Beastmaster of the Ages

The nightmare rabbit wasn’t easy to deal with at all. It was able to quickly zip around and create many clone illusions. The fog around the battlefield immediately intensified, covering the battlefield in pink light. Quite a few inner valley geniuses were hurt by the flashes of pink, and most of the sixth-level cosmic cartographers couldn’t take it at all. Even though the nightmare rabbit looked like a harmless creature, its claws could easily slay lifebound beasts.

”I’m quitting!” Many people immediately knew that they wouldn’t stand a chance and no longer stuck around. They knew that even if they were the ones that delivered the final blow to the nightmare rabbit for the points, they would immediately be killed by everyone else. After all, being defeated wouldn’t be enough to take someone off first place.

Eventually, tens of people left the group and no longer kept up. It was part of the rules that Huang Daoxiong had set up. Now that they had left, they wouldn’t be closing in again. He roared, ”Keep an eye on Li Tianming!”

”Got it!”

Huang Daoxiong had quite a lot of authority among those in the group. The fact that he was so wary of Tianming showed that he was taking the death of Huang Jihuang seriously.

There were only three that remained beside the nightmare rabbit, all of whom were seventh-level cosmic cartographers around the age of two hundred. Their levels were far beyond Li Fan’s when he was five hundred years old, and far above what the Million Mundi’s geniuses were at. The three of them had tacitly agreed to fight it out before killing the nightmare rabbit. That way they could settle who the winner was without having to kill them.

The fight between three top disciples was shocking to behold. There was a totemancer, beastmaster, and specter, and they were fighting with the nightmare rabbit around them. The nightmare rabbit wasn’t that powerful, compared to them, and stood a real chance of being killed.

Tianming watched the situation as the black fog in his eyes began to spread, causing him to lose a bit of control. Seeing their talent was giving him the reckless urge to fight. Since I’m trying to get attention and find a backer, I should be as fierce as possible! Taking first place isn’t enough—I have to do more!

Soon, he made his decision. Let’s go! Using his totems’ onefold simulacrum, Swordheart, he infused them into the Grand-Orient Sword. Thanks to his lifebound beast limbs, he had a powerful specter-like body and could also fire off abilities. Ji Ji’s genesis ancestral nova source permeated his body, further boosting his destructive capability to the strongest he’d ever been!

He split his sword in two and kicked off, launching a flurry of Xian Xian’s abilities as he charged toward the nightmare rabbit. Flashes of pink, black, and crimson blended together as sharp sword projections shot through the astral fog.

”Look there!”

”There’s someone!”

”It must be Li Tianming!”

The rest of the top twenty apart from the top three were watching the show unfold.

”Take him down!” Huang Daoxiong also noticed the commotion. They would never accept having their most exciting battle crashed by an outer mundi disciple.

”Avenge Huang Jihuang!”

”Let’s kill that absolute fool.”

While the others in the top twenty weren’t going to shoot for first place anymore, they immediately charged toward Tianming. Tianming would have to face more than ten peak-tier geniuses at once, most of whom were sixth-level cosmic cartographers like Huang Jihuang.

”All at once, eh? Perfect! I’ll stomp you so-called ‘inner valley geniuses’ beneath my feet to let you all see what the top outer mundi genius is like!” A fierce look flashed through Tianming’s eyes. He charged into the fray without hesitation, abilities firing off with abandon.

”How bold!” Currently, the nightmare rabbit had been forced to stop. Not far away were two thousand or so spectators, most of them outer mundi geniuses. When they saw the elusive Tianming show up, their eyes widened with excitement and agitation and they immediately began cheering for their spiritual leader.

”Myriadpath Valley’s too shameless. They’re sending more than ten people to stop a single person from approaching the nightmare rabbit!”

”Should we help him? He definitely stands a chance against the top three.”

”Honestly, I feel like he’s our representative.”

Right as that thought occurred to the outer mundi geniuses, someone else cried, ”I don’t think he needs us at all!”

”What?!”

Everyone turned to look and was absolutely stupefied. The white-haired youth clad in thick black-and-gold robes shot through the ranks of beastmasters, totemancers, and specters. His arms were raised high, then his swords fell. Blaze, blitz, and many plant abilities continuously fired off from his body. Despite his diminutive size, the abilities he was using were nothing to scoff at. From his left hand came the Sauvastika Sword Formation, Yinyang Boltwheel, Misty Hellthunder, and Soulchasing Hellthunder one after another like an all-you-can-eat buffet!

The specters and lifebound beasts of those that ganged up on Tianming had star counts of two million at the highest. While they had really good weapons and armor, the power of their abilities couldn’t even hold up against that of the Primordial Chaos Beasts that failed their evolution; especially not with Ji Ji supporting them. Xian Xian’s Ghoulface Fiendblossom, Evernight Rose, and other abilities covered the battlefield in plants. While the flowers that manifested weren’t as big or numerous as before, they packed way more punch!

Tianming covered the entire battlefield with his abilities, seemingly unaffected even though he was being ganged up upon. The enemies didn’t even have a chance to deliver a proper strike on him!

Meow Meow’s ability to transform into the Regal Chaosfiend, when used while it was on Tianming’s left hand, didn’t cause Tianming to grow in size. Instead, his body was completely swallowed up by two grand types of lightning, giving him the mobility of the Regal Chaosfiend that allowed him to zip through the battlefield like flashes of lightning. Coupled with the enhanced physical capabilities from Xian Xian and Lan Huang, Tianming became the fastest and most agile cultivator among everyone on his level.

With the added bonus of order immunity thanks to the Order Relic, he was completely unstoppable in the crowd. While others worried about hitting their own allies, Tianming could blindly attack and still hit something!
