Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 2834 - Mister Taihe

Chapter 2834 - Mister Taihe

"Having a defensive formation and astrals.h.i.+ps is already rather decent. The natives of the Xenoabyss truly live like primitives. However, you can't deny that the Xenoabyss is a mystical place. There, we can meet people from distant mundi. That’s how we encountered the elites of Myriadpath Valley," Meng Ying said.

"The astralscape of order is far too vast, so anything that can shorten the distance between people is mystical. For instance, your wonderian ability to cross through the Xenoworld is one of them. You’d truly be terrifying if you could also bring your s.h.i.+ps through the Xenoworld," Shenxi Xingtian enviously said.

"Haha...." Meng Ying shook his head. "We need markers to come out of the Xenoworld, so the most we can do is go to places that one of us has gone before. There's also a limit to the distance we can skip. Myriadpath Valley, on the other hand, is far more capable than us. They have a special formation called the Myriadpath Celestial Formation, which can be used to send people far away through the astralscape of order without using the Xenoworld at all!"

Shenxi Xingtian's eyes widened. "In other words, will this Mister Taihe be able to use that formation to come to the Infinitum Mundus?"

Whether that person could come and when he would arrive were crucial questions. If they traveled with astrals.h.i.+ps alone, the journey might take hundreds, or even a thousand years. Shenxi Xingtian might not be able to last that long.

"Of course. Mister Taihe checked before. Myriadpath Valley has one stareye of the Myriadpath Celestial Formation in the Skydome Mundus. It’ll take only a short time for him to bring the elites of Myriadpath Valley to us. Then, I can bring them straight here!" Meng Ying's eyes flashed with color.

"Is that so?" Shenxi Xingtian was shocked to hear that that could be done. It was far outside what he thought had been possible. He also felt a strong sense of danger from it all, and began to understand that, while the astralscape was vast, the Infinitum Mundus would not be left undisturbed forever. Who knew how many more powerful enemies lurked in the darkness of s.p.a.ce? "Can the formation be used to transfer divine astrals.h.i.+ps too?"

Meng Ying chuckled, "Brother, that's so naive of you. Given the ma.s.s of s.h.i.+ps, it would cost a lot of nova source to transfer them. Even a single s.h.i.+p would cost tens of millions of times as much as a single cultivator, and even if it succeeds, it won’t be worthwhile at all. And even if they wanted to, the farthest they can come is the Skydome Mundus. It’d take another dozen years for their s.h.i.+ps to reach the Infinitum Mundus."

Shenxi Xingtian felt some relief at hearing that. "In other words, Myriadpath Valley and the Intrepidus Mundus will only be sending their top fighters to help us."

"That's right! Mister Taihe and Demoness Yin are people that Yi Daiyan wouldn't be able to stand up against. They’ll even bring other foundationeers and more peak-level cosmic cartographers, which will be more than enough to sweep through the Infinitum Mundus without resistance. Naturally, we’ll send some of our own elites to help as well."

Shenxi Xingtian silently mulled over it.

"Brother, what’re you hesitating about? Haven’t you just seen what level of destruction those elites are capable of? Yi Daiyan alone, with just one Infinitum Stele, is enough to send your ebons straight to h.e.l.l," Meng Ying said with a smirk.

Shenxi Xingtian lowered his head, his gaze cold.

"Astrals.h.i.+ps aren't that popular in Myriadpath Valley. That’s where true combat prowess reigns supreme. Everyone there only knows the law of the strong, and that's how they create the most talented geniuses in all of the astralscape! All of them are dueling experts. They’ve challenged many mundi across the astralscape and rely only on their Myriadpath Celestial Formation. They probably don't even have astrals.h.i.+ps to send out! However, they have more than enough cosmic artifacts that can break into them. After seeing Yi Daiyan, surely you know how supreme actual combat power can be, right?

"The spirit of the people there is to surpa.s.s everyone else in pursuit of absolute martial superiority! The way they see it, the power of the populace is just like what a bunch of ants can do. No matter their numbers or defensive formations, tens of millions of ants can’t stand up against a single powerful elephant. As far as they’re concerned, nothing is impossible with enough martial prowess. A single person can stand against armies of tens of billions! As such, armies or armadas mean nothing to them.

“In fact, the miniaturized nova sources in s.h.i.+ps are merely explosives waiting to be set off to them." Yi Daiyan had relied on precisely that to kill tens of millions of troops, and word of that had spread throughout the Infinitum Mundus. "Once they send a group of elites here, they'll be able to infiltrate Ebonia and the Sun to kill Yi Daiyan, Lin Xiaodao, and Li Tianming! They can even kill the leaders of all the other Infinitum Regal Clans. Then, you can use your s.h.i.+ps to easily take out the remaining people and take everything for yourself!"

Shenxi Xingtian still remained silent in thought. His pitch-black eyes seemed to be wavering.

"Just think about it," Meng Ying said. "However, I have to remind you that even if you don't agree to it, they'll still come. And then, they'll take what you have, too. The only thing they need from you is an excuse to act. After all, they’ve only got justification to act against the Sun to avenge Demoness Yin's son. They don't have a good cause to fight Yi Daiyan."

"So they still need my name, eh? In other words, somebody oversees their actions. Who is that?"

Meng Ying paused for a moment. "Let's not talk too deeply about that. The astralscape is vast and full of countless monsters, many of whom we can't even get close enough to touch. Some questions are best left unasked."

"Fine! I only have two final questions."

"Ask away. I'll tell you everything I know."

"The goal of Intrepidus is vengeance, so what’s Mister Taihe's angle? What does Myriadpath Valley want?"

Meng Ying laughed, "I talked to them about it before. They’re really direct. You’ll know how easy they are to talk to once you meet them."

"What does Mister Taihe want?" Shenxi Xingtian repeated.

Meng Ying focused his gaze. "He wants the Infinitum Stele. At the same time, he also wants to bring Li Tianming to find a woman called Zi Zhen for him."

"The Infinitum Stele...." Shenxi Xingtian already knew that there was no chance it would be left in the Infinitum Mundus after everything was over.

"What’re you thinking about, Brother? If it weren’t for that d.a.m.ned ranking, the ebons would have ruled the entire Infinitum Mundus long ago. That toy brings nothing but disaster." Meng Ying was getting more and more natural at calling Shenxi Xingtian a brother.

"Fine. I was going to ask more about how we’ll split the spoils anyway," Shenxi Xingtian said.

Meng Ying almost broke out in laughter. The same thing was happening all over again. Every time they negotiated something, they always ended up on the losing end with no spoils to split.
