Beastmaster of the Ages

”I beg–” The moment Empress Xia looked up, Brokenvoid plunged simultaneously into her head, abdomen, and chest. The ten-thousand-meter-tall cosmic god exploded in a flash. Moran’s growing strength in this war made taking down a ten-thousand-meter-tall marshal a simple matter.

”No!” Wailing miserably, Empress Xia was torn to pieces by Moran’s nineworld heavenly wonder, her life ending in despair and terror.

It was over!

Without another word, Moran returned to harvesting the wonderians on the battlefield

”How do you feel?” Tianming asked.

”Liberated. I don’t feel any pain,” said Lord Yue.

”You’re lucky, you know that?” Tianming said.

”I know!” Lord Yue nodded.

Close by, Feng Linxue and Meng Yao took in this scene. The shock that registered on their faces was even more profound than his.

”Come.” Lord Yue called out to them.

The trio converged in silence and approached Tianming. They all knelt before him without Lord Yue’s prompting.

Finally, Lord Yue spoke. ”For betraying the ancient ancestor and opposing the emperor, the three of us and our clans, deserve death. We’re deeply grateful for the grace you’ve shown us for the sake of our ancient ancestor. From this moment forth, our lives are yours to command, even if it means dying. Grand Feng, Grand Yue, and Grand Meng will serve as your arms. At your command, we’ll move heaven and earth and brave any trial without hesitation.”

They prostrated themselves.

”Alright.” This was the outcome Tianming hoped to see. He knew that the three of them had been completely convinced.

Feng Linxue looked up, tears welling in her eyes as she said, ”You saved Grand Feng but I repaid you with unkind words. My ignorance has offended you and I accept full responsibility. My life is yours to take, if you so wish!”

”Alright, don’t worry. Just do your part.” Tianming pointed at the battlefield. ”Quit slacking, we’re not done yet!”

”Yes!” The three nodded excitedly, staring at Tianming with unwavering belief. Without hesitation, they turned and rushed to the battlefield.

”I’ll go too, Emperor? Ancestor Li?” The pope said after silently observing the scene from the side.

”Get going.” Tianming chuckled. He didn’t stand idly by, joining in the final slaughter of the wonderian army.

”Yin Chen, have they fled?” Tianming asked.

”The news... about Tian... Jiu has... just spread... outside,” Yin Chen said.

”What’s the situation?” Tianming asked.

”They won’t believe it until they see it,” Yin Chen replied robotically.

”What a bunch of stubborn, self-righteous fools!” Tianming sneered.

He saw through their hearts. On one hand, they were unwilling to risk their lives to help the wonderians; on the other, they didn’t want to be seen as the first to flee. So, they chose not to believe that the danger was real. However, the truth would eventually frighten them into flight. Whether they would split up and retreat, or unite their forces and attack Grand Jiang, was yet to be seen

”This isn’t enough to break their spirit or turn them into sheep for slaughter. The Eightpart Pantheons are extremely confident! They won’t believe the flameyellow voidkin can amass substantial reinforcements. They’ll concentrate their forces on Grand Jiang after confirming that the wonderians are beyond saving.”

This was Tianming’s prediction based on his understanding of them. As anticipated, fifteen minutes later, the six factions’ armies converged and headed for Grand Jiang, led by An Shen and Granny Yin.

”The speed of an army across the cosmos is only as fast as its slowest unit, so they can’t move that quickly!”

Furthermore, Yin Chen’s eyes were everywhere. Tianming didn’t think they could cause any trouble. Continuing at his own pace, he launched a final, ferocious assault on the wonderians, covering the area in a relentless bombardment.

The wonderians and Grand Xia imperials trapped in the imperial-class formation perished. No participant in this battle was innocent. This epic massacre had finally come to an end.

On Tianming’s side, the real fighting was done by the 90 million followers of the Tian Jiun Cult. Thus, his losses were negligible, with his word prisons and ghoul army remaining virtually unscathed.

”The first battle is over...”

Tianming lifted his gaze to the dark green figure at the center of the battlefield. Her majesty and magnificence grew by the moment. Amidst the battle, the Tian Jiu Cult discovered that the object of their devotion had appeared. They cried out to her with even greater zeal.

There was no doubt that her power would soar after devouring these 300 million wonderians. Tianming could already sense a power within her that left him in awe.

”The birth of a cosmic marvel...” Huang Qi’s voice suddenly sounded.

”You know her, don’t you?” Tianming asked.

”Of course, we’re good friends. So...” Huang Qi let out a cold laugh.

”So what?” Tianming said.

”Once girls grow up, they can’t be controlled,” Huang Qi said meaningfully.

”What do you mean?” Tianming asked, puzzled.

“Scram! Are you seriously thinking of that right now?” Huang Qi was speechless.

”Heh.” Ignoring her, Tianming strode towards Moran.

The battle had concluded.
