Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 4285 - Damn it!

Li Tianzi sighed. "If you hadn't disappeared for a hundred thousand years, I might have already conquered the entire Inverse Battlefield."

"It's not too late now, as long as you're willing to trust me," Tianming replied.

Li Tianzi had left Tianming to his own devices in the Inverse Battlefield, so he wouldn’t get dragged into this vortex. However, Tianming’s performance in the past few decades had surprised him greatly.

"Alright! We brothers are united,” Li Tianzi said, his gaze solemn.

"Okay!" Tianming smiled.

They immediately established a tacit understanding.

"One more thing, why do you suspect Mu Changfeng?" Li Tianzi frowned. "His reputation has always been excellent."

Tianming scoffed. "Something this major had to have help from the inside. As for why I suspect him... It's simple. I can always spot someone with ulterior motives. Why do I suspect him? Because I’ve seen it. You can try him if you trust me."

"The problem is there's no evidence," Li Tianzi said.

"There will be soon.” Tianming laughed.

"You mean...?"

"He can't sit still anymore," Tianming said.

"Damn it!" Li Tianzi found himself staring intently at Tianming. Now he understood why Tianming had taken action on his own without saying anything first. This way, the traitor had no chance!

Such eyes could only belong to a god of war.

Taking a deep breath, Li Tianzi said, “I know what you’re planning. You want me to single-handedly infiltrate the Violetmoon Chaos Star Ruin. While I rescue the captives and collect evidence, you’ll lure their forces away from the fortress. Once they’ve departed, our army moves in and we’ll hit them from both sides.”

“Pretty much!” Tianming replied.

Li Tianzi was dumbfounded. “You think too highly of me. I can certainly do a lot, but I can’t draw all enemy firepower and form a pincer attack with the heavencosmic army! If I don't push hard enough, they’ll just go after the Mu clan cosmic gods instead. That’s practically a skirmish, and we’ll still take heavy losses.”

He assumed Tianming had a better plan.

Rolling his eyes at him, Tianming said, “Who said you were going in on your own?”

“You? That’s extremely dangerous. That’s where most of their firepower is,” Li Tianzi said solemnly.

"Do I look like I'm afraid of danger?" Tianming pointed to the skypole stars.

"That’s true." Li Tianzi paused. "But what can you do?"

"I can do plenty in the Chaos Star Ruins. At the very least, I can put just as much heat on the enemy as you. If we double the pressure, won't that be enough to really put their 250 million heavencosmic gods in a tight spot?" Tianming smiled coldly.

"As much as me?" Looking at Tianming with newfound respect, Li Tianzi chuckled and patted him on the head. "You’re pretty brave, aren’t you!"

"Get lost." Tianming paused to touch his head, then vanished in a streak of light, rocketing toward the ruins."

"What a good kid, a real talent!" Li Tianzi's gaze followed the figure, his face revealing a myriad of emotions.

...

Amidst the yellow sand, Mu Changfeng sliced through the wind, his expression grim as he headed towards Violetmoon Fortress.

"Where are you going, Mu Changfeng?"

Dark clouds suddenly appeared, and a chilling voice echoed. A black phoenix with a wingspan of hundreds of thousands of meters descended from the sky, cutting off his path.

"I’m dispatching the troops!" Mu Changfeng looked at the black phoenix, throat dry as sand as he forced himself to remain calm.

"You can stop pretending. The imperial son said you were going to inform the enemy." The black phoenix lifted its head and said coldly, "Your presence here says it all... You're really something else, Mu Changfeng. In all these years, I never realized you were a traitor. How responsible of you to refuse help and take on everything alone just so you get all the credit!"

Hearing this, Mu Changfeng's expression altered drastically, but he still managed a response. "You may be the first imperial son’s lifebound beast, but stop talking nonsense. As a cosmic god of the Mu clan, my entire life has been dedicated to Nullity. I will not tolerate such slander!"

The black phoenix shook its head. "You can’t conceal anything from that little thing’s heavenly eyes! Hold it until we get back to the Mu clan. Then you can say your piece as you kneel before Imperator Skyplunder, your family, and clan."

With that, it pounced on Mu Changfeng.

"No! Don't!" Mu Changfeng's face paled as he cried out in panic.

However, resistance was futile.

From the moment Tianming initiated this plan, all excuses became irrelevant. He was the sole judge of right and wrong.

***

Above the Violetmoon Chaos Star Ruin, countless violetblitzians and cosmic gods from Yueling Starcage were working together to mine for chaos middlekin stars. It was extremely busy, with people coming and going, carefully transporting chaos middlekin stars.

Just then, two figures appeared in the air.

"Who goes there?!"

The cosmic gods looked up in a daze and were instinctively gripped by fear upon seeing Li Tianzi's 90,000-meter-tall form.

BOOM!

One stomp from Li Tianzi unleashed a black tempest of lightning and fire, instantly reducing thousands of cosmic gods to dust. The chaos middlekin stars plummeted back down. After clearing a path with a kick, the brothers transformed into two streams of light, crashing into the Chaos Star Ruin.

"Alert! There are intruders!”

"Prepare for battle!"

The piercing roar reverberated across the heavens and earth.
