Beastmaster of the Ages

”Stop causing trouble,” Jiguang said as she pulled Yaoyao back, giving her a worried and angry look that was somehow also filled with trust. ”I believe in Tianming. He can work miracles.”

Yaoyao’s tears flowed uncontrollably. Even though she usually loved to argue with Tianming, deep down, she was all too willing to sacrifice herself for him.

Lin Xiaodao, who typically never let his wine gourd leave his side, tossed his green gourd to the side as he looked at the skies sternly. The same applied to Wei Tiancang, Li Jingyu, Mu Wan, Bai Zijin, Jiang Qingluan and everyone else.

Some of them were from the Vermillion Bird Kingdom or even the Grand-Orient Sect. They had followed Tianming to the Sun throughout the whole journey, working hard for the restoration of the Flameyellow. Many friends from the Myriad Solar Sects also looked up at the star above with hope and yearning. Tianming was their spiritual pillar, the astral beacon that illuminated everyone’s way.

Even the little empress that he had ”kidnapped” from the Sundown Pantheon stood resolutely on their side, being completely converted by Tianming. A new omnisentient thread formed, linking her to Tianming.

Near where the devas were gathered, Granny Yin and many others watched the scene as they began to tear up.

”I finally know now that the flameyellow divinities are the true rulers of the universe all along.” Granny Yin watched Tianming far above, feeling as if her entire body was burning.

The youth had taken the blow from the massive sword that the Heavenly Dao had transformed into to protect the Flameyellow Imperial Star. This impressive sacrificial act shook the hearts of many devas. Coupled with updates about Zi Zhen’s victory at Deva Imperius, the devas had genuinely switched over, committing to Tianming completely and causing many omnisentient threads to form!

Having truly joined Tianming’s camp, they began to cheer for him.

”Tianming!”

”Tianming!”

”Tianming!”

Everyone on the Sun witnessed his actions, their emotions reaching a historic peak. All their eyes were filled with hatred for the Eightpart Pantheons and Shen Wu and determination to alter their destiny. Their hopes and dreams fell onto Tianming’s battered cosmic-god body.

They knew that their Galactic Emperor would rather perish than relent. Tianming bore the full weight of the restoration of the flameyellow descendants and the destruction of the Eightpart Pantheons!

All the flameyellow descendants could do was to strengthen the omnisentient threads as much as they could! They grit their teeth to the point that they bled. Their rage and despair seeped into the threads with their blood, staining all of them blood red!

Tianming’s field of vision seemed to be dyed in the same blood red. His consciousness was already fading out. This was Flameyellow blood, the last bit of power the flameyellow descendants could squeeze out!

He suddenly felt a boundless power support him from behind, as if countless hands gave him a firm push forward. All the flameyellow descendants in the Upper Star Ruin, including those in countless fortuna-class worlds, were linked with him! More and more omnisentient threads turned blood red, representing the intense desire of the flameyellow descendants for a place to call home. Every single drop of blood on those threads carried their heart-stirring dreams!

”Rise for me!” The universe in Tianming’s eyes was filled with nothing but blood. Blood-colored omnisentient threads connected to him from every single direction. His power reached an explosive peak, one that far exceeded anything that had been witnessed before! The power flowed to his lifebound beasts as well, allowing Meow Meow, Ying Huo, Lan Huang and Xian Xian to hold on!

They managed to block it completely! Tianming raised his Fiendsky Arm and actually managed to block the massive Heavenly Dao sword that absolutely dwarfed him!

As his white fluttering hair was cut away to pieces by the sword ki of judgment, he was completely submerged in a sea of blood that nobody else could see. This was the final act of resistance that the flameyellow descendants who had been enslaved and oppressed mustered! They would shatter the shackles of Heavenly Dao! Their hatred for the wonderians and Eightpart Pantheons had been transferred all across the universe.

Time eventually passed, and the Heavenly Dao sword wasn’t able to advance even an inch.

”How could this be?!”

Shen Wu, Imperator Shen and many other wonderians were absolutely dumbfounded. There was no way they could ever imagine that Tianming would be able to block something with his physical body! The sheer power from the Heavenly Dao sword was something that could reduce even ten Imperator Yins to dust, yet Tianming managed to hold on!

Not only that, they realized that Tianming’s power no longer grew. Yet, he somehow managed to move the massive sword little by little!

”Get the fuck out of here!” Tianming roared as he channeled all his cosmoforce into the Fiendsky Arm, sending the Heavenly Dao sword flying tens of thousands of meters into the air. He then chased it down with his lifebound beasts and gave it punch after punch, eventually pushing the massive sword out of the astralguard formation!

Tianming could feel his imperial order grow rapidly as he did so. The omnisentient threads were fueling its growth directly. This was the reason he was able to stop the Heavenly Dao sword even though the increase in power he experienced from the omnisentient threads stopped. His imperial and lifesbane orders coupled with all eight orders from his lifebound beasts strengthened him till he reached a completely different level!

”Break apart!” Tianming used Skypierce Finger. The finger of black and gold unleashed a powerful beam that sent the Heavenly Dao sword flying back tens of millions of meters till it was completely outside the astralguard formation.

Shen Wu, Imperator Shen and the countless wonderians were all stunned by the sight.

”Very good. Your determination is staggering to witness,” Shen Wu said, glaring at Tianming coldly. ”It’s too bad for you that we weren’t planning to use the Heavenly Dao to kill you. Instead, we were planning to capture you. Since you have resisted to no end, it is time for you to despair.”

The Heavenly Dao sword suddenly changed color under Shen Wu’s control. The power within it began to transform. Tianming could feel chills from the depths of his heart.
