<h4>Chapter 1933</h4>


    ming roars wereing from the meyellow Guard Formation, an imperial-ss divine formation. After countless years of dormancy, the beasts within seemed to be venting their pent-up rage toward the invaders.


    "What in the world?!" The specters had made sure to spread out to minimize losses when the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb attacked. Right after entering the formation, they were greeted by a sea of ming beasts that took the form of dragons, phoenixes, qilins, shenwus, and kunpengs. All of them seemed to be beasts from apex bloodlines. They menacingly stared down the specters before charging straight at them!


    "The hell?!"


    They cried in shock and surprise as they hurried to arm themselves. Then they paved a way down with their abilities and sheer physical capability.


    "This astralguard formation isn''t like the one in the records!"


    Many echoed that exact sentiment, yet they didn''t have time to overthink it for they were in dire need of an answer to the iing attacks. One after another, their abilities scattered the ming beasts, which returned to the ocean of mes, formless. But the next instant, even more ming beasts formed to rece them, even fiercer than before!


    The specters, in a moment of carelessness, let their defense line falter, allowing the beasts to ram into them and w away at them. Wounds covered their bodies and the blood they spilled immediately burned up. The heat entered their wounds and put them in even more pain! A good number of perfectly fine specters were torn apart by the beasts in mere moments, their severed limbs burning to ash not long after.


    "Why are there so many?!"


    "What kind of astralguard formation is this?! There''s never been any this strong!"


    "This can''t be! The historical records don''t line up! This isn''t the sun!"


    All kinds of theories popped up amidst the confusion; theirmunication was a mess, as they had spread out before descending onto the formation. The beasts around them roared so loudly that they overwhelmed all sound, and even transmission stones were burned up before the messages arrived. Most crucially, the mes obscured the view of those behind them, so they continued swarming toward the formation, ignorant of whaty in wait for them like moths to fires!


    The main takeaway of the specters about the meyellow Guard Formation was that it was incredibly noisy. Fiery explosions shook their eardrums, causing them to basically enter the formation as if they were blind. They shouted so loud that they lost their voices. This was far more terrifying than being inva. Apart from the mes, there were strong winds in the formation that carried waves of ming beasts toward them. It took almost no time for them to be blown into the stormy abyss of fire.


    The ming clouds had never been as chaotic as they were now. The sight even sent chills down Tianming''s spine. "Looks like the six hundred million specters here will have a hard time infiltrating the formation, though I wonder what the sun emperor''s side is like. We still have an astralguard formation below that, so we stand a real chance of winning!"


    The sheer power of the ming beasts raised his confidence back to the top. While the sun emperor may have destroyed the defensive formations of the many sects, he had brought back the meyellow Guard Formation, which was no doubt a benefit to any and all that lived on the sun. It was something that ran on nova source and didn''t consume any lives to sustain it. The sun emperor himself also had three hundred million troops to fend off the enemy, while Tianming didn''t even need anyone fighting in the formation to take care of the enemies on his side. Even though the consumption of nova source could possibly shorten the lifespan of the sun by hundreds of thousands of years, that was still far preferable to sacrificing lives in a desperate sh or allowing the enemy to wreak havoc on the civilian poption.


    "An imperial-ss astralguard formation could possibly be stronger than the astralguard formation of Skyway Monostar...." Without it, the normal astralguard formation and two hundred and fifty million troops alone wouldn''t be enough. While he wasn''t sure how long the meyellow Guard Formation would be able tost, the present circumstances had no doubt dealt a huge blow to the confident Skywolf.


    "Regardless of how the sun emperor is doing, I have to fulfill my responsibilities as the leader of the Myriad Sr Sects and get us an edge in the fight!" Tianming felt like the heavens were smiling upon him.


    "Li Tianming, let us out! We want to contribute too!"


    "Even though there’s only thirty million of us, we''re considerably more powerful in terms of cultivation level. Not to mention, the formation wille to our aid. We should fight as well!"


    Tianming said, "Very well! But make sure to prioritize your own safety above all. Don''t stay within the meyellow Guard Formation to prevent being wiped out by the sun emperor if he pulls any shenanigans. Instead, go under it to the astralguard formation that I control. I''ll leave you all to weed out the ones that manage to slip past the two formations! Don''t let even a single skywolf specter trample on our homes!" He had to consider many aspects as the leader of all those people. He always had to keep his guard up, especially against the madman of a sun emperor.


    While the elites with him number only thirty million, they were at least of the eighth level of the Constetion stage, with tens of millions of them being srians. They stood at the very top of the hierarchy of the Myriad Sr Sects and would no doubt be quite effective as ast line of defense. The meyellow Guard Formation had already made sure that few were able to make it through the ming clouds. Coupled with the fact that the enemy had been scattered by the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and weren''t in formation, it was likely that the confused rabble that snuck through would be easy pickings for the fighters waiting beneath the ming cloudyer.


    "Understood!" they answered.


    Tianming immediately changed course and headed into the meyellow Guard Formation, leaving the Sanctquility Ghostrain outside and unable to follow.


    "Did he run away?" Sovereign Sanctquility was still unaware of the potency of that formation. By then, at least three hundred million troops from the Sanctvoid Army had already made it into the sea of mes. Only a few had managed to emerge from it and return to the sovereign to report everything they’d experienced. At the same time, she also received a transmission stone from the troops on the other side of the sun.


    "The two billion troops there haven''t managed to breach it?" This came as quite a shock. While a certain number of casualties was certainly expected, Skywolf should still have the advantage.


    "Skywolf ze said that we shouldn''t be facing much opposition here, so we should charge into it to disrupt enemy lines before they join us in a pincer attack!"


    Naturally, Skywolf Frost would obey Skywolf ze''s instructions. This was a heavy responsibility. Sovereign Sanctquility bore the burden of carrying that order out, and there was already nobody left to stop her with the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb gone.


    "Sanctvoid Army, mount a full-on attack!"


    The specters that had witnessed whatid in store for them entered a blind frenzy of rage. All of their remaining troops charged straight into the meyellow Guard Formation, spreading its defenses thin. The countless ming beasts weren''t able to stop so many people froming in at once.


    "No matter how strong the formation is, it''s pointless if there''s nobody coordinating it! Once we reach the other side, this star will be ours!" The words of the sovereign immediately raised the morale of her minions. Instilled with courage, they calmed down as they faced the onught of the wave of ming beasts.


    "That''s right! This is just a formation!"


    "A formation without anyone fighting within it is useless!""Kill!"


    "How could weaklings like them possibly have a formation this good? It''s even stronger than Skywolf ze''s! This is ridiculous!"


    "Once we eradicate this world, this astralguard formation will be ours!"


    Their morale had peaked, and no number of people being turned into ash would be able to slow them down. Not to mention, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb was nowhere to be seen, so they were free to gather together and use their numerical advantage against the ming beasts. It didn''t take long before they were able to pave a way through the formation that measured about a hundred thousand meters wide!


    The defense line of the battlefield was under heavy threat. The specters put on a terrifying disy of bravery, savagery, and coordination much like a pack of wolves hunting in synergy. The Sanctvoid Army was also known as the cold-blooded wolves. Two hundred million of them fought fearlessly and savagely in the mes. Based on that alone, it wasn''t hard to imagine how much pressure the sun emperor and his troops were facing off against. Fortunately, the elites of the Myriad Sr Sects had been brought to the loweryer of the astralguard formation in advance. Once the doors of the ship opened, around three million cultivators flooded out from each of the nine heads.


    "Get in formation and ughter the specters!" With Long Wanying leading them, they should hold quite fast in their positions. Once all of them had left, only Tianming, Lingfeng, Qingyu, Weisheng Moran, and Yu Ziqian were left on board.


    The meyellow Guard Formation shook as the countless ming beasts shed with the specters. Deafening sts and cries could be heard ringing out from up above.


    "Thatmotion probably means that the specters have all fought their way into the formation. They’ll be able to open a path if they''re left to their devices!" Tianming''s gaze turned bloody. "Very well... I’ll let you all be buried in meyellow''s embers."


    The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb soared skyward once more. There was no turning back on this path of bloodshed. With the gigantic ship now empty, those that were left appeared quite nervous, save for a purple-haired youth that hugged his legs and smiled as if he was watching a show unfold. "It''s time I found another person to leech on...." He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a purple boil on his arm.


    "I told you I’d make you pay the price." A glint of evil appeared in his eyes as he looked at the white-haired youth.
