Beastmaster of the Ages

Suishen Xiyue and Suishen Jiguang had endured a long time since returning to Myriadpath Valley. Finally, in the midst of this chaotic battle, they had a chance to clear their past shame and fulfill their ambitions without interference.

Suishen Hongtian had wanted to subdue the women and use them to pressure the old patriarch and his brother. But now that House Qitian hadn’t acquired the Yin-Yang World’s inheritance, he no longer felt the need to bow to them. He would be the one to use the other to seize power in House Suishen.

He unleashed his full might. His ten grandsky world gods erupted from his bane-rings, majestically hovering above him. At the same time, his foundation fortress was so overbearing that many nearby fighters couldn’t even breathe and automatically cleared the battlefield for them.

Suishen Xiyue and Eminent Jiguang appeared insignificant before the grandsky world gods, like ants before a great mountain.

“Hehehe....” Suishen Hongtian sneered, smashing his Grandsource Imperial Seal toward them. “You went through so much trouble returning from the Yin-Yang World, didn’t you? Why didn’t you do the smart thing and stay quiet instead of having a death wish?” To him, the complete lack of family only freed him from weakness.

The Grandsource Imperial Seal emitted a thunderous rumbling that shook the battlefield. Many fighters stopped in awe, gripped with newfound reverence for Suishen Hongtian. Major-zenith foundationeers truly lived up to their reputations.

“Eminent Jiguang and Suishen Xiyue are in danger!” Several onlookers from House Suishen grew alarmed. At that moment, only the old patriarch and Eminent Ranxing could save them, but they were caught in battles with the brother and sister major-zenith foundationeers from House Qitian.

But in the midst of the storm, the two women remained utterly composed. They raised the Onyx Furnace and Arctic Crescent aloft, each gleaming with a deadly brilliance despite being weaker than the Grandsource Imperial Seal.

“Now!” Flames sparked in Suishen Xiyue’s eyes and her fiery crimson hair ignited like lotus-shaped flames that enveloped her body, transforming her into a flaming goddess. Her slender, graceful form radiated an overwhelming sense of majesty. In the center of her brow, her bane-rings, which took the form of a vibrant red lotus, brightly shone.

One redlotus flaregod after another manifested, all with their alluring forms and fierce auras. While they were the same type of totem as Suishen Zhao’s, her superior cultivation level made them countless times more domineering. And among them was her vital origin flaregod, which looked identical to Suishen Xiyue herself.

The redlotus flaregods immediately revealed a brilliance not one whit inferior to Suishen Hongtian’s world gods.

“What...?” Suishen Hongtian had barely any time to react when the aurora nymphs emerged as well, each of them as powerful and majestic as the redlotus flaregods.

Altogether, twenty totems—ten fiery red and ten pink—descended before Suishen Hongtian, all exuding divine beauty and overwhelming presence. And with their orders supporting them, there was no room for doubt that the two women were major-zenith cultivators themselves.

At their level, the difference between the minor and major zenith could be discerned with a glance.

The two worked together to send Suishen Hongtian’s Grandsource Imperial Seal back at him, the resulting impact completely disorienting him.

“What?! No way!” As Suishen Hongtian fell to the ground, the mental blow he suffered was even stronger than the physical hit. “I must be seeing things!” He stood up with a pale face, trembling in fear. He gaped at the two extraordinary women before him, but before he could speak, the two of them, shrouded in ice and fire, brandished their weapons and charged at him.

Suishen Xiyue gripped her smoldering Onyx Furnace, her fury blazing as she led the charge while her sister moved at her side, swift and deadly.

“No! Way!” Suishen Hongtian’s voice broke in sheer disbelief. Though he had accepted his previous failures, his current situation was beyond his comprehension after his personal experience of millennia of hard-won progress to reach the major zenith. He had even long concluded that Suishen Xiyue’s limit was the minor zenith, given her years without noticeable progress.

“Neither of them should be able to do this! How can there be two of them?!” Suishen Hongtian’s heart felt like it was being torn apart. After House Qitian’s revelation, his willingness to persist in his betrayal had been solely based on the scarcity of major-zenith foundationeers, his last remaining advantage. It was his final trump card, the source of his pride.

But now, all of his arrogance had been shattered by brutal reality.

House Suishen had five major-zenith cultivators! House Yumo, formerly more powerful than House Suishen, now had only two. Suishen Hongtian didn’t have time to process what that meant in such a critical moment....

Instinctively, he knew he had two options: immediately surrender or fight to the death. Grinding his teeth, he chose the latter.

“With Suishen Jiguang, the old bastard won’t need me anymore, and his precious daughter despises me. Even if I beg for mercy, I’ll still be dead!” His only hope was to gamble that their powers, as newly advanced major-zenith cultivators, might be shaky, and he could still overpower them.

But... he was overthinking it. Whether he surrendered or fought, Suishen Jiguang was still determined to excise the tumor that was Suishen Hongtian from their house and wouldn’t leave his fate to their father.

“Shameless traitor, prepare to die!”
