Beastmaster of the Ages

The ten billion omnisentient threads were Tianming’s source of confidence.

Thus, he didn’t shake off the three cosmic gods, although he could have. Instead, he let them catch up to him while drawing them away from Yue Mo. This did have the drawback that if something happened to Long Xing, it would be more difficult for Tianming to save him.

“You can’t escape.”

Tianming hadn’t even seen the two wonderians before the Virtue Pantheon specter appeared in Tianming’s range of vision. Her body was wrapped in streaks of golden lightning as she accelerated to incredible speeds.

“It’s about time!” Tianming gritted his teeth and summoned all his lifebound beasts.

“Be careful!” Moran reminded him.

“Mm! Just wait....”

While the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb continued forward, Tianming hopped off the moving ship. Tens of millions of starmoon sword ki beams formed a swirling sea of swords around him. Tianming stood proudly in the centre, his left hand crackling with lightning, his right hand blazing with fire, his left leg blooming with flowers, and his right leg covered in dragon scales, while white mist wafted from the top of his head! Countless Yin Chens also blended into the sea.

Tianming struck a dashing image as he achieved a new peak of power in his life. With ten billion omnisentient threads empowering him, Tianming wished to challenge a starlord! Coupled with the visually dazzling support of the Starmoon Guard Formation, the three pursuing enemies stopped in their tracks.

“Sixty meters now!” The two baby-faced starlords suddenly appeared in front of Tianming. Their big, round eyes narrowed.

“He’s strong?” Qiu Yuan still didn’t quite understand Tianming. What she feared more was the mix of starmoon sword ki and silver insects behind him.

“He’s lured us here. It’s a trap, retreat!” Tong said. The two wonderian starlords didn’t even consult Qiu Yuan before turning to flee.

“What? After chasing this long, now we’re just retreating?” Qiu Yuan was stunned. This was ridiculous; they were second-level cosmic gods!

Even more ridiculous was that Tianming immediately attacked when he heard they were retreating. Starmoon sword ki beams and silver insects crashed down, drowning the three!

Qiu Yuan was furious. “If you two won’t fight, I will!”

That female specter from the Virtue Pantheon let out a low growl, clenching her fists. Her body began to metamorphose. Explosions rang out as her body expanded, as if nebulae were tearing apart.

The elegant female cosmic god grew a massive bull head, while her whole body shone with golden light and golden lightning.

Tianming was dumbfounded as he watched the beauty turn into a beast!

“Cosmic crest beast?” Tianming’s eyes widened as he noticed over twenty beast-faces on her, as well as her power that was indeed twenty times thicker than human beastmasters or totemancers.

“A beast-human hybrid, while also possessing the multiple energy constructs of a cosmic crest beast.... So this is the Virtue Pantheon?” This kind of system was completely different from the devas, who used hell-rings to supplement themselves.

Though the devas were ferocious, this bull-headed woman, cloaked in golden lightning, seemed just as terrifying. It was like a fusion of the Sundown Pantheon’s beastmaster and lifebound beast!

Didn’t that mean she had no weaknesses?

In the next instant, that bull-headed woman had already arrived right in front of Tianming. Her massive golden fist, larger than Tianming’s own head, slammed down. Tens of thousands of golden lightning bolts exploded on her fist!

Tianming used the Triflair Primordial World to block, but still got knocked into the sky, his blood churning from the force! Thankfully, Meow Meow was there, so lightning couldn’t hurt him.

“That’s it?!” the bull-headed woman roared, grabbing a mid-imperial-class weapon, the Nineshine Greataxe. A golden bolt of lightning hurtled toward Tianming, splitting the starmoon sword ki sea in its path!

Her fierce assault meant the two wonderians couldn’t retreat either. The two exchanged a look and made their choice. A moment later, their wonders bore down on Tianming.

“The heaven-earth daochess wonder!” Tianming had long gotten intelligence on it. It was far stronger than their children’s hydroflame starchess wonder.

This wonder formed a chessboard of the grand dao. Each person controlled sixteen pieces, one set red, one set black. They had the standard chess pieces of general, commander, advisor, elephant, minister, chariot, horse, cannon, and soldier.

The chess pieces manifested as rock-like giants, giant horses, giant elephants, and so on, each holding a unique divine power.

“Kill!” Tong drew a sword, the Ten-Mystic Heaven-Soldier Sword.

Zhi held a dark-red silk ribbon. As she danced with it, light and shadow fluctuated unpredictably. Even the Starmoon Guard Formation seemed to vanish as Tianming became trapped in a blood-colored world. This was the Eight-Wind Wondersky Ribbon.

The two wonderians and Qiu Yuan were ruthless in their coordinated attacks, each blow out to kill.

“Not bad! Too bad this is my home turf.”

Despite appearing to be overwhelmed by the Qiu Yuan and unable to catch his breath, Tianming remained completely unharmed.

Then, he launched his counterattack.

Tens of millions of starmoon sword ki beams descended like a wonder, suppressing the heaven-earth daochess wonder with a relentless barrage. And just as Tong and Zhi reached Tianming, countless Yin Chens used the Pentaphase Immortal Prison to momentarily pin them down.

This trick from Yin Chen was one of Tianming’s biggest trump cards in fighting against a group. This quick counterplay left only the specter remaining.

“You’re real cocky, huh?” Tianming suddenly looked up, golden-black flames blazing in his eyes.

He snapped his fingers, and his Skyscorch Desolation chain, reinforced by his wonder, appeared.

Ninesky Tenearth Sundown Lashing, Ninesky Lunar Galaxy!

The Skyscorch Desolation stretched like a river of stars in the heavens, capturing the bull-headed woman. Then, Tianming pulled.

Tianming released the chain and closed the distance!

“I’m on it!” Bai Ye launched a soulstorm at the specter’s head!

“You—!” That golden-lightning bull-headed woman froze for just a moment, which let Tianming open four stargates, dual swords cleaving past. The bull-headed woman fell apart into three pieces.
