Beastmaster of the Ages

Even Cang Jue and Mo Guhe immediately acted, but Jiang Xiu’er and Sun Xiaoyue remained in the center of the cave! So when the bloodsoul storm erupted, it had directly swallowed them up.

Tianming could clearly sense just how fierce the bloodsoul storm was from the sidelines. He could only say that those two really weren’t afraid of death.

Sun Xiaoyue was one thing. Being born in Myriadpath Valley, he hadn’t experienced much danger himself. But Jiang Xiu’er, lacking such awareness of danger, could only mean that she was perhaps similar to Fengqing Youmeng, born as the scion of a rex mundi.

Many mundi were much closer to Myriadpath Valley than the Infinitum and Skydome Mundus. Individuals like Jiang Xiu’er were obviously raised with a certain perspective of Myriadpath Valley, and may have even been preparing for the Skyward Ranking since childhood!

In the Million Mundi, as long as they were female, many reges mundis’ children were planned to be sent to Myriadpath Valley. After all, it was several times harder for males to enter, but on the Skyward Path, those gold ring disciples naturally helped Myriadpath Valley select and recruit more girls.

It was obvious they would have an inflated ego after being raised with so much importance.

Thus, Sun Xiaoyue and Jiang Xiu’er were swallowed up by the bloodsoul storm. It invaded their bodies, entering their brains. With their souls not yet at the level of a foundationeer, they naturally couldn’t withstand the soul turmoil. It took only a moment for their eyes to turn red and their faces contorted as if they had become humanoid darkfiends. Their lifebound beasts were still in their lifebound space and were initially fine, but when Sun Xiaoyue and Jiang Xiu’er entered battle mode, they were naturally summoned out.

They were both beastmasters, of course, while Cang Jue and Mo Guhe were totemancers. The women’s entrance into Myriadpath Valley was to leave behind descendants, so they were certain to be paired. That was why Jiang Xiu’er normally wouldn’t be matched with Cang Jue.

Their lifebound beasts roared, their eyes all blood-red.

Sun Xiaoyue’s five lifebound beasts were wrath-eyed blazeapes, each with over two million stars—a very famous lifebound beast lineage in Myriadpath Valley. Moreover, they had compressed their density and maintained a height of just over two meters. Their robust bodies were comparable to specters.

Jiang Xiu’er was a relatively rare plant beastmaster. Her lifebound beast was the moonvoid wisteria, a thorny pink vine similar to bloodline wisteria of Ebonia. The moonvoid wisteria intertwined with each other, making it hard to discern how many there were.

After being infected by the bloodsoul storm, the lifebound beasts also turned into darkfiends. The wrath-eyed blazeapes were already irritable and belligerent lifebound beasts. But it was just the beginning, so perhaps they still had some sanity left and didn’t immediately resort to killing each other.

Once a beastmaster and their lifebound beasts fought each other, it would indicate that they had completely become darkfiends. If they didn’t fight each other, they would seek other targets.

In the bloodsoul storm, Sun Xiaoyue twisted his neck, his crimson eyes soon locking on to Yue Lanfeng and the others below!

”Hehe, ants! Mundi scum! You’re only worthy of groveling before my Myriadpath Valley!” Sun Xiaoyue ferociously grinned and charged straight at Yue Lanfeng and the others, his lifebound beasts infected by his murderous intent, each roaring and targeting the people of Bluemaple Swordvalley.

Jiang Xiu’er and her moonvoid wisteria also stared at Yue Lanfeng, their mouths curled in a grim smile. ”You! So filthy! You can’t compare to me—I’ve entered Myriadpath Valley! I’m the miracle of the Manivoid Mundus! Everyone admires me! My parents are proud of me. I’ll let the descendants of my manivoid race stay in Myriadpath Valley forever! And one day, I’ll return and destroy the Frigidriver Mundus!”

Under the control of the darkfiend mentality, she spoke her mind, even looking at Sun Xiaoyue and sneering, ”Smelly monkey, do you really think I like you? It’s just that there’s no better choice. But... I’ll definitely find someone better! Even better than Cang Jue! There’s so few women in Myriadpath Valley. Those who chase after me will only increase, and when that happens, I’ll dump you!”

She didn’t say it quietly but shouted it out loud enough for everyone nearby to hear. They all felt embarrassed, but Sun Xiaoyue was even more disoriented than the rest. The thing he valued most was the glory of Myriadpath Valley, the suppression of the mundi by Myriadpath Valley. So, under the influence of the bloodsoul storm, he first wanted to suppress the people of Bluemaple!

”This is bad!” Yue Lanfeng and the others’ faces turned pale.

It wasn’t because they were afraid of the eighth-level cosmic cartographers, Sun Xiaoyue and Jiang Xiu’er, but because the bloodsoul storm was still erupting. As long as they were forced to act, the bloodsoul storm would invade their brains, turning them into killing machines.

”We’re finished!” Yue Lanfeng’s face turned pale. He felt helpless, but what could they do? At that moment, he thought of his wife and children still on the Bluemaple, worried and afraid, waiting for him to return from hunting down darkfiends.

”This time, there’s no going back.” Tears flowed from his eyes.

Each of them looked gloomy. They had come to the Darkfiend Den prepared to die, but they would rather die hunting darkfiends than without doing anything after being forced here by these four Myriadpath Valley disciples.

It made them feel that their many years of cultivation had been meaningless.

What’s more, even if the Myriadpath Valley disciples were affected by the bloodsoul storm and came to kill them, they wouldn’t dare to resist. There was still Cang Jue and Mo Guhe above them. If they didn’t die in the end, even if the Bluemaple Swordvalley cultivators only fought back once, their whole faction would be finished.

So, unfortunately, they could only wait for death and bid farewell to their loved ones.

”To die without glory is the greatest tragedy of our generation!” Yue Lanfeng felt despair in his heart. He simply remained there unmoving, waiting for death!

However, death didn’t come! And not only was it absent, but the sound of fighting began spreading out.

Yue Lanfeng’s heart violently trembled. ”Who’s gone mad, daring to resist?!” Death wasn’t terrifying, but someone resisting Myriadpath Valley scared Yue Lanfeng out of his wits. He peered at the blood mist and watched with his own eyes as Sun Xiaoyue and Jiang Xiu’er were intercepted by a young man with fluttering white hair and eyes filled with black mist!

A Skyscorch Wrathlotus exploded and infernal flame clashed with the bloodsoul storm, knocking away Sun Xiaoyue and Jiang Xiu’er, along with their lifebound beasts.

Yue Lanfeng’s heart trembled. ”That Myriadpath Valley disciple actually exposed himself to the bloodsoul storm to protect us....”
