Chapter 3863 - Manipulate His Wonder

“Damn! You’re slippery!” Ying Huo was dumbfounded when he saw the close call.

“I just stay calm and keep going.” Tianming was trying to play it cool, but sweat was already pouring down his forehead. That was way too close! He couldn’t even bother pretending to act cool as he hurriedly took control of the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and fled into the void.

After widening the distance, Yin Chen said, “It’s fine! They’re injured! Can’t chase!”

Hearing that assessment, Tianming finally breathed a sigh of relief. “We’re safe!” He could finally give a definitive answer to everyone fighting alongside him inside the astralship.

When they heard his announcement, Moran, Long Qian, and the others finally felt the tension bleed out. Many had even been seriously injured from the collisions. Despite that, the once-in-a-lifetime experience made them burst into laughter.

“Luckily, they’re all astral gods. They wouldn’t die from being rattled around like that unless the explosion made it into the astralship.” Looking at all the cheering, Tianming’s eyes welled up with heat.

He suddenly turned back and looked toward Starmoon Haven, only to see that the explosions were still ongoing. The destructive blast was far stronger than the power of Manicrest Dragonsource. Even the fusion formation was shaken, and those cosmic gods were once again buried deep underground.

Continents and oceans were lost, while cities were wiped off the map. Countless Starfall and Sundown Pantheon members perished; it was surely the heaviest blow in the history of Starmoon Haven.

“Yunmo Mound was already the potential target with the fewest flameyellow descendants....”

Because Long Xing’s origin was Fentian Mound, the flameyellow descendants were concentrated in the southern hemisphere of Starmoon Haven, while the Yunmo Mound lay in the polar north.

“How are they doing?” Tianming asked Yin Chen.

“Of course... they’re crying! And the... crying is... getting worse!” Yin Chen cheerfully reported.

“Mmhmm....” Tianming felt good as well. “But they have the Worldgazer Skyeye, and they can locate Brother Long Xing. They’re definitely going to retaliate even harder! The next round will be even fiercer!” Now that Long Xing had gotten away, the enemy’s remaining cards were getting fewer and fewer.

Tianming took a deep breath and kept the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb moving at high speed, and soon arrived at the two cosmic-god essences.

“Are you alright?” Tianming asked.

“I’m okay!” Long Xing’s voice was a little hoarse. “I never dreamed I could actually escape.”

“You’ve never left Starmoon Haven in your life?” Tianming asked.

“Yeah,” Long Xing replied with an awkward laugh.

“The starry sky’s a sweet view, and the Imperial Star is beautiful too. From now on, I’ll show you all of it!” Tianming promised.

“Thanks!” Long Xing’s voice held a hint of a tremor.

“No need to thank me, we’re family!” Tianming nodded.

“Do you have a plan for what’s next?” Long Xing asked.

“The heavenly oath still gives us the initiative. And we also have a few cosmic gods hostages. Our hand’s grown stronger. The enemy only has the Worldgazer Skyeye left, and they’ll definitely keep using it! Next, I’ll observe their movements and react to whatever comes.” Tianming’s eyes burned with determination.

“Hei Xuan and Male Mo are already imprisoned. Wargod and Wondersky Havens won’t be able to sit still. Altogether, the Midsky Tristars have more than fifty cosmic gods!” Long Xing said with some concern.

“To save ten billion people, our personal strength is ultimately the key....” They only had himself and Long Xing as cosmic god-level fighters on his side, and Long Xing still needed time to recover.

“If we lure the cosmic gods of the Midsky Tristars to the Sun, we could add Li Wudi the Coffin Man to our forces, but that would expose the Sun. A fortuna-class world suddenly appearing in the Upper Star Ruin would be too suspicious,” he mused. At the moment, he had no other ways to follow up aside from continuing to raise his own cultivation. Long Xing was the same.

So even though today was technically a big win, the future was still covered in a fog of uncertainty.

“If the Midsky Tristars ignore the shame and request help from other fortuna-class worlds, or even from the Ninefold Hellstar, the situation will worsen,” Long Xing said.

“Our time’s running out....” Tianming looked out into the vast, dark void. The battlefield of the Upper Star Ruin was tougher than anywhere else!

“Do you have Fentian He, Hei Xuan, and Male Mo under complete control? Don’t give them the slightest chance to move, or the civilians will be in danger,” Long Xing said with concern.

“They’re under control!” Tianming’s eyes flashed. “You just focus on recovering. I’m going to give them another taste of fire!” Tianming had tested it and discovered that keeping a cosmic god essence under control only required Xian Xian and Bai Ye.

Fentian He’s cosmic god essence had been split into seven parts. They couldn’t be reassembled and he was already near death. Without miraculous resources, he probably couldn’t be saved.

As for Hei Xuan, Tianming had Xian Xian and Bai Ye give her “extra attention”. Her cosmic god essence was now four different colors, and Bai Ye had devoured most of her spiritform middlekin astrons. She was also on the verge of death.

Lastly, there was the wonderian, who was also the most troublesome. Tianming planned to give him another beating.

“Hey.” Moran softly called out to him. “Take me with you.”

Tianming, now over forty meters tall, chuckled and placed her on his shoulder. “What, you want a cosmic god’s wonder?”

Moran shook her head and whispered in his ear, “His wonder’s too massive. I probably can’t withstand it.”

“Oh, that’s a pity!” Tianming nodded. It made sense. It would be ridiculous if such a massive wonder could be absorbed by her and her sisters.

“But....” Unexpectedly, Moran’s tone changed slightly and she smiled.

“But what?” Tianming blinked.

“They say I’m the rebirth of Tian Jiu. I must have some special resonance with certain things. I just had a feeling. I can’t absorb his wonder, but I have an intuition that if his vita and terra are completely extinguished, leaving only the cosmic god essence behind, then maybe I can use his ‘corpse’ to channel his power and activate his cosmic god celestial patterns...” she softly said.

“And then?” Tianming’s eyes lit up.

“I’ll control his wonder!” Moran replied.

Tianming looked at the delicate beauty and asked, “You mean, if that wonderian’s soul is dead, you could basically use him as a mini astralship?” A wonder was definitely more useful than divine astralship formations in combat.

“It’s just a hunch! I still need to verify it,” Moran softly replied.

“They say a woman’s intuition is always right. If each of you fifty women only have fifty percent accuracy, that adds up to 2,500 percent!” Tianming grinned.

Moran rolled her eyes at him. “You really are a math genius.”
