An endless sea of fire spread out the moment the Divine Wrath and Ninedragon Apotheosis met. Fire rained from the clouds, pouring down onto the continents below and setting the world aflame!
Even Skywolf could see the nine-colored vortex that appeared in the flaming clouds from their position.
In the face of such an explosion, even the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb was knocked back. Tianmingâs people were thrown around as they suffered the collision force, the powerful shockwaves even making some peopleâs organs churn.
Despite that, Tianming was smiling. He had clearly seen that the Divine Sun Palace had come out worse. Relying on a Divine Wrath that relied on a backup core had caused the Divine Sun Palace to lose. The nine-colored energy sphere had exploded near the palace, knocking it out of the sky. It landed on one of the sunâs seas, creating a splash of magma as large as the Myriaddragon Mountains.
Regardless of whether or not the Divine Sun Palace had taken damage, it was a fact that, without the Solar Wheel, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb was stronger than the Divine Sun Palace! It also outstripped the Kilostar Capital, Primary Sphere, and the Greenvoid Abyss!
And that wasnât even its final form....
It was a heartening scene for all the Myriad Solar Sects. Before Tianming had appeared, it was exactly the Divine Sun Palace that had allowed the sovereign to suppress the myriad sects. They werenât much weaker, otherwise.
After the information made it to the Sky Palace Formation, there was a surge of faith. Even the newcomers from the Voidword Shrine and Dreamless Celestial Nation were pulled along with the flow and dragged into Tianmingâs whirlpool of faith, joining him on his path as the Myriad Solar Sectsâ momentum hit an all-time high. Thus, the seed of a super empire was born in the Sky Palace Formation.
The celestial orderians had undoubtedly received advance warning of Skywolfâs invasion. However, their information network was poorer. Not many saw the Divine Sun Palace lose, so the celestial orderians were all preparing for a battle above the flaming clouds. That was why Tianming didnât continue to use the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb to go in for the kill.
As expected, the Divine Sun Palace had suffered some damage, but it wasnât that easy to really destroy it. Tianming saw it quickly make its way back to the flaming clouds in front of Tianming.
Within the palace, the sun emperor was loudly laughing and acting nothing like the defeated. Instead, he was even more excited. âIt was as I predicted.â
The words were unexpected.
âNot bad, Li Tianming. Youâre even more troublesome than I expected. Your Ninedragon Imperial Tomb is rather strong.â The sovereign began clapping like a madman.
âSo?â Tianming said.
âIt seems that I canât take you down right now. Your strength has won my respect. Coming here today, it seems you want to contribute your strength to defend the sun. Very well then! I declare a temporary truce between the celestial orderians and the Myriad Solar Sects from now until Skywolf is beaten back!â
His words would have some credibility to the celestial orderians, but the Myriad Solar Sects wouldnât believe in such a truce. After all, the sun emperor was a shameless man who never showed his cards and might renege on his words anytime.
âI donât need your permission to defend the sun. Our myriad sects can do it ourselves. Those that arenât of the same path should part. Iâll let you off for now, since enemies are at the door,â Tianming sneered.
The sovereign was no longer laughing. âFine. Since you can brag so much, go to the south. Skywolf Frost is invading from there. Theyâll descend soon, so Iâll leave that side to you,â the sun emperor provocatively said.
Skywolf had two stars. The larger one, which was covered in white flames, was Skywolf Blaze. The smaller one, which was covered in white frost, was Skywolf Frost. The giant white star Tianming had seen when he first arrived was Skywolf Blaze. It was three times the size of the sun, and the main attacking force of Skywolf.
Sovereign Greenvoid and the Greenvoid Abyss were from Skywolf Frost. They were attacking the sun from the other side in a pincer attack.
âYou sure?â Tianming asked with gritted teeth.
âIâm leaving the trash to you. Isnât it like poetry?â the sovereign coldly laughed.
âBig words,â Tianming said.
âWell, I killed that old wolf that time like he was a rabbit, so thereâs one sovereign left. If you canât handle it, you shouldnât have the face to meet the elders of the myriad sects.â
Tianming knew he couldnât continue this fight today. Neither of them could nowâSkywolf was the priority. Tianming had seen them gather just now, so there wasnât much time left for the myriad sects. He couldnât be bothered wasting more time. He turned the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb away and flew southward. It quickly disappeared from the golden headâs view.
âCome, little child, letâs see who kills more wolves.â For a moment, his expression carried some appreciation for a genius. However, it was quickly replaced by bloodlust.
The snarling of wolves on the hunt could already be heard. The invasion had begun.
Killing intent, much thicker than when he had targeted the myriad sects, appeared in his eyes. âExterminating the myriad sects was, in the end, an internal conflict. Even I felt some uncertainty. But a bunch of bandits dare to rashly wave their claws in front of me and want to drink my blood and eat my flesh? Last time, when my Flameyellow Imperial Star was still ignorant and uncivilized, we were able to stop your massacre. This time, weâll let you beasts know who is the hunter and who is the prey in this astralscape!â The sovereign emotionally looked down at the lands below. âThis star has pretended to be a sheep for too long. From now on, everyone will know that our people are carnivores!â
The Divine Sun Palace shot into the flaming clouds. The Flameyellow Guard Formation shone even brighter as it entered a combat state.
âCelestial orderians, listen to my command! Defend your home and kill the demon wolves!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The sun emperor was truly a warrior at that moment. He led half of a heliacal class worldâs forces in battle against a force eight times greater without any hesitation as he courageously advanced! And if it werenât for him, the celestial orderians would have already collapsed. The sun was like a rabbit in front of Skywolf, at best. How difficult could it be for two wolves to bite a rabbit to death?
