Chapter 1065 - Die, Rascal!

Translator: BOTA Fireteam

The twelve totems and two hounds combined were even stronger than Liu Qinghuan. The only reason Lan Huang and the rest had endured so far, despite the damage they had taken,was due to how impressive the Greenspark Tower was. But when it was getting really dangerous, Tianming managed to kill Liu Qinghuan with his decapath era godswords, giving Ying Huo and the others renewed hope. The two hounds that had lost their master were rampaging over their loss.

"You think numbers will do you any good?" Tianming joined the fray with his totems. At the very least, he and his totems combined were about equivalent to the combined prowess of his four beasts, allowing him to completely turn the tables!

"Are you crazy? No matter how talented you are, going against the divine moonrace is the same as going against the celestial orderians!" cried a grand moon guide.

Tianming didn't utter a sound and merely glared at them coldly. Now that he and his totems had joined the fray, their fighting capability was doubled!

"Quick!" Tianming urged as his godswords joined his beasts to attack. Meow Meow handed Tianming the two grand moon guides and their totems, then went to support Lan Huang.

He descended and used Sight Across Shores once more, slashing down with his totems in an explosive blow. Sword ki oozed out of the sword formation as it hovered above the heads of the two grand moon guides before slashing through. Their totems completely crumbled from the force, allowing Tianming to shoot straight toward the moon guides. With two quick slashes, they fell. Yueshen Wushuang included, the five grand moon guides that had been protecting the formation core were all dead.

Meanwhile, Ying Huo and the rest had turned the tables on the two ninth-level ascendant beasts with three thousand stars each. It was their turn to gang up on their foes. With Liu Qinghuan dead, the hounds were also determined to fight to their bitter end as well. However, the numbers were now against them. Not to mention, Xian Xian's Evernight Curse and Trisoul Fiendsong were starting to work their magic. The vitae of lifebound beasts weren't that strong, so they were more susceptible to confusion and that heavily affected their capabilities.

Ying Huo's Cosmic Blade feathers blasted out as it used Skyscorch Featherblast, cutting through the desolate forgehound's throat. That wasn't all, though, as it also used Death Inferno in tandem with Xian Xian's Bloodrain Swords to completely blast away at the hound's body before following it up with the Hexapath Samsara Sword to finish the deed.

"No, nooo!" the hound cried, but Ying Huo showed no mercy and cut its head off.

"Who's your daddy now?" Though it was covered in blood, Ying Huo looked really imposing.

All that was left was the desolate seadragon hound. Meow Meow, in its Regal Chaosfiend form, fought alongside Lan Huang, pinning the hound flat on the ground before lightning and a giant sword-tail struck it down. Meow Meow shot Cosmic Lances at the hound's throat as Lan Huang used its Astralfiend's Sword tail to execute Daybreak Worldslash, decapitating it with the power of water and mountains. The two beheaded dogs' heads rolled, still wide-eyed.

Lan Huang stood tall as its heads roared while it triumphantly slammed its chest with its two claws. The sheer volume of the sound caused the lakewater to shake. Now, everyone who had seen Tianming's ten totems was dead. The battle hadn’t taken too long, as they didn't waste time talking but focused on the fight. However, Tianming wasn't in any mood to celebrate. He hadn’t killed because he wanted to; destroying the formation core had always been his only goal.

"Quick!" Tianming swiftly put his six other totems away.

"Alright!"

The five of them charged into the lake as people started flooding toward them.

"At the end of the day, I don't want to resort to entering the Prime Tower and letting it fall into Sovereign Xi's hands." Even if he could survive by doing so, he would be stuck in a passive position. "As long as Bodhi enters the city, there's no way Sovereign Xi can leave this place!"

Only then would Tianming gain true freedom. Perhaps even the imperial guide would stay behind. If the both of them left, nobody would be able to stop Bodhi's massacre.

"There's something even more worrying, though…" Did Sovereign Xi know that he had come from the Flameyellow Continent? If he didn't cooperate, would she take action against them? Either way, by keeping the sovereign occupied with Bodhi and sending the divine moonrace spiraling into chaos, Tianming would be able to do quite a lot. He had come to understand how important it was for him to turn things around before the nova source pulse. It was do or die, and with the obstructions now gone, the five of them went full throttle with sabotaging the formation core.

Lan Huang and Xian Xian continued gurgling down the water, while Ying Huo and Meow Meow attacked the lake as best they could to make as much of it evaporate as possible. Tianming also used his totems to destroy the divine patterns of the lakewater by flinging them out of the lake. The Divine Moon Skylake shook nonstop with nobody there to stop them, accelerating the crumbling of the Brightmoon Divine Formation at a rate twice as fast as when they had first started. The people who just came were initially relaxed at the thought that the saint moon guide and the rest would have the situation under control, but now they were in full panic mode.

"What's going on?"

"Why hasn't it stopped yet? Is the imperial guide not at the Moonnight Patio?"

The city began falling into chaos once more. The royals, especially, were panicking as they saw the formation above them crumble and crack despite being tens of meters thick. Soon, the cracks began spreading in a weblike pattern and cries of panic could be heard all over. Nobody could ever have guessed that Tianming was the one behind all this.

To Tianming, both the obsessively detailed sovereign and the lethal Bodhi could end him. He couldn't afford to sit around and wait for either of them to get to him. As the destruction continued, two more grand moon guides came flying, having just cut short a lecture. These were the first batch of reinforcements to arrive and were the fastest to respond, but they were too late to stop Tianming's overwhelmingly swift dispatch of the ones who were there before with the help of his lifebound beasts.

"Die, rascal!" the grand moon guides cried. However, the lakewater splashed out toward them to stop their way. By the time the two grand moon guides dove into the lake, three more came flying, but not even they were able to stop the damage occurring to the lake.

"Break!" Tianming cried, and the lake was completely devastated. With the water scattered all over, the formation core was finally ruined.

"It worked!" He turned to look up and heard a large explosion as he watched the formation shatter like the Skysource Hellshaker Formation had. The moonlight-like glow seemed to have vanished. Instead, the clouds directly above them were visible.

"The Brightmoon Divine Formation is finally gone."

The city was completely undefended from invaders. The next instant, countless people in the city shrieked as blood drained from their faces. The formation was left unused during times of peace, but nowadays, more than ten thousand of them had been killed by the ruthless murderer.

"What is…"

"It's over!"

"What kind of beast did this?"

Cries of despair continued ringing out. The five grand moon guides were shocked to see who had been behind it all. "It's Li Tianming!"

They coldly looked at him as his lifebound beasts retreated into his lifebound space, apart from Meow Meow, whom he mounted. "So long, everyone."

He carved a word with sword ki into the doors of the building that had crumbled before Meow Meow zipped away as quickly as possible. In an instant, they vanished from before the eyes of the grand moon guides.

"Stop!" they howled, but Tianming was already gone, and nobody knew where.

"What do we do?"

"Where's the saint moon guide and the other five? It's their shift today, but they're not here!"

"They're… here…"

The rest turned and saw the corpses strewn across the ground. The carcasses of the two headless hounds also surfaced from the bloodstained lakewater.

"The saint moon guide's dead. Who killed him?"

"It was Li Tianming!"

"How in the world did he get in here?"
