Beastmaster of the Ages

When Tianming turned back, he collected all the dazzling radiances from the crumbling world. There were quite a lot there. ”I got around sixty thousand standard dazzling radiances from Torch Dragon and Aquamarine last time. Who knew that Yueling Starcage actually contained the most of all of them.”

There were another sixty thousand plus dazzling radiances in total. Yin Chen was still searching all around and found even more of them in the far corners of the starcage.

”They’ve been taking the dazzling radiances and storing them away to stop me from using them since I returned and they weren’t able to destroy them in the short term. I guess it makes sense that they have the most since they were the strongest faction.”

Tianming didn’t overthink it. Instead, Yin Chen brought him more surprising information.

”What? The cosmic gods of Yueling are all gathered together? Not bad! Let’s take care of them all at once. First, we pack up the dazzling radiances.”

Tianming then led them out of the vortex to leave the fallen world.

The massive palace of the ruling house at Yueling Capital was holding a banquet. All primocosmic gods of the starcage were invited to attend. There are a bit more than ten of them in total, led by the father of the four Yueling imperatores, Yueling Xiao. All this took place in the backyard of the palace.

An armored but kindly middle-aged man of the Yueling Clan was currently nodding to a silver cockroach. ”Greetings, Boss Chen! We have gathered all the elites of Yueling Starcage together per your orders.”

This man was called Yueling Fu, someone of no importance in the Yueling Clan. Even though he commanded a force of ten thousand cosmic gods, he was completely dwarfed by the likes of Yueling Xiao and the rest. However, he was able to gather the leaders together because he had the right to speak to Yueling Xiao. All it took was for him to suggest that they meet to discuss what they would do about the situation.

”Very good... good job,” Yin Chen said, nodding with satisfaction. ”Kid you... have some... good sense... to join... our side... right away! You shall... take charge... of this... Yueling Starcage... in future!”

”You flatter me too much,” Yueling Fu said, bowing even lower. ”I only wish that Emperor Tianming will spare my family.”

This was the perfect chance for Tianming to come to take care of them in one fell swoop.

The atmosphere within the great hall was rather tense. It hadn’t been that long ago when the primocosmic gods’ factions warred against each other.

Yueling Xiao assessed the situation and said, ”I have gathered everyone here today to discuss the future of the Yueling Clan. Once, we squabbled against each other and I left you all to your own devices. I’m sure you have more or less gotten to vent all your grudges against one another, right?”

Quite a few cosmic gods chuckled. It wasn’t that Yueling Xiao intentionally left them alone. He simply didn’t have the power to rein them in!

One of the Yueling cosmic gods with a blade scar on his face slammed the table and said, ”Old man, your four daughters are dead. You’re no longer in charge of Yueling Starcage. What do the rest of you say?” 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Yueling Xiao snapped, ”Nonsense! I know that you all are vying for my Yueling Starsource. As long as I have this, I am the rightful ruler of this world! Let me be frank with you. I sent some of my people into the green vortex not too long ago and saw Long’er and the rest revived by the Adjudicator. The skyplunder family and Li Tianming entered that vortex. No doubt, their deaths will come soon enough! Once the two imperial sons die by their hands, the Realm of Chaos will be ours to rule! I have summoned all of you to discuss the specifics!”

That announcement stunned all the cosmic gods there.

The scarred man said, ”Revived? How’s that even possible? Haven’t Imperator Long and the rest gotten torn to shreds by Li Tianming at Vermillion Bird Starcage?”

Yueling Xiao smirked. ”I didn’t think that the likes of you would doubt the Adjudicator’s capabilities. Do you think he would’ve reached those heights without some kind of special power? Not to mention, he is backed by another powerful being, one that has dominion over life and death itself!”

The testy cosmic gods felt like they had been doused with icy water. They had seen this as a chance to rob Yueling Xiao of the starsource to become the true ruler of that world, only to hear the stunning proclamation that his daughters had been revived. If Tianming and his family died within the vortex, the Yueling Clan might really get to unite the Realm of Chaos! This was the chance they had been waiting for!

Their thoughts led to more and more excitement. Conquering other worlds in the Realm of Chaos was far more fun than fighting each other within Yueling Starcage.

The scarred man immediately changed his attitude and knelt to Yueling Xiao on one knee. ”If that’s the case, I, Yueling Hu, will serve you and lead our forces to spread our dominion across the Realm of Chaos!”

It was such a rapid change in attitude that some wondered whether he had planned this charade with Yueling Xiao in advance.

Right as it was sinking in with the other cosmic gods, an unexpected voice rang out within the imperial hall. ”The Realm of Chaos does need to be united. However, the Yueling Clan won’t be the one to do it.”

A white-haired youth emanating boundless sword light could be seen at the hall’s entrance, his black-gold eyes shining brightly. Tianming’s appearance once more shocked the elite cosmic gods of the Yueling Clan.

”Wasn’t he going to die in that vortex? Why did he show up here?!”

”What about the Adjudicator and his powerful backer?”

Yueling Xiao rose in shock, glaring at Tianming so hard that his eyes were about to pop out.
