Chapter 1114 - No Green Grass

Translator: BOTA Fireteam

Tianming's heart was beating faster and faster. He had been shoving people aside and they were getting annoyed and demanding him to apologize, but he didn't care and slashed at anyone that tried to stop him.

"Fuck off!" he roared as he finally pushed them apart and reached the center of the crowd that nobody dared to get too close to. A black-haired youth was lying in the middle of the crowd with a vortex in the middle of his upper torso. What was even scarier was that his head, arms, and one leg were slowly scattering into grey mist. Tianming saw that a third of his head was gone, leaving only one eye and half a mouth behind. Once the scattering was over, he would be gone for good. The caelum was said to be a singular entity, so this shouldn’t be happening.

"Feng!" he cried, feeling his chest tensing up.

Ye Lingfeng suddenly breathed rapidly as his remaining iris dilated. The vortex in his chest spun faster and faster; eventually, his eye focused and returned to normal and he immediately noticed Tianming. Like seeing an oasis in the desert, he stretched his disintegrating arm out toward Tianming.

"Brother Tianming, save me! Save me!" he bellowed with terror rising from the depths of his eye. He used all his strength to cry for help. "Quick! Quick! I can't hold on any longer! I'm about to die!"

"Alright, hold on! We’ll meet soon!" Tianming's assurance seemed to give Ye Lingfeng some peace. Ye Lingfeng chuckled and his body suddenly scattered, with the last bit that remained being his hand that held tightly to Tianming.

"What in the world is this?"

"Why would something like this happen in the wondersky realm?"

"Who is that white-haired fellow? What is his part in this?"

They had many questions, but Tianming didn't pay them any attention and immediately left the wondersky realm. "Feng's predicament must be really urgent. Thankfully, I have the dimensional rope now. This can't be delayed any longer."

By then, all the divine moonrace had escaped from the continent.

"Big Brother, let me go with you," Feiling said with a serious look. "You need someone outside as a tether when you enter the xenomemory space. Ying Huo and the rest won’t be enough. If the rope is let go of, both you and Feng will be lost inside. I want to help."

Tianming trusted her greatly and didn't want to leave her, especially while she was still in the midst of Perpetual Nirvana. "Alright, let's go."

The two of them quickly got on Meow Meow. "Xiaoxiao, if something happens here, immediately send me a transmission stone!"

"No problem. Take care of Ling'er," Lin Xiaoxiao said.

"Will do."

They quickly zipped into the sky. Tianming had thought he could take some time to rest now that he had the rope, but Ye Lingfeng didn't seem like he was doing well in the wondersky realm. He couldn't afford to risk losing a precious brother for good like that.

……

The Divine Moon Skycity was experiencing chaos like never before as the astral killer's massacre went on without anyone there to stop him. Within two short hours, at least tens of thousands of divine moonrace had died. Bodhi was able to tell that Sovereign Xi was absent after he did a few test kills to observe the reaction. There wasn’t a single tenth-level ascendant in the city that could even hope to hold him back. He would kill anyone in sight, even those as young as three.

"He must have some sort of grudge against the divine moonrace!"

"Not even a grudge would make someone commit such atrocities!"

"Where’s Her Majesty? Why hasn't any action been taken?"

"Why haven’t we asked the celestial orderians for help at this point? Our reputation is no longer something we should care about, right?"

"What in the world is going on with Sovereign Xi?"Countless cries of despair and pain rang out throughout the city, and the Brightmoon Divine Formation was still active. Those within were being slaughtered like livestock without being able to escape. The once-elegant city had turned into a ghastly hellscape. Those within could only hide and pray, as there was no chance that any resistance would work. Corpses would always be left after a series of cries and shrieks.

This was a nightmare like no other for the divine moonrace. It wasn't just the capital, either; the other Eightmoon Skycities had also suffered a lot of losses from the failed invasion of the Flameyellow Continent. Many others were suffering, but that was the only thing they remembered. It didn't occur to them that they were the ones who had started killing others first.

In truth, there used to be others among them who could get in touch with the celestial orderians far away from the outpost, such as Prince Fengyue, the imperial guide, and the other city lords. Coincidentally, all of them were dead. As Sovereign Xi wanted her rule to be absolute, she didn't allow any other people to communicate with Orderia, which had ultimately resulted in this debacle. Now, a terrifying atmosphere had enveloped the entire Divine Moon Realm, with all the divine moonrace pleading for their sovereign to appear. But their calls went unanswered. If this went on, there might not be a living soul in the city a few days later.

Tianming came to the walls of the bloody city and charged toward the palace on Meow Meow. Nobody cared about them, as everyone was busy running for their lives.

"Do you see it?" Tianming asked.

"Yes. The killings are violent," Feiling said, hugging him tightly from behind.

"While you don't understand Bodhi, I do. I've seen what it's like in the Ninefold Hell, so I know how much hate he has. The ones that brought two hundred millennia of captivity to his race are the targets of his hate, both the Divine Moon Realm and the Flameyellow Continent. He’s someone defined by his grudge and will even kill divine moonrace children who had nothing to do with their imprisonment. Only by exterminating every last one of them can he pay back the blood debt they owe his ancestors. Sometimes, living one's whole life without any glimmer of hope can be worse than being killed in a massacre," Tianming said.

Bodhi looked like a refined and cultured person, with his skin as fair as white jade and eyes as clear as crystals. However, Tianming knew that within him was nothing but a sea of corpses and blood of endless rage and hate. All the divine moonrace they had come across had died in the most horrible of ways. Everyone who remained was fearful and anxious. Tianming's words reminded Feiling about Little You, who had consumed a divine moonrace infant.

Bodhi seemed to be someone capable of both love and hate. While he had a good relationship with his daughter, he’d forced the curse of hate onto the girl and caused it to take root inside her. Now there was only blood in her eyes, no green grass. This was a destiny so terrifying it made others shiver.

They had yearned to see the sight of grass for over two hundred thousand years, but their hate clouded their enjoyment when they finally got their freedom. Bodhi hadn't taken a good look at any grassy plains since he left, but chose to bathe in the blood of the divine moonrace instead. The curse of revenge in his veins would never let him peacefully rest.

The entire city was flowing with blood, and Tianming could no longer tell who was in the wrong. All he wanted to do was save the Flameyellow humans and Ye Lingfeng, but the races in the vicinity seemed trapped in a vortex that threatened to tear all of them apart. Tianming saw how horrifying a state the divine moonrace was in, with even their innocent children dying.

He noticed that he could no longer clearly see the world. The real world was a mess, with no clear line between good and evil. The most two-faced person he had ever met was Bodhi, who was a slaughterous demon in front of the divine moonrace, but a loving father in front of his daughter. Tianming couldn't stop any of that, however, as he was short on time.

Xi Palace was still completely empty. He rushed to the Grandfowl Water Palace and opened the formation around the blood lake where the path to the mooncore was. Then he charged downward as quickly as he could. Sovereign Xi didn't seem to be around, so where could she be? She had already lost a hand, and Bodhi was causing so much chaos in the meantime.

"If she's still capable of fighting, she should be stopping Bodhi first."

This might be his best chance to save Ye Lingfeng. He didn't even bat an eye at the majestic sight of the stellunar source. Instead, being surrounded by the terrifying fundamental cosmic force from all directions caused him to feel fear and awe.

"Feng…" His heartbeat accelerated. Eventually, he reached the mooncore and the xenomemory space was through the vortex in front of him. He tied the dimensional rope around his waist. While it didn't look really long, it could infinitely stretch in the xenomemory space, where there was no concept of distance.
