Beastmaster of the Ages

Tianming didn’t even have time to ponder on that as the ten photonic regalfiends suddenly charged toward Yi Daiyan and began transforming.

”Sevenfold Simulacrum, Decadazzle Crystalight.” Upon her cold voice, the regalfiends’ dresses fluttered apart. Their bodies turned into colorful galactic ribbons and shrank until they surrounded her body.

Ten dense astral loti circled around her, and eventually the sword flash in her hand. Then the totems locked the sword flash of the Infinitum Stele into place and fused with it! Even though it wasn’t as perfect as Tianming’s onefold simulacrum and his sword, it was more of a cooperative effort. The totems and Infinitum Stele had different abilities, but the fact that they could complement each other at all was nothing to scoff at. Even without all that, the Infinitum Stele was already more powerful than the Grand-Orient Sword to begin with, while her totems were stronger than Tianming’s, even taking his omnisentient power into account!

”She has a sevenfold simulacrum?!” Tianming was flabbergasted. He knew that the only reason he stood a chance against her was thanks to his omnisentient power. Otherwise, no cosmic cartographer could possibly measure up. His power wouldn’t be far from Fengqing Youmeng’s, normally speaking.

Without waiting for him to react, Yi Daiyan let her sword ki surge, causing her surroundings to hiss. Like a fiend, she seemed to pierce space itself with her sword flash. The Decadazzle Crystalight turned into galactic rivers of color as she used an infinitum-class sword art against Tianming for a fatal blow! Her might and ruthlessness made for a harrowing combination.

”Die!” Yushan Taifeng and the others cheered at what they saw. The ones on Tianming’s side, on the other hand, held their breaths from nervousness. They were feeling the pressure of the five million enemy astral gods.

Tianming started to feel his scalp turn numb, but he didn’t cower. He still carried the hopes and faith of his people! Fusing the Grand-Orient Sword back into one, he felt an incoming surge of omnisentient power. He split some to his lifebound beasts, totems, and divine wonder, then gathered them all together and became one with his sword!

With six consecutive clashes, the figures of the six flameyellow divinity imperatores appeared behind Tianming, glowing even brighter than Yi Daiyan’s totems. Tianming was covered in flames, his hair fluttering as he pointed his huge sword at the sky. The first wave of attacks he unleashed toward Yi Daiyan were composed of his divine wonder and lifebound beast’s abilities, followed by the Imperator’s Mural!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the battlefield and his fearless and decisive courage seemed to shake the five million astral gods. Some of them were overwhelmed by his aura and immediately shut their mouths.

The two white-haired figures clashed again, with even more intensity than before! Each time the cosmic artifacts struck each other, a deafening clang rang out. The clash between cosmic impulse and cosmoforce damaged the battlefield rather severely.

People could tell that Yi Daiyan still had the upper hand. The totem-simulacrum-enhanced black-and-gold sword flash easily broke through the fusion strike of Imperator’s Mural. Then it continued on, tearing through the abilities, divine wonder, and sword formation to hit Tianming!

”Waaaah!” The sight of seeing Tianming about to be vaporized by that attack caused a loud gasp to echo throughout the Sky Palace Formation. Some felt like their hearts were about to jump out of their throats. ”Emperor!”

But just as people lost their voices with worry, Yi Daiyan’s sword suddenly swerved upward and pointed to the sky. Her power merely brushed past Tianming without actually harming him. People immediately wondered if she had held back, but in the next instant, a silver flash appeared in Tianming’s eyes.

All of a sudden, a silver egg so big that its true size couldn’t be properly judged turned into a gigantic silver cockroach! As it appeared, sword marks appeared all over the surface of the egg, but they vanished when it took its cockroach form. Every surface on its body was smooth and polished, not to mention tough!

It shone too bright, even more than Lan Huang had in the past. Yin Chen’s appearance drew the limelight like never before! It had blocked the strike right before it hit Tianming. It was a fusion of nine hundred billion bodies and had basically compressed itself that many times! To create this body, it had consumed all the divine ore veins in the Sun and the former territories of the Swordgod Lin Clan in Ebonia. That was enough material to build tens of cities, and all of it had been consumed in the forging of this body,

Tianming saw only mild scratches on Yin Chen where the Infinitum Stele had struck. It was still far from being destroyed! The gigantic silver cockroach flapped its blade-like wings, glaring at Yi Daiyan with its tri-horned head while it firmly dug its legs in. It was immovable now, but it would be unstoppable when it charged ahead!

Yin Chen had a star count of 9.99 million and had never played such a huge role in combat before. Once more, the silent Sky Palace Formation began rumbling with endless cheers. ”All hail Emperor Tianming!”

The Sun’s impetus continued pushing Tianming along, causing his aura to rise. His eyes seemed even more intense than before and the five million enemy astral gods couldn’t help but take a few steps back, including Yushan Taifeng and the other leaders. They felt a fire burning in their throats that they didn’t dare to spit out or swallow.

”Rex Mundi!” All they could do was pray that Yi Daiyan could regain the upper hand. As they watched, she appeared in front of Tianming once more, glaring at Yin Chen with her colorful eyes, then at the black-and-gold sword flash in her hand that was surrounded by Decadazzle Crystalight, recalling that her fatal strike had barely even damaged the insect before her. It had been among her strongest attacks! Her expression turned colder and even a bit more twisted and venomous.
