Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 2640 -Couldnt Hold On

Chapter 2640 – Couldn’t Hold On

Tianming quickly took a deep breath to try and settle his mind. He was still young and hadn’t experienced many wars, so he couldn’t remain completely calm. Of course, the destructive power of the tome just now had still been enough to make even the old seniors like Lin Xiao jump up and down in agitation.

“Kill! Beat them down! Leave none alive! After today, whenever this so-called ‘alliance of justice’ talks of the Sun, they’ll shake from the trauma! No one can stop me from growing in the Sun!” Tianming didn’t believe that after winning this battle, there would still be people who could challenge him within the Sun.

The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, the Reaper, and the others re-entered the Flameyellow Guard Formation.

“They still have three thousand ships and a million astral gods!” Although their numbers had significantly decreased, they still held the advantage in terms of ships and astral gods.

What did it mean for two million astral gods to be lost in battle? For many on the reges mundi ranking, they found themselves skyrocketing up by two million places. The ebons had dominated the Infinitum Mundus, but the total number of astral gods in their entire race was close to four million, and most of those who embarked on this expedition were elites.

The entire Lin Clan, including the tenth branch, had just over five hundred thousand astral gods.

Tianming couldn’t even imagine the kind of psychological impact the sudden disappearance of two million astral gods would have on the ebons. All he knew was that two million wasn’t enough to make the other side respect him! It wasn’t enough to make Shenxi Xingtian completely abandon the idea of an expedition to the Sun!

“Kill!” He, Wudi, and the flameyellow fiends precisely targeted the scattered enemies and launched a devastating attack. Tianming was curious. “Shenxi Xingtian, what’re you thinking at this moment?” he murmured to himself.

……

When the Flameyellow Canon of Heaven and Earth exploded, the Ebonfiend had just thrown off the Gladean Ruins. Shenxi Xingtian had originally planned to break through the formation with the Exterminatus Army without getting entangled by the enemy astralship. As long as he crossed the formation, without the constraints of the flameyellow fiends, they would win!

His skeletal face showed a hint of a smile. Just as his mouth was about to open, a brilliant light from below swallowed him whole. Even the Ebonfiend was flung away, tumbling in the sea of flames and almost flying out of the Flameyellow Guard Formation.

The thunderous roars and vibrations lasted for a long time.

Shenxi Xingtian witnessed the tome with his own eyes! The inky blackness within his eyes swirled. His breathing turned ragged as he staggered back, collapsing to the ground. “Celestial! Tome!” he uttered, each word filled with heart-wrenching pain. His eyes widened and black liquid began flowing from his eyes. It was uncertain if it was blood or tears.

“Ah!” The figure that had once ruled as the First Rex Mundi of the Infinitum Mundus for thousands of years let out a piercing scream. Terrifying soul power erupted from his body, but it could only rage within the Ebonfiend.

Finally, the explosion subsided and the Ebonfiend stopped tumbling. It seemed like everything had come to an end.

One after another, transmission stones lit up in front of Shenxi Xingtian.

“Rex Mundi!”

“We suffered heavy losses!”

“At least two million astral gods were annihilated by that thing!”

“Rex Mundi!”

“We lost more than seven thousand astralship! Almost all the deific-class ships were destroyed!”

“Rex Mundi! What was that thing?! Should we continue the battle?!”

The Exterminatus Army, which had been so confident earlier, was now reporting the situation to Shenxi Xingtian with a tremor in their voices. Their voices were filled with tears. Two million astral gods! The Infinitum Mundus hadn’t seen a real war for a long time, and neither had the ebons endured such grievous losses in all that time; thus, no one could remain calm.

Every surviving member of the army felt their minds go blank, their bodies numb, their faces turn pale, and their legs tremble. Earlier, they had been under the banner of justice, thinking they were sweeping away evil on behalf of the Infinitum Bodhimanda…. But now, their faith had shattered! In their eyes, this ether-class Sun had changed from a piece of meat on a chopping board to a deadly poison. The poison spread and the remnants of the army fled in terror, desperate to escape.

Shenxi Xingtian clearly saw and distinctly heard all of it.

“Rex Mundi! What should we do?!”

“Rex Mundi, we need to avenge them!”

“We can’t afford any more losses… let’s retreat quickly! This isn’t a place we should be. If they really rebel, it should be Yi Daiyan who comes to deal with them….”

Countless confused words were like wasps with poisonous stingers, piercing into Shenxi Xingtian’s ears and stinging him. For at least sixty breaths of time, Shenxi Xingtian knelt on the ground, prostrating himself and convulsing all over. The mental blow was clear to see.

“Meng Ying!” Suddenly, Shenxi Xingtian let out a low roar and looked up.

“I’m here.” When Shenxi Xingtian looked up, a plump baby boy stood in front of him, looking at him with sympathy. “Friend, I’ve done my best to hurry here, but neither of us expected the enemy to have something like a celestial tome. It’s really too exaggerated and unfortunate.”

“No! Something’s not right!” Shenxi Xingtian shook his head.

“What’s not right?” Meng Ying asked in confusion.

“If they had the celestial tome all along, why didn’t they use it when I attacked Gladeus? They couldn’t have anticipated that I’d launch such a massive attack today. Did they leave a card for themselves?” Shenxi Xingtian gritted his teeth. From the grim tone of his voice, you could hear that this “serious injury” was truly the biggest blow of his life, surpassing the previous two. He finally couldn’t hold on any longer.

“They could’ve dug it up within the past fifteen years. Anyway, this world has indeed produced too many treasures, whether it’s the Gladean Ruins or this Celestial Tome. So… this time, the Exterminatus Army lost not to Lin Xiaodao, but to the ancient era of the star.” Meng Ying comforted him.

Indeed! Shenxi Xingtian had suffered terribly twice in a row, but he had lost to the flameyellow divinities. Lin Xiaodao and Li Tianming were both inheritors. However, all “luck” depended on destiny. Whether it was the appearance of the Gladean Ruins or Wudi’s opening of the secret chamber, they were all natural conclusions.

“Rex Mundi Shenxi, hear me out. Although we suffered heavy losses, we still have a chance to win! I can arrive soon, and since the other side has used their trump card, they won’t be able to stop me anymore! This world belongs to you, and the stronger it becomes, the more the ebons and you will flourish and surpass history! Those who perished today will be remembered as great heroes in the future.” Meng Ying used his plump hands to support Shenxi Xingtian’s shoulders.

“Whew…” Shenxi Xingtian slowly stood up. Looking down at Meng Ying, he fell silent for a long time. Then he suddenly grinned and said, “It seems that the old saying is right, heroes think alike…. History will remember the sacrifice of those two million astral gods! In the future, the descendants of the ebons, several times stronger, will surely not forget their contributions!”
