Beastmaster of the Ages

No one had expected Imperator Lan to be defeated so cleanly.

“This woman is abnormal! If this keeps up, Li Tianming won’t even need to show himself!” Imperator Lan was fleeing across the battlefield in sheer panic.

Countless aquarmars sacrificed their lives, desperately trying to block Zi Zhen from catching up.

In the distance, Imperator Zhu’s eyes went wide. “What the hell? This woman is probably even more powerful than Li Tianming!”

Zi Zhen had previously failed to take down Imperator Tu. Who could have imagined that just ten days later, she would brutally crush Imperator Lan? It meant the enemy had gained another imperator-level powerhouse, one who could sweep the battlefield with impunity.

The balance of the war would begin to tilt starting from the top levels, and eventually, they would lose despite their numerical superiority.

“This is trouble.” Prince Liehun and his wife were leading their forces in an assault against the other vermilion bird divinities. The enemy’s morale had soared, and they began to push Prince Liehun’s forces back.

“How can she be that strong?” Prince Liehun’s wife was deathly pale as she watched Zi Zhen’s advance.

Zi Zhen’s appearance had thrown a massive variable into a battle that should have had a predetermined result.

The current situation was indeed unfavorable for Prince Liehun. Even so, he did not regret it. The Adjudicator was the strongest. The sky plunderers could flail around all they want, but the Adjudicator was absolute.

All that needed to be seen was what trump card the Adjudicator would play.

“How exhilarating!” Sage Xing was locked in fierce combat with Cang Shanyuan and the others.

The sight of Imperator Lan fleeing made him burst out in laughter. “Cang Shanyuan! Look, go save the ball!”

Cang Shanyuan and the other Aquamarine powerhouses were struck dumb.

Sage Xing took advantage of their distraction to injure Cang Shanyuan.

Many similar scenes played out across Vermilion Bird.

However, it was this very moment a massive crimson sphere, like a coagulation of countless streams of blood, suddenly appeared in the skies. It resembled a blood cocoon, with eight crimson vortices continuously rotating around it. Within the cocoon, an indistinct human silhouette flickered.

The Adjudicator had shown himself!

“The Adjudicator! The Adjudicator cometh!”

“As expected, the Adjudicator’s support is our greatest advantage!”

“The Adjudicator coming here means his true target was Tianming all along, not Imperator Skyplunder, doesn’t it?”

The allied forces, who had just fallen into despair, immediately rallied once more. They all stared fervently at the blood cocoon of the Adjudicator in the sky.

It was an existence exuding overwhelming dread, wielding power that utterly eclipsed everyone present. As the eight crimson vortices rotated, it was as if a blood-red giant hand held the entire battlefield.

Now inspired, the Torch Dragon army surged forward with killing intent, charging fearlessly at their enemies.

“You are... of the Violetblood race?” The Adjudicator’s eight eye-like crimson vortices focused entirely on Zi Zhen, revealing a trace of shock. A young man’s voice rang out, chillingly cold. “How could you enter the body of the God-Emperor?”

Zi Zhen lifted her head to look at the massive blood cocoon, her expression indifferent. She gave no reply.

“Very well. As long as you’ve appeared, Li Tianming will definitely come.”

The next moment, the eight crimson vortices erupted with endless blood-colored shadows, obscuring the skies over the entire starcage.

The Adjudicator directly attacked Zi Zhen, unleashing terrifying power that dyed the entire starcage blood-red. This was power far beyond the imperator level.

Endless crimson danced between heaven and earth, causing both friend and foe alike to feel an overwhelming pressure. Even Imperator Cheng, Imperator Zhu, and Imperator Lan, felt pressure beyond imagination.

This was the Adjudicator.

“The Adjudicator has taken action!”

“This power is too terrifying. Even imperatores can’t compare!”

For unfathomably long, the imperatores had defined the summit. The Adjudicator had overturned that. Unimaginable reverence filled their gazes, and many dropped to their knees on the spot, worshipping him.

The Vermilion Bird warriors, in particular, felt a crushing sense of despair. Such a terrifying Adjudicator was enough to strip any confidence to continue resisting.
