Chapter 4010 – It’s a Trap
The strengths and weaknesses of the ashuras were common knowledge. Thus, many opponents had tried to exploit those weaknesses, but it wasn’t easy. Take Dugu Yao, for instance. His formidable fiendsky eye could launch soul attacks and he had many warbeasts by his side.
That was why Tianming’s instant kill caused such an uproar. Shock rippled through over a thousand worlds as countless members of the Eightpart Pantheons were left stunned, as if they had been slapped silly.
“Dugu Yao didn’t even manifest his cosmic god essence! That means his soul was instantly destroyed!”
“But the soul’s the strongest trait of the ashuras....”
Billions of voices cried out across every nova source world. Targeting the weak point of an ashura wasn’t much of a feat. But to crush their soul in a head-on contest utterly disgraced the ashuras!
A cloud of malice hung over the Ten Desolate Starforges, but in many corners of those worlds, large numbers of flameyellow descendants etched that purple figure deeply into their memory. For most, it was their first glimpse of Tianming; they didn’t even know what to call him.
But in their hearts, the image of his figure crushing the Eightpart Pantheons would never be lost.

Dugu Yao’s death happened in just an instant, turning the three-vs-seven into a three-vs-six. Neither side could guarantee their victory in the battle, not even Tianming. When he killed Dugu Yao, several attacks had already struck his back. Fortunately, Ying Huo and the others helped block them.
Thankfully, Dugu Yao’s death had sent the souleater starbeasts into a frenzy and they began indiscriminately attacking, which relieved the immediate crisis for Tianming's trio as none of the three were particularly afraid of soul attacks. But aside from the wonderian sisters, most of their enemies were vulnerable to such attacks.
