Chapter 1977
"Normally, we’d take this opportunity to let more celestial orderians die. It would stack the odds in our favor, and it wouldn\'t be too late to deal with Sovereign Redforge once he comes for us," the Northdipper Swordsage said.
The Saintdragon Emperor, however, shook his head.
"What do you think?" Tianming asked. He wanted to make sure the seniors\' voices were heard.
"That sovereign is killing normal civilians, not soldiers. Not to mention, the deaths of his people will affect the sun emperor while he\'s fighting. If he\'s taken down by Grand Emperor Starvore, we’ll be in deep trouble ourselves. So far, Skywolf is still the strongest faction among the three of us. If we split hairs with the celestial orderians at a time like this, it only benefits Skywolf. Now that Skywolf Frost is gone, they won’t hesitate to wipe us all out if they emerge victorious. However, the sun emperor won\'t eliminate all beastmasters. In other words, letting Skywolf win would be more dangerous for us. We should form a united front against Skywolf and settle the debt with the sun emperor after this is all over."
Tianming was also of the same opinion. It was true that the sun emperor hadn\'t messed with the Myriad Solar Sects since the start of the invasion, and should he lose, the Myriad Solar Sects would also be in trouble. Even a single sovereign could wreak havoc in the tens of billions when allowed to do as he pleased. It was similar to the Divine Sun Palace attacking the territories of the Myriad Solar Sects. The sun emperor had only attacked elite fighters, and most of them had defensive formations, but Sovereign Redforge went for exposed and weak targets. While some would think that helping the civilians of the celestial orderians was foolish, Tianming gave it some thought and still agreed with the Saintdragon Emperor.
"It isn’t the time for petty tricks." There was no good to be gained by allowing Skywolf to do whatever it wanted. It wasn\'t hard to imagine how history would judge such an action.
The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb set out to stop the atrocity right away. "Now, let\'s get rid of the last sovereign! I wonder if Feng will work with me this time around."
......
The weather was a combination of fiery rain and falling corpses. That, coupled with the darkened flaming clouds, made for quite the rare sight. Every single corpse that fell was practically unharmed, but they had all lost their souls. Both the rain and the corpses left large craters on the ground. The celestial orderian homeland was burning red to begin with, but since the sun had consumed Skywolf Frost, many frosty areas had appeared and blended with the flames. The combination generated a lot of fog, which the celestial orderians found foreign and difficult to get used to.
It also made it harder for Yin Chen\'s surveillance, but it knew that the sun emperor was somewhere within the fog, fighting the Starvore. The true rulers of the sun and Skywolf had assembled at the right place. In the middle of the fog, a gold-haired man was bathing in flames. The sun emperor beheld the gigantic Starvore with a cold smirk and a calm expression, not shaken in the slightest even as the figurative sky fell toward him. His stare was returned with an evaluatory gaze by the three joint rulers of Skywolf.
"Where’s your divine astralship?" came the deep voice of Grand Emperor Starvore from within the fog.
"In a clash of sovereigns, using our ships is rather pointless. I worry that people will laugh at us for something as cowardly as staying hidden inside our shells," the sun emperor answered.
"You\'re just saying that because you\'re at a disadvantage," Empress Yu mocked.
"Sweetheart, the men are talking, so don\'t interject. Leave it to the men, alright?" While he couldn\'t see her within the ship, the sun emperor could hear the mockery in her tone.
"I didn\'t think that the so-called ruler of the sun would be so low class. Is there no worthy woman in your world that taught you to not be such a prick?" she snapped back.
"There isn\'t, so that\'s why you two will be my prize. Once your man dies, you can serve me since you\'re so worthy. I haven\'t fucked female sovereigns before. Used goods you may be, but I\'ll give you extra points for the exotic experience. Not to mention, I heard that specters are especially flexible, so that\'s something to look forward to." The sun emperor shrugged and kept smiling, but the ones within the Starvore fell silent.
"Words are wasted on a low-class animal of his caliber. The situation is quite dire for us. We should just kill him and collapse their fighting spirit before we contemplate how to deal with that monster up above," Empress Ying said.
The sun emperor had boldly come before the Starvore without his divine astralship. A human was nothing more than a fly before might like that, though it would be hard to shoot down a fly with large cannons as well. But if the three of them left their ship, they would be giving up on their main advantage.
"The fact that he dares to challenge us means he\'s confident in his fighting capability," Empress Ying said with her brows furrowed.
"Perhaps he\'s just putting up a front. Had he come with his divine astralship, he would’ve been shot down much more easily. However, baiting us to fight him three-on-one is just as foolish," Empress Yu said. They weren\'t afraid of the sun emperor, but it never hurt to be careful during such a peculiar situation.
"Let\'s try wiping him out with the Starvore first. If we\'re lucky, we\'ll vaporize him in one shot." The two women\'s eyes met in agreement.
"Let\'s give it a try then," Grand Emperor Starvore said. There was basically no chance that the sun emperor would be able to anger them with words alone.
"Target locked."
"Fire!"
A blinding white light pierced through the fog, erasing everything within a hundred thousand meters along the way.
