Beastmaster of the Ages

”Run, quick!” Uncle Tian roared as he tore tens of millions of ghouls to shreds. However, it was pointless. The main purpose of the ghoul army was to stop the other cosmic gods from interfering. They still wouldn’t be able to escape so long as the undying aeternals were around, and Tianming only had one true target.

”Where are you rushing off to?” Tianming said, appearing in a flash of lightning as white as his hair in front of the Ninefirm imperial son who was rising towards the skies. With all the omnisentient threads in the Upper Star Ruin connected to him, he seemed incredibly menacing even if he was not half the imperial son’s height.

”You...” The Ninefirm imperial son furrowed his brow. He wasn’t concerned about Tianming’s combat power. Rather, he felt really bad about letting him control the pace of everything that was unfolding. Being put in such a passive position made him feel rather distraught. ”Li Tianming, let the Starfall Pantheon negotiate with you.”

”Negotiate your ass! Go!” Tianming’s skypole stars were still effective. Coupled with the crazy omnisentient power that poured into him, he had been waiting to fight for a long time. He descended towards the imperial son rapidly.

Defeating him is the only way! He’s confident enough that he didn’t have those bugs come to help. The Ninefirm imperial son wasn’t that scared about fighting Tianming one-on-one. He grit his teeth and immediately began to adopt his cosmic-constellation form, turning his body into a humanoid galaxy of brilliant colors. His cosmic constellation was the Ninebright Skypillar Constellation! It was a pillar-shaped galaxy with nine layers, each one of a different color made up of stars only consisting of that specific color.

”Cosmic constellation, huh? Get him anyway!” Tianming roared.

”Let’s go!” The lifebound beasts that shared in the omnisentient power were itching to enjoy the fight in their most powerful state. Ying Huo, Meow Meow, Lan Huang and Xian Xian popped out of Tianming’s body. The phoenix, thunder fiend, twin-headed dragon and dryad unleashed their unparalleled abilities against the Ninefirm imperial son. Individually, the attacks didn’t seem to matter to the fifty-thousand-meter-tall figure, but together they packed quite the punch!

Ying Huo’s Sundering Cage struck the center of the Ninebright Skypillar Constellation, countless feathers breaking through defenses with ease. Meow Meow’s Genesis Scourge exploded the flanks of the pillars before turning into many bolts of lightning snakes that charged inside the pillar, triggering chain explosions galore. Xian Xian’s Grand Dao Dharma Lotus emitted a radiance that touched every cosmic god in the vicinity and weakened them considerably. Lan Huang’s Myriadkui Ascension struck the spot Ying Huo’s ability had hit, digging even deeper!

The Ninefirm imperial son wasn’t able to react at all to the abilities. His constellation immediately collapsed as he returned to his previous cosmic-god form, shocked speechless.

”Wanna try transforming again?” Tianming asked as he joined his lifebound beasts, this time wielding his Grand-Orient Sword.

The imperial son seemed extremely troubled at the sight of the sword. ”Your totems are truly pitiful, for them to have to be slaves to a crude weapon.”

Tianming laughed. ”Thanks for the reminder. I came here today to solve that problem, you see. However, I’m curious too. How much better off are your totems?”

The Ninefirm imperial son was well aware that everyone there was completely held up by Tianming’s forces. The other twenty-six primocosmic gods were not able to disengage from their opponents at all, nor were the cosmic gods outside the ghoul sphere. There was no escape for the Ninefirm imperial son, so all he could do was fight!

A nine-colored bane-ring glowed near the center of his chest. Then, tall spiritual humanoid giants near a million meters tall manifested. There were nine of them, one for each color and representing a type of totem ki!

Tianming looked at the towering giants and felt a cosmic awe coming from their sheer size. ”What are these totems called?”

”Nine firmament sovereigns! They’re the chief ancestor of all totems!” said the imperial son proudly.

”Sovereigns, huh? I wonder what’s so amazing about them that they got such a title.”

”You’re far too ignorant for your own good.”

”Fine. Show your simulacra too.”

The Ninefirm imperial son humphed before using the simulacra, transforming his totems ninety-seven times. At the very end, a tenth vital origin totem appeared, while the former nine fused together into a nine-colored giant of 3.33 million meters in height.

”Die!” The massive totem came smashing towards Tianming, making the same hand-waving motion that the Ninefirm imperial son made.

”It’s clear that you have a weapon of your own. You’re just afraid that I’ll take it from you.” Tianming smirked. ”It doesn’t matter. Destroying you will get me the weapon all the same!”

A totem with a 97-fold simulacrum was indeed strong. However, Tianming had all three parts of Sixth with him and they were totem killers, especially after being charged with the soul power from all the flameyellow descendants. Tianming didn’t even make a single move. ”It’s up to you two!”

What he really meant was four. First, Yin Chen was much higher up in altitude and it used Shining Lucky Star, charging rapidly downwards as a ball of light and smashing into the Ninefirm imperial son! Then, the three parts of Sixth emerged from Tianming’s brain, each using a different soul ability.

Bai Ye’s ability was a wave of soul power, the strengthened version of Phantasmic Bubbles. Bai Ling used Sword of Silent Return. Sixth’s vita opened its mouth and unleashed Venus Windstorm! All those abilities combined utterly crushed the spiritform of the totems and caused them to crumble!

”Ugggh!” The Ninefirm imperial son was at a complete loss as his body was ripped apart by Yin Chen.
