Beastmaster of the Ages

Zi Zhen chuckled in delight when Tianming said that. She turned and flew toward Imperator Tu.

Tianming looked coldly at Imperator Long. He knew full well that the greatest pressure currently came from the Adjudicator.

Could his father, Li Muyang, truly deal with the Adjudicator?

“If we want to truly help Father, all of us must defeat our opponents as quickly as possible! Then we can join forces to handle any unexpected developments! Number Three of the Number Monsters hasn’t shown up yet...”

In short, Tianming was anxious.

Everyone had to eliminate their opponents quickly, including the army at the lowest level of battlefields.

His opponent, Yueling Long, looked down upon him with imperial arrogance, speaking domineeringly. “Li Tianming, I didn’t expect you to escape the Adjudicator by sheer luck. Not bad.”

Tianming sneered. “I wasn’t expecting you to still be just as arrogant, self-righteous, and nauseating as before.”

“What?” Yueling Long frowned slightly, not understanding what he meant.

Of course she wouldn’t understand. Because Tianming was referring to Yueling Long, the former elysian child of Heaven’s Elysium in the Grand-Orient Realm. Back then, she had been known as Lady Long.

Imperator Long had at least been superficially polite when they met earlier in the Nullity. But now that all pretense had been shed, she had revealed her true nature just like the Lady Long of before.

Lady Long and Imperator Long differed by only title, yet at this moment they overlapped in Tianming’s eyes.

Domineering.

Self-exalting.

Ambitious.

“Nothing. You just reminded me of a defeated opponent from the past. You’re equally disgusting. Makes me want to puke.” Tianming chuckled, his decapath era godswords shining brightly and eager for battle.

“Boring.” Imperator Long remained indifferent. She looked at Tianming as though he were already dead. “After experiencing the Adjudicator’s power, surely you know your father is marching to his death.”

“What a joke. Even if all of you die, we won’t.” Tianming was buying time for his lifebound beasts to fully recover before beginning hostilities.

Unfortunately, Yin Chen had just sacrificed its bodies so it was out of commission for now.

Even so, Tianming still had considerable confidence.

“Is that so? The sky plunderers will meet a miserable end today after opposing the Adjudicator!” Imperator Long sneered with her twin swords circling beside her. “Although I didn’t expect Li Muyang, it certainly makes things easier if he dies here and leaves Nullity exposed.”

A gleam of triumphant ambition appeared in her eyes.

Aquamarine, Torch Dragon, and Aquamarine had all lost their imperatores, while Imperator Cheng was now a cosmic-god essence. That left only Li Yanfeng, who could do nothing alone.

If the sky plunderers were exterminated, the future belonged to the Yueling Starcage. They would become the imperial clan ruling all Chaos denizens for eternity.

And Yueling Long herself would become the first empress of the unified Realm of Chaos, with no equal in past or future.

“Do you understand? No, you wouldn’t. This is my ambition.” Lightning and flames erupted from her body, even her pupils containing black lightning and golden flames.

“Today, you will die.” Yueling Long’s twin swords orbiting her, Godless South Magma Imperius and Godless North Blitz Imperius, erupted like thunder and wildfire, sending out thousands of sword-ki.

One sword blazed with violent golden flames capable of incinerating any foe, while the other sword crackled with black hell-lightning.

Golden flames formed a vast heavenly furnace, while black lightning condensed into a prison.

Together they became twin universes of blades closing in on Tianming.

These domineering abilities that seemed to be reminiscent of the path of the emperor gave Tianming a familiar feeling.

“So you want to compete in the path of emperors?” Tianming was amused.

Ying Huo, Meow Meow, and the other lifebound beasts merged with him, explosively amplifying his cosmoforce. Then, his decapath era godswords formed a sword formation that swept outward, shattering the universes of golden flames and black lightning.

“Hmm?” Yueling Long had underestimated Tianming. Yet her expression remained completely cold, and she took the form of her constellation, Apex Imperial Constellation!

Imperial authority spread across the battlefield. Countless stars shone brilliantly, each carrying unimaginable majesty.

It seemed as though the stars of the entire Realm of Chaos shone for her alone. Her constellation was an empress among stars, one constellation to rule them all.

It locked down tens of millions of meters of space, all cosmic gods within range like subjects before an emperor, unable to move without permission.

“Now... die.” Imperator Long declared coldly. Her twin swords crossed, unleashing the pinnacle of sword arts, the Sun-Moon Universe-Illumination Blade!

The sun and moon hung in the sky, while the empress descended!

Lightning and fire intertwined, forming a shining strike that cleaved through the starry sky.
