Beastmaster of the Ages

Zi Zhen had slaughtered four imperatores in a row with all her ninehall eyes open. The crimson specter was the only one who survived the battle. The countless specters of the devan race cried tears of jubilation.

”She did it! She definitely did!”

”Li Tianming helped us defeat our enemies!”

”Who could’ve thought that this specter senior would kill all four imperatores?!”

”Don’t call her senior. She’s probably much younger than you! Haha!”

”This is what talent looks like! This is what the people around Li Tianming are like!”

”Invincible Specter! Invincible Specter!”

The devas absolutely idolized Zi Zhen. The specters of the Upper Star Ruin were the weakest group, often suppressed by the humans and wonderians. Yet, the five imperatores of the Eightpart Pantheons were dead, while the specters still had Imperator Yin and Zi Zhen! As long as they could emerge victorious from this war, the specters were sure to have a place to belong in the future!

”Yin, she did it...” Yingsang Daiqiong said, tears flowing nonstop. It simply didn’t feel real to her. She had escorted the cosmic-god essence of Imperator Yin to somewhere safe and looked to the sky at the young female specter, feeling a hint of worship.

”I finally know why you trust Li Tianming so much, Yin,” Yingsang Daiqiong said with a wrongful look. ”He’s someone that creates miracles. The people around him are able to completely turn the whole situation around. He shouldn’t have any trouble defending the Flameyellow Imperial Star either. There’s no way he’d send such a powerful ally to us otherwise.”

”We finally won. That’s great.” Imperator Yin really didn’t expect that Zi Zhen alone could kill all the remaining imperatores. She was already far beyond the level of a typical imperator. Imperator Yin knew that he wasn’t able to match up, or he wouldn’t have ended up defeated.

As his subjects cheered, Imperator Yin’s lofty but cold voice spread across the battlefield. ”Devas, heed my words! The imperatores of our enemy have perished. The Eightpart Pantheons will soon be history! Kill the ones that remain!”

All of the devas were filled with fighting spirit like never before. They knew that this was their moment. They were creating history!

”Die!” The specters charged.

Zi Zhen had helped them take back the defensive formation of Deva Imperius, so it was back at full force and attacking the cosmic gods of the enemy alliance, whose ranks were already starting to crumble.

The Virtue and Sin Pantheons along with the divine ashuran race didn’t have enough troops in the first place, having lost many during the attack on the Primordial Sands and the Flameyellow Imperial Star. With their respective imperatores dead, they had completely lost the will to fight.

The main attacking force was supposed to comprise cosmic gods from the Sundown and Starfall Pantheons. But Imperator Cang and Imperator Yan’s deaths as well as news that their captured comrades were slain crushed their spirits completely. Some of the soldiers of the alliance were already trying to flee.

”The female specter is far too terrifying! We were wrong to make an enemy out of Li Tianming!”

”Stop fighting! Who cares about Shen Wu and the Aeternal Beings? We shouldn’t have trusted outsiders to begin with!”

”Don’t give up! We still have families back home waiting for us! We have to fight our way out of here if we’re to make it back!”

”The only way for us to survive is to capture hostages!”

The invaders began to scatter all over the place. However, there were quite a number of them, high officers like the Specter Kings of the devas, that were still alive. They knew that continuing the fight would get them killed, so they switched to taking hostages instead.

The best candidate for a hostage was Yingsang Daiqiong, naturally, since Imperator Yin could no longer protect her in his essence form. But when these powerful primocosmic gods charged towards her, they saw that the powerful specter lady that Tianming had sent was already by her side.

”Run!” They immediately turned tail, but Zi Zhen didn’t give them the chance to flee. She charged ahead and killed one with every swipe of her arm.

She hadn’t suffered any injuries at all after defeating Imperator Mo in the state where all her ninehall eyes were open. It was completely unlike the time she had to fight Huang Qi, so she still had lots of power to spare.

The fact that she was able to take out Imperator Cang in one move meant that these elite subordinates were nothing to her. It took only a few moments for them to be turned into space dust.

Then, Zi Zhen watched as the rest of the enemies tried to escape into wormhole expressways with their ships and immediately zipped towards them like a crimson meteor. Her terrifyingly tough specter body landed on one of the ships. She tore open the hull of the ship with her claws and spikes alone! There was no way the divine astralship formation was able to defend against an attack like that!

The ship soon exploded, causing cosmic gods to pour out of it. They panicked and tried to run, only to be surrounded and exterminated by the deva troops.

”Follow the specter queen! Don’t let them escape!”

”They dared to turn on us devas, so we shan’t let them leave alive!”

”The queen is far too ferocious! She tore a ship apart!”

Zi Zhen’s feats continued to inspire worship of her in the devas. She was the queen of all specterkind! Even Imperator Yin couldn’t rival her when it came to bodily toughness! The devas were fully convinced of Imperator Yin’s choice by this point.

”The imperator was right all along! If we hadn’t stood by Li Tianming’s side, we would be just like them!”

”That’s right! The imperator was wise!”

Their spirits couldn’t be higher. It was time to beat up their defeated foes!
