Beastmaster of the Ages

”She didn’t just die, did she?” The principal grew uneasy. After all, Sixth’s vita had instructed him to capture the women, not kill them.

Just as the worry struck him, a violent violet storm suddenly tore into the crowd of orderly cosmic gods! First- and second-level cosmic gods exploded in droves as purple divine ability after divine ability erupted. Orderlies wouldn’t die from their bodies being shredded, but they were severely weakened.

So powerful? And she can even resist soul attacks? The principal trembled and quickly barked, “Attack at full force!” After giving the command, he joined the battlefield himself. A fifth-level cosmic god had joined in the chase!

”Attack!” Thousands of cosmic gods launched soul attacks in successive waves. Even many sixth- or seventh-level cosmic gods wouldn’t be able to survive their wave tactics.

But what gave the principal a headache was that even his own attacks barely left a mark on Zi Zhen, aside from making her even more savage.

In fact, her seventh hall eye even seemed to be starting to awaken.

”What kind of monster is she...?” The principal shuddered. He realized now that trying to quickly subdue Zi Zhen would be practically impossible. We’ll have to wear her down slowly, he grimly thought, then glanced toward the other formation. Mu Sheng should be able to easily capture that half-blood.... She shouldn’t be too capable....

But just then, agonized screams answered his musings.

”What’s going on?!” His eyes widened in shock.

Over a hundred wonders had appeared there. They were stacked layer upon layer, completely sealing off the teleportation formation. A tall, elegant woman floated above the array like a goddess looking down. Not even the wonders of a thousand wonderians could penetrate the wonders.

”They never meant to escape—they’re here to block us?!” The principal found it hard to believe.

”Principal, how does she have so many cosmic god-level wonders? That isn’t normal. The wonderians nurture their wonder embryos from young, and most people only refine one!”

One of the orderlies asked, shocked by the display.

”I don’t know....” The principal fell into deep worry. He finally understood why the Progenitor wanted the two women taken alive. They were abnormal beyond reason! He could even sense that the two women were subtly competing with each other. A single woman blocking thousands? What gave those two girls the courage to do that?

The wonderians were just as shocked.

Their leader was an elder named Mu Sheng. The husband and wife had fused into one body while they commanded over a thousand of their brethren to use their wonders to assault Moran, but their brain couldn’t process the outcome. Thousands of wonders pressed down like mountains, yet the woman within the formation remained calm and unmoved, her resolve unyielding.

Moran wouldn’t be shaken, especially since she was trying to outshine Zi Zhen!

”Charge in and kill her!” Mu Sheng drew twin swords, using their wonders to pave the way. They forced their way in, and behind them, a dozen third-level cosmic gods followed.

Mu Sheng themself was a fourth-level cosmic god, equal in level to Moran, but they had thirty third-level cosmic gods backing them up!

”Mu Sheng, where’d she get all her wonders?!” Many wonderians couldn’t believe their eyes.

”No idea! Capture her and we’ll find out!” Mu Sheng split into two and the twin bodies shattered Moran’s wonders to reach her. An imperial-class artifact was thrust at Moran’s throat.

Moran coldly glanced at them as she summoned a pair of pink and white longswords.

”Cosmic relics!” Mu Sheng’s face turned pale with shock. A half-blood wonderian with cosmic relics?! How was that possible?

Terrified, he immediately tried to retreat!

But in the next instant, the terrifying celestial duty forbidden ocean wonder and three lifetimes celestial cycle wonder burst forth from Moran. A golden sea of stars trapped Mu Sheng, then a massive millstone appeared above his head.

His pupils shrank in disbelief. “Trilife Affection and those wonders... they belong to Shiming Shengshi! How do you have them?!”

Moran ignored him. Her cosmic relics fell as fast as lightning, cleaving through the elder couple’s wonders.

”Tian Jiu!!” Mu Sheng let out a soul-rending scream as husband and wife were split apart on the spot by Moran!

As their last words echoed in the ears of the wonderians, the remaining cosmic gods all lowered their weapons and their wonders stilled. They blankly stared at Moran, as if they had forgotten how to breathe.

”Tian Jiu....” A third of the wonderians subconsciously dropped to their knees, gazing at the living legend with pure terror in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Tianming felt completely at ease when Bai Ling reported on their situation. ”They know what to do. They went straight to lock down the formations.”

The two women were excellent and full of promise. With them on his side, his confidence soared. ”Sixth’s vita.... No matter how well you speak, you’re still cunning and treacherous. Trying to kidnap my women too? How shameless.” Tianming looked ahead and found that he was in none other than the Sea of Order! Once, he had entered it with his caelum. But now he was there with his physical body.

It was completely different when he saw it with his own eyes. It had felt illusory when his caelum was there, but now the storms around him felt as real as anything.

”Since you’ve come, don’t even think about leaving.” Behind him, Sixth’s vita, in Tianming’s own form, coldly smiled and snapped its fingers.

”Hmm?” Tianming looked past it and saw a massive, glowing figure emerging from the depths of the storm

”Oh?” When it fully appeared before him, he realized it was a hundreds-of-meters-tall humanoid with a bee’s head.
