Chapter 4583 - Extermination

Tianming’s arrival gave the Yueling cosmic gods a bad fright. Their expressions all turned ugly, while Yueling Xiao stared at him in disbelief.

“Li Tianming? Where is the Adjudicator? Where is Long’er?” A terrible premonition rose within him.

Tianming glanced at him and sneered. “Guess.”

The moment he arrived, everyone here had already been sentenced to death.

He had to thank Yueling Fu, who had contacted Yin Chen, for that. His suggestion to gather all these important figures had saved him the trouble of hunting them down one by one across the entire starcage.

Clearly, there were very few people here as clear-headed as Yueling Fu. Even after the deaths of Yueling Long and her sisters on the Vermilion Bird Starcage, and even after Jie Ba had been driven away, these top cosmic gods still clung to hope.

They believed Jie Ba and the being behind him, Dao San, would eventually kill Tianming and the sky plunderers.

They had no idea what had happened inside the green vortex. Yueling Xiao had initially sent people to investigate, but he had quickly recalled them after realizing it was a trap meant to lure Tianming in, afraid to interfere with the Adjudicator’s plans or the greater existence behind him.

He had waited eagerly for Tianming’s death. Yueling Long and the others would also revive once more, and the Realm of Chaos would ultimately belong to the Yueling Clan.

But Yueling Xiao knew reality had turned out differently the moment he saw Tianming. All his fantasies shattered completely.

“Yueling Long and her sisters are once more dead by my hand,” Tianming declared coldly. “Your Adjudicator died at my brother’s hands, while Dao San fell to my parents. From beginning to end, the Yueling Clan were nothing but clowns.”

He raised the Grand-Orient Sword, displaying the three green flowers and eight crimson tombstones. Both eerie green and crimson blood-calamity sword-ki flooded the halli.

The Yueling cosmic gods present instantly recognized these powers and fell into complete terror.

Even that existence stronger than Jie Ba had been slain and its power stolen by Li Tianming!

“Skyplunder Thief! Skyplunder Thief!” Yueling Xiao only had time to scream those words before the sword qi engulfed and annihilated him. Yueling Xiao, the final ruler of the Yueling Clan, had died.

The Yueling Starsource floated free. The cosmic gods stared at it greedily, but none dared move as Tianming seized it.

“Kill them.” His voice was emotionless. These cosmic gods had persecuted the people of Nullity long before his return, slaughtering countless members of the Mu Clan.

“Brothers, it’s time to go wild.” A wave of his hand summoned his beasts.

Once, the cosmic gods before them had been untouchable existences. Now, the beasts dwarfed them instead. A slaughter began beneath the canopy of the Radix World Tree, the Yueling cosmic god lasting only moments.

Some begged for mercy, which Tianming turned a deaf ear to. “Their hands are stained with too much blood. None of them deserve to live.”

With that, he walked out of the blood-soaked palace hall, his eyes as cold as ice.

Outside, he encountered Yueling Fu.

“Lord Emperor!” The man’s eyes lit up as he hurried forward and knelt. At the same time, he sensed the suffocating killing intent and deathly silence spilling from the hall behind Tianming, and fear instinctively arose.

“Use your connections,” Tianming ordered. “Spread the word through the capital. Submit or die.”

Though Yueling Fu was insignificant himself, his network throughout the Yueling Capital was extensive. Otherwise, he never could have gathered so many top cosmic gods for this meeting to end all meetings.

Under his orders, the news spread rapidly and was met with terror and disbelief.

Their revered Adjudicator had died at Li Tianzi’s hands? Even the greater existence behind him had fallen to Imperator Skyplunder? Li Tianming had just stormed the Yueling Palace and slaughtered every of their peak cosmic gods?

The clan had effectively been crippled.

Soon after, Tianming stood above the imperial palace.

More and more Yueling cosmic gods gathered before him, fear and despair written across their faces. One after another, they took to their knees.

These were the obedient ones who understood reality.

But many others refused to submit. Instead, they fled desperately toward the outskirts of the capital.
