Beastmaster of the Ages

Granny Long Ya, Prince Liehun, and their followers looked up to see Tianming descending from the starry sky amid roaring flame dragons, with Zi Zhen beside him.

“So fast?” All the cosmic gods in the plaza were shocked.

“Li Tianming! You still dare to come here alone? Aren’t you afraid the Adjudicator will destroy you?” Prince Liehun roared angrily.

“I’m not alone. Open your eyes wide and look carefully,” Tianming laughed loudly, looking at Prince Liehun with mockery in his eyes. “I didn’t expect you, you treacherous dog, to be skulking here. Perfect, I’ll kill you along with the rest!”

Tianming naturally had no goodwill toward Prince Liehun, whose betrayal cost tens of millions of lives.

More importantly, the man still showed no remorse. He was here working together with Granny Long Ya and had even tried to scatter the dazzling radiances to delay Tianming, hoping to draw the Adjudicator’s attention and buy him time.

Completely incorrigible!

“How dare he! How dare he!” Granny Long Ya’s face filled with grief and rage. She never imagined that Tianming would dare leave Li Muyang’s side now. If the Adjudicator were here, Tianming would have been killed instantly.

But unfortunately, the Adjudicator was not here.

What Granny Long Ya didn’t know was that after his crushing defeat, the Adjudicator had lost interest whatsoever in the other cosmic gods and factions of the Realm of Chaos.

Those factions didn’t even possess a single imperator, and had become something to be discarded.

“There’s no choice! Everyone attack!” Prince Liehun shrieked, fear clutching his heart when he sensed the killing intent radiating from Tianming.

He knew that Tianming would have as much difficulty slaughtering him as slaughtering a chicken.

“Torch Dragon Army, listen to my command!” Granny Long Ya shouted sharply. “Stop Li Tianming at all costs from taking the dazzling radiances!”

Her old eyes were already bloodshot. “The Adjudicator will surely notice a battle. We only need to buy him time to secure the future position of our torchdragonoids! For the glory of the torchdragonoids!”

Granny Long Ya’s shout inflamed the soldiers. The torchdragonids had always been proud and arrogant. But their defeat and the imperator’s death had struck them like a heavy blow.

Now, the pride and confidence that had nowhere to go suddenly swelled again and they charged at Tianming without regard for their lives.

“We’ve all seen the Adjudicator suppress Tianming. He’s nothing but a clown!”

“As long as the Adjudicator arrives, this Skyplundering imperial son will die!”

“They already won their battle, yet they still came here to steal our things. They’re not taking us seruo?”

“We’ll stop them together with our Vermilion Bird brothers!”

Both the Torch Dragon soldiers and Vermilion Bird rebels surged with battle intent.

The Vermilion Bird rebels understood what would happen if Tianming’s level rose further.

“Damn it... I was planning to hide. Once we scattered the dazzling radiances, we could ignore Li Tianming if he came and let the Torch Dragon fools act as cannon fodder...” Prince Liehun looked at the chaotic battlefield unfolding with a pained expression.

These were his remaining loyal followers, and each death felt like a knife in his heart.

But there was no choice. Their original plan had completely fallen through because Tianming arrived too quickly.

The army flooding forward numbered in the billions. Even for Tianming and Zi Zhen, opening a path through the dense legion before them would be extremely difficult.

Meanwhile, troops grabbed the red spheres and scattered in all directions.

“This won’t do. We have to end this quickly!” Tianming felt his scalp tingle. He hadn’t expected so many to charge at him without fear of death.

Endless gray-black smoke poured from his chest. “Xi Xi! I choose you!”

“Waaah!” With a loud cry from Little Eight, a hundred billion ghouls appeared, dozens of times more numerous than the cosmic gods, turning the skies into hell itself.

“Zi Zhen, let’s go!” Tianming took Zi Zhen and rushed directly toward the plaza.

More than a hundred ghoul emperors carved a path forward, tearing apart and devouring over a thousand cosmic gods to do so.

Meanwhile, Zi Zhen’s disgust made her lock onto Prince Liehun. She transformed into a purple fiend and charged forward in a frenzy. A purple streak flashed across the battlefield, every swing of her claws and spikes reaping lives.

Even so, though their attacks posed little threat to Tianming or Zi Zhen, the many cosmic gods successfully hindered their progress.

“Die!” Tianming’s sword formation slew thousands of cosmic gods in an instant. His lifebound beasts also fought fiercely beside him.

They decimated those in their path, and pushed toward the plaza.

“So you’re all willing to die, huh? Then look at this!” Tianming raised the Torch Dragon Starsource up high.

“Torchdragonoids, your imperator is dead! Your Adjudicator has already abandoned you!

“Instead of dying for them, why not live on and preserve your bloodline!”

Torch Dragon nova source circulated and shone across the battlefield, dealing a crushing blow to the morale of the Torch Dragon cosmic gods who had been fighting bitterly against the ghouls.
