Beastmaster of the Ages

Tianming could clearly feel Jiang Qingluan’s rage. Angry women shouldn’t be provoked. This was the lesson he had learned the hard way. So, he simply wanted to see what he had planned for him.

Seeing him being so cooperative, Jiang Qingluan humphed angrily. ”Since you married those four imperatores from the bet, you should be able to fulfill your oath to me too, right?”

”Let me hear it,” Tianming said.

”The three of them have wanted to challenge you for a long time. I want you to fight all three of them at the same time. If you win, I’ll let you take that crappy ball of red,” Jiang Qingluan said as her alluring figure turned to the side. From behind her Xing Que, Chen Yao and Chen Hao’s eyes met Tianming’s.

He looked at the three seventh-level primocosmic gods. They were on the same level as Cang Shentu and were taller than seventy thousand meters. Three giants standing side-by-side was quite a domineering sight.

Tianming also felt another weird feeling. It was as if he was meeting old friends that he had been out of contact with for a long time. Naturally, he knew that they weren’t the same as their counterparts in the Realm of Order.

The three of them stepped forward. Chen Yao was the youngest, but most talented, making him the strongest as well, so he was the leader of the three. He stopped not far away from Tianming and stopped, eyes blazing with fighting spirit. ”Li Tianming, even though defeating you three-on-one isn’t fair, we will not show you any mercy!”

”You already assumed that you would defeat me before we even started fighting? Talk about overconfidence,” Tianming said. If this was the case, he was confident he could claim the dazzling radiance from them. He also knew that Jiang Qingluan was making a chance for him to do so. Otherwise, it would be quite hard politically for them to just hand it over for free.

”Li Tianming,” Xing Que said, glaring at him like an astral tiger. ”You don’t know this, but we’ve been waiting for this day for ages. We thought you would never return for the rest of your lifetime.”

”You don’t understand how much we yearn to defeat you,” Chen Hao said, standing tall with a spear. His cosmic-god body emanated a boundless sea of star power.

The three young primocosmic gods were filled with fighting spirit. Sage Chen, Sage Xing and Xue Lan only stood at the sidelines without saying a single word. While most of the seniors had reservations, Xue Lan looked forward to the fight just like the three youths.

Li Tianming had shone far too bright a hundred millennia ago. If Chen Yao and the rest were able to defeat him, they would’ve proven themselves, which would soothe Xue Lan’s sense of inferiority about having a much less worthy son than Wei Jing. It wasn’t surprising that a mother would want her children to be much better than other people’s children.

”How about it? Don’t tell me you are afraid to answer our challenge,” Chen Yao provoked with a cold look.

”Why wouldn’t I be?” Tianming laughed as he felt a hint of nostalgia at the sight of all three of them standing together. Their counterparts in the Realm of Order had been his rivals once, but they were taken out one after another. Far too much time had passed since those days. He had come so far without looking back at all, only to end up reminiscing about old times in the Realm of Chaos.

”Don’t be so hasty to accept yet. I still haven’t stated all the terms,” Jiang Qingluan said. ”If you win this, you may take that broken red ball. If you lose, I want you to kick those four imperatores out and take me as your official wife. Do you dare?”

Tianming wasn’t the only one shocked by these terms; even the seniors were! Sage Chen and Sage Xing hadn’t expected Jiang Qingluan to slip those terms into the duel at all.

”It seems that the grandaunt is raising the stakes quite a lot,” Sage Chen said in flabbergastment. All the cosmic gods in the capital were also going wild.

”Umm...” Tianming was stunned at how out-of-left-field it felt. The beautiful truly were bold in their actions.

Jiang Qingluan smirked. ”What? Is that hesitation I see? You’re unwilling to retire those beauties, is that it?”

”Not really. I’m just thinking that we shouldn’t place romance and marriage as stakes on something so silly...”

”Oh, now you’re calling it silly. What about when you took those four imperatores as wives? Why didn’t you think that was silly? Cut the bullshit. Either accept the terms or go back home empty handed!”

Tianming could tell that this was personal for her. ”Fine. I will face this challenge seriously. But no matter the results, I hope it won’t affect our relationship.”

He only came for the dazzling radiance for this trip. Other things had to be dealt with separately.

”Tell me that only if you win.” Jiang Qingluan turned to the three. ”Go ahead, beat him up and make him submit.”

”No problem.”

”Leave it to us.”

The three of them charged towards Tianming, their towering forms blocking out the sky of the capital! They were all Jiang Qingluan’s admirers and were all from Vermillion Bird Starcage. Yet, the pesky Tianming showed up out of nowhere and made their darling wait for him for a hundred millennia! The three youths weren’t willing to just let this pent-up anger go.

”We’ll prove today that the hundred-millennia wait was not worth it!” Chen Yao’s longsword flashed as it arced towards Tianming.

The battle started without any formalities. Everyone there, seniors of normal citizens alike, watched intently. There were also cosmic gods from other starcages who would no doubt spread word of what happened there in Vermillion Bird Starcage.

”The show’s starting! The Skyplunder imperial son is gutsy enough to fight three of them at once!”

”I heard that he killed the imperial son of Aquamarine. Then again, fighting three people might be more than he can handle! Chen Yao alone is stronger than Cang Shentu!”

”He has no choice. If he wants to claim the dazzling radiance, he has to abide by the demands of the imperial daughter.”

”I do wonder. Will he really kick out his other wives if he loses?”

”If it were me, I wouldn’t be. Then again, the imperial daughter has the upper hand.”

Countless people watched as Tianming faced the three seventh-level primocosmic gods alone. Crimson nova source flames burned bright in the sky, forming shrieking vermillion birds and phoenixes that seemed to be cheering the fight on!

Chen Yao, Xing Que and Chen Hao summoned their respective low-Grand-Dao-class cosmic relics, a sword of stars, blade of flame and spear of stars respectively. In that instant, they executed their Grand-Dao-class cosmic arts. Astral sword flashes, wild blade slashes and sky-piercing meteoric thrusts shot towards Tianming from different directions! Those attacks took up massive space and came bearing down with immense power, causing the capital itself to rumble!
