Beastmaster of the Ages

Their special characteristics had led to a never-ending debate about whether the Yishker Clan were heptabeastmasters. However, Tianming didn’t give a shit about the debate. He only needed to know that he had to take note of the two snakes on his opponent. They didn’t have melee capability, but their close-ranged abilities were dangerous.

Tianming gave his disciple card a look. “Yishker Bushghan! What a long name.”

Yishker was his surname. Ebonia’s history was just too long, which was why ancient clans and races like them existed. The Greenhill Yushan Clan and Yishker Clan were two such examples. But even the Grandnorth Dongshen Clan was very old. Supposedly, the Grandnorth Dongshen Clan and Greenhill Yushan Clan had a decent relationship, but the two ahead of them didn’t care about that.

Just like the Yushan Clan, the Yishker Clan was tied very deeply to Yi Daiyan. The two had formed a tripartite alliance with the luxdaemons and would aid each other in resisting the ebons. Tianming was also aware that the Greenyish Emporium formed by the Greenhill Yushan Clan and Yishker Clan had swallowed up much of the Myriadsword Emporium’s business and territories within a short fifty years.

The Greenyish Emporium was now the number one emporium of the Infinitum Bodhimanda. Thus, the Greenhill Yushan Clan and Yishker Clan were enemies of the Lin Clan’s reformists. It was one of the reasons they were leaning toward the ebons.

The use of the clans’ and races’ histories was only to help Tianming identify who were his enemies and who were his friends.

“These two Infinitum Regal Clans won’t be polite to me.” Tianming knew that he had to take down Yishker Bushghan before more arrived. “I bet that now that I’ve met Yishker Bushghan, the Lin Clan will devolve into quarreling over me again. If so, I can’t let those on my side be laughed at!”

Tianming himself was raring to go with such a fierce opponent in front of him. He squinted at the snakes on Yishker Bushghan’s ears, seeing five colorful rings on each of them. “The Yishker Clan has a very visible marker of their talent level. The number of snakerings on the snakes denotes their talent. He has the highest level of talent, ten snakerings! As expected of the number one of the Yishker Clan’s disciples under a hundred.” Ten snakerings was publicly regarded to be better than the Lin Clan’s six-six talent. Yushan Tiantian was similarly number one of her clan.

Tianming led his beasts forward, mindful of the ticking clock. Now that the gravity was gone, Yin Chen could be used again. A silver sea fell down like a meteor while Ying Huo, Meow Meow, Lan Huang, and Xian Xian followed Tianming.

Apart from the two snakes on his body, Yishker Bushghan had five massive snake-like lifebound beasts. They all had over sixty thousand stars, showing how deep his background was. “No wonder he’s above Guchi Xiaoyin!”

The five snake-like lifebound beasts, maniclaw starstone ba-serpents, seemed to have been carved out of rock and were as tough as cosmic artifacts. They had thick, bulky bodies and tens of thousands of dragon-like claws grew out of them.

“Are those snakes or centipedes?” Whatever they were, the five lifebound beasts clearly had mighty power in melee. It was definitely visually intimidating to see the five ba-serpents, Yishker Bushghan’s specter-like body, and those tiny, insidious snakes.

Yishker Bushghan’s starstone order was also critical. It had the effect of petrification. When it turned into an order field that covered the area, Tianming felt his albi hardening, which was a very unpleasant experience. His body began to harden and sink, while accompanied by a healthy dose of pain. He had mistaken it for gravity just now.

Ying Huo and the rest were also trapped within the order field. However, all five used their innate orders, which helped Tianming take the brunt of the pressure. At the same time, a stronger order could also suppress the enemy.

The opponents’ starstone order crashed down on them wave after wave.

“I need to crush the enemy beastmaster!” Tianming knew that he only had one massive advantage remaining, which was that his lifebound beasts complemented each other!

Yin Chen and Lan Huang used their orders to open a path when the five maniclaw starstone ba-serpents collided with the two. Stone and flesh flew everywhere. Behind the two, Ying Huo, Meow Meow, and Xian Xian’s dryad form rained down abilities of different types.

While the ba-serpents specialized in melee, their ability, Starstone Starsea, was also quite strong. Sharp stone spikes shot from their bodies, shining as they turned into an advancing sea of stars. However, Meow Meow and the rest were still better in terms of abilities. The fivefold starstone starsea was swallowed up by lightning, fire, Bloodrain Swords, Demise Greenloti, and so on!

The Primordial Chaos Beasts’ abilities had always been their advantage. When Xian Xian’s Ghoulface Fiendblossoms flew out and attached themselves to the ba-serpents, their effect was obvious. Melee lifebound beasts like them would always find their bodies weakening.

As for Yin Chen, it threw its bodies onto the serpents. Although they had hard bodies, Yin Chen ate ore for breakfast. The locusts swarmed around, taking bites here and there.

Tianming’s lifebound beasts were like five mountains that crushed their way forward, forcing the ba-serpents to beat a sorry retreat. Even if one managed to escape the bombardment, its only choice was to clash with Lan Huang. The ba-serpent’s countless sharp claws dug into the dragon’s flesh, but Lan Huang’s response was to use the Primordial Sword to turn itself into a hedgehog, lacerating the ba-serpent all over and making it shriek in pain. Cosmic gods wouldn’t die from that, but Lan Huang would kill it sooner or later at this rate.

Meanwhile, the ba-serpent couldn’t understand how an astral god like it could lose in order to a god.
