Beastmaster of the Ages

Ming Xingwang was in a completely confused state. The judgment ghoul was in such a state that it greatly hampered his combat capabilities instead of enhancing them. Essentially, he had to fight two foes instead of one!

”You coward!” Ming Xingwang cried out with boundless rage. He didn’t know how Tianming achieved this at all!

”That’s just war for you, my friend.” Tianming was already upon him with a smirk on his face, winding up for the killing blow while he was hampered! He couldn’t afford to wait until the effects of the Sacredstar Spirit wore off.

His Grand-Orient Sword was around a thousand meters in length, infused with the power of ten million chaos swordmaidens. They all turned into divine dragons that surrounded the sword while white soul sword ki emanated from it, making the Galactic Emperor quite the terrifying sight to behold!

Crushdragon Worldfall! The primordial and immortal orders from Lan Huang and Yin Chen gathered in the heavy greatsword. Coupled with his beast-fused body and Ji Ji’s genesis ancestral nova source, he unleashed a powerful slash that caused the storms around them to grow wilder! First, they formed into mountain after mountain. When around ten thousand of them appeared, all of them linked up to form a continent-sized dragon of immense power! The sword strike caused countless worlds to fall along with the dragon’s descent toward Ming Xingwang!

”Curses!” Ming Xingwang’s expression was haggard. He had no choice but to use all six of his arms to hug the Ninefold Hell Cauldron and activate its power to defend against this insane strike. But as he did so, the judgment ghoul continued to ravage his body, causing him to cough up lots of blood.

The sword fell as the cauldron rose! With a great clang, the sword struck the cauldron so hard that the sound reverberated across the entire Ghoulsource. It was so loud that even Ming Yufu outside the altar jumped with a start.

”Break!” Tianming cried as Ming Xingwang’s six arms snapped and broke. Lots of astral blood poured out of the stumps. Then, the cauldron smashed into his back and collapsed it, destroying much of his astral organs. This strike had truly wounded the deva to the core, but Tianming still felt that something was off.

He’s still not reduced to essence form? If the whole set of Life-Death-Crush Dragons’ strikes couldn’t defeat Ming Xingwang completely, just how powerful was he? Tianming charged up his next move right away. I have to end it quickly!

”You’re dead! Hahaha! You’re so dead!” Ming Xingwang laughed manically after using the momentum from Tianming’s strike to retreat a million meters away, smashing into the depths of the Ghoulsource. He was clearly attempting to flee!

”Running, huh?” Tianming flashed like lightning and covered that distance in an instant, reaching Ming Xingwang’s back.

”Huh?” He noticed that Ming Xingwang had charged into a vortex formed from divine celestial patterns out of which many nova source storms poured. It seemed like a doorway that the Ninefold Hell Cauldron had opened up!

”He’s going to escape into the inner part of the star!” Tianming immediately reacted. The battlefield had been within the star to begin with, but it had still been part of the pathway toward the true core, which had much stronger and more numerous storms! The core that the vortex led to was where the storms were strongest: inside the fusion formation itself!

”I have to give chase!” If he didn’t go in, Tianming would be separated from Ming Xingwang by the fusion formation. Not even the Sky Plundering Hand could help him breach a maniverse-class formation at the core of the star!

Tianming didn’t hesitate and zipped into the vortex to enter the fusion formation. Right as he entered, countless storms of various elemental aspects assailed him. Flames, frost, and fulgur streaked across his body. It was far more intense than the storms in the Yin-Yang World!

”Yin Chen wouldn’t be able to perform like normal in this environment, let alone help me chase him down.” Ming Xingwang had indeed found the right place to flee to.

”Hehehehe....” An ominous laughter could be heard in the distance. Ming Xingwang turned back all of a sudden to glare at Tianming. ”You wouldn’t even let me touch my transmission stones, so that means your win condition is incredibly narrow! I’ll admit that you’ve performed to the level that shocked the Eightpart Pantheons, but too bad! This is the home turf of the devas. You’ve lost!”

”You lured me in here in an attempt to trap me in the fusion formation, huh? Are you sure that I won’t be able to catch up to you here?” Tianming smirked.

”It’s not a matter of whether you can catch up to me. Instead, this is a vast ocean of nova source, filled with powerful storms. I can’t even hear you clearly here.” Ming Xingwang immediately turned to run.

Given that their combat capabilities were about equal, Ming Xingwang had the edge in terms of a much wider cosmic sense. The moment he turned around, the shrouds swallowed up the whole place and made him really hard to find. Ming Xingwang was correct. Tianming instantly lost his location, even with him being so much larger in size. No matter how big the rock, they simply disappeared in the ocean!

”Just you wait. The elites from imperial-class worlds will come for you!” Ming Xingwang continued his advance. Within ten short seconds, even he didn’t really know where the white-haired youth was. ”How terrifying.... That kid is definitely someone who can threaten the Eightpart Pantheons! I will render great merit by capturing him. If the Ninefold Wargod really doesn’t return, hehehe...”

Ming Xingwang saw the distinct possibility that he could be made the next starlord. Yet, as he laughed, something odd happened. ”Huh?”

He stopped in his tracks and peeked through the storms ahead, spotting some pink. ”Pink nova source? What’s going on?”

Right as his doubts rose, he immediately realized that the storms around him began to turn pink! What he didn’t know was that the entire Ninefold Hellstar shuddered! The world that had been black in all its history began to turn pink!

”How could this be?!” Ming Xingwang was truly dumbfounded this time around.

Then, a voice came from behind him. ”Anything is possible.”

Great fright clouding his mind, he turned back blankly and saw Tianming standing behind him, glowing bright pink.
