Chapter 3596 - Making Up for Numbers

Tianming's faithful had been terrified into suppression. He and his three allies were surrounded by thousands of assailants. Any normal person would have broken down at that point, yet he merely raised his brow and looked at Suishen Ranxing.

"You want to compete using numbers? I might not have that many on my side, but I have a killing machine that can make up for numbers!" Right as Tianming said that, the Blissful Union rumbled and the yin-yang essence within turned pink.

Fifty girls bathed in the yin-yang essence and linked together with each other to form a firm foundation. The power source, divine wonders, and users were all in place!

"Divine wonders have always been amazing at crowd control. These wonderians from the Upper Star Ruins might’ve introduced new abilities for divine wonders, but that doesn't change the fact that they’re good at making up for numbers!"

Tianming didn't even need Moran to fight outside the astralship. All she had to do was to use the divine wonders from within it with Ji Ji's help. Even though it was weaker that way, it was still more than enough to deal with a crowd of that caliber. The pentaphase heaven wonder went full throttle!

The girls' dainty bodies served as formation cores that processed all the energy that passed through them. Ten divine wonders expanded out from the ship. Divine wonders were fundamentally different from divine astralship formations; the latter dealt damage in an imprecise manner, while divine wonders could be used for precision targeting thanks to the wonderians' penchant for insane detail.

A hyper formation of five elemental phases encompassed the troops of the Three Exalted Houses, channeling the energies of metal stars, floral woods, tidal waves, blazing dragons, and stable mountains. The elemental aspects seemed primitive, but were in fact incredibly forceful!

"Just kill them outright!" Tianming had told her to not hold back against Qitians and Yumos. His order was a death sentence for the Three Exalted Houses.

The ruinous energies of the pentaphase heaven formation immediately ground quite a number of weaker reverends to dust the moment they entered it. Numbers were nothing before the formation's magnificent culling power. Moran and her sisters’ bodies were a fortress that protected Tianming from any encirclement!

While Suishen Ranxing himself was fine, the ones that followed him, including the leaders of the other two houses, cried out in agony from the hellish baptism of the pentaphase heaven formation. One after another, reverends died in excruciating pain.

Moran was near her peak form, just like the time she had sparred with Tianming's Galactic Emperor form. Her mere appearance stunned everyone, including Tianming's remaining supporters. They seemed to stop fighting as it felt like child's play compared to what was on display!

"What’s that?"

"It looks like a super divine wonder!"

"It's protecting Li Tianming!"

"In other words, the Three Exalted Houses' numbers aren't an advantage at all! If the eminents from the sacred and august houses flip sides, we'll win!"

"Suishen Ranxing still needs to be killed first."

Nobody had ever witnessed the lofty Three Exalted Houses being pushed to such a haggard extent. Even though they were encircling their enemy with greater numbers, they seemed to be the ones who were outnumbered instead! Even if some were able to evade the attacks and escape the range of the divine wonders, they wouldn't dare to approach any longer.

The reverends could either run or die. As for the hundred-plus eminents, the closer they were to Tianming, the wilder the attacks of the pentaphase heaven formation were. It was as if Tianming was surrounded by fifty bodyguards.

Suishen Ranxing watched as an eminent tried to get closer, only to be killed! The sheer number of casualties caused their expressions to shift.

"Suishen Ranxing, you're still just as insufferable as you ever were. So what if you've reached the super zenith? Even if you can defend Myriadpath Valley today, you won't be able to do it forever. If I were you, I'd surrender and ask for a dignified death!" Suishen Xiyue hissed.

"Bullshit!" Suishen Ranxing glared at them and called out to his troops. "Gather over here!"

The other eminents who found it hard to resist the divine wonders flocked to join him and resisted them together.

"Reverends, leave!" Suishen Ranxing ordered.

"Yes!"

Suishen Ranxing had made the right decision when faced with the threat of the divine wonders. However, Houses Qitian and Yumo had still lost nearly a thousand reverends; the Three Exalted Houses hadn’t escaped unscathed.

"Suishen Ranxing! Our house has no casualties, and Li Tianming and the others are giving us a final chance at mercy! We’re in a much better position than the other two! House Qitian and House Yumo have been crippled. You’re Li Tianming's father-in-law, and we also did him the favor of protecting him back then. I believe we can sit down and negotiate with him. There's no need to fight to the death! Think about what's best for House Suishen!" Suishen Ling pleaded, ignoring the looks from the Qitians and Yumos.

"Don't listen to what she's saying! She's just a woman and is ignorant of these matters!" Suishen Cang suddenly said when he heard his wife's words. Right as he finished speaking, Suishen Ranxing actually slapped his wife so hard that she coughed out blood.

"Suishen Ranxing!" Suishen Cang's expression immediately turned cold. He had never imagined that the brother and friend that he had grown up with wouldn’t give it any second thoughts before slapping his wife!

"If you betray the Three Exalted Houses, I don't mind. However, you’d better be ready to die a horrible death and be cursed for countless generations to come!" Suishen Ranxing barked like a demon.

"Fine, consider me gone! But mark my words: I may have turned on the Three Exalted Houses and you, Suishen Ranxing, but I, Suishen Ling, haven't turned my back on House Suishen!" Suishen Ling snapped.

Suishen Cang hadn't considered that his wife had long grown sick of the attempted wife-killer who drove away his own sister and daughter to the point that she sided with Tianming, who opened a path for them to go to him. Even their daughter was already with Suishen Xiyue and Jiguang.

"Wait! Patriarch, I'll go talk her out of it." Suishen Cang didn't hesitate and left his brother for his wife.

"Brothers and sisters of House Suishen, if you don't wish to serve Suishen Ranxing, we welcome you to come to our side!" Suishen Xiyue said when she received Suishen Ling. Many in House Suishen wavered; they hadn't been willing to give it their all against Suishen Xiyue and Jiguang in the first place. Not to mention, they could tell that Tianming had had the divine wonders hold back against them.

With the divine wonders deployed, everyone could see that Suishen Ranxing was losing his momentum. Tianming's reputation soared once more in Myriadpath Valley and the members of House Suishen were torn between the two sides. The Three Exalted Houses had only less than two hundred eminents remaining in total, with a hundred of them being Suishens. And half of those were looking to join Tianming, while the other half didn't want to fight him to the death, either.

They all knew that if Tianming couldn't be killed, he would eventually become a monster that would take down Suishen Ranxing. It was only a matter of time. Would they really bother fighting against him? It wasn't that they wanted Suishen Ranxing to die; there just wasn't a need for him and Suishen Xiyue to fight each other to the death. There had never been a need for Tianming and Suishen Ranxing to fight in the first place, having both been part of the same faction. Perhaps there was even a chance for them to reconcile.

As for House Qitian and House Yumo? Even if House Suishen didn't take any action, the two houses were already on the brink of ruin. There was no need at all for House Suishen to insist on splitting Myriadpath Valley into three to be jointly ruled with them.

The same thought was in everyone's mind: Tianming was alone, so even if he lived for ten thousand years, his rule over Myriadpath Valley would eventually be passed back to House Suishen anyway. There was no need for Suishen Ranxing to insist upon fighting.

The divine wonders had greatly changed how the Suishens viewed things. More and more eminents began appearing doubtful and fearful. The only ones willing to fight with Suishen Ranxing to their deaths numbered less than a hundred, most of them Qitians and only a few Suishens.

The old patriarch sighed at how the tides had turned once more. He knew that none of them understood his son. Unsurprisingly, Suishen Ranxing didn't say anything and merely pointed at Tianming, then said, "Kill him!"

As long as he was there to lead, there would be those who would follow him! At the very least, everyone in House Qitian and House Yumo charged. Even if there were only a hundred eminents, that wasn't an insignificant amount!

House Suishen wasn't looking forward to a battle on that scale, but they had no choice in the matter.

But right before the great clash, they heard an odd voice from the distance. "Friends of Myriadpath Valley, do you need us divine wonderians to even the odds for you?"
