Chapter 1203 - Fly of Azuresoul Palace

Everyone was thinking that as long as they could get a divine pill, even if they were eliminated from the Voidsky Skirmish, it was still the deal of a lifetime. That was a grade-seven divine pill, after all!

"Go!"

"He's coming here."

"Stop him! Don't break his imperial star formation!"

Tianming had thought that only the wargodeans would give chase, only for the other participants to be just as desperate. In fact, most of them tried to stand in his way. "Meow, you're up!"

Meow Meow zipped through the huge crowd. Hundreds of people tried to attack and stop them from the front while the wargodeans were charging behind them. As Meow Meow ran, it unleashed countless abilities. The blasts of lightning cleared quite a bit of the path, paralyzing and even charring many disciples along the way. It was as if Tianming had returned to the time when he was fighting tens of thousands of gods alone in the skies of the Flameyellow Continent.

Meow Meow used its full power as a Genesis Chaos Thunderfiend to evade any obstacles in its path. Not to mention, its Ninefold Chaos Thunderscape afforded it some measure of protection. People were falling left and right in the Blackdragon Palace. The chaos from all those beasts bumbling around caused quite a few people to lose sight of Tianming; he was much smaller than the black dragon from before, after all. His relatively small size and rapid speed allowed him to swiftly disappear.

He turned back and looked through the chaotic crowd, seeing the golden flames still there. The golden-eyed youth kept his eyes trained on Tianming, followed by the howling goldenmane skyapes. His aura and gaze were terrifying to behold.

"Can we lose him?" Ying Huo said, unleashing abilities from Tianming's shoulder to make a path for Meow Meow.

"It's going to be tough. There are more obstacles than I expected—everyone wants to take the pill!" Though Tianming hadn't underestimated the wargodeans, he had underestimated the bravery of the other participants. Even if most of them weren't from first-rate sects—some were even from fourth-rate sects—their ambitions were still strong. No matter where Tianming headed, droves of people and beasts came his way, all young and filled with nothing but desperation and desire. Even if they relented for now, when the chance came again, they probably wouldn't hesitate to do something suicidal for it. With their astralforce supporting them, they faced Tianming without fear.

"If we already dared to attempt to take this from the wargodeans, why would we fear Li Tianming?!" Those that tried stopping him were third- or fourth-level ascendants. With their sheer numbers, Tianming could barely eliminate enough of them. The rapid turns Meow Meow had to make slowed their speed considerably in turn, allowing the wargodeans to catch up, Zhan Yuance especially!

"Fly of Azuresoul Palace, haven't you had enough?" said a booming voice.

Tianming turned back and saw an enlarging golden staff that instantly stretched over a vast distance, heading toward Tianming with impeccable force and golden flames. This was the sheer power of a fifth-level constellier. The staff landed, causing a series of explosions. Now Tianming had enemies on both sides. Getting away with the pill wouldn’t be easy.

"Keep moving forward," Tianming said calmly, despite the pressing situation. The instant the staff came smashing down, he lashed out with the silver chain in his hand. It wrapped together and formed a gigantic golden shield above him. He had used a third-realm divine art from the Violetglory Star, Chain Shield. Though he wasn't too familiar with it, after obtaining it from the ancient idol he was able to understand some of its intricacies. Even after forming a shield shape, astralforce surged through the chain, making it a silvery spinning vortex.

"Keep holding!" The next instant, Zhan Yuance's grade-seven divine artifact smashed into his chain. A loud clang rang out and astral sparks flew, painting more than half of the Blackdragon Palace a blinding white. The shield partially lost its form on repeated collisions, though the blades along the chain kept scratching against the golden staff, producing a sound that was painful to listen to.

"How intense!" The chain's shield form quickly shattered, returning it to its normal state and sending it flying toward Tianming and Meow Meow. By the time he finally regained control of it, he and Meow Meow had been sent flying ahead and they almost tumbled. Had they really fallen, they would have drowned in a sea of other participants. He had been injured to quite an extent, with many of his albi damaged and losing quite a bit of astralforce. Zhan Yuance made Tianming aware of what the most powerful person on the sun of his age was like. There was no better representative than him.

"Amazing," Meow Meow said as it rapidly got back up. Thanks to the many beasts in front of them, much of the force of their fall had been dissipated.

"So that's the extent of your strength despite being in second place, eh." Zhan Yuance was still on their tail. His voice was bright and clear, though he wasn't aware that Tianming's ranking had changed after they entered the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. His skyapes surrounded Tianming from a few different directions and unleashed some flaming abilities toward him, then they charged Meow Meow with their claws and teeth!
