Beastmaster of the Ages

This golden star seemed to have existed here since time immemorial, untouched by time.

Only the gray-pink prison from the Ancestral World had loosened significantly compared to the last visit, and the golden starlight shone far more brilliantly than before.

“Ling’er, I’m here to visit.” Tianming gazed at the golden star with deep emotions, its golden radiance seeming to light up his heart.

His hand reached out as if he could feel her hair and skin, while the sweet and tender moments from their past replayed in his mind.

“A lot has happened lately, but without you by my side, I always feel like something is missing...” Tianming was just about to launch into more corny sweet talk when Xian Xian and Ji Ji preempted him by bolting mid-sentence.

“Hey, it was just one line!” Tianming complained.

“One sentence is worth a thousand words. I beg you, please stop,” Xian Xian pleaded tearfully.

“That won’t do. Even a day apart makes reunion sweeter, and it’s been so long!”

Tianming turned back. The golden starlight had grown brighter than ever before, even on the verge of breaking through the gray-pink prison.

“I know you’re trying, Ling’er. I may not be here physically, but my heart will always stay with you.”

The golden light unfurled into luminous veils that wrapped around Tianming, showing she had achieved finer control over her power. The light seemed to connect their souls, transmitting a faint tremble.

The golden star also pulsed like a frantic heartbeat. “Soon... soon...”

“It’s the final stage.” Tianming’s own heartbeat quickened. Feiling was likely making her final push to break free from her prison!

Soon, her strength of will would be rewarded with the light of dawn. It was impossible to imagine how she had endured all these years.

Tianming could feel the strength of Feiling’s feelings, and how he was her everything. That snow, that night, had become an indelible memory in both of them...

Tianming kept talking. He was dyed gold, as though the golden star wished to embrace him, yet could never quite do so.

Watching this scene, Xian Xian and Ji Ji grew tense and anxious.

“When you come out, we’ll hug for ten years without ever parting!” Tianming said.

The golden star made its displeasure known by striking his chest with a soft burst of golden light.

“I understand! It’s not enough. A hundred years! If that’s not enough, then a thousand...”

Jiang Feiling couldn’t take it anymore and knocked him flying once again.

Tianming didn’t mind at all, instead being reassured by her good condition.

“Ling’er, let’s promise to both stay safe no matter what. Just focus on yourself. I’ll bring this universe back to peace and tranquility. I’ll keep everyone safe...” Tianming gazed deeply at the golden star, seeming to see a breathtakingly beautiful face looking back at him.

Now, aside from the Eightpart Pantheons, the greatest obstacle left were those Aeternal Beings.

“Imperatores can hardly improve any further, but I’m different! I’m not even a primocosmic god yet!” Tianming gave one last reluctant glance before he returned to the Imperial Star.

***

Tianming’s return sent the Primordial Sands as well as all the flameyellow divinities across the entire Upper Star Ruin into jubilant celebration.

In the blink of an eye, the Galactic Emperor had created another miracle and could now cross blades with imperatores. It left countless people in awe, and ignited hope of finally completely defeating the Eightpart Pantheons!

However, the final battle ahead would be unimaginably brutal and stain the galaxy with blood!

Everyone was fighting with giving their all, for the sake of themselves, their people, and for this universe!

The stronger they became, the stronger their emperor would be. Everyone could contribute their share of strength for what was coming.

Within wonderian territory, a desolate maniverse-class world bore a mountain tens of billions of meters tall. Fifty ink-green-haired beauties stood atop it, absorbing and refining power.

Each of them was a perfect creation in existence, possessing flawless countenances, fair skin, long legs, slender waists, and exquisite, alluring curves. Together, it was enough to drive anyone mad.

They were Tian Jiu, the wonderians’ progenitor who had cast them into fear and chaos!

This world had not always been desolate. It had once been thriving and prosperous, but Tian Jiu’s arrival had plunged it into deathly silence. No wonderian had successfully escaped, all turned into part of her power.

Those fifty beauties were each one hundred thousand meters tall, forming a force of fifty imperatores!

Suddenly, white sword-light flashed across the sky.

A silver vortex appeared, forming a torrent that converged into a cold, silver, liquid-like woman. Shen Wu approached coldly, clutching a beating heart that was snow-white and exquisitely beautiful.

All fifty beauties frowned simultaneously as an intense pain emanated from that heart. It was sharp and all-consuming, tugging at their entire beings.
