Beastmaster of the Ages

Shen Wu murmured softly, “This is the true Tian Jiu’s heart. I didn’t expect it to be connected to you, the false Tian Jiu.”

She looked at the fifty peerless beauties with a cold and merciless expression.

“Shen Wu, what are you trying to do this time?” All fifty beauties spoke in perfect unison. Their voices were as melodious as celestial music, yet glacially cold.

They resembled the male and female pairs of wonderians, except they were fifty fused into one, the most terrifying existence in the race’s history...

“There’s something you need to do for me. Capture someone and bring them to Wondrium Imperius,” Shen Wu said indifferently.

“Watch yourself. We’re not your puppets,” the fifty sisters replied coldly.

“Refusal has consequences.” Shen Wu sneered, raising the beating heart.

Fifty pairs of beautiful eyes fixed on it with deep fear. They had long experienced the piercing agony, enough to make them wish for death, that the heart wrought.

The fifty sisters were clearly displeased with Shen Wu’s command. But the threat of that heart forced their compliance.

“Who are we to capture?” they asked coldly.

Shen Wu sneered and tossed them a jade slip. “The target’s information is inside. After capturing them, deliver them to Wondrium Imperius. There are additional instructions in the jade slip.”

With that, Shen Wu transformed back into a silver liquid vortex, vanishing from the mountaintop.

After she left, the fifty sisters on the summit exchanged displeased looks.

“This Shen Wu is always trying to hurt Tianming. Why should we listen to her?”

“We have no choice. She has Tian Jiu’s heart.”

“But by following her, we’ve devoured many wonderians... The stronger we become, the more Tianming will value us.”

“Even if it makes little brother glance at us just once more, I’m willing.”

“So what now? Do we really do as she says?”

“Let’s check the jade slip first... capturing someone should be easy.”

“Who are we capturing?”

“It’s an ally of Tianming...”

The fifty sisters began arguing. Some insisted they should proceed, others refused.

As the argument intensified, the youngest among them stepped forward. Among her sisters, she seemed the most radiant and composed. She glanced at the jade slip and said, “Right now, we have no choice. We follow her instructions first, then find an opportunity to reclaim the heart.”

The others silently complied.

Sensing the obsession dwelling in her forty-nine sisters, the youngest said nothing more. Only a different kind of light flickered deep within her dark eyes.

***

The Wondersky Fairy was attacking a remote wondersky realm.

“Hmph, that rotten Tianming is really treating me like a slave!” she cursed while her wonder wrecked the wondersky realm, which took the form of a black octopus.

But it soon turned into a radiant smile.

“But I’ve already destroyed quite a few of these wondersky realms... judging by his attitude, he’s acknowledged me, hasn’t he?” Her smile revealed a hint of playfulness.

Countless caeli leaked out of the collapsing wondersky realm. The octopus was utterly incapable of resistance, and its curses gradually grew weaker.

The Wondersky Fairy was also the Perpetual Wonderqueen, the ultimate existence controlling these realms! Her perpetual wondersky wonder was the key to controlling them.

However, at that moment, ripples suddenly spread through the surrounding space!

Her expression changed. Sensing something wrong, she was about to flee when the surrounding space tore apart, and fifty Weisheng Moran emerged.

They moved as one, looking at the Wondersky Fairy as though she were the most delicious prey.

“Tian Jiu!” The Wondersky Fairy was terrified out of her wits. She had traveled far and worked herself to the bone for Tianming all these years, all to escape Tian Jiu.

Yet she never imagined Tian Jiu would appear around her at this very moment!

She wanted to escape.

But could she?

Trillions upon trillions of wonders unfolded around her!

This was Tian Jiu, the progenitor of the wonderians. She was their alpha and their omega!

Before such an existence, her perpetual wondersky wonder was utterly useless.

The Wondersky Fairy immediately broke down in tears, crying out for mercy.

But the fifty figures paid her no heed. Countless wonders instantly locked her down. This former second-in-command of the wonderians was unable to withstand even a single exchange against Tian Jiu.

“To Wondrium Imperius.” The fifty sisters tore open space and departed.

Following Shen Wu’s orders, they would bring their prisoner to Wondrium Imperius and execute her publicly!

Wondrium Imperius? The Wondersky Fairy was beset by unimaginable terror. Alas, she had no means of escape and could only let Tian Jiu carry her toward Wondrium Imperius...
