Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2629 - The Exterminatus Army

Upon seeing the sentence, Xiaodao and Tianming couldn't help but feel speechless. The absurd part was the addition of the word "thank you" at the end!

"Isn't this a bit too casual?" Tianming said, shaking his head with a wry smile.

"That's how our flameyellow divinities operate," Wudi chuckled, casually inserting himself into the group.

"Haha...." Suddenly obtaining this unexpected treasure put them in high spirits.

"Let's move this thing to the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb later for my disciple's safety. Also, Brother Li, let's try opening other secret rooms!" Xiaodao said with anticipation. Now that they had opened one secret room with their bloodline, they wondered if they could open more.

"Let's go!"

They soon got their answer: no! Opening other secret rooms required an even higher concentration of bloodline. And Wudi was still lacking.

"Don't worry, we can't rush it. This just means that whatever's in the other secret rooms behind this one is even more precious than the celestial tome we just found," Xiaodao remarked.

"But it probably won't surpass the value of the Gladean Ruins."

"Actually, you never know. It could be an even more terrifying inheritance!"

"Let's go have a drink!" Wudi's eyes gleamed.

"What should we drink? Flameyellow Bloodsoul, of course!" Xiaodao’s heart was in pain after leaving the fragrant bluedragon behind on Gladeus.

"Old Lin, don't be so stingy. Are you worried about running out of ingredients? Do you want me to...?" Tianming teased him.

"Get lost! You're no longer an innocent boy! Look at your harem-lord behavior... your soul and body are filthy. Go away!"

Tianming was speechless. What a character!

Outside the zone of shattered star fragments, a giant black and white sword floated, its tip pointing toward a pink sun deep within the zone. It was none other than the ether-class Judgment! Lin Jie had been inside it enduring the loneliness for over a decade. He was a man that could withstand solitude, so for more than a decade, he had diligently carried out the tasks given to him by Shenxi Xingtian. His eyes were like those of a judge, cold, ominous, and unchanging even for a thousand years.

But the subtle undercurrents beneath his gaze now revealed his current dissatisfaction.

In the midst of this silence, the golden transmission stone in his hand suddenly lit up. Lin Jie was startled. Within the stone, a figure appeared.

"Lin Jie, the Rex Mundi has given an order for you to return to Ebonia. There's a new mission."

"Did he specify what it is?" Lin Jie asked.

"It might be related to the Infinitum Swordsea," the person replied.

"In other words, the Exterminatus Army is about to set off?" Lin Jie asked.

"Yes. You're familiar with the Lin Clan, so you need to return as quickly as possible. There’s been recent movements and they might be planning to escape," the person said.

"Escape? Abandoning the Infinitum Swordsea established by their ancestors to flee to a destined ruin? Hahaha...." Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh, his face filled with mockery. He was the only one that had heard the conversation between Meng Ying and Shenxi Xingtian, so he knew just how dire the future was for those on the Sun.

"Forgive me for laughing." After laughing for a while, Lin Jie couldn't control the tremors in his shoulders.

"You've waited so long and the opportunity has finally come. Those people betrayed their ancestors and made foolish decisions. The precarious Lin Clan now awaits your return to save them."

"Yes, finally, this day has come...." Lin Jie stood up, chuckling, looking almost crazy.

......

Before the impending storm of silence, everything changed.

In recent days on Ebonia, the condemnation of Xiaodao had intensified among the trillions of inhabitants. There were even many millions that had gathered by the Land of the Words Unspoken, marching outside and shouting slogans, demanding that Yi Daiyan go on a campaign to execute the traitor Lin Xiaodao. Some even suggested slaughtering the Lin Clan to intimidate the traitor.

Although some people argued that the tenth branch of Gladeus had already defected from the Lin Clan, others presented evidence through Tianming, demonstrating that they were still connected. The so-called “Skycross Lin Clan” was just an excuse to protect the Infinitum Swordsea.

Ebonia was in turmoil and the Infinitum Mundus was in chaos! Everything had started when the first ebon expeditionary force attacked Gladeus. At the most chaotic moment, the second rex mundi, Shenxi Xingtian, had stepped forward!

"Yi Daiyan disappointed us, but he didn't! He and the ebons suffered losses on Gladeus. Now that Lin Xiaodao has gone mad, the second rex mundi has stepped forward to uphold justice for the Infinitum Bodhimanda and the two hundred trillion inhabitants of Gladeus!" From top to bottom on Ebonia, the ebons, once scolded for waging war against Gladeus, had become the savior overnight. They controlled the direction of public opinion, rode the wave of righteousness, and attracted numerous allies.

Many people of insight voluntarily joined the ranks of the Exterminatus Army, gathering around the ebons to prepare for the elimination of the traitors and the maintenance of the Infinitum Bodhimanda's rules.

"Yi Daiyan isn't doing anything, so we will!"

"She’s so embarrassing. Lin Xiaodao and the Lin Clan were originally her allies, but they openly betrayed her. Now she's in a more awkward position than anyone else!"

"At a crucial moment, we have to rely on our old Rex Mundi!"

"The ebons ruled the Infinitum Mundus for so many years and made significant contributions to it. Who’s Yi Daiyan? An outsider! She happened to become our rex mundi because of her personal strength, but what’s she really done?"

"She doesn't even have an infinitum-class ship. Faced with Lin Xiaodao, she can't do anything."

"The luxdaemons aren't even qualified to carry the ebons’ shoes."

"A bunch of grandchildren!"

Public opinion was a fearsome weapon. Under its influence, the ebons rose to prominence, becoming the sole bearer of righteousness and the top power in the Infinitum Mundus. In the face of that top power, Yi Daiyan and Lin Xiaodao had to step aside.

Yi Daiyan, a disappointment!

Lin Xiaodao, a traitor!

Shenxi Xingtian, a hero!

That was the current mainstream sentiment.

It was also the tremendous transformation of the ebons, who had been defeated more than a decade ago and had now become the agent of justice. Shenxi Xingtian had a point; if he hadn’t lost twice, nobody would have sympathized with him or the ebons. The strong were always envied.

Under that wave of righteousness, Shenxi Xingtian personally selected the most elite troops and the ultimate Exterminatus Army was finally formed, setting out on that day!

Countless ships, led by the Ebonfiend, charged toward the dark clouds, flying out of Ebonia and embarking on an expedition to the Sun! The scene was truly unprecedented.

Over a hundred ether-class ships.

A thousand sanctuary-class ships!

Ten thousand deific-class starships!

It was a force more than ten times greater than that of the Star Hunters.

And there was more. Only astral gods could participate in the expedition, and their number had reached three million! The ebons had contributed a million, while the remaining five regal clans jointly contributed another million. Hundreds of peak clans and enthusiastic individuals joined forces to contribute the final million.

The scale of the Exterminatus Army was truly historic. They flew out of Ebonia, a vast and unstoppable force, advancing deep into the cosmos.
