Beastmaster of the Ages

This was intolerable; there was no need to endure any longer.

”He’s over there!”

Lightning flickered in Lin Ran’s eyes as his gaze cut through the crowd, locating the white-haired young man.

”Kill!”

At the sight of their child’s murderer, rage boiled within them. The couple exploded into two massive, crackling lightning storms, ripping through everything in their path as they hurtled toward Tianming.

”Imperial Son, do you need any help?” Li Nianjiao asked anxiously after being locked in a fierce struggle with Nangong Zhao.

”Don’t worry. I have the skypole stars.” Tianming didn’t even glance at the two lightning storms, but turned to Li Nianjiao instead. ”Hurry up! And don’t forget to hit them hard.”

”Yes!” Li Nianjiao nodded excitedly.

With that, Tianming shot towards the two lightning storms, his expression cold. He spun around just as two cosmic relics tore towards his head. It was a sword and a blade wrapped in streams of chaotic lightning. In that instant, it was as if the heavens were being ripped to shreds.

BOOM!

The black and white skypole stars beside Tianming shook violently, forming a black and white shield that successfully parried the incoming blade and sword, launching the two lightning storms high into the sky.

Tianming himself remained motionless, his clothes untouched.

Looking up at Lin Ran and Liu Shuang grimacing faces, he smiled. ”Didn’t you have breakfast? Try again!”

”You must have a death wish!”

Unconvinced, the two charged again, unleashing a barrage of attacks in just a short time. Each strike hurtled towards Tianming like a coiling dragon of fire and lightning. The surrounding rocks crumbled to dust, but he remained utterly still and completely unscathed.

”Alright, stop struggling! You might as well pull out a containment cosmic relic. That’ll work better.” He joked, letting out a drawn-out yawn as he looked at the two of them.

The issue was, their cosmic relics were purely offensive.

Despite being surrounded by dozens of ghoul kings, Hai Mu noticed the commotion and fought to escape. ”Hold the line. I’ll use the Eight Desolation Stillwater Cauldron to trap him!” She yelled.

She pulled out a massive cosmic relic, a blue cauldron supported by eight gigantic legs, its surface a churning ocean of endless waves. Then, she flipped the Eight Desolation Stillwater Cauldron so it descended upon Tianming like a hollowed-out helical-class world. Lin Ran and Liu Shuang suddenly sprang into action, unleashing countless lightning bolts in every direction to form a dense electric network to trap Tianming.

In the blink of an eye, Tianming’s figure flickered and appeared on top of the cauldron. When he got close to Hai Mu, he chuckled. ”I’m standing right here, and you still can’t catch me?”

Hai Mu was stunned.

This was Meow Meow’s Thousandway Blitzrun, an ability she remembered Li Tianzi using. However, she was shocked to discover the imperial son possessed both his own unique skills, and the same abilities as his elder brother.

What was this boundless, all-encompassing power?

The colossal cauldron covered the ground, leveling the surrounding terrain for hundreds of millions of meters.

Soaring into the air, Lin Ran and Liu Shuang stared at Tianming with contorted expressions, No matter how much they fought against it, they were unable to escape the crushing realization of their own powerlessness.

They were clearly stronger than him, but they just couldn’t do anything to him!

Tianming glanced down. The outcome of this battle was inevitable. Delaying these three would only hasten the opponent’s defeat.

”I suppose you could be a threat if you captured and imprisoned me. Unfortunately for you, your skills are a bit lacking.” He grinned.

His words left Lin Ran, Liu Shuang, and Hai Mu so furious they could have spit blood, but they had no rebuttal. They couldn’t fight him or catch him. More importantly, Tianming was about to turn their forces into cosmic-god essences or even annihilate them completely.

What should they do?

Hai Mu finally conceded. ”Ignore him! Lead your forces out. The reinforcements will decide the battle! Nullity and Imperator Feng have blatantly disregarded the rules and slaughtered so many of our cosmic gods. They will pay for this, or Aquamarine will make them suffer a hundredfold!” She said to Lin Ran and Liu Shuang.

Although Lin Ran and Liu Shuang remained silent, they had also made a decision.

”Hold on!”

Just as they were about to leave, Tianming suddenly interjected, ”Did I say you could leave?”

Hai Mu sneered. ”Imperial Son, your grandparents are the only reason we can’t deal with you. It’s not because of you! Do you think you can make us stay?”

”That’s right! I’m keeping you here!”

Tianming gripped the Grand-Orient Sword in both hands and descended upon his opponent like a streak of golden lightning. He was well prepared, unleashing a variety of techniques at once–the grand lexicon wonder and the Grand-Orient Sword infused with the devastating combination of the decapath era godswords, chaos swordmaidens, and soul sword ki. Bai Ye started with the usual Phantasmic Bubbles.

Tianming’s layered assault consisting of the grand lexicon wonder and Phantasmic Bubbles, followed by Ying Huo and Meow Meow’s abilities and his own personal strength was guaranteed to temporarily immobilize any opponent, no matter how powerful they were.

At this moment, Tianming wielded the Grand-Orient Sword, striking down with an explosive force.

”Trinity Luxdragon!”

This was the second part of the Life-Death-Crush Dragons, the ultimate combined strike that originated from the flameyellow divinities. Fusing the powers of the Life, Death, and Crush Dragons into one, this move was to be unleashed with the Grand-Orient Sword.

In a flash, the sword seemed to split into three, snapping down from Tianming’s hand like a long whip. The violent sword ki condensed into three distinct forms: the Life Dragon that bloomed like a flower, the Death Dragon that surged like the dark sea, and the Crush Dragon in the center that encompassed the mountains and seas.

Three dragons merged into one. From one strike came three, unleashing mixed damage.

BOOM!

A powerful blast from the Crush Dragon instantly sent Hai Mu’s Eight Desolation Stillwater Cauldron flying. At the same time, the Life and Death Dragons struck her left and right shoulders, the sheer force of their assault splitting the eight-thousand-meter-tall cosmic god into three.

Hai Mu screamed in pain and exploded under Tianming’s sword!

Amid the brutality, Tianming turned around, bathed in Hai Mu’s blue middlekin astrons. He arched an eyebrow and smirked, the gleaming Grand-Orient Sword hanging casually from his shoulder. ”Do you get it now? You can’t touch me, but I can do whatever I want to you!”

This scene was a crushing blow to the other cosmic gods who were still holding on.

The imperial son had the arrogance and high-spirited swagger of a young man, not at all what one would expect of a hundred-thousand-year-old man. But if such a man became unstoppable and ran amok, he would become a major menace.
