Chapter 1126 - The Divine Moon Realm Is Falling

"I agree. However, he may have reached the Constellation stage, while I’m only at Heptaglory Sky. I don’t think I’m strong enough right now. It’ll be a while before I head up to see if I can take him down. For now, I’ll leave him to his own devices. Anyway, the Flameyellow Continent is safe," Tianming said.
"We have no choice then." Li Caiwei hoped to get rid of Bodhi if it was at all feasible; undue delay might bring trouble. Unfortunately, the disparity in their strength made it impossible.
Once Bodhi was dead, the Flameyellow Continent would be worry-free. Tianming would be able to venture to Orderia on his own and escape the chaos of the three races. Even if matters here alarmed the celestial orderians enough for an investigation, they couldn’t slaughter a world that didn’t have a single god just to force Tianming to appear, could they? What Tianming had done was to protect the Flameyellow Continent, so perhaps Orderia’s objective wasn’t him. That was the best strategy they could come up with.
He had rescued Ye Lingfeng, so Bodhi was the only one left. He could wait. The current situation was much better than it had been at the beginning. Only when Feiling was reborn and Ye Lingfeng had regained consciousness would his dangling heart find solid ground.
"Next, I’ll head to Orderia and do as Godfather asked. I’ll see what’s going on with the experiment and how Qingyu is doing.”
Tianming would rather visit Orderia on his own accord than be taken there. Only then would he remain concealed and have the advantage.
"Perhaps I’ll be able to ascend the Orderian Sky once I possess Octasaint Sky-level astralforce."
Everything else was in order; all that was required was for Tianming to reach Octasaint Sky level. Both he and Li Caiwei were in agreement with regards to Bodhi—the man must be dealt with, or Tianming wouldn’t be able to depart for Orderia. Tianming hoped to cultivate in the wondersky realm. At that moment, he looked up into the sky.
"Did you notice the moon seems to have grown bigger?"
He felt a dreadful sense of foreboding. It was currently daytime, and the moon appeared dim against the glaring light of the sun. But judging from his observations, the moon was about a fourth larger than usual.
“Is it?” Raising their heads, Xuanyuan Dao and the others stared intently.
“It does look bigger.”
"Yes, and it looks like it’s getting bigger and bigger. Is the Divine Moon Realm capable of expanding?" They were puzzled.
Tianming felt the beginning of a headache.
“Visually speaking, it’s become larger. Perhaps it has expanded or grown closer to us." Yi Xingyin said solemnly.
"Closer to us? The moon has been in the same position since ancient times. Can it even move?" asked Ouyang Jianwang.
"It looks that way. It's still getting bigger!" Li Caiwei frowned as she pondered for a moment. "Do you remember when the Ninefold Hell first appeared? Didn’t it move as well? It plummeted straight into the Abyssal Battlefield. Tianming mentioned that the Ninefold Hell was a starworld that’d lost its stellunar source. That means the Divine Moon Realm can be moved, but how remains a mystery."
"Since the Divine Moon Realm is under the jurisdiction of Orderia, it can’t be moved without authorization. It hasn't been moved for hundreds of millennia, so why’s it moving now? It seems to be moving closer." Xuanyuan Dao frowned.
"This is strange, Tianming. Why don't you go up and have a look?" Li Caiwei suggested.
If Tianming wanted to know what was happening, all he had to do was get closer. Tianming was contemplating the changes. Never in his wildest dreams could he have predicted Bodhi’s recklessness. The man’s real goal was the stellunar source. Tianming didn’t know that Bodhi dreamed of building a home in the realm of chaos. He didn't understand fusion formations, but Bodhi did. He had no way of knowing that the destruction of the fusion formation would be the result of the Divine Moon Realm crashing into the Welkin plane. Bodhi was certain of the disparity in knowledge; there was no way Tianming could know all of that. It was information he had yet to attain.
Amidst the chaos, all Tianming could think of was one thing: "If the Divine Moon Realm draws closer to the Flameyellow Continent, wouldn’t its gravitational force be enough to tear this world apart?"
This wasn’t the same as having a hundred thousand gods descend upon the world and wreak havoc. This was total destruction of the world. Living beings, mountains, seas, history, and culture would all be reduced to ashes.
"Is it possible that Bodhi now has a way of controlling the movement of the Divine Moon Realm? Perhaps he’s sent the Divine Moon Realm crashing into the Flameyellow Continent so both our worlds are destroyed while he returns to the Ninefold Hell?" Ouyang Jianwang reflected.
While they spoke, the moon seemed to have enlarged further and was now the size of a washbowl.
"How can that be possible? His actions will not be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. Calling him crazy would be an understatement! Aside from the divine moonrace, he has no enmity with the Divine Moon Realm." Yi Xingyin shook his head.
Ouyang Jianwang’s conjecture was so frightening they had all turned pale.
"Never underestimate the extent of a lunatic’s madness." Li Caiwei gritted her teeth, her voice trembling.
There was no point in guessing. Tianming was about to ascend when the Archaionfiend dashed towards them with Lin Xiaoxiao on its back. Landing beside Tianming, Lin Xiaoxiao looked as if she had something extremely urgent to say. "Wu You says the specter must’ve seized the key to the fusion formation nucleus. The Ninefold Hell also has a fusion formation, so he must know how to control it. He’s planning on breaking the fusion formation by manipulating the Divine Moon Realm so it crashes into the Flameyellow Continent and removing the stellunar source so the Ninefold Hell’s fusion formation can absorb it. His goal is to seize the stellunar source!"
No matter how wicked the Archaionfiend was, it was the most knowledgeable among them. Even if its memory was chaotic, Tianming was certain that the Archaionfiend was at least 90% accurate.
Deathly silence ensued.
“Why didn’t you mention this sooner?” Ying Huo appeared, glowering at the Archaionfiend.
"Who would’ve expected a little frog to be courageous enough to swallow up the sea? Even the big guys in the astralscape of order wouldn’t dare crash two worlds together and kill trillions. I never imagined he’d be courageous enough to do such a thing, not even in my wildest dreams! Even if I had all the courage in the world, I wouldn’t dare!" the Archaionfiend said angrily.
This matter itself wasn’t complicated, but the crime was extremely grave. Not even the maddest criminals of the universe would dare do such a thing. The crime was beyond punishment from the astralscape of order. It would incur the wrath of the heavens, which didn’t necessarily mean death, but an unerasable nightmare.
