Beastmaster of the Ages

After ascending to the maniverse class, the performance and speed of the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb had undergone a superlative transformation. By the time those cosmic gods emerged, all they could see was a glimmer of starlight in the distance.

However, Tianming was still dangerously close to his pursuers. One by one, the cosmic gods turned into blinding streaks of starlight and joined the pursuit. The astral giants rapidly traversed space, closing the gap with the astralship. They were indeed faster over short distances, so they were genuinely closing in on the tomb.

“Watch out for middlekin stars!” Fentian He had become extremely cautious after suffering from those twice.

However, thanks to its headstart, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb accelerated and eventually slipped into the starry void. Once the gap had widened, the cosmic gods wouldn’t be able to catch up.

At that moment, Fentian He received a transmission. “Long Xing entered Fentian Mound!!”

The message caused Fentian He’s body to erupt like a volcano, spewing bursts of raging fire. “Those two really want mutual destruction, don’t they?!”

The faces of the other eight cosmic gods turned deathly grim. Their fury and resentment were exactly what Tianming wanted to stir up!

He dared to take risks thanks to Yin Chen, as he could know and immediately respond to any changes.

Fentian He and the others could only rush back to Starmoon Haven in desperation. Luckily, Fentian He had also received word that the Yanri Huang couple from the nearby Yanri Mound were already rushing to Fentian Mound at full speed to provide support.

***

At Fentian Mound, countless Sundown Pantheon members were gathered on the streets, looking up at the explosions in the sky and angrily cursing.

“Lowborn slaves are just that—lowborn!”

“And you were still saying Li Tianming wasn’t a slave? Why praise him so much?”

“This time he’s gone too far. He’ll be utterly obliterated!”

The harsher their words, the more repressed they actually felt inside. They couldn’t escape their deep-rooted superiority complex over the flameyellow descendants that was passed down over tens of thousands of generations.

Just as they fumed together, the ground suddenly shook as countless palace buildings exploded into rubble, as a violet-and-black divine dragon crawled out from underground. It possessed middlekin astrons, and its head, fangs, tail, and scales shimmered with cosmic brilliance, each astron containing immense power.

It was none other than Long Xing’s lifebound beast: a violet titanic dragon.

It was accompanied by a humanoid star, shining with black and gold light, that materialized on another street. His long hair flowed, exuding boundless valiance, and his eyes swept over the countless Sundown Pantheon members present.

“Long Xing?!” Thousands were stunned.

Among them was a red-haired man over a hundred meters tall who stood right in front of Long Xing. He was Fen Yang, Fentian He’s father. However, he was only a quasi cosmic god. While his body already bore partial traits of a cosmic god, he hadn’t completed his metamorphosis.

“What’re you doing storming into Fentian Mound at a time like this?!” Fen Yang glared with clenched teeth. Once upon a time, Long Xing had been a slave of Fentian Mound, and at that time, Fen Yang was far more powerful than him. Long Xing had served as his house slave, enduring endless humiliation and torment. It was why Fentian He knew Long Xing so well.

Now, enemies had been reunited.

“What am I doing? Obviously, I came to kill you!” A spear appeared in Long Xing’s hand.

“How bold! If you dare start a war, all ten billion slaves of the Midsky Tristars will die with you!” Fen Yang shook inside as he realized that the cosmic gods atop Starmoon Haven had underestimated the do-or-die resolve of Long Xing and Li Tianming.

After laying down his threat, he immediately ordered all overflowers to attack Long Xing. As for himself, he turned and fled while shouting for his son to come save him!

The gold-and-black humanoid star swept out with its spear, casually wiping out thousands of overflowers on the spot. Long Xing then appeared behind Fen Yang in a flash, and his spear impaled him from behind.

Fen Yang could only scream in despair as the spear twisted and his body exploded.

Meanwhile, the violet titanic dragon charged into the crowd. A bombardment of divine abilities immediately caused mass casualties.

“Keep killing!” Long Xing gave a single command, summoning his totem ki as he joined in.

“How long do we kill?” the violet titanic dragon asked.

“Until Boss Chen gives the order to retreat!” Long Xing gazed at the city and at the Sundown Pantheon, which had once stood so arrogantly there. His hatred for the place could never be quenched.

Man and beast split up, slaughtering all who crossed their paths. Those who had just been loudly cursing now truly understood what it meant to face a cosmic god’s wrath. Never before had a cosmic god attacked them.

At that moment, all overflowers were as fragile as glass, unable to offer the slightest resistance against Long Xing and his dragon.

Finally, they stopped cursing.

Then the screaming began.
