Beastmaster of the Ages

Tianming fought Fengqing You with Xiaoxiao and the Archaionfiend’s support, so he wasn’t technically alone. The Archaionfiend joined the other lifebound beasts in their coordinated attacks. More and more, it began realizing that it would rapidly rise through the astralscape as long as it stayed by Tianming’s side. Lately, Xiaoxiao didn’t even have to remind him to give them cultivation resources.

Before Lin Ke had gone for Feiling, Fengqing Youyun and Youmeng had unleashed their divine wonders against Tianming, the ephemeral world and eightpart apparition wonders respectively. Tianming was all too well acquainted with them. While the two divine wonders were smaller than Meng Ying’s, they were still humongous to Tianming.

The ephemeral world wonder spanned the entire battlefield and coordinated with Fengqing Youyun’s order to form a misty world around them, instantly encompassing Tianming and the rest. Billions of worlds seemed to flash before their eyes; it was magnificent control over such a grand divine wonder. It was no wonder this was considered among the best divine wonders of the Skydome Mundus. Illusions conjured by nova wildbeasts were far from comparable.

Tianming seemingly left the battlefield after he was pulled into the lifelike world, where everything looked completely realistic. Then came the second divine wonder, Fengqing Youmeng’s eightpart apparitions. Countless white ghosts manifested in the ephemeral world wonder, forming an army that charged toward Tianming and his beasts.

Unlike Feiling’s weird battle, the scale of this one was incredibly grand, making it the center of attention of the audience from the Skydome Mundus. Countless illusions of what the world could have been, or what the world of the afterlife would be chained together to form a vivid phantasmagoria, separated only by the ravenous eightpart apparitions that were everywhere the eye could see!

”It’s no wonder they’re so confident. Their divine wonders combined are stronger than six normal divine wonders!” The eightpart apparitions, in particular, were incredibly fierce in their attacks, seemingly a bad match for the fairy-like Fengqing Youmeng.

”Use your abilities to blast their divine wonders first!” Tianming instructed. The other beasts that were trapped in the ephemeral world did as they were told, filling their surroundings with crackling lightning, infernal flames, earthquakes, tidal waves, exploding ladybugs, and countless powerful flowers. Eventually, many holes appeared in the divine wonders.

However, the apparitions eventually gained on them, surrounding Tianming’s lifebound beasts. There was an entire mountain of them where Xian Xian and Lan Huang were, taking the form of a gigantic white bat. And there were even more where the Archaionfiend was!

”One of the divine wonders sets up the stage for the other to run wild within. They’re too powerful together.” Putting aside his beasts, even Tianming felt that he was being subdued. The eightpart apparitions around him seemingly blocked out the light from above. The more he killed, the more took their place! Even with the Prime Starchain, he wasn’t able to take care of all of them. Not to mention, Fengqing Youmeng and Youyun were almost within attack range!

The view ahead of him looked like the streets of Flamehaven, but the crowd on the streets were eightpart apparitions. One of the women that looked like Wei Jing suddenly raised a sword and turned into Fengqing Youmeng and charged at Tianming. Behind him, a simple pillar turned into Fengqing Youyun, who also charged in for an attack. Their divine wonders applied even more pressure on him at the same time.

The cosmic artifacts that they used were almost on the level of high-ether-class artifacts, being much stronger than the Grand-Orient Sword and among the most powerful weapons in the Skydome Mundus. Fengqing Youyun’s lapis-lazuli-like longsword was called the Empyrean Cloud, also known as the Sword of Heaven.

Fengqing Youmeng’s twilight-yellow sword, on the other hand, was called the Yellowspring Dream, or the Sword of Hell. The cosmic impulses of the two swords complemented each other, though parts of them also repelled each other. The tandem sword arts that could be executed using them were varied and unpredictable. In that instant, the entire world was drowned out in their sword art! Once more, Tianming was impressed. He knew that the opponents in front of him weren’t ones that he could underestimate.

The ephemeral world wonder rapidly shifted, changing before Tianming was able to see through any of its illusions. It was hard to tell what was real and what wasn’t. There was a chance that the divine wonderians before him were fake. ”No!”

He picked up on something with a glance. ”The sword arts they’re using should be infinitum class, like the Grandvoid Compendium and Xiaozhi Sword Art! This is the famous Skydome Clouddream Compendium! It should be split up into two parts for two different practitioners, much like the Mirage Starslaughter art that I learned way back. But while the two of them are executing their parts of the sword art well, their coordination isn’t as good as other divine wonderian couples’!”

Tianming had fought quite a number of divine wonderians before, so he understood their cooperation well. But here, the divine wonders of Fengqing Youmeng and Youyun didn’t seem to perfectly blend together. There were actually quite a lot of flaws! ”Their disunity is my opening!”

It wasn’t just him; Ying Huo and the rest also found gaps in the divine wonders’ attacks and countered.

”You!” Fengqing Youmeng shot a fierce glare at Fengqing Youyun.

”You were the one that lost focus. How can I be blamed for that?” Fengqing Youyun’s expression was cold.

”I’ll deal with you when we return!”

”You? What makes you think you’re worthy?”

Fengqing Youmeng stared coldly at her twin and couldn’t be bothered saying anything else. She raised the Yellowspring Dream and mobilized her eightpart apparitions, turning them into a stream that rushed toward Tianming. But that reduced the offensive capabilities of her partner’s divine wonder, leaving only harmless illusions behind and putting a lot of pressure on him.

”Charge, brothers and sisters!” Ying Huo loudly chirped as it shook the illusions apart. Then it turned into a small chick and zipped behind Fengqing Youyun.

”Divine wonderians that give up on fighting as a couple are just waiting to be killed.” Their famed reputation as the best lovers in the entire universe had already been in doubt since Tianming had seen what the dreamless celestial emperor actually was.
