Beastmaster of the Ages

“You really think you can posture then just run away?” Tianming snorted. He exchanged a glance with Moran, and with perfect understanding, they struck together.

If these Aeternal Beings were the supreme gods of the universe, then well, it was time to be a godslayer.

Little Fish’s innumerable wonders erupted and formed a prison trapping Shen Wu within. This wonder prison was like the combined power of hundreds of billions of wonderian elites, including Imperator Shen!

Shen Wu’s five silver swords at her side struck in the same direction, only to be blocked by weapons and gates there.

“Courting death!” Her escape cut off, Shen Wu’s five silver swords circled her like five celestial rivers. Her power far surpassed the level of an imperator.

Unfortunately, Tianming was stronger than even that.

He advanced with Weisheng Moran at his side, his eyes burning with killing intent.

All his lifebound beasts merged into his body, all eight of their attributes manifesting on Tianming. He even had Ji Ji’s genesis ancestral nova source.

Tianming raised the Grand-Orient Sword and unleashed the strongest strike of his life.

It seemed a simple swing, but behind it lay ten orders, eight beasts, and the fury of the entire universe!

“And you dare call yourself a Galactic Emperor with this?” Shen Wu sneered coldly. “Pathetic.”

Her five silver swords moved instantly to intercept... only to be shattered one after another like dry branches.

The silver blades’ brief resistance helped Shen Wu to barely retreat, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.

“Why did you stop laughing?” Tianming looked down at her.

Shen Wu refused to yield. “You ignorant fool,” she spat coldly. “A frog in a well. Do you think you can truly stand among the great? If not for the limits of this projection, killing you would be no harder than slaughtering chickens!”

“Too bad,” Tianming sneered. “Right now, you’re the chicken.”

He struck again. This time, his totems added their strength as well, forming a sword formation.

“Get lost!” Shen Wu unleashed her full power. The shattered silver swords reformed into a single colossal sword five times larger, blocking his attack.

The sword formation crushed it instantly.

Shen Wu seized the moment to transform into a silver vortex, attempting to escape once more.

“Trying to run?” A casual wave from Moran summoned endless wonders, locking down space.

Tianming seized the opening to slam the sword formation and his sword onto Shen Wu, making countless streaks of silver light burst apart and collapse.

It felt like the past again.

Tianming led the assault, while Little Fish did crowd control. Their seamless coordination, born from deep mutual understanding, turned them into a nightmare for any opponent.

“Little Fish... and Zi Zhen... This victory was thanks to them.” They were the ones he loved most, each giving everything to help him fulfill his destiny.

“In this life, I will never abandon you.”

His sword-ki tore across Shen Wu’s silver body, carving countless wounds.

Yet as an Aeternal Being, she survived even that. Though battered and scarred, she turned into a vortex again and vanished, reappearing at the far end of the wonder prison.

The once-lofty being now looked utterly disheveled. Silver light formed five swords, though they were clearly weaker.

“Li Tianming!” Even now, Tian Jiu showed no sign of surrender. “Surrender, and Tian Jiu may yet be spared. Resist, and she will suffer eternal despair. You cannot comprehend the power we possess.”

Tianming laughed. “I take that back. You’re not a chicken, you’re a parrot. You keep repeating the same things!”

Inwardly, Tianming remained wary.

Shen Wu’s arrogance suggested a final trump card.

Moran acted. Her countless wonders condensed once more into nine vast, shifting maws, which clamped down on Shen Wu’s five silver swords.

These blades were the source of Shen Wu’s power. They were impossible to destroy completely, but with them restrained, she had no means of resistance.

“Now it ends.” Tianming cast a grateful glance at Little Fish, then unleashed another strike at the Shen Wu aimed to reap her life.
