Beastmaster of the Ages

As the Adjudicator’s laughter spread across the battlefield, the blood cocoon grew ever more crimson, dying the world with red light.

Like eight eyes, the eight vortexes on the blood cocoon were all fixed on Tianming. The Adjudicator made a relieved laugh, because the person he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

But after laughing, he turned cold once more. His sinister voice echoed throughout the battlefield. “Li Tianming, look at the Vermilion Bird Star Prison. Do you know who caused all this death and disrupted the entire Realm of Chaos? It was all you!

“You are the sinner of this world!”

One accusation after another was pinned onto Tianming by the Adjudicator, his proclamation of ‘justice.’ He gave Tianming no chance to refute him.

His gaze drifted over Tianming, Zi Zhen, Imperator Cheng, and the others, carrying a hint of mockery. “Li Tianming, perhaps you believe that with your numerical advantage, you can fight me to the death? Alas, you have underestimated my determination to seize you, the source of all sin, and restore peace!”

Behind the Adjudicator’s crimson blood cocoon, four colossal figures stepped forward, two on each side of him. It was the four female imperatores of Yueling!

“How could it be them?” Even Tianming’s expression changed, not having expected the Adjudicator to set up such an unexpected trap.

“All four of them came?” Zi Zhen’s face darkened instantly. They had been prepared to besiege the Adjudicator and fight to the death. With Tianming, Zi Zhen, Imperator Cheng together, they might still have stood a chance even if the Adjudicator was stronger than imperatores.

To completely annihilate Tianming, he had secretly transferred all four Yueling imperatores to Vermilion Bird!

“The Adjudicator made a gamble,” Sage Chen said gravely.

Sage Xing looked at the situation and sighed with a complicated expression. “And obviously, he won it. He knew that Tianming’s personality would never allow him to refrain from coming to help... so he gathered all his forces here.”

“I expected the four of them to stir trouble in Nullity instead...” Imperator Cheng said grimly.

Everyone on Tianming’s side felt their spirits plunge. The barely balanced combat power was broken, returning to a one-sided situation.

Imperator Long, dressed in a black-and-gold imperial dragon robe, looked over coldly and majestically. “Didn’t expect this, did you, Li Tianming? Then again, how could your shallow tricks possibly compare to Lord Adjudicator? Today, everything ends.”

Her words were laced with murder.

Beside her, Imperator Tu, clad in a red dress, had once frequently cast flirtatious glances at Tianming. But today, only cold indifference remained.

Even Imperator Tong Tian, the round-faced, somewhat cute one, looked toward Tianming with nothing but killing intent.

Everything had been laid bare. This was the true selves of the imperatores of Yueling, cold and ruthless.

They all wanted Tianming dead. Tianming had stacked up multiple grudges, from the countless geniuses of the army he had cost them, to Yueling Hong who had died at the Violetmoon Fortress. There could be no coexistence with Li Tianming.

The eldest sister, Emperor Ji, stood draped in a deep blue gown that accentuated her graceful figure. Her words dripped with mockery. “Li Tianming, in your arrogance, did you really think of us as mere concubines? Today, I’d like to see what other tricks you still have!”

Clearly, in her eyes, this arrangement had Tianming completely trapped. Their side had five imperatores plus the Adjudicator!

As for Tianming’s side, at the imperator level, there were only Tianming himself, Zi Zhen, and Imperator Cheng.

Once the battle began, they would be completely suppressed. Even a single Adjudicator was already difficult for them to deal with, and the other imperatores were just icing on the cake.

“Tianming, no matter the situation, I will always be with you.” Despite the mounting sense of despair, Jiang Qingluan didn’t retreat even half a step. She stood beside Tianming, her beautiful eyes shining with resolve.

That was her determination... Even if it meant death, she would die together with Tianming!

“Heh.” Seeing this, Imperator Long sneered disdainfully. “Li Tianming, I didn’t expect there would be a woman willing to be buried with you. Looks like you won’t be lonely on your road to the underworld!”

Imperator Tu laughed softly and looked Jiang Qingluan up and down. “That red dress is quite festive. It suits the occasion perfectly.”

As their words fell, murderous intent surged and enveloped the entire battlefield. The four women’s murderous gazes all locked onto Tianming and his group, while the Adjudicator’s divine might suffocated everyone.

After a brief silence—

Wave after wave of cheers erupted!

“Kill them all! Avenge Imperator Lan!”

“The Adjudicator truly is unfathomable. Everything was in the palms of hands!”

So what if there were trillions of ghouls? Before the power of the Adjudicator and the imperatores, those ghouls were utterly useless. Once Tianming died, they would naturally collapse as well, closing the curtains on this grand war...
