Chapter 2901 – I’ll Stay Alive!

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Tianming was dumbfounded as he double-checked the nine manna, repeatedly counting each aperture. Whether it was the fortress of fire, the fortress of vajra, or the imperial fortress shining with golden radiance, each of them had a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine apertures.

Not one less!

Spherical ordered manna had a limit of nine apertures. For the hive-shaped ordered manna, the limit was ninety-nine apertures. These nine hundred and ninety-nine aperture manna were likely at the limit for fortress-shaped ordered manna.

He knew that both Yi Daiyan and Mister Taihe were foundationeers, but they were explorers on their paths and were by no means at the peak.

But a beast with nine million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand stars was undoubtedly at the pinnacle of the Foundation stage!

Thus, a problem arose. His lifebound beasts hadn’t even become cosmic cartographers and had just upgraded to nine hundred thousand stars by relying on their bloodlines to digest the manna. And now, the manna in front of him had over ten times the number of apertures as the last ones they’d used.

“The leap is too wide. It’s easy to screw this up, and screwed they’ll be if they fail.” Tianming couldn’t help but knead his forehead.

“Bet you’re looking forward to being screwed,” Ying Huo teased.

“Are you stupid?” Tianming grabbed its neck, staring at it. “It’s you guys who absorb the manna, not me. So even if there’s suffering, it’s yours!”

“Oh, right….” Ying Huo was stunned.

“Fool!” Tianming tossed it aside. He looked at the super manna, feeling a mix of exasperation, laughter, love, and hate.

“Forget it, you guys are too good for me to catch up.” He walked out of the secret chamber. Three men faced each other at the door, all at a loss.

“How do you feel?” Xiaodao asked.

“Isn’t there one suitable for your companion? Why don’t you try it?” Tianming suggested. After all, Xiaodao had already reached the Foundation stage and urgently needed a fortress-shaped manna.

“Are you serious? I dare not! I think they’d all die to anything over two hundred apertures, let alone this.” Xiaodao was at a loss.

“Then why ask me? I’m still at the twelfth level of the Order stage.” Tianming rolled his eyes. He was already heaven-defying enough for his Order stage lifebound beasts to be able to absorb Cosmic Cartography–stage manna.

“So it’s unusable. You two are useless!” Wudi looked disgusted. He had finally opened this secret chamber with high expectations, but it’d turned out to be useless. The feeling of anticipating something and then being disappointed was extremely frustrating.

And at that moment, Yin Chen reminded them that the experts from Myriadpath Valley and Intrepidus were arriving.

“They seem… to be… discussing and… making deployments,” Yin Chen said.

“Can you hear what they’re saying?” Tianming asked.

“I can’t!”

When experts were on guard, they wouldn’t let Yin Chen approach so easily.

“Roughly how many people?”

“Hundred plus.”

“Foundationeers?”

“Eight including… Shenxi Xingtian… and that… Meng Ying.”

Eight! The number was confirmed. Although they had known they’d be outnumbered for a long time, when the people really arrived, the locals felt a headache and furrowed their brows.

“We can only hope that Yi Daiyan can kill a few more,” Xiaodao said.

“I just don’t know how the strongest one or two on their side compare to Yi Daiyan,” Wudi mused.

Tianming shook his head. That was something that couldn’t be judged for the time being. They didn’t know exactly how strong Yi Daiyan was, let alone the details of the other side.

“It’s not just eight Foundation stage experts. Most of the godshades that came from Intrepidus are eleventh- and twelfth-level cosmic cartographers! They probably don’t even have any tenth-level cosmic cartographers. And with the ebons and wonderians, they’ve probably got three times more experts than the combined forces of our Infinitum Bodhimanda.”

That level was already above Dongshen Zhuojun. The Sun only had four such people! There would be a few more, if the Infinitum Regal Clans were considered, but at most they would be on par with the ebons. The wonderians and godshades simply had too many experts.

“Meaning, in terms of peak combat power, the other side is definitely overwhelming.” Wudi frowned.

“What advantages do we have?” Tianming asked through gritted teeth.

“Astralships?” Wudi asked.

“Those won’t work. These astral gods are getting more cautious. The seven million astral gods outside are all dispersed around the Sun. When they attack, they’ll do so while remaining scattered! Astralships can’t possibly hit them. Unless they gather several million people outside the Sky Palace Formation, where there may be a slight chance of hitting them. But it’s still very unlikely.” Xiaodao shook his head.

“The only advantage is the formation itself. Because the other side doesn’t have any astralships, it’s theoretically impossible to break through such a thick barrier relying on manpower and cosmic artifacts. As long as Yi Daiyan locks down the Ebonfiend on Ebonia, even if those wonderians and peak experts invade the Sun, they’ll still fail to pass the barrier of the Sky Palace Formation.” Tianming, as the controller of the fusion foundation, knew best how solid it was now.

“The Sky Palace Formation is only a barrier, our last retreat. It’s strong, but it just can’t be allowed to go wrong. Once there’s an error, tens of trillions of living beings will all be finished!” That had been spoken by many people. However, saying it just before the enemy’s arrival was still very depressing.

“In any case, for the seven million astral gods outside to be effective, they have to pass through the flame-protected boundary of the Flameyellow Guard Formation. You guys guard the Sky Palace Formation first, and I’ll go out and kill the enemies! I’ll kill as many as I can before they pass through! I hope these bastards will all be buried in the sea of fire!” Wudi sneered.

The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and the Gladean Ruins were big targets, so it wasn’t easy to go out now. However, Wudi’s Flameyellow Coffin was agile, and the Flameyellow Guard Formation was his battlefield. As long as he was there, no one could catch him.

“Godfather!” Tianming grabbed his arms tightly, eyes blazing.

“What?” Wudi asked with clenched teeth.

“We’ll leave the Flameyellow Guard Formation to you, but you’re impulsive, so you have to listen to the two of us!” Tianming said.

“Nonsense, I know how to endure better than you.” Wudi rolled his eyes.

“That.. that’s true. You look rough, but you’re actually meticulous,” Tianming confirmed.

“Hey, watch your words!” Wudi glared.

Xiaodao laughed upon seeing their antics.

“But there’s something I have to say,” Tianming insisted.

“Let it all out,” Wudi said.

“Firstly, don’t actively approach the strongest people on the other side. We’re temporarily unclear about their power levels, so don’t get involved with them in any way,” Tianming said.

“What else?” Wudi asked.

“Secondly, don’t be in a hurry to use the puppet. The first time you use it, you must create the best effect. In plain terms, we’re facing a confrontation between strong individuals. You have to appear weak to draw them into the trap,” Tianming said.

“Isn’t that just pretending to be a pig to catch a tiger? Last time, I made Meng Ying cough up blood like that,” Wudi said.

In truth, Tianming trusted him, but as decision-makers, each plan was too crucial and involved the fate of the entire world!

“Relax, good disciple,” Xiaodao patted Tianming’s shoulder.

“Okay!”

“The enemy army’s making a move—I’ll go up first,” Wudi said.

“Godfather!” Tianming and Wudi tightly embraced each other. The camaraderie of men was filled with passion “Stay alive!”

“I will!” Wudi vigorously said. After saying that, he entered the Flameyellow Coffin and it soared into the sky, entering the pink sea of fire above.
