Chapter 2015 – Super Tomb

Imperialdragon Flameyellow Immemorial! It didn’t require much strength, just the sword will. The eight drumsticks assembled like dragons merging together and struck the drum with the black nine-headed dragon. The moment the drumsticks made contact with the drum, a loud drumbeat sounded, sweeping across the entire tomb and resonating with the walls and formation. A bright light exploded in front of Tianming's eyes as the eight drumsticks burst into dazzling light, like they were stuck together. Amidst the beating of the drum, the eight drumsticks left his hands and merged into the surface of the drum.

The black nine-headed dragon was bathed in light. Tianming could clearly see all the other dragon heads aside from the one in the center devouring a drumstick, triggering a drastic change. The dragon head that swallowed the silver drumstick turned silver, becoming sharper and more intimidating, like metal. In an instant, the dragon shone with different colors as if color had been injected into an ink painting. The distinct colors and different styles gave them an imposing presence. It was no longer a black nine-headed dragon, but a nine-colored, nine-headed dragon! Each head was a different color and possessed a different ability.

With the new changes, the wardrum formation of the astralship’s core underwent a transformation as well. At the same time, the Imperialdragon Palace was transformed after being illuminated. Because the Imperialdragon Palace stored nova source, it was originally bright. However, it was now really activated after being illuminated. With that, all nine palaces were illuminated. Several years had passed since Tianming had lit up the Silverdragon Palace for the first time.

After all nine palaces were lit, the wardrum formation and the entire tomb were completely transformed. The changes weren’t very noticeable from inside the tomb. Qingyu and the others only felt the tomb shake and watched the walls and formations glow. They were no longer black and old, but magnificent and resplendent. There were dragon patterns on every wall, along with numerous halls and pavilions everywhere in the tomb. From the colors and luster, they could tell the tomb was poles apart from what it had been before.

"Feels like it’s gone from a tomb to being the Sky Palace," Qingyu murmured.

This was the number one divine astralship of Flameyellow Imperial Star and the core of the Flameyellow Fusion Formation. The changes were probably more obvious from the outside. To a certain extent, the tomb had undergone changes after Tianming had mastered the eighth sword. At the time, there was the addition of silver dragon scales, but now the change was shocking.

The appearance of the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb was originally part tomb, part dragon sculpture. But now the giant dragon had awoken. Amidst the loud popping, the nine dragon heads emerged while the main structure of the tomb twisted, transforming to form the dragon’s body, claws, and tail. An enormous, colorful, nine-headed dragon soared through the clouds. Every head was different. One was silver, hard and ferocious, resembling a machine. Another was blood-red and covered in spikes. There was one that was as sacred as white jade, one that was pitch-black and cold, and another furious and fiery. Each head was many times as big as Lan Huang’s heads. After all, Lan Huang could jump around in the tomb.

The nine heads roared in unison, the astralship’s enormous body glistening under the sunlight as its shining dragon body glided across the flaming cloud, mysterious and mystical. It no longer resembled a divine astralship, but a living beast. The astralship formation was its core, ancient divine ores its substance, and nova source its driving force. It was a miracle of human wisdom!

"The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb might be different from Skywolf’s Greenvoid Abyss and Sanctquility Ghostrain, but it’s just as powerful and effective. When creating them, they added some close combat features and imitated beasts as much as possible."

That was the specters’ practice. Of course, it wasn’t unique to them alone. At the same grade, an astralship capable of close combat would definitely be more powerful. For example, the Divine Sun Palace and Starvore could only launch attacks similar to the Divine Wrath.

"Of course, that doesn't mean that divine astralships can be as nimble as the cosmic wildbeasts and lifebound beasts. For small individual units, that kind of close combat ability is useless." It would be very difficult for the bulky Ninedragon Imperial Tomb to fight the sun emperor with its claws. When compared to Skywolf Frost’s voidheart worm, the tomb was inferior in terms of agility and modification. Its real role lay in large-scale warfare, like the sun’s internal war. At the time, if he had possessed the tomb in its current state, its attack would have killed a lot of people. It was also useful for explosive attacks. In a battle in the cosmos, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb could launch explosive attacks as well as fight at close quarters.

"So although it looks like a beast, it’s still very different from a lifebound beast. Its current appearance is also different from what I saw in the painting in the wooden hut, which means it might have other forms!" The astralguard and fusion formations were both imperial class, so why wasn't the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb the same? It must have infinite possibilities. At the moment, the gigantic nine-headed dragon soaring above the clouds was already terrifying. Those who didn’t know better might think it was a super beast that blocked out the fiery sky.

"Awesome!" Tianming's heart surged. Although the was still unable to deal with the specters who had spread out, it would definitely be a terrifying weapon in future battles to protect the sun.

Before the Skywolf specters had appeared, the sun was relatively peaceful. But now its true identity had been revealed. Tianming had a premonition that the road ahead would be bumpy, so there was a lot he had to do. Taking a deep breath, he looked ahead. Great changes had taken place in the wardrum formation. With the change in color, the nine-headed dragon had jumped out from the surface of the drum. The entire wardrum formation in front of him had transformed into a ninedragon formation. It was still the astralship’s core, but in a different form.

"Let’s get this started." How was he to operate the tomb when the drumsticks were now a dragon? However, it seemed to understand what he meant. All nine heads looked up at him and roared, rushing toward him. Countless celestial patterns rotated in his body. In the end, it was as if Tianming was swallowed into its belly.

"What?" His body was connected with the nine-colored dragon, which was in turn connected to the tomb. A strange sensation washed over him.
