Chapter 3577 - What a Noob

Tianming's speed far exceeded the divine envoys' expectations. They had thought that catching a tenth-level foundationeer would be child's play, only for them to lose him!

"What a genius! He's so fast!"

"That kid’s rather odd. He seems like a specter, but he's clearly human. He has abilities, too."

"We'll learn more once we dissect him."

"Everyone, let's not dally and capture him quickly."

Though their greed surged, they didn't let it get to their heads and maintained a cool attitude. With a flash of lightning, five beams of lightning rose up toward the clouds.

"Their divine wonders can strengthen them and even project domains outside their bodies?!" Tianming was shocked at how powerful they were. Even a single one of them was overwhelming, yet there were five pairs of two—ten in total! Ten super zeniths! "Hurry up!"

"I'm going as fast as I can! Shut up!" Meow Meow hissed.

Tianming could only thank Suishen Yao for helping him break through again. If it weren’t for that, he would have been turned into mincemeat by these five elites.

Behind him, ten divine wonders spread out to apply pressure on him. Even though he didn't turn back, he could feel ten boundless worlds encroaching upon him from behind, boasting immense control; if he was encircled by even a single one of those divine wonders, he would be dead for sure.

"Go faster! Faster!" He charged into the clouds of Wondrium at a speed much faster than a normal astralship's. The clouds were boundless and filled with illusions as the astralguard formation activated.

"What a slippery loach!" the gold-haired one laughed.

"Running like that’s pointless. We might've lost him if he’d chosen to hide in this star, but there's nothing he can do now that the astralguard formation’s been activated."

The wider the power gap, the shorter the chase through the astralscape would last!

"Is he trying to run toward his fortuna-class astralship?"

"We can easily break through something like that."

The more Tianming tried to run, the closer he was to death. It was like a loach that jumped toward the shore where its captors were.

"Messing with a loach in a Lower Star Ruin is pretty fun."

"Pay attention! Don’t be overconfident and mess this up. That child definitely has some secrets. If we can capture him, we'll gain something out of it," said the gold-haired wonderian.

"Of course!"

Though they were gleefully chatting, they had been expending all effort they could to chase down Tianming. They were so powerful that crushing him would be as easy as lifting a finger for them—if they caught him, of course!

But in the astralguard formation, Tianming seemed even more slippery. There had been a few chances, but the five divine envoys hadn’t managed to pin him down at all!

"What's up with you?" the gold-haired one said, turning back toward Fengqing Youmeng. Their voice boomed like thunder and shook her entire body.

Fengqing Youmeng immediately spat out blood and knelt. Sobbing, she pleaded, "Lord Envoy, my husband died a horrible death at his hands! Alone and widowed, I’m not able to rise to the level of a rex mundi. It’s very draining for me to use the formation core! My deepest apologies!"

"That child killed your parents

and

your husband?" It was no wonder Fengqing Youmeng hated Tianming so much!

"How pitiful. She’s badly suffered at the hands of that child. How can divine wonderians like us endure that kind of humiliation?!"

The five divine envoys fumed at the thought that a divine wonderian, even one of the Lower Star Ruins, had been so badly humiliated by an outsider. Their rage blended with their greed and they launched rampant attacks with their divine wonders, which were like ten gigantic sharks that spanned the sky in an attempt to encircle Tianming within the illusions of the formation.

"You, turn the formation off now!" the gold-haired one yelled, unable to stand it anymore. Not only did the formation not help with Tianming's capture, it even caused them a bit of trouble!

"Yes, immediately!" Fengqing Youmeng kowtowed hard on the ground.

"What a noob! No wonder you were bullied so bad. Looks like we have to get our landlords to increase the security!" the gold-haired one said. Fengqing Youmeng's incompetence allowed Tianming to escape into outer space. The divine envoys could finally unleash their wonders' full capabilities out in the vastness above.

"Everyone, take it seriously. If we let that loach slip away, we'll become laughingstocks!"

"Got it!"

Right as they left Wondrium, they heard a loud hum from above and saw a monochrome sphere approaching them.

"Is that the fortuna-class astralship?"

"It looks impressive!" They immediately had a rough guess of what it contained.

"That brat really thinks that’ll save him."

"Haha!"

The ten divine wonders gave chase. Tianming flew so quickly into the Blissful Union that he tumbled a few times before getting up. "Go!"

The ship began to power up and move.

"Do you think you can run in that turtle shell of yours?" Ten divine wonders immediately pressed down on the ship. Each of them had a different elemental aspect that they unleashed to hold the Blissful Union in place, layered on top of each other.

Suddenly, the Blissful Union began rotating. "Initiating wormhole expressway!" It tore an opening in the fabric of space and accelerated.

"Capture it!" The wonderians didn't seem the slightest bit surprised. Their divine wonders grabbed the sphere like hands. As long as they had a grip, they could participate in a tug of war until they destroyed the divine astralship formation and crippled its ability to travel. That was something they were fully confident about.

The Blissful Union accelerated more and more, but the divine envoys themselves were almost on the surface of the ship. Just then, the space ahead of them exploded open and countless colors formed a fiery flower in the void of space as the envoys looked on in shock.

"The wormhole expressway?!"

"We need to get away!"

"Holy shit! How can a fortuna-class ship open the wormhole expressway? One that we divine wonderians built, no less?!"

They hurriedly released their divine wonders and leapt off the Blissful Union, then watched as Tianming gave them the slip through the wormhole.
