Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2870 - Countering With a Plan

The wonderians could traverse the Xenoworld to flee. So, when Tianming and the others arrived, they basically continued the previous method of dealing with Fengqing Youmeng. Xiaodao’s gourd was used to interfere with the surrounding space on a large scale, preventing Meng Ying from opening a portal to the Xenoworld for a short time.

Tianming had previously taken to the field himself to boost morale. This time would be a risk, however! Meng Ying was the rex mundi of Skydome, and Li Fan was also a top powerhouse of Myriadpath Valley. Xiaodao had only just become a foundationeer, so engaging in a battle with the three posed a real danger.

However, they knew that the pressure from Myriadpath Valley and Intrepidus in the future would be extremely severe. All they could do was wait, so when this unique opportunity had presented itself, they chose to seize it.

For that reason, they didn't hesitate to reveal Lin Xiaodao's foundationeer cultivation.

At the moment of deciding to take action, they had already informed Yi Daiyan on Ebonia. However, it would take time for her to arrive.

It was ultimately Tianming who decided to go into battle. Of course, he was the one who decided to come along himself, and his reason was simple. He needed to appear in the field of vision of Meng Ying and Li Fan so that they would be tempted into counterattacking the Lin Clan's group.

Ebonia was vast, and even though Yi Daiyan had the Infinitum Stele, it would still take her almost half a day to reach the battlefield. Yin Chen had found their targets with great difficulty, and they could leave at any time. Thus, Tianming understood that this battle would likely depend on themselves.

Wudi couldn't be relied upon, because the distance from the Flameyellow Guard Formation to this location was quite far—too far for the Thousand Foundation Divine Puppet to exert its combat power. The Thousand Foundation Divine Puppet had to be held back once more as their final trump card.

Xiaodao, Lin Ziao, Lin Changkong, and Dongshen Zhuojun.... The top powerhouses of the Sun had been mobilized.

They were risking it all. If they won, they would definitely take some initiative. They didn’t aim to intercept or kill Meng Ying, but solely to capture Li Fan. So this time, Xiaodao's task was to tie down the wonderian rex mundi.

Then, the three third-level cosmic cartographers would surround Li Fan while Tianming would serve as bait. Their strategy was clear.

There would likely be no other chances to encounter Li Fan in such a way again before the arrival of Myriadpath Valley and Intrepidus.

Xiaodao’s gourd could restrain the wonderians’ casual teleportation, which was a major factor. the wonderians were still unaware, though, as only Fengqing Youmeng had suffered from it before.

In order to silently approach Meng Ying and Li Fan without alarming them, Tianming and the others didn't even dare to use astralships. Instead, they had used Yin Chen for disguise and cover. In the vast starry sky, they were indeed difficult to detect. By the time Meng Ying and Li Fan realized the danger, Tianming and the others had already appeared in front of them.

A gourd appeared first, wildly trembling. It emitted a dark green ripple of light that locked down the surroundings. As Xiaodao's supreme cosmic artifact, it had become even more outstanding, showing signs of surpassing the infinitum-class. It had much more utility than Lin Xiao’s Sword in the Forest.

"Hmm?" Meng Ying was immediately stunned when he saw Xiaodao and the others. From his perspective, the people in front of them, including Tianming, were only worthy of trembling behind the protection of their astralguard formation and astralships.

"You dare to come and find me? Is Yi Daiyan here?!" Meng Ying was instantly covered in cold sweat. As a couple in unity, they immediately cooperated. The male infant immediately activated the ephemeral world wonder, while the female infant opened a portal to the Xenoworld.

They are only afraid of Yi Daiyan.

"Oh no! That gourd is interfering with me!” The female infant was startled. If Yi Daiyan were to appear at that moment, they would be finished.

“Wait!” At such a dangerous moment, the male infant realized two crucial issues. First: his ephemeral world wonder had instantly expanded to cover an area the size of a heliacal-class world. Within that range, beside Tianming and Xiaodao’s group of five, there were no traces of anyone else.

Even more crucially, he realized that Xiaodao was different from before. There was now the same foundationeer power on him as Meng Ying, the supreme and dominating aura of a lord of order.

"Lin Xiaodao’s become a foundationeer!" the Meng Ying couple simultaneously exclaimed. No one knew better than them how difficult it was to become a foundationeer. The Infinitum Mundus already had two of them, Shenxi Xingtian and Yi Daiyan, making them stronger than Skydome. They never expected that a third one would emerge!

Skydome had painstakingly worked hard, and currently, the ones with the most hope of becoming foundationeers in the future were Fengqing Youmeng and Fengqing Youyun. Unfortunately, they had a schism, causing Meng Ying to be greatly disappointed.

It could even be said Meng Ying felt despair for the wonderians’ future. The Fengqing Clan had no new foundationeer so it could only rely on them to persevere. In that way, the Weisheng Clan had a possibility of rising.

Precisely because of that, Xiaodao being a foundationeer deeply shocked them. However, they quickly understood the situation. "We haven't been here for long. Even if they immediately found us and notified Yi Daiyan, it’ll take her at least half a day to arrive! So, the truth is that Lin Xiaodao’s become a foundationeer. They want to use him to distract us, allowing the rest to capture you!"

"The target is me?" Li Fan, upon hearing that Yi Daiyan wasn't there, actually felt relief. He and Meng Ying exchanged cold glances.

"He just became a foundationeer and dares to fight with those who’ve been foundationeers for thousands of years. That's underestimating you guys a bit," Li Fan sneered.

"It's a bit arrogant indeed." Meng Ying, who wasn’t even afraid of Shenxi Xingtian, only didn't dare to touch Yi Daiyan. A Lin Xiaodao who had just become a foundationeer couldn't make them feel any ripples of emotion.

The withered faces of Meng Ying twisted a bit. Their ephemeral world wonder caused some trouble for the approaching powerhouses from the sun—especially Tianming, who was quite eye-catching.

"Even their most important figures have appeared. They’re too arrogant, completely disregarding us," Li Fan said. Seeing Tianming, his eyes heated up, and flames began to emerge from his flowing orange hair.

"They must’ve notified Yi Daiyan, but we still have a lot of time. Now, we have two options: first, use our wonder to block them, directly open up the distance with them, then leave through a portal to the Xenoworld. That’s the safest bet, and knowing that Lin Xiaodao’s become a foundationeer is also a gain for us," Meng Ying said seriously.

"Just say the second option." Li Fan grit his teeth.

"A probing fight! Their target is you, our target is Li Tianming. Let's see who succeeds first! They rarely deal with wonderian powerhouses, so they’re unaware that our strength lies in group battles. We can also be considered two foundationeer powerhouses. When our wonders are activated, we can simultaneously attack all five of them. Everyone except for Lin Xiaodao—even the twelfth-level cosmic cartographers within my wonder—will find it difficult to move a step!" Meng Ying sneered.
