Chapter 4030 - Palatial Goldsparrow Flamewings

The Eightpart Pantheons had attacked the Ninelives Cave from many fronts, but the main forces only went for two of them. Once the two caves were conquered, they would be able to send their forces to crush the core of the Primordial Sands' forces within the cave, which would have caused heavy losses.

But with Dugu Meng and Jiu Zhigui's assaults thwarted, Tianming and the rest could divert their forces to the other chokepoint. They needed the right timing to succeed, but not only had Pu Lingyi not helped, he’d even used the chance to raid Tianming's 'home'! There was no way Tianming would let that slide. He rapidly made his way to Pu Lingyi while also having Jiang Feifei spread the word of what the coward was doing. As long as they learned the truth, they wouldn't pity him in the slightest.

Dammit! First, we had Jiang Yulian, and now there’s Pu Lingyi! Why are the crooks from the Primordial Sands so dastardly?!

Fortunately, there were also folks like Jiang Feifei, Lin Chaoge, and Jiang Datou to remedy the soured impression that Tianming had. Once the others who were still fighting heard what Pu Lingyi was up to, they would surely be able to notice an even greater gap between him and Tianming.

"Even now, Pu Lingyi’s trying to sabotage us!

He

shall bear the blame for the comrades we lost!" Jiang Datou roared, causing many others to answer in kind. Pu Lingyi's reputation had been completely ruined.

"Brother Lingyi!" The dozens of disciples that had tagged along with him were fraught with anxiety as their transmission stones rang nonstop.

"What?" Pu Lingyi coldly asked.

"Lin Feng killed Dugu Meng. The battle over there’s won! Thousands of Eightpart Pantheon disciples have been reduced to essence form!"

Pu Lingyi's expression twitched before he calmed down. "It's fine. We'll earn even more merit if we bring these little beastballs home! We’ll be the ones that create a historic legacy that’ll benefit everyone!"

As he couldn't capture that many little beastballs alone, he needed help. If each person among them could get twenty or thirty thousand of the little beastballs, it would be enough.

"But...." The others hesitated.

"But what?" Pu Lingyi asked.

"Jiang Feifei told everyone about what you did. They're all cursing at us, calling us opportunistic bastards that’re causing trouble while they're out there fighting for their lives!" They had already toned down the intensity of the comments compared to what was actually being reported to them through their transmission stones.

Everyone hated Pu Lingyi.

"Brother Lingyi, even if you go back now, you'd be a thorn in the side of many!" said a nervous girl. "Why don't we stop capturing these things and join the battle back there? If we apologize, we might—"

Pu Lingyi slapped her with full force, causing her face to burst apart, scattering chunks of astral flesh and blood. She spun a few times in the air before crashing to the ground.

"Brother Lingyi, why’d you hit me...?"

"Say that demotivating nonsense again and I won't just stop at hitting... I'll kill you!" He glared at the rest, sweeping his eyes across their faces. "Listen up! If the Primordial Sands is to grow stronger, someone must do what the others can't bring themselves to! It’s a necessary evil! Let Jiang Feifei and the rest be the good guys all they want, but they'll never be able to make any real impact. Only by taking the mantle of the bad guys can we gain something truly valuable! Even if people criticize us, future generations will thank me, Pu Lingyi, and all of you for what we've done! I

will

see this through no matter the cost!"

That finally calmed the rest down, albeit only slightly. They were still perplexed because they understood that what they were doing was incredibly inappropriate and selfish.

"This is a world where only the selfish bastards come out on top. Those who slavishly stick to the rules are retarded!" Right as Pu Lingyi said that, a purple beam of lightning instantly shot toward him. Tianming had flown millions of meters and landed a mighty kick on Pu Lingyi's mouth!

"You're the retard!" Tianming roared as the full force of Lan Huang's attacks exploded. The other Primordial Chaos Beasts also bombarded him with their abilities.

Pu Lingyi's teeth flew all over the place as his mouth was blasted apart. His tongue had been kicked so hard that it flew into his throat. Blood poured out of his gurgling mouth as he slammed into the wall, the force of which caused the back of his head to explode.

Stunned for a moment, he angrily got back up and glared at the mist-shrouded youth. "Lin Feng, the battles outside are still tight! How many comrades' lives have you risked while you came here to deal with your personal interests?! And to think that you called the Primordial Sands' people your friends!"

"Still trying to morally kidnap me, eh?" Tianming exploded with rage after hearing that. How could someone be so shameless?!

"Since you're here, I'll fight you fair and square to decide who owns these little beastballs. Don't complain if you lose," Pu Lingyi sneered, choosing to fight. If he ran from this, he would never rise up again. He looked behind Tianming and didn't see Moran and Zi Zhen, so he didn't feel as worried. "All you do is rely on those two women! There's no way you'd be able to kill Dugu Meng and Jiu Zhigui otherwise. Do you think you're really a one-man army? I'll have you know that I'm not an ashura without a warbeast...."

As he spoke, his body was covered in a golden light as he spread his golden primalwings. They had a wingspan of a thousand meters, looking like blazing metal. The sounds of metallic screeching rang out as they spread open. They looked like sixty-eight tiny golden swords, all incomparably sharp! The palatial goldsparrow flamewings packed quite a lot of destructive power. With them, Pu Lingyi's seven-hundred-meter-tall form appeared rather domineering.

The cosmic relic lance that appeared in his hand was a thousand meters long. Alkynic Golden Wisp was its name. It was famed in the Primordial Sands for being the weapon of choice for mighty heroes across many generations! Only someone as talented as Pu Lingyi would be picked to wield it.
