Beastmaster of the Ages

The brilliant fireworks continued to expand and sweep out until it covered the entire sun, the deafening roars drowning out the sounds of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood falling. Even inside the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, Tianming’s ears were buzzing.

The fire of the Flameyellow Guard Formation continued to ripple from the aftermath. Of course, the true destructive force was the very first wave of shockwaves from the explosion! It could truly be described as world-shaking, and thank goodness Tianming had thrown it high enough.

Otherwise, such a massive explosion might have affected the Flameyellow Fusion Formation!

Divine astralship formations leaned toward being combat-oriented, while fusion formations leaned toward being functional. Their protective capabilities were not bad, but they were indeed not as good as astralguard formations!

Tianming kept his head craned for a full minute, his eyes unblinking.

The fragments of astralships and the bloody remains of warbeasts had already piled up into mountains around the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, nearly burying it.

In terms of vitality, astral gods and their lifebound beasts had heptastar organs, which undoubtedly made them stronger than the warbeasts. However, even they were unlikely to survive being blown to pieces.

The burning cloud vibrated more than thirty thousand times before the shockwaves finally weakened and dissipated. At that moment, the fallen wreckage from the sky had completely buried the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb.

”Wow.” Only then did Tianming react and began panting. His mind finally caught up to the fact that the supermassive explosion that had shaken the entire Infinitum Bodhimanda had been created by him.

”Godfather!” His voice was hoarse as he shouted, ”What’s the situation?” The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb broke out of the pile covering it, roaring as it flew through the falling rain of corpses.

Wudi definitely had a clearer picture of the enemy’s losses than Tianming as he was in control of the overall situation.

”Two-thirds!!” Wudi shouted. For him, it was also unbelievable! He continued, ”The leading astralships were sanctuary- and deific-class and were basically destroyed on the spot, along with the astral gods and beasts around them! Even for those in the back, most of the sanctuary-class ships were destroyed, while all of the deific-class were annihilated!”

”Only less than three thousand of the opponent’s more than ten thousand astralships are still combat capable! The other two-thirds, even if they’re only heavily damaged, are temporarily unusable and are falling down!”

”What about the losses of the Exterminatus Army?” Tianming was overjoyed. To be honest, the three of them had never expected the power of the Flameyellow Canon of Heaven and Earth to be so terrifying. They had underestimated it! Even though it had limited impact on the ether-class ships, it had cleared the board of the sanctuary- and deific-class ships. In comparison, Shenxi Xingtian’s losses at Gladeus, where he had lost a hundred thousand astral gods and ten ether-class ships, were nothing!

Xiaodao hadn’t shaken the ebons’ foundation during the battle of Gladeus. It had been more like a slap. But this time it was like he had stabbed the ebons with a knife, a completely different concept! That was why he had wanted to know their losses.

“All of the astral gods at the front perished, while some at the back were thrown away and got off with their lives. In total, about two-thirds of their three million astral gods died or were heavily wounded. As for the lifebound beasts and wildbeasts, their larger sizes made them suffer more. That means the surviving beastmasters have also been greatly weakened. The worst were the ebons, whose warbeasts don’t have heptastar physiques and also aggressively rushed to the front. They lost four-fifths of their beasts!”

The heavily wounded Wudi spoke of meant that the astral god had been injured so badly they could no longer fight and were on death’s door. But here, flameyellow fiends could show up anywhere at any time! Xiaodao and Tianming didn’t need to remind Wudi, because he was a natural at kicking people when they were down and had already sent fiends to help those astral gods and lifebound beasts on death’s door pass on.

Wildbeasts were mindless without an ebon’s guidance, thus they were a lower priority. They would die on their own, sooner or later, so Wudi ignored them. The remaining wildbeasts couldn’t even threaten the Sky Palace Formation even if they went over.

“The Ebonfiend is being blocked. The survivors are all frightened out of their wits and scattered by the shockwaves. The flameyellow fiends can clean them up. Does this mean we’ve already won?” Today’s battle against the Exterminatus Army was of true historical significance to the entire Sun, just as important as the destruction of Skywolf!

Victory had come so quickly that Tianming himself hadn’t fully realized it yet and felt a bit dazed.

He knew that, even though the tome had played a crucial role in establishing victory, the true reason the Sun had won was because of the Gladean Ruins and the Flameyellow Guard Formation with its 1.2 million flameyellow fiends; the Flameyellow Canon of Heaven and Earth alone wouldn’t have been enough.

The opportunity just now was indeed too good. All the astralships had gathered, all the astral gods had left their ships, and even the lifebound beasts and warbeasts had come out to be beaten. When else could there be a second chance like this?

”Hold steady! Hold steady! Don’t get carried away! Shenxi Xingtian is still there! A third of their ships and astral gods are still there, and the Ebonfiend is still there! Only when they are defeated, escape, or die can we truly claim victory!”
