Beastmaster of the Ages

Back during the fight on the Skyhold Bridge, Lin Ke had told Tianming that the distance between them in the real world was far greater than he imagined. Lin Ke had been so angry at being messed with by Tianming that he’d proclaimed he would make Feiling and Xiaoxiao birth his children until the day they died. Being defeated by Tianming’s second totemic calamity had no doubt made Lin Ke harbor a lot of hatred in him. He had been impatient to meet Tianming in real life.

”Fighting in the wondersky realm is pointless! Li Tianming, I’ll show you how cruel the real world is!” Lin Ke said, nefariously smiling.

”That’s where you’re wrong. I’m the one who’ll be making you suffer the cruelty of reality, you stick monkey!” Tianming said.

Lin Ke’s gaze turned cold. ”Fool. Do you really think that I’m only at the level I was when I was five centuries old? Don’t you know how much I’ve changed over the past millennium or so? I’ve obtained far more techniques than you can possibly imagine!”

”Is that so? Bring out everything you have. I guarantee you’ll still be strung along by me.”

The only reason Lin Ke had even bothered saying so much was to buy time for Fengqing Youmeng to set up her divine wonder to lock down the battlefield. Being discovered by Tianming like that, no matter how weak he was supposed to be, had still come as quite a fright.

Fengqing Youmeng’s divine wonder quickly covered the entire battlefield. At the same time, she tried opening a Xenoworld Gate, only for her to freeze. ”Space around here has been locked down! The Xenoworld Gate won’t open!”

”What?!” Lin Ke was just as shocked. That meant that Tianming had come prepared! He had reinforcements, but they simply weren’t nearby. The two invaders nervously looked at each other.

”Lin Ke, our only chance is to take him hostage!”

”Got it.” Even at this fatal juncture, they still hadn’t realized why Tianming dared to approach them alone. ”Go!”

Tianming could tell that Lin Ke was afraid of his seniors, not himself. How powerful would they be after having cultivated for close to two millennia? It was clear to see from the changes of Fengqing Youmeng’s eightpart apparition wonder alone.

Originally, each apparition was only a meter high, but they now appeared to be around nine meters in height. They looked like fierce flameyellow fiends, armed with sharp teeth and claws. Not only were they adept at close combat, their shrieks could also affect the soul! One of them wasn’t much, but thousands of them covered the entire battlefield and entirely sealed it off.

Fengqing Youmeng had nine cosmic charts arranged in a nonagonal formation, unfolding behind her back. Each one shone bright and had a white order hive at its very center, surrounded by white clouds.

Within each hole of the hive was no mere larva, but fully-formed ghostly apparitions. The top genius of the Skydome Mundus was already among the ranks of the top elites. She was more than capable of taking on most cosmic cartographers with nine cosmic charts.

On the other hand, Lin Ke seemed far dimmer. His cosmic charts were invisible, like his body. Each one looked like the transparent surface of lakes, allowing them and Lin Ke to disappear right before Tianming’s eyes. The godshade race was truly built to be assassins from birth. Their orders and cosmic charts boosted their assassination abilities, allowing them to appear anywhere without being detected.

While Fengqing Youmeng’s divine wonder wasn’t a control type like her twin’s, it was a good match for Lin Ke’s stealth capabilities. She would draw most of the attention while Lin Ke hid amidst her apparitions, striking only at crucial moments. Yet despite the incoming danger, Tianming casually took out a transmission stone and called his seniors. ”Is the broadcast ready?”

”The recording formation’s been set up. Everyone in the Sky Palace Formation is watching, so fight to your heart’s content!” Xiaodao said.

”Alright. Time to have some fun.” Tianming’s eyes shone as he circulated the Order Relic within his body, opening all the holes to absorb the pressure coming from the orders of Fengqing Youmeng and Lin Ke. ”Come out, brothers and sisters!”

Apart from Yin Chen and Ji Ji, Tianming’s four beasts appeared beside him in combat formation. ”Kill them all!” The war cry shook the Sky Palace Formation, drawing the attention of everyone there.

”I heard that the enemies are ninth-level cosmic cartographers.... They’re also among the strongest in the Skydome Mundus!”

”Fengqing Youmeng’s probably someone on the level of Shenxi Tianxi of the ebons. She’s a thousand years younger, so she’s a bit weaker.”

”Since when did our Li Tianming become so powerful? Didn’t he only manage to defeat Lin Lingxiao not too long ago? He was only a third-level cosmic cartographer!”

”Heavens! That’s what true ascension looks like!”

The denizens of the Sun exploded into hype.

”Here it comes!” Countless black-and-gold Omnisentient Threads funneled the power of faith stemming from heavenly wills, divine wills, and orders into Tianming’s imperial order. The newfound order of his was finally going to pay off.

Tianming felt his body fill up with a terrifying energy that was double that of his own! If it weren’t for their wills and orders helping him control that vast amount of energy, he would have lost control on his own. ”Let’s take on this burden together!”

Tianming transferred the Omnisentient Will to his lifebound beasts, totems, and divine wonders. Even now, the development of the grand lexicon wonder continued. No doubt, the flood of Omnisentient Will strengthened it even further. His body exploded with power and might. The shockwave from that alone turned the incoming eightpart apparitions and their attacks into dust!
