Chapter 3844 - Shattering the Cloak

There was nothing but silence in the dark void of space, which lacked both light and sound. Through it cruised a nine-headed mechanical dragon as it silently approached an abyss. The 1.5 billion flameyellow descendants within quietly watched the forty-meter-tall white-haired youth with passion. His hair alone was more than ten meters long. His black and gold eyes shone in the darkness.

After three years of rest, Ji Ji, Bai Ye, and Yin Chen's combat capabilities had recovered to full. Tianming was at the highest peak of his power, connected to five billion omnisentient threads. He was communicating with Long Xing through an infant soul he left at Starmoon Haven, and it seemed like Long Xing was ready as well.

"I heard Boss Chen’s already spread across Starmoon Haven. Boss Ye's soul power has also infiltrated the many mound cities and smaller settlements of the Eightpart Pantheons, right?" Long Xing said with some awe. Even after everything that had happened, he still found Tianming's arsenal outrageously otherworldly. He was simply unimaginable.

"Things are in place. What comes next is meeting their moves with our own." Tianming's voice contained a hint of killing intent.

Bai Ye was the one who had profited most from connecting with five billion omnisentient threads. Every single one of its soul seeds had changed. Though they were just overflowing astrons, they were incredibly effective against normal seventh foundation souls. It may have been only a third of the whole Celestial Sourcepath Progenitor, but it was already terrifying in its own right. Tianming looked forward to the return of its remaining pieces.

Soon, Starmoon Haven was within sight. "The Starmoon Guard Formation and their fusion formation have a total of twelve cores. The ones for the Starmoon Guard Formation are controlled by six cosmic gods, while the fusion formation is controlled by the registered owners of six maniverse-class ships. To save our kin, we have to kill those six cosmic gods to open up the Starmoon Guard Formation!" Tianming furrowed his brows.

"That's right. According to this formation's design, we can only obtain administrative rights over it when all six cosmic gods are killed. Having only five out of six cores is useless," Long Xing said, being a native of Starmoon Haven. Yin Chen had also dug out a lot of information that corroborated his knowledge.

Tianming had information on the six cosmic gods and ships. Fentian He, being a young cosmic god who left Starmoon Haven from time to time, definitely didn't have a formation core. Yanri Huang and Mo Shen each had one, while the remaining four were distributed among other powerful cosmic gods in Starmoon Haven.

As for the maniverse-class ships, Tianming needed to get at least one of them, as Yin Chen had discovered that those ships had the right to use the wormhole expressway to reach Saturatia-49. All in all, Tianming had to kill nearly half of the cosmic gods in Starmoon Haven to be able to rescue his three billion kin. Otherwise, they would forever live in the shadow of their oppressors. The same was the case with the other two haven worlds.

The predicament that the flameyellow descendants faced was worse than ever before, thanks to upstarts like Tianming and Long Xing. Many had already died, and yet more were suffering oppression in corners of the universe that most simply weren't privy to. Tianming was well aware that it was happening, hence his inability to sit still and let it pass.

Wargod Haven, especially, didn't treat the flameyellow descendants as humans at all. The more notorious Tianming became, the more gleefully and painfully the devas killed off the flameyellow descendants, and there was nothing Tianming could do about it for now.

"This is too difficult!" Long Xing shook his head in frustration. "I know that you're impressive, but we're only two people. Even with Boss Chen and Boss Ye to find opportunities for us to make use of, exterminating those cosmic gods for their formation cores is still too daunting of a task."

That wasn't surprising. If the cores of a fortuna-class world had been easy to steal, someone stronger would have already taken over the world.

"No doubt, they must be incredibly wary about those cores being stolen, so they're hiding within their mound-city strongholds to protect their citizens. It's clear that they want to draw things out and keep us at bay," he added. They weren't afraid of their enemies being careful, but rather seeking out reinforcements! It was definitely possible; the plotting of cosmic gods wasn’t to be underestimated. Even if Tianming had a chance to act, he had to take risks to end things fast.

"Brother Long Xing," Tianming said, holding his chin high, "since we've chosen to rebel, there's no point in overthinking things. There’s only one path available to us: fighting without the possibility of retreat! Fortunately, I’m able to become one with the five billion of our kin and be empowered by their faith. It's time we made our move!"

They had already discussed the details of their plan. The Yin Chens that couldn't be completely wiped out by cosmic sense still remained all over Starmoon Haven, not to mention Bai Ye's hidden soul seeds. Those would be key in the upcoming battle.

"Alright." Long Xing resolved to commit himself to the fight. He had waited so many years for a day like this to come, and as such had long done the work of keeping track of the cosmic gods that needed hunting.

"The cloaking formation of Starmoon Haven is right ahead." Every astralguard formation in the Upper Star Ruin came with a cloaking formation to keep the world hidden.

Suddenly, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb came to a halt as Tianming diverted its nova source to its divine astralship formation. The maniverse-class ship shone in the dark of space, fueled by boundless nova source. It glowed just as bright as stars! The divine astralship formation rapidly charged up to its full capacity.

"Shatter!"

The resulting blast was a declaration of war. The ship rumbled time and again, parts of its formation igniting. Terrifying destructive forces gathered at the nine dragon heads, then, with the full might of a maniverse-class astralship, it used Manicrest Dragonsource! The boundless nova source that gathered layered upon itself over and over, forming a dense sphere of volatile energy that glowed brighter than skypiercer-class worlds.

Tianming pushed a button within the ship, unleashing an ear-shaking blast stream onto the cloaking formation. The formation, which had already suffered a blast from a middlekin-star explosion, was once more torn apart! The blast, like a stone through a glass window, caused cracks to form and spread across the formation. As the chain explosions spread, the star turned brighter and brighter as the cloaking failed, revealing a rainbow-colored fortuna-class world for all in the Upper Star Ruin to see.
