Chapter 4604 - Defending Their Home

Zi Zhen and Mo Si fought the most primal kind of battle imaginable. Every punch, kick, and sweep of their tails carried overwhelming destructive force.

A casual tail whip from Zi Zhen could pulverize an imperator, but her opponent matched her blow for blow.

And now, seeing the enemy attempt to corrupt the entire Flameyellow Imperial Star, Zi Zhen's fury burned hotter than ever. She knew how important the people of the Imperial Star—and the countless citizens of the Tianming Dynasty across the universe—were to Tianming.

Not merely because of the omnisentient threads.

But because this was their home.

Tianming's home. Her home. The home of everyone they cared about.

A home was not to be defiled!

Six crimson pupils opened, and combined with her recent breakthrough, her combat strength soared to unimaginable heights. A single thought would be enough for Imperator Shen or Imperator Mo to die. Those former rulers were little more than foot soldiers to her now.

However... Her opponent was one of the Aeternal Beings. Even the projection of their true self still far surpassed the limits of any imperator.

The two demonic figures tangled in the sky, moving with speed and force that represented the pinnacle of the cosmos. They ripped, pierced, and battered one another, sending clouds of blood exploding through the heavens.

Compared to that brutal struggle, the Great Wall of Wudi appeared almost calm.

But the outermost layers of the firewall were constantly shuddering under violent impacts, sparks erupting nonstop. The battle inside was far more intense than anyone could see.

"Hold the line, Li Wudi!" The colossal five-hundred-thousand-meter Coffin Man was repeatedly throwing himself at Huang Liu.

The six cauldrons had become six independent bodies. Each bore a rotting, foul-smelling head with a single eye radiating deadly malevolence. Again and again, they slammed into the surrounding walls of fire, every collision shattering several layers and opening temporary gaps.

Fortunately, nine hundred billion imperial fiends would take a while to get through.

Still, Wudi could feel that every impact cost tens of thousands of imperial fiends.

So he unleashed everything he had.

Uncle Tai Xu.

All of his totems.

Every ounce of his strength went into defending the walls.

This thing is disgusting! If I'd finished mastering that move earlier, I wouldn't be this passive... Anxiety gnawed at him.

His defensive power was immense. Time and again, he blocked Huang Liu's charges with his own body. Though the impacts left him reeling, neither he nor Uncle Tai Xu suffered any real injury.

Yet that was the most they could do. No matter how desperately Wudi intercepted them, he couldn't stop six cauldrons.

"Old bastard, is that all you've got?" he shouted while blocking another collision. "You're barely scratching me!"

His ancestral taunting technique was in full force.

"Didn't get enough milk as a kid? Put some muscle into it!

"You really are a Number Six. All you know is how to bully civilians!

"Think about it. Numbers One through Five are all above you. They could take a shit on your head and you'd still have to accept it. Doesn't that feel pathetic?

"Is it a bird? Is it an astralship? Oh wait, it’s six flying chamberpots! One for each of Numbers One through Five, and the last one for yourself. Perfect!"

Ordinary insults would never have affected Huang Liu, but Wudi's mastery of provocation had surpassed the imperator-level. He knew that being ranked sixth was a sore point.

Whether Huang Liu admitted it or not, the taunts gradually eroded his composure.

"You’ll suffer a thousandfold for this!" Huang Liu shrieked in fury.

"Oh? Wait, are you disgusted by the thought of someone taking a dump in your cauldron?" Wudi widened his eyes theatrically. "Have you smelled yourself? Looked in a mirror? You're an assault on both my eyes and nose, yet you're the one getting offended?"

The six heads atop the cauldrons looked ready to explode. Six enormous eyes fixed on Li Wudi from every direction.

In the end, however, Huang Liu ignored him and resumed smashing into the firewalls. Each destroyed layer represented the loss of tens of thousands of imperial fiends.

The enclosed battlefield had become saturated with plague-filled toxic mist. The stench was so foul that even Wudi struggled to endure it.

Yet for the time being, Huang Liu still could not break through.

Both Aeternal Beings were stuck in a stalemate.

Dongfang Taisheng and the others finally breathed a little easier.

Meanwhile, Mushan Feng had assembled every cosmic-god army.

"All troops, listen carefully! If the Great Wall of Wudi falls, form a living wall immediately. No matter the cost, delay the spread of the plague for as long as possible!"

Every cosmic god wore a solemn expression. They all understood what that order meant.

But to protect the people, these soldiers would not hesitate to march to their deaths.

At the same time, outside the Flameyellow Imperial Star, the gray-pink prison around the golden star that was connected to the Ancestral World continued to collapse.

Endless streams of gray-pink energy flowed into the golden crystal star at its center.

It seemed that Jiang Feiling's final Nirvana Tribulation had finally reached its critical moment. Countless gray-pink worm-like creatures poured out from the Ancestral World, the stress causing the passage between the two worlds to crumble further.

They swarmed across the golden star in overwhelming numbers, nearly engulfing it completely.

Within the layers of wonders, Moran watched with mounting anxiety as the golden light rapidly diminished.

Everywhere she looked, gray-pink power had taken over. Cracks had even begun to appear on the surface of the golden crystal star as though it could shatter at any moment.
