Beastmaster of the Ages

Layer after layer of divine astralship formations were right ahead of Tianming. He used the Grand-Orient Sword to part them, opening a way along with his Sky Plundering Hand to aid the formation-untangling effort!

”There’s no need to come in! We’re out here!” came two cold voices from behind him just as he was about to rip the divine astralship apart.

Tianming turned around and saw two hundred-meter-tall cosmic gods shrouded in white nebulae. Their faces were sculpted to perfection to match one another. The male’s muscles were aesthetically well defined, while the female had beautiful, alluring curves. Nothing about them was too much; they had the right amount of everything.

The two pale figures turned into two lustrous astral bodies that looked just like a humanoid Starmoon Haven, brimming with eccentric beauty that overwhelmed the senses. The two cosmic gods were outright works of art!

Then three brilliant astral bodies emerged from the nebulae behind them with a great rumble. One of them looked to be covered in rivers of magma, while another appeared to be a grand scorchpath suanni with 24 beastfaces. The final one was hell in human form, shrouded in a devilish haze: the deva Hei Xuan! There were five of them in total, all of whom were oddly looking at Tianming with a hint of disbelief.

”He’s alone?” Fentian He said, doubtful.

”That’s right! His divine astralship isn’t even here!” Hei Xuan’s voice was light and raspy. Her face was rather weird, though she had a stunning figure that appeared even sexier than the perfect Female Mo. She didn’t look the least bit sickly, unlike most ugly devas.

”Then....” Female Mo turned to look at Fentian He.

”Didn’t we ask for that thing to capture him? Since he came to us on his own accord, what’re we waiting for?!” Fentian He couldn’t help but laugh. There was nothing but the void of space around them, and they were multiple cosmic gods against a single overflower! Beneath them was the Starmoon Guard Formation, which Tianming wasn’t allowed to pass through, and there wasn’t anywhere he could run to hide around them. He had backed himself into a corner.

”The brat’s grown stronger,” Male Mo said, turning a cold gaze to the white sphere.

”There’s no way he’d dare to come here alone if he didn’t at least improve,” Fentian He said, fuming with rage at the humiliating battle they had previously fought. ”I’ve said it time and again—Li Tianming’s much more annoying to deal with than Long Xing, and he’s much more important! Make sure not to mess up!”

”I wasn’t willing to believe you back then, but now I do,” Hei Xuan said with a dark smile.

As they spoke, the group quietly split up, surrounding Tianming. Fentian He and his suanni were together and Hei Xuan was alone, while the wonderian couple stayed together in their own pair.

Tianming turned his blazing gaze toward the cosmic gods. After he had left the spherical white ship, it zoomed off into the distance once more. Yin Chen managed to infiltrate it and told him that there was nothing of note in there, so the artifact must be in the hands of the wonderians. The ship was nothing more than a means for them to shorten their journey with the wormhole expressway.

”This location... isn’t good! Starmoon Haven’s... cosmic gods... can come... at any... time time!” Yin Chen warned.

”Alright.” Tianming cleared his throat and turned to Fentian He. ”I challenge you to a duel, you little shit!”

”A duel? One-on-one? Dream on!” Fentian He cackled.

”To think that a cosmic god wouldn’t dare to fight me alone. Where’s your dignity?” Tianming mocked.

”Hmm, I must’ve misplaced it somewhere.” Fentian He’s long hair began burning as he took out the Skyscorch Desolation, his long chain weapon, and charged toward Tianming with his beast. ”Killing you and ending things for good is of the highest priority!”

”Ah, that’s why you’re scared of using the Starmoon Skyveil this time. If they see you all ganging up on me, you’d be made laughingstocks for the rest of your lives! I’d expect nothing less from a cosmic god that got his entire clan wiped out!” Tianming didn’t hold back in his mockery at all.

”How dare you?!” Fentian He couldn’t get any angrier. He had been struggling to hold it in during the past six months!

”Long Xing, why’d you come out?” Tianming said, turning to look behind Fentian He. That was enough to cause him to stop for the slightest moment, which was all Tianming needed to zip off toward Starmoon Haven!

”Get him!” Five beams of burning starlight pursued a bolt of monochrome lightning through the void of space.

Tianming was akin to a galaxy in his own right. Even though he didn’t use anything like the Starmoon Skyveil, the ten billion people connected to him could feel the pressure he was under from those cosmic gods. Explosions that could destroy stars erupted nonstop across space, almost striking Tianming himself.

”At the end of the day, you’re no cosmic god! Without that power, you won’t be able to last!” Fentian He’s laughter drew closer and closer.

However, Tianming stopped all of a sudden before he made it too far; he had never planned to escape at all. All he had needed was some distance to react to the sudden assault. The cosmic gods within the mound cities in the world below him could still come slaughtering his way at any time.

Once more, Fentian He and the others surrounded him.

”Your end is nigh!” Fentian He’s voice boomed and crashed against Tianming’s eardrums.

All of a sudden, a white fog surrounded Tianming as he charged toward Fentian He with sword in hand!
