Chapter 2424 - Mount Taia''s Quintessence


    The astralships lit up and revealed the warbeast army, as well as the monsters pouring out of the depths.


    Attacked on three fronts, the Dongshen n seemed to be teetering on the edge of a cliff. They may not even need to get to the fight to be crushed by the ebons, but unfortunately, they wouldn’t even be given a chance to surrender.


    The ebons had been feeling repressed since losing the first rex mundi position while their prestige continued falling in various areas. Combined with an issue popping up with the Lin n alliance that cost them face, most of them were nning to vent their fifty years of pent-up anger on the Dongshen n today.


    “After we paint Mount Taia red, I want to see who still dares to makements about us! Fifty years ago, they were all ves who knelt down to us!”


    The ebon army really wanted to know how the Dongshen ants below felt. Tears? Regret? Hatred? Grief? Kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy?


    “Doesn’t matter, they don’t have a chance anymore, haha.”


    It had been fifty years. The ebons well and truly needed to kill by now.


    However, was the Grandnorth Dongshen n really quaking in their boots?


    ……


    In the center of the Dongshen n’s formation was a circr stage glowing with golden light. Nine ming pirs stood atop it. Countless spiritual threads for controlling the formation extended from the top of the pirs, forming a web that epassed the entire n. nsmen each grasped a thread and looked toward the ming pirs.


    There was an altar at the center of the tform, and all the important figures of the n were there. Among them were the n leader, Dongshen Yang, and his son, Dongshen Zhuojun.


    “They were killed by Chi Hun. I only stole the treasure. If I stayed long enough to kill three thousand people, I would’ve been caught,” Dongshen Zhuojun announced in a booming voice to his n. “It was all Chi Hun’s n! He purposely rxed the defenses so I would steal back the relic. Then he used that and me ‘killing ebons’ as an excuse to incite the ebons to attack our n!”


    At those words, Dongshen Zhuojun’s knees crashed to the ground. He raised an item that was ame and kowtowed. “Father, my kinsman! I’m the harbinger of doom for the Dongshen n, an eternal sinner!”


    Everyone knew that after setting up such a big conspiracy and sending so many troops, the ebons weren’t nning to give the Dongshen n any path out.


    “No! My dad’s the hero who took back our ancient relic! That tenth rex mundi is the shameless sinner. He dares to use astralships and the Infinitum Bodhimanda will punish him! Sooner orter, everyone will realize that it was him that killed the three thousand ebons!” Dongshen Xiaoli shouted as loud as she could within the crowd, tears running down her cheeks.


    The response to her shout was the light from the astralships in the sky, the shouts of the ebon army, and the howl of the underground beasts.


    The three hundred million Dongshen nsmen all silently looked at the altar. The truth was clear. They all believed Dongshen Zhuojun and hated the ebons, but the fear of n extermination wasn’t something anyone could avoid.


    Their gazes were trembling. Dongshen Zhuojun was their hope, their future, and their pir of support. No one could me him, as they all knew the meaning of the ancient relic to their n very well. Over the past few days, the upation of the mountain by the ebons had also inmed their fury.


    Thus, they wanted to see what Dongshen Yang would say now. Did they have any chance left with the enemy at their gate?


    Even the other Dongshen n experts were looking at Dongshen Yang.


    The old, white-haired man in red looked at his n before turning to Dongshen Zhuojun. The might of the astralships in the sky was making him weak in the knees and tears filled his eyes as he said, “How very vicious, ebons! You actually want to wipe my n off the map.…” He wasn’t able to me Dongshen Zhuojun, as he knew he would have been just as impulsive in the same situation.


    “Ancestors, give me an answer! What should my Grandnorth n do now?” Dongshen Yang looked at the ancient ming relic. He breathed in deeply. “Zhuojun, the ebons didn’t figure out the relic’s use after so long, right?”


    “No, Father.”


    “Give it to me!” Dongshen Yang grew agitated as he appeared in front of Dongshen Zhuojun and plucked the relic from his hands. He cut his finger, letting himself bleed on the ancient relic.


    Dongshen Yang screamed in pain as his finger was sucked toward the relic. Everyone was startled when his body visibly shriveled and his face turned white.


    “Take the blood of a child of Taia, Mount Taia’s Quintessence!” Dongshen Yang’s face looked worse and worse, but the passion in his voice was at its utmost.


    “The legendary Mount Taia’s Quintessence!”


    All three hundred million members of the n were shocked. Many eyes lit up as hope sprung forth.


    “Mount Taia’s Quintessence….” Dongshen Zhuojun froze before he quickly mbered to his feet, fire in his eyes. “Let me do it, Father!” He cut his palm and pressed it against the quintessence while his other arm pushed his father away.


    Dongshen Yang feebly staggered back and nearly fell to the ground. Those by his side hurried to assist him, but he pushed them away. He watched with wide eyes as the quintessence absorbed Dongshen Zhuojun’s blood. As he was younger, his face was still rosy.


    The astralships in the sky roared for thest time. After charging up for so long, the power they were about to unleash would shake the entire mundus!


    Dongshen Yang threw his head back and began roaring withughter. “My dear Chi Hun! You actually ignorantly returned our Mount Taia''s Quintessence! In our Dongshen n’s territory! on our Mount Taia! You just fucked yourself over! This daddy is going to send you home in tears today! Hahaha!”
