Beastmaster of the Ages

”Shut up!” Tian Jue said, glaring at him. How dare he even suggest that?!

Right as they were still in doubt, Tianming suddenly appeared before them and said, ”I will immediately pilot the ship into the formation. We will fight as we advance!”

”Are you kidding? Won’t the formation attack us?” Tian Jue asked.

”No jokes! The formation is ours!” Tianming said with a smile.

Tian Jue grit his teeth, still confused. He hadn’t convinced all of them yet, so an attack under such circumstances was tough.

Right then, a cold woman’s voice rang out in the pope and the paladins’ ears. ”I asked you to do what he said without question. Will you make me waste my breath again?”

”Yes, Ancestor!” The pope immediately announced, ”All forces, prepare for attack!”

The ninety million adherents were shocked and confused. They weren’t even sure who they were going to attack! Then, the next moment, the ship began to advance into the Grand Xia Guard Formation.

”It’s over! Li Tianming has doomed us!” The normal adherents knew that they were working with Tianming, but didn’t know about Tian Jiu, so they were confused. They had witnessed the Eightpart Pantheons’ troops being slaughtered by the formation and imagined that they would be next! Yet, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb coursed through the formation freely and unobstructed. Instead, the flaming words surrounded it and acted as a cloaking shield!

”What’s going on?!” The troops exchanged glances in shock.

”The Grand Xia Guard Formation is protecting us!”

”It looks like we are the true future of Grand Xia!” Back in Grand Xia, they had always been treated as outcasts.

”This is insane!”

Right before confusion broke out, the pope said, ”Stop speculating! We have conquered the Grand Xia Guard Formation, so this is our turf now! Let’s slaughter the Eightpart Pantheons!”

”Yes!” They went wild after hearing their pope’s voice.

”Ancestor Li...” Right as he was about to ask Tianming for the next move, he noticed that Tianming was gone. ”Where is he?”

”He probably left to cause even more trouble. The Eightpart Pantheons initially went to the halfway point of the formation, so it won’t be that easy for them to leave,” Mo Lingji said.

”How do you think he managed to take over the imperial-class formation?” Tian Jue asked.

”Do you even need to ask? The ancestor helped him out, of course!” Mo Lingji said with a smile.

”All hail Tian Jiu!”

Their fighting spirits grew even stronger. Gradually, the ship coursed through the sea of flames and approached the forces of the Eightpart Pantheons. All of a sudden, a dense fog appeared before the ship!

”What’s that?” Many troops of the Eightpart Pantheons turned around and saw countless dark clouds behind them, out of which ghoulish cries could be heard. Beings with terrifying faces crawled out of the crevices between the purgatory they were in, seemingly joining the word prisons in a double beatdown.

”It’s the devas’ ghouls!” That was the first reaction of the Eightpart Pantheons. Even the devas themselves could summon only one ghoul per person, yet there were hundreds of millions there! Hearing it was one thing, but seeing it in person almost made them lose their minds.

”It’s Li Tianming! He’s here!”

”Curses! That brat is really far too bold! He must’ve been the one who got Empress Xia to revolt!”

”Ignore him! Let’s make it out of the formation first. There’s no need to fight them directly here.”

”The problem is these ghouls are coming our way! Fuck!”

The Xi Hwa ghouls filled the defensive formation, completely unimpeded like fish in water. The Eightpart Pantheons, on the other hand, scrambled about like frogs in a pot of boiling oil, easily torn apart by the ghouls in their ranks. Everyone knew that Tianming was there!

”There’s something really wrong with that brat!” An Shen said, looking at the ghoul army behind him. Tianming was his main objective this time around and he didn’t think he would encounter him so soon.

”Let’s leave the formation first before we deal with him.” The marshals didn’t want the troops to suffer even more losses. They were trading the lives of their soldiers against the nova source that the formation expended.

At that moment, Tianming appeared amidst the ghoul army. He had all the ghouls say, ”Eightpart Pantheons, your daddy is here to wipe you all out!”

”That sheer arrogance!” The marshals grit their teeth in rage.

Tianming smirked and continued, ”Empress Xia, Lord Yue, Granny Yin, it’s time to act! If not now, when?”

Those words swept through all the troops in an instant.

”So it was true! They betrayed us!”

”Empress Xia’s the only one who can control the formation, which is helping Li Tianming right now!”

”Did I also just hear the name of the deva marshal?”

The retreating troops were completely shaken. Within the flagship, everyone turned to Empress Xia and the rest. She broke into tears in a panic. ”To prove my innocence, I’ll give up on the Grand Xia Flare Mirror!”

”Ignore her and turn her into cosmic-god essence. Take away the mirror, now!” Mi Shen Gamma urged. Tianming’s attack had come at too opportune a time for it to be a coincidence.

”All of us, together!” They didn’t give Empress Xia any chance to explain. The marshals attacked her, Feng Linxue, Meng Yao and Lord Yue too.

”We’re being framed!” Empress Xia broke down crying.

”We’ll believe you once you return to essence form and no longer have control over the formation!” Mi Shen Alpha didn’t show any mercy and struck. The flagship soon exploded from the sheer force of the attacks. Empress Xia and the others’ cries echoed as their dignity was completely trampled. The fireworks that erupted as Empress Xia turned into essence form covered an area of a million meters around her!

”Didn’t he also shout Granny Yin’s name? Perhaps she’s the real traitor!” she cried after being turned into a sphere.

Immediately, everyone glared at Granny Yin, who said, ”If that’s all it takes for him to convince all of you I’m a traitor, then there’s no hope for us.”

The others were completely silent. Mi Shen Alpha took the Grand Xia Flare Mirror and began to assimilate it. Right then, someone reported, ”Marshals, the devas have begun to fight the rest of us!”

Granny Yin furrowed her brows in rage. ”Why?!”

”They said that some divine wonders attacked them first and caused them heavy losses, and only the wonderians are capable of using divine wonders! Forget how it started, put a stop to it! Otherwise, they’ll go mad with slaughter!”

The other marshals were completely stunned. Goat Saint suddenly snickered and said, ”Let me also add that the formation has never attacked any deva or specter since this whole thing started.”
