Beastmaster of the Ages

The dreamless celestial emperor believed that he could fight the sun emperor and still manage to make a run for it with his forty-nine perfect divine wonder vessels, as well as his own divine wonder, which he hadn’t used in public before. In fact, he could probably fight normal sovereigns on their level.

Yet Li Tianming had completely crushed his confidence when his totems shattered his divine wonder. Even now, he couldn’t understand how that was possible! No matter how hard he had tried to overestimate Tianming’s abilities, there was no way Tianming could face off against normal sovereigns. The sheer power his totems contained didn’t even make sense!

Tianming’s Omnisentient Threads made him a complete enigma to those that didn’t know about them. Even the Saintdragon Emperor and the rest had no idea, let alone the dreamless celestial emperor, who immediately turned tail and ran. His forty-nine divine wonders and his main dreamless galactic wonder continued getting into formation as they closed in on Tianming, attempting to stop him from giving chase. The dreamless celestial emperor’s eyes widened as his heart beat faster and faster. How could a youth in his twenties be so powerful? The more he thought about it, the faster his heart beat.

”Father, maybe you can use her!” Weisheng Yinxi cried out from the battleship. He turned to look and saw that Weisheng Yinxi was holding Weisheng Moran in a tight grip.

”That’s right!” Weisheng Moran was the original vessel for the carefree wonder, but she gave it away. The dreamless celestial emperor had brought her there for this very situation. He held back Tianming with his divine wonder and returned to the battleship. Then he held the blood-grudge-ravaged Weisheng Moran tightly, holding her life in his hands.

”Little fish, I gave you life and raised you for so long. It’s about time you repaid me.” The dreamless celestial emperor calmed himself as he took a deep breath.

”You expect too much from me. I’m nowhere capable enough to stop him from killing you. If I die here together with you, that’d be the ideal outcome for me. You’ve committed so many sins, so you have to pay the price. It’s time for you to pay back your debt!” Weisheng Moran said with a hoarse voice, but her bloodied eyes glared at him with schadenfreude.

Thinking of the woman locked up in that dark cavern, she felt a hint of joy and added, ”Bad things happen to bad people. Karma’s come knocking on your door, so accept your judgment. Struggle all you want, it’ll only make you look more pathetic.” The Azurespirit had immediately developed a good impression of Tianming the moment they had met. It was a sign that the carefree wonder was a good fit for him. Little did they know that he would one day become the figure that would liberate her from her nightmare.

”Nonsense! He’s your father too!” Weisheng Yinxi snapped.

”Haha... hahaha...” Weisheng Moran laughed nonstop despite being choked. ”Kill me! Kill me!” Death would only be a release for her. Her entire life had been a nightmare. But if she could witness the source of all her ills suffer the consequences, it would be the perfect ending.

Tianming burst out of the encirclement just as the pressure from the Aeonic Infinidragon Formation came blasting down, forming a small area of imprisonment that trapped the battleship Dreamless right where it was.

”Come back!” The dreamless celestial emperor’s face turned cold as he had the divine wonder vessels come back to his side to face off against Tianming once more. He had placed all his remaining hope into Weisheng Moran.

”Li Tianming!” He looked at the sword-wielding youth surrounded by five lifebound beasts and tens of thousands of totem swords, feeling his heart thump again. ”She helped you before and begged you to help her. She’s only suffered all her life. She isn’t even human. The one who brought her into this world is someone she hated and feared. I’m sure you know all that, right?”

Tianming kept approaching step by step and many cultivators followed behind him. The sheer pressure they emanated was pushing the dreamless celestial emperor to despair.

”Yeah, I know. So what?” Tianming’s cold eyes glared at the shameless fellow who could even kill his wife for the sake of glory. He had created far too many tragedies. Even now, he was underhanded.

”She’s lived a pitiful life, so don’t cause her even more suffering. I know she likes you... loves you even. Would you spare her life? Let her go free?” The dreamless celestial emperor smirked. He knew that Tianming wasn’t a heartless person. The implication was that if Tianming didn’t let him go, Weisheng Moran wouldn’t survive either! ”Please be so kind as to spare her, tsk, tsk.” He held her by the neck, backing off with every step Tianming took toward him.

Tianming didn’t respond and merely glared at him.fƖ. c𝐨𝙢

”Kill him! I will thank you in the next life, and the one after! I promise!” Weisheng Moran pleaded, expectantly looking at Tianming.

The dreamless celestial emperor didn’t stop her from speaking. He knew that the more she spoke, the more Tianming would feel for her. ”Next life? Are you sure you’ll even have one? You aren’t even human. How pitiful. Open the formation and let me out. That’s your only choice. Don’t test my patience.” He was smiling nonstop and fully convinced that he had Tianming in a bind.

The onlookers immediately cursed the dreamless celestial emperor, who didn’t wait for Tianming’s response. Turning to the forty-nine divine wonder vessels, he ordered, ”Children, open a path for me and kill anyone that tries to stop me!”

He wouldn’t have to fear for his life as long as he had Weisheng Moran in hand. However, he was stunned, as the divine wonder vessels didn’t move and ignored his order. ”Do you hear me? Open a path! Fight!”

He angrily glared at them, but what he saw tore his heart apart. The girls that looked identical to Weisheng Moran had never shed tears, but now, they were crying at the sight of the girl in his hand. Their expressions were still blank, a sign of their incomplete souls, yet they were clearly crying. Not even being born as defects had robbed them of their emotions. They empathized with her, and their tears were like connections between human souls. All of them had lived sad lives, just like Weisheng Moran... just like idiots.

”I said, fight!” The dreamless celestial emperor finally felt fear welling up within. He had been telling himself that all fifty of them, Weisheng Moran included, were animals, not his daughters, yet they could actually cry! Not only that, it seemed that they were also capable of hate, but this time around, they didn’t hate others. Instead, they had turned it on the dreamless celestial emperor. Their boundless hatred drove them to surround him, using their divine wonders on him.

”Face your karma,” Weisheng Moran said, smiling as she teared up.
