Chapter 3830 - Two Eagles With One Arrow
"We'll be able to kill two eagles with one arrow. Not only can we solve our current predicament and force Long Xing and Li Tianming to their deaths, we'll also stifle the Starfall Pantheon's future! We stand to gain much if the young geniuses of the Starfall Pantheon perish." Fentian He's eyes were filled with savage cruelty.
"There's just one thing—you'll be faced with a lot of pressure after you do that!" Yanri Huang said to the young cosmic god.
"After we deal with these issues, I'll go to the world called Ninesky Mistress. Let's see what they can do to me there," Fentian He said with a smirk.
"True. You have a bright future ahead of you, and those totemancers won't be able to do anything about it." After giving it a bit more thought, Yanri Huang continued, "Alright, go do your deed! Finish it post haste!"
"Yes!"
"Who do you intend to start with first?"
"Long Xing can't leave Starmoon Haven, but Li Tianming is able to come and go as he pleases. I plan to send the seven hundred million slaves to the top of the astral hole of the Middlekin Star Ruin to force him to split up from Long Xing. There's nothing good about keeping them together." Fentian He recalled the explosion of the pink middlekin star that had allowed Tianming to escape and fumed with rage.
"Splitting them up is even better! If we're doing it far away from here, the Starfall Pantheon won't have time to react and interfere, either." Yanri Huang gave it even more thought. "The problem is the Starmoon Guard Formation. It isn’t the same as the formations of divine tombs. It isn’t possible for someone to pass through the Starmoon Guard Formation with their own body, so they have to use a divine astralship. Someone among us must've betrayed us, but who could it be?"
"Uncle Huang, I was just going to tell you about that! I have some doubts...." Fentian He's expression turned cold.
"What is it?"
Fentian He approached him and whispered a name.
"That can't be possible, right?" Yanri Huang quickly shook his head.
"Listen to some details that I picked up on," Fentian He whispered once more.
"How could that be...." Yanri Huang seemed shaken after hearing it. He tightly gripped the armrests of the throne until it began to creak and emit smoke. Golden flames surged within his eyes, causing the hall's temperature to rise.
"Even though I don't know why or how, it’s the truth. I didn't dare to bring it up because I worried that you wouldn't be able to accept it," Fentian He sighed.
Yanri Huang's brows furrowed. "But then, Little Shuang has no reason to do that! If she really did, it can only mean that her life’s in the hands of someone else!"
"I also believe that to be the case. That was why I didn't dare to act too drastically before her so as to not alert Li Tianming."
"The problem now is how he could possibly control an eighth-level overflower from so far away?" Yanri Huang simply couldn't figure it out.
"I don't know." Fentian He's eyes burst with flames of rage. "He's always been mysterious and crafty... there's no way to predict what he will or can do! If we don't eliminate him right away, we'll have endless nights of unrestful sleep." There would be no need for him to take so many risks otherwise.
"If that really is the case, the only thing we can do is wipe Li Tianming out in an instant." Yanri Huang's voice turned even fiercer. "And even then, we won't be able to save Little Shuang." As the father of a young, unwedded daughter, it was an absolute nightmare. The two astral giants were filled with endless hatred.
"We can only wait and see how things develop," Fentian He said. "Uncle Huang, I plan to make use of Little Shuang's predicament."
"How so?"
"You should try to find a way to leak how I'm about to dump out some trash at the astral hole to her. That way Li Tianming will learn about it sooner than the Starfall Pantheon. Otherwise, I worry that the pantheon will apply pressure to me too soon."
"Very well." Yanri Huang firmly closed his eyes. "If Li Tianming really finds out about it that soon, it’d prove that the worst has happened to Little Shuang!"
Fentian He agreed. Based on his observations, the only person who could have brought Tianming to Starmoon Haven was Yanri Shuang. "I’ll go carry it out."
"Very well."

Tianming changed into a similar black-and-gold robe to the one that he normally wore. There were golden dragons on it that complemented his flowing white hair, giving him a regal aura. While he was only twenty meters tall, he seemed to pulse with power. The light that flashed in his eyes gave off the impression of an absolute ruler.
"By growing larger, my world has shrunk." It was an indisputable truth. After growing up, what had appeared huge to one's eyes in childhood would suddenly appear much smaller than they remembered. Tianming had grown ten times in size, so that feeling was only even more exaggerated. Long Xing used to look like a thirty-story-tall building to him, but now he looked only about five times larger than his current self.
"If I'm twenty meters at the first level, it shouldn't be long before I grow to a hundred meters." His size wasn't superficial, either; his astrons were packed to the brim, and he simply had so many of them that his size was out of the ordinary.
"My true cultivation path of sovereignhood in the Upper Star Ruin has only just begun." Tianming wouldn't have known how to rule over the giant overflowers as a puny foundationeer. It would look comical, to say the least. Though he was already twenty meters tall, he didn't feel like a giant at all, thanks to the objects in the Upper Star Ruin being his new frames of reference. He still didn't feel like he had enough mass to rule over a world of such a scale.
"What about Ying Huo and the rest?" Tianming looked up and saw a crimson-and-gold phoenix flying above, shining brilliantly with flames and magma. It had far more astrons than beasts of its level. "The Overflow stage is when astrons start multiplying in number. There’s thirteen levels in total, and the more astrons one has before becoming a cosmic god, the more powerful their base is."
Breaking through to the Overflow stage was just the beginning. His mass would change even more as he broke through each level, and the same applied to his beasts.
"Their boost in size has allowed their combat capabilities to surpass my totems' once again!" The Primordial Chaos Beasts were growing more and more terrifying. Putting eccentric ones like Yin Chen, Bai Ye, and Ji Ji aside, the four elder siblings had greatly transformed after growing more massive.
