multitudinous

Too many counting

Multitudinous means very numerous or consisting of a great many elements: the multitudinous stars, multitudinous demands on her time.

The word is literary and formal, suggesting not just large quantity but overwhelming abundance.

It appears famously in Macbeth, where bloody hands would turn the multitudinous seas incarnadine.
