Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2599 - The First Pot of Gold

Tianming played his cards step by step. He even took a page from Lan Huang’s book and turned the tomb over and over again, crushing the beasts that besieged it. If he wanted to keep the big boss occupied, he would have to take risks.

"If this continues, that guy really might break into the ship. His invisibility makes it easy for him to stealthily kill,” Xiaoxiao said with worry.

"Go away, little coward!" Tianming laughed.

"Hmph!"

As dangerous as it was, Tianming was actually able to control the scene. The walls of the tomb were extremely thick, so he had complete control over the battle. Moran’s divine wonders could also exert influence both inside and outside the ship.

Time continued slipping away as Lin Xiaodao headed over on the Gladean Ruins. This time, no one could inform the invisible man of the astralship’s location, so all he could do was gauge its position. Therefore, the big boss couldn’t be as precise as Tianming.

Tianming stopped stalling just before the Gladean Ruins arrived. At that moment, Moran used her divine wonders at full power and a most terrifying scene played out before the Star Hunters’ eyes. The Whitedragon Silvermoon, which had just been “broken”, appeared once more. As a result, the invisible man was sandwiched between the shield and the tomb, enveloped by the firmament ocean wonder and evernight whale wonder. There was no way he could have anticipated that Tianming would come up with a move like that. In fact, the invisible man wouldn’t even have been able to break through the shield if Tianming hadn’t disarmed it. At the moment, the Ninedragon Imperial tomb could rank among the top three within the Infinitum Mundus in terms of defense capabilities.

The big boss’ heart thundered in his chest. This was the second time he crumbled. He was tricked again! He turned around, only to see the Gladean Ruins descend from above. As soon as it appeared, the Star Hunters that surrounded the tomb were crushed to death. The two-headed dragon touched the ground and came to a stop, indicating that Lin Xiaodao had left the astralship to kill.

Tianming allowed him access to the tomb. In the gap between Whitedragon Silvermoon and Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, the invisible man attacked with all his might. Unfortunately, he also had to deal with Moran’s divine wonders.

"Little Fish, restrain the big boss. Master will kill him,” Tianming said. His job was done.

"Okay!"

Tianming knew a little about the leader of the Star Hunters. He had heard from Lin Xiaodao that the invisible man was from a race known as the godshades. Like the ebons and divine wonderians, they were a special kind of human with a larger population than the ebons. They didn’t have lifebound beasts or divine wonders, but they did possess strange techniques.

He hoped to see the big boss, but the battlefield was completely covered by the firmament ocean wonder. The fight was truly exciting. Moran hadn’t joined the battle before, and the chaos in the Flameyellow Guard Formation had given the man a chance to escape. This time, he would definitely catch this turtle in the urn.

The roars of battle were deafening. When the Star Hunters witnessed it, their enthusiasm completely dissipated. In an instant, they had lost all energy and spirit. Without that zeal, they began to dodge and distance themselves from the tomb, watching their future crumble before their eyes.

The surface of the tomb was greatly damaged in the battle, but fortunately, its internal parts weren’t affected. Tianming finally got to see Lin Xiaodao’s demonstration of the Death Imperatoris. Compared to Tianming, his master was simply on another level. Like the king of death, Lin Xiaodao’s every move was filled with destructive power.

"You dare cross billions of stars to come to our territory and cause trouble?! You deserve to die!"

Moran told Tianming that the big boss was at the end of a life-and-death battle, and was finally put to an end. But before the man breathed his last, he roared with laughter, his courage perplexing.

Tianming hadn’t been able to observe the godshades’ unique techniques. However, Moran reported that defeating the Big Boss wasn’t any easier than killing Chi Hun.

"Little Fish’s divine wonders must be useful in restraining godshades."

The Star Hunters’ big boss had died in battle.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Lin Xiaodao killed him completely, destroying all seven of his astral organs.

"If I hadn’t lured him over, the man would’ve hid himself on the Sun. Then I’d have no peace of mind." Dealing with him in one go felt great. The newly upgraded Ninedragon Imperial Tomb had played a useful role in trapping the big boss.

The remaining Star Hunters had witnessed the death of their last leader and the astral gods from Gladeus were still slaughtering their way across the Sun; death was almost certain. They were too shocked to do anything except run away in panic. When the tree fell, the monkeys scattered.

The fight was over. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb descended to the ground, kicking up dust all over the sky. Now that their strongest enemy was dead, Tianming finally dared to leave the tomb. Just ahead of him stood Lin Xiaodao with a green gourd on his back. Picking up a weapon from the ground with his sword, he threw it toward Tianming and said, "The high-ether-class Starbreaker is extremely useful for breaking astralships. Your tomb would’ve been finished if it weren’t for its latest transformation,"

That was the weapon the big boss had used to break into the tomb. It revolved at such a high speed, making it a powerful drill, and it was also a devastating weapon when used in a fight. It was one of the best spoils of victory. Xiaoxiao's Skywreck Vortex was low ether class, and this time, such weapons could be found everywhere. When would the people of the Sun be ready to use low-ether-class cosmic artifacts?

Tianming didn’t dare to take a weapon like the Starbreaker for himself, so he quickly tossed it into the tomb. The Starbreaker fell to the ground with a cold glint and a face filled with resentment flickered on the weapon for just an instant, but no one caught it.

"Here!" Lin Xiaodao threw a spatial ring. "This battle was definitely worth fighting! You’re rich! The man’s got more than twenty eighty-aperture ordered manna! The Star Hunters are far richer than all of Gladeus. They could even rival an Infinitum Regal Clan in the upper middle echelons."

It was frightening.

Grabbing the spatial ring, Tianming looked inside and was shocked by what he found. He was sure there would be more surprises in store as he slowly gathered the spoils—astralships, legacy caeli, cosmic artifacts, divine ores and herbs, and more.

"This is the Sun’s first pot of gold. We’ll use it to make the people of the Sun prosper!"
