Beastmaster of the Ages

Even though those at Miracle Mountain would only get information after a delay, everyone watching from the Ten Desolate Starforges could see everything in real time. The moment they spotted the three masked figures talking to the disciples from the Primordial Sands, they immediately knew that the disciples of the Eightpart Pantheons had lost their chance to wipe them out. They would go on to retreat to the Ninelives Cave, much to their annoyance.

The spectators blamed all their hatred and frustration on Tianming.

As they were still fuming, they noticed that the masked figures still dared to approach the sword cave with such audacity, causing everyone to start cursing.

”They have a death wish!”

”To hell with them!”

Countless cries like that echoed across every single one of the watching worlds, not that Tianming would be able to hear them.

”It’s fine. Those three are isolated without any allies. Once they run into the seven sixth-level cosmic gods, they’ll die for sure!”

”Their greed truly knows no end. Why would they even dare to try to claim such a super cosmic relic?”

”The worry now is that they have reinforcements. But even so, the Heavenly Dao Arena will let us see everything. At least any help they get won’t be able to elude us.”

”The Heavenly Dao Arena has expanded almost across the entire lower ruins. I doubt there’s any cockroaches that managed to slip through the cracks.”

The spectators from the worlds of the Eightpart Pantheons intensely watched the seven young cosmic gods. Each of them was the pride and joy of their respective factions and were also guarded by many people around them. Every one of the seven factions had left one person behind to watch out for one another.

The ashura’s representative was a youth named Dugu Yao, who was the son of the Cobalt Overfiend. The Skyfiendling had been his elder brother and he was a 68-eye ashura, even more than the Skyfiendling!

”The wonderian sisters are rare same-sex siblings. They’re super popular! Though they aren’t your traditional wonderian pair, they were still able to reach the top ten of the Ten Desolate Cosmic Genii Ranking. That’s terrifying.”

”Their names are Tianhai Yifeng and Tianhai Yixue, right?”

”Yes! That gold deva over there is also amazing. He’s called Jin Mo.”

”And then there’s the Sundown Pantheon’s Yu Hui, Sin Pantheon’s Yushen Gui, Virtue Pantheon’s Man Yueling, and the Starfall Pantheon’s Shao Xingru! All of them are children of maniverse-class-world rulers!”

They were from among the strongest bloodlines in the Eightpart Pantheons. Even though they didn’t have bloodlines that surpassed those of royal lineages like Princess You You’s, they were much older and had much more experience in combat. Tianming was aware of how skilled they were, but he had to go to the sword cave no matter what.

Everyone watched closely for the first clash between the two sides. Even though it was supposed to be a grand battle between the talented, Tianming’s actions had redirected the enemy’s attention to himself. He looked at the seven foes in front of the sword cave and got a rough idea of the group. Dugu Yao looked just like the Skyfiendling, though he appeared much lankier, as if he had crawled out of the abyssal forest depths. His order’s probably related to souls as well. He must be an ashura that focuses mainly on soul attacks.

There was a deva that looked like a solid gold statue. Even without transforming, Tianming had a feeling that he was about as powerful as Yu Qing. Both of them were devas, after all. The most eye-catching ones, however, were the wonderian sisters, twins of the same sex. The fact that they were able to cultivate to their level was incredibly surprising. Perhaps their unique constitution gave them even higher regard than normal wonderian couples. They looked like clones of the same person, appearing completely identical—not that it was any wonder to Tianming, who already had Moran and her forty-nine identical sisters by his side.

Apart from the Three Divine Races, there were also four of the pantheons. Yu Hui was a youth clad in gold armor and Yushen Gui wore a blood-red robe. The other two were women. Man Yueling was a specter of the Virtue Pantheon, blonde haired and blue eyed and standing tall and slender. Shao Xingru, on the other hand, was clad in a robe of stars.

The top geniuses from elite bloodlines were the hopes of the Ten Desolate Starforges. Seeing Tianming appear, they stepped forward to face the challenge.

”So the remnant slave race of the Ancestral World only has the three of you left,” Dugu Yao said, looking at the three of them. The might of cosmic gods was usually clear for anyone to see, based on the size of their bodies. All seven of them were six hundred meters tall, while Tianming’s group seemed shorter and was fewer in number.

”We’re just more than enough to take care of your lot, that’s all.” Time was short! The forces near the Ninelives Cave could come back at any moment, so Tianming didn’t want to waste any words. He immediately charged in to fight according to the plan he had drafted with Zi Zhen and Moran. ”Let’s rush them as a group!”

Tianming and Zi Zhen rushed ahead, with Moran following behind. Given that she had become a sixth-level cosmic god, she was as powerful as those seven and could use Shiming Shengshi’s divine wonders at almost their full potential, allowing her to significantly even the odds.

The two divine wonders shot out, shrouded by purple smog, and formed a world of hazy purple mist all around them. With the wonders deployed across the battlefield, Moran closely followed Zi Zhen and Tianming, using the Trilife Affection to defend herself. As she had only manifested two of her thousand divine wonders and used the rest to reinforce her body, she was physically tougher than even Zi Zhen and could pack quite a punch.

”Kill them one by one. Focus on holding them back while I go in for the kill,” Tianming said.

”Don’t worry,” she curtly answered. Her small form transformed into a beast that surpassed Tianming in size. The purple mask she wore perfectly accommodated her transformation, still providing her with anonymity as she then ran ahead of Tianming.

”If you can’t make yourself angry, think about how lonely you felt in the Ancient Oldgod Domain,” Tianming said.

The moment she heard that, rage surged within her. She turned back and glared at Tianming as four of her ninehall eyes opened, then charged into the enemy. They were all held down by Moran’s divine wonders and didn’t seem to enjoy their current predicament.

”Should we kill them?”

”Capture them if it’s possible, kill them if it isn’t.”

”Everyone from the Ten Desolate Starforges is watching. We can’t embarrass ourselves.”

”Don’t underestimate the enemy!”

”Do it!”

They immediately took action.
