Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 1086

Chapter 1086

"Enough with the overthinking! I want to crush them all!" Lan Huang roared from within the lifebound space.
"I'm not afraid either! I can't die as long as I still have one flower! I can grow them all back!" Xian Xian said. All of them were telepathically linked with Tianming and he could feel their burning passion to eradicate the unfairness, cruelty, and scheming that their enemies projected on them. Even if fighting wouldn't change the fate of humanity, he still had to give it his all. How else would he be a ruler that truly did well by his subjects? Ever since he had formed his dynasty, he’d been looking for an answer to that question.
"Are they really my weakness?" Tianming didn't think so. He had benefited much from the power he gained from them. The Omnisentient Will he got from them told him that even the weakest of lifeforms had souls like the so-called ‘superior lifeforms’. He looked up and saw the proud and insulting divine moonrace looking down on everything in their sights.
Then he split the Grand-Orient Sword in two and used the three orderian keys to gather the power of the cauldron. The divine patterns of the cauldron seemed to flow about on his skin; the power he now radiated was terrifying to most of the first- and second-level ascendants. Only Prince Fengyue and the city lords didn't seem to fear him. The entire time, he was being attacked from all directions, so even first-level ascendants could potentially hurt him and kill his beasts.
"Where's your lifebound beasts?!" Prince Fengyue yelled impatiently.
"Calm down. I'll let you see them!" Amidst the countless figures who were with him in the cauldron, his lifebound beasts appeared. There was a flaming bird perched on his shoulder; a black cat on the ground; a gigantic, two-headed dragon; and a five-hundred-meter-tall tree. All of them were absorbing the power of the orderian cauldron. Thanks to the fiendish universal manna they had absorbed, they seemed especially sinister, putting their Primordial Chaos Beast qualities on full savage display.
"Perfect." Prince Fengyue smiled. "It wasn't easy to force your lifebound beasts to come out without using some tricks. Your beasts even made use of our universal manna. It's about time you returned what you owed us."
Sovereign Xi had given Tianming the manna to improve his quality. But now that the beasts were worthless to her, they would pay for their sins with their deaths.
"What else? How many bane-rings do you have?" All Prince Fengyue knew was that he had many more. However, it was pointless even if Tianming did have more, since a dead man told no tales. Tianming was about to be sacrificed anyway, and had even done them a favor by hiding it all using the orderian cauldron. Even if the others within the cauldron witnessed the number of his bane-rings, it would be easy to make the thousand people within the cauldron disappear, a small price to pay for helping their sovereign make a breakthrough.
When Tianming's lifebound beasts appeared, the thousand enemies summoned their totems to apply pressure on him. Thanks to the limited space, however, many of them couldn't really fight with their huge totems, but they already had more than enough people on their side.
"Kill his lifebound beasts!" Prince Fengyue ordered. All of them swarmed Tianming right away.
"Die!"
Loud roars and rumbles shook the cauldron. Tianming felt all the more enraged at the sheer pressure he was under. All of his bane-rings shone bright as he summoned all ten decapath era godswords, a sign of his dedication to exterminate every single person here today.
"I went to the Divine Moon Realm only to save Feng, yet the divine moonrace forced me into a corner time and time again."
He had no option but to die if he were to submit to them. All the pent-up rage he and his beasts felt exploded at once. It was one man, four beasts, and ten swords against all others!
"Ten... ten totems!"
"What in the world?!"
"Lord Prince, he’s got ten totems!"
Their expressions were completely contorted. If someone like him could be birthed from the world below, that was completely insane. But no matter what, they never could have imagined that he would be even stronger than the Ninemoon Goddess!
"I see it. Now go kill the beasts," the prince calmly said. However, nobody noticed his quivering fingers. That number of totems was indeed unprecedented. If the divine moonrace gets this guy's luck, we’ll rise to new peaks and create a golden era for our race!
"I said go kill them!" he roared once more. The city lords were the first to act, followed by the other fearless divine moonrace. Regardless of their low levels, they relied entirely on their numbers to fight against Tianming's beasts and attacked from all directions.
"Li Tianming, you’re dead!" cried a woman from the crowd. Tianming turned to look and saw Huiye Yin, Huiyue Jie's sister.
"Do you want to know how your brother died?" Tianming asked.
"What do you mean?" Huiye Yin said, stunned. Her brother's death had been a mystery up until now.
"Just watch! I'll show you how it's done!" Tianming's Grand-Orient Swords flashed brightly as countless sword beams appeared, grinding Huiye Yin to bits and killing her in an instant. Her eyes opened wide with shock.
Tianming had already forgotten that he had also used Imperial Sword Prison on her, but now she had come to die on her own accord. While most of the divine moonrace that had come for him were middle aged, there were quite a lot of reckless young folks too.
"Serve up the next one!" Tianming said in mocking fashion, enraging them even further. The next moment, he was enveloped by totems from all directions.
"Xian Xian, it's your turn!"
"Leave it to me! I'll deal with those stinky bastards!"
Xian Xian's face was flushed red as two of its flowers, the Evernight Rose and Fiendsong Mares, bloomed. The Evernight Curse and Trisoul Fiendsong were running at full throttle. The fine pollen from the rose was even more powerful, thanks to the effects of the cauldron, and within this tightly confined space, it was guaranteed to infest every single person there and cause them to go berserk and fight both friend and foe.
The effects of the sound coming from Xian Xian's flowers, on the other hand, were already completely unstoppable. They couldn't be avoided within the cauldron and could only be resisted by someone with a stronger divine soul. As such, first- and second-level ascendants had barely any resistance against it. Once the move was used, it was as if they had fallen under a poisonous spell that would only intensify over time. Additionally, while Xian Xian's Radiant Vines and Bloodrain Swords weren’t as damaging, they were enough of a threat against the weaker ascendants and held them back more than Ying Huo and the other two ever could. They could even completely crush a first-level ascendant's totems, and there were more than a hundred thousand vines.
During that clash, all Prince Fengyue saw was the deaths of his divine moonrace at the hands of Tianming and his beasts. Tianming had Lan Huang open up a path and fought near Xian Xian. Ying Huo and Meow Meow circled around him as his godswords slashed with abandon, causing blood to rain everywhere.
"You wanted to see the power of my lifebound beasts, eh? Take a good look at it then! It’s not like you’ll still be alive to tell the tale!"
No matter their numbers, they were fighting within his cauldron and his turf. The Pentamoon Slayers combined were about as powerful as a Lifecycle Sky ascendant, so Tianming was definitely on that level as he had killed them. While he wouldn't be able to deal with a hundred thousand ascendants at once, he had no problem fighting now, especially with Prince Fengyue on the sidelines.
"You want to mock me even though you’ve only got a thousand pieces of weak trash?" Tianming wanted to laugh at how arrogant they were.
Lan Huang continued to slash away and pave new paths with Astralfiend's Sword, crushing countless totems and severing many limbs. Then a ninth-level ascendant came rushing in with six totems and started attacking Lan Huang from the flank, causing it to lash out and bite back at its totems.
"I know you! Huiyue Tianhong!" Tianming suddenly appeared before the man that looked like Huiyue Tianyu. He was the current acting clan leader of the Huiyue Clan.
"You have to die!" Huiyue Tianhong said, smiling coldly.
"You first!" Tianming rained down blows of the Moonnight Subdued Strike as Ying Huo, Meow Meow, Lan Huang, and Xian Xian took on the others coming his way. Seaborne Moon caused moons to rise and fall, completely blinding Huiyue Tianhong.
"Die!"
Huiyue Tianhong didn't even get the chance to cry out as he was torn asunder, much to the shock of the others nearby. Tianming had left a deep impression in their minds; there was no way someone who was willing to go against even the sovereign would be a harmless sheep.
