Beastmaster of the Ages

”What’s the meaning of this?!” Xing Tiancheng said, gritting his teeth. ”Are you trying to make trouble? We haven’t settled Baifeng’s death with you yet. Do you really think you run the Middlekin Star Ruin or something?!”

He noticed that Luori Guiyang didn’t want to talk at all. The next instant, a gigantic beast of flames emerged from the Luori’s lifebound space. It was a golden dragon-shaped beast that looked similar to Long Chen’s. It had nine heads, but they seemed even more fiendish and savage, complete with one horn on each head and sharp talons on every claw. They didn’t look like Flameyellow’s dragons, but rather Archaionfiends!

The ninesun fienddragon had an even more imposing name than the goldblitz dragonbat. It was an 18-crest beast, only two short of twenty! Luori Guiyang was likely to have the potential to become a cosmic god. Without question, the fienddragon was the strongest lifebound beast within the Cosmic God Palace. Nine pairs of flaming eyes locked on to Xing Tiancheng as it roared and charged at him.

The three foundationeers had given their testimonies while the seniors outside watched, so there was no way they would lie! The consequences were unthinkable, so what they said had to be true!

”Luori Guiyang, have you gone mad?!” Xing Tiancheng was a deva and believed in his own superiority, despite being a level weaker than his challenger. Still, he had underestimated the killing intent of his assailant.

The ninesun fienddragon roared as its heads shot fireballs filled with golden sand. They were hot and heavy! In almost an instant, it leaped toward Xing Tiancheng with its powerful limbs and bit into his body. At the same time, Luori Guiyang appeared behind Xing Tiancheng and thrust his long, golden lance toward his back with the full force of a fourth-level overflower.

”How dare you?!” Xing Tiancheng finally felt fatal danger! He raged and spewed gray mist from his entire body. Then his sickly form exploded to reveal three heads and six arms, but it was too late! The dragon’s flaming sand had burned countless holes into his specter form and its claws had also begun tearing away at his body! Luori Guiyang’s lance had also pierced straight through the specter nearly a hundred times with flaming astral storms!

”Xing Tiancheng, you crook, you deserve death!” Luori Guiyang roared as he fought with his all.

Xing Tiancheng’s body was punctured nonstop. The ninesun fienddragon pinned the specter firmly on the ground and tore off his three heads and six arms. ”Luori Guiyang, the Wargod Cult won’t let your baseless assault rest!” he howled.

”You won’t let us rest? Baseless?!” Luori Guiyang barked a menacing laugh and went even harder with his lance, piercing three thousand more times and turning the specter’s astrons into mush. ”I don’t just want to assault you and hurt you. I want to end you to soothe my sister’s soul in the afterlife!”

He continued roaring as his lifebound beast’s flaming abilities engulfed Xing Tiancheng whole.

”Your sister?!” That was Xing Tiancheng’s last thought before he died, not having figured out what happened at all. His body turned into gray mist.

”Little Sister!” Luori Guiyang knelt on the ground as golden tears streamed down his face. ”Big Brother avenged you! Rest in peace!”

The members of the two cults that had watched the fight also teared up.

”This is too touching....” Zhong Dan held her mouth.

”How touching! I want a big brother like that, too!” Chen Xiongyu said.

Mo Shen merely snickered, ”Hehe...”

Quite a number of the Wargod Cult’s members had been drawn there by the sound of battle as well.

”Kill them all!” Luori Guiyang ordered as he emerged from the room.

”Yes!” The two cults with larger numbers swarmed the members of the Wargod Cult.

”From now on, kill everyone who belongs to the Wargod Cult!” Luori Guiyang announced.

”Have you gone mad? We still haven’t sought justice for Xing Baifeng!”

”He killed Xing Tiancheng too!”

The disciples of the Wargod Cult were also enraged, but they chose to flee to ensure that they spread the word.

Luori Guiyang felt much better after killing Xing Tiancheng. Not far away, a girl with long rainbow hair came over. She also stood forty meters tall, being Luori Guiyang’s equal. Her skin was fair and pale and her astrons were as smooth as pearls. With a pleasant face and a slender figure, she looked like the staple totemancer. Her colorful hair looked like galactic rivers.

”What about Xing Baiwei?” Luori Guiyang asked.

”Dead,” Xing Yue said, then sighed, ”Even though we’ve avenged Luori Yumo, it’s still a great loss....”

”That’s right!” They had only gone on a vacation, but someone had died! Not even vengeance would be enough to set things right.

”Xing Tiancheng and Xing Baiwei are Xing Baizhan’s cousins. Xing Baifeng also died, so they’ve lost quite a few of their core disciples,” Luori Guiyang said.

”They had it coming!” Xing Yue said.

”Either way, Xing Baizhan’s rather capable, and the Wargod Cult isn’t one that’ll rest after taking such losses,” Luori Guiyang said.

”So?”

”We’ll gather all our people together and stop cultivating. Lives have been lost, so things have changed!” Luori Guiyang said.

”But the galaxy-class order.... It’s a waste if we don’t keep cultivating. We won’t have a chance like this even back at Starmoon Haven,” Xing Yue said. They had access to planet-class orders, but not galaxy-class ones!

”Then we can split our group in half. Have the members of my cult go with me and your cult with you. We’ll make sure that they put their survival as a priority over cultivating. The two of us will keep cultivating with galaxy-class orders.”

”Will they agree?”

”Given Xing Baizhan’s personality, he won’t rest until we die. Anyone that ignores our orders will be killed.”

”True! Sigh.... At the very least, the seniors are watching outside. We already did what we had to.”

”That’s right. We managed to save face. But Luori Yumo! She had such a bright future!” It was a true loss.
