Chapter 4624 - Four Cardinal Primogenitors
Tianming didn't act rashly, choosing to remain undetected and focusing on observing the situation. He noticed that the xenofiends that once filled the Xenoworld were all absorbed by the massive purple eye. Even Tianming could feel that something was different about the whole place. It was empty, devoid of xenofiends and wondersky realms.
All the xenofiends, including the largest one occupied by Di Yi, were memory crystals of the Primordial God-Emperor. The memories were replayed within the purple eye as the last of the crystals were being absorbed and assimilated.
Tianming got closer to take a look and noticed four distinct figures in many of the scenes. They were colored black gold, white, gold, and black respectively. All four of them appeared to be overpowering presences.
Yin Chen said, "The gold... one looks... like your... first wife..."
Tianming couldn't help but take a few more glances. He didn't think he'd see Feiling's face again here of all places even though he missed her once she was free of her tribulation. "Is that the Lord of Perpetia? I wonder where Ling'er is now..."
Tianming sighed. Then, he noticed two girly spiritforms next to the golden figure. Though the memory scenes were hazy, he could tell that they were spiritforms of Xian Xian and Ji Ji. The scenes cause him to fall into reminiscence, but he knew this wasn't the time and snapped back in focus.
In many of those scenes, the figure clad in black-gold robes radiated an aura of dominance. He didn't need to assert himself with rage to make others wish to submit themselves to him. He looked no different than the most powerful emperor in the entire universe. He was none other than the source of the path of sovereignhood.
The figure who could casually inspire others to submit to him was no doubt the Primordial God-Emperor. However, this figure was blurrier than the rest and only ever shown from the side, never direct to the face, not that Tianming minded.
He also saw a black figure that often appeared before the black-gold figure. The black figure appeared like a vortex without boundaries, the embodiment of endless suction itself. The moment Tianming saw it, he couldn't help but turn to look at the black figure within the purple eye. These two shared incredible similarities.
The black figure must be the Primordial Demonlord. Both he and Feng feel incredibly similar. Tianming noticed that the black figure in the memories seemed to be in a constant state of shifting. Gradually, three heads of joy, sorrow and wrath appeared, reminding Tianming of the Soulfiend that followed Lingfeng around. Did the black figure transform into the Soulfiend?
How are the Primordial Demonlord and the Soulfiend related? He was quite perplexed as he continued to watch the memory scenes of the Primordial God-Emperor unfolding. They only appeared because the purple eye absorbed the memory crystals. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to see them at all.
So, the four figures are the Four Cardinal Primogenitors? Are they the true mighty ones in the Realm of Worldgazing? Tianming snapped out of the shock. Saving Lingfeng was his current priority. He looked at the deepest part of the eye where the black figure within continued to struggle.
Brother, we finally meet again... He clenched his fists tight, feeling the pain and anguish of his friend. Though he couldn't see him that well, he was sure that the figure deep inside was Lingfeng. The Primordial Demonlord's vortex continued to swallow the xenofiends. Soon, Di Yi would finish absorbing all of the memory crystals.
"I have to get him out of there, stat, but how? If I strike now, I'll be exposed. If I'm not able to kill him in one strike, Di Yi might be angered and harm Lingfeng." He furrowed his brow, troubled.
Bai Feng reminded him about something. "You shouldn't make a move. Di Yi's soul power is at new, terrifying heights. I think you'll be wiped out instantly if you make your appearance."
Bai Ye added, "That prick has absorbed far too many memory crystals. He's like a volcano of souls, ready to erupt at any time. Acting carelessly will result in grave consequences."
"Then we'll wait." Tianming would remain patient and hidden until other opportunities showed themselves.
The massive purple eye occupied vast swathes of empty space. Tianming continued to observe the sides of the eye and could see that it would take quite a bit more time before the last batch of xenofiends were absorbed. He had to figure out a way before he ran out of time.
Then, the cold, lofty entity began to speak to Lingfeng with a voice of a disdainful higher being. "Child, stop struggling. You will not be able to change anything. Once I absorb all the xenofiends, I'll be able to break free of the Xenoworld. Using you, I will be able to find the Primordial Demonlord's corpse in the Realm of Worldgazing and subsume his true legacy. You are nothing but a tool to that end. Struggling won't change a single thing."
It appeared that Lingfeng's attempts to resist did cause Di Yi some trouble, perhaps slowing down the absorption. Tianming was even more certain that Di Yi was at a critical juncture. There was no way he would open the gateway to the Xenoworld at such a time.
"Feng must be the one who opened it! He's asking me for help!" Tianming was finally sure of it. Lingfeng must've gone through great lengths to open a vortex gateway without being noticed. Then, Tianming noticed the black figure within the eye pointing at a specific location. "Is he trying to point something out to me?"
