Chapter 2554 - Lightning Carnage Hellscape
The two could only bow their heads and wait. They knew that Yi Daiyan could definitely hear everything they said, so why didn't she respond? As the first rex mundi, she had to deal with the matter, and would have to shoulder most of the blame if anything worse were to happen. After all, she was still the rex mundi of the Infinitum Mundus, the ruler of trillions. Yushan Taifeng and Yishker Sayedi couldn't figure it out, so they waited in silence until the darkness seemed to engulf them.
Several hours later, Yushan Taifeng impatiently looked up.
"What?!" His eyes widened as he stared into the depths of the Land of Words Unspoken.
"What is that…."
Upon hearing him speak, Yishker Sayedi looked up as well. Their eyes trembled. Through the darkness, in the deepest part of the Land of the Words Unspoken, a pair of enormous, thin, transparent wings appeared in the dark sky. A colorful glow rippled across their surface, like countless rainbows combined, or two colorful waterfalls with a racing current of stars.
"It’s so beautiful."
The scene was like a mirage, or perhaps fireworks. It flashed for an instant, then disappeared forever. Everything in front of them was once again submerged in darkness. Yushan Taifeng and Yishker Sayedi couldn’t keep their composure. It wasn't until after everything was over that an ethereal voice resembling a light breeze came from the depths.
"With sacrifice comes eternity. You should go back.”
Despite how gentle she sounded, her voice carried a coercion which made the two nod, board their astralships with a blank look on their faces, and immediately leave while trying to make as little noise as possible.
……
Despite what had happened to Greenglow, neither the ebons nor Yi Daiyan responded. Lin Xiaodao had expected as much.
"Their opponent is the only thing they see. Although the Myriadstar Zone is important, how can it compare to the ebons’ future or Yi Daiyan's position?" He was well aware. Thus, the problem of the Star Hunters and the pressure of safeguarding the Myriadstar Zone fell entirely on him. All of the Infinitum Bodhimanda was watching his confrontation with the Star Hunters.
The Star Hunters’ astralships entered the Myriadstar Zone once more, but this time Yin Chen's monitoring range had increased tenfold, basically covering Gladeus, the Myriadstar Zone, and the area between the two. So even if the Gladean Ruins were to leave Gladeus, it would have enough time to turn around if the Ebonfiend appeared within the area surrounding the star under Yin Chen’s monitoring.
The Hellstar Formation had been activated, so Lin Xiaodao could both attack and defend. After analyzing the situation, he thought that the possibility of Shenxi Xingtian joining forces with the criminals was rather low. According to information sent from the Infinitum Swordsea, the Ebonfiend and the ebons’ main fleet were still on Ebonia. Thus, Lin Xiaodao put the ebons aside for the time being and focused on dealing with the Star Hunters' sneaky tactics. The countermeasure was simple: he would kill all who dared come.
The Star Hunters split up and came from all directions because they didn’t think that Lin Xiaodao could watch over such a big “orchard.” They were very careful this time, probing and testing the waters with just a few astralships. The Swordgod Lin Clan had seized the astralships belonging to the ebons on Gladeus, some of which had already been put to use. Although Yin Chen had discovered the enemy early on, it lured them into the Myriadstar Zone and laid in ambush.
The Star Hunters’ first operation failed. More than a dozen skypiercer-class astralships were wiped out, with all the bandits on board the ships dead.
"This victory means nothing. We might have the advantage of sight, but our astralships can’t compare to their fleet. If they attack in a large group, I’ll be forced to look for the Traceless or their other ether-class astralships!"
At the moment, the Star Hunters were testing them and wearing them down. Tianming was also worried that they would attack the ordinary folk once they failed. There was no stopping such evil. Thus, he spent his time trying to come up with a plan to completely wipe out the beasts. But other than sending Yin Chen out to monitor the situation, there was nothing else he could do for the time being. Lin Xiaodao told him to calm down and focus on cultivation.
"We’ll wait and set a trap when the sun arrives. Who knows? We might be able to wipe them out."
"Yes!"
Tianming and the girls moved from the Skyhold Palace to the Gladean Ruins. Tianming cycled between Starting City on the Skyhold Bridge, the foundation caeli of the flameyellow divinities, and the Imperator’s Mural. He had also officially started cultivating the Mural of Carnage. Every time he came there, he had to meditate for some time before he could forget the other eight murals. Only when he was completely focused on the mural in front of him could his caelum be sucked into the Lightning Carnage Hellscape.
Countless electric snakes surged in the sky and on the ground. The mountains, earth, and seas were all made of lightning. This entire world was filled with it. How was he to learn the sword in a place like this? Where was the sword?
His heart was weighed down by the massacre on Greenglow. The deafening roar of the Lightning Carnage Hellscape aroused the emotions in his heart and he was engulfed by rage. He exploded with the fury of an emperor, rabid in this tumultuous space
"Imperator Carnage! Perhaps you reign supreme, protect the people, and bring a prosperous era."
He looked at the earth, the sky, and the endless lightning that encapsulated his emotions. How could one split apart the heavens and earth with a finger for a sword? There was rage in this world, but not a sword. There was no reaching Carnage Imperatoris.
"Perhaps this world needs stronger, more imperative laws so the strong have reverence and the weak have hope."
He came to the realization that anger alone was useless. No matter how loud thunder was, it wouldn’t do anything without lightning.
"I have to calm down and search for the sword before seeking out the master of this world—Imperator Carnage!" Tianming took a deep breath.
Lightning struck his body as he moved forward, step by step, through countless trials. Using his finger as a sword, he split apart lightning and went searching for the majestic ancestor of the flameyellow divinities.
