Beastmaster of the Ages

The Flameyellow Imperial Star had once swallowed up maniverse-class worlds like Ninefold Hellstar and Saturatia-49 to reach the maniverse class. The terrifying event had long been known among the cosmic gods of the Eightpart Pantheons. They were all aware of the fearsome power of the Flameyellow Imperial Star.

The cosmic gods of the Starfall Pantheon were so terrified that their faces turned pale. Even though they used to reign at the top of the universal hierarchy, they were no different from everyone else when they came face-to-face with death.

When the Flameyellow Imperial Star exited the black-gold vortex and came down towards Ninefirm Imperius, it seemed to exert a massive pressure on the much larger world. No sight as terrifying as this had been witnessed in the past tens of millions of years. They weren’t just facing a crisis, they were facing ultimate despair!

But right before the Flameyellow Imperial Star began to devour Ninefirm Imperius, the people from Ninefirm Imperius could see a huge army of flameyellow divinities fly out from the surface of their world. They were led by Zi Zhen. She and her army had arrived before the Sun properly came down on Ninefirm Imperius.

Wudi and Tianming remained within the skies of the Flameyellow Imperial Star, looking towards the beautiful world of Ninefirm Imperius that glowed like a gentle rainbow.

”The Starfall Pantheon claims to be the people that understands beauty the best in the entire universe,” Wudi said. ”I have to admit that the ’skin’ the have on their world does look rather decent.”

Tianming calmly answered, ”It’s a shame that the nova source will soon belong to us.”

Imperial-class worlds were not like maniverse-class worlds. All the elites of each separate faction of the Eightpart Pantheons were housed within their imperial-class worlds. They were the biggest inheritors of their legacies.

It was one thing to ignore the potential resources in the maniverse-class worlds and let them vanish once the nova source was taken from those worlds, but legacies and resources in imperial-class worlds were important to Tianming. He had to make sure to take everything away and use them for the restoration of the flameyellow divinities.

As such, Zi Zhen and her army pillaged Ninefirm Imperius like bandits. As long as the specter girl was around, none of the cosmic gods of the world were able to do much to resist. They could only watch as their various legacies and treasures were appropriated by the Sun’s army. It didn’t take long before the pillaging was done. Then, it was time for the world to be devoured.

The solar lances extending from the Sun gradually came closer to Ninefirm Imperius. The cosmic gods in that world weren’t able to escape. They cried in desperation and grief. They didn’t want to die. They truly regretted not surrendering to Tianming like the devas had! Even though they weren’t able to make such a choice as long as Imperator Yan was around, the imperator wouldn’t have been able to stop them if they had chosen surrender like the Wondersky Fairy. It was already too late to think about all that. The nature of war was ruthless.

Granny Yin and some other devas on the Sun watched the sight play out, all of them horrified beyond words. Ninefirm Imperius was the same class of world as Deva Imperius! All of them believed that their own imperial-class world was the most brilliant one, only to learn that the Sun that had the Flameyellow’s legacy was the true divine miracle when they saw how it could devour other worlds.

Granny Yin sighed and said, ”The Eightpart Pantheons wiped out the Flameyellow once without leaving a single cosmic god of theirs alive. This time around, our ruler is returning the favor. It is karmic punishment!”

The other devas nodded with a look of awe.

”Cosmic gods are the hope of a race or clan. Wiping all of them out means that they will never be able to pose a threat in the future, not unless they have their own miraculous genius like Emperor Tianming.”

”How can that ever be possible? Emperor Tianming is one and only in this universe! Nobody can replicate the miracles he’s created!” 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

”We were lucky to switch sides early. Otherwise, even Deva Imperius would be used as fodder for the Flameyellow Imperial Star.”

Even the devas, formerly members of the Eightpart Pantheons, didn’t think Tianming was doing something wrong. The Eightpart Pantheons themselves had exterminated all the cosmic gods of the flameyellow divinities and Tianming was only returning the favor in kind.

The elite cosmic gods of Ninefirm Imperius kneeled and begged for mercy, but none of them could sway Tianming’s determination. Eventually, the solar lances plunged into Ninefirm Imperius and began to drain away the nova source.

The colorful dust and rock on the surface of the world was disturbed by turbulent storms the moment the solar lances pierced deep. The radiant world seemed to groan as the five-colored smoke formed massive storms all across the world. It looked as if a stunning beauty was being humiliated and bullied by a massive brute. The colorful storms looked like her tears, scattering all across the astralscape.

Tianming and Wudi watched as rainbow-colored nova source flowed through the powerful solar lances from the depths of Ninefirm Imperius into the Sun, which proceeded to enlarge more and more as it drank away at the essence of the imperial-class world.

”This is the end of the Starfall Pantheon,” Dongfang Taisheng and the five imperial-star elders said, watching with awe and admiration. They never would’ve thought that Tianming would reach heights like this so soon after they met him.

Their Galactic Emperor had risen from one of the Lower Star Ruins and ended up exterminating the Eightpart Pantheons. It truly was an unprecedented legend.

They turned to look as the nova source of the beautiful Ninefirm Imperius entered the Sun and began to tear up. This was a sight that countless generations of flameyellow voidkin before them had dreamed to be able to witness with their own eyes.
