Beastmaster of the Ages

The result of the test was as expected; Lin Xiaodao ended up showing the white flag through Yin Chen.

”Open the gates and welcome our guest.” Wudi immediately halted the flameyellow fiends’ attack and created a passage within the Flameyellow Guard Formation, welcoming Lin Xiaodao’s arrival. Beside Lin Xiaodao were Lin Zhongtian, Lin Zhonghai, and others, all of them good friends from Gladeus.

”Godfather, be careful of my master’s Dragon Piss wine,” Tianming meaningfully said before the meeting.

”What?” Wudi dismissed it with a wave of his hand. ”With my level, is there any wine in this world that I can’t handle?”

The Reaper descended from the sky and embedded itself in the land next to the Sky Palace Formation. Lin Xiaodao arrived with two old men, Lin Zhongtian and Lin Zhonghai. Under the warm welcome of Tianming and Wudi, they entered the formation.

”Welcome, welcome, a hearty welcome.”

”You’re too polite, extremely polite.”

The two middle-aged, greasy-looking men exchanged glances as soon as they met and engaged in the same pleasantries. As Tianming had expected, when they collided, it was like thunder and fire meeting. It would be surprising if there were no conflicts!

Lin Xiaodao was very embarrassed when the green gourd behind him suddenly flew out of his control and pressed itself directly to Wudi’s Flameyellow Coffin. The little beauty on the green gourd, as if seeing an acquaintance, affectionately leaned against the Flameyellow Coffin and rubbed against it. Unfortunately, the Flameyellow Coffin remained motionless.

”What the hell!” Lin Xiaodao’s face turned green and he quickly retracted the green gourd. The scene completely indicated that the green gourd and the Flameyellow Coffin had met before!

”Brother Li, sorry for the embarrassing scene,” Lin Xiaodao said.

”Brother Lin, no problem at all,” Wudi replied.

Tianming looked at them chatting and was speechless. ”I say, you two should stop embarrassing yourselves and get to the point.”

”What’s the matter? Is it more important than getting to know Brother Li(Lin)?”

The most intolerable thing for Tianming was that the two of them actually spoke the exact same words. It was simply giving him goosebumps. He couldn’t bear it any longer and said, ”We must quickly deal with the problem of the Star Hunters!”

Tianming hadn’t forgotten about the world they had massacred. Although Tianming had acquired all the unowned nova sources, if the Star Hunters still wanted them, they would have to destroy the sun, resulting in the deaths of trillions of people! That meant that if the Star Hunters were unwilling to give up, the conflict would be irreconcilable. And how could the Star Hunters give up easily after coming all the way there? If they continued massacring the ordinary heliacal-class worlds’ people, Tianming and the rest would feel uncomfortable.

“Therefore, we must quickly and decisively eliminate the problem! The other side has no bottom line. While we might not have had a chance before, I think we can try it now.” Tianming’s expression grew serious.

”Of course we can’t let such hateful and unscrupulous opponents live.” Wudi returned to his rhythm, narrowing his eyes. He was definitely ruthless.

Lin Xiaodao thought for a moment and looked around. ”This brand new world is in its infancy and all of its life is protected within the Sky Palace Formation. So it’s indeed a natural battlefield.”

”After the baptism of war, it’s best to seize all of the Star Hunters’ wealth. That way, the growth of our world will only accelerate,” Tianming coldly said. The Star Hunters were a group of interstellar thieves! They wouldn’t stay in any nova source world, so their wealth was within their ships. Caeli, legacies, ores, plants, artifacts, and more.

Tianming and Lin Xiaodao had long predicted that the upgrade of the sun’s level might bring them new capital. And the new capital it had brought was much more terrifying than they had imagined! It would be a terrible waste if they didn’t use it.

”The opponents have always been observing the Myriadstar Zone with their ships. In these past few days, all the unowned nova sources have been devoured and a pink sanctuary-class world was born. Such a clear change can be seen from a distance.” Lin Xiaodao narrowed his eyes.

”Obviously, they could guess that, to prevent them from stealing, we used a fallen sanctuary-class nova source world to devour all the unowned nova sources....”

”Considering they have seven ether-class ships, a sanctuary-class world is risky for them but there’s a high chance they can conquer it. Those thieves are accustomed to taking risks, so as long as they think the conditions are right, they’ll definitely attack,” Tianming said.

”The problem is that my Gladean Ruins is right next to the sun. They can clearly see it. How can we make them believe that their conditions are ripe?” Lin Xiaodao pondered this issue.

”Very simple!”

Wudi grinned. ”Although they fear the Gladean Ruins, the ebons from the Ebonia don’t. From the Star Hunters’ point of view, if the Sun stays in the Myriadstar Zone for a long time, it’ll just be a burden to the Gladeus once the ebons attack. Therefore, it’s reasonable for us to quickly leave after absorbing all the unowned nova sources. It’s logical that we’re ’fleeing’, and that’s when the Star Hunters will give chase!”

A logical course of action was very important.

“In other words, if we leave now, they won’t suspect that we’re waiting for them to catch up?” Tianming said.

”Makes sense. I can use the Gladean Ruins to escort you away for a while. But due to the presence of the ebons, the Gladean Ruins must return to Gladeus. Once I leave, it’ll likely be time for them to attack.” Lin Xiaodao’s eyes lit up.

”Right! The one thing the other side can’t anticipate is the destructive power and entanglement capability of the flameyellow fiends. Your Gladean Ruins doesn’t need to go too far. Once the enemy attacks, we’re confident that we can entangle all of them until you return!” Li Wudi said.

”Moreover, even without the Gladean Ruins, the flameyellow fiends can still inflict devastating losses on them!” Tianming gritted his teeth.

”What we want isn’t a devastating blow, but a complete wipeout!” Lin Xiaodao said.

At that point, their plan had taken shape. On what basis did they believe that the Star Hunters would definitely track the sun’s departure? It was because they understood the insatiable fellows! If the Star Hunters didn’t pursue, the unowned nova sources they had yearned for for years would be completely lost!

The farther the Sun and Gladeus were from each other, the more difficult it would be for the Gladean Ruins to intercept them, and the more opportunities the Star Hunters would have.

To outsiders, as long as the ebons remained, it was indeed impossible for the sun to stay in the Myriadstar Zone. No sanctuary-class world had ever had astralguard formations with ether-class power.

”So, after the Sun swallows the unowned nova sources, logically speaking, we should leave at the fastest speed. That would be considered ’fleeing,’ and only then will the other side give chase!” Lin Xiaodao said.

”In that case, let’s set off now!” Wudi decided.

”Very well, only activate half of the cloaking formation. The effect will be better and the other side will be more convinced that we’re fleeing. As they approach, Yin Chen can provide us with the precise positions of most of the Star Hunters’ ships,” Tianming said. If they fully activated the Sun’s formations, the other side wouldn’t be able to keep up.

The three of them exchanged glances.

”Let’s annihilate them!”
