Chapter 2826 - The Supreme Rex Mundi
Just as the gods of the Shuntian Clan below widened their eyes, Yi Daiyan’s totems, whose power exceeded them by several stages, descended from the sky like a rainstorm of beauties. Lux Imperius had arrived!
The more than twenty million totem swordswomen wielding long swords were like undying gods of death. They unleashed Yi Daiyan’s top-notch sword techniques, killing one god of the Shuntian Clan after another, as well as their albusbeasts.
"Have mercy!"
"Ah!"
"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, wuuu...."
When faced with enemies of similar strength, most people still had the courage to resist. However, when they faced totems that were essentially unkillable, many members of the Shuntian Clan mentally collapsed.
Following Shuntian Bohai’s orders, they dispersed and hid, not congregating. However, if they didn’t gather, wouldn’t they be individually slaughtered by a Lux Imperius in one hit each? Constelliers, solarians, and stellaminors couldnt withstand a foundationeers totem, even if they were divided into twenty million parts.
"This simulacrum...." Many strong individuals from the Shuntian Clan were dumbfounded. They could only watch as the gods of the Shuntian Clan fled in panic, blood splattering everywhere. In the chaotic slaughter, it wouldn’t take half a day for Yi Daiyan to kill off more than four hundred million of the weakest.
Who knew where her limit was?
"Witch!" Shuntian Bohai witnessed the scene, and, for the first time, shed tears of blood. Only now did he truly understand how desperate the sanctlighters had been. Suppressing an entire regal clan with just one person was something he had found hard to believe at first. But now, he finally understood.
In a situation where no one could restrict them, gods with low stages were meaningless numbers to a foundationeer powerhouse. Furthermore, Yi Daiyan had used a sixfold simulacrum!
Now, Shuntian Bohai faced the ultimate dilemma. Resist, and they needed to concentrate, which might lead to even more deaths. But not resisting meant watching Yi Daiyan slaughter them.
There was another way. Like the sanctlighters, all their cosmic cartographers could joined forces to besiege her. However, the effectiveness of that method... the sanctlighters had already provided an example.
Shuntian Bohai wasn’t sure if he himself could withstand a single blow.
"What should we do?!"
"Continue holding on until reinforcements arrive."
They finally understood why Yushan Taifeng didn’t charge in and cooperate with Yi Daiyan; it wasn’t necessary at all! One Yi Daiyan was an intractable problem.
Moreover, something even more unbelievable soon happened. Yi Daiyan targeted their ether-class ships! Her Lux Imperius wreaked havoc among the gods while she, with her black and gold sword in hand, projected a colorful and dazzling foundation fortress around her.
She broke through the encirclement and directly charged toward Shuntian Bohai’s astralship. The ether-class ships of other strong individuals from the Shuntian Clan were her targets as well.
"Stop her!" Shuntian Bohai roared. The problem was, who even could stop her?
Yi Daiyan’s sword-light approached.
"Grand Elder, Shengguang Huangs Prestige was pierced and exploded with a single sword! Hurry, go!" those by his side screamed.
An astralship was a war machine? Sorry! In front of top powerhouses, it was just a means of transportation that needed space to run... and also a bomb.
"There’s no way out...." Shuntian Bohai realized that one Yi Daiyan had already truly trapped them. If their ships remained in Shuntian City, not utilizing their strengths, by the time reinforcements arrived, Shuntian Bohai estimated that he would be dead by then!
He suddenly roared, "All ships, follow me and leave the guardian formation to attack the lackeys of Yi Daiyan!"
It was a true desperate battle!
"If she attacks us and we can’t handle it, then let’s attack her dogs!" It might be ridiculous, but... it was the only way.
Over a million ships and tens of thousands of astral gods finally boiled with enthusiasm. Each of them roared like their hearts were being torn apart. Controlling their ships, they temporarily abandoned their main camp and actively rushed out of the Shuntian Guard Formation and toward the sky!
The sky was the true battlefield for astralships.
Yushan Taifeng saw that and remained quite calm.
A transmission stone lit up and Yi Daiyan said, "Retreat first. Take a detour, but head in the direction of the Greenhill Yushan Clan."
"Yes!"
"Chase when the enemy retreats, retreat when the enemy chases."
"Yes!" Yushan Taifeng understood. He was meant to exhaust these guys, making them miserable until death.
Shuntian Bohai had never expected that, when they were being chased, Yi Daiyans six hundred thousand astralship wouldnt engage with them, but turn tail and flee! "Dammit! They really are dogs! No dignity at all!"
The Central Shuntian Clans astralships engaged in hot pursuit. Generally speaking, the higher the level of astralship, the faster its speed. However, on Ebonia, due to gravity, the speed difference would be significantly reduced. Moreover, Yushan Taifengs side was dispersing to escape. That way, even if the quantity was slightly inferior, the losses could be controlled as long as they maintained a good distance.
Two large fleets of astralships, one fleeing and the other pursuing, bombarded each other with the power of nova source. Although many ships exploded, overall, neither side suffered too much. In pursuit, Shuntian Bohai immediately understood that it was definitely a dead end.
"I’m screwed! I’m screwed!" He was truly frustrated to death. "One Yi Daiyan that can’t be dealt with, and a group of guerrilla warfare dogs. This is supposed to be a nova source war! He spat out blood on the spot.
Shuntian Bohai, who hadn’t been chasing for long, received a message from back in the city, urging them to quickly return.
"Grand Elder, more than a hundred million gods have already been killed. If we don’t go back, we’re completely done!" He spurted blood again.
But before he could return, Yi Daiyan’s cold voice echoed throughout Shuntian City.
"Surrender your formation core, destroy your ether-class ships, and the Shuntian Clan can redeem themselves." The sentence plunged the entire clan into a fierce silence.
"How long before reinforcements arrive?" Shuntian Bohai angrily asked.
"Report! Reporting to the Grand Elder, reinforcements changed course halfway and are heading toward Greenhill. Greenhill is erupting with a special-tier beast wave, and it’s said that the bloodline wisteria has appeared!"
Hearing that, Shuntian Bohai knew full well that they had been betrayed by the ebons.
"Shenxi Xingtian, fuck your mother!" Shuntian Bohai wailed in grief, rushing out of the Albus. He knelt before Yi Daiyan, shouting, "Supreme Rex Mundi, our Central Shuntian Clan will be your most loyal lackeys from now on. Whoever opposes you, I’ll wipe out their entire clan!"
Yi Daiyan was speechless.
