Beastmaster of the Ages

These two’s resolve to fight till the bitter end also gave Tianming a headache. Races that could accomplish great things in the astralscape had no wastrels! “This is troublesome. How old would I have to be to challenge them if I didn’t have a trillion Omnisentient Threads?”

He hadn’t become arrogant due to his Omnisentient Threads. If it weren’t for the enemy being in the dark, they would just have to flee a certain distance and he wouldn’t dare to chase them. “I must kill them for the sake of the sun’s peace, as well as its successful crossing of the celestial boundary!” If the wonderians reached the sun, they could wantonly massacre billions, which Tianming couldn’t bear. It might just lead to the collapse of the entire imperial will system. Tianming’s Omnisentient Threads had flaws just as clear as its strength; his enemies just hadn’t found out yet.

For example, his imperial will had nearly collapsed when the lunarians sent ten thousand gods to Flameyellow. He had learned from his experiences, though, and wouldn’t permit it to happen again. Thus, he had to kill them now to remove future problems.

“Come!” His six lifebound beasts and Feiling all returned to his side.

“We must obtain this ancient star. It has too many secrets!” the old man said.

“Right! We can’t give it to the mysterians!” the crone agreed.

Seeing the shocking team of ‘savages’ gathered together, the suzerains looked at each other and their eyes filled with even more madness. They began their final struggle. It was clear that they still had confidence in themselves, the foundation of which was the combat experience they’d accrued over a thousand years.

“Skyway masterbrush, rise into the sky!”

“Sacredway tome wonder, establish the mountains and rivers!”

The two spoke in tandem. Under their control, the brush was stained with ink and the tome flipped open. The brush fell upon the open tome’s empty first page and formed words.

“The brush swiftly moves, Grand Dao Thousand Words!” the two shouted as one.

The performance of the divine wonders from the elders broadened Tianming’s horizons much more than Weisheng Xi’s had.

“A combination skill?” Ying Huo said.

“Careful!” Tianming could already feel the danger. He was mentally prepared for anything, as these were suzerains said to be on par with the Three Sovereigns Mysterium.

The brush speedily wrote on the tome, their interaction quickly creating a miracle in front of Tianming’s eyes.

It took only a moment for the character ‘大’, which meant grand, to be written on the tome’s first page. Then the page flew out and transformed into a white stone plaque that emanated an ancient and vast aura. The ‘大’ character transformed into a black engraving that shone with black light.

And that was just the beginning.

The second page had the character ‘道’, which meant dao. It also flew out and became a white plaque that positioned itself next to the first plaque.

The third character ‘千’, which meant thousand!

The fourth character ‘言’, which meant words!

Together, they were ‘大道千言’, or Grand Dao Thousand Words.

From the fifth page onward, the words were smaller, but the plaques they created were equally big.

The brush’s movement and the tome’s flipping were so fast they became a blur. The erection of plaques one after another was like a wall being built, a wall that was even tougher than Perpetia City’s. The power of the stone plaques created by this combination was much stronger than the might of the addition of the previous two wonders.

Over three hundred plaques had already been created in a short time. Any of them would be able to kill millions if they were on the sun.

Tianming was feeling apprehensive. “Grand Dao Thousand Words may have a thousand of these stone plaques in its final form. Don’t give them a chance!” He wasn’t an idiot and wouldn’t passively let his enemy unleash such a grand move. There wasn’t much time, seeing how fast they had completed three hundred words.

“Go!” One man, six beasts, and ten swords all pounced on the two suzerains.

“Quicker!” The old crone’s expression turned cold.

One wrote the words while the other flipped the pages. “They’ll definitely die once the Grand Dao Thousand Words is completed!” The combination technique was their strongest trump card. The condition for the Grand Dao Thousand Words to work was for the two to deeply love each other and understand the other’s heart, as well as repeatedly train it for a thousand years. It was only such repetition that had allowed them such high speeds and precision at the same time.

Combination techniques like this one were the core of the wonderians’ strength. To the various races of the astralscape, the wonderians symbolized love. Tianming could also sense that from these two. It was touching, yes, but he was still responsible for two trillion lives.

“Big Brother, I’ll break them up!” Feiling said with confidence, which boosted Tianming’s confidence as well.

“I’ll leave it in your hands.” After examining her so thoroughly the last few days, he already fully understood what she had up her sleeves. Her city was very strong, and certain of its abilities didn’t even suffer any restrictions from her twelfth-level solarian cultivation level.

Feiling took action and appeared behind the two suzerains. Her finger tapped on a spot, making a transparent hole appear. A stone plaque crashed down on her position, but she vanished before it could land.

“The entire world is within the hourglass. You cannot escape the flow of the sands of spacetime!” her parting voice rang out within the suzerains’ ears.

“What’s that supposed to be?” the old crone cursed.

The next moment, the two were shocked to realize that everything within Perpetia City, from the walls to space itself, had become sand.

Space had become sand! They weren’t aware that time had also become grains of sand. It was the flow of the sands of spacetime, and the flows of sand naturally moved. The flow of sand in a desert could easily drag one into the abyss; it was even scarier than swamps and running water as sand was denser, making it harder to climb out of.

The suzerains could clearly feel the change in spacetime. They felt a massive weight pressing down on their bodies even though they could clearly see that nothing was around them. They felt like countless grains of sand were swallowing up and dragging them in a certain direction, toward the spot Feiling had just tapped on.

A transparent hole was there, growing larger. It was the mouth of the hourglass! If the hourglass was flipped, all the sand of Perpetia City would flow toward that single spot. Every person and object would have to resist the flow every moment unless Feiling willed it!

It was the flow of the sand of spacetime!

It was an unfathomable power to Tianming. He had been stunned silly, and he’d learned something from the Lord of Perpetia’s miracles: he still knew nothing about the supreme powers of the universe.

Of course, Perpetia City still wasn’t fully unsealed yet and could only reach a certain level of crowd control. Tianming would still be needed to finish things. Even so, Feiling was now an excellent partner on par with Lingfeng!
