Chapter 2378: Barbecue in the Ancestral World

Shenxi Shang had died in battle. Faced with the potential loss of Ying Huo and Meow Meow, Tianming had killed Shenxi Shang without much hesitation. After all, they were fighting in the strange hive ancestral world, and he was backed by the rules of the Infinitum Bodhimanda as well as the spirit of Infinitum Duels. His second totemic calamity played a huge part in decimating his opponent. It was a pity that his totems had had to be used as a trump card soon after they’d recovered. The gold- and silver-eyed ebons could be said to have perished by that single trump card. It was the reason Tianming kept his abilities hidden.

However, he was still unaware that the divine wonderians had appeared in Ebonia, bringing with them records of his totems. After slaying Shenxi Shang, he didn’t have time to think because, for infinite beastmasters, their individual combat power wasn’t the main force. Among his team, the dragonscale superfiend and world clam, which controlled the battlefield, were equally strong. And at the moment, Ying Huo and Meow Meow were listless, Lan Huang and Xian Xian were physically injured, and Yin Chen’s numbers had fallen to three hundred million. On top of all that, Ji Ji was in a deep slumber and Tianming’s totems were gone. It seemed the fight for the minor ranking had demolished most of his combat effectiveness. Fortunately, the world clam was still struggling with its shell closed. According to Yin Chen, the two hundred million locusts inside had been almost completely pulverized by the clam’s flesh.

"Let’s do this quickly. We can’t let them go!" Tianming rushed to assist.

Shenxi Shang’s death had brought about a change that was in Tianming's favor. Now that the warbeasts had no one to control them, their self-awareness as nova wildbeasts had been awakened. The most obvious difference was reflected in battle—they no longer joined forces, but fought on their own. The skydepths hyenas and dragonscale superfiend were two separate groups, while the world clam hid far away. Once Tianming was dealt with, they would fight among themselves in all likelihood.

"Ying Huo and the others have the Greenspark Tower. I'll stall for time, and they can help me when they heal up a bit." Tianming had his beasts pull back. The Prime Cosmic Rings expanded, turning into nine enormous rings that fell from the sky and smashed the hyenas. Almost every hyena was wounded by them, to some extent. Although they were fierce and bloodthirsty, their combat power had been weakened.

"Cat Bro and I have almost healed. Damn that Shenxi Shang! How dare he sneak attack us! What about integrity?" The man was already dead, but Ying Huo couldn’t let it go. After the taixi souls had dissipated, the chicken and cat’s divine souls were no longer under control.

In fact, Lan Huang and Xian Xian had actually suffered more serious injuries. Lan Huang's body was resilient and powerful, so most of it was surface wounds, but Xian Xian was almost completely bald. However, its branches and leaves recovered faster than others as long as it had flesh to devour.

"Let’s give our little sis one of these damn dogs to chew on!" Ying Huo said to Meow Meow.

"Chicken Bro, that isn’t a real dog," Meow Meow retorted.

"You’re a bitch if you continue to lay on your belly and sleep," Ying Huo said, dumbfounded.

"Fuck, how did you know.... What’s wrong with sleeping? My soul is seriously injured." Meow Meow pouted.

"Get up now!" Ying Huo dragged it up into the air.

Tianming was trying to restrain the skydepths hyenas with his Prime Cosmic Rings. Nine hyenas fought against the rings while the remaining one hid behind to rest. Its neck had almost been completely bitten through by Lan Huang, so it was the most severely wounded. Just as it was about to sneak around and attack its opponents, Ying Huo and Meow Meow appeared. Transforming into the Regal Chaosfiend, Meow Meow pounced on the hyena and struck with all of its lightning.

“Take this!" Ying Huo flickered from behind, combining its Blazebane, Cosmic Blade, and Mirage Starslaughter to pierce the hyena’s tail.

Genesis Bolt coupled with Chaos Fiendbolt had the hyena foaming at the mouth. As soon as Ying Huo’s attack landed, the hyena clamped its hind legs, howling at the top of its voice. At that point, Meow Meow took the opportunity to rip off its head.

"Eat this, Little Sis!" Ying Huo shouted.

"Chicken Bro, shellfish tastes better,” Xian Xian said, aggrieved.

"Eat some dog meat to strengthen yourself first. Then you can help me fish. You’re the only one who can deal with this big shell," Ying Huo replied.

"Alright!" From Xian Xian's tone, it seemed that dog meat was nothing compared to shellfish. Although it was hesitant, its black roots were quick to act. Just after the hyena perished, countless black roots spread out and pierced its body. Xian Xian devoured the meaty hyena in less than ten breaths, leaving behind only bones. The more severe its injuries, the hungrier it would be. This time, Xian Xian had almost been reduced to a stump, so of course it was starving. Several skydepths hyenas had pounced on it earlier, ripping off its branches, leaves, and flowers, chewing them to pieces.

Now it was time for revenge.

After consuming the hyena, Xian Xian’s branches, leaves, and flowers quickly recovered. The Radiant Daffodils, Scarlet Lilies, Demise Greenloti, Evernight Roses, Fiendsong Mares, and Ghoulface Fiendblossoms were in full blossom and the abilities attached to the flowers were restored. The Radiant Vines from the Radiant Daffodils struck the hyenas. Together with the Ghoulface Fiendblossoms’ attack, the hyenas were quickly weakened. With the Fiendsong Mares’ Trisoul Fiendsong and the Evernight Curse of the Evernight Roses affecting the hyenas’ minds, they soon fell into a state of confusion and found it difficult to distinguish their enemies from allies and started attacking each other.

Ying Huo and Meow Meow cooperated with the Prime Cosmic Rings to attack. Although the ferocious hyenas had already broken three of the nine rings, Xian Xian’s attacks had made up for it.

"Kill them!"

Ying Huo and Meow Meow attacked the hyenas, breaking the balance. It was a dog-eat-dog battle, and once Xian Xian began eating, there was no way they would lose. With every hyena’s death, the giant tree grew more lush and bursting with vitality, and its abilities grew even stronger. On the other hand, the hyenas found themselves in a desperate plight. Death was only a matter of time.

"I’ll leave them to you guys. I’m going to help Little Li." Ying Huo still held a grudge. After Lan Huang and Yin Chen had joined the battle, Ying Huo flew up into the sky, attacking the superfiend alongside Tianming. In fact, Tianming alone could suppress the orderless superfiend. His Imperealm Sword Formation, Fiendsky Arm, and two great cosmic impulses collided with the superfiend’s hardy flesh. But its Dragonfiend Shadow was still rather difficult to deal with. Tianming had failed to locate its exact position and missed several fatal attacks. Even space-time sword arts were useless against it. Fortunately, Ying Huo arrived at that moment. Using its Infernal Haze and Sixpath Infernal Lotus, it managed to pinpoint the superfiend’s position.

"Die!" Tianming slashed down with the Grand-Orient Sword, his Fiendsky Arm bursting with terrifying power. That one move was enough to behead the dragonscale superfiend; the fierce beast had fallen.

"Xian Xian and the others are almost done with the hyenas. It’s the world clam's turn."

They had no trouble dealing with the lone world clam.

"Blow it up!"

"I’ll do it! Seafood tastes best when grilled," Ying Huo snickered.
