Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2426 - We Won

“What?” Many ebons let out startled exclamations as they stared dumbly.

The raw firepower of the astralships crashed down on the formation. It was a head-on collision that caused world-shaking devastation, as if over a thousand meteors had fallen on a wooden house. The wooden house should have broken, but this one had been turned into steel with the support of the Mount Taia Quintessence.

The blasts from deific and sanctuary-class astralships simply spluttered on impact and dissipated into pretty fireworks. Only the ether-class blasts shook the formation and created a powerful shockwave that carried away the leftover remnants of the blast.

Then the shockwaves consumed many infinite beastmasters and their warbeasts. They died on the spot before a single word could leave their mouths.

“The shockwaves mean the astralships couldn’t pierce through the formation!”

The minor sanctuary-class formation was still standing strong after the first barrage. Its offensive prowess had greatly risen as well, and immediately targeted the infinite beastmasters and underground wildbeasts that had already made it in. Golden flames roiled and drowned them as Mount Taia’s fury was put on full display.

The infinite beastmasters were still confused, even as the nova source Mount Taia had gathered turned them to ash.

The underground wildbeasts met the same fate. They had penetrated the deepest depths of Mount Taia, which was where the power was fiercest. The underground world there was reduced to a sea of blood.

Yin Chen had no idea how to convey how vast, explosive, and fierce it was to Tianming.

When the dust settled, the formation shone like a rising sun, more resplendent than ever before! The astralships seemed dim in comparison.

The dust settled, revealing who lived and who died. The three hundred million Dongshen clansmen had suffered a fierce impact, but there were almost no casualties with the formation’s protection.

They looked at their fellows around them with wide eyes, then began cheering.

“We didn’t die!”

“We lived!”

“It’s the mountain god! It protected us!”

“Mount Taia! Infinitum Taia!”

They couldn't stop their tears.

“We won! We won!”

For the weak, death was their destiny. But victory and defeat had completely flipped within a moment.

Mount Taia had long been their idol of worship, and it was even more so now! The mountain had gained a soul through their worship, and perhaps even its quintessence had come from that. It was quite similar to the Azurecloud Divine Tree that everyone had taken as their mother tree.

“Perhaps becoming a world god isn’t a path of cultivation that’s only for humans, but mountains, trees, and the land itself can receive worship as well.” The distant Tianming felt enlightened.

He realized that Mount Taia and the Grandnorth Dongshen Clan might be linked together by something similar to his Omnisentient Threads. A mountain wasn’t a living thing, so its system would be different from Tianming’s, but its existence was still a valuable field of research for him.

All of the Dongshen clansmen were passionately kneeling on the ground, fervently kissing their homeland. They only wanted to love! That was why their desires were so pure that they didn’t even take note of the ebons’ losses.

Only those like Dongshen Yang, who controlled the formation, knew that almost all of the ground troops and underground wildbeasts had been reduced to ash. Any lucky survivors were all fleeing the formation.

The astralships were charging up for another barrage. That was because, if they couldn’t overcome the formation, the shockwaves would swallow up their ground troops again. The entire cornerstone of their three-pronged attack had been the Dongshen Scorching Sun Guard Formation not being able to withstand the attack of a thousand astralships, but they had ended up smashing their own foot with a rock.

All because Chi Hun didn’t understand that ancient relic.

Currently, Chi Hun was aboard the Nethersoul with several other ebon experts. It was the eyeball-shaped astralship Tianming had blown apart. It hadn’t been too badly damaged and its internals had remained intact, which was why he was using it as the flagship of the fleet. The experts with him were also the same ones that had gone to capture Tianming with him back at the Oldgod Domain.

All of their pure black eyes were locked on the radiant formation below them. Their emotions were exactly the same when they’d heard that Shenxi Shang had died in battle.

They were infuriated! The belief that ebons were unrivaled had been challenged.

Their strongest disciple had been killed by the Swordgod Lin Clan, and now, when they’d ignored the Infinitum Bodhimanda’s pressure and used astralships to attack the Dongshen Clan, they’d ended up biting a steel ball.

Now their teeth were broken, and it was time to feel the hurt.
