Beastmaster of the Ages

At the very least, Demoness Yin wouldn’t be tricked twice, nor would she give up until she broke into the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. For Demoness Yin, the death of a foundationeer was significant. It was all fun and games if no one died, but the death of one of her people meant enmity.

Her tone changed at once, growing colder and more vicious than before. Perhaps it was her true nature. Tianming was nothing but a plaything to her, yet her general had been slaughtered by that “plaything”. Her sinister laughter echoed in the tomb like a long nightmare. The frown on their faces deepened when they heard Demoness Yin gouging the tomb with her cosmic artifact once more.

”The situation is worse than imagined.” Tianming looked behind him, his eyes gloomy.

”What’s going on?” Feiling was stunned.

”Yin Chen lost Mister Taihe’s position!” Tianming said. He was frowning because he sensed extreme danger. There was no doubt about it; he was on the edge of life and death!

”He’s here!” Moran shouted.

The group of foundationeers was ferocious and moved even faster than the tomb at max speed. Tianming caught sight of Mister Taihe as soon as Moran exclaimed.

”He was so focused on setting up the Starshatter Formation. Maybe he’s realized that I’m stronger than he thought!”

Perhaps Mister Taihe wasn’t sure if Demoness Yin could deal with Tianming if he continued slaughtering her people. It was obvious that Tianming was growing stronger and Mister Taihe might not be able to accept that.

”Mister Taihe....” Tianming could see him clearly!

Breaking through the illusion created by the ephemeral world wonder, Mister Taihe appeared next to the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. He was a man that even Demoness Yin respected—in fact, the title “Taihe the Fiend” would be fitting.

”Sure enough, he’s a specter!” Tianming couldn’t make out his true identity before, but his true face had been fully revealed at that moment.

Just one glance at the peerless man who burst through the ephemeral world wonder made Tianming’s head throb. The previous Mister Taihe was an ordinary, gentle scholar with pale skin. He even looked malnourished, like a sick patient. However, his body had grown several meters, like a fiend similar to Zi Zhen. His entire body was even more pale and his white hair had stretched to several meters in length, messily spread out like a mad demon. The ends of his hair were split into sharp spikes.

He was a skyghoul! Mister Taihe was even more ferocious than Li Fan. He was covered in white scales with spikes on them. There were bone spurs on his elbows, knees, and other joints. His hands were even bigger than his legs, and all ten of his claws resembled blades. But the scariest of all was his eye.

There wasn’t a mouth or nose on his hideous face, only one thing: a huge eye socket that occupied almost three-quarters of his head! And within that eye socket were five pupils surrounded by the whites of his eye. Like a vortex, the black pupils constantly rotated and formed a ring. They seemed capable of hypnotizing and snatching souls.

Although he didn’t appear as vicious as Zi Zhen, he was certainly more bizarre. Li Fan had two eyes and four pupils; Mister Taihe only had one eye, but five pupils; and Zi Zhen had two eyes and six pupils. They were obviously different. As skyghouls, they possessed super strong physiques. However, Mister Taihe had earned the respect of the Intrepideans, which meant that he was as powerful, if not more powerful, than Demoness Yin.

At that moment, Tianming met Mister Taihe’s gaze. Then he was introduced to the terror of Mister Taihe.

BOOM!

The entire Ninedragon Imperial Tomb shook so violently it almost turned upside down. When Mister Taihe slammed his body directly into the tomb, it was like being hit by a giant beast of the same size. The impact made all the astrons in Tianming’s body tremble. All Mister Taihe relied on was the strength of his physical body and his claws to attack the astralship. He tore apart the fiendvore drakegold with his bare hands.

Both Demoness Yin and Yi Daiyan only posed a threat to astralships if they used a cosmic artifact, yet Mister Taihe could do that with just his flesh. Like a savage beast, he ripped apart the surface of the tomb as if he were competing with Demoness Yin. The weakness he had shown before was all fake and formed a stark contrast with his true nature.

Tianming knew that he wasn’t some formation guru who could only set up Starshatter Formations, but an extremely powerful man that was even harder to deal with than Demoness Yin. That was the reason the situation was far worse than he had predicted.

Two top experts were tearing the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb apart. Behind them were two more foundationeers and a group of cosmic cartographers eyeing their prey. Tianming would bring them into the Sky Palace Formation if he were to crash into it; how could there be any way out?

It wouldn’t take much time at all for them to break into the tomb. Tianming was at a dead end. Mister Taihe was also eager to attack, while Demoness Yin was filled with rage. Although the cosmos was vast, there wasn’t a way out.

At that moment, Tianming wasn’t the only one who felt powerless. The people of the Sun shared his emotions. They would live and die with Tianming. If he fell, they would all perish. Their hearts bled with fear and anxiety. It was a crucial, yet extremely dangerous time.

”Big brother....” Feiling held his hand.

Fortunately, no matter how dangerous the situation was, Feiling would always remain by his side. Even if this was the end, they would face it together. There were many regrets in life, but Tianming’s heart was filled to the brim. He felt powerful with her delicate hand in his and her beautiful face that greeted him as soon as he turned around. When their eyes met, he knew that he had everything he wanted in this life. Regardless of the outcome, he didn’t have any regrets.

”Ling’er, hold on tight!” Tianming suddenly laughed, his smile as bright as the sun.

”Huh?” Feiling was stunned.

Tianming pinched her nose and said nothing, then turned the tomb around. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb dived down from the sky, passing through the sea of flames.

”Look! The tomb!”
