Beastmaster of the Ages

Eminent Baigui turned back, stunned. His eyes widened and his mouth gaped. Tianming had shown it to him! Behind the white-haired youth were countless omnisentient threads of black and gold that stretched toward Greensource and the rest of the Infinitum Mundus. Eminent Baigui’s vision was filled with nothing but those threads!

Tianming had killed nineteen eminents in a row and stopped the vacuum formation, and everyone who was connected to him had a front-row seat to witness everything that happened. They cheered with wild passion and the number of omnisentient threads continued growing without limit.

Even though most of them were mortals, their terrifying numbers still amounted to boundless power. Tianming was three times stronger than when he had killed Eminent Yinyue!

It was the most powerful he had ever been. Perhaps even the Primordial God-Emperor himself wouldn’t have expected that a mere youth would achieve so much with his cultivation method and a single mundus.

Tianming’s foundations were deep and powerful. The mutual understanding and sympathy he’d achieved through resonating with his subjects had bound their fates together. He was the one who could become what they wanted him to be. Only by respecting all life could all life come to respect him!

Eminent Baigui saw Tianming surrounded by trillions of people, filling up the space around them. They were beyond any normal description, far more than their constituent parts. The combined aggregate of wills was nothing any astral god could even come close to being. In Eminent Baigui’s eyes, they were a cosmic horror!

He had never been so terrified. His entire body rumbled as he looked at Tianming up above him, looking back down at him like a judge would a convict.

In a booming voice, Tianming said, ”Eminent Baigui, you don’t think that I alone would be powerful enough to kill you, right? You called the masses nothing but insignificant dust. I’ll let you know, however, that it was those very same insignificant masses that you looked down on that killed everyone here today, destroyed the Hellfiend, and eventually the Yumo Blood Crucible as well!”

Tianming raised his sword up high, channeling omnisentient power into it. The sword glowed as bright as a mighty star, pulsing with sword ki. It completely outshone Greensource, making Tianming even more blinding to behold.

”It’s the Greatsun Suishen Art!” Eminent Baigui was going insane. Tears endlessly flowed from his two eyes with three irises each. He was experiencing terror like never before at that very moment. His worldview crumbled and everything he understood and held to were foundations that he could no longer rely on. Before Tianming’s attack even landed, his spirit had already been torn apart.

Eminent Baigui was a bestial husk of his former self, no different from a nova wildbeast. He knew that he would die, but there was nothing he could do about it but desperately howl and struggle to the end. Roaring, he charged toward Tiaming, turning into a beam of white light.

Tianming coldly looked down. The profundity of Explode of the Greatsun Suishen Art began to manifest within his sword. Not even Eminent Ranxing would be able to unleash that move to this level of power.

”I sentence you to death!” As Tianming’s sword came down, it felt like a nova source world exploded into a supernova. The torrent of omnisentient power formed a sword projection like a waterfall that fell toward Eminent Baigui.

”Ah! Aaaagh!” My House Yumo....” Eminent Baigui hadn’t encountered a being of such power before. He teared up as his entire being was swallowed by the attack and ground to fine dust. An eminent who could easily rank in the top five most powerful in House Yumo and the captain of the Hellfiend died just like that. His final words were a tragic lament for himself and House Yumo.

All the baleful souls that were trapped in his body burst forth and formed a sparkling arc of starlight that illuminated Greensource’s sky. It was the first of its kind ever witnessed there.

”Whoa!”

The people living on the side of the star where it was visible watched as their emperor carved out a river of stars in the sky.

”It’s beautiful....”

”Is this the power that all of us joined together to create?”

”Emperor...!”

Gratitude turned into devotion and tearful jubilation. Through omnisentient threads, even those who weren’t within eyeshot had witnessed the battle. Those that weren’t connected to Tianming soon learned the truth. It didn’t take long before his thread coverage across Greensource grew to ninety-five percent of its population.

A sword projection in the form of a golden river of stars streaked across the sky as the denizens of Greensource cheered. They weren’t just cheering for Tianming, but for themselves as well. Through the omnisentient threads, they knew that they had played a part in repelling the world-ending threat!

The sense of participation had not only intensified their worship, but also made them understand the importance of uniting as one against a much greater foe. Anyone and everyone could be part of it. They had done it; Infinitum had done it!

Twenty eminents who were core members of House Yumo had perished in a distant backwater. Their deaths would be a huge blow to House Yumo’s might and they were destined to be completely outshone by House Suishen as a result.

Most of those eminents were on the younger side, too, and could still make breakthroughs. Eminent Baigui, for instance, could have one day risen to the level of Eminent Ranxing. They were by no means old and deteriorating!

Now that Tianming had crushed House Yumo’s backbone, their plans had been completely ruined. One could only imagine the kind of changes that would sweep through Myriadpath Valley as a result. But alas, Tianming didn’t feel too strongly about it. He was just doing what he had always wanted to do, and there was still much left to accomplish. He didn’t need to spell it out to his believers; with the omnisentient threads, all of them understood his will.
