Chapter 3798 - Birds Die for Food, People Die for Wealth

If a cosmic god descended upon the Lower Star Ruins, such a person could destroy an entire infinitum-class world with a single punch! To an existence like him, the entire Lower Star Ruins held no significance at all.

"It’s good that you’re safe." The crimson humanoid star raised his head and looked in the direction of the Middle Star Ruin. His eyes narrowed and blazing starlight shone within them.

"I see him. He didn’t chase after you. Wait here!" After saying that, he shot toward the Middle Star Ruin! His speed was indeed faster than a fortuna-class astralship, like a meteor streaking across the void.

As soon as he left, Yanri Shuang urgently said, "Why aren’t you running yet?"

"We get it, we’re leaving already!" Bai Ye’s voice was icy cold. "But we did underestimate a cosmic god."

"Underestimating a cosmic god? You all truly don’t know the concept of fear!" Yanri Shuang sneered.

"Don’t be so smug. If we die, you die too, so you’d better think hard on how to stall him!" Bai Ye menacingly chuckled. "Don’t forget we’re all in this together."

Yanri Shuang was speechless.

"Let's go!" The moment the cosmic god appeared, Tianming’s side had finished loading their cargo. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb accelerated as fast as it could, soaring in the direction of the Sun.

The nine-headed dragon towed countless shining middlekin stars as it fled. However, the stars left Tianming unable to cloak the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. From there on out, they would remain exposed throughout the journey.

He’d thought he had already overestimated the cosmic god’s abilities, but even so, the opponent still exceeded his imagination. It was clear that Fentian He was definitely going to catch up.

Anxiety filled the astralship.

He said nothing and simply accelerated at full speed. The astralship’s velocity continuously increased. Once they truly reached top speed in deep space, they could still shake off Fentian He over a long journey.

But the initial acceleration phase would be risky.

"So fast!"

"He’s coming!"

"What do we do?"

Inside the tomb, countless people panicked as a fiery radiance engulfed their entire field of vision. Amidst the boundless flames, a humanoid star shone incomparably bright. Over short distances, the cosmic sword piercing through space had a burst speed more than ten times that of the Imperial Tomb.

"At this rate, we won’t even make it out of this Middle Star Ruin before he catches up!" Long Qian’s face turned deathly pale as she turned to Tianming.

Everyone looked at Tianming. What else could they do?

Among the crowd, Tianming turned his head to look at the dazzling star-like light rapidly closing the distance. His expression remained calm as he continued piloting.

"Birds die for food, and people die for wealth. Li Tianming, you are very interesting... but your greed got the better of you." Fentian He’s voice already echoed throughout the astralship.

Tianming chose not to respond.

Everyone’s heartbeats raced as a scorching heat wave struck the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. They were doomed.

"Ji Ji, now!" Tianming suddenly commanded.

"Got it!" Behind the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, a long chain of middlekin stars trailed, with a pink infinitum-class middlekin star as its tail end. It had as much mass as Ebonia, but it was compressed to just 100,000 meters in diameter!

At that moment, the pink middlekin star detached. Ji Ji had deposited a third of herself inside that middlekin star.

People were puzzled. "Why’d they leave a middlekin star behind...?"

"Pink?" Fentian He noticed the pink middlekin star. Even with all his knowledge, he had never seen anything like it. However, he only needed an instant to pass by the weird middlekin star and reach the astralship.

But just as he neared it, his eyebrows furrowed and his head snapped in its direction. "It’s collapsing?! Impossible!"

Middlekin stars had extremely stable structures. The bigger they were, the harder they were to break or explode. That was why people dared to transport and introduce them into nova source worlds for gradual absorption.

And infinitum-class middlekin stars were the biggest and most stable of all.

However, Fentian He clearly witnessed the pink middlekin star’s structure suddenly disintegrate, naturally leading to the birth of a supernova! Inside the star, Ji Ji had activated Vaporize!

A destructive force surpassing that of even the explosion of a infinitum-class world violently erupted, shaking the entire universe!

"Oh shit!" Fentian He was dumbfounded. The next moment, he was swallowed up by the pink wave of destruction. He was simply too close.

From Yanri Shuang’s perspective, she saw a pink explosion a third the size of the Middle Star Ruin. It formed a terrifying stellar storm that reduced half of the continents in the Middle Star Ruin to cosmic dust!

The Ninessun was caught by the shockwaves as well, flipping multiple times as it was flung away. Yanri Shuang was tossed around inside, completely disoriented.

"What the hell...?" Her eyes were dazed, utterly shocked. She had assumed that Tianming was dead for sure, and that she would die, too. But... an infinitum-class middlekin star exploded?! Her eyes widened as she personally witnessed the Middle Star Ruin lose one-third of its continents. The remaining continents also suffered earthquakes and fractures.

It was like a divine miracle!

"Sorry, but we’re out of here!" Bai Ye’s smug voice rang in her mind. "My little sister’s pretty capable!"

Ji Ji, still retaining two-thirds of her mass, smugly laughed, "Screw you! I’m your Big Sis Seventh!"

Bai Ye fumed.

"They actually escaped?" Yanri Shuang snapped back to reality. They had really escaped under the pursuit of a cosmic god?

"Big Brother, are you okay?" she quickly used her transmission stone to ask.

Her call connected. A humanoid star emerged from the swirling dust clouds. His voice was hoarse as he replied, “Some minor injuries. But... I lost them."

"Thank goodness!" Yanri Shuang let out a relieved sigh.

"Thank goodness?" Fentian He looked at her.

"Thank goodness you aren’t hurt! I was so scared just now...." Yanri Shuang put on a pitiful expression and her heart skipped a beat inside; she had almost exposed herself. If she had, Fentian He would try to save her, but Bai Ye would have killed her without hesitation.

Fentian He was silent for a moment before saying, "I’ll come find you. Then I’ll report everything that happened here to the Midsky Tristars. Li Tianming’s threat level... must be raised to equal Long Xing."
