Chapter 1523 - Go For The Head
It was a reversal without precedent in history. A frightening counterattack had begun! The celestial orderians had completely collapsed. The sky, underground, in front, behind, left, and right of them were all swarming with dragon beastmasters. Their army formation had been fractured by the dragon cavalry. Originally, the Ninedragon Army had still been able to maintain cohesion despite being forced to retreat to the Primodragon Cave.
However, the celestial orderians' center had been torn open by Tianming and the Dragon Imperials, while their left, right, and rear were blocked by a billion ragtag troops. If they wanted to deal with the ragtag troops, they would have to expose their backs to the Ninedragon Army, which would be a fatal choice!
“Don’t worry! The emperor will come soon!”
“Steady! The Divine Sun Palace can wipe them all out if it comes!”
The emperor wasn’t on the battlefield; rather, he was on the distant Xuanyu Continent. Not long had passed since Yang Ce died. Even if he used the Divine Sun Palace, he wouldn’t be able to get to the battlefield so fast. Furthermore, it’d only been a short two minutes since the Dragon Imperials had come out!
The celestial orderians' stubborn resistance wasn’t able to stop their defeat. Their losses skyrocketed the instant their army formation broke down, surpassing the Ninedragon Army’s casualties. And it was still increasing even more.
The blood of celestial orderians fountained through the air. Fifty million people was a lot, but it wouldn’t be long before they were all wiped out.
At that moment, the celestial orderians and Veildragon Palace needed someone to stand up. The leaders of this army were the Veildragon Palace’s three Dragon Imperials and the celestial orderians’s Li Xiaoyan and Apothecary Li. This scene of a hundred thousand Dragon Imperials was unbelievable for them, too. That was especially so for the Veildragon Palace’s Dragon Imperials, who had been given such a mental shock they were still rooted to the spot.
“Don’t stand there stupidly. Go kill that Li Tianming! He’s clearly the center of this oddity. Those Dragon Imperials are no different from corpse puppets and they’ll turn to dust once their astralforce runs out. We just need to hold on until the emperor arrives!” Li Xiaoyan immediately pointed out the crux of the matter.
“Dust?” The Torchdragon Emperor was stunned. He felt his heart clenching and his blood boiling, making his face redden. It was as if he had been seen through by these ancestors and endless shame filled him, even making him forget Long Renshe’s death.
“Work together!” Li Xiaoyan glared at him, then assaulted Tianming together with the three other three top experts of the celestial orderians.
All of their totems came out, each of them towering thousands of meters tall. Even then, they were still dwarfed by that nova source giant that was tens of thousands of meters tall.
“Die, Li Tianming!” Four experts sped toward the giant’s heart from four different directions.
Tianming was only half in control of the giant, with the four large dragonsouls of origin that had merged with him controlling it with him.
Seeing those apex experts that he had once had no right to challenge, killing intent filled the air. “You want to kill me? Good, I was waiting for you to come!” Tianming’s voice was magnified by the giant, sweeping across the totemancer troops in front of him.
Li Xiaoyan and the rest didn’t believe his current power was limitless!
“Whether it’s him or the Dragon Imperials, it’s just the death throes of the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect! They’ll be finished as long as we endure a little longer!” Apothecary Li mocked.
“Kill!” The four of them unleashed flying swords while their totems encircled Tianming.
The enraged giant extended its arms. Its massive nova source sword dispersed and reformed into ten giant swords! And those ten swords were exactly Tianming’s decapath era godswords!
The ten new novasource swords were all uniquely special, and stunned the battlefield.
Following an enraged bellow from Tianming, the ten decapath era godswords slashed down and met the incoming totems.
The Eastdivinity Acme pierced through a totem, eradicating it.
“Be destroyed!” It was showtime for Tianming. The totems were destroyed one after the other. Even though the decapath era godswords were damaged in the process, the overwhelming display was enough to stun the celestial orderians.
Li Xiaoyan weaved between the swords, progressing toward Tianming.
“Just you?” Tianming snorted.
Right before Li Xiaoyan reached the giant, the heart area manifested a sword that thrust out. Man and sword clashed! The nova source sword swallowed up Li Xiaoyan and his expression greatly changed.
“How could it be so strong!”
After his cry of despair, millions witnessed his body being utterly destroyed and turning into a mist of blood. Li Xiaoyan had died just like that!
“The sun emperor will arrive soon. We need to seize the opportunity to kill all these high-level members and get back the dragonsprings!” the Saintdragon Emperor, who was next to Tianming, told him. He quickly reached out to take Li Xiaoyan’s items, and indeed, a dragonspring was among them!
After Long Wanying had killed Li Wushuang, she’d also gotten a dragonspring. If they could get all the dragonsprings here, too, they could activate the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect’s formation. That would be crucial, so they had to finish this fast!
Tianming linked himself to the wills of the dragonsouls of origin in him and they came to a consensus: use everything they had to get those dragonsprings back!
