Chapter 3807 - Terrifying Instant

"Keep going," Tianming said.

"Within the divine tomb, peak-tier caeli, imperial-class techniques, and cosmic tribulation seas can only be accessed by unlocking the formations using the ancestral heart keys. They’re things that the Starfall Pantheon have treasured for countless generations and outsiders aren’t allowed to see them! If you were their ancestors, would you really let outsiders use such important resources?" Yanri Shuang plainly explained.

"If I were their ancestors? Hahaha...!" Tianming almost lost it, but didn't mention anything about the formations or the ancestral heart keys.

"This is the most crucial point: the Midsky Tristars are busy dealing with Long Xing, while the top hundred youths of the Starfall Pantheon are those who have hope of becoming cosmic gods. All of them are maniverse-class geniuses, or close to it. Some of them are even the sole scions of actual cosmic gods. Putting aside whether or not Long Xing is able to find their location, even if he did, it’d take more than one month for a maniverse-class ship to bombard the stronghold to get to the promising young talents! How would you be able to make your way in?"

"Are you saying that once those kids are taken hostage, the cosmic gods of the Starfall Pantheon wouldn't be able to act?" Tianming asked, his mouth curving into a smirk.

"Of course. I used to be someone like them—I practically had nobody who could rival me. However, the Sundown Pantheon's divine tomb, unlike theirs, doesn't have cosmic tribulation seas."

"Got it! I understand everything now. All I need you to do now is to take me on a tour. Once the time is right, all you have to do is drop me off somewhere and your mission will be complete."

"Where?"

"You don't need to know now. I'll tell you when the time is right."

"Okay...." Yanri Shuang didn't know what to make of it. Was Tianming really planning to go for the divine tomb of the Starfall Pantheon?

Soon, three days passed. Yin Chen's bodies and Bai Ye's soul seeds had been spread far and wide and had managed to locate some places where flameyellow descendants were housed. They started working right away. Yanri Shuang, on the other hand, sent Tianming to an incredibly normal-looking mountain range.

"Are you sure you want to get off here?" she quizzically asked.

"Yes," Tianming said.

"It's really close to my home, Yanri Mound! Just don't head east," she said.

"Yanri Mound?" Tianming furrowed his brows. "Isn't that the place where they decided on exterminating so many of my kind?"

"Yes!"

"How far away is the territory of the Starfall Pantheon from here?"

"The cosmic lines of the Starfall Pantheon usually reside at the exact opposite sides of the world."

"Wow!" Tianming inwardly praised their shrewdness for hiding their secret tomb so close to the territory of the Sundown Pantheon. Nobody would ever have thought to go looking there! From that, it also appeared that the two pantheons had quite a good relationship. At the very least, they placed the defenses of each other's divine tombs in the other's hands. That’s some high-dimensional thinking.

Tianming bade Yanri Shuang farewell as he descended to the glowing mountains. "Since you're near to home, be ready to pick me up at any time."

"Got it." She left with the Ninesun.

Tianming focused on the location ahead, where nothing could be seen. However, it was where he needed to be to take his next step.

"Is your tiny hand able to breach a nine-layered fortuna-class cloaking formation?" Ying Huo asked with an odd look.

"Who knows?" Tianming took a deep breath. "I have to give it a try, anyway! I'm not even three hundred years old, but I'm at the same level of the maniverse-class geniuses here. Perhaps resources of this caliber might be the exact thing I need to turn things around."

"True!"

"Either way, I gotta do what I can."

"Can you use any omnisentient power right now?" Ying Huo asked.

"No, they're a bit too far away," Tianming said.

"Then there'll be big trouble if you're discovered. We're in the heart of their turf. There’s quite a few cosmic gods around, and we don't even have a divine astralship with us. Escaping won't be easy this time around."

"Well I certainly don't need you telling me that!"

"And you took the risk knowing all that. How bold of you, tsk tsk," Ying Huo said.

"Little Li bears a huge burden and can't do whatever he wants like he used to! If he doesn't act, what’ll happen to those eight hundred million lives?" Xian Xian nervously said.

The stakes were incredibly high! It was even more dangerous than facing a cosmic god in space while piloting a divine astralship. Here, once he was discovered, it would mean certain death. Nobody would be there to save him, hence why Tianming was under quite a bit of pressure. His sky-plunderer skills weren't too reliable, so he wasn't even sure if they would work. Not to mention, if he was discovered after he entered the divine tomb, he might even be cornered.

These are desperate times. I have no choice but to get the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb to come closer to Starmoon Haven, but getting too close risks being discovered, especially by cosmic gods. If I'm not in the ship, there's no way it'll be able to outrun cosmic gods.... He nervously took a deep breath. Then again, most of the maniverse-class geniuses of the Starfall Pantheon have entered the divine tomb. If I miss this chance, they might absorb all the simulacra tides before leaving!

Taking one or two maniverse-class geniuses was useless. He needed all hundred plus of them to grind the entire Starfall Pantheon to a halt! As for the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, he had no choice. Fifteen million people was too small a number. Though they had all made him their Galactic Emperor, it still wasn't enough to make up for sheer numbers like the trillions from the Infinitum Mundus.

This opportunity came a little too suddenly, hence the incredibly high risk! But if it works out.... There would be untold rewards. While Tianming had explained the risk to his beasts, his mind had already been made up.

"Alright, let's go!" The puny foundationeer who had fought fifth-level-overflower giants snuck toward the divine tomb. Starmoon Haven was so large that it took him more than a day to traverse the distance on foot.

"The nova-source worlds of the Upper Star Ruin are far too sparse! Even though everyone here’s a peak astral god or stronger, they really can't compare to infinitum-class worlds in terms of population. To think that a large world like Starmoon Haven only has a population of tens of millions...." Ebonia had a whole hundred trillion! According to the trend, populations in maniverse and imperial-class worlds would only get smaller and smaller. A large population of only cosmic gods seemed like something that only existed in the world of imagination.

"At the very least, the Midsky Tristars still seem somewhat populated, this world for example. I bet it'd be hard to even see large populations in maniverse- or imperial-class worlds."

Tianming sped up using Fiveway Blitzrun. "I'm almost there. The illusory formations should be redirecting me somewhere else. I'll need to make it through them to reach the true wall of the divine tomb."

Just then, he felt a breathtaking aura. "A cosmic god's passing by!"

He held his breath and fell flat on the ground, not daring to move. The action reminded him of the fact that he was nothing but a tiny bug in a fortuna-class world like this without his omnisentient power to rely on!
