Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3969 - Terror of Cosmic Arts

Tianming had no choice. He buckled down for what was to come, charging as quickly as he could with sword in hand and turning into a bolt of purple lightning, his beasts and totems at the ready. Then, he charged in from the side of the pathway toward the group of wonderians, locking onto a specific one. They didn't look male nor female and had fair skin from top to bottom, resembling Fengqing Youmeng somewhat.

Wonderian couples were able to fuse together to form one body, which was their current form. One might even be able to see a female face if one parted the hair on the back of that wonderian's head. From a rough glance, that wonderian seemed much older than You You. They seemed to be near the back, toying with their prey while their elder siblings, Shiming Shengshi, came down hard on Jiang Lincheng. There was no way the wonderians would let him go since he knew Tianming!

There was little time. Tianming's sudden appearance stunned the wonderians nearby him.

"Who's that?!" While they watched, stunned, Tianming zipped toward Shiming Xingyue.

"It's the native of the Ancestral World, Lin Feng!" Shiming Xingyue immediately recognized Tianming and had a rough idea of his combat power. Tianming was more or less as large as he looked back then, so the couple didn't really fear him.

"Notify them!" Shiming Xingyue knew that Tianming was their elder siblings' target. There was no need for them to use Jiang Lincheng to bait him out any longer.

"Yes!" Someone immediately used a transmission stone to notify Shiming Shengshi. Shiming Xingyue immediately engaged Tianming, trying to subdue him and not give him any chance to escape.

There were three other fourth-level cosmic gods next to them. The others in the distance were also alerted and immediately gave up on their foes and rushed toward Tianming, blocking all routes of escape. Divine wonders made it easy to restrict and limit opponents, which worked extra well against those who primarily focused on speed. Tianming's Thousandway Blitzrun had been locked down to some extent.

Shiming Xingyue's two divine wonders were close together. They were smart enough to know that Tianming was trying to take them hostage, so they didn't try to kill Tianming. Instead, they used their wonders defensively to enhance their body.

The northdipper swordstar wonder turned into tens of millions of tiny swords that stuck close to their skin, ready to be unleashed at any moment. The other eastpole mystmoon wonder surrounded their astral brain defensively, a sign that they knew about Tianming's soul attacks. Shiming Xingyue's timely reaction immediately skyrocketed the difficulty of achieving Tianming's objective. At the same time, other elite divine wonders around him applied pressure on him and came to Shiming Xingyue's aid.

Many abilities exploded forth from all four of Tianming's limbs, sending waves of destructive purple blasts that shattered the different kinds of divine wonders around him. Ying Huo and the rest continued to fire off abilities automatically, forcefully making space around Tianming for him to focus solely on Shiming Xingyue.

"Lifebound beasts? Totems? So, you are indeed a native of the Ancient Flameyellow Ruins.... Do you even know that your ancestors have either all been wiped out or turned into slaves?" Shiming Xingyue said, chuckling with a mixed male-female voice. They wielded a spike-like high-imperial-class cosmic artifact. With bodies tempered by the divine wonder to reach specter levels of toughness, they charged toward Tianming ferociously.

"They have... been reduced... into cosmic... god essences!" Yin Chen said after witnessing Jiang Datou and Jiang Lincheng's state. The power difference was far too wide, so this was the expected outcome. Tianming couldn't afford to back away now. If he failed, Jiang Datou and the rest would be gone for sure.

Rage poured out of Tianming at the sight of those disgusting and hateful wonderians and their teasing, arrogant looks. This attitude seemed to be adopted by everyone of their kind.

At that moment, one of the destroyed nebulae within the jade talisman shifted and flooded into Tianming's mind. His rage seemed to help him work through the part he had been stuck at during that instant! Tianming raised the hundred-plus-meter Grand-Orient Sword high and formed his 30-fold-simulacrum totems into ten grand sword projections. Bai Ling's twenty-seven infant souls gathered there and turned into twenty-seven streams of white sword ki.

"This cosmic art's might can only be properly channeled using rage!" From his body, four streams of powerful infernal, genesis, radix, and primordial cosmoforce surged into the sword, increasing its energy mass so much that it seemed to turn into a sword galaxy that was capable of destroying a universe, the universe that was reinforced by two divine wonders!

"Wonderians!" Tianming's eyes pulsed with killing intent as he delivered a sky-rending slash, coloring the area around him completely purple. Though the Grand-Orient Sword seemed heavy during that strike, it channeled an infinite stream of sword intent, filling the whole area with shades of sword slashes that together formed a vast star map.

"Cosmic art?!" Shiming Xingyue and their allies had just heard that almost all those from the Primordial Sands had been subdued, so they had a moment of relief. Yet, seeing that strike caused them to tense up, but it was too late! Tianming's strike was packed full of an indomitable imperial aura. It was a single strike that could crush the stars, packed full of a whole star map's worth of rage. The galaxy of swords paved the way for the strike to snap Shiming Xinyue's spiked weapon in an instant before smashing into their head.

With but a single slash, Shiming Xingyue's cosmic god physique instantly exploded into fireworks, almost shattering completely. Their divine-wonder protection was severely affected, allowing Bai Ling's soul power to reach their vita, causing them to shriek in agony! Even the cosmic god essences that they had been reduced to were covered in countless holes. They had been this close to being killed in one strike! Even Tianming hadn't expected the strike to be so powerful.

"Hurry up!" Xian Xian's black roots immediately pierced into both cosmic god essences and started to devour their middlekin astrons using Radix Black Holes while injecting Quadform Radixbreath inside, causing them to slowly rot away. That the tenth-ranked genius wonderian had been killed by someone much younger in one strike made for quite the powerful statement. At that moment, a group of wonderians coldly dragged a bunch of other cosmic god essences toward Tianming.
