Beastmaster of the Ages

From start to finish, Tianming looked at the invaders as if they were mere specks of dust. But that dust was persistently irritating and provoking him.

“Even now, you fail to recognize the situation and still think I’m the weak link?” Tianming was the Galactic Emperor who bore the full power of the Infinitum Mundus and had transcended every living being within the astralscape.

“On my turf, I, Li Tianming, am your ancestor!”

Myriadpath source beasts? Specters? The strongest beastmasters of the astralscape? As twenty-nine combat units charged at him, he stood motionless like a towering mountain. A black-and-gold sword in his hand began channeling the terrifying power of the people. Tianming was at his peak near the Sun and Ebonia!

“Die.”

The invaders instinctively felt fear and unleashed their techniques, desperate to strike a decisive blow. Their strongest divine abilities, battle arts, and foundationeer fortresses obliterated the land around Tianming, aiming to reduce that monstrous entity to ashes.

“Die!” The eminents screamed, their faces twisted in madness.

From a distance, Suishen Jiguang and Suishen Xiyue watched with hearts pounding in fear. They risked injuries to attempt to break free from their opponents and rushed toward Tianming’s side to save him.

However, in the face of an assault that could intimidate even major-zenith cultivators, Tianming remained eerily calm. His tranquility carried a deep disdain and his lips curled up in a mocking smile toward the so-called opponents.

“Heh.” He didn’t let Suishen Jiguang worry for long. With incomparable casualness, he swung the Grand-Orient Sword in a sweeping arc. Pentagram Suishen Art, Press!

He had just learned the attack, and the sword unleashed the full might of the Galactic Emperor. A pentagram-shaped ring of sword energy exploded outward, crushing everything it came in contact with with absolute, unyielding force.

A terrifying sight unfolded. His sweeping strike resembled the explosion of a star and the eminents charging at him first saw their attacks disintegrate, followed by the destruction of 80% of their artifacts, then finally, their own bodies were reduced to bloody mist under the horrifying force.

The eminents let out blood-curdling screams as the white-haired youth standing before them made them feel an unparalleled depth of terror.

Not even the robust bodies of the myriadpath source beasts and specters could withstand the onslaught. They were shredded into pieces and their blood sprayed across the battlefield. Under Tianming’s sword, no head remained intact. The luckiest among them merely had their skulls sliced into ten pieces.

Of course, their ending was still better than the comparatively fragile beastmasters, who only had their cosmic charts left.

The battlefield echoed with screams.

The white-haired youth stood immovable, like a mountain. With one sweeping strike, the charging eminents had been reduced to piles of flesh and blood.

The scene was overwhelmingly terrifying. The eminents who had been defeated, but weren’t dead yet, found their souls gripped by absolute terror.

“Ahhh...!”

“No! This isn’t real!”

“Ugh... ugh....”

Trapped in Tianming’s sword formation with no chance of escape, their spirits shattered. Overwhelmed by despair, they gazed at him with hollow, trembling eyes. The stark contrast between their conditions now and their earlier arrogance was staggering.

“Li Tianming! Spare us! We admit it, you’re the supreme ruler of the astralscape! Please spare our lives. From now on, Houses Qitian and Yumo will be your loyal dogs!”

“Yes! Yes! From now on, you are our master! The Three Exalted Houses will follow your every command!”

One eminent, driven by fear, took the lead. The others followed, abandoning their dignity and pride, clinging to their last shred of hope for survival.

“You want to be my dogs?” Bathed in divine light, Tianming curled his lips into a smile, but he didn’t smile for long. His gaze turned ice-cold as he spat, “I may not be a good person, but your houses have been parasites of the people for far too long. How could I keep such savage dogs?”

His path aligned with blessing the masses. Houses Qitian and Yumo were in direct conflict with the weak. Their way of life and his were irreconcilable.

Tianming’s relatives and friends in the Sky Palace Formation were used to such a display. It was the eminents who felt the world collapsing around them!

Suishen Jiguang and Suishen Xiyue froze in mid-action while rushing over to save him. Their expressions were blank, mouths slightly agape, and their crystal-clear eyes were filled only with the youth’s image.

In contrast, Qitian Muyue and Yumo Dinai looked as if they had seen the impossible. Stunned and trembling, their faces drained of color, their legs threatened to give out at any moment.

“No! This defies logic. No...!”
