Beastmaster of the Ages

The barrier in front of Tianming would be much easier to break than the hundred thousand locks of the tomb, but Yi Taoyao was right on his tail! He didn’t dare to breathe a sigh of relief when his survival was still unknown.

”Screw you! Screw!” He used his Skypierce Finger like a madman to break the green characters, rushing through two hundred more of them in mere moments as his heart rate increased.

”She’s here!” He saw Yi Taoyao when he had only fifty characters left.

The bee-head person in a dress stopped when she saw him. Her compound eyes shot him a complicated look that quickly turned cold. ”Lin Feng, did you see the scenes of Guchi Xiaoyin killing someone else?”

”No, what scenes?”

”Stop pretending. If you didn’t see it, why’d you run?”

”Lady, we were crammed so close together just now, so I made some space! I didn’t want you to think I was taking advantage of you, that’s all! Otherwise, you’d kill me!” He was doing this to buy time.

”Forget it. It doesn’t matter if you’re feigning ignorance or not. I have no choice but to kill you now that we’ve been dragged in here. Accept your fate.” Yi Taoyao shook her head and her dress fluttered. She charged toward him without another word.

”Wait!” Tianming yelled.

”What do you want to say?” she snapped, her tone cold.

”Baby, you’re incredibly beautiful! I like you!” he said with all the earnestness he could muster.

”You like me?”

”Yes! I’ve known about you for a long time. I saw many paintings of you and was absolutely pining for you. I didn’t think I’d meet you in the flesh right here. You’re too breathtakingly beautiful! Nobody in Ebonia can hope to compare!” He squeezed all the cheesy pickup lines he had and added some spice of his own.

”That’s right! I can stand witness! The paintings he had were all nude, but they’re really good looking! He also does something despicable to them every day!” Ying Huo said, poking its head out of Tianming’s lifebound space.

”You!” She was utterly confused and horrified. ”Lin Feng, are you insane? I don’t know you at all! Not to mention, you haven’t even been in Ebonia that long anyway!” It sounded like she actually believed it and considered him a sex pest.

”You’re right! Bye bye!” All three hundred characters were unlocked. In the confusion, he managed to break free, causing the barrier to soften. He charged into it and completely disappeared, leaving her blankly staring at the sight. It took a while before she realized that he had only been spouting nonsense.

”Lin Feng!” This time, she was angry for real. Her mandibles wildly flapped as she screamed. When she tried giving chase, she slammed into a solid barrier, stunning her. ”How dare you mess with me?!” She hadn’t been around Tianming for that long, yet she had experienced many firsts in the short time she’d known him. Her head bled from the collision and she fell back into her despairing state. She was so mad that she coughed out blood, staining her dress. Her eyes started reddening—wait, eyes? She looked down and saw that her head was bleeding red, as well as the blood she spat out!

”I....” She touched her head in a hurry and felt a smooth sensation, then took a mirror out.

”Aah!” The mirror reflected her beautiful face. Her five-colored eyes were as enchanting as ever. ”I’ve recovered!” Tears immediately flowed nonstop. It wasn’t like she was someone who cared about silly, inconsequential things, but that the psychological turmoil of having one’s head replaced with a disgusting insect’s was just too much. ”How’d I recover even though I didn’t kill him?”

She stood up and calmed herself. ”Maybe it’s because I’m the only one left within this room. Does that mean one other room will end up with three people?” That was the only conclusion she could come to as she looked in the direction Tianming had left..com

”Lin Feng, even if your departure caused me to recover, I’ll still pay you back for the humiliation I felt. I hope you survive until then.” She turned and left, her black dress swaying in her wake as she disappeared in the fog.

......

Back in the council hall at the Infinitum Swordsea were a dozen Lin Clan elites, all engaged in heated debate. Lin Jie of the fifth branch, Lin Xiong of the sixth branch, Lin Yun of the third branch, and Lin Changkong of the ninth branch were all there.

”Do you see that? The Oldgod Rings the disciples are wearing are still capable of broadcasting what’s happening around them. That means they can’t be that far away, let alone in another world!” Lin Yun said with agitation.

”Not to mention, their ranking on the Infinitum Stele is still changing based on their fights,” Lin Changkong added.

”That’s right! The main difference between the foggy world of the nest and the Oldgod Domain is the lack of Mundus Enforcers. The rules there are different from the ones set by the Infinitum Bodhimanda. It used to be fighting until one side was eliminated, but now they’ll have to kill each other! After Guchi Xiaoyin made the first kill, all participants began going for the kill to restore their heads to normal. That’ll no doubt greatly affect the rankings! A large number of disciples will die!” Lin Yun said.

”If more than six thousand people go for the kill, at least half of them will die! That’s three thousand plus genius disciples! Heavens! Our clan sent a hundred and eighty there, and at least ninety of them will perish!”

”Ebonia will fall into chaos with so many geniuses dead.”

”Even Chi Hun went rushing into the Oldgod Domain for his son, Guchi Xiaoyin.”

Everyone’s expressions were dark and gloomy, their moods weighed down by worry. Their cooperative efforts with the ebons had been put to a halt due to how serious this incident was.

”Who in the world left something like that there? Has the rex mundi made any announcements?” Lin Xiong asked.

”Not yet, but she should soon.”

After a bit, an old man entered and said, ”The rex mundi said that they’ve been transported to an ancestral world.”

”Ancestral world?” The phrase sent waves of chatter through the crowd.

”Why can we still see the Oldgod Rings’ broadcasts if they’re in an ancestral world? How’s the ranking still continuing?”

”It can’t be an ancestral world!”

”If the rex mundi says it is, it is.”

Amidst the heated debate, Lin Xiong asked, ”Did she say how we can save them?”

The bearer of the news sighed, ”She said that not even she can touch the ancestral world. The children only have themselves to count on.”
