Beastmaster of the Ages

”It’s almost the fourth day!”

”He accepted the challenge, but broke his word. Who would’ve thought that black ring disciple’s character would be so despicable?”

”He was born in an outer mundus after all. He doesn’t understand the weight of honor.”

”When he can’t adhere to even the most basic battle agreement, no matter how well he performed on the Prehistoric Path, I doubt his character. A person with bad character becoming powerful will be a disaster for the world.”

Many specters took the opportunity to jeer, uttering a lot of boos.

As for the humans who had previously favored Tianming, they now felt somewhat embarrassed. Fortunately, time hadn’t completely run out, so they all looked in the direction of the Suishen Cave, patiently waiting.

”Will he come?”

”If he doesn’t come, it’s understandable. Enduring once might bring tenfold rewards.”

”Yumo Yuanni chose such a small Fortuna Arena, clearly intending to kill him!”

Although, rationally, they also believed that Tianming should bow down once, emotionally, they still hoped he could face it head-on and seek a way to survive on the battlefield.

”Heh... scared to death, eh?” On the battle stage, Yumo Yuanni felt triumphant. After sneering, he faced the millions of Myriadpath Valley cultivators, his voice harsh as he said, ”Everyone, you’ve seen the situation. It isn’t that I can’t beat him, but that tainted mongrel doesn’t have the guts to duel me! Therefore, if he dies under other circumstances, it won’t be my responsibility!”

Before Yumo Yuanni defeated Tianming and proved himself, he didn’t dare to use other means to kill Tianming. Otherwise, if Tianming died, he would be an irredeemable loser for life. Today, if Tianming didn’t come, it would be a victory without a fight!

After saying that, Yumo Yuanni felt the resentment in his heart dissipate, making him much more comfortable.

The only dissatisfaction is not being able to personally kill that mundus bastard! And he still gets tenfold rewards... Never mind, if he dies, the tenfold rewards will be wasted! Yumo Yuanni didn’t believe that outside the duel of geniuses framework, House Suishen could protect Tianming forever. The relationship between the Three Exalted Houses was well known to him.

”I thought that the Million Mundi had truly produced some heaven-defying genius, but he turned out to be a coward!” Yumo Yuanni mocked, provoking laughter from tens of thousands of specters. Then he planned to step down from the Fortuna Arena.

Abruptly, a commotion arose at the end of the crowd. The human cultivators quickly made way, and Yumo Yuanni saw Suishen Yao in white pajamas with pink hair fluttering, and her brother Suishen Zhao.

And beside Suishen Zhao was a white-haired young man. He looked calm and extraordinary, and even beside the Suishen siblings, his demeanor was in no way inferior to the minor pathkeepers.

”He’s here!”

”Li Tianming....”

For a moment, many human cultivators revealed long-lost smiles.

”The kid must’ve been delayed by something.”

”I was saying, with his ruthless and fierce personality, how could he be someone who surrenders without a fight?”

Such an astonishing mundus genius on the Prehistoric Path had indeed rekindled many cultivators’ nostalgia toward their origins. Even if the gold ring disciples and saints in the realm didn’t feel it, their ancestors did.

”Ready to die?” The specters put away their smiles, their eyes turning dark and sinister as they looked at Tianming with rising murderous intent.

”He must’ve internally struggled, finally deciding to risk his life to avoid the minor pathkeeper using other methods.”

”Why stick up for Suishen Zhao in the first place if he knew this would happen?”

Amidst the discussions of millions of cultivators, Tianming and the other two directly arrived below the Fortuna Arena.

”Be straightforward and stuff all his bragging back into his stomach,” Suishen Yao said to Tianming, gritting her teeth, her expression fierce.

”So brutal?” Tianming looked up, seeing the Fortuna Arena. Knowing the opponent’s pettiness, he sneered inside.

Yumo Yuanni realized that, inside, he still wanted Tianming to accept the challenge so he could personally tear him apart!

”Come up!” He pointed at Tianming, his gaze iron-hard.

As soon as his voice fell, Tianming’s figure flashed, black Chaos Fiendbolts coiling around him while four genesis Bolt Arrays manifested around Yumo Yuanni.

A thunderstorm erupted and lightning crashed into Yumo Yuanni, the chaotic storm sweeping the entire arena in an instant. Yumo Yuanni was smashed into the edge of the Fortuna Arena, his body crackling with electricity!

”You!” More than his body, Yumo Yuanni’s spirit was greatly shaken. That one collision had let him clearly feel that the current Tianming was fundamentally different from the one in the last battle. If the previous Tianming was a spark, now he was a prairie fire!

Everyone saw Tianming step onto the Fortuna Arena before seemingly effortlessly sending Yumo Yuanni flying. Then he stood in Yumo Yuanni’s spot, replacing him!

What dominance!

What casualness!

The scene shattered many peoples’ preconceived notions from the start! After Yumo Yuanni’s breakthrough, the entire Ascension Colosseum had expected him to suppress Tianming again.

”This kid, he....”

Before everyone could react, Tianming made his next move. He pointed at the Fortuna Arena, saying, ”I’m here, can we start now?”

The Fortuna Arena hadn’t fully closed yet, and according to the rules, they couldn’t fight yet. His impatience, as if he wanted to finish quickly and do something else, enraged Yumo Yuanni, igniting his fury!

”Close!” Yumo Yuanni roared. His body transformed, every one of his astrons expanding. He quickly turned into a hellish fiend with two eyes and six pupils, spiked armor, hair like sharp needles, and a mouth full of fangs. The hellfiend skyghoul was born! It was his strongest form.

Tianming waited for him to reveal his strongest form and for the Fortuna Arena to close.

As soon as Yumo Yuanni finished his roar, the Fortuna Arena’s formation shut. He roared and charged at Tianming.
