Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 1831 - Duel of the Astralships

Chapter 1831 - Duel of the Astrals.h.i.+ps

Tianming’s other method of escape would have been to mix in with the rest of the fleeing army. He may not have been discovered then, but he would have to control the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb from a distance, which might cause him to lose it. Long-distance control would have been possible, but risky. Astrals.h.i.+ps needed an astrals.h.i.+p core inside them to perform complex maneuvers. For example, the wheel formation in his hand. He felt like the tomb had become very heavy, and it kept vibrating inside from all the collisions with totemic calamities and abilities.

Many were using weapons forged from premier divine ores to attack the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, peeling off its bricks. Tianming couldn’t control the defensive formation of the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb; when its structure was destroyed, even the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb would become sc.r.a.p!

“Thank goodness I didn’t let the army in or we’d have been one big target.” Even Tianming had gotten injured from the impacts, so others would have fared worse. Tianming was the only one inside the tomb, which meant he was the only one who could save himself.

Over ten million people had switched targets from the Ninedragon Army to the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. Lifebound beasts rammed it while totems slashed at it.

The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb’s shaking grew even worse.

Tianming was getting anxious. He madly spun the wheel, pus.h.i.+ng it to the maximum. The saplings in the tomb used their maximum power to give the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb horsepower, the tomb spinning faster as Tianming continued spinning the wheel. It was almost like Lan Huang’s Primordial Wheel.

The sharp and irregular Ninedragon Imperial Tomb was dangerous. Even Tianming was almost thrown around inside. As for the lifebound beasts and totems trying to stick to it, some were flung away while the unlucky ones went splat.

“What mad driving skills.” Ying Huo had a few b.u.mps on its head from knocking into things.

“Quiet.” The danger wasn’t over yet. Tianming had thrown off the unwanted pa.s.sengers with great difficulty. He hurriedly stopped the wheel, the inertia nearly breaking his arms.

Now released from its shackles, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb shot into the sky. “Are we going to make it?”

As long as the tomb used its speed, those on the ground wouldn’t be able to catch up. Just as the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb reached the sky, light illuminated its interior. It was the Divine Sun Palace!

The two astrals.h.i.+ps had finally met.

“f.u.c.k!” Tianming hurriedly spun the wheel, swinging the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb to the side, Even then, it wasn’t enough to avoid the incoming Divine Wrath.

A pillar of fire smashed into the tomb’s tail, creating a charred crater while the ma.s.sive force slammed the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb into the ground, its landing spot coincidentally where many Blueblood Starocean cultivators were. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb had even been accelerated by the Divine Wrath, causing it to strike the earth like thousands of mountains, instantly reducing the cultivators to b.l.o.o.d.y paste.

When immortals fought, mortals suffered!

The Deluge Emperor felt pained at the sight, but he quickly recovered. “Press on, don’t let it fly away! Then go inside and seize Li Tianming!” Li Tianming was definitely inside, given the complex movements of the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb.

“If we take down Li Tianming and the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb today, it’ll be the end days of the Myriad Solar Sects no matter how many losses we take!” The Deluge Emperor knew the sun emperor’s thoughts. The Blueblood Starocean cultivators hadn’t given their best inside the formation just now out of self-preservation. Now was the best opportunity to give their best. They could reap great gains at little cost; it would be of great merit if they helped the sovereign capture Tianming.

Everyone knew that defeating Tianming was the same as taking down half of the Myriad Solar Sects!

The remaining Divine Palace Army roared and charged forward. At the same time, the Divine Sun Palace above blocked off the airs.p.a.ce while charging another small-scale Divine Wrath. It was ten times weaker than the attacks on the Nonacrypt Fushen Formation, but it could still damage the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. Honestly, Tianming wouldn’t have dared to try to keep the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb if the Divine Sun Palace’s power hadn’t been exhausted to such an extent.

Tianming was dizzy after the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb had crashed into and flattened multiple mountains, but he hurriedly stood up for the sake of survival.

“Don’t panic, it’s like driving a horse carriage!” Ying Huo shouted.

“Stay strong, Little Li! Xian Xian doesn’t want to fall into the hands of that pervert!”

Tianming’s lifebound beasts were just as anxious as him. Only Meow Meow felt sleepy. It took advantage of no one having the attention to spare to slide itself into a nook so it wouldn’t be thrown around before entering the world of dreams…

“It’s just driving! Of course I have the skills!” Now was the time when Tianming had to act a little crazy to get out of this situation. Of course, being crazy didn’t mean losing a cool head.

He flew the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb up again, pursuers hot on his tail. Abilities and totemic calamities struck the tomb’s tail, while the Divine Sun Palace above was preparing another Divine Wrath.

“Come!” Tianming’s face was red from exertion. Controlling an astrals.h.i.+p was another form of combat, one that tested a man’s control. It was honestly a form of joy.

Tianming was suddenly inspired. He turned his s.h.i.+p around and aimed for the army chasing him. The crowd was even more dense than the fleeing Imperial Tomb Army.

“Come on! Shoot us!” Ying Huo shouted.

Tianming kept an eye on the sky as his heart pounded—he was gambling with his life. He had already calculated the timing of the Divine Sun Palace. “Three, two, one!” He shut his eyes and decelerated, braking and abruptly turning the wheel. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb lost control, falling to the ground and carving out another path of blood.

While it looked pathetic, he had dodged another Divine Wrath! The Divine Wrath landed in front of the tomb, right where ten million Divine Palace Army soldiers were.

The sun emperor was truly vicious. He hadn’t hesitated, despite knowing there was a high risk of friendly fire. The Divine Wrath fell on the crowd, instantly creating a sea of fire on the ground!

Miserable wails rang out. They included the wail of the Deluge Emperor. Even an expert like him had been reduced to a pathetic state after taking the hit, let alone others.

Seeing their comrades turned to ash by the Divine Sun Palace stunned many of the soldiers and a deathly silence fell over the ruined battlefield.
