Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3778 - Smashing the Palace

"What the hell?!" Su You experienced quite a fright. Such situations were incredibly rare in the dark Upper Star Ruin. They were already quite far from the Middlekin Star Ruin, to the point that the light from it was already swallowed up by the dark void of space around it. As the Cosmic God Palace didn't give off any light of its own, it should be incredibly dark around it! The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb appearing in its path to intercept it sounded like something out of a ghost story.

"The Cosmic God Palace was marked! Our location’s no secret!" That was Su You's first reaction, doubtful as she was. She had full control of the divine astralship formation of the ship, so she knew well that it was cloaked. Not to mention, even if anyone was left behind in the ship, there was no way for them to precisely tell where they were! How could they have been intercepted?

The mechanical dragon didn't give Su You the luxury of overthinking as it charged toward them. The dragon wrapped around the human-head-shaped ship and raised its dragon tail up high. Destructive pink energy burned bright and searing around the tail for a moment before it was plunged into the Cosmic God Palace's mouth, sending sparks flying from the resulting explosion. Countless shards drifted off into the void of space, immediately disappearing. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb bit open the divine astralship formation of the Cosmic God Palace before blasting it with black-and-pink energy balls, tearing hole after hole in it.

"How powerful!" Su You tried her best to activate the divine astralship formation in an attempt to slip away from the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, causing it to burn bright gold. The fire spread to the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, turning it into a golden nine-headed dragon of flames!

However, the struggle only lasted a short moment. The dragon roared and continued its frantic biting, tearing off more and more pieces from the 'face' of the Cosmic God Palace.

"One more time!" Tianming had the ship raise its sword-tail once more and thrust it toward the exploded mouth of the Cosmic God Palace, finally boring a way through. While the ship could be repaired, its breached divine astralship formation meant that it would be unable to do anything against any assault for the time being.

Tianming hadn't planned to entirely destroy the Cosmic God Palace. He took Zi Zhen with him and infiltrated the ship through the opening while the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb forcefully held the ship in place, stopping it from cruising anywhere else.

"Yin Chen, help us take down Su You!" Tianming said.

"Don't need... you to... tell me!" Yin Chen didn't like redundant instructions. A dense silver line of insects had already formed in front of Tianming, guiding him toward Su You. They’d been invisible moments ago and had only just revealed themselves.

Tianming and Zi Zhen swiftly made their way through the ship. Tianming was a little faster thanks to Fiveway Blitzrun and soon reached the bridge of the Cosmic God Palace. With the power of the Galactic Emperor, he smashed his way through the shut door.

"Yanri Shuang! Help!" Su You cried from within.

Tianming turned and saw a sixth-level overflower in front of him, a totemancer about the same size as Mo Fan.

"Li Tianming, let's not be rash!" Su You said, her face turning pale.

"Far from it! I'll calmly exterminate you!" Tianming charged ahead. Before he’d even reached her, Bai Ye's Phantasmic Bubbles had already struck her sixty-meter-tall body. As Su You was the controller of the Cosmic God Palace, they had to kill her first to ensure that the ship couldn't fly off.

"How dare you?!" Su You's expression changed as she suffered a bubbly assault in her brain. Then a purple figure charged past Tianming and delivered a punch squarely on Su You, causing her to explode and scatter a lot of her astrons.

"You lowly slaves deserve to be completely exterminated!" Su You cried as she suffered physical and spiritual attacks in tandem. Then, a sword flash swept across, turning into a storm of sword ki with the power of the decapath era godswords, slaying the sixty-meter-tall giant in a single move!

With Su You dead, the Cosmic God Palace had lost its controller. Its control core appeared and Tianming immediately took it. The ship around them began powering down, a sign that half of Tianming's mission had succeeded. The Cosmic God Palace was nothing more than a ship that was adrift in the darkness of space. There was nobody around to save it. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb also dimmed its lights to the point that it was invisible to everything around it. There would be no help coming their way.

"She is... already here!" Yin Chen said.

Tianming felt a terrifying aura behind him even before Yin Chen had detected it. Both he and Zi Zhen turned around. They saw a blinding platinum radiance approach them, illuminating the darkness in the Cosmic God Palace's corridors. It was such a blinding light that the ship even slightly glowed from the outside.

"So this is one of the top five maniverse-class geniuses in Starmoon Haven, Yanri Shuang. She's an eighth-level overflower at the age of five hundred." If such a being had descended in the Lower Star Ruins, she would be able to flatten Myriadpath Valley with a single finger and exterminate millions of foundationeers. The only reason someone like her wouldn't do so was the fear of being tainted.

The control room brightened as the astral goddess descended before Tianming and Zi Zhen. Her curly golden locks looked like blooming flowers, her snow-white skin glowed with astral brilliance, and her deep, distant eyes resembled planets of gold crystal. Her perfectly sculpted face and enchanting, eighty-meter-tall figure were perfectly wrapped in a short, jewel-covered dress. The genius overflower was a feast for the eyes from top to bottom!
