Beastmaster of the Ages

A massive pale-white vortex emerged from Imperator Ming’s many pale-white eyes. Within it was a boundless amount of agonizing cosmoforce tainted with the power of death, swarming for Imperator Yin. This was his cosmic art, Daoless Death Torrent! The pale energy of death swallowed everything within that swirling vortex.

Imperator Yinne, meanwhile, flapped her countless black wings aggressively, launching black blade flashes that blocked out the skies as they formed into two galactic blades. She had just used Grand Yin Sin Punishment! Two galaxies in the form of blades, one representing sin, the other representing punishment, slashed across the skies.

As the two peak cosmic arts of the imperatores approached, the five-headed ten-armed Imperator Yin smirked. ”Hell-rings, open!”

Black smoke instantly emanated from his chest as bottomless energy from hell gathered. The hell-rings opened to connect to the eighth level of hell. Unlike typical devas, Imperator Yin was able to summon two terrifying ghoul emperors.

One of them was Yama, presider of the hellish realms, covered in pitch-black flames. The other was shaped like an aging old crone, though her powerful aura morphed the surrounding space into a hellish domain. This was none other than Old Lady Meng! These two ghoul emperors were taller than a hundred thousand meters, much stronger than the ghoul emperors that Tianming could summon. Such was the power of the hell-rings of a deva imperator!

Yama went charging towards Imperator Ming, covered entirely in hellish killing intent that it used to unleash countless ghoul claw strikes. Ghastly wails could be heard from the surrounding area all of a sudden, clashing with the pale deathly aura of Daoless Death Torrent.

Imperator Ming’s cosmic art also drew a hellish death energy, though its pale whiteness contrasted starkly against the ghoul emperor’s black energy. Instantly, the white vortex exploded with the power of destruction! Any cosmic god that approached it would be sucked into the vortex, torn apart by clashing white and black energies in an instant.

Old Lady Meng, on the other hand, unleashed countless black specter skulls that instantly turned into hungry ghosts. They went up against the galactic blades conjured by Imperator Yinne, opening their hell-gate-like mouths and swallowing the blade flashes whole!

While each of the massive ghoul emperors kept one imperator busy, Imperator Yin attacked with his Eightworld Wargod Blades, forcing Imperator Ming and Imperator Yinne to retreat in a hurry from the pressure. It was a five versus one, after all, so neither of them wanted to overcommit to the battle and focused on survival.

Then, Imperator Cang and his 98-crest serpent lifebound beast unleashed their cosmic art, Greatsun Gold Lightning Flash! The beastmaster and his serpent glowed bright gold as they took the form of a golden bolt of lightning from the heavens and shot towards Imperator Yin with full force!

Imperator Yan, on the other hand, unleashed Ninefirm Starfall Exorcism with his stellar divine blade totem. Alas, his mastery over the move paled in comparison to Tianming’s. Though it seemed powerful enough to destroy star worlds, it was still far off than crushing universes.

The Greatsun Gold Lightning Flash and powerful astral sword ki of Ninefirm Starfall Exorcism forced the white-bone blades of Imperator Yin aside and delivered a powerful blow of cosmoforce onto him, harming his undying body. That wasn’t helped by the fact that he was swarmed by ninety-nine accursed beasts right after!

”Imperator Mo, are all ashuras cowards like you who only know how to use surprise attacks?” Imperator Yin wasn’t able to defend against all the accursed beasts with only eight blades. Soon, the beasts began biting and tearing away at his body, delivering corrosive blood curse energy into him. All five pairs of his eyes pulsed with specter power, unleashing a pulse that temporarily drove the accursed beasts back.

Imperator Ming smirked. ”The Eightpart Pantheons simply use different tactics. Don’t be such a sore loser just because you can’t deal with it and quit with your pathetic babbling.”

Imperator Mo, who was in hiding, opened his eyes wide and unleashed two beams from them. This was Divine Limit Eyes. One black and one white pillar of light lit up the skies, instantly piercing through both of Imperator Yin’s pincers and causing them to explode.

Imperator Yin didn’t grunt in pain in the slightest and turned to Imperator Ming. ”I may babble, but you’re the pathetic ones! It’s five against one, and you’re still resorting to such cowardly tactics. What a joke.”

Imperator Ming was busy fending off Yama and still had to contend with two of the Eightworld Wargod Blades, which made it impossible for him to attack. ”We all know that you’re the strongest among us in close combat, Imperator Yin. You’re almost able to rival Imperator Shen, both of them! Naturally, we have to be careful.”

”Hahahahaha!” Imperator Yin bled out quite profusely. His massive transformed body continued to unleash powerful cosmoforce as he said, ”You five weaklings dare to claim to be rulers of the universe when you’re fighting like cowards. How pathetic!”

Imperator Mo smirked. ”Say what you want, but you won’t change the fact that you’ll die soon. The rest of the devas will be buried alongside you! Go regret your actions in hell!”

The five imperatores intensified their assault from all directions, amassing so much cosmoforce in their attacks that many cosmic gods nearby were sent flying into the distance from the shockwaves.

The devas and specter kings that watched their pincerless imperator fight with grave worry. Though he looked quite mighty, he was at a severe disadvantage. Even the strongest solo fighter would struggle when attacked by a group.

Right just then, however, Imperator Yin laughed heartily even as blood leaked out of his body. His laughter sounded like it came from the depths of hell as once more, he gathered the power of hell near his chest. At that moment of despair, he had managed to unlock the ninth level of hell! A terrifying ghoulish aura emanated from the hell-rings and spread all across the battlefield.
