Beastmaster of the Ages

“Speak.” The marshals all looked over.

“It was the grand lexicon wonder of Ancestor Voidback! The source of all wonders in the universe and also the strongest wonder that your wonderians once longed to obtain...” Empress Xia’s voice trembling with excitement.

“Grand lexicon?” The Mi Shen exchanged glances. Their gazes sank, clearly recalling the name of this wonder from ancient records.

“You mean, this wonder can let someone bypass the Grand Xia Flare Mirror to control the astralguard formation?” Mi Shen Alpha said coldly.

“That’s the legend. I never believed it before, but this is the only explanation now...” Empress Xia finished tensely, then said in disbelief, “But Ancestor Voidback nurtured Tian Jiu. How could his wonder possibly have lasted till today? And passed on to Li Tianming? Impossible...”

At this point, everyone finally understood the truth!

It truly had nothing to do with Empress Xia or Granny Yin.

Mi Shen Alpha said solemnly, “Since the formation is controlled by him, then let’s fully retreat first to minimize our losses. Once we take stock of the situation, we’ll regroup to break through and kill our way out! This Grand Xia Guard Formation is the opponent’s only card. As long as we break out of here, everything outside will be their weakness.”

“It’s unfortunate that we didn’t immediately escape when we first sensed the formation’s changes.” Mi Shen Beta said coldly.

“It’s like we’re attacking an imperial-class world. And even worse, we‘re trapped inside. We can’t do anything stuck here.” Goat Saint’s face twisted. For a young man to do this to them was far too humiliating!

“Not only that. Even if we went out, it would be very hard to return. Our base is gone and we can only use places like Grand Yue as our base. Once the flameyellow voidkin reinforces them, we’ll be in great trouble. Our reinforcements would have to make it through an imperial-class astralguard formation!” An Shen’s voice grew even colder.

It was clear they were already sick of this!

“If we don’t kill Li Tianming, we won’t be able to do anything in peace!”

“Then should we work together now to destroy him?”

“Worth a try.”

They were just about to act when, in the corner, Empress Xia suddenly said in a trembling voice, “Honored marshals... there is still another piece of... not-so-good news...”

“Speak!” Everyone’s hearts clenched, and they all stared at her intently.

Empress Xia braced herself and said, “According to that legend, the grand lexicon wonder can also control the Grand Xia Fusion Formation.”

“Don’t tell me...” Mi Shen Alpha stared at her relentlessly.

“The Xiavoid Stareye might no longer work,” Empress Xia said with a trembling voice.

As soon as these words came out, every marshal’s expression twisted.

“You might not be able to leave and reinforcements might not be able to come either... Of course, that’s just my guess,” Empress Xia said awkwardly.

The moment she finished, Goat Saint’s transmission stone lit up.

“Marshal, the Xiavoid Stareye seems to have shut down!” The reporter was the very person collecting evidence to impeach Granny Yin.

“Are you certain? Try a few more times!” Goat Saint roared.

“We can’t! The entire Xiavoid Stareye is gone, and the entire fusion formation is undergoing huge changes as it appears to be repairing itself. If this continues, the Grand Xia Voidback Hole will turn back into a sphere!” the person said in disbelief.

“What...” The marshals felt they had been struck by lightning. This matter was even bigger than they imagined. They could no longer remain here giving orders. With their power, breaking through the barrier to head down was not difficult.

One by one, the marshals smashed out of the word prison and descended into the Grand Xia Voidback Hole!

“Wait, take us with you!” Empress Xia cried in distress.

Clearly, no one paid them any heed. The flagship blew up and the four’s cosmic-god essences were too tough to be destroyed by the astralguard formation, so they all plummeted downward as well and quickly fell out of the formation!

Behind them, the 1.8 billion-strong Eightpart Pantheons army had already fled in disgrace to the formation’s edge while being chased by Tianming’s ghoul legion and the word prison!

“We’re safe!” The mighty Eightpart Pantheons army tumbled back over the doorstep, each one beaten black and blue... Even now, they didn’t know what was going on.

And now, just as they returned “home,” they heard an even louder sound. They looked over to see the entire world expanding. The shattered world formed of countless celestial patterns was being patched together by vast and ancient words, reconstructing the backbone of a star. It was as if a stooped old man suddenly regained his youth, and straightened his back!

The Grand Xia imperials within this world watched this miracle with wonder and exhilaration!

“How could this be? It’s outrageous!” Granny Yin’s eyes bulged.

“Insane! If this Grand Xia Voidback Hole turned back into the Grand Xia Voidback Star, that would be a miracle in cosmic history! Who could do this? The dead Grand Xia ancestors?” Mi Shen Alpha shook his head. In truth, he looked down on the Grand Xia imperials, which was why he had trouble wrapping his head around it.

Even the wonderians couldn’t do this!

“The problem is, we’re going to be trapped here without reinforcements...” Goat Saint said gloomily.

The Grand Xia’s revival was undoubtedly a disastrous piece of news!

It would be difficult for the Eightpart Pantheons army to share the Grand Xia imperials’ joy.

During this upheaval, the Tian Jiu Cult army stationed in the formation also watched everything below. Tears welled in their eyes...

“Thank you, Ancestor! Only the Ancestor could create such a miracle!”

Within the Imperial Tomb, the pope had just returned with the Ten Paladins and deeply kowtowed to the depths of the tomb.

“What did you say?” an ethereal voice came from within.

“Ancestor, you rebuilt the Grand Xia Voidback Nation! This star will shine again upon heaven and earth once more. Even if it is only maniverse class, it was still a divine miracle!” Mo Lingji wept.

“Ancestor, we have a home again, we don’t need that Imperial Star anymore!” Xing Yuantian said excitedly.

“Thank you, Ancestor! We reverentially bow in gratitude!” The pope prostrated on the ground.

The voice remained silent for a while before finally saying, “Do not thank me. It wasn’t my doing.”

“Then who was it?” The pope trembled, staring up blankly.

That ethereal voice grew proud and said softly, “My man.”
