Beastmaster of the Ages

Qitian Xiao raised his high-maniverse-class Myriadpath Divinity, a sword that could easily damage the Grand Myriadpath Ruins. The other three leaders and the old patriarch were equipped with their respective mid-maniverse-class artifacts as well. Yumo Diyan, especially, had the two that he’d once used to bore a hole through the Blissful Union. No eminents would be able to stop this dream team, not even Qitian Muyue, Suishen Jiguang, and Suishen Xiyue combined!

”Let’s go.” Suishen Jiguang looked into the distance with a complex expression on her face. She didn’t think much about Suishen Ranxing coming after her, but she hadn’t expected her father would join him in the attack.

When all hell broke loose, her father still took her brother’s side. Because of that, the eminents of House Suishen also joined in. No matter how unpleasant they felt about it, it didn’t matter; Suishen Ranxing and the old patriarch’s wills weren’t something Suishen Jiguang could change.

She felt nothing but disappointment. She had heard that there was a lot of internal conflict in House Suishen, with many people speaking out in her favor. But in the very end, she was still unable to change the deep-rooted views that House Suishen had adopted for tens of millions of years. It wasn’t a surprising outcome.

There was no way she could feel nothing about the place she had lived for the past two thousand years, or the people she had come to know and love. It was a shame that she would be forced to leave it all behind. Perhaps that degree of sorrow was only shared by the few within the Grand Myriadpath Ruins.

The blinding golden pyramid rapidly flew toward the entrance of Myriadpath Valley.

”Rebels, die!” Qitian Xiao roared, chasing down the ship and ignoring the side effects of the divine toxin.

”Give chase!” Everyone knew that, with Suishen Yao gone, Tianming would be completely free if he managed to leave Myriadpath Valley. Not to mention, the Grand Myriadpath Ruins also contained a large number of foundation caeli! Those were resources that he could use to grow stronger.

The day he grew powerful enough to return to Myriadpath Valley was the day they would be doomed. Neither Yumo Diyan nor Suishen Ranxing had expected the former valley lord’s chains to be undone, let alone the valley lord.

Suishen Ranxing, like Qitian Xiao, greatly desired the Grand Myriadpath Ruins. But now the person he hated the most was absconding with it along with his wife, sister, daughter, son, and daughter-in-law!

He really regretted not killing Tianming during their first meeting. If he could wind back time to a hundred years ago, he would personally go to end Tianming in Skydome. Fueled by that kind of hatred, he became the most hardworking member of the group.

The other eminents of House Suishen followed Suishen Ranxing, though they felt internally conflicted. Suishen Ling, especially, was on the brink of losing it. However, she held back from completely turning against Suishen Ranxing on account of her by-the-books husband. Acting out at a time like this might cause Suishen Ranxing to kill one of them as an example to the rest.

Please make it out of here! Quite a lot of cultivators in Myriadpath Valley prayed that Tianming would be able to leave. The Grand Myriadpath Ruins’ speed in there was greatly limited; major-zenith foundationeers were even faster than the astralship in short bursts.

Fortunately, the former valley lord grew more and more proficient at piloting the ship after fiddling with the controls. The golden pyramid rapidly spun, turning into a glowing tornado that whipped away any cultivator that tried to approach it! Tianming and the others inside the ship were also flung around by the movement; the Blissful Union had moved around without affecting its passengers nearly as much.

”Hold on,” the former valley lord said, his body entirely covered in gold light. The Midsky Myriadpath Stele, the entrance of Myriadpath Valley, was right ahead of them! It had descended and sealed off the entrance. Attempting to leave from anywhere else risked crashing against the twisted fusion formation of Myriadpath Valley, which would be even more dangerous.

Nobody knew whether the Grand Myriadpath Ruins could slam its way through the Midsky Myriadpath Stele, since the situation was without precedent. Nobody would drive a car through their own closed gates, after all. The more the astralship spun, the more it resembled a sword.

”Halt!” Qitian Xiao yelled, his eyes wide. He struck the surface of the ship with a giant sword projection, tearing open part of its divine astralship formation, but there was no follow up as he was sent flying after only one strike. Other cultivators equally had no luck. A divine astralship wouldn’t just sit around and let cultivators attack it.

”Hold tight!” the former valley lord yelled.

”What’s there to hold on to?!”

Suishen Xiyue grabbed her daughter, son, and daughter-in-law and Suishen Jiguang hugged Tianming tight. The Grand Myriadpath ruins rose to its maximum luminosity, turning into a meteor as it slammed into the Midsky Myriadpath Stele!

A loud boom shook the entirety of Myriadpath Valley. Sparks flew as the stele was blown away by the heavy collision! The speed of the ship didn’t decrease at all as it coursed into the void of space like a fish thrown back into water. Out in space, divine astralships were monstrous entities. At full speed, there was no way cultivators could keep up with them.

Within the ship, Tianming and Suishen Jiguang slammed into each other nearly a hundred times from all the shaking, almost breaking all their bones. Tianming felt like his back was about to shatter. But fortunately for his face, he had wonderful airbags to protect him. They even smelled nice.

”Are we out?” Suishen Jiguang saw that he was fine and immediately let him go, much to his disappointment.

”We are....” Tianming turned back and saw the Midsky Myriadpath Stele floating near the entrance of Myriadpath Valley. There seemed to be smoke rising from it.

They had managed to survive another day.

Calming down, he turned and looked at the former valley lord, feeling a new weight on his heart. There was still a troubling problem that they hadn’t dealt with.
