Beastmaster of the Ages

It was the pivotal moment. The Ebonfiend, bloodline wisteria, and beast wave combined had brought Greenhill to its day of reckoning. 1.8 billion people were about to die. But at that exact moment, a nine-headed black-and-gold dragon had appeared in the sky like a savior, swooping down on the Ebonfiend, hitting their hearts like a ton of bricks. The battlefield was filled with a cacophony of sounds, so Shenxi Xingtian only discovered the giant dragon above him when it was about to pounce.

”What?!” Shenxi Xingtian’s skull almost exploded, his liquid eyes boiling as unspeakable anger rushed to the top of his head.

”Lin Feng, what the fuck are you doing! Stop this at once!” Although no treaty had been made, Shenxi Xingtian had believed that he was in an alliance with the Sun.

Instead of slowing down, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb accelerated as it shot toward the Ebonfiend.

”LIN FENG!!” Shenxi Xingtian roared, his voice shaking the walls of the Ebonfiend. One could certainly imagine his rage.

The astonishing change of events shook the entire battlefield. Even the wildbeasts could sense the terrifying power of the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. In the absence of Yi Daiyan, the infinitum-class astralship’s unrivaled power would definitely shock the world.

In the middle of Shenxi Xingtian’s long string of expletives, the tomb continued accelerating. Shrouded in black mist, the dragon slammed into the Ebonfiend with the force of an entire star. The resounding boom rocked half of Ebonia.

As a result, the Ebonfiend’s attack was interrupted mid launch, so the explosive power failed to hit Greenhill. It swept through the terrain beside the guardian formation, turning billions of wildbeasts into ashes instead. A bottomless fissure appeared next to Greenhill and nova source erupted from below. The sight shocked everyone present.

In the sky above, two infinitum-class astralships collided. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb let out a ferocious roar, its tail, claws, and dragon heads composed of fiendvore drakegold sinking into the black fiendish head. A grating sound reverberated in the air as the rotating dragon tail stabbed the Ebonfiend’s mouth. It was loud enough to drown out the roars of the nova wildbeasts below, and those on Greenhill covered their ears. Meanwhile, the astral gods within the Ebonfiend were tossed up and down from the turbulent movement.

The force of the attack sent the Ebonfiend crashing from the sky. When the two infinitum-class astralships hit the ground, the impact was so great that the ground crumbled, mountains collapsed, the earth trembled, and all vegetation was scorched. A while later, the cultivators on Greenhill recovered from their shock, their eyes wet with tears.

”I-it’s Lin Feng from the Swordgod Lin Clan!”

”That’s the young hundred-year-old genius who controls a fifth-level nova source world!”

”Yes! It’s him!”

”He came to save us....”

”Didn’t they say he’d join forces with the ebons and seek revenge on Yi Daiyan for killing his father?”

”Shouldn’t he watch in safety while the tigers fight, then reap the spoils of war when we’re all exhausted? There’s no way he’s come to protect us! There’s luxdaemons here!”

”God knows....”

The ebons were just as confused. No one could understand why Tianming would involve himself at this point.

“Forget about it! It doesn’t have to make sense!”

”All that matters is that he’s here to help us!”

”Maybe he’s the rex mundi’s secret weapon! Maybe he’s reconciled with our rex mundi! Or maybe she’s surrendered to him! It doesn’t matter, the important thing is that he saved us. We must stand and defend Greenhill!”

”Yes! Defend Greenhill!”

All 1.8 billion cultivators on Greenhill surged with adrenaline. Their belief in the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb had given them hope.

”It’s obvious that the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb is more powerful than the Ebonfiend!”

“The bloodline wisteria and numerous beasts have gone to aid the Ebonfiend. We still have a fighting chance.”

”Lin Feng and his astralship are so strong!”

”He’s extremely formidable, and only a hundred years old!”

They were all excited. Anyone who witnessed the two infintum-class astralships battling in the sky would feel that way. In terms of close combat, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb was definitely first in its class, and the most powerful astralship in at least two mundi. Not even the Ebonfiend or Gladean Ruins were a match for it.

In order to escape the Sun, the Ebonfiend had sacrificed its hair-like chains, which were very important close combat weapons. Now that it was ‘bald’, its combat power had been compromised! A long-range battle of nova source would have been fine, but the Ebonfiend was at a disadvantage in close combat with the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb with Tianming at the helm. A large number of components had been torn apart by the nine-headed dragon; the Ebonfiend would have been helpless if it weren’t for the bloodline wisteria and wildbeasts that impeded the dragon.

”Lin Feng, your master Xiaodao and I joined forces to fight the witch! How will you face your master after stopping me?” Shenxi Xingtian was furious.

To his dismay, Tianming completely ignored him, as if he didn’t exist.

The nine dragon heads unleashed Fiendvore Dragonbreath, incinerating the vines of the bloodline wisteria that surrounded the tomb. Several hundred million nova wildbeasts were also vaporized by the powerful nova source attack. In the face of a dragon forged by infinitum ore, low-level wildbeasts were all cannon fodder. The most they could do was block the tomb’s line of sight.

The bloodline wisteria was just as useless against the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. Its destructive power was spread out, but no matter how many vines there were, they couldn’t do anything to the fiendvore drakegold. Although it had balled up its vines into a sphere as large as a helical-class world, the bloodline wisteria still failed to trap the tomb.

In an instant, countless roots were reduced to ashes by Fiendvore Dragonbreath. Despite its large number of vines, the bloodline wisteria wouldn’t be able to survive for long if it continued to take such damage. And now that the bloodline wisteria had concentrated its energy and attention on the tomb, the ebons wouldn’t be able to break into Greenhill. However, it was still their intended target.

The Ebonfiend took another blow, slamming hard into the ground again. All five hundred thousand astral gods inside the astralship were dizzy from being smacked around. Shenxi Xingtian exploded with rage.

”Rex Mundi, what should we do? With this fool here trying to stop us, we won’t be able to attack Greenhill! We’ll miss the opportunity if this continues.” The ebons were anxious.

”Is Lin Feng crazy? How’s he going to suppress Yi Daiyan if he misses this opportunity?”

”He’s crazy! He’s gone completely insane!”

”Rex Mundi, is there any way we can negotiate with him?”
