Chapter 4627 - Self-Harm

The massive eyeball in the Xenoworld lost its marbles from Tianming's constant harassment. Its many purple veins tried to grasp Tianming to no avail.

Ying Huo laughed and said, "This eyeball is so angry that it's about to explode!"

It was quite obvious even if it didn't state it. Every time Tianming appeared, Di Yi would react by sending his veins after him to try to tear him into countless pieces, only for Tianming to disappear at the very last moment. Di Yi was completely being toyed with.

"Li Tianming!" he roared furiously. He couldn't ignore Tianming and risk being badly hurt, yet having his attention split allowed the Soulfiend to advance towards the depth of the purple eye.

Tianming watched as the Soulfiend roared and tore apart the remaining veins that tried to stop it, advancing in suicidal fashion. Lingfeng, at the very center of the eye, tried his best to suppress the vortex to slow down Di Yi's absorption of xenofiends.

"We have a chance!" The next time Tianming appeared, the Grand-Orient Sword flashed with the power of Carnage Sword Prison, greatly damaging the surface of the massive eyeball with an endless barrage of lightning. Even Mo Si and Huang Qi who were sealed in the sword were stunned by the extent of Tianming's power.

Huang Qi licked her figurative lips and said, "All hail Emperor Tianming! Your stealth techniques are far too impressive. You don't leave any trace at all!"

Mo Si, on the other hand, remained silent but awed. She knew that there was no way Di Yi could do about this disappearing act of his and contemplated whether she would end up heavily injured from a surprise attack by Tianming if they had actually fought.

Tianming's gaze finally met Lingfeng's. Though they were too far away to see each other clearly, Tianming recognized that familiar gaze and reminisced about their shared past. Despite Lingfeng's bloodshot eyes of rage as he struggled to subdue the vortex, Tianming could see trust within those eyes. Lingfeng's trust in him didn't waver in the slightest. As long as Tianming showed up, there would be hope!

"My brother, even though we haven't managed to spend much time with each other, you were always there to get me out of trouble." Tianming's resolved gaze peered deep into the purple eye, recalling the time when Lingfeng suddenly appeared to fight the sun emperor back when the Sun was just a heliacal-class world. Then, there was the time when he helped Tianming hold back countless cosmic gods from Yueling and Violetblitz. He always showed up when it really counted.

"If you hadn't been there for me, I would've fallen so many times on my journey..." Tianming's eyes were bloodshot with emotion. He grit his teeth as Di Yi unleashed even more purple veins towards the Soulfiend.

Then, Tianming came to the front of the eye where there weren't that many purple veins left. His Grand-Orient Sword and totems exploded with sword ki and finally unleashed the fusion sword art he just mastered, Inferno Carnage Sword Prison! The fusion of Skyblaze Cosmic Inferno and Carnage Sword Prison gaze rise to a cage of blazing flames and electrifying lightning that ravaged the front of the purple eye, greatly damaging much of its surface.

This move represented the current limits of Tianming's power. The sword strike sent flames and lightning sweeping across tens of millions of meters, capable of destroying a smaller nova-source world, which the massive purple eyeball resembled. The wounds it sustained looked like a complex mesh of intertwining spiderwebs.

Clearly, Di Yi was feeling even more pain and anger than before to the point that all the purple veins within his body trembled. The Soulfiend used this opportunity to tear more of the veins apart and got ever so closer to Lingfeng.

Then, the purple eye suddenly moved. The massive object's sudden displacement in this world of dreams caused the eerie light all around them to twist and refract. The eye moved faster and faster, slamming into many parts of the surrounding space that it shook to the point that Tianming was beginning to worry. Perhaps this was Di Yi's desperate attempt to avoid being harassed.

"I have to give chase!" Without hesitation, he followed the eyeball closely behind, though his harassment became much more difficult than before. He watched as the injured eyeball burned with purple soulflame all around it, forming more flaming soul storms that prevented him from approaching.

Bai Ye said, "Little Li, those flaming soul storms are too powerful! I think you'll die if you get close!"

Tianming could tell how urgent that warning was.

But then, Ji Ji realized something else. "The soulflame is a result of a combusting soul, and the purple eye is made of a soul in the first place. In other words, he's burning himself up! This is self-harm!"

"Self-harm?" Tianming didn't expect that Di Yi would go so far to prevent him from continuing to harass him.

The dreamlike world got more and more unstable from all the tumbling around Di Yi did. Tianming noticed that everything got hazier than ever, with even the rays of light appearing harder and harder to grasp.

Once more, the purple veins within the eyeball stretched out towards the Soulfiend now that Tianming was no longer there to mess with Di Yi. The Soulfiend continued to tear up all the purple veins with its six arms, but the small eye parasites caused it so much pain that it struggled to take even a single step ahead. What made Tianming even more worried was how the purple veins themselves were also set alight, and they wrapped themselves around Lingfeng to absorb his essence!
