Beastmaster of the Ages

Qing Huang and the twenty eminents finally gave up all restraint. Ten myriadpath source beasts emerged, chasing after the astralship together. In short bursts, eminents were faster than an astralship; escape would be impossible.

Qitian Muyue and Yumo Dinai already considered them captured prey. Yumo Dinai even began negotiating with Qitian Muyue, ”These two will be split between our houses! Since Li Tianming might’ve had a hand in the incident with our eminents, his father is ours to claim!”

”Fine.” Qitian Muyue felt there were likely more possible hostages, though those two were the most valuable. She didn’t find it worth arguing over with Yumo Dinai and focused on securing the hostages.

Twenty eminents. There were ten beastmasters, ten specters, and ten myriadpath source beasts. Their combined might far surpassed Qing Huang alone, and an overwhelming order descended directly upon the Sky Palace Formation. Countless faces turned ashen.

“You high-and-mighty beings actually came to our rural countryside to bully us?” Wudi was furious.

“Bully you? We’re gods descending from heaven! You mortals should be groveling in worship!” Yumo Dinai’s sinister voice echoed like a nightmare.

“Haha, perfect! You trash are about to learn what it means to witness a real god’s descent!” Wudi showed no fear and let out a mocking laugh.

“What nonsense is that?” Yumo Dinai and the others had no idea where he found such confidence.

”I, the greatest genius of our Infinitum Mundus, have already taken action and successfully messed with you. Now I’ll stop and give the younger generation a chance to shine! Next up, I present the second greatest genius of the Infinitum Mundus!” Wudi wildly laughed, his voice filled with mockery.

“The ignorant are the bravest.” Qitian Muyue approached the Gladean Ruins. Qing Huang’s massive form was only good for intimidation; when it came to efficiency, she was faster.

But Yumo Dinai was even faster.

The two were just about to break into the Gladean Ruins when a xenogate manifested in front of them.

”Hmm?” Qitian Muyue immediately felt a premonition of doom. Within that door of swirling dark mist, two familiar and dangerous auras, one crimson, one pink, emerged.

Two names came to her mind: two women she had once disregarded, who now inspired deep apprehension. One was a former adversary, and the other was much younger. Neither had been her match in the past, but now they were as renowned as her. One was even regarded by many to be the next valley lord.

Anger brewed in Qitian Muyue’s eyes as she recalled her father’s injuries, the death of his tensource beast, and the destruction of nearly half of her clan’s reverends and eminents. She owed it all to these two women!

Before she could fully grasp the implications of their arrival, an even more overwhelming presence emerged from behind them that completely shattered her composure.

A gold-and-black divine light illuminated the world, instantly eclipsing the two totemic powers at its side. It was a higher life form, and its descent made even Qitian Muyue feel like a firefly before the blazing sun.

She had never felt this level of terror from any being, not even from her father in his prime. Her father was still the same level of lifeform as her, while the shining star before her was a different entity altogether.

Wudi’s remark became her ultimate nightmare. This was the true descent of a god!

The other eminents and myriadpath source beasts also faltered, halting their pursuit. They stood bewildered, their eyes filled with stunned disbelief as they stared at the portal.

“What kind of... entity has descended upon the astralscape...?” Qitian Muyue’s throat went dry.

Time seemed to stand still.

Within the xenogate, Suishen Xiyue and Suishen Jiguang stood at the forefront. Even though those outside couldn’t clearly see them yet, they had already recognized their opponents. Qitian Muyue, Yumo Dinai, and a total of twenty eminents from Houses Qitian and Yumo. The enemies who had been blood-sworn foes for a decade now stood united in the Infinitum Mundus.

The two women already had many questions after hearing the name “Infinitum Mundus”. And they were even more shocked now, seeing that the ultimate threats to Tianming’s family had come from the top elites of Myriadpath Valley.

“Save them first!” Suishen Xiyue anxiously urged. She felt a great headache; it would be manageable if only Qitian Muyue and Yumo Dinai were present, but there were another eighteen eminents, four of whom were minor-zenith cultivators. They were no threat to the two women, but could devastate the people on the Sun with a single gesture.

More importantly, those eighteen posed a significant danger to Tianming himself! If he ventured out, escape would be his only option.

They had no time for other considerations. They charged out, relying solely on surprise to subdue their opponents. After all, Suishen Jiguang was theoretically somewhat stronger than the other two with her tenfold simulacrum.

Suishen Jiguang anxiously turned back, hoping to pass on a final warning to Tianming.

“Don’t come out....”

And at that very moment, in the vast Infinitum Mundus, countless omnisentient threads sensed the return of their emperor. They rejoined him, turning the entire mundus into a super system. The Galactic Emperor had returned! Endless brilliance gathered on Tianming as one man bore the full glory of the Infinitum Mundus.

“Li....” Suishen Jiguang was stunned, her eyes wet.
