Beastmaster of the Ages

Imperator Yinne, Imperator Lan, and Imperator Yan, carrying the two world cores of Deva Imperius, regrouped with Imperator Mo.

They couldn’t help but laugh after noticing the new arrival. As they saw it, Zi Zhen posed no threat to them.

They only cared that this meant Li Tianming might have come as well.

“Li Tianming is here too,” Imperator Yinne said coldly.

“Indeed. Pass the word to Imperator Shen.” Imperator Mo ordered a subordinate, “Tell them that Li Tianming’s purple-haired specter has appeared at Deva Imperius. The Flameyellow front can make their move.”

At this moment, every single person’s attention was on Zi Zhen!

The purple-haired woman only appeared to be eighty-thousand-meters tall. She was even smaller than Yingsang Daiqiong, so no deva believed she could turn the course of the battle.

As for the five-pantheon alliance and the four remaining imperatores, they merely sneered. They were scanning their surroundings, trying to find Li Tianming.

In the midst of a heated battle, the Eight-Armed Specter King glanced back. Seeing Zi Zhen gave him a complicated expression.

His fellow devas felt no surge of joy either. Zi Zhen’s arrival was no beacon of hope to them.

“She’s Li Tianming’s woman! If she’s here, he wouldn’t send her alone to die, right?”

“He should be here—just hiding somewhere for now?”

“I think we’re overthinking it. Li Tianming has to defend the Flameyellow Imperial Star!”

“Exactly. If he came here, Flameyellow would fall to Imperator Shen and the wonderians...”

“We don’t matter to him at all!”

“I agree. This purple-haired specter is probably just here to make an appearance...”

“How disgusting. Our imperator must’ve been blind to choose Li Tianming as an ally!”

The devas murmured among themselves.

Even Yingsang Daiqiong saw no light of hope. Caught by the accursed eagle beast, she had already lost any hope of survival. She looked at Zi Zhen calmly, for her heart was already as lifeless as ashes.

Only Imperator Yin right next to her, could sense the terrifying specter power emanating from her!

Zi Zhen moved.

Her form transformed explosively as she activated six hall-eyes, her fury sparked by the sight of the imperatores who conspired with the Aeternal Beings to murder Tianming.

Her sharp claws struck the eagle with unimaginable speed, tearing it to pieces and rescuing Yingsang Daiqiong from Imperator Mo’s grasp.

This sudden turn shocked countless onlookers. They discovered that Zi Zhen’s body had grown to a full hundred thousand meters, the height of a standard imperator!

“What?!” Imperator Mo hadn’t expected the sudden loss of his hostage.

“She’s at our level. Don’t underestimate her; attack together!” Imperator Mo no longer showed any contempt. Even if Li Tianming might be lurking nearby, they had to deal with her first!

His fellow imperatores unleashed boundless killing intent as they surrounded Zi Zhen from all sides.

Meanwhile, Yingsang Daiqiong was utterly stunned. Moments ago, she had been certain she would die, only for the purple-haired specter woman to transform and unleash imperator-level power to save her!

“She’s an imperator!” Joy surged within her, like a rebirth from the brink of death.

Without hesitation, she flew to Imperator Yin. “My husband, I’ll take you away first!”

“No need.” Imperator Yin said meaningfully. “If the woman Li Tianming sent fails, running won’t help. But if she succeeds, we won’t need to run.”

“You think she can hold off all four of them?” Yingsang Daiqiong frowned.

“From that burst of power alone, she’s already on par with me or perhaps even slightly stronger,” Imperator Yin said gravely. “Li Tianming isn’t a fool. He wouldn’t send his woman to die. Either he has confidence in her or he has another card to play. Let’s wait and see.”

Yingsang Daiqiong shook her head. “Or maybe they’re just making a desperate gamble. Flameyellow Imperial Star is also in danger and they may not have any backup...”

Regardless, Zi Zhen saving her first had spared them great trouble. Gratitude arose, and she finally felt a flicker of hope.

At that moment, the four enemy imperatores all unleashed their ultimate techniques as they closed in on Zi Zhen...
