Chapter 1986

"Oh, thanks a lot for your high regards. But let's be honest. Skywolf has a lot of powerful people, yet all you know is to attack head-on without regard for any tactics. Do you see where that got you? What a waste. For a race that embodies nothing but greed and plunder, youll perish from that very greed you possess. After that, youll be the ones thatll be plundered clean. These are the consequences of your actions, understood?" the sun emperor said, as if everything had gone according to his initial plans.

"It won't be too late for you to utter those words after you defeat me. The only reason I didn't bother fighting dirty with you is that you have far too many dirty tricks up your sleeve. Who wouldve thought that this is far more than just a heliacal-cla.s.s world?" By this point, the two of them knew that further conversation was pointless. Victory was the only thing that mattered as the one who perished in this battle would have their world exterminated!

"Let's bet on this fight, then," the sun emperor said with a chuckle.

"Come!" Grand Emperor Starvore heartily roared. n.o.body would be interrupting their fight here. The storm that was unleashed grew stronger and stronger. The fight was one against two; white, gold, and crimson flames burned brightly in the sun. The colorful flames symbolized unbridled ferocity. All three of them reflected that in their nature, and their clash was even more explosive as a result. It was a battle to the death from which there would be no return! The surrounding landscape was instantly immolated. Anyone that wasn't a sovereign, yet attempted to interfere with the battle, would be quickly burnt to a crisp.

"My friend from Skywolf, do you still not understand?" The sun emperor hovered in the air with nine three-legged golden crows, brilliantly s.h.i.+ning. Opposite him was a red-haired version of him, mounted on his kunpeng and having nine grand beast totems hovering above him, a living incarnation of the flameyellow divinities. The two of them attacked from front and back!

The specter wolf in the middle fought all eighteen totems, as well as the two sovereigns, alone. He also had to be wary of the gigantic kunpeng's abilities. Not only was he unable to take them all on, he had to endure being pummeled by the Flameyellow Coffin, though he directly took it and sent it flying off! All one could see was a sea of flames, occasionally decorated by the silhouettes of a wolf, golden crows, a kunpeng, totems, and shades.

Throughout the entire fight, the sun emperor's grandiose laughter could be heard. "Youre fighting on my turf! This is the sun! There's another name for it that you'll never be able to touch! It bears the glorious history of our world, a world that used to be the king of star worlds! Our perfect people descended from the original denizens of this sacred, grand world. Mere animals like you will never be able to corrupt us! Your greed drove you to invade our territory, so youd better be ready to pay a heavy price! Remember how you failed today. Remember how you lowlives will never be able to touch the sanct.i.ty of our world!"

The sun emperor's laughter echoed nonstop. It was as if he had become one with the sun, inheriting the aura and will of the world. While Tianming had the hearts of the people, the sun emperor had the heart of the world siding with him!

"Ill show you what the judgment of an imperial star looks like!"

When the Flameyellow Coffin rose into the air, it endlessly grew in size as crimson-gold flames poured out into its surroundings.

"The glory of Flameyellow, race of countless rulers! Countless ancestors, grant me your divine power to protect our homes and slay these demons!" As the sun emperor's voice rang out, the coffin's lid suddenly opened up. Then a gigantic pillar of light shot up into the clouds toward the Flameyellow Guard Formation before turning into patterns that spread throughout the entire formation in an instant. Right after that, an immense amount of energy was siphoned from the Flameyellow Divine Pillars toward the formation above, gathering near the patterns where the Flameyellow Coffin was before flooding into the coffin itself.

The carvings all over the coffin seemed to come to life! Then, the two figures with gold and crimson hair respectively, appeared at both sides of the coffin like two pallbearers. The light from the coffin completely blurred them out before they seemed to fuse with the coffin.

Grand Emperor Starvore could barely see anything from all that light. "This is indeed his turf...." The unbelievable sight reinforced the sun emperor's prior words. Attempting to fight him here, and even being delusional enough to think that he could kill him, was a severe lapse in judgment.

After the two sun emperors fused with the coffin, it seemed to come to life. It was like a gigantic beast was looking at Grand Emperor Starvore as a predator would gaze at its prey. It radiated boundless divine might. It was as if the whole world was concentrated on the two people near the coffin. Could a divine miracle of such caliber really exist in a heliacal-cla.s.s world? A heliacal-cla.s.s world just like Violetglory? Grand Emperor Starvore knew that the sun emperor had many tricks, but surely this was too ridiculous to be one of them. Even a ferocious wolf like him felt cowed before the two people beside the coffin.

"The sun!" he howled, before charging so fast on all fours that he became a beam of lifeless white flame flas.h.i.+ng toward the coffin. He didn't want to accept it! He didn't want to imagine the possibilities his fears were true! It wasn't just him; far too many specters wouldn't be able to accept their loss. They had come to hunt, so they wouldn't accept being hunted in return, and by a mere rabbit, no less!

The two sides, one falling from the sky and the other charging skyward, neared each other more and more. When everything seemed to turn silent, the two meteors clashed, sending billowing shockwaves in all directions!

Tianming, despite being far away, could clearly see the crimson-gold meteor crash into the flaming lifeless white meteor, pus.h.i.+ng it all the way back into the ground. At the point of impact, dust clouds filled the skies. The earth uncontrollably shook as a web of cracks around a million meters in diameter formed! The entire sun shook furiously from the impact, seemingly having been sealed off by the cloud of dust that covered the entire world. Aftershocks continued rumbling nonstop as rivers and mountains blended together with the wreck and ruin.
