Beastmaster of the Ages

Above Tianming, a blazing phoenix was flying around the astralguard formation like a fish in water. Tianming also cradled a little cat made of lightning that Ba Xiao couldn’t help but take a few more glances at. Lan Huang, having achieved better compression, also seemed smaller than before. Xian Xian, on the other hand, had fused its spiritform and tree form together, appearing as a physical plant being that was shaped like its spiritform. Its many flowers began infiltrating the lightning foundation fortress.

Moran’s two infinitum-class divine wonders also worked their magic. When Ba Xiao had first unleashed his foundation fortress, the ephemeral world wonder had immediately melded with it, creating countless clouds around the area to the point that Ba Xiao couldn’t get a clear view of his foundation fortress, rendering him unable to achieve complete control. Not to mention, countless eightpart apparitions appeared next to Tianming and glared at Ba Xiao.

”There’s far too many tricks!” Ba Xiao was truly impressed, yet that wouldn’t stop a senior like him from looking down at a junior many times younger than him. ”Without a proper foundation of power built through the ages, you’re nothing but a paper tiger no matter how many tricks you have. They’re nothing but child’s play for this Grandpa! It’s useless!”

Ba Xiao wildly laughed as countless lightning bolts burst forth from his body, forming a terrifying spiked club with curved hooks that could easily tear people to shreds. The cosmic artifact also had nine cosmic impulses that resembled nine wolf heads. ”You have a decent weapon indeed. It looks even better than my Ninestar Wolffang. Looks like I have to ask Big Sis to grant me that when I defeat you....”

Ba Xiao smirked when he saw Tianming charging at him. He stretched out a hand to apply the suppression of his higher cultivation level. His eyes flashed and his voice instantly grew a few times louder like the clap of thunder. ”Anyone who isn’t a foundationeer shall freeze before my foundation fortress! Do you think struggling will work?!”

Order was the strongest suppressive force one could have! Ba Xiao cackled as his foundation fortress surrounded Tianming, applying the pressure of order on every single astron of his in an attempt to stop the flow of cosmoforce and control his thoughts and vita.

”Kneel!” In Ba Xiao’s mind, Tianming would instantly cry as he was forced to the ground. But the next instant, he noticed that Tianming’s gaze grew even sharper, his speed not decreasing in the slightest.

”What?!” It felt like the suppression force of his order was falling into an endless abyss, completely swallowed up by Tianming no matter how much force was applied! Not to mention, his own lightning order burst forth from Tianming’s body and shot back toward him, blasting at and greatly shaking his foundation fortress much to his chagrin!

”Impossible!” It was one thing to absorb the power of order, but since when could it be reflected back?! That wasn’t something Ba Xiao had ever heard about!

Tianming wouldn’t miss out on a chance like this. ”Die!” The two divine wonders launched the first wave of attacks on Ba Xiao.

”Grand Xia, Unparalleled Grace!” The many words of Tianming’s wonder mixed in with the patterns of lightning on Ba Xiao’s skin, forming a large web that surrounded his body like a cage before beginning to constrict.

”What in the world is this?!” Ba Xiao felt frustration, followed by rage! Even being touched by Tianming was unacceptable. The world ahead of him instantly began shifting nonstop as illusions began stacking up according to Ba Xiao’s tastes: beauties. In a short time, illusory beauties appeared around him, but before he could even get a fill of them, they turned into ferocious eightpart apparitions and tore away at his body! Each one that rammed into his body seemed to bite off a chunk of his astrons like vile poison.

”Holy crap! It really is Meng Ying’s divine wonder! It’s poison!” Ba Xiao cursed. His order suppression was useless, and the three divine wonders put him on the back foot! He felt pain all over his body. If it weren’t for the twelve cosmic charts that constantly regenerated him, he would have been torn to shreds long ago!

The ephemeral world wonder was only good for illusions, but the grand lexicon wonder helped limit Ba Xiao’s movements and the eightpart apparition wonder did the bulk of the damage while he was helpless. It was truly quite a vexing experience to be abused like that, and he turned that vexation into rage. Rage was the true foundation of his cultivation as his explosive lightning powers had suggested. The angrier he was, the wilder he would get! fr.𝐜o𝗺

Ba Xiao opened both arms and roared, shaking the heavens and earth and shattering one Xia word after another. Cosmoforce surged from his body, shattering the ephemeral world wonder and the apparitions that inhabited it! It was a full display of foundationeer power!

”Li Tianming, you’ve made me mad alr—” Before he could finish, his body was bombarded with Ghoulface Fiendblossoms, Bloodrain Swords, Radiant Vines, black roots, and more. All of them sapped his strength, striking a deep nerve that caused Ba Xiao’s face to contort with pain.

Right after that, a two-headed dragon covered in Myriadstar Swordrings and Primordial Swords slammed into him. The dense Lan Huang packed quite a punch!

The two lifebound beasts sent Ba Xiao flying with a caved-in chest, blood trailing in his wake.

”You!” Ba Xiao crackled with lightning and rage. He spotted the lightning cat unleashing all sorts of terrifying lightning abilities at him. The Triworld Afterlife Halls alone were enough to suppress his own lightning element, destroying the bolts that his cosmoforce had generated before directly striking his bald head!

His skull shattered, but before he could curse, his seventh astral organ near his crotch region was cut off by Ying Huo’s wing, a blazing sword that carried Infernal Blaze! The blaze entered his other astral organs and exploded! Ba Xiao lost body parts from both extremities, suffering indescribable pain!

But that was only the start of the battering. Tianming didn’t hold back in the slightest; his rage was not the slightest bit weaker than Ba Xiao’s.
