Beastmaster of the Ages

Fights between cosmic gods caused huge commotions. Yuan Long could immediately tell that some were fighting based on the flashing humanoids in the distance. She and the others from her group arrived to see Tianming fighting Yumo Xiaoshuang.

They coldly watched the fight play out, but Yuan Long’s gaze wasn’t on Tianming. Instead, her eyes were completely affixed to Moran, filled with shock and awe. Her expression kept on shifting nonstop, and she wasn’t someone that was normally so emotive. Even when Yumo Xiaoyou contacted her on the transmission stone, her expression hadn’t changed in the slightest.

”Sister Yuan Long!” Qin Feng said, ”Trust me. We should help our friends! They are good people! We are from orbiter worlds all the same, but Yumo Xiaoyou is a specter who serves the devas of the Ninefold Hellstar. Once they bring the little beastballs out to show the rest, even more of them will come! There’ll be none left for the rest of us!”

Yuan Long quietly pondered without making a move. Calmly, she asked, ”Have you always known that they’re that powerful? Why didn’t you say so sooner? I would’ve taken them into our team long ago to establish a relationship of trust. The fact that you didn’t bring anything up till now shows that you didn’t fully open up to me and our alliance. Are you on our side or those three’s?”

”Sister Yuan Long, you misunderstand me! I knew they were capable, but not to that extent! But do trust me. They really are good people!” Qin Feng said urgently. He wanted desperately to live, after all.

Yuan Long didn’t answer him.

”Enough, Qin Feng,” said someone in the group.

”Yeah! You’re too obviously on their side. You’re making us distrust you.” The other geniuses in the Saturatia Orbiter Alliance began to isolate him.

”Fine! If you don’t want to help our friends, at least don’t interfere in the fight. Let’s wait for them to fight it out and pick up whatever remains. How about that?” Qin Feng suggested.

Yuan Long turned a cold eye to Qin Feng. ”Can’t you tell that these three are only taking action because Yumo Xiaoyou is trying to leave with the little beastballs? What if we do the same later and bring others from Saturatia-49 here? Wouldn’t they stop us too?”

”Umm....” Qin Feng was at a loss for words.

Yuan Long had made up her mind. Her gaze went fully cold as she turned toward Moran. ”Also, don’t you think something is horribly wrong about a third-level overflower who can control cosmic god essences to fight with cosmic god wonders and go toe to toe with a first-level cosmic god? Think about it. Don’t you remember that terrifying legend from Saturatia-49?”

Qin Feng’s mind began to work, but before he could speak, the other disciples gasped at the same time and said the same words. ”The reincarnation of Tian Jiu!”

Being smaller factions that essentially existed around wonderians all day, they understood them rather well and had heard of the legend of Tian Jiu many times. Even though the wonderians of the present day consider the honor of reunifying to become Tian Jiu a nightmare, there were still many old timers who believed the opposite.

Young wonderians always considered that a deeply fearful nightmare. Why would someone so young, who had whole lives ahead of them, want to be a small part of a greater whole?

Though Yuan Long had hesitated for a short moment, she made up her mind rather quickly. This would be her chance to distinguish herself. She took a deep breath. ”If I’m able to gain this merit, I and my clan will be able to rise....”

”Sister Yuan Long, do we go help the specters?” the others asked.

”Yes. Go!” Yuan Long nodded.

”Okay!” Apart from Qin Feng, the others from the Saturatia Orbiter Alliance were pumped to join the action. They decided to help Yumo Xiaoshuang and gang up on Tianming! The mysterious purple-masked man was of no value to them at all. Yet, right as they turned their backs on Yuan Long, she suddenly shuddered.

All of a sudden, she manifested her cosmic god totems, humanoid celestial totems with dragon heads called sourcesky nihildragons, all nine of them. They immediately backstabbed the disciples of the alliance!

”Sister Yuan Long....” The geniuses were completely stupefied by the sudden betrayal. It only took an instant for their overflower bodies to be turned into nothing. Such was the might of cosmic gods.

”Apologies! If you hadn’t answered my question with Tian Jiu’s reincarnation, perhaps I might’ve let you live,” Yuan Long coldly said. However, every single one of those disciples had said that very thing. As for the young specters from the Ninefold Hellstar, they were quite far away and didn’t hear anything about that.

”Yuan Long, are you trying to monopolize all the merit for yourself?!” Qin Feng had never dreamed that his nice and gentle big sister could be so savage!

”You shall die too!” Yuan Long hadn’t intended to spare him at all. She swung her imperial-class longsword toward Qin Feng’s head, eviscerating him completely. He didn’t even stand a chance, though that did free up one of Bai Ye’s infant souls. The bad news, however, was that Tianming would no longer be able to use Qin Feng’s ship to travel back to the Sun, not that he would’ve been able to save him in the first place. Tianming had noticed Yuan Long long ago and had a feeling that she would interfere, though he didn’t expect her to kill everyone in her party.

Yumo Xiaoyou watched Yuan Long approach, still suppressed by the divine wonders. ”Kill that fellow in the purple mist!”

After Yuan Long dealt with Qin Feng and the rest, she wouldn’t have to worry about them making a report about Tian Jiu’s reincarnation to those outside. She charged mercilessly toward Tianming, though her actual target was Moran, not that she would mind if the two wore each other out a bit more before she took part properly.

I’ll ’save’ Yumo Xiaoshuang. Then, I’ll be able to corner Yumo Xiaoyou. She directed her full killing intent onto Tianming. There was no way she would allow Tianming to kill Yumo Xiaoshuang. Her blue silhouette oppressively closed the distance with Tianming.
