Beastmaster of the Ages

Three cosmic gods raced through the boundless starry sky. Ahead of them, a violet sphere of lightning and fire loomed, growing larger and larger in their eyes.

“We’ve finally arrived.” Tianming looked toward Violetblitz. There, lightning and fire intertwined, forming electric serpents and fire serpents. The power spiraled inward in a stable rotation, yet suppressed some kind of explosive force.

“This starcage also holds a flame-type nova source. Uncle Feng’s firemaples are likewise qualified to rule.”

Li Tianzi smiled. “Historically, Violetblitz has always been home to both lightning and fire races. Sometimes the lightning clan held dominance, sometimes the fire clan did. Through cooperation and rivalry, they’ve maintained this balance for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.”

“Mm.” Tianming looked down, unsure where to land.

“Tianming, you’re still not too familiar with the Realm of Chaos. Follow me.” As a native of the Realm of Chaos, even though this territory belonged to the enemy, Li Tianzi was quite familiar with it. He had come here secretly countless times before.

But this was his first time here to kill an imperator, and that thought made his blood pump with excitement.

Zi Zhen, on the other hand, followed calmly at his side. She also knew how dangerous this trip would be, but Tianming needed her.

Very soon, Li Tianzi brought the two of them into Violetblitz Capital via a concealed path. This was a supermassive city forged from violet lightning, not the least bit inferior to Skyplunder Capital.

Countless cosmic gods wrapped in purple lightning walked the streets.

Everywhere stood lightning towers millions, or even tens of millions, of meters tall, standing so tall Tianming couldn’t even see their summit.

At the very center of Violetblitz Capital stood the tallest tower of all, tens of millions of meters high, surrounded by an endless sea of lightning!

“That’s the Lightning Sovereign Tower,” Li Tianzi said. “It stands in the capital’s most prosperous district. Boasting a history spanning several million years, it serves as the violetblitzians’s central and most prestigious banquet hall.”

“The Lightning Sovereign Tower holds extraordinary significance to them. It’s a moment of glory to be able to host a banquet there. And if one could attend an even higher-end banquet, it would bring glory to their ancestors.”

Tianming nodded. If he used a 100,000-meter imperator as the standard, the tower should have over four hundred floors.

The structure was octagonal, with more than two hundred tiers of upturned eaves. Precious divine ores had been carved into violet lightning dragons coiling around the structure. They looked lifelike and radiated terrifying lightning-type power.

Around the main tower were countless archways, pavilions, and corridors surrounding the central building.

Many cosmic gods who weren’t qualified to enter the main tower would host banquets in the adjacent buildings, which was already considered a fine honor.

“Looks like this is the liveliest place in Violetblitz Capital?” Tianming was still somewhat surprised to see tens of millions of people densely packed around the area.

“There usually aren’t this many people.” Li Tianzi shook his head. “Something must be happening over there. Who knows, maybe it’s related to us.”

Lightning Sovereign Tower looked grand and not far away.

But in reality, they would still take quite some time to reach that place. Violetblitz Capital was simply too vast. They could see Lightning Sovereign Tower from so far away only because of its immense size.

***

At Lightning Sovereign Tower, the commercial core and most prosperous area of Violetblitz Capital was extremely lively today.

The key reason was that today Lin Xiaoting and Long Xuanzhao, the two imperial sons, were hosting a banquet for Imperator Ji and Imperator Tu!

Within a radius of tens of millions of meters, people could vaguely see that in the topmost pavilion, numerous top-tier cosmic gods were raising cups, composing poetry, and enjoying themselves immensely.

There was the apex of their race, any able to participate in that banquet without exception among the most powerful figures in the entire Violetblitz.

The whole banquet was lofty and grand.

Though outsiders couldn’t see clearly amid the flashing lightning, they could imagine the scenes of indulgence and drunken revelry inside.

Soft, decadent music even drifted out from time to time, stirring countless people’s imaginations.

In addition to the violetblitzians, quite a few torchdragonoids and aquamars had also come to watch the top floor of Lightning Sovereign Tower from afar!

“Hahaha, wasn’t that Skyplunder little imperial son supposed to be amazing? Why are his wives here, drinking and having fun with our imperial sons?”

“Drinking and having fun? I heard our imperial sons have already conquered those two imperatores!”

“Our imperial sons are truly bold. That Skyplunder imperial son is just a useless cuckold.”

“Heh, I heard that Li Muyang once made a bet that the four female imperatores would bear children?”

“That’s right, I heard it too. But who knows whose children they’ll be at this point!”

“That’s easy. If the child has ‘lightning patterns,’ then it’s our Violetblitz imperial son’s. If it has ‘fire patterns,’ then it’s the Torch Dragon imperial son’s. Isn’t that obvious?”

“True, hahaha—anyway, it definitely won’t be Li Tianming’s!”

The violetblitzians were the most swollen with confidence. After all, this was their home ground they had lived in for countless years.

The torchdragonoids were equally proud that their imperial son Long Xuanzhao was also involved with one of the Yueling female imperatores. Didn’t that symbolize how bold and capable the men of their torchdragonoids were?

Some aquamars had come with hatred, since their imperial son Cang Shentu had already died at Tianming’s hands. Seeing Tianming’s formally wedded wives being ambiguous with other men filled them with indescribable satisfaction!

These ordinary cosmic gods naturally didn’t think about strategies or acting. For them, they simply wanted to vent their pride, arrogance, or hatred.

However, unlike the heated, noisy atmosphere outside...

Inside the highest pavilion of the tower, the atmosphere was quite normal, not at all as “depraved” as many of the common people imagined.

Aside from Lin Xiaoting, Long Xuanzhao, Imperator Ji, and Imperator Tu, there were also many guests from the three races. Among them were Cang Shentu’s former protector Cang Shanyuan, and Long Xuanzhao’s protector Granny Longya, both top-tier powerhouses of the Realm of Chaos.

They were all rather solemn.
