Beastmaster of the Ages

However, Huang Qi’s vitality was absurdly tenacious. Zi Zhen had been battering her nonstop, but Huang Qi repaired herself at every moment. Otherwise, Huang Qi would have long since been torn apart.

Despite the two being tangled together in a pool of blood, and Huang Qi still sneered. “Run out of tricks already? That combat power of yours, gained by forcibly igniting your potential, has its limits. When the time comes, you’ll die on your own!”

“And after you’re dead, I’ll keep devouring that kid’s delicious body. The last laugh will still be mine!

“Sure, he brought you along for the ride as you’re useful. Too bad you ran into me, hahaha...” Even in her current state. Huang Qi could still laugh with irksome smug satisfaction.

Countless undying aeternals erupted into frenzied celebration and cheers. “Empress! Empress!”

Amid the deafening roars, Tianming suddenly broke through the encirclement of undying aeternals and appeared before Huang Qi and Zi Zhen!

Tianming immediately took in that the nine pupils on Zi Zhen’s face were still dripping blood, and she was still savagely assaulting Huang Qi. Yet her gaze was no longer as ferocious as at the beginning, and her movements were slowing down.

Huang Qi, by contrast, looked increasingly at ease.

“Tianming...” The moment Zi Zhen saw him, she seemed momentarily dazed. The tension in her heart lightened, and her condition worsened.

Though brutal by nature, the look in her eyes at this moment stirred pity in Tianming’s heart... The fact that she had raged like this for him already explained everything.

“Trust me!” Tianming suddenly shouted, his voice resounding. “Hold on a little longer, and we will win!”

Those words were like a bowl of invigorating tonic to the exhausted Zi Zhen. She roared furiously, her energy rising once more, as the stench of slaughter swept across the Sea of Aeternity!

It worked so well precisely because she believed in Tianming. With mutual trust, communication became simple.

She once again crushed Huang Qi into a lump of flesh, leaving only a shattered bee-head exposed.

“Getting some last flirting in? How touching,” Huang Qi laughed instead of panicking. The contempt in her blood-red compound eyes was unmistakable.

Seeing that gaze only fueled Tianming’s anger.

He did not want to say a single word to Huang Qi. Instead, he said to Zi Zhen, “Suppress her to the maximum. Don’t let her move!”

“Alright!” Zi Zhen roared again, her power surging even more violently.

At that very instant, Tianming reached Huang Qi. Just as she blinked her two crimson compound eyes, a white chain suddenly shot out from Tianming’s brain, formed from the infant souls of Bai Ye, Bai Ling, and Bai Feng. Like a venomous serpent, it stabbed straight into Huang Qi’s bee-headed skull!

Her compound eyes froze for a moment, then her “expression” changed drastically. A heart-rending scream erupted from her as her body accelerated its regeneration and struggled frantically!

“Get her!” Tianming knew all too well how important it would be if even one of these nine Aeternal Beings could become a breakthrough for him!

He himself cultivated the Celestial Sourcepath Codex. Though his soul power was weaker than the three’s, it still surged forward to support them. At the same time, he summoned his lifebound beast to smash apart the undying aeternals rushing in to rescue Huang Qi.

Hearing Huang Qi’s scream, the undying aeternals grew frantic. One after another, they flushed red and let out piercing shrieks that formed tearing waves of sound.

The pressure on Tianming was immense!

“Speed it up!” As he urged, both Zi Zhen and Huang Qi screamed simultaneously.

Zi Zhen screamed because she was pushing her power to an even greater extreme, while Huang Qi screamed because her body and soul were suffering dual suppression. Once her soul was restrained, the efficiency of her physical regeneration dropped sharply as well. As a result, she was clearly overwhelmed.

That shackle had now bound Huang Qi’s soul thousands upon thousands of times, tightening and branding itself upon her,

“Keep up the pressure on her body!” Bai Ye cried out tremblingly, clearly under heavy strain as well.

In truth, it didn’t even need to say so. Zi Zhen was already burning herself completely. Her roar was completely drowning out Huang Qi’s scream, so much so that one might almost think Zi Zhen herself was the one being suppressed.

“Such a loud voice...” Tianming felt both relieved and a little embarrassed. This time, he had truly witnessed Zi Zhen’s sheer brutality. It seemed he had even more reason never to abandon her. After all, provoking her ninehalls fury was not something he wanted to experience.

“Li Tianming!!” Huang Qi seemed to sense something. Her voice turned shrill as she shouted, “Stop this, I’ll let you go! This woman is almost finished. If this drags on, she will definitely die here. If you still like her, leave her a way out!”

Tianming was just about to say, “Shut up,” when Zi Zhen roared right beside Huang Qi’s ear, “A filthy bug like you can die ten thousand times and I still won’t die! Get down for me!”

Under that furious roar, Huang Qi’s head exploded once more into a spray of blood, and the entangled soul was laid bare.

Tianming could not help but wipe sweat from his brow...

Huang Qi continued to curse and scream. Then, apparently, her mentality finally collapsed, and she began to beg for mercy!

“Li Tianming, don’t...” The moment her sobbing tone emerged, the hearts of the undying aeternals shattered.

“Now you finally know fear? Damn it, you filthy bug. Just wait, I’ll torture you ten thousand times. You’re completely finished.” At long last, the vicious resentment pent up in Tianming’s chest was finally vented!
