Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 4369 - Transcendence

He felt the tremendous surge clearly. It didn't just originate from the flameyellow army on the imperial star, but also came from the fortuna-class world across the Upper Star Ruin. As this fiery passion swept through every fortuna-class nova source, new champions like Long Moyu stepped up to lead their stars against the maniverse-class worlds. The collective faith pouring into Tianming continued to soar.

"This is insane!"

Upon arriving at the Upper Star Ruin, Sixth's vita, Bai Feng, felt Tianming's charisma radiating throughout the cosmos through the omnisentient threads and could only admit that it completely shattered its wildest expectations. Reaching out, it traced the omnisentient threads and absorbed the omnisentient power flowing through them. It grew stronger, compensating for its former innate deficiencies.

On Tianming's cultivation path of sovereignhood, the Celestial Sourcepath Progenitor was the lifebound beast that benefited the most and grew the fastest. The Invincible Ultimate God of Old shared the faith of those across the cosmos. For Tianming, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

The caelum above, the vita in the middle, and the terra at the bottom. The tripartite soul and Trisoul Prime!

In his current state, Tianming refrained from joining the battle against the vanguard army because there was simply no need for that. They would still fall, even with Imperator Ming on their side. The sheer speed of this collapse shattered all expectations of the five pantheons. It was too late for reinforcements to matter.

Tianming still stood directly before Imperator Ming. After unleashing two devastating moves through Ji Ji and Xi Xi, he turned around to face Imperator Ming. The execution had been lightning-fast. Imperator Ming remained motionless, staring intently as Tianming executed the unimaginable. It was obvious Imperator Ming was deeply shaken.

"Are you afraid now?" Tianming stared back with burning intensity.

"Your actions leave us with only one conclusion: you must be slaughtered immediately," Imperator Ming said coldly.

"Unfortunately for you, it's too late. I can't die." Tianming laughed.

"Fine..." Imperator Ming cast his gaze upon Wudi in his hand. "Then let's start with one!"

"Don't look at me, go after him first! I've got an eighty-year-old mother and an unmarried daughter!" Wudi roared.

"Shut up!" Imperator Ming was utterly vexed by Wudi's shouting. Every single eye on his body locked onto Wudi, twisting into a vortex. This was, without a doubt, a manifestation of soul power!

"Die!"

The instant this soul power enveloped Wudi, his eyes rolled back, and his powerless body fell limply. It was clear Imperator Ming was striking to kill.

"Attack!" Tianming shouted. Though he sought to bolster the battle against the vanguard army, he hadn't truly given up on Wudi.

While Imperator Ming was entirely preoccupied with Wudi, the three soulbeasts on Tianming's head finished absorbing the soul power and merged into one. It transformed into a sharp sword that shot toward Imperator Ming, aimed dead center at the eye on his head that had formed a vortex.

At this moment, the flameyellow divinities across the Upper Star Ruin caught sight of the vortex. Glaring at it with fury, they poured their soul power into the three Sixths.

Imperator Ming drove his five fingers three hundred meters deep into Wudi's chest. It wasn't deep, but it was enough to breach the Flameyellow Coffin. Right then, Tianming's white sword pierced through the eyeball. Imperator Ming was taken by surprise as he genuinely believed that Tianming posed no threat to him. More importantly, unleashing soul power meant his entire attention was focused on Wudi.

The sword pierced his brain. So that eye was actually his brain! Imperator Ming's vortex ground to a sudden halt, its ripples warping and distorting. His head trembled and he yanked his hands back to cover his eye, letting out a gut-wrenching scream. Imperator Ming was undoubtedly wounded.

"Scram!"

Seizing the chance, Tianming mustered all his strength and closed the distance in a flash. He violently shoved Imperator Ming back, while simultaneously kicking Wudi and Taixu away, just in the nick of time!

"You little brat..."

Wudi was about to start cursing when Tianming glared at him and said, "Go and take the vanguard army captive!"

"Got it!" Taking one look at Imperator Ming, Wudi shouted a reply. He understood the situation perfectly and immediately fled.

Imperator Ming truly lived up to the title. Even after taking a full-power strike from the three Sixths, he suffered only a fleeting moment of disorientation before completely recovering. Furious that Wudi had slipped away, he turned all ninety-seven eyeballs toward Tianming.

"Do you honestly think you have no vulnerabilities?" Imperator Ming asked, his voice hoarse.

"Everyone has a weakness. I have mine, and you have yours!" Tianming said.

"Fine!" Imperator Ming didn't strike right away, aware that capturing this brat wouldn't be easy. His hostage, Wudi, was gone!

Disregarding the vanguard army entirely, Imperator Ming shot Tianming a profound look before abruptly diving toward the Sky Palace Formation.

"How cunning!" Tianming’s anger spiked. But to drive an Eightpart Pantheons imperator to the point of seeking out his family was extraordinary.

"Come out!" Tianming had originally planned to hide them, but now he had no choice.

Forty-nine undying aeternals erupted from the surface into the raging sea of fire, cutting off Imperator Ming. The moment Imperator Ming caught sight of these insect-headed people, each towering fifty to eighty thousand meters in height, his expression shifted.

Then, Tianming appeared in front of them. He fixed his gaze on Imperator Ming, his voice booming like a bell as he said, "Your vanguard army is now entirely in my hands. I suggest we negotiate if you want them to live!"
