Beastmaster of the Ages

”No! He has to die!” Lin Jianxing bit his tongue so hard that he almost bit through it. There was a fact that he finally had to admit: Tianming was the strongest enemy he’d faced so far. The days when he could just kill him with a single sneeze were long gone!

”Swordbeasts, return!” he shrieked, but he no longer cared about his appearance, not even wiping off the sparkling blood that had flowed all over his head. The swordbeasts that were deeply engaged in combat turned back into spiritforms and entered Lin Jianxing’s sword, causing it to shine with radiant light. Dragon scales of six varying colors appeared on the blade, greatly increasing its size. The injured Lin Jianxing seemed to have been restored, looking even more threatening than before as he glared at Tianming with bloodshot eyes.

”Lin Feng, your only purpose in life is atonement! How can someone like you be fit to be my opponent? Do you even know what a real sword is like?” He held his sword in both hands, widened his eyes, and roared, ”Now I’ll show you what the Swordgod Lin Clan is really like!”

He was charging up for an ultimate move! Tianming noticed that the six dragons’ abilities had all fused together, gathering up into a single bundle.

”Sextuple Supernova!” Fusing the abilities of his dragons was only possible in their swordbeast form. Before Lin Jianxing even moved, his sword blasted even more light into its surroundings. The six different-colored astral lights formed a vortex of sword ki, from within which Lin Jianxing glared at Tianming like a god of death. Then the sword came piercing toward him.

”I want you to die! Ten breaths from now, you won’t be alive anymore!” He used another move from the Wallwatcher Star Proliferation Sword Art: Second Wallwatching, Galactic Sea of Chaos! It created even more powerful sword ki than the previous strike. Coupled with the abilities of his beasts, it seemed like Lin Jianxing was wielding a gigantic pillar that could be used to stir the sea of stars itself! The stream of power shot toward Tianming, though he seemed completely calm.

”Haha....” Perhaps many others would worry for his safety, yet he didn’t seem to feel the slightest bit of pressure at all. He circulated the energy in his body, preparing himself to take the rage-fueled strike. ”People have to go wild at least once while they still live. So I forgive you, no matter what you say. Now I’ll send you to hell.”

He didn’t put the four remaining Prime Cosmic Rings away, instead using them to take the initial brunt of the incoming strike! They shattered one after another. Then his lifebound beasts unleashed all their abilities, with Meow Meow’s Triworld Afterlife Bolts as the core and Yinyang Boltwheel to mitigate the power of the swordbeasts’ abilities. After that, Tianming retreated at high speed.

A trail of explosions followed him. The strike that had been infused with the power of the Sextuple Supernova was fiercely unrelenting, pushing past the abilities of Ying Huo and the rest. And Lin Jianxing was still imposingly charging toward Tianming!

”Die!” Green veins popped all over his body and his heart beat at least a hundred times for every breath he took. He probably thought that Tianming would be laid bare after the abilities of his beasts and his divine wonder were pushed apart. If his beasts didn’t sacrifice themselves to block the attack, he would die for sure! I can just kill his beasts first, then kill him! His divine wonder’s been crushed!

Lin Jianxing laughed maniacally and the walnut in his head pulsed in tandem with his swordheart as he charged out of the sea of abilities. Even though the power of Sextuple Supernova had more or less dissipated, his sword strike itself was still at full power. Not to mention, his swordbeasts could still use another ability.

Just as he thought that Tianming would die for sure, however, he saw a lifebound beast stand in the way of his strike! It wasn’t Ying Huo or Meow Meow, but Yin Chen! It gathered two billion of its bodies and changed them into a swarm of eight-starred ladybugs that flew toward Lin Jianxing. The ladybugs brightly shone as they suicidally charged into Lin Jianxing and the sword he wielded! The abilities that the swordbeasts continued unleashing were completely absorbed by Yin Chen, who lost more and more of its bodies. The sacrificial explosions greatly thinned the power of the sword strike! By the time Lin Jianxing tore through the sea of silver, his savage smile had turned into a furious grimace.

”Die, die, die!” The green flash sword ki destroyed countless eight-starred ladybugs, but there were still far too many. Even though he managed to wipe out a billion of them, it still seemed like they were endless in number! He swung his sword around him in a fit of wild rage. ”Lin Feng, come out and die!”

”Alright,” a calm voice rang out behind Lin Jianxing, sending chills down his spine. Tianming’s sword strike shot toward him like a meteor, along with the attacks of Ying Huo and Meow Meow.

”Die!” Lin Jianxing wanted to deal a fatal blow to Tianming, so he wouldn’t release his swordbeasts. He turned the full might of his sword strike toward him!

Wearing a cold expression, Tianming unleashed infernal flint sword ki from his gold sword. It shot out faster than lightning! Then Meow Meow’s Cosmic Lance pierced Lin Jianxing’s thigh, instantly enveloping his body in lightning.

”Don’t forget about your Chicken Bro!” A little yellow chicken appeared behind Lin Jianxing, smirking when it saw Meow Meow’s strike land. ”Give me your seventh heptastar organ!”

It executed the divine wonderian sword art, Mirage Starslaughter, with its Blazebane, Cosmic Blade wings. Lin Jianxing was so preoccupied with Tianming that he had failed to take notice!

”One strike to bust the balls, another to cut off the sausage! They call me the ballbusting chicken! Nothing can stop me!” Ying Huo’s strikes connected with his target and tore it apart!

Lin Jianxing’s face immediately turned green and he clenched his legs, desperately charging at Tianming and shrieking as he swung his final strike.

”You want to kill me far too badly, to the point that you lost all reason. How pitiful.” If it weren’t for his messed up mindset, someone of Lin Jianxing’s talent would have given Tianming a much harder time. Yet, all he could think about was killing Tianming in a single strike, ignoring everything else to the point that he let a chicken bust his balls. The moment Tianming saw him press on regardless, he knew there was no turning back for Lin Jianxing.

”Since both of us are from the Lin Clan, I shouldn’t have had to kill you. But my principle has always been to never spare anyone who has tried to kill me. That’s how I’ve survived so far. Farewell and good fucking riddance!” He used Delayed Capture with his golden sword, striking at the Celestial Dragon, deflecting it before thrusting the golden blade into Lin Jianxing’s wide-open mouth. Then he used his black sword to execute Unistrike Singularity, striking his swordheart and completely crushing it using spatial compression!

”Ugggh!” Lin Jianxing furiously glared at Tianming, pulling at his two swords with bare hands as he shook.

”It’s over. Be sure to not be so blind in your next life. Make sure you don’t kick my dick the next time you see me....” Tianming sent his Imperial Sword Prison into Lin Jianxing, using it to crush his remaining heptastar organs, killing him for good. The light in his desperate eyes dimmed.

Tianming drew his swords out of Lin Jianxing, who was still desperately clutching his. All billion members of the clan watched wordlessly, eyes widened with shock. In the resounding silence, Ji Ji’s spiritform popped out of nowhere, frustrated. ”Who’s trying to kick me again?!” [1]
