Beastmaster of the Ages

With the larger battle taking place outside bleeding both sides, Lin Yun and the rest wanted to end things as quickly as possible as well. His arm shuddered as he drew a twisting green sword that made him look like he was holding a snake. ”Slay them all!”

”Destroy that astralship first!” Lin Ziqing wielded a thin purple sword, surging with a purple aura that covered her form. Both of them had their swordbeasts fused with their cosmic artifact swords for the greatest possible power they could muster to make an opening in the hull of the Fishguts. There was no need to destroy the entire thing at all. Back when Tianming had breached the divine astralship of Skywolf and killed the wife of Sovereign Starvore, a simple hole was all he’d needed. The most powerful of cosmic cartographers, especially those that excelled in attacking, were more than capable of breaching the hulls of deific-class ships.

Lashes of green and purple struck the ship with utmost ferocity, echoing the cries of beasts. Despite Tianming’s skepticism, the top-class beasts from the third and seventh branches were usually just normal beasts like azure dragons and violet phoenixes, though those sacred beasts boasted hundreds of thousands of stars when they became advanced cosmic lifeforms. The power of Lin Ziqing and Lin Yun was further enhanced by their cosmic atlases and artifacts; their strikes were more than capable of wiping Tianming out.

Fortunately, Moran had been fully prepared. To ensure that she could endure the largest amount of energy possible, she had called out her elder sisters, who usually remained fused with her. Fifty identical beauties with flowing ink-green hair huddled together, hand-in-hand as they faced the disaster. While their souls were incomplete, they were filled with the dedication to defend Tianming to the death. Once they were fixed upon a shared goal, they could no longer be moved by fear. While others might think them mental invalids, few could claim to give their all in a fight to the death, as they were about to.

”Ji Ji, try to be gentle if you can,” Tianming nervously said. Behind them, the nova source that powered the divine astralship formation turned completely pink as it surged with genesis ancestral nova source

”Don’t worry. As long as it isn’t you, I’ll be gentle!” Ji Ji was still miffed at Tianming for not fulfilling his promise to give it a pleasure ball. It made sure to channel all the frustration on Lin Yun and Lin Ziqing.

The pink nova source formed fifty appendages that wrapped around the bodies of all fifty ’Morans’, whose bodies had all inherited the two ether-class divine wonders. Tianming could feel every single albus in their bodies glow with power. Then, the cry of the evernight whale echoed deeply throughout their bodies. The evernight whale wonders formed outside the ship, instantly filling the entire formation with blue seawater. If it weren’t for the completely sealed formation, even more water would form and cover an area tens of times the size. The manifestation of this particular divine wonder had turned into an actual ocean before, after all.

The divine wonderians’ innate abilities were just that overpowering. While the area the sea covered this time wasn’t that large, it was far more compressed and heavy, lending it even more force. At the same time, tens of millions of green whales appeared and cried so loud that it could be heard far outside the formation. The firmament ocean wonder and evernight whale wonder, both of them ether-class divine wonders, were far more powerful than the Wonderhaze Suzerain’s! While Moran didn’t have the energy to utilize them herself, she could do so with Ji Ji pumping nova source straight into her, treating her body like a formation to channel energy to the divine wonders.

Tianming could hear grunts of pain and discomfort from them. Their albi were shuddering as they were being drained by the divine wonders like human batteries. He wasn’t sure how long they could last against the assault of two cosmic cartographers. ”Are you doing fine?”

”I am, don’t worry,” Moran said from the very front as she turned back with effort to smile at him. As far as she was concerned, her current predicament was far better than her long journey of pain back at the sun. Physical pain was nothing, compared to the mental anguish by which she would forever be scarred. She grit her teeth and focused all her attention on optimizing the efficiency of the divine wonders.

”Divine wonders?” Lin Yun and Lin Ziqing had thought that breaking the Fishguts would be easy, only for them to suddenly be surrounded! The divine wonders didn’t just interfere in the fight, but also considerably weakened their attacks. Every drop of the chaotic seawater felt as immovable as a boulder. Not to mention, the green whales that constantly got in their way were quite troublesome indeed. Slowly, they were forced back by the countless whales that seemed to keep coming no matter how many they killed.

”There’s a divine wonderian elite in there!” Lin Ziqing cried.

”Impossible... No divine wonderian would possibly help them,” Lin Yun said.

”Wait, isn’t this divine wonder Etherean Zhaohua’s? You know, the one who tried to assassinate Lin Lao’er!” Lin Ziqing’s eyes widened with realization.

”Etherean Zhaohua’s already dead!” They weren’t able to look within the formation at all.

”I know! It must be Weisheng Moran! She’s the only one in the council hall that has divine wonders! Maybe she stole Etherean Zhaohua’s? But that’s impossible!” Lin Ziqing said in a harrowed voice.

”Damn if I care. Her divine wonder’s energy seems unstable. I recall that she’s only a solarian child with bad talent! No matter what kind of tricks she has, all we have to do is subdue her! Maybe we can even make a decent trade with the divine wonderians!” Lin Yun excitedly said.

”Yeah, they’ll no doubt be interested in someone like that.” Lin Ziqing’s eyes glowed with interest.

”It’s no wonder those two protected them so hard. These children are all ridiculous aberrations. If this attack fails, there’ll be nowhere we or our descendants can stand proud in the entire Infinitum Mundus!” Lin Yun’s face turned even grimmer.

The two of them paved a way through the ocean and faced the onslaught of countless green whales. After the initial setback, they discovered the weakness in the divine wonders and intensified their assault.
