Beastmaster of the Ages

“You’ve heard about what just happened at my Fentian Mound, haven’t you?” Fentian He asked.

“Just heard,” Male Mo replied with a nod. “My condolences. The slave race is lowly and ungrateful. They’re bound to face retribution.”

“Just use that as the reason for the sacred lord! Our Eightpart Pantheons have been embarrassed by the slaves, and he still won’t lend it?” Fentian He didn’t hesitate at all to expose the wound and lay it bare for others to see.

“Alright! Await my news.” After Male Mo finished speaking, he went to deliver the message.

Once the transmission ended, Fentian He grit his teeth tightly. “Li Tianming’s insects are really hard to deal with. Not even cosmic sense can fully purge them. Long Xing’s clearly using them to avoid misfortune! The two of them are coordinating their timing to toy with us!”

Yanri Huang gently patted Fentian He on the shoulder. “As long as we get that Worldgazer Skyeye, capturing Long Xing will be easy! Then we’ll use him to push Li Tianming into a trap. Once those two are handled, the rest are just a scattered mob....”

It should have been such a simple task. Who could have thought it would escalate so? None of them wanted to be humiliated again.

“Of course!” Fentian He’s eyes burned. “The Worldgazer Skyeye is a cosmic god artifact!” Who could possibly escape that?

Just then, the transmission stone lit up again, and Male Mo’s excited voice came through. “The sacred lord heard about what happened at Fentian Mound and agreed to lend the Worldgazer to us in six months!”

On the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, Tianming was speaking to Long Xing via transmission stone.

“How’re you feeling?” he asked.

“Exhilarated! Now this feels like living.” Long Xing let out a small sigh. “All I used to have was resentment, hatred I couldn’t avenge, and grudges I couldn’t resolve. Only after taking revenge for my parents and people today did I realize what life really means!”

“Yeah, your starting point was way tougher than mine,” Tianming said.

Tianming’s first boss was a mere Lin Xiaoting from Lightning Manor. But Long Xing had started with the grudge of an entire race, facing cosmic gods and the Eightpart Pantheons. And with the low status of the flameyellow descendants, no one had ever protected him.

He had borne the dignity of an entire people by himself, and for that, Tianming deeply respected him. Although he was reserved, Long Xing was absolutely a true man.

“Wondersky and Wargod Haven probably already heard about what we did today.”ℴ

Yin Chen had already infiltrated both those worlds.

“They know. The annihilation of Fentian Mound even helped the growth rate of my omnisentient threads skyrocket!” Tianming paused. “But that’s your feat, so I haven’t really had that reputation boost yet.”

“How long do you think until you hit ten billion?” Long Xing asked.

“Hard to say! We need to stir up more chaos,” Tianming earnestly said.

“Then let’s keep going!” Long Xing’s fighting spirit had been ignited.

“No break for you?” Tianming smiled.

“Break? Screw that. Keep going! Hit ’em again and again until they’re too scared to leave home,” Long Xing chuckled.

“Damn impressive. What a feat, forcing the cosmic gods of Starmoon Haven to hide indoors!” Tianming praised.

“It’s all thanks to Boss Chen and Boss Bai,” Long Xing humbly replied.

“All the credit’s mine. It’s got nothing to do with that Little Fifth,” Bai Ye said with a grin.

“Eat shit,” Yin Chen sneered.

Soon, Tianming saw that all of the cosmic gods chasing him had returned and turned the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb back toward Starmoon Haven.

“Only mound cities have cosmic gods. The other cities don’t. We can use our overflower armies to strike them hard and fast!”

Tianming had Yin Chen handle all strategic arrangements. They would use guerrilla warfare, attacking and rapidly withdrawing.

“Fentian Mound was just the beginning!” Tianming descended over Starmoon Haven once more, and the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb promptly began its bombardment.

But this time no cosmic gods emerged. All of them were holed up in their respective cities, seething in frustration! They didn’t want a tragedy to befall their own clans.

“Not coming out? Even better! Now all of the Midsky Tristars will know that I’m bombing their front door, and their cosmic gods don’t even dare show their faces! Bunch of cowards!”

There were still more than ten years left on the heavenly oath. This was the smartest move Tianming could make.

“We must find a way to establish the final five billion omnisentient threads.”

The Starmoon Guard Formation shook, explosions erupting and flame raining across the entire world. Meanwhile, the elites of Starmoon Haven cowered in their mound cities, trembling. But hiding was useless!

As only mound cities had cosmic gods, Long Xing attacked normal cities instead. Those cities had even bigger populations that were also composed of the Sundown and Starfall Pantheon members.

And Long Xing showed no mercy.

At the same time, many flameyellow overflowers also launched attacks across various locations. The chance for revenge had come after years of suppressed rage.

Starmoon Haven would soon be strewn with corpses worldwide.

What surprised Tianming was that the cosmic gods really had the restraint to tolerate such provocation.
