Chapter 3152 - Slumber Eternally Within Me

"Yin Chen!" Tianming"s spatial ring had already been taken by Lan Yun, so he’d lost all his transmission stones. The only means by which he could contact the outside world was Yin Chen, and the only one in Myriadpath Valley who could help him was Suishen Yao.

"No way... to enter!" A large number of Yin Chens paced about the entrance of Suishen Yao"s room, which was completely sealed off.

Not to mention, Tianming knew that it wasn"t guaranteed that she would come to save him. Who else could he ask for help? Many faces flashed across his mind, but none of them could possibly pose a threat to Fallengrace Peak.

"Jian Qinghe!" For some reason, Tianming recalled her. "She should have something to do with Cleaner Grandpa! The two of them are the only people here I"ve seen who are sealed in some way. There should be some backstory there!"

He couldn"t afford to overthink it. He was that desperate.

"She"s at... Battlesky Hall!" Yin Chen said.

"Tell her to save me, as well as how I"ll be able to deal with the formation locks of her and that old man!" Tianming telepathically said as quickly as he could. When he finished, the door of the b.l.o.o.d.y hall completely closed.

An eerie laughter suddenly echoed throughout the hall. It sounded like pieces of old bark rubbing against each other. It was a disgusting voice that made Tianming feel like ants were crawling into his ears and biting away at his eardrums and even brain matter.

Tianming landed on the ground and quickly swept his surroundings with all three of his eyes. Capillary-like tentacles were everywhere within the hall, stretching out from a b.l.o.o.d.y coc.o.o.n, which was the source of that disgusting laughter.

All of a sudden, a tear appeared on the coc.o.o.n and four b.l.o.o.d.y arms pushed out of it, followed by a head with barely any hair. There were many b.l.o.o.d.y holes on the head and both eyes seemed to hang from their sockets, wobbling as if they were about to fall out. Tianming almost vomited at the sight of Lan Yun"s senior sister. It took him a while to recognize that two of the four "arms" he had seen just now weren"t arms at all! The whiplash from seeing Lan Yun, a cold beauty, to this abomination of a senior sister was huge. When he realized that Lan Yun had offered him up to her senior sister, he felt a chill of terror and fear across all the astrons in his body. It was an ending that was far worse than any normal death.

"Aah! Aaaah!" The woman in the coc.o.o.n looked at Tianming with her wobbly eyeb.a.l.l.s and let out an odd croak. She sounded like a hungry ghost that hadn"t had anything to sate its craving for ages. Seeing her food, she didn"t bother uttering a single intelligible word and leaped toward Tianming like a feral beast!

His body suddenly smelled intensely of blood and gore. It was order suppression coming from the woman! A blood-colored foundation fortress hovered above his body and completely covered him. Tianming was shocked to see ten buildings within the fortress; the "senior sister" was a tenth-level foundationeer!

That kind of cultivation level was probably only achievable by higher-tier eminents. Fortunately, she was far from her prime state. Not to mention, Tianming"s Order Relic Universal Body could absorb all the order suppression no matter who it was from. Otherwise he wouldn"t even be able to blink, let alone move.

"f.u.c.k! It"s do or die!" The one who was desperate right now was the senior sister, not Lan Yun. As long as he could take care of her, he had a chance of surviving, even if Lan Yun could still threaten him using the Infinitum Mundus and keep him as fodder for her fiendart in the future.

Yin Chen reported that Jian Qinghe had received the message and had reached out to Uncle Hei using her transmission stone. The middle-aged man was probably rus.h.i.+ng to Fallengrace Peak as they spoke.

Tianming didn"t know if that meant that he was saved or not, but it gave him hope, hope that he could only capitalize on if he bought himself enough time. He initially hadn"t even thought about Jian Qinghe since she had just been an unfamiliar acquaintance. He didn"t understand which faction backed her, nor whether she could do anything to oppose Fallengrace Peak. So he was quite surprised that Uncle Hei was even coming.

The woman in the coc.o.o.n had thought that Tianming wouldn"t be able to move after she used her order suppression on him, so she immediately charged toward him and let her body expand into a blood-colored astral vortex. She tried bringing it down on Tianming"s head.

"Ji Ji!" Tianming manifested his totem swords from his bane-rings. At the same time, a pink star emerged from his lifebound s.p.a.ce, flas.h.i.+ng a bright pink light within the hall of blood.

"Begone!" It was Tianming"s second totemic calamity, Shattered Era, Cosmic Swordsurge! Coupled with Ji Ji"s Vaporize, the formation-filled s.p.a.ce of the hall of blood exploded! Given that it was a confined area that had been reinforced by formations all around, the destructive power of the two explosions were concentrated and amplified to an insane degree!

Even though Tianming"s a.s.sailant had managed to activate the Sky Starvore Fiendart by turning into a vortex, he figured that her current state was far more unstable than she usually was. Fiendarts like that were complex and volatile, so any unexpected interruption could potentially lead her to lose control!

That was why Tianming hadn"t used those two moves to attack Lan Yun in the beginning. He wouldn"t necessarily be able to hit her, had he used them outdoors, so it would just be a waste. She would simply make good on her word to eradicate the Infinitum Mundus. However, could the same be said about the old crone before him that was tens of thousands of years old?

The decapath era G.o.dswords exploded with the energy of ten different aspects, unleas.h.i.+ng endless destruction. Ji Ji"s genesis ancestral nova source also exploded through the use of Vaporize, illuminating the entire hall with a blinding pink flash.

Tianming only managed to survive the blast thanks to protection from Ji Ji"s nova source. He saw his totems directing all the energy from the double-edged calamity into the vortex of blood.

Did I catch her off guard and heavily injure her? I wonder if her body can still be kept in a stable state. All he could do was to wait with bated breath, completely unarmed.

Suddenly, everything within the hall stilled, including the explosion itself. The process of destruction ceased before it was compressed back to its origin. Tianming watched as the energy of his desperate attack was compressed into a pink ball. A pair of hands stretched out from the vortex of blood behind the pink ball, then took hold of it, toyed with it, and crushed it into nothing. Tianming"s desperate gambit had been reduced to nothing.

A face emerged from within the b.l.o.o.d.y vortex. The senior sister chuckled and said, "It"s no wonder Junior Sister evaluates you so highly. Young and fresh you may be, but you"re spicy where it counts. It"s too bad that you simply aren’t spicy enough."

That was the might of a tenth-level foundationeer! It was the unreasonable culmination of power that someone who had lived for tens of thousands of years had achieved.

"Keep struggling! Every child enters my embrace after they"ve struggled their fill and experienced ultimate terror. But they all still slumber eternally within me.... Hahahahahaha!" The demoness that had lived for millennia was far more powerful than Lan Yun, but also more impatient. She merely laughed and said not another word as she brought the b.l.o.o.d.y vortex close to Tianming"s head once more.

The vortex finally began revolving. This time he didn"t feel any order suppression, but a powerful suction that acted on every single one of his individual astrons. It was the fatal moment! This force was a few times stronger than Demoness Yin"s had been. Even with his strengthened body, it felt like he would be disintegrated within a single breath.

Death was upon Tianming. He was confused and delirious as his being itself was being pulled apart. The forces binding his astrons to each other were too weak. As his body was evenly frayed apart at every point, he could even vaguely see the parts of Ying Huo and the rest that had fused into him beneath his skin!

"There’s too many impurities within your body. We should remove them first. You should be thanking me. At the very least, in your last moment in this world, you’ll no longer be tainted."

With the blood vortex positioned above Tianming"s head, she didn"t even need to use something like the Bloodweaver to suppress him. The suction alone was so powerful that it held him in place as it pulled him apart, forcefully extracting Ying Huo, Meow Meow, Lan Huang, and Xian Xian from his body!

It was exceedingly painful for both Tianming and his beasts! Being extracted even though they had yet to recover from their failed evolution was risky. They probably couldn"t survive separately from Tianming for an extended amount of time.

"Hehehehe...." The woman in the coc.o.o.n controlled everything. Her delicacy was right before her eyes. She didn"t plan on slowly savoring it. All she cared about was violently devouring Tianming whole and using him to restore her youth!

"f.u.c.k you!" Tianming"s rage filled the air, making his eyes bloodshot, but his body didn"t move as he willed it to. Black smog much denser than before spread from his eyes across his entire body, entirely dying the whites of his eyes black like ink. But he still shone like a bright mirror!

There was only about a distance of a single meter between Tianming and the vortex. Ying Huo and the rest cried from the pain they felt throughout their entire bodies. Even the Primordial Chaos Beasts had been pushed to this extent, but Tianming still hadn"t accepted his fate. He wasn"t willing to take the incessant dangers and obstacles that Myriadpath Valley threw his way!

"Yin Chen!"

A silver egg shot out of his lifebound s.p.a.ce at that moment.
