Beastmaster of the Ages

Jiu Jue’s potential was fully unleashed. His astrons ignited, pushing him rapidly toward death, but during this process, the power contained within him skyrocketed until he could no longer control it.

The hundred-odd elite disciples of the Starfall Pantheon, who had earlier collapsed into despair, suddenly found their spirits reignited.

“A cosmic god’s berserk blood!”

“Tombkeeper, destroy him!”

“Yes! He has berserk blood... thank the heavens!”

At the brink of despair, they found a sliver of hope and fell into ecstatic frenzy. Clearly, they had tremendous faith in this berserk blood. Now, they cheered for Jiu Jue’s brave, sacrificial last stand!

“That seems to be berserk blood from a cosmic god! He’s betting his life to stop you!” Bai Ye reminded him.

“Oh yeah? Then I’ll just kill him before he gets the chance!”

Tianming and Bai Ye had perfect synergy. Before, Tianming had fought alone, but now Bai Ye left his brain in a cloud of white mist that spewed Phantasmic Bubbles. This soulstorm swept across Jiu Jue’s mind, shaking it to the core!

Jiu Jue, who was in the middle of burning his life force, immediately found his brain exploding. This was the final blow for his body, which was already in tatters.

“Still think you can take some drugs and keep fighting?” Tianming had no plans to give him time. The Ninefold Hell Sword Formation reappeared once more, but this time, Ying Huo and Meow Meow joined in from his left and right arms, unleashing lightning and fire divine abilities that channeled directly into the Four Cardinal Swordprison, boosting its killing power even more!

This strike was far stronger than the previous!

Bai Ye’s soulstorm had also completely cut off Jiu Jue’s process of burning his astrons.

The Grand-Orient Sword, less than two meters in length, forcefully unleashed a hundred-meter-wide sword formation that struck Jiu Jue head-on once more. This time, Jiu Jue’s body exploded completely and far more thoroughly! The entire hundred-meter-tall form shattered into hundreds of thousands of chunks.

Furthermore, these chunks were still burning away rapidly. Jiu Jue had actually ended up killing himself.

“Nooo!” Jiu Jue let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Tianming didn’t care how desperate he was. If he didn’t leave soon, he’d be the one in deep despair!

“Go!” He turned around, dragging the Skydome Prison behind him.

The Skydome Prison had gone completely silent, losing all hope once and for all. “It’s over....”

“Hurry! The escape route’s been arranged!” Ying Huo said.

“You speak as if you planned the route.” Tianming rolled his eyes.

“That’s right.... It was... Boss Chen... all along!” Yin Chen replied.

Tianming followed Yin Chen’s designated path without a second thought, trusting it completely.

At the same time, he had the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb ascend again, peeling away from Starmoon Haven. With his connection to the people broken, his omnisentient power faded, which in turn slowed his speed.

After escaping a certain distance, Tianming finally asked, “What’s the situation back there? Have they found out what happened in the divine tomb?”

“Getting close... not yet!” said Yin Chen.

It meant that those cosmic gods must have used cosmic sense to purge the nearby insect spies.

“Anyone heading my way?” Tianming asked anxiously.

Though Yin Chen couldn’t get close to them, due to its massive number of bodies, it could still observe from a distance and track those eye-catching cosmic gods.

“Earlier, no..... Now, yes! Run faster!” Yin Chen warned, immediately laying out a new route. It clearly had a good grasp of which direction they were coming from.

“Got it!” Tianming didn’t say more. His heart pounded. After all, he was now dragging along a massive Skydome Prison. He couldn’t let any of them die. Even the crushed corpses of a hundred-plus people made for an enormous target. He was too noticeable.

He had to rely on Yin Chen to preemptively dodge danger!

“But cosmic gods move too fast. If they track me, they’ll catch up in no time....” Tianming deeply inhaled. “We’ve got to find Long Xing and hand these little captives to him. Then things’ll get easier!”

This was still a critical moment.

“I’ve caught... a lead! Wait a... bit longer!” Yin Chen gravely said.

Tianming let out a breath of relief.

“I knew I could count on you, Boss Chen! You’re solid!” Yin Chen’s compulsive work ethic was actually impressive.

Tianming then looked at Meow Meow, who was snoring away...

All he could say was that his beasts each had their own style!

***

The astralship carrying 800 million flameyellow descendants, finally passed through the Starmoon Guard Formation and arrived on Starmoon Haven. Every flameyellow descendant had lifeless eyes and slumped shoulders.

They had long known of their fate. They had fought and resisted, but when facing cosmic gods, the outcome was unsurprising: complete defeat. Now, they had been tightly bound with various chains, with no regard for their comfort.

After all, they were going to die anyway!

They were there only because big numbers sounded better. Whether there were 800 million or 600 million made no difference.

Once they realized this, they surrendered. However, their surrender... was actually fueled by hope.

They had heard of the cosmic god Long Xing. It was a name known to nearly all flameyellow descendants. Despite knowing their true purpose in being delivered was to force Long Xing’s hand.... They still clung to hope!

And during this voyage, another name began to circulate among them: Li Tianming of the Middlekin Star Ruin!

At first, only a scant few had heard of him, via their brethren from Starmoon Haven who had secretly passed word to Wargod Haven via transmission stones.

But in this cramped, enclosed space, where mutual encouragement and desperate strategy brewed, Tianming’s name spread like wildfire. Now, they all knew that he had slaughtered eight million within the Middlekin Star Ruin, exterminating many high-level bloodlines of the Midsky Tristars.
