Chapter 2479 - Two Major Developments

"Don’t move. Stay here!" Lin Xiaodao yelled, stumbling as he ran back to his astralship. He had obviously gone to a safe place to observe Gladeus’ nova source by studying both the astralguard and fusion formation cores. According to Ji Ji, its transformation of Gladeus’ nova source was basically complete. By attaching itself to this fifth-level nova source, its genesis ancestral nova source had multiplied and spread all over the world. Gladeus’ nova source had been dyed pink. But because Ji Ji's strength was limited, the gray nova source had only turned light pink, instead of the deep pink the sun had turned thanks to Ji Ji. However, there was about a thousand times difference in size between skypiercer-class and ether-class nova source. Even if it was merely light pink, Gladeus’ nova source was much larger in volume.

"In six hours, the entire surface of Gladeus and all these dark storms will be dyed pink! Ten days later, the netherclouds will turn pink as well. Gladeus will be a giant pink ball if one were to look at it from the stars! If Master directs nova source to the astralguard formation to accelerate the flow of power, then genesis ancestral nova source will combine with the hellstar reaper sword, making it more powerful and deadly. In the long run, there’ll also be traces of genesis ancestral nova source within cultivators on Gladeus."

Cultivating on Ebonia and cultivating on Gladeus, or even the ancestral world, was different, so of course, his progress would also be different.

"The deadly hellstar reaper sword is originally reaper sword ki. It’ll be even more violent after it turns pink and incorporates elements of destruction. It won’t be as harmless as it looks on the outside."

The pinker it was, the more terrifying its power. That was how the First Aeonic Ancestral Star camouflaged itself. Tianming explained everything to Lin Xiaodao. For the time being, outsiders only knew that Gladeus’ nova source had turned pink and was more powerful, but they didn't know the details. Lin Xiaodao controlled the two formations through their formation cores, so he had the opportunity to verify everything Tianming said—including the enhancement of the hellstar reaper swords. He could easily determine it by directing and circulating nova source. Lin Xiaodao was stunned. Ignoring the shock outside, he focused entirely on testing the new Hellstar Formation’s power.

"At least a thirty percent increase! And with this destructive force, it might even reach forty percent!" Lin Xiaodao let out a cry of astonishment that resounded through the Reaper.

"It’s a miracle!"

The man wasn’t shocked that Feiling had become an astral god at the age of thirty, nor was he surprised by Tianming when he, a first-level astral god, defeated a seventh-level astral god. But he was dumbfounded by Tianming’s lifebound beast, which could transform a star’s nova source.

After repeating several times, the testing was complete. A large number of hellstar reaper swords were renewed. Although the netherclouds outside were still gray, the hellstar reaper swords were already pink. Gladeus was a combination of gray and pink from above. Those who were familiar with the star couldn’t understand what was happening. The hellstar reaper swords in the sky transformed even faster than the nova source storm that ravaged the entire star.

Those from the tenth branch who surrounded Tianming had begun to notice that the nova source rising from the ground had a pink glow. Areas where liquid nova source accumulated, like the Bladebath Palace, were turning more and more pink. There was a charming and sweet atmosphere, but they would all realize after absorbing the power that it wasn’t sweet at all; instead, it was violent, brutal, and deadly.

"What happened?"

"Why has the nova source changed?"

"It isn’t mild or gentle. It’s become more fierce, more destructive.…"

“This can’t be. Skycross Bladegrave must be the only area affected. How can such a large fifth-level nova source change? There’s no way it could change, not even if we supplemented it with an unowned nova source!"

After all, most unowned nova sources were skypiercer-class worlds at most. An unowned deific-class nova source was unlikely to form. Staring at Tianming in utter shock, they recalled that he had said he would turn the entire star pink.

Soon, people outside Bladebath Palace began speaking to them via transmission stones.

"There’s changes in the nova source over in Fuchong Province. The color of the hellstar reaper swords in the sky has also changed!"

"Same in the Kunling Province!"

"Report!"

"Report!"

More and more people contacted Lin Zhongtian and Lin Zhonghai. The places they reported were spread out over the entire star.

"My goodness, how could this be?"

"It’s a miracle! One that’s never happened in all history!"

With each word they spoke, people would look at Tianming in amazement. They couldn't figure out how he did it.

"In about ten days, the entire world will turn completely pink. Gladeus will look beautiful from the stars." After all, it was much larger than the sun. It would be resplendent.

"Lin Feng, how the hell...." Lin Zhongtian was so shocked he couldn’t speak coherently.

At that moment, a figure knocked Lin Zhongtian out of the way and appeared in front of Tianming.

"What the f—" Lin Zhongtian was just about to curse, but when he looked up, he realized it was Lin Xiaodao.

Aware of the Hellstar Formation’s increase in strength, Lin Xiaodao was a hundred times more excited than Lin Zhongtian. He flipped his hair and excitedly grabbed Tianming's arm. "My good disciple, you’re amazing! You’ve convinced me!" Looking up at the sky, he roared with laughter.

"That’s it? You’re not going to call me daddy after saying something nice?" Tianming laughed.

Lin Xiaodao froze.

On that day, every living creature on this fifth-level nova source world was startled. There was passionate discussion throughout Gladeus.

......

In the depths of ebon territory, a gold transmission stone appeared between a pair of golden eyes that were rather far apart. Tianxi’s figure materialized above the transmission stone.

"Father? You confirmed Lin Feng was taken to Gladeus by Lin Xiaodao?" Tianxi asked.

"Yes."

"So.…"

"There’s two major developments on Gladeus that appear to be caused by Lin Feng. Return right now."

"What developments?" Tianxi asked.

"Leave now. We’ll talk on your way back."

"Yes!"

His urgency meant it was a matter of importance.
