Beastmaster of the Ages

The moment the enemy lifebound beasts came charging in, Yin Chen’s first wave of attacks shattered their abilities before piercing into their bodies. Its individual bodies didn’t fear death at all! The enemy’s lifebound beasts were made of countless astrons as well, each filled with cosmoforce, making them incredibly powerful. Yet faced with countless tiny stars that didn’t fear death, even they had to suffer quite a beating.

Large numbers of galactic swordbugs were wiped out by the suicidal strike. While others thought it was a considerable loss for Tianming, he didn’t even so much as react to it. There was no fear of Yin Chen running out of bodies on Gladeus. Thanks to it paving a way, Tianming and his other beasts had a much easier time. Yin Chen could now take the place of billions of swords, becoming even more ridiculous than Tianming’s Myriadsword Providence. The invisible swords were incredibly threatening! While Tianming and the other beasts had a rather hard time countering the galactic mist order, Yin Chen’s shotgun-style attacks blindly pushed back against the enemies and poked many holes in the misty veils.

”It’s our chance!” Tianming immediately used the prime wonder when he saw an opening. After having absorbed his cosmoforce, the Prime Cosmic Rings exploded with power and shot toward the galactic eel and the foreign rockbeast. As for the other beasts, he would leave them to Ying Huo, Meow Meow, Lan Huang, and Xian Xian. With the impressive star counts of his beasts, as well as the fact that they had been boosted by Ji Ji, they could quickly close the gap as soon as they were given the chance. ”If we’re going to strike back, we have to make sure to overwhelm them!”

The Primordial Chaos Beasts had many hidden abilities, with Yin Chen being the best representation of that. Meow Meow’s abilities also made it crucial to group fights. It turned into the Regal Chaosfiend and summoned lightning all over the place, flapping its wings in the sky. As it roared, all three hundred thousand stars in its eyes shuddered. A sauvastika-shaped formation (卍) formed in the sky, out of which countless monochrome sword-shaped lightning bolts emerged. Then they exploded, triggering a heavy rainfall of lightning, battering at Lin Yixuan and his beasts without discrimination! [1]

The storm made for quite an awe-inspiring sight. Once Tianming and his gang took the initiative, the seventh-astral death-type lifebound beasts were unable to take advantage of their heaven-unity resonance. And Tianming, who was unaffected by Lin Yixuan’s order, had the easiest time out of them all. His lifebound beasts and prime wonder kept the enemies at bay as they were battered by the galactic swordbugs and the Sauvastika Sword Formation!

Lin Yixuan and his beasts were unable to interrupt Tianming at all, though the gladean had a lot of energy and didn’t fear the suicide attacks of the bugs. As he retreated, he killed tens of millions of Yin Chens with his Nether Binding Sword technique, completely vaporizing them.

”Heh!” Tianming appeared right in front of him as he was being pushed back. ”If you fight me one-on-one, you might just stand a chance!”

”Thanks for the tip, then!” Lin Yixuan knew that he wouldn’t be given the opportunity to fuse his swordbeasts with his sword, thanks to Tianming’s overwhelming push. He would be outnumbered and completely helpless. Thus, he growled, glaring at Tianming, as his sword turned into a mirage and went in for the kill. He had diverted all of his order suppression on Tianming alone and was unable to understand how Tianming was able to completely ignore it. With a six-level gap, his single stream of order should be able to completely overwhelm Tianming’s six! The fact that Tianming had so many streams of order already made him disgusted.

Enraged, his sword stance rapidly shifted, as if he was a storm of death. With a single thrust, nine twisters tore everything ahead of him apart as they shot toward Tianming. His Life Ember Impulse swirled around him as his sword thrust toward Tianming, burning bright with blazing flames. The galactic swordbugs around him were eviscerated in an instant.

”Wow.” Tianming was being suppressed by Lin Yixuan’s cosmoforce and the death nova source around him. He really was no match in terms of raw power. ”Too bad for you, I have many tricks!” He faced the storm of death with calm, feeling his body fill with energy. Perhaps due to the Order Relic, he felt that the energy within his astrons didn’t decrease at all, but even seemed enhanced; he was in better form than usual. With that endless stream of energy, he could use his prime wonder with even more abandon!”

”Come back!” He had sent eight Prime Cosmic Rings to deal with two of those lifebound beasts, while the last one was hovering above Lin Yixuan’s head. It came crashing down with as much force as Tianming could muster, breaking the strike Lin Yixuan had just been about to execute. Without another word, Tianming split his sword in two and attacked with two cosmic impulses. He was already all too familiar with the spacetime sword arts of both reges mundi. With the black sword, he made an opening! As the Prime Cosmic Ring shattered, his left arm, wielding the black sword, struck, covering a distance of ten thousand meters in an instant using Delayed Capture.

The Life Ember Impulse flooded into his body, damaging it, but his Flint Infernal and Vapor Lightning Impulses did the same to Lin Yixuan! Tianming’s Order Relic enhanced body absorbed the brunt of the Life Ember Impulse, minimizing the damage done to him, and he clearly felt his cosmoforce grow much more powerful within a short time in a manner that he couldn’t control. If the growth continued indefinitely, the energy within him could collapse, but if it all happened in an instant, he would be able to purge and vent it so he used Unistrike Singularity!

”Now, back off!” Tianming roared as he thrust with his gold sword, using his cosmoforce to move and shape space itself, freezing it and holding it in place.

The strike was so fast that Lin Yixuan, kept busy as he resisted the two cosmic impulses and six streams of order, noticed it far too late. ”You!” Suppressing his injuries, he raised his sword to meet the strike, but he didn’t have nearly enough force to deflect it. Tianming, on the other hand, had fueled his strike with the energy of his enemy’s cosmic impulse!

The sword shattered space itself, sending Lin Yixuan’s sword flying. The man himself shot backward, the force of the golden sword strike causing his chest to collapse. That kind of injury would take a few days to recover! As a result, his combat capabilities had greatly decreased, which was a sure sign that there would be no way for him to win anymore. His loss was only a matter of time.

Everyone watched as Lin Yixuan fell straight into the lake, causing big waves to form, completely silent and unmoving. Even the astral gods were completely agape. He slowly crawled back up, picking up his sword and giving Tianming a deep look. ”There’s no need to continue—I wholeheartedly admit my loss! You defeated me despite a six-level gap. Being able to take part in your miraculous performance is my honor!”

”That’s really nice of you, Brother!” Tianming stopped attacking and saluted him.

”Brother? Foolish child, Lin Xiaodao’s my elder cousin. You should call me Uncle,” Lin Yixuan said with a smile. The fact that he could still pull seniority on Tianming despite his loss felt rather pleasant. But unlike his carefree appearance, he was actually completely horrified. He was definitely considered quite powerful among his peers. Even now, Lin Zhongtian, Lin Zhonghai, and the rest of the audience were still deathly silent.
