Beastmaster of the Ages

Six cosmic gods had managed to pass through the Starmoon Guard Formation and its amalgamation of dozens of types of power. It was difficult for the formation to stop them.

”Second-level cosmic gods really are something else!” It was clear that cosmic gods were much better than astralships at breaching guardian formations. The reason Long Xing had been unable to escape before was that he’d only been a first-level cosmic god. A dozen or more cosmic gods would have charged in and killed him during his struggle to get through.

”Starmoon sword ki, go!” Tianming pursued the cosmic gods in the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb while directing the Starmoon Guard Formation to attack them.

Starmoon sword ki was the formation’s offensive function, much like the flameyellow fiends of the Sun, in the form of fifty-meter-long streaks of sword ki.

”The nova source in a fortuna-class world almost entirely manifests as cosmic impulses.” Therefore, starmoon sword ki was condensed from a vast number of cosmic impulses far greater than what the Grand-Orient Sword contained.

Over a hundred million beams condensed between Long Xing and his pursuers, concentrating almost the full power of the Starmoon Guard Formation in this one location!

”For a cosmic god, these are like wooden swords. But being hit by over a hundred million of them has to sting!” Tianming let out a cold laugh. There was some satisfaction in using the creations of the Eightpart Pantheons to attack their descendants.

Wave after wave of sword ki sped toward the cosmic gods, making their expressions visibly change as their eyes radiated fury and light.

”A slave dares to play the master in our territory?” Mo Tu’s expression grew extremely grim.

In the next instant, the cosmic gods were drowned in sword ki. However, their expressions didn’t change as they casually shattered thousands of sword ki beams and began swimming through the sea as easily as giant ships traversing the ocean!

Just the wonders of those two wonderians could clear open a path, like two giant claws extending out to capture Long Xing.

”It’s indeed hard to wound them with sword ki alone! Luckily, I have limitless sword ki. Break them all you want and they’ll just recondense!” Tianming kept up the bombardment and interference, waiting for a chance. It was clearly a battle of patience, a psychological contest where neither side could afford to be hasty.

Thus, Long Xing rushed at the front on his dragon, with the Moonfiend Hunt and wonderian pursuers hot on his heels, using the Worldgazer Skyeye to lock on to their target. At the rear, Tianming leisurely trailed them in his astralship!

Sure enough, the pursuers began to lose patience.

”These damn sword ki beams are annoying as hell!” Qiu Yuan, the Virtue Pantheon specter, snarled.

”Li Tianming must be controlling this formation! He’s inside an astralship, and may very well be near us!” Mo Tu said as he scanned the surroundings.

”Nearby?” The wonderian starlords couldn’t help but glance behind. One of them, Tong, said, ”If he’s following us, he’s most likely right behind us!”

”In truth, Long Xing’s no longer the main problem. This Li Tianming is even more bizarre! It’s a pity we don’t have his astron remnants....” Zhi directed her wonder to search behind them and her expression subtly changed. ”There’s astralship movement behind us!”

Everyone immediately looked toward the ashura, who was the core of the group.

Yue Mo immediately ordered, ”Qiu Yuan, you and our two wonderian friends stay behind and check it out!”

The Virtue Pantheon specter, Qiu Yuan, nodded. Wonders were excellent means of controlling an astralship.

As for Long Xing, with the Worldgazer Skyeye in hand, he would be caught sooner or later. If it wasn’t for the fear of alarming the enemy and needing to control the Skyeye, Yue Mo himself would have turned back and chased Tianming.

”In terms of strength, Long Xing’s a bit stronger.” Thus, they had split into two teams that were both powerful and strategically sound.

”Capture Li Tianming and the Starmoon Guard Formation will be ours. Long Xing will have nowhere left to flee....” Thinking that, Tong Zhi and Qiu Yuan exchanged a glance.

”Let’s deploy our cosmic senses and wonders at the same time. Try latching onto his astralship!” Tong and Zhi shared a mutual understanding. They didn’t need words to communicate.

The wonderians and Qiu Yuans abruptly spun around, broke off from the main group, and slipped into the sea.

”You dare chase us?!” The three’s cosmic sense had already identified the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb.

From Tianming’s perspective, he saw ten rocky giants suddenly emerge from the sea, bearing down on the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. It was part of their wonders!

”They found me?” Tianming urgently evaded. The Profound Dragon Aegis activated while the Dark-Gold Dragonsword furiously swept forth and the Manicrest Dragonsource exploded. Tianming easily slipped out of the encirclement

”Trying to run?!” Roars of rage erupted from behind!

Tianming had taken a big risk letting them track him as part of his baiting plan. However, his actual plan had only intended to lure the wonderians. ”Damn! An extra specter showed up!” He quickly fled, wanting to split these away from the main group before any others from the Moonfiend Hunt might also join in.

Every one he pulled away was a win!

The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb performed better than the enemy had expected of a maniverse-class ship. Tianming’s smooth maneuvering, acceleration, and evasion fully demonstrated his skill as a pilot.

However, behind him, the rock-armored giants were still madly chasing! Then rock warhorses and elephants were added to their numbers.

After turning the ship, Tianming had successfully split the pursuers into two separate groups.

“Dammit! Might as well go for it. They probably can’t kill me anyway!” One more enemy was just that: one more. Back when Tianming was only a second-level overflower, he had taken on three at once!
