<h4>Chapter 2652 - End of the Road</h4>


    "Damn, getting savage, are you?!" Wudi''s troubles only seemed to add up. "Why’re you in such a hurry to bury me? You''re pushing my coffin in too deep!"


    The coffin loudly rumbled and resonated without end, shaking the meyellow Bloodsoul within. Wudi was uncontrobly shaken inside, to the point that he began to swell from all the bumps. It certainly wasn’t a pleasant sensation in the least, being subject to Meng Ying''s full wrath! They pressed the meyellow Coffin down andpletely surrounded it with their divine wonders. One divine wonder focused on pressing the coffin down, while the other tried to pry it open using the hands of countless eightpart apparitions. They howled as they toiled away, slowly squeezing through the finest gaps in the coffin. The shaking felt like nonstop hammering on Wudi''s head!


    "Their divine wonders arepletely focused on me, so that must mean they''repletely defenseless toward the meyellow fiends!" It seemed that an infinitum-ss ship was made of materials so tough that meyellow fiends would only be able to hold them back without dealing any truly substantial damage. As such, Meng Ying didn''t even bother dealing with them. Even if the surface was torn off and the ship was rammed all over, shaken, or pinned down, as long as its core didn''t shatter, it wouldn''t be a big issue thanks to the Dreamchild''s staggering recovery abilities. Like a rock in a stampede of horses, it wouldn''t actually shatter even if it was flung all over the ce by the horses'' countless hooves.


    Wudi tried a new tactic by using the force of the meyellow fiends to push the Dreamchild upward. But that didn''t seem to be doing much as the ship would simply be pushed back down after ascending for a while. If the meyellow Coffin was forcefully opened, however, there wouldn''t be a point to doing that at all. The meyellow Guard Formation would be gone and nothing would be able to protect the Sky Pce Formation. Meng Ying didn''t care about the Dreamchild being pushed out of the Sun, either; there was nothing else in their minds apart from the coffin.


    "Meng Ying, what’re you doing? Take out the Sky Pce Formation!" Shenxi Xingtian yelled through the transmission stone, though he waspletely ignored. The reason he was so desperate was that his thousands of divine astralships were vulnerable, even if the Dreamchild wasn''t. With enough numbers, the meyellow fiends would be able to destroy ether-ss ships!


    "Open!" roared the male child as his hair danced wildly. Thousands of corpse-like infants within the tanks glowed pale white with a kind of power as they became a part of the divine wonder. Eventually, the coffin''s lid began rattling; it wasn''t able to hold on after all! Wudi had seen some eightpart apparitions squeezing into the coffin and heading toward him. Fortunately, there weren''t that many, and they were soon vaporized uponing into contact with the meyellow Bloodsoul like moths near a fire! However, Wudi knew that, with the right conditions, even moths would be able to make it into a me.


    While the coffin seemed to radiate with power, thanks to theplicated meyellow fiend carvings on it, the enemy''s insistence and immense force was nothing to scoff at. The win condition for Meng Ying was simple: opening the coffin. But that simple task seemed to be taxing them for all they had. Obtaining the meyellow Coffin and Moran were the most important things in their lives, ever!


    Wudi could see that the faces of the two children had been contorted to the point that they werepletely unrecognizable from before. They were already incredibly near their final upper limit; their fear of death and yearning for a longer lifespan seemed to fuel their entire being with power!


    Wudi had seen those exact expressions on the face of Emperor Qian. Humans, gods, and astral gods were separate sses of lifeforms, but all of them had tripartite souls. As such, their innate naturesrgely remained simr. Even astral gods had desires and needs, and they were often even more potent than those of mortals!


    "It''s over!" When the two children exchanged a cold nce, they let out a dark howl in unison. The lid of the meyellow Coffin almost seemed to be loosened when the countless apparitions joined the howling as well. Their loud voices directly pierced Wudi''s ear. Without the coffin''s protection, he could be dragged out by some dozen eightpart apparitions, yet he could see that there were tens of thousands of them squeezing through the slight opening of the lid and speeding toward him! The opening must be prettyrge for so many to be let through.


    "Kill him!"


    Usually, cosmic artifacts were easier to take than divine astralships, as artifacts would reset to their dormant, ownerless state whenever their owner perished. On the other hand, divine astralships required the core to be assimted before they could be operated.


    Tens of thousands of eightpart apparitions charged toward Wudi like raving ghouls. He could smell the scent of death as he paled. "Guess it’s the end of the road for me."


    Even though he could logically process what was happening to him, he was filled with reluctance to ept the oue. If he died, the Sun would suffer a crippling loss! Tianming would lose everything. His loved ones would probably bepletely massacred thanks to the seething rage of their foe.


    "Tianming, my son! Save your dad!" He used all of his hope to yell those words. He didn''t want to die! While the coffin''s lid stopped lifting, the gap held, thanks to Meng Ying''s immense force. The apparitions that rushed in were right before Wudi, threatening to rain down aplete bloodbath!


    "You''re still counting on your son to save you? He''s nothing but a brat! Is that your attempt at a joke? If it weren’t for the fact that we''re in a rush to do something else, we wouldn''t have chosen to let you die so easily. Now, it’s your time to go to the afterlife. Tianming and everyone who is counting on you will soon follow." Meng Ying had killed enough people to know that those words should be enough to cause Wudi to despair.


    "Hahahahaha!" Even though the apparitions were constantly evaporated the moment they rushed into the meyellow Bloodsoul, they were still making headway toward Wudi. Meng Ying struggled to understand why he wouldugh at a moment like that.


    "What''s soughable? You''ve just lost everything!" the female child snapped.


    "I''mughing at your bad luck! The universe is so big and expansive, yet you chose not toze around in your cozy corner of the universe and enjoy yourtter years, but toe to our territory and stir things up. You really deserve the loss you haveing. You''ve just be our stepping stone!" Wudiughed even louder and clearer. Well, I''m just bluffing anyway. The real forces of righteousness will be stepping up for this fight!


    Those forces referred to the imperial way, impetus of the Sun, Omnisentient Will, and avoiding killing innocents. If one stood tall and upright, they wouldn''t have to worry about having a crooked shadow. Meng Ying''s shadow, however, was definitely not straight. In a conflict like this, the side that holds the favor of heaven and earth could tap into luck and turn things around. Tianming, for instance, relied on the faith and will of his followers to forcefully keep his body together as he assimted the Fienddragon Core. He had bet his life and lived to tell the tale! Wudiughed nonstop, knowing that the bet had paid off!


    Right just then....


    "Out there!"


    The two children were still wondering about the reason for Wudi''s sudden change in behavior when they felt a sudden threat to their lives brewing from within the dense mes of the meyellow Guard Formation.
