The activity of the underground beast wave was so great that even the massive Mount Taia shook. Tons of rocks and trees were shaken loose and fell as countless pinpricks of red lights appeared on the eternally dark Eboniaâthey were the eyes of the wildbeasts crawling out of the depths.
If Mount Taia was a titan, the underground wildbeasts would be a rash appearing on it.
The red lights all swarmed toward the mountainâs northern face, where the golden sunâwhich represented the Grandnorth Dongshen Clanâs tenacity and prideâwas located. The blazing sun was the condensation of a minor sanctuary-class guardian formation. It was the same level as the luxdaemonsâ, and even within the whole mundus, minor sanctuary-class formations were used by more than a third of the fourth-level worlds to defend their entire planets.
Upon seeing it, most clans of Ebonia would feel an innate respect for it and not dare to challenge it, but alas, the Dongshen Clanâs enemy this time was a titan that had persisted the longest in Ebonia. The Dongshen Scorching Sun Guard Formation wasnât too threatening to the ebons.
Billions upon billions of wildbeasts all flung their bodies into the sun like moths throwing themselves into the flame. The fearless wildbeasts were all driven insane by the ebons and fought to be the first into the fire.
Making war was the ebonsâ forte. They had an endless amount of warbeasts and their deaths werenât like the loss of a lifebound beast. Thus, their beasts populated the nightmares of many clans on Ebonia.
As the beast wave crashed down again and again, the earth within the formation shook. The buildings all teetered, even if they had their own formations to reinforce them. The air was filled with the chaos of beast roars, babies crying, and curses.
âGet ready!â
âEveryone into the battlefield! Astral gods enter formations, gods enter arrays. Everyone else, connect to the spiritual threads to provide power to the formation!â
âUnderstood!â
âDefend to the death! The Grandnorth Dongshen Clan has no cowards!â
By that time, the bottom half of the formation was already suffering the frenzied attacks of the underground wildbeasts.
âSo, so many!â
The battle had just begun, but the Dongshen Clan had already gotten a deep impression of the ebonsâ frightening power. They were the rulers of the underground, and their strengths didnât stop there. Light began flaring up all around the Dongshen Scorching Sun Guard Formation as a thousand astralships surrounded the Dongshen Clan.
The exits of the astralships opened up, allowing ebon after ebon to pour out. They all had cold expressions as they formed up into armies while their fauna worldstones lit up. They were clearly ready for battle.
âThe astralships will attack from above, while our ground forces will coordinate with the underground wildbeasts to take down Mount Taia.â
âYes!â
Their preparations had been made long ago; however, an excuse was needed for so many ebons to ignore the Infinitum Bodhimandaâs rules and use an astralship to attack a large clan.
âTheyâre just a piddling Dongshen Clan, but they dared to murder three thousand of our ebons and our allies!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow daring!â
âThey even dared to steal the ancient relic our ebons had already obtained!â
âDongshen Zhuojun has already violated the rules of the Infinitum Bodhimanda! The Grandnorth Dongshen Clan must hand him and the relic over and accept a heavy punishment!â
As ebons, theyâd grown up with a strong sense of superiority and had always felt a deep pride in their clan identity. However, the Infinitum Bodhimandaâs rules had stopped them from having many excuses to bully others. Thus, they hadnât expected to be the ones bullied... or for so many of them to be killed! Fury had exploded in their hearts when theyâd heard the news. Combined with Chi Hun fanning the flames, all they wanted to do now was vent their rage by exterminating the Dongshen Clan.
âTheyâre really revolting!â
âAfter the last fifty years, it seems that even random dogs like the Dongshen Clan dare to bite us!â
âHow can my anger be appeased if we donât do some pest control today?â
The scale of wars on sixth-level worlds was far beyond what Tianming had participated in in the past. He couldnât personally witness it, but Yin Chenâs description was enough to convey the severity.
âTwo ether-class astralships, the Silverpiercer and the Nethersoul. Silverpiercerâs specialty is breaking formations with explosive power, while the Nethersoul is a symbol of the tenth rex mundi and is capable of unleashing soul attacks that can pass through a formation to attack the living things inside. Theyâre being supported by over a hundred sanctuary-class astralships and over a thousand deific-class astralships! With so many astralships, a minor-sanctuary-class formation wonât hold up to a single barrage.â
âIt seems that the tenth rex mundi wants a quick conclusion to this conflict so they can focus on Yi Daiyan next.â
âVictory goes to the one with initiative. The Dongshen Clan is in the wrong this time, so what can Yi Daiyan even do?â
âEboniaâs gone too long without astralship warfare, so we need to finish this now! If we donât properly stomp these pests, any idiot in the mundus will think weâre easy to bully.â
âHonestly, weâll be letting down our sacrificed comrades if we donât exterminate this clan.â
âEnough talk. All the astralships are about to fire. Everyone attack! The rex mundi passed down orders to execute them all!â
âExecute them all!â
Those ferocious words merged with the howls of countless wildbeasts and made the world tremble.
