Beastmaster of the Ages

Only a small portion of the flames touched Tianming, but they couldn’t break through his stacks of Infernal Shield, Ninefold Chaos Thunderscape, and Mountainsea World.

Primordial Chaos Beasts had no peers when it came to divine abilities.

Yazi didn’t want to accept the result and unleashed another divine ability, Berserk Furnace. Its scales flared up in flames, turning the tomb into a black and red furnace. In the furnace, Yazi was like a tiger granted wings, while Tianming’s Fiveway Blitzrun was affected.

“Ninesource beasts are really fierce!” Tianming merely gave a cold smile, but his target remained unchanged. The space within the lifebearer tortoise was still quite large, and Tianming’s mastery of the Fiveway Blitzrun had reached perfection.

Every flicker of the purple mist brought him to a new position, making Yazi miss its mark several times. Its body that had the combined strength of nine beasts was useless.

Tianming arrived right in front of Qitian Muchen. Son of the valley lord? Myriadpath Valley’s most talented? The top genius in a thousand years? The titles only excited Tianming. As he neared his target, the black-and-gold sword light in his hand burst with divine might. It coordinated with Xian Xian’s Astral Sunflower, slashing out with the Imperator’s Mural.

Qitian Muchen coldly sneered and the Profound Ocean Records crashed down like two vast seas with the intent to block Tianming’s Infinitum Stele.

Sword ki whistled as Tianming’s full-force strike pushed back the Profound Ocean Records, turning it into a meteor that fell upon Qitian Muchen.

“What?!” Qitian Muchen’s expression changed. He forcibly endured the impact, but it caused his blood to churn, sending him flying and crashing into the wall of the tomb. In the first clash, Tianming had actually suppressed him!

“This specter is too agile and Yazi can’t catch him. I shouldn’t be fighting him one-on-one.” Qitian Muchen immediately changed tactics, as his pincer attack hadn’t worked. He had Yazi move directly to his side, standing together in the face of Tianming.

“We’ll keep our distance. Don’t let him defeat us one by one. You stay in front!” Qitian Muchen ordered.

Yazi’s let out a violent roar in response. Its body emitted black-and-red demonic flames once again, unleashing another divine ability. Its pair of bloodshot eyes locked on to Tianming. Behind it, Qitian Muchen intended to suppress Tianming with the Profound Ocean Records, which rumbled as it moved to crush Tianming beneath it.

If Tianming wanted to deal with Qitian Muchen, he would first have to overcome Yazi.

During the battle, his eyes flickered with iciness. “You think I fear your lifebound beast?” He merely didn’t want to be surrounded by both at the same time. Which one went first made no difference to him.

He gripped his sword with both hands, gathering all his power.

As for the incoming divine abilities, Tianming didn’t have to worry as Ying Huo, Meow Meow, and the others unleashed their own. Although he looked like just one combatant, he was actually equivalent to one person and four beasts fighting at the same time.

Tianming dodged the descending Profound Ocean Records with Fiveway Blitzrun and directly faced the ninesource beast, Yazi.

The ferocious beast charged forward. Its Berserk Furnace divine ability transformed into countless snake-like streams of smoke and extended toward Tianming. They whipped through the air, fiercer than any specter. As their fangs aimed to tear him apart, even the lifebearer tortoise trembled in fear.

Tianming let out a cold chuckle as he channeled all his power into his sword. Greatsun Suishen Art, Explode!

The sword art was a perfect match for him. The energies within his body were too complex and too chaotic, and the attack could leverage the mutual rejection between all those energies to create a sword strike with the power of a nova source explosion.

All Yazi saw was a violent sword light tear through its divine ability and collide with its claws and fangs. Its fangs and claws were as hard as high-fortuna-class artifacts; when backed by its cosmoforce and powerful body, even many seventh-level foundationeers would find it difficult to damage them.

But Tianming’s Greatsun Suishen Art cleaved through Yazi’s row of teeth. As the sword passed, its mouth became a mangled mess with teeth and pieces of its tongue flying everywhere! It was the first time Yazi had been mangled like that. It was momentarily stunned, the taste of blood and the searing pain in its mouth overwhelming it. In the next moment, Tianming’s sword exploded with full power, blowing off nearly half of its head.

“Arghhh!” Yazi let out an ear-splitting scream as it continued its charge, still trying to pin Tianming down and tear him apart with its claws! However, its ferocity was no match for the young foundationeer.

With a single sword strike, Tianming knocked the ninesource beast aside, then followed up with a kick infused with Eightruin Dragonshield. The kick resembled the might of a dragon shaking the world as it struck Yazi’s abdomen, sending the beast flying off into the group of women.

The women, who had been brimming with excitement for Qitian Muchen, were caught off guard by the incoming Yazi. The collision sent them smashing into the tomb walls and forcing them to cough up blood.

Tianming’s seamless combo of dodges, sword strikes, and kicks was executed with fluid precision, leaving the Myriadpath Valley beauties trembling with fear. Fortunately, they believed he was at least three thousand years old. If they knew that the one suppressing Qitian Muchen was a hundred-year-old youth, they would have been terrified beyond belief.

In their eyes, Qitian Muchen symbolized the peak of Myriadpath Valley and the potential future valley lord! But that potential valley lord’s almighty ninesource beast had already been sent flying by Tianming, crying out in pain.

The visual impact was tremendous.

Even Qitian Muchen was stunned for a moment. But even though his mind briefly faltered, it didn’t affect his attack. Just as Tianming kicked Yazi away, Qitian Muchen’s Mundane Brush thrust toward Tianming’s face like a long spear with a fortuna-class battle art, One Stroke Shakes the Sky.

Ink splattered, creating layers of illusions. Mountains formed, all of which dropped on Tianming. At the same time, the Profound Ocean Records descended from behind to suppress Tianming. Battle art, One Book Covers the World.

The might of the two simultaneous battle arts was frightening indeed.
