Beastmaster of the Ages

”What did you say?” Yue Xingwang asked her daughter blankly.

”I allied up with the person who ushered in the new era! Someone who can replace the evil rule of the Eightpart Pantheons!” That was the conclusion she had of Tianming after reasoning about it.

”Is a rogue like that all it took to drive you insane?! Do you know what the Eightpart Pantheons stand for?” Yue Xingwang simply couldn’t believe her ears. The Ninefold Hellstar was something like the frontier of the Eightpart Pantheons. A minor rebellion in a frontier like that didn’t spell the end of the Eightpart Pantheons! That was just nonsense from a madwoman’s mouth! She looked deeply at her daughter and didn’t have any intention of saving her from her own folly.

”You’re a little traitor who’s always trying to be contrarian. I thought that you would get better after raising you, but I didn’t think that you were better off not being born....” Yue Xingwang sighed deeply and removed the defensive formation of the city to escape. She had initially come with a few powerful subordinates because she thought they had a chance to hold Tianming back, but it seemed futile.

”Let’s go!” Right as Yue Xingwang said that, a blinding purple body appeared before them. Tianming’s lifebound beasts weren’t around, but with his totems and divine wonder, he wasn’t to be casually messed with.

”Who in the world are you?!” Yue Xingwang didn’t panic and instead glared at Tianming in a hostile manner with her subordinates.

”Is that important?” Tianming asked as he split his sword in two.

”Since you hate my people so much, you must be one of those flameyellow descendants just like the ones from the Ancestral Flameyellow Ruins. So you were the ones messing around in there and out here too. Your true purpose is revenge, right?”

”It’s not that hard to guess, huh?” Tianming nodded.

Yue Xingwang suddenly laughed with a savage look on her face. ”Then, you should know better than I do that there are countless other flameyellow descendants in the many fortuna-class worlds in the Eightpart Pantheons! In peacetime, they’re slaves. In wartime, they’re forced conscripts. Aren’t you afraid that your actions will doom them?”

”Ah, finally, the oldest trick in the book makes an appearance once more. I thought you people became merciful all of a sudden when you stopped pulling that for a while.” Initially, Tianming had been thought to be one of the Primordial Sands’ people. However, the changes in the ruins and his public use of lifebound beasts made that hard to hide. Eventually, the Eightpart Pantheons labeled him as a flameyellow descendant. At this point, wearing the mask was no longer that important.

”And why are you acting with such abandon when you know about that weakness of yours?” Yue Xingwang and the other devas smiled. They were used to this way of doing things.

”Don’t you have weaknesses? The Ninefold Hellstar is a maniverse-class world, but that doesn’t stop me from killing you all.”

”Are you for real? You’re not joking about wanting to make an enemy out of the Eightpart Pantheons, are you?”

”All I’m doing is taking back what’s ours.” He already said what he wanted, and his beasts were exposed. There would be nothing left to fear. Not to mention, the incidents in the Ancient Flameyellow Ruins attracted the attention of the Eightpart Pantheons, so there was no better time to strike!

Tianming removed his mask before the devas and showed himself, white hair and robes fluttering and black-gold eyes shining. His two swords seemed to pierce the skies. ”Tell the Eightpart Pantheons that my name is Li Tianming!”

His announcement shook the entire city! It was an important proclamation that every flameyellow descendant connected to him also heard so loudly that it almost seemed like they were deafened! Before this moment, they had thought that Tianming was a secret that they didn’t dare to tell others. They didn’t even dare to mention the fading heavenly shackles, but things had changed.

Every single flameyellow descendant could bravely tell their family and friends everything this new hope of theirs had brought. Though a single person could only spread the news so much, a tenth of all flameyellow descendants was nothing to scoff at!

”It has begun....” Even Tianming didn’t expect that the simple act of removing his mask would have such a huge effect. His omnisentient threads began to grow in number!

”Everyone!” He almost wanted to tear up. Announcing his identity meant that the Eightpart Pantheons would begin to take notice of the flameyellow descendants as a united faction, thus exposing them to danger. It would be like how they were treated in the Midsky Tristars!

However, it also meant that Tianming’s omnisentient threads would skyrocket in number and remove the heavenly shackles. He would be able to resonate with them in an infinitely greater capacity! In other words, he had told everyone else that he was going to declare war against the Eightpart Pantheons! Even if the enemy found it laughable, Tianming and his subjects took it seriously. This was their faith!

”What....” Yue Xingwang and a few other cosmic gods thousands of meters in height stared at the youth, stupefied. The threat that came from him seemed to double in mere moments!

”Let’s go!” Right as she said that, two swords pierced her chest. The tiny person before her gave the swords a sweep, causing her body to explode like glass.

”Die!” Tianming’s roar shook the entire world. His omnisentient threads had almost reached twenty percent of the flameyellow descendants in the Upper Star Ruin and were still growing! Most importantly, the twenty percent had already included the most core subjects, which, like Long Xing, were either quasi or full cosmic gods. They were like leaders of their respective worlds, countless Long Xings!

”Fight your way out of the cities and blend into the wilderness to await battle!” This was something Tianming had done before in Starmoon Haven, but now done on a scale of the entire Upper Star Ruin! He had chosen this to be the time because the Eightpart Pantheons was occupied by the Ancient Flameyellow Ruins and wouldn’t be prepared for an uprising, especially not from flameyellow descendants who were united in mind and purpose.

The cities in the many fortuna-class worlds began to revolt without any warning at all. Their enemies had suddenly discovered that the slaves were much stronger than before, as if their heavenly shackles no longer applied. There were also far more cosmic gods among them. Most fortuna-class worlds only had one or two!

”The flameyellow descendants from fortuna-class worlds are the toughest to help. The flameyellow voidkin will soon kill off the Ten Desolate Army. We have to save ourselves before the Eightpart Pantheons turn their ire fully on us! We’ll ensure that our grandchildren find a path to survival! Let’s kill all we can!”

They would make productive use of rage and kill their foes. Tianming took a deep breath as he prepared to fight the battle by everyone’s side.
