Beastmaster of the Ages

“The Lin Clan astralships are just too fast! They’re ganging up on our ships two-on-one as well!”

“Over eighty percent of our ships are being targeted!”

“Currently, of those being targeted, a third can’t escape. The rest are still running, but they’re closing in on us.…”

“The Fiendclaw is so large it shattered a few heliacal-class astralships!”

Message after message poured in.

“Five thousand astralships have been broken, including three deific-class!”

“The Inkwell Sea has been taken over. They’re going to make it their own base!”

“Dammit, dammit!”

The guardian formation, astralships, and underground wildbeasts; none were spared.

Lin Xiaodao had tried holding back on the killing, as he didn’t want to go too far and become a common target for the Infinitum Bodhimanda.

“They’re killing all the wildbeasts and warbeasts! Do they think we’ll be of no threat after that?”

“A mere Lin Clan dares to look down on us?”

The shame burned even the Kunmo brothers. By now, they were sure that only the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb was chasing them. Beneath them was the Boundless Ocean, which took up an eighth of Gladeus’ surface. It was so deep it reached the fusion formation. Countless marine wildbeasts lived within, making it a forbidden zone on Gladeus. Only the ebons dared venture forth to capture warbeasts.

The three brothers were raring to go, as they knew that capturing Tianming would give their ebons a chance to turn the situation around.

“Forget it! There’s no chance!” Kunmo Cang chose to give up when he remembered the skywell seafiend’s death.

The Rabblefiend entered the ocean, using its sleek shape to take to it like a fish in water. They thought they had escaped, but the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb unexpectedly entered the ocean as well, even accelerating!

It was all thanks to the firmament ocean wonder that coated the tomb, giving it the shape of a whale that was ten times larger than the Rabblefiend. The wonder split the ocean, sending it churning as the whale hunted a shark.

Originally, the Boundless Ocean had been gray, but it was pink now. There were also quite a few Yin Chens in the form of jellyfish within.

“Faster, faster!” Kunmo Chao shouted.

However, when they turned around, they saw a giant whale opening its vast mouth to swallow the shark!

The Rabblefiend seemed mired in quicksand and its speed lowered as the wonder’s power clamped down on the war machine. That let Tianming understand that the cooperation of divine wonderians and astralships was a terrifying concept. It was much stronger than the ebons, a race with extreme strengths and equally extreme weaknesses.

“Kill our way out!” Kunmo Yong drew on the Rabblefiend’s nova source, trying to gather enough power to blow its way out.

A wonder wouldn’t be enough to stop them on its own. Thus, Tianming got the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb to pounce forward and slam into the black shark. The Dragonrage Cannon it had been preparing for a while struck the shark’s back and a flash lit up the ocean as a flaming vortex over a thousand meters large formed underwater. Just the number of wildbeasts that perished in that attack was over a billion!

Naturally, the ebons inside the Rabblefiend didn’t enjoy it, either.

The ebons’ expressions changed as clanging sounds rang out. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb’s dragon heads and claws ripped and tore at the black shark while its tail-sword rose, shining as it prepared to fall.

“Fight back!”

The shark gathered up nova source as it tried throwing off the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. However, Kunmo Yong found out that the tomb had a death grip on it, while the wonder still restricted its movements.

The Rabblefiend spat out a black pillar of light, but the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb nimbly avoided it.

“A mid-sanctuary-class astralship wants to fight with me? Ji Ji!” The dragon’s tail-sword swung down on the Rabblefiend’s stomach, causing the underwater world to explode once more.

The black shark was made of the fusion of sanctuary ores, but it was directly sliced through by the Ji Ji-empowered Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. It dug at least several thousand meters in, but the Rabblefiend was lucky; if its internal nova source had been hit, it would have exploded from the inside.

Explosions still rocked the inside, though, the damage so grievous the shark would have long been wailing in pain if it was a living creature. It struggled, but the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb had too many holds on it.

They looked like two giant beasts fighting.

Sanctuary-class astralships couldn’t fight infinitum-class wildbeasts, as they weren’t agile enough. But that didn’t mean their firepower wasn’t enough. Moran’s wonder actually shored up the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb’s lack of control over its opponent, allowing it to land hits better. The battle was also taking place within the sea, and Ji Ji had boosted the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb’s strength to above the Rabblefiend’s, so Tianming was bound to win this battle.
