Beastmaster of the Ages

Yin Chen suddenly split into a sea of insects, knocking Tianming down and engulfing him.

Tianming had to admit that it was ferocious now!

Ying Huo and the others were happy to see Yin Chen’s transformation

”This is great! Fifth can do all the work while we lay back and relax,” Ying Huo said.

”Being joined to the boss has great benefits. I can rest whenever I want.... Ahh, I’m so tired. I want to sleep until the end of time. If I’m lucky, it’ll be the end when I wake up! How nice would that be!” Meow Meow excitedly said.

Tianming finally led the astral gods back to the Sky Palace Formation as the entire world watched on. The battle was over for now. In the formation, thunderous cheers continued shaking the sky and seemed as though they would last for several more days.

The people of the Sun had been uplifted and inspired. They had survived a disaster and their future was bright. However, Tianming had one more thing weighing on his heart: Yi Daiyan. He looked in the direction of Ebonia.

”You plotted against us, using us to wear down the wonderians, Intrepideans, and Myriadpath Valley, but you never thought I’d kill them all! Are you anxious now? What else can you come up with?” His anger had yet to subside. But now that they had won the war, Tianming and the people of the Sun only wanted peace so they could slowly grow under the banner of the Tianming Dynasty. However, they knew that Yi Daiyan was restless.

”Yin Chen, see what they’re up to on Ebonia,” Tianming said.

”Got it!” A short while later, it continued, ”There’s bad... news news.”

Tianming’s heart skipped a beat. “Go on!”

Yin Chen couldn’t speak fast enough, so it used a swarm of bonegnaw ants to spell out words in front of Tianming. After learning about the outcome of the war, Yi Daiyan assembled five million astralships and is leading five million astral gods to attack the Sun on the grounds that the Tianming Dynasty has rebelled!

Tianming coldly smiled. ”Sure enough, I shouldn’t think too highly of her methods.” Not only had she failed to offer assistance when eight million wonderians had attacked the Sun, she’d also sent them to their deaths. That was the moment he knew her true goal. She wanted to dominate the Infinitum Mundus and eliminate all dissidents. Tianming had once thought that she was profound and mysterious, but he realized she was nothing more than that.

”She’s certainly firm and decisive. We’re at our weakest now, right after such a bloody battle. She won’t have to worry about a fire in her backyard any longer. She’s gathered the entire combat force of the Infinitum Bodhimanda to extinguish the spark that is the Tianming Dynasty.”

It was the best timing for her. If she were to wait any longer, the Sun would rise once Tianming recovered and grew stronger. The Tianming Dynasty had defeated the elites of Myriadpath Valley and Intrepidus, as well as eight million wonderians. And now they were about to face Yi Daiyan, five million astral gods, and five million astralships, a combination that could rival their former enemies, who were less coordinated.

”Fine then!” Tianming’s eyes were ferocious. ”This town isn’t big enough for the two of us.... There can only be one ruler in the Infinitum Mundus—only one of us can live! The winner will control the entire mundus and bring about a new order!” Tianming’s ambitions extended far beyond just the Sun.

If Yi Diayan had fought by his side as agreed, he would have been put in a difficult position. But instead, she had betrayed him and kicked him when he was down.

”There’s nothing more to say. The victor will be decided by a life and death battle!”

Not too long ago, Yi Daiyan was still a mysterious, majestic, and farsighted ruler to him, but now she was just a calculating and villainous woman. Her actions disappointed and disillusioned him.

”You’re the woman that murdered my father and took the Swordgod Lin Clan’s Ancestral Swordheart. I shouldn’t have had any illusions about you!” Tianming was furious. ”Since you’ve decided to not show any mercy, let the Ancestral Swordheart return to its rightful owner!” Fortunately, he’d never fully trusted Yi Daiyan and had always been careful when he dealt with her. Otherwise, he could be dead now.

Perhaps Yi Daiyan hadn’t taken him too seriously in the beginning, much less considered him a threat, but she’d definitely had the intention to kill him after the Sun returned to Ebonia’s side.

Xiaodao and Lin Xiao were fuming when they heard the news.

”How despicable!”

”What a ruthless woman!”

”Her betrayal nearly cost us everything. We survived against all odds, and now she wants to knock us down again! She just won’t let us go”

”I knew it! Yi Daiyan’s a bitch through and through!”

The people of the Tianming Dynasty, who had just been freed of the flames of war, were once again being plunged into the shadow of death and extinction. They had lost too many of their friends and relatives and were tired of war; in fact, none of them wanted to fight.

But unfortunately, the enemy’s army and astralships were at the door. They couldn’t sit back, wait for death, and hand over their hard-fought victory to Yi Daiyan. There was only one way the Infinitum Bodhimanda handled new forces: annihilate them!

Taking a deep breath, Xiaodao said, ”Fine! We have to settle our grudges in the end. Now everyone will see her true face. The more repulsive she is, the better it is for us. As long as we win, Tianming will rule the entire mundus!”

”Yes!”

They gathered around Tianming, their hearts filled with enthusiasm.

”Are you confident?” Lin Xiao anxiously asked, patting his grandson on the shoulder.

”I can’t say for sure, but... I want the Ancestral Swordheart and the Infinitum Stele. Since there’s no avoiding war, then we’ll face it head on. We aren’t afraid!”

Defeating the wonderians and the elites of Myriadpath Valley and Intrepidus had greatly enhanced the confidence of the people. In the face of such a powerful opponent, they were no longer fearful, but indifferent.

”But,” Tianming smiled coldly, ”it’s better to defend and avoid fighting. And when I’ve healed up and recovered my full strength, I’ll kill the witch!” A while ago, there had been rumors that Yi Daiyan was Tianming’s mother. But now, all Tianming wanted to say was go to hell!

He kept the Sky Palace Formation sealed and told Wudi to get ready. The final battle was inevitable.
