Beastmaster of the Ages

Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue struggled as well. They would have been captured if the Intrepideans knew who they were.

”Grandson! My grandson.... Who can save him!” Dongshen Yue’s face was filled with despair, her eyes dripping blood.

Climbing to his feet, Lin Xiao met an Intrepidean head-on and was immediately knocked down by a wave of flames. Even his cosmic charts were scorched black. The brilliance of the bloody cocoon was a sign of danger and hopelessness.

In fact, there was someone who was in a worse state than all of them right behind Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue. The girl dressed in blue fell from the Gladean Ruins and suffered heavy injuries under the suppression of the foundation fortresses, just like everyone else. She, too, struggled to get up. Her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were all bleeding and her face was extremely pale.

She intently stared at the bloody cocoon, clawing her way across the battlefield till the flesh on her fingers was a mangled mess. Amid the yellow sand, her hair fluttered in the wind. Her pale face grew colder with each passing moment, hints of icy blue flickering in her black eyes until the color occupied her entire pupil. Then her hair turned blue like ice crystals. Then she was able to stand up straight and slowly move against the restraint of the foundation fortresses. However, she still wasn’t strong enough to move freely and get to where she wanted to go. The bloody battle continued around her. Like moths to a flame, the astral gods of the Sun turned into dust before the foundationeers.

The bloody cocoon was reflected in her icy blue eyes, which were filled with tears. ”Big Brother, I can’t remember exactly how long it’s been since the first time I met you.”

Memories of their time together, as well as his weaknesses and strengths, flashed through her mind. Up to this point, they had always been there, hidden deep in her heart. Their first encounter in Ignispolis, relying on each other in the Grand-Orient Mountain Range, the first time she used Soulburn for him, fighting to survive in the Tomb of the Ancients, walking on the edge in the divine realm....

The most profound moment was her first Perpetual Nirvana in the Divine Moon Realm. Like two ends of a rope, they were linked to each other in life and death. She was his fetter and he was hers. That memory could never be erased; an experience like that left her with no regrets. It was the thing that had kept her going on her own after Perpetual Nirvana. It made her strong enough to persist through the blood grudge and transform into a human once more, as well as fight the cyclic bugs in the Kunlan Realm.

The cheesy love letter she had received in the Archaion Sect, their first intimate union in Soulburn Hall in the wondersky realm, and the day she’d received Ling’er’s Love lingered on her mind at that moment, turning into icy blue tears.

”You said you would stay with me until the end of time, but we aren’t even close to that....”

Were they going to say goodbye today? She didn’t want to let go! She wasn’t always able to help him, and as time went by, she had taken it easy and allowed nature to take its course. More and more girls kept appearing around him, but she didn’t seem to mind it anymore. But in fact, she did care! She was just suppressing the part of her that was the Lord of Perpetia. But that was the passionate part of her that wasn’t afraid to love or hate.

Her heart pounded even more violently than before. It was at the moment her lover’s life was uncertain and she had to watch everything she cared about being destroyed that she realized how much rage was inside of her. The fire in her heart and the power surging in her delicate body was like a silent volcano erupting, pouring out from her heart into her limbs.

”I still have one final round of Perpetual Nirvana before I’m truly reborn and alive!!”

Feiling rose into the sky, her long blue hair whipping in the wind. When her gaze turned solemn and vacant, she suddenly changed from a sweet and gentle girl to a somber ruler, ready to raze the world to the ground to vent her fury. Her trembling eyes stared in Tianming’s direction as the will she had hidden deep in her heart erupted from her body.

”Li Tianming!” She had never called out his full name with such passion and force as she did right now. ”I swear! I swear! No one can take you away from me! I’ll kill anyone who dares to hurt you! I’ll kill them!!”

At that moment, she completed her change. Black and blue! She had thought that blue was her cold, indifferent Lord of Perpetia state, but now she realized that she was wrong! There was a third color, which had once briefly appeared in the Divine Moon Realm. Sovereign Xi had perished in the midst of it.

A ray of golden light burst from her eyes the moment she shouted those ardent words. In an instant, her eyes turned gold. Hundreds of millions of interlocking divine patterns were hidden within the gold, each composed of golden flowers and vines. The golden beam of light shot into the sky, producing powerful shockwaves and illuminating the heavens and earth.

Many looked over in astonishment as Feiling flew to the center of the battlefield and her long blue hair transformed once more. Gold vines and small, dark gold flowers adorned her luscious golden locks, making her appear majestic and commanding. It wasn’t the gold of an emperor; there was something overbearing, yet pure and sacred about it. Feiling was a heaven-defying “lord” in every sense. There was nothing lonesome about her. Instead, she carried an air of superiority and contempt that distanced her from all others.

However, that wasn’t all.

At that moment, the most incredible thing happened. An enormous pair of gold wings appeared behind her as she soared into the sky, enveloped in the golden light. They weren’t the Kunlan Worldwings, but real flesh-and-blood wings connected to her body.

The gold wings spread out, forming a dazzling golden light that illuminated the entire battlefield. Her aura and majesty made the three powerful foundationeers stop and stare in astonishment at the complicated divine patterns on each golden feather of her wings. It was as if an ancient divine entity reminiscent of the Soulfiend was sealed in each of them. The wings were most likely Perpetia City itself!

The gold wings heralded the return of the gods. And at that moment, Feiling was a divine ruler. The golden-eyed and golden-haired Feiling was completely different from the blue one in temperament and might. She had slaughtered Sovereign Xi after her first Perpetual Nirvana in this form.

The divine patterns and divine manifestations in each feather unleashed their own wills. A hundred thousand gods, a hundred thousand wills! As soon as they materialized, the astral gods of the Sun suddenly felt the suppression from the foundation fortresses disappear.

”What?”

They were all shocked. The incandescence of the woman in the center of the battlefield was reflected in their eyes, including Mister Taihe who stared with confusion.

Feiling locked on to him filled with bottomless rage.
