Beastmaster of the Ages

The Adjudicator had effortlessly conjured that blood-colored tombstone as vast as the heavens. Endless crimson light swirled, transforming into tens of millions of blood-red chains that sought to capture Tianming. The tombstone also came crashing down.

Tianming felt his entire body enveloped and suppressed by the blood-tribulation power contained within the tombstone. “This power far surpasses an imperator’s!”

Crimson chains sealed off hundreds of millions of meters, and friend and foe alike were reduced to ash.

As for Tianming at the very center, he suffered a suffocating pressure he had not experienced in a long time! He was crushed so utterly he couldn’t even move a muscle, and his middlekin astrons began to disintegrate under the corrosion of that blood-tribulation power.

“Surrender is not an option.” Gritting his teeth, even as the middlekin astrons throughout his body began to shatter, Tianming fused completely with Ying Huo, Meow Meow, Lan Huang, and the others at that critical moment.

The burst of power allowed him to shake off many of the surrounding crimson chains. Alas, blood-tribulation power quickly reformed, drowning Tianming again.

Countless cosmic gods watched this scene with intense and tumultuous emotions.

“Tianming!” Jiang Qingluan felt as though her heart were being cut by knives.

It was obvious to all that the Adjudicator’s power far surpassed Tianming’s.

“Adjudicator! Adjudicator!”

“Crush him! Pulverize him! Destroy the sky plunderers!”

“Those who defy the Adjudicator shall surely die!”

Those of Aquamarine, Torch Dragon, and the Vermilion Bird defectors led by Prince Liehun began to shout madly. They stared intently as Tianming’s figure became like a fading star, swallowed and submerged in an endless ocean of blood.

“Break... for me!”

Within that crimson sea, a silver point of light flared as countless Yin Chens combined to form the Shining Lucky Star! It exploded, dispersing the surrounding crimson blood-tribulation power.

At the same time, Xian Xian’s Grand Dao Dharma Lotus generated a sacred golden force field that tore apart the crimson tide.

Through the ripped fissure, three little white clouds shot out violently, joining forces to unleash their soul-slaying divine abilities!

“Hm?” The Adjudicator sensed a faint trace of danger.

“A pity the level of your power is too low.” He sneered. Blood-tribulation power circulated through his body once more and the tombstone released crimson radiance that suppressed the three Sixths again. The crimson chains coiled around them.

Just then—

A pitch-black Skyplundering Arm, wreathed in golden radiance, blasted through the crimson chains formed by blood-tribulation power!

“Skypierce Finger!” Under layers of crushing pressure, Tianming was forced to unleash nearly all of his strength. Even as his body broke down, his will had never been stronger!

His Skyplundering Arm now glowed with a fusion of gold and black, both Skylightsteal and the Fiendsky Arm active. His middle finger arose, wrapped in golden brilliance. It pierced through the endless sea of blood and struck the blood tombstone!

It lived up to its name, piercing the heavens!

Cracks began to spread across the underside of the tombstone. Golden light burst forth, filling the fissures and widening them continuously!

Had Tianming’s target been a single imperator, he might well have punched a hole through them. However... The Adjudicator was different. His tombstone alone was capable of killing any ordinary imperator!

The Adjudicator’s expression grew colder. “Not bad. Very impressive! If we had waited any longer, waiting for that elusive and ephemeral command, perhaps you truly would have become impossible to deal with...”

His tone carried a trace of admiration and surprise.

But at that very moment, there was a heart-wrenching cry from Jiang Qingluan. “Dad!”

Tianming’s Skyplundering Eye beheld a grim sight. Imperator Cheng, drenched in blood, was being besieged.

His four assailants sealed off every direction, their gazes cold with killing intent. To them, Imperator Cheng was just a trapped beast with no hope of escape.

Moments earlier, Imperator Ji and Imperator Tu had unleashed their strongest cosmic dao, tearing apart Imperator Cheng’s constellation and throwing his cosmoforce into chaos as his middlekin astrons crumbled.

Blood soaked his battered body, his Vermilion Bird flames dim and nearly spluttering out. Even so, his eyes still blazed with an unyielding fighting spirit.
