Chapter 4497 - Ruler's Return

Tianming returned to the Sun alone. He felt the power that the flameyellow divinities brought to him. This was the power of their faith and it seemed like there was no end to it at all, making it feel like his entire body was alight with power.

"The flameyellow divinities seem to have improved quite a lot lately. If this was the Realm of Chaos, I would be an imperator of my own right to a people. Having omnisentient power would've made fighting imperatores there much easier."

The imperatores of the Realm of Order were inherently stronger than those of the Realm of Chaos, but Tianming evened the odds with omnisentient power.

"Compared to the time I fought the Wondersky Fairy, I should be able to take her on with only one hand!" It was clear to him that his power had grown, all thanks to the spirited excitement of the countless flameyellow divinities."

"Take her on? What will you do with your other hand?! Are you a genius innovator at those kinds of techniques?!" Ying Huo said dramatically.

"As expected of you, Chicken Bro. I knew you wouldn't let this chance go," Bai Ye said.

"Oh, you wanna see how I'll handle her? Let me demonstrate then." Tianming gripped the bird by its neck.

"Save me! This is bird abuse!" Ying Huo cried.

After some time, the omnisentient power filled Tianming and his lifebound beasts with unimaginable power, strengthening far more than before. The three soulbeasts' soul power, especially, grew immensely. They were a few times stronger than the time they suppressed Huang Qi.

"Let's go!" Tianming brought them with him to go looking for Huang Qi.

The woman was seated on a tall mountain peak with her bee head completely out. Then, a flash of white sword light pierced into her head. The flash was cold and sharp as if it could pierce through the world itself. Space seemed to tremble around it.

Huang Qi's massive bee head emitted a bloody glow as if it would explode at any time. If it really did blow up, the soul Sourcepath Shackles that the three Sixths put on her would be removed! She would be able to escape and become Tianming's enemy were that allowed to happen.

"Fuck off!" Tianming said, unleashing a slash from far away. The Grand-Orient Sword and his totems unleashed a boundless amount of sword ki, striking the white sword flash. They also carried the strengthened soul power of the three Sixths into Huang Qi's bee head, reinforcing the Sourcepath Shackles within!

Huang Qi could feel the shackles tightening more and more. It used to just be a formation barrier, but it seemed even more capable of offense than before!

"Aaaagh!" She cried out in pain as the Sourcepath Shackles pierced into her spiritform. The white sword flash also began to vanish, as if it had detected the reinforced shackles. Its user had disappeared without saying a single word.

"Thankfully, I came back just in time. It would've become a big problem if Huang Qi managed to escape," Tianming said, expression gloomy.

He put his sword away and approached her, noting that many of her compound eyes were destroyed and bleeding out. She was also writhing in pain from the Sourcepath Shackles. "What's going on, Huang Qi?"

"Hehehe... What do you think?" she said in a pained and shaking voice. "Hehehe... They will come at me two times. The first to rescue me, and the second to kill me. They've already failed to rescue me, so the next time they come, they're coming for my life."

"You might as well commit to my side at this point," Tianming said. "That way, you can save yourself. Once I win, you'll be free!"

"Once you win? Hahahaha..." She broke into a huge fit of laughter as if she had just heard the funniest joke in the world. Then, her expression turned cold as she looked up with her bloodied bee head, turning her many compound eyes straight at him. "Li Tianming, stop dreaming. You have no chance at all against them! Not even the ghost of a chance! You don't know how terrifying they are. You don't know what kind of beings they are. There is nothing but death waiting for you if you choose to oppose them. All I need to do is to beg and hope I'll survive. If I help you, even just a little bit, I'd die a swift death!"

Tianming felt his rage welling up at those words. "Sixth, mess her up."

The three soulbeasts tightened the Sourcepath Shackles. In that instant, Huang Qi felt as if spikes instantly pierced through every inch of her body! The pain had come from deep within her soul, causing her to tremble uncontrollably on the ground.

Tianming grabbed her by her bee head and glared at her. "If you don't cooperate, I'll just end you right here and now!"

"Hehehe..." She didn't seem to fear that prospect at all despite feeling horrendous pain all across her body. "Kill me if you can, then. Maybe I'll end up better off if you do."

This was the kind of situation that made Tianming want to puke. Huang Qi had given up completely, so the Sourcepath Shackles were pointless.

"Are those Aeternal Beings really that scary?" Bai Feng asked, somewhat in shock at the sight of the bee-head person's pitiful state. It was incredibly confident in the shackle ability, yet even that wasn't able to motivate Huang Qi at all. The fear she felt was bone deep.

"Let's leave her alone for now. We'll take her back." Tianming didn't have a choice. Then, he looked at her again and furrowed his brow. "Get her to put away that bee head. It's disgusting."

Then, Yin Chen went on to spread its countless bodies in the Upper Star Ruin. Tianming had a feeling that the final battle might take place in the Realm of Order. The only question was where specifically. Either way, he had to be extra cautious.

***

Meanwhile in the endless sea of stars of the Upper Star Ruin underneath the massive formation of the Heavenly Dao was a round table. Many imperatores were seated there. They were the strongest elites on this side of the universe, all from the Eightpart Pantheons. They controlled the universe at their whim, being able to move mountains with the flick of their hands. Yet, Li Tianming's appearance had utterly disrupted that state of affairs, much to their chagrin.
