Beastmaster of the Ages

Tianming had fought many wonderians before, but the divine servant definitely took the cake in terms of uniqueness. Even though they had a minor astral giant form, they didn’t have a tripartite soul. Maybe the wonderians made the divine servant using the body of a dead astral god, refined with some unique divine wonder.... It’s a divine corpse puppet of sorts!

It wasn’t a living being. Instead, it was a corpse controlled by many formations, much to Tianming’s relief. However, only living beings could send information. What could the purpose of sending a divine servant to Wondrium be if not to gather information?

Additionally, the divine servant’s divine wonder stood out in a different way. The divine wonders that Tianming had fought before were deployed as formations to encompass a large area of the battlefield. For instance, the evernight whale wonder unleashed countless gigantic whales in the immediate surroundings. Most divine wonders were focused on grand displays of power like that.

However, the divine wonder inscribed in the astrons of the divine servant didn’t outwardly manifest. Instead, the countless divine celestial patterns glowed bright, as if they formed a defensive wall around every single astron they were inscribed upon.

Specters and lifebound beasts relied on astron density to increase the toughness of their bodies, but wonderians were different—they equipped armor onto every single astron in their bodies! That was why the divine wonder didn’t outwardly manifest like usual.

The divine servant’s powerful physical prowess, coupled with their high level, gave Tianming quite a menacing impression. The divine servant, unlike specters, didn’t have abilities to launch. However, their divine wonders had all kinds of modes and transformations.

Most crucially, they were two people in one! The divine servant had two divine wonders, one that surrounded their body with an armor of golden light, and another that surrounded the body with a piercing silver light, making them look like a being made of metal!

It was the first entity that made Tianming wary about fighting in close combat. Usually, he was pretty sure that he was stronger than even specters. But a fist came toward him at a blinding speed. He blocked it with the Grand-Orient Sword, immediately seeing sparks fly.

”What?!” Tianming’s expression immediately changed. The divine servant’s punch had the weight of a hundred thousand mountains, comparable to a planet! Tianming was sent flying a hundred thousand miles and smashed through thousands of huge mountains along the way, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.

Fighters on that level were powerful enough to level entire worlds. Right as Tianming got back up, the divine servant appeared before him once more and sent a kick toward his heart, cruelly and mercilessly!

”Fuck! If it wasn’t for Yaoyao helping me break through, I would’ve died here for sure!” Tianming exclaimed.

”Careful!” Ying Huo cried.

The divine servant split into their separate male and female forms; one kick turned into two before anyone could react!

”Fuck!” Tianming felt his rage surging. He had his lifebound beasts use their abilities against the female divine servant while he used his grand lexicon wonder on her. He then turned to the male divine servant with his sword and totems.

”You might’ve gained more offensive capabilities by splitting, but your defense will suffer!” This was his chance! The thousands of words from the grand lexicon wonder surrounded the female divine servant as tens of beast abilities slammed into her silver astral body, sending her flying with a cacophony of sparks. The abilities reduced the immediate surroundings into ash, charring trees and plants and vaporizing lakes. Even the clouds in the sky had been pierced through.

”Don’t let them fuse back into one!” Tianming roared, then used his sevenfold simulacrum, Pinnacle Swordpath. The path of swords immediately connected with the male divine servant as Tianming used the second fold of the Pentagram Suishen Art, Press.

The Grand-Orient Sword rose high up in the sky with Tianming and fell down like a meteor against the male divine servant, who attempted to block the strike with one arm and strike Tianming with the other. It was a completely expressionless killing machine.

”Push!” Tianming put all his power into that strike, slightly enhanced by a few omnisentient threads in Wondrium, gaining an advantage. He was confident that not even a minor-zenith foundationeer from Myriadpath Valley would easily be able to take down the divine servant.

His attack slashed off the raised arm of the male divine servant. The moment it fell to the ground, it left a huge crater spanning tens of thousands of meters wide.

”Die!” Tianming launched into a rampage to follow up his opening move, unparalleled. He used the Greatsun Suishen Art, Flood, reaping destruction among the stars with a single sword. Anything in its path seemed swept up in a wave of destruction.

Once more, the male divine servant launched a punch toward the sword. While its body was tough, it wasn’t able to endure Tianming’s attack and ended up slashed in two at the waist! Worried that the golden man would fuse back into one, Tianming didn’t think too much and launched more and more attacks to make sure that his target was completely incapacitated.

The female divine servant managed to get a punch in despite Ying Huo and the rest’s attempts to hold her back with their abilities and Meow Meow’s Fiveway Blitzrun evasion.

”Ugh!” Tianming slammed into the ground like a ragdoll, causing the ground to quake and buildings in the surrounding cities to collapse.

It had been a long time since he’d gotten hurt. The spot where he had been struck had completely caved in. Fortunately, Lan Huang immediately used its many abilities to flood the area and mend Tianming’s back using its dragon scales. Any normal human would have been turned into fine powder by that punch.

”It’s her turn!” Tianming’s anger reached its boiling point. Meow Meow used Fiveway Blitzrun in quick succession to help him avoid a few more fatal strikes.
