Beastmaster of the Ages

Imperatores Inferno, Carnage, Dominium, Carillon, Venerabilis, and Defiance all manifested as huge astral giants, completely dwarfing Ba Xiao! Tianming raised his sword, retracing the precise steps and techniques of the fused Imperator’s Mural that had been engraved into his flesh. He recalled the sensation of courage imparted into him by those moves! As the sword was raised high, his ten bane rings infused it with totem ki, seemingly wrapping the sword in ropes that channeled energy into it.

”Vaporize!” Tianming turned into a great sword flash of black and gold as he charged ahead with blinding speed. The projections of the six imperatores blended into a huge flash that parted the seas of flames around them. It was a sword strike packed with dense power that wiped away any trace of lightning in its path.

If it hadn’t been for the lifebound beasts and divine wonders’ preparation, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly! They had at least shaved away half of the destructive potential of Ba Xiao’s strike, allowing Tianming to unleash an absolutely devastating attack for the sake of his subjects in the foundationeer’s moment of weakness!

”What?!” Ba Xiao was so stunned that the might from his attack seemed to cease. Just like that, Tianming’s strike was right before his eyes, the great flash instantly enveloping everything around him. ”Im—impossible!”

How could a young cosmic cartographer around a century old unleash power on this level? It simply violated all common sense! Tianming’s strike was many, many more times more potent than his spacetime fusion strike from before.

”Noooo!” Ba Xiao only truly began to comprehend the terror he was facing when his own attack had been completely crushed. However, three infinitum-class divine wonders had him completely locked down! Tianming didn’t give him any chance to retreat. Ba Xiao could either fight to the death or accept it without struggling!

He desperately used everything he had and channeled as much cosmoforce as he could into strengthening his blow! The instant he did so, the Grand-Orient Sword’s flash invaded the Galactic Lightning Stove, piercing through waves of lightning and tearing them apart. The aftershock of the sword strike wreaked havoc in Ba Xiao’s flurry of strikes. Explosions occurred nonstop, throwing more order energy into disarray. Tianming’s omnisentient power completely burst through them!

”You—” Ba Xiao would never have expected that even his full-powered strike would be crushed all the same. It was something that he could never have fathomed! The eyes of his galactic body seemed filled with disbelief.

”I have to run!” It was only then that the thought had occurred to him, but Tianming wouldn’t give him an opportunity.

”You’re already dead. Why’re you still running?” came Tianming’s booming voice through the yellow flames. The Xia words came flying once more right as Ba Xiao turned around, forming a prison that trapped him within! Right in front of him was the ephemeral world wonder, while many more eightpart apparitions within him tore away at his body!

”Brat! You scoundrel!” Ba Xiao turned back in a hurry. His furious exclamations couldn’t mask the panic he felt. He was a foundationeer that had cultivated for thousands of years and reached the zenith on Intrepidus, yet even he felt his heart skip a beat at the sight of Tianming and his flowing robes, ascending sword ki, decuple totem power, and lifebound beasts’ might fusing together with the Grand-Orient Sword.

”Those who wrong me shall be slain!”

With the strike came death.

”Big Sis! Save me!” Ba Xiao hadn’t expected that he would ever be capable of saying such a thing. What was even more embarrassing was that crying out for help had only helped to prove his fear, but it would be of no use to him as Demoness Yin was nowhere to be seen!

Tianming’s sword pierced the galactic giant’s chest, unleashing all the pent-up power within it into the giant’s body. Then Ying Huo, Meow Meow, Lan Huang, Xian Xian, and the three divine wonders’ full might followed! ”Perish, foundationeer!”

Tianming had given his everything.

”Uuugghh!” Ba Xiao couldn’t believe the sight of the hole in his chest. The Grand-Orient Sword had become his nightmare. When he looked up again, he saw Tianming’s cold expression.

”The one who killed you today wasn’t me, Li Tianming, but the countless ‘ants’ on the Sun that you looked down on! I only helped them slay a true god like you!”

Godslaying! The sheer thought rang nonstop within Ba Xiao’s head as he struggled. Then, with a pained cry, it was all over. The miniature astral giant crumbled away from the full force of the attack, leaving no trace of its existence behind. Rage had burned so bright and furious that even the firmament was gone.

Ba Xiao was completely gone. Tianming raised his sword up high and proclaimed, ”Ba Xiao of Intrepidus is dead!”

Everyone had seen that sight through the Omnisentient Threads. Their hearts were consumed by flames of passion at that moment, which was all directly transferred to Tianming. He looked nothing short of divine in their eyes!

......

”Li Tianming killed a foundationeer from Intrepidus!”

”Lin Feng killed Ba Xiao!”

Everyone found out about the crazy development almost simultaneously with it happening. The denizens of the Sun believed it without any doubt, but the wonderians were completely distrusting of that news. But even someone like Demoness Yin would have no choice but to accept the truth. A shocking howl came from the Flameyellow Coffin, Demoness Yin’s howl!

”Amazing!” Xiaodao and Wudi celebrated. They hadn’t been able to gain any advantage, even while working together, yet Tianming had managed to single-handedly tip the scales. They coldly glared at the woman that appeared like a black mist.

She seemed as gloomy as she could be as she waved to the empty space ahead of her. ”Since that’s the case, I’ll wipe out these two old geezers first. All three of you, come out!”
