Beastmaster of the Ages

“Huh?” Kunmo Yong was in disbelief in the turbulent sea; Tianming could track him down even though he was like a speck of dust in the ocean. Without hesitation, he dove deeper, but it was already too late. The firmament ocean wonder pressed on him from all directions while the evernight whales turned into a school of whales that joined in.

The fifty ladies within the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb grit their teeth as they put forth all of their efforts. “Have to help him…”

Tianming personally watched the two wonders compress themselves. Within, Kunmo Yong struggled and tried using his cosmoforce and order to resist, but to no avail. “My ebon race will wipe out your bloodline! There won’t be a Swordgod Lin Clan in this world!”

Kunmo Yong’s lifeforce waned until he was finally crushed into pieces by Moran. Kunmo Yong had perished.

Moran was already at her limit. Her last act was to use the wonder to bring Kunmo Yong’s items over. Then, Ji Ji drew out the nova source from their bodies, making the whale patterns on their bodies recede.

Tianming saw the fifty identical women give him a certain look. Then, they collapsed as one. He was stunned by the sudden development, and wasn’t sure who to help up for a moment. Feiling was more thoughtful and moved quicker. Her wings spread out, catching all fifty sisters, letting them get their rest to recover their bodies and energy in the soft feathers.

“Good job, have a good rest,” Tianming hurriedly said. He felt a surge of emotion. It had merely been a quirk of fate that he’d saved them on the sun, but today, they were helping him so much. Moran hadn’t only helped him with this assault, but the Black Panther Army and the Lin Clan as well.

“Yes….” Moran nodded before closing her eyes and falling asleep. Even so, it was with a smile.

“Kunmo Chao and Kunmo Cang are still out there. Yin Chen found them, but we won’t be able to kill them without Little Fish.” If they just relied on the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, they would be lucky if the two brothers didn’t break in. But Tianming had already taken his prize. “Bah, they aren’t worth much without their warbeasts. Let’s go!”

Feiling and Xiaoxiao took care of Moran as Tianming maneuvered the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb out of the ocean and into the sky, quickly returning to the Inkwell Sea. But before that, he took part of the Rabblefiend’s wreckage. He managed to get their legacy caeli, various cosmic artifacts, ores, herbs, and so on. They had been protected by several layers of formations, which had let them survive the explosion. He had thus obtained quite a bit of the Kunmo clan’s fortune; it was definitely much more than the two and a half million merit points he had won for the first place on the minor reges mundi ranking!

Alas, the Rabblefiend was unrecoverable, otherwise a sanctuary-class astralship would have been priceless. It wasn’t something merit points or phantasilver could buy.

……

The news spread like wildfire across Gladeus. Tianming had used the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb to slay many an ether-class wildbeast, destroyed the Rabblefiend, and killed Kunmo Yong! Although it was thanks to the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and Moran’s wonders, it made him seem even more mysterious. Everyone was talking about either his astralship, or the ether-class wondermancer with him! It was spreading that the latter was his concubine and was only in her thirties, but she was already equal in power to the council hall members.

The news left many people flabbergasted, but Tianming didn’t know as he was currently going through Kunmo Yong’s spatial ring.

“Li Tianming! The Archaionfiend’s fake eyes were bloodshot as it crossed its thick arms with an anxious look. It was worried that Tianming would go back on his word and take the eye for himself. When Tianming took out the Archaionfiend Eye, its heart rate accelerated. “Let me tell you a possibility!”

“What’s that?” Tianming chuckled.

“Hand me the eye and I will have a fundamental change! It’ll make Xiaoxiao stronger and I’ll be able to help you like that wondermancer! I might also be able to help you remove those seven sigils on your caelum!” the Archaionfiend said.

“Sigils?” Tianming froze.

“Right! If I can do that, you can go and fight for that strongest wonder without worry.”

“How would you do that?”

“I’m an Archaionfiend! I understand caeli much better than you!” The Archaionfiend breathed in deeply, then bowed to Tianming. “You must, must give it to me!”

Tianming smiled. “Why so worried? I already made a promise. You’re also one of my crew now, so don’t treat me so formally.”

“Truly?” The Archaionfiend was overjoyed.

“Are you that touched?”

The Archaionfiend was almost crying.

“I Wu You, will serve you with all my heart from today onward!” it gravely said.

“Alright, I accept.” An all-encompassing evil aura spread out as Tianming took something from the spatial ring. He looked incredibly ferocious when bathed in it. “Then get ready. This is definitely beyond your expectations….”
