Chapter 1894
The voidheart worm was angered that Tianming asked it to die and reincarnate. Tianming was trying to understand it to find a way to defeat it. However, it was a cosmic wildbeast with a top bloodline. It had matured, and when it raged, Tianming felt the entire Sky Palace shake from its power. There was no way he could underestimate his enemy now.
"Be on your guard." Since he had become its target, he wasn’t worried that it would run. He immediately jumped off the platform and the voidheart worm followed suit as expected. The endless cotton near the top followed it as it fell, pressing on him at the same time.
He slammed to the ground, where Lan Huang, Xian Xian, and Yin Chen would be able to fight at their best. With all of his beasts, totems, and divine wonders out, they surrounded Xian Xian in the middle.
Ying Huo had long felt annoyed by the voidheart worm. "Do you think a coward like you that only knows to hide is worthy of controlling the solar core?" Ying Huo enlarged itself and spread its wings, sending Infernal Blaze toward the womanly figure.
At the same time, the woman seemed to blend together with the boundless cloudy fog around it. Its lower body vanished in the clouds, while its upper body contorted beyond recognition. "You’re a bad person! You’re trying to trick me! You should die!"
Its train of thought was just that simple at the end of the day. The question was how it would be able to harm Tianming with such a small body. Ying Huo decided to take the initiative and find out. It used Skyscorch Featherblast, sending out sharp feathers that contained the power of Blazebane, Cosmic Blade. The girlish body was immediately pierced through and torn apart, and even the cloudy mass behind it had a hole burned through it.
"Is that it?"
The next instant, thousands of bodies appeared around the cloudy fog in the Sky Palace, reforming into the womanly figure from before. Every one of them glared angrily at Tianming and his lifebound beasts. "Im not a human, but I wont let you be mean to me! You can’t!" Millions of bodies shrieked that rebuke at the same time, much to Tianming’s awe. Their conflict was far more than him being mean to herit was an invasion from Skywolf and a threat to the solar core!
"Hehe, all of these are pretty women. If you didn’t mind bugs, youd have the largest harem in history," Ying Huo said.
"Stop messing around and be careful," Tianming said, furrowing his brow. He could tell that the humanoid figures weren’t the voidheart worm itself, but merely a small part. The real worm was somewhere within the cloudy fog in the Sky Palace Formation. Perhaps everything, including the ash and powder-like substance was part of its body. All of it combined would have a hundred times the volume of all Yin Chen’s bodies combined! Such a large body was thanks to it absorbing nova source from where it was densest for such a long time.
All of it came crashing down from above with terrifying momentum. Tianming tried blocking it with the mountainous prime wonder only for it to be sent flying away. Then his swords turned into a sea of millions, piercing a gigantic hole in the clouds with sword ki. However, even that seemed to have no effect. White liquid seeped out of the clouds and recovered the whole. The voidheart worm seemed like a sea swarm that could endure any kind of damage like a soft sponge. As such, only abilities seemed to have an effect on it, which limited Yin Chen and Lan Huang’s contributions in the fight.
Tianming and his lifebound beasts were sent flying from the crash. After that, a large amount of dust particles in the clouds flooded toward his nostrils. With the Prime Tower’s defenses breached, there was no stopping them. Tianming hurriedly stabilized his body and pulled his sea of swords closer as a response. Meanwhile, Xian Xian tried properly taking root to resist the brewing storm in the cloudy fog. Thanks to it, the others were able to find their footing and prepare for a counterattack.
"This won’t work. The enemy can’t be killed. It’s a little like mysterians in a way," Xian Xian said. Cosmic wildbeasts were eccentric by nature.
On top of all their worries, all the buildings in the Sky Palace seemed to collapse into ash, blending in with the cloudy fog and increasing its volume. In other words, even the Sky Palace itself had become part of the voidheart worm’s body!
"Damn it!" Xian Xian cursed and shrieked. The ground under its roots was all a part of that pale white substance.
All of a sudden, the white dirt moved and the particles turned into large maggots while the gray dust turned into small insects, leaving Xian Xian with no place to take root. Everything within the Sky Palace Formation was part of the voidheart worm’s body. In fact, it had probably devoured everything inside, assimilating it as part of itself.
Tianming recalled that Granny Yuan Long had begged him to run and understood why. They were in the lair of the voidheart worm, where it was at its prime. It wouldn’t even fear the sun emperor if he were to come to it. It had made this battlefield to stack the odds in its favor, making fighting it here the worst choice possible, even if it was the only choice.
He watched as the ground collapsed and the clouds swirled. Every single particle of sand and dust was part of the voidheart worm. It had an equal, or even superior ability to disguise itself compared to Yin Chen. In fact, it won out in terms of size, being able to move about as inconspicuous specks of dust. The sight before him was far too impressive. Tianming and the rest completely blanked out as the fusion beast of mud, clouds, and dust sucked away everything within the Sky Palace Formation. He felt like he was fighting in a completely alien world. The voidheart worm had shed its skin and shell to reveal its true form.
"Is it really that terrifying? Does it have countless bodies and no main body like Yin Chen? That isn’t possible, is it?" Normally, broodmother-type beasts should have main bodies, even cosmic wildbeasts. The particulates of the worm seemed like child bodies, rather than the main bodies of Yin Chen.
"It must... have a... main body!" Yin Chen said.
"Are you certain? Perhaps you’re just not so special after all. The voidheart worm doesn’t look much different from you," Tianming joked.
"Shut up! I’m angry!" Yin Chen felt its position as the king of insects was being challenged. What angered it even more was how the voidheart worm seemed to not notice it at all, not even regarding it as an enemy!
The various parts of the Sky Palace blended together and formed a gigantic pale giant that was twenty times the size of Lan Huang. "I am human!" Its roar shook the entire area in the formation. It reminded Tianming of his battle against Lin Xiaoting long ago, but the formation back then was completely different from the Sky Palace Formation, just like the enemy was completely different from Lin Xiaoting.
"That’s right! I can vouch for you! You’re human! Everyone in your family is, too!" Ying Huo said, trying to suck up to the worm after feeling dwarfed by it.
"Chicken Bro... chickened out..." Yin Chen scoffed.
Yet the giant completely ignored what Tianming and the rest were thinking and came stomping after them right away. Tianming saw Granny Yuan Long’s head appear near its navel, making it look even weirder.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from .com.
"Wait!" Tianming suddenly realized something right as danger approached. During the fight, he had inhaled quite a bit of dust and cloud vapor! The particulates flowed through his body through his bloodstream. Tianming noticed that they were feasting on his body and growing into maggots!
"Dammit!" This felt just as terrifying as being infested by Yin Chen’s bonegnaw ants, only even more effective, given how they were smaller and could infest others even more easily! No doubt that was how the Sky Palace members had been corrupted. The mere thought of the worms pouring out of Granny Yuan Long’s corpse gave Tianming a start. He hurriedly used the carefree wonder to purge them. If it didn’t work, he would despair....
"Hey, I have some in me too!" Ying Huo said. Along with Yin Chen, all of the other beasts were infested as well. "It’s over.... We’ll be dishes served up on a platter sooner or later..." it lamented.
"Dishes? Will there be meat?" Xian Xian said, its attention piqued by the mention of food.
