Chapter 2423: Execute Them All

Chapter 2423 - Execute Them All
The activity of the underground beast wave was so great that even the massive Mount Taia shook. Tons of rocks and trees were shaken loose and fell as countless pinpricks of red lights appeared on the eternally dark Ebonia—they were the eyes of the wildbeasts crawling out of the depths.
If Mount Taia was a titan, the underground wildbeasts would be a rash appearing on it.
The red lights all swarmed toward the mountain’s northern face, where the golden sun—which represented the Grandnorth Dongshen Clan’s tenacity and pride—was located. The blazing sun was the condensation of a minor sanctuary-class guardian formation. It was the same level as the luxdaemons’, and even within the whole mundus, minor sanctuary-class formations were used by more than a third of the fourth-level worlds to defend their entire planets.
Upon seeing it, most clans of Ebonia would feel an innate respect for it and not dare to challenge it, but alas, the Dongshen Clan’s enemy this time was a titan that had persisted the longest in Ebonia. The Dongshen Scorching Sun Guard Formation wasn’t too threatening to the ebons.
Billions upon billions of wildbeasts all flung their bodies into the sun like moths throwing themselves into the flame. The fearless wildbeasts were all driven insane by the ebons and fought to be the first into the fire.
Making war was the ebons’ forte. They had an endless amount of warbeasts and their deaths weren’t like the loss of a lifebound beast. Thus, their beasts populated the nightmares of many clans on Ebonia.
As the beast wave crashed down again and again, the earth within the formation shook. The buildings all teetered, even if they had their own formations to reinforce them. The air was filled with the chaos of beast roars, babies crying, and curses.
“Get ready!”
“Everyone into the battlefield! Astral gods enter formations, gods enter arrays. Everyone else, connect to the spiritual threads to provide power to the formation!”
“Understood!”
“Defend to the death! The Grandnorth Dongshen Clan has no cowards!”
By that time, the bottom half of the formation was already suffering the frenzied attacks of the underground wildbeasts.
“So, so many!”
The battle had just begun, but the Dongshen Clan had already gotten a deep impression of the ebons’ frightening power. They were the rulers of the underground, and their strengths didn’t stop there. Light began flaring up all around the Dongshen Scorching Sun Guard Formation as a thousand astralships surrounded the Dongshen Clan.
The exits of the astralships opened up, allowing ebon after ebon to pour out. They all had cold expressions as they formed up into armies while their fauna worldstones lit up. They were clearly ready for battle.
“The astralships will attack from above, while our ground forces will coordinate with the underground wildbeasts to take down Mount Taia.”
“Yes!”
Their preparations had been made long ago; however, an excuse was needed for so many ebons to ignore the Infinitum Bodhimanda’s rules and use an astralship to attack a large clan.
“They’re just a piddling Dongshen Clan, but they dared to murder three thousand of our ebons and our allies!”
“How daring!”
“They even dared to steal the ancient relic our ebons had already obtained!”
“Dongshen Zhuojun has already violated the rules of the Infinitum Bodhimanda! The Grandnorth Dongshen Clan must hand him and the relic over and accept a heavy punishment!”
As ebons, they’d grown up with a strong sense of superiority and had always felt a deep pride in their clan identity. However, the Infinitum Bodhimanda’s rules had stopped them from having many excuses to bully others. Thus, they hadn’t expected to be the ones bullied... or for so many of them to be killed! Fury had exploded in their hearts when they’d heard the news. Combined with Chi Hun fanning the flames, all they wanted to do now was vent their rage by exterminating the Dongshen Clan.
“They’re really revolting!”
“After the last fifty years, it seems that even random dogs like the Dongshen Clan dare to bite us!”
“How can my anger be appeased if we don’t do some pest control today?”
The scale of wars on sixth-level worlds was far beyond what Tianming had participated in in the past. He couldn’t personally witness it, but Yin Chen’s description was enough to convey the severity.
“Two ether-class astralships, the Silverpiercer and the Nethersoul. Silverpiercer’s specialty is breaking formations with explosive power, while the Nethersoul is a symbol of the tenth rex mundi and is capable of unleashing soul attacks that can pass through a formation to attack the living things inside. They’re being supported by over a hundred sanctuary-class astralships and over a thousand deific-class astralships! With so many astralships, a minor-sanctuary-class formation won’t hold up to a single barrage.”
“It seems that the tenth rex mundi wants a quick conclusion to this conflict so they can focus on Yi Daiyan next.”
“Victory goes to the one with initiative. The Dongshen Clan is in the wrong this time, so what can Yi Daiyan even do?”
“Ebonia’s gone too long without astralship warfare, so we need to finish this now! If we don’t properly stomp these pests, any idiot in the mundus will think we’re easy to bully.”
“Honestly, we’ll be letting down our sacrificed comrades if we don’t exterminate this clan.”
“Enough talk. All the astralships are about to fire. Everyone attack! The rex mundi passed down orders to execute them all!”
“Execute them all!”
Those ferocious words merged with the howls of countless wildbeasts and made the world tremble.
