Beastmaster of the Ages

Qitian Muchen heard the growl and felt a bit annoyed, as his recent excitement had been disturbed. He wasn’t worried at all because everyone in the Outer Yin was on his side. Even if the eminents from House Yumo or Suishen entered, they wouldn’t dare snatch the harvest from the valley lord’s youngest son.

However, he suddenly felt his scalp tingle when he saw purple mist waft in. A person shrouded entirely in purple mist, whose appearance was completely obscured, suddenly charged into the ancient tomb, filling it with purple mist!

It was none other than Tianming, who had arrived at full speed after hearing the warning from Yin Chen.

Goodness! As soon as he entered, he saw Qitian Muchen surrounded by a group of beautiful women. To be able to simultaneously flirt with so many women was certainly a remarkable talent.

”Green with envy, Little Li?” Ying Huo teased.

”Quality over quantity. None of them are as beautiful as my Ling’er,” Tianming angrily retorted.

”True that. The fifty Little Fishes would be way better than this!” Lan Huang couldn’t help but chime in. Unlike the mental communication between Tianming and Ying Huo, that fellow directly shouted from Tianming’s right leg with a loud voice that shook the ancient tomb.

”Damn!” Tianming was exasperated by his foolishness and immediately scolded, ”Shut up already!”

Luckily, the eight people opposite them hadn’t guessed Tianming’s identity from Lan Huang’s loud outburst. The seven women had already heard Qitian Muchen mention the ’Mistrunner’, so they screamed in fright, huddling behind Qitian Muchen with faces full of terror.

Their ages varied, with some older and some younger. However, they were all in Qitian Muchen’s age group, and in terms of cultivation, they barely made it into the ranks of the reverends and were mostly fifth-level foundationeers.

Only Liu Xinyi was a bit older. She was close to two thousand years old, and a sixth-level foundationeer like Qititan Muchen. However, she was much weaker than him. Qitian Muchen and his ninesource beast had no rivals among seventh-level foundationeers, having already beaten several seventh-level foundationeer pathkeepers.

He frowned, but didn’t panic. His expression quickly turned cold. ”Who exactly are you?” he sternly asked. He couldn’t even be sure if this ’Mistrunner’ was the same one he had previously encountered.

Tianming didn’t bother answering. His eyes swept over the ancient tomb, finally locking on to the crystal coffin. This must be the secret of the tomb!

He didn’t hesitate to rush toward the crystal coffin, but before he could get close, Qitian Muchen stood in front of it and coldly said, ”No matter who you are, you’re destined for death if you dare touch something from Myriadpath Valley!”

Tianming coldly glanced at him. His ninesource beast is escorting the lifebearer tortoise to the Lumistar Formation. If I want to take the contents of this crystal coffin, I must quickly take him down!

”The youngest son of the valley lord?” Tianming’s eyes locked on to Qitian Muchen and he recalled the torment he had inflicted on Jian Qinghe, prompting a surge of anger in Tianming’s chest.

Right! Eminent Tian Nu and the others aren’t far from Qitian Muchen! Tianming remembered that Qitian Muchen had a way to notify his bodyguards through a Minor Lumistar Formation. Once it was released, those people would immediately arrive.

At that moment, Qitian Muchen whispered something into Liu Xinyi’s ear and handed her a glowing sphere, obviously instructing her to leave with the Minor Lumistar Formation. If it were to be set off in the tomb, the disturbance would be hard to detect outside.

Liu Xinyi had just received the Minor Lumistar Formation and was about to act, but Tianming was faster. The women feared the Mistrunner, so they followed Liu Xinyi to escape. In an instant, Fiveway Blitzrun positioned Tianming near the bronze door, blocking Liu Xinyi’s path.

There was no room for hesitation when dealing with a dangerous person like Qitian Muchen, who had powerful backers. The slightest mistake could lead to unimaginable consequences.

Thus, Tianming unleashed all of his techniques, apart from his wonder. The black-and-gold sword light formed by the Infinitum Stele, the decapath era godswords in their fivefold simulacrum, and the symbiotic combat power of his five lifebound beasts all joined together to make him resembled a sword-wielding god of death.

”Careful!” Qitian Muchen shouted in alarm, but it was already too late.

Beacon Chaosswamp unleashed a mixed explosion of lightning and fire that shook the entire ancient tomb. Naturally, the seven women bore the brunt of the attack. In the chaos, the black-and-gold sword light slashed through the air using the Grandvoid Compendium and Xiaozhi Sword Art he had rarely displayed in Myriadpath Valley. As Tianming moved past the group, all the fifth-level foundationeers, each of whom were stronger than Lan Yun and Huang Daolie, collapsed after one hit.

Tianming’s strength had utterly transformed recently and his piercing sword strikes tore through these beastmasters and their lifebound beasts, causing blood to spurt everywhere.

The only one that proved a bit troublesome was Liu Xinyi. She almost slipped past him, but Tianming’s Fiveway Blitzrun was faster. With a swift turn, he used the Imperator’s Mural to fire an eight-fusion fusion sword strike that pierced through her back, annihilating her internal organs on the spot. The spatial ring that held the Minor Lumistar Formation also fell into Tianming’s hands.

A chaotic slaughter! Tianming had no qualms about being ruthless, even though his opponents were women. After all, they weren’t his women.

Moreover, none of them had died. Other than Liu Xinyi, who was gravely injured, the others still had some fighting capability. However, they had never encountered anyone so fierce in attacking Myriadpath Valley disciples and were now terrified. They quickly retracted their lifebound beasts, no longer daring to flee. Crying and wailing, they all hid behind Qitian Muchen.

The entire process was so fast and brutal that, although Qitian Muchen wanted to help, he hesitated and held back.
