Chapter 2596 - A Ragtag Group

The thieves were completely crazy. The Sky Palace Formation had to remain sealed until they were completely wiped out.

"With the sanctuary-cla.s.s cloaking formation fully activated, the Sun will be able to remain hidden better. It wont be easy to find it in the vast cosmos." That ability was what the Star Hunters coveted most; as thieves, they couldnt have a conspicuous base.

"Grandfather said that the Ebonfiend hasnt moved. One of their people has actually seen it. The Reaper took the opportunity to transfer a hundred thousand astral G.o.ds from Gladeus, half of which are from the tenth branch." The rest were part of the stars local forces that supported Lin Xiaodao.

It took Tianming about ten days to break through to the fifth astral phase. Over that time, the Reaper had completed a round trip and had just brought those astral G.o.ds to the battlefield on the Sun. The hand-to-hand battle between astral G.o.ds had just begun.

Over a hundred thousand Gladeans versus a hundred thousand Star Hunters! Neither side had a numerical advantage over the other, but because of Yin Chen, the astral G.o.ds from Gladeus had a great advantage.

"First of all, many of the astral G.o.ds from the Star Hunters were severely injured during the attack on the Flameyellow Guard Formation and the explosion of their astrals.h.i.+ps. Theres no way they can recover in just ten days. Some lost their lifebound beasts in battle, while others had their totems destroyed! Secondly, theyre scared out of their wits. They cant escape and they have very little confidence in winning the battle. Most of them are trying to flee. Lastly, and most importantly, Yin Chen has the entire sun covered and its gravity isnt that high. Yin Chen has spread out so theres basically no blind spots. Itll be difficult to deal with the Star Hunters if they come together, but Master will attack with the Gladean Ruins as soon as they show any signs of a.s.sembling!"

The Sun was flat now, without any high mountains. Unlike Gladeus and Ebonia, the earth was thick and solid in the underground world, making it impossible for a large group of people to hide. There was no advantage in attacking scattered enemies with an astrals.h.i.+p. However, if their enemies tried to gather without one, they would be living targets.

Thus, Lin Xiaodao didn't have to do anything yet and would only attack when they gathered.

Of course, that would only work with Yin Chen around. Otherwise, there was no way of knowing where they would gather. According to Yin Chen, the largest group now consisted of only a few hundred Star Hunters.

"The astral G.o.ds from Gladeus have a huge advantage over the Star Hunters because Yin Chens locked onto them and created the conditions for an unequal fight of ten versus one on the battlefield. We can deal with them little by little instead of in a head-to-head confrontation between a hundred thousand Gladeans and a hundred thousand Star Hunters."

If they were to fight such a battle, tens of thousands of Gladeans would perish and that wasnt necessary at all. Their opponents were sitting ducks without an astrals.h.i.+p; after all, they were trapped on the Sun, which was under Yin Chens control. Those were all factors in creating the perfect opportunity to knock them down one by one.

"The so-called Star Hunters are nothing but a ragtag group once theyve been separated." They were a frightened, hopeless bunch.

"However, the ebons on Ebonia still pose a great threat. We cant move the battle to Gladeus or the Sun. Neither star is suitable. We have to wipe out these thieves as quickly as possible." Efficiency was key! Although there were only a hundred thousand astral G.o.ds, they had probably taken away most of the a.s.sets on the astrals.h.i.+ps. Taking them down would mean complete victory.

"Let me help, too!"

Following Lin Xiaodao and Yin Chens arrangements, a comprehensive battle to wipe out the enemy began. Now that the astrals.h.i.+p battle was over, hand-to-hand combat broke out all over the sun. Lin Xiaodao left the Gladean Ruins and personally led the Gladeans in battle. Wherever he pa.s.sed, he left mountains of corpses and seas of blood behind. Of course, most of the credit went to Yin Chen. Without it, it would take hundreds of years to kill all of them, or perhaps more.

There was no peace on the Sun. Tianming was careful. He flew out in the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. Now that the Gladean Ruins was inactive, he had taken over Lin Xiaodao's previous job. As long as the enemy gathered in a large group, he would immediately fly over and blow them up!

The tomb wasnt this powerful before, but now its no problem at all!

Most of the astral G.o.ds were at the Order stage. It would be almost impossible for them to break into the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and kill Tianming, who was remaining careful because the mysterious and powerful big boss was still out there. He was also their biggest target. After abandoning the Traceless, he fled upward. The man's ability to hide his whereabouts was frightening, so Wudi had no choice but to suppress him and force him to the surface.

"To put it bluntly, if he escapes, hes destined to die in s.p.a.ce... but he might attract other enemies to us while hes alive. And if hes forced to go down, he wont be able to escape, but he might also lie dormant and wait for an opportunity to kill us," Lin Xiaodao said to Tianming.

"I know!" The Sun would be in danger as long as the Big Boss remained alive. "We must find him!" Tianming said, narrowing his eyes.

The current Ninedragon Imperial Tomb gave him confidence.

"Big Brother, do you think hell go crazy and attack you?" Feiling asked.

"It's possible.... Even if hes lost so much, itll still be considered a win if he takes me down, Tianming said.

"Then whys he in a hurry?" Feiling asked.

"That's because... in a few days, his astral G.o.ds will all be dead and hell be all alone. Even if he kills me then, there wont be any Star Hunters left. If he acts now, he can still turn things around. Manpower is everything, Tianming explained.

"So what should we do?" Xiaoxiao asked.

"We don't need to do anything. Well just continue what were doing. Now that hes reached this point, hell naturally come to me if he wants to kill me. When that happens, itll be up to Little Fish to hold him back until Old Lin and my G.o.dfather arrive, Tianming said.

The wonderians divine wonders were very useful for restraining people, and Feiling's Perpetia City would also be helpful.

"Yeah!" Moran took a deep breath, feeling a little anxious.

Now that Tianming had a plan, he was very relaxed and started having some fun. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb patrolled the entire sanctuary-cla.s.s Sun.

The Star Hunters could also communicate with one another within the Sun through transmission stones. They were being targeted and could probably guess that Tianming saw the whole picture. Therefore, gathering together to fight was the only way they could survive. After all, there wasnt much difference in strength between both sides.
