Beastmaster of the Ages

Tianming merely smiled at the sight of Mi Shen Gamma’s rage. Tian Jue also laughed as he looked pitifully at the three essences. ”You three marshals might not know this, but these two are lovers. It’s not even a matter of gratitude.”

The three Mi Shens recalled what Tianming had said to Moran earlier and once more felt their minds crumble with realization.

”Heh.” Tianming didn’t bother with them and helped Moran with more word prisons, ghouls and Tian Jiu Cult members. They fought even harder when they noticed the wonderian troops being mentally crushed. What surprised Tianming, however, was when tens of millions of faithful wonderians charged into battle to give their lives, eyes filled with sacred admiration for Moran. It was only a matter of time before the wonderian army collapsed.

”Speed things up! If the troops of the Eightpart Pantheons out there start to notice the wonderians’ sorry state, they might come to cause trouble.” Tianming left the essences of Mi Shen in Tian Jue’s care. ”Come, let’s deal with the final bigwig.”

”Tsktsktsk...” Tian Jue knew the one he was talking about. It was his lifelong nemesis!

To complete his mission, Lord Yue had led Empress Xia away from the central battlefield. However, the cries coming from the wonderian army were enough to alert her about what was happening.

Lord Yue stopped her with a cold look. ”It seems like the wonderians will lose.”

”I’m giving you a final warning! Move aside!” she snapped with a glare.

”My mission is only to keep you here. There’s no need for us to fight. Just watch!”

”Watch? What is there to watch? Do you want me to watch how pathetic the man you defected to will be under the might of the wonderians? Yue Xiao, surely you don’t think the wonderian army is going to collapse. They’re only feigning weakness. Once Mi Shen takes out Li Tianming, the ghouls and formation would vanish! That’s when they’ll become helpless!”

”You’ve been completely poisoned by the wonderians.”

”Yes I am, so what? Yue Xiao, what happened to you? Aren’t you embarrassed by your ignorance? Yet, you strut around in your foolishness so shamelessly. What in the world made you think that anyone can take on the Eightpart Pantheons? Be realistic and admit your own weakness! Is that so hard to do?” Empress Xia said tragically.

Lord Yue fell silent before pointing ahead. ”Can’t you see? The wonderian army really is collapsing. Li Tianming must have made his move.”

”I already told you that Mi Shen asked them to feign weakness to draw him in! Don’t you get it?”

”Those three Mi Shens must be really good at acting then, cause it’s convincing even me.”

”Do you think a brute like you can understand their wisdom?”

”Wow, congratulations then. You must be able to understand their wisdom because you hang out with them now, huh?”

”Even now, you refuse to admit the gap in our might and are deluded about your prospects of victory... Wake up! What kind of brainwashing did Li Tianming use on you to make you so mad?” She shook her head in grief and sorrow.

”That’s right! I’m an expert brainwasher!” A voice came ringing from behind, accompanied by laughter. The young voice made Empress Xia furrow her brows.

”You silly child, you’re always making things up.” Empress Xia smiled and turned around, looking tall and proud at the white-haired youth within the flames. When she ascertained that it was him, she smiled. ”Seems like you’re quite good at running away. You even managed to lead the Mi Shens away without being kept there. Are you trying to gang up on me and use me to threaten them because you think I’m a pushover?”

”Do you think Mi Shen would save you?” Tianming asked.

”I don’t need it!” Empress Xia calmly said.

”No, no, no. Actually, they’re already here to save you.”

”If you keep wasting time you’ll lose the chance to take me hostage,” she said as she crossed her arms.

Tianming really wanted to laugh at her blind confidence, but he didn’t want to waste his breath anymore. ”Tian Jue, come here and bring her the three Mi Shens. Have them perform a proper display of weakness.”

”Hahaha...” Empress Xia laughed incredulously until she saw Tian Jue arrive with three platinum spheres, cosmic-god essences! They were a thousand meters wide, so they belonged to cosmic gods around ten thousand meters in height. All three of them were identical and radiated wonderian power.

Empress Xia felt as if her face was instantly pierced by thousands of swords! It was contorting in the most interesting fashion, looking like it was swelling up after being slapped ten thousand times!

”Come on, Mi Shen, I heard you’re good at feigning weakness. Do it again,” Tianming said, taking one of the essences and giving it a kick. It flew past Empress Xia and stopped in front of Lord Yue, who kicked Mi Shen Alpha’s essence back. He relished the feeling completely.

”Come on, guys! Let’s have some fun!” Tianming, Lord Yue and Tian Jue stood around Empress Xia and began kicking the balls.

”Here you go!”

”Haha!”

”These are great balls!”

”Hmm, they’re rather tough. I thought they’d feign weakness like Empress Xia said.”

”Lord Mi Shen, what happened to your earlier display?”

”Hahahaha!”

Tianming laughed freely as if he had never been that happy all his life.

”Ahem. Well, I think we should be realistic and recognize the gap in our power. Let’s save some face for Mi Shen,” Lord Yue said.

”Save face? I’ll save nothing for these three fools!” Tianming kicked thrice in succession and sent the essences flying towards Moran.

”Those three pieces of trash sure were good at showing off, but they couldn’t even last in a real fight. To think that there are people who would kneel to them... What a joke,” Tian Jue said. Empress Xia began to huddle up in the middle, her face turning pale.

”Oh?” Tianming looked in the distance. ”Oh no, the three hundred million wonderian troops are almost all dead! How will they continue to feign weakness? Maybe they got so into character that they really became weak!”

”Ancestor Li, you’re right! They’re all wiped out!” Tian Jue said.

”Oh no... They feigned so much weakness that they got themselves killed. Someone tell them it’s okay to stop! I can’t stand seeing them so weak,” Tianming said.

”Enough!” Empress Xia glared at Tianming with grief on her face. ”The Eightpart Pantheons will come for you!”

”Oh, you mean the troops outside? They will be wiped out soon,” Tianming said.

”I’m talking about the rest from the Upper Star Ruin!” she shrieked.

Tianming chuckled. ”First, this is my territory. They won’t be able to come here. Second, their turn will come soon.”
