Beastmaster of the Ages

Tianming raised his arm, summoning his decapath era godswords in their 200-fold simulacrum. The sword formation that appeared spanned ten million meters and looked like a curtain made of sword ki that surrounded the three giants!

The clash between both sides rapidly intensified. The four cardinal godswords’ power blended with the energies of inferno, blitz, primordium and radix, quickly neutralizing Chen Yao’s sword flash. Then, the sword of life, death, heaven and earth pushed back against the flaming blade. Lastly, the swords of space and time fused together and created a spacetime explosion that sent the astral spear in Chen Hao’s hand flying off, scattering his spear beams!

Tianming had bested them in a single move. The utterly oppressive power of the decapath era godswords had completely stopped their attacks and sent them flying back millions of meters, leaving three scar-like trails in the sky of Vermillion Bird Capital. It looked as if the firmament itself had been slashed!

”How powerful!”

”Is this the Skyplunder imperial son’s true power?”

All the cosmic gods in the city were stunned. Chen Yao, Chen Hao and Xing Que could feel the oppressive power emanating from Tianming.

”He’s strong! Even though he’s only fifty thousand meters tall, he’s able to push back all three of us at once!” Xing Que’s expression turned incredibly grim.

”Cang Shentu died for good reason! Li Tianming is definitely much stronger than when he fought Cang Shentu,” Chen Hao calmly said.

”Constellations, now.” Chen Yao decided on their next move. He looked at Tianming, surrounded by his totem swords, and knew that he had to go all out to stand a chance of winning this battle against his destined rival that he had waited a hundred millennia for.

”Are we really going to defeat him?” Xing Que whispered, ”If we really win, he’d have to divorce his wives and marry the imperial daughter!”

”Are we just going to lose intentionally then? Wouldn’t that give him the dazzling radiance instead? He’d get much stronger and we would never be able to catch up to him again.”

”That’s true...” Chen Yao said.

Xing Que nodded. ”We have to defeat him to keep ourselves above him. It’s not like he’d actually divorce his wives.”

Their conversation lasted but a single moment. The next instant, they turned their attention back to Tianming. Countless middlekin astrons in their bodies exploded outward as they shed their human forms and turned into cosmic constellations!

Chen Yao and Chen Hao had the same constellation: the Three Lion Constellation. Their bodies turned into galaxies that depicted three nebular astral lions. Their immense cosmic power spread out tens of millions of meters as they charged Tianming from both his flanks.

Within Chen Yao’s Three Lion Constellation, boundless sword ki gathered and formed three gigantic astral swords that came swinging down! Within Chen Hao’s constellation form, many spear shadows formed and fused with the three lions, forming a massive galactic lion that embodied the concept of spears itself. Its charge covered a distance of ten million meters in an instant!

Lastly, Xing Que’s constellation form was called the Winged Tiger Constellation. Like its name suggested, it took the form of a tiger with wings. Massive flaming blades projected out from the tiger’s eyes and came slashing down towards Tianming’s head!

The three cosmic gods’ constellation forms were powerful to behold. Had Tianming not made progress before the fight, he would be having a hard time. Fortunately, he was much stronger than when he fought Cang Shentu.

If I use Constellationsteal with my Starplundering Claw, I’d crush their constellation forms in an instant. However, it would also permanently weaken their constellation forms in the future. There’s no need to resort to something so harsh in a spar. With that thought in mind, he raised both arms.

Ying Huo in his right hand used Ying Huo’s Sundering Cage! From the left arm, Meow Meow used Genesis Scourge! The power of aeternal blaze turned into sword-shaped feathers shooting all across the sky. Lightning bolts crackled in great concentration like a huge ocean. Both those abilities wreaked absolute havoc in Chen Yao and Chen Hao’s constellation forms. The astral swords and spears crumbled in an instant to the extent that they could no longer maintain their constellation forms, scattering all over the place!

Tianming’s right leg, packing primordial terraqua power, turned into a rapidly spinning wheel of swords. He fired off Myriadkui Ascension! Lan Huang flew out of his leg at the same time and turned into another wheel of swords. The two wheels tore the Winged Tiger Constellation to shreds!

Tianming’s lifebound beasts had instantly neutralized the cosmic constellation forms of those three! Chen Yao, Chen Hao and Xing Que’s middlekin astrons reformed into their 70-thousand-meter forms. Having had their cosmic constellations shattered, their bodies weren’t in that stable shape either. Cracks had appeared in their galactic eyes that expressed their utter shock.

”How... powerful!” Tianming had fought against three people just with his lifebound beasts! Not to mention, it took him but an instant to shatter the cosmic constellations of all three at once, which meant that they had lost completely.

”As expected of the Skyplunder imperial son. I... I yield.” Xing Que put his flaming blade away and sighed.

Chen Hao and Chen Yao exchanged glances of helplessness. The battle was overwhelming! They were fully convinced of their loss. Meanwhile, Vermillion Bird Capital was dead silent. Everyone looked at the three defeated ones, refusing to believe their eyes.

Aside from Jiang Qingluan, they were the most talented youths in the current generation. From their loss, it wasn’t hard to realize how terrifying the power Tianming possessed was. The cosmic gods had only heard about his power during his rapid rise since his return to the Realm of Chaos, but they didn’t have any solid impression of it. Having seen it in person, they were awed beyond belief.

Sage Chen and Sage Xing looked at Tianming in admiration. They held some kind of hope and expectation in him. Xue Lan, who had been looking forward to her sons’ performance, was utterly speechless. She hadn’t imagined that the gap between their sons and Tianming would be so huge! It could barely even be called a battle.

Soon, Ying Huo, Meow Meow and Lan Huang fused with Tianming again. He turned to Jiang Qingluan and said, ”So, I won this fight, right?”
