!"
Mister Taihe fell silent for a moment, then nodded. "Very well." The fact that even he took a step back showed how badly things had gone for Intrepidus.
