Beastmaster of the Ages

When the Adjudicator’s blood-red radiance engulfed the starcage, the Vermilion Bird soldiers mentally collapsed, while the Torch Dragon and Aquamarine soldiers erupted in frenzied cheers.

“Adjudicator! Adjudicator!”

“The Adjudicator is almighty!”

The Torch Dragon and Aquamarine cosmic gods, as well as the Vermilion Bird traitors all reached the peak of their momentum.

Prince Liehun in particular was overwhelmed with emotion, tears streaming down his face. “Thankfully, we surrendered in advance. Now, we belong to the Adjudicator’s camp!”

Prince Liehun’s wife gazed at the Adjudicator with worshipful eyes, brimming with fanatic fervor. Though it was merely a blood-cocoon-like sphere rather than a humanoid form, it was the strongest existence in this Realm of Chaos. Power was everything.

The Adjudicator looked coldly at Zi Zhen and sneered. “I want to see how long Li Tianming can endure this. There’s no way he’d watch you die.”

At that moment, an even greater chaos swept the battlefield, more terrifying than the Adjudicator’s own strike. His attack had targeted Zi Zhen alone, but this eruption engulfed every cosmic god in his camp.

Black figures appeared across the sky, blotting out the heavens. What seemed like smoke from afar proved to be over a hundred billion of ghouls who fell upon the Adjudicator’s camp in a frenzy.

All of the enemies were drowned beneath the sea of evil ghouls!

“Li Tianming’s ghoul legion!”

“Gods, why are there so many? We’re surrounded!”

“How can there be so many ten-thousand-meter-tall evil ghouls? This is impossible!”

“Don’t panic! The Adjudicator is here! If Li Tianming dares appear, he’ll only die!”

***

Countless descended into hysteria as they discovered the ghoul legion was far larger and stronger than what Tianming had deployed at the Ruinless Zone.

There were ten thousand ghoul emperors, each equal to a primocosmic god in strength.

Then there were the hundred billion ordinary ghouls, ten times the size of the armies of Aquamarine and Torch Dragon. Though some lesser ghouls were weaker than cosmic gods, there were still vast numbers whose strength rivaled that of the cosmic god soldiers.

Most terrifying of all, the ghouls were fearless in the face of death, relentless until either they or their target was ended.

Compared to the enemy’s chaos, the Vermilion Bird side saw hope ignite and unleashed their fiercest counterattack.

“Ha! This feels incredible. Now it’s our turn to surround them!”

“These evil ghouls are insane! That old Torch Dragon bastard I was deadlocked with just got swallowed alive by a thirty-thousand-meter ghoul!”

“Am I imagining things, or does it feel like the entire universe is on our side now?”

“You’re not imagining it. I feel it too!”

Before, it had been three against two, or even two against one. Now? The ghoul legion had made it ten against one! All the humiliation, all the suffocation from being surrounded and beaten down was repaid in full at this moment.

What thrilled them most, however, was a heaven-shaking roar from the direction where Imperator Lan had fled.

“Li Tianming, you’ll die a miserable death!” It was Imperator Lan’s furious curse filled with unwillingness and hatred.

It drew the attention of every cosmic god in the starcage. Even the Adjudicator immediately shifted his attention.

In a patch of starry space, Imperator Lan, already reduced to his cosmic-god essence, found his path blocked by a seventy-thousand-meter-tall cosmic god.

White hair billowed, and ten divine swords revolved at his side. It was the Skyplunder Imperial Son whom countless people had long awaited, Li Tianming.

“Idiot.” Tianming’s expression was icy as he planted one foot on Imperator Lan’s cosmic-god essence.

The soul-slaying power of the three Sixths fused entirely into the Grand-Orient Sword, which plunged into the cosmic-god essence. “Die!”

Imperator Lan released one final shrill scream before his soul was annihilated. The imperator of Aquamarine had followed his peer, the imperator of Violetblitz, into oblivion.

Countless aquamars wailed in grief, unable to accept reality.

“Impossible! Imperator!” Cang Shanyuan and the other Aquamarine powerhouses stared at the white-haired youth. They had witnessed Imperator Jian’s death not too long ago, never imagining they would so soon see their own imperator fall.

Compared to their high-spirited departure for war, the aquamars all now appeared incomparably miserable and ridiculous.

“Adjudicator? You wanted so badly to see your daddy. Well, Daddy’s here!” Tianming’s cold gaze locked onto the Adjudicator, riding the momentum of one who had just slain an imperator.
