Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2598 - The Big Fish Takes the Bait

The Star Hunters had already thought it through and had come prepared to fight to the death. So as soon as they saw the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, thousands of lifebound beasts and totems, and even some specters began their siege. Among them were more than two hundred cosmic cartographers wielding ether-class cosmic artifacts.

"It looks like killing me is their only way out!" Tianming sneered, steering the tomb right into the crowd of enemies. It was like a big ship under attack from ten thousand fish. There was great turbulence on the astralship, but Tianming had yet to fully activate the Whitedragon Silvermoon shield and could still take them on. In fact, the astral gods were simply digging their own graves by completely exposing themselves to the tomb. Since they were so eager to sacrifice themselves, for the sake of the peace and safety of the Sun, Tianming wouldn’t be polite either!

Like a giant metal beast covered in armor, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb shot through the crowd of people and beasts, leaving a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood on the ground below. There were over a hundred cosmic cartographers still grinding away at the tomb with their cosmic artifacts, creating ripples on the Whitedragon Silvermoon that grew bigger and bigger! The Star Hunters had gone mad. No matter how great their losses were, it no longer mattered.

"Kill Lin Feng and victory is ours!"

"Kill! Kill him!"

Eyes red, they resembled evil spirits. Tianming seemed too calm in contrast.

"Why hasn’t he shown up...." His heart pounded.

At that moment, Tianming's eyes lit up!

The “abdomen” of the tomb was suddenly dealt a heavy blow by a powerful attack beyond any ordinary ether-class cosmic artifact.

"He’s here!"

The Star Hunters’ big boss, their current leader, the biggest threat on the Sun! This time, his attack nearly broke through the Whitedragon Silvermoon, which was operating at eighty percent power. Tianming quickly notified Lin Xiaodao and Wudi!

"Little Fish!" Moran, his hidden weapon, finally came in handy.

The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb turned and fired away, throwing off all the enemies around it. At the same time, Moran’s firmament ocean wonder swept out, instantly enveloping the tomb.

"Found him!" Moran said. Although he was invisible, Moran could locate him through her divine wonder.

"Use fifty percent of your power first!" Tianming calmly said. The big fish had finally appeared! If he didn’t let the “children” go, he wouldn’t be able to trap the wolf. That method had already been used against the Star Hunters once in the astralship battle, but as long as those desperados were given a chance, they would still take the bait.

First, show weakness. Then, a deadlock. And when the enemy sensed the danger, suppress him. He just had to hold on until Lin Xiaodao and Wudi arrived; therefore, he didn’t fully activate the Whitedragon Silvermoon.

This time, Tianming could see him. There was an invisible person on the underbelly of the tomb. In his hand was a spike that brightly shone and rotated at a terrifying speed. It was so sharp it made his scalp tingle. There was no doubt that it was a high-ether-class cosmic artifact. With that thing, breaking into the Reaper or the tomb wouldn’t be a big problem.

Tianming couldn’t let him breach the tomb. To get rid of the man, he initiated an attack. The tomb expelled fire from its abdomen. Under the invisible man's persistent attacks, the scales of the Whitedragon Silvermoon trembled. Tianming was forced to gradually increase its defensive capabilities by injecting nova source into it.

It was a mental battle!

More and more Star Hunters surrounded them; they had definitely received an order. Without concern for their own lives, they rushed towards the tomb to clear a path for their big boss. Abilities, beasts, and cosmic artifacts bombarded the ship. The opponent's desperate attacks put tremendous pressure on Tianming.

"Die!" He didn't have to pretend to struggle. Under such great pressure, he had to give it his all.

The dragon sank its teeth in and raised its claws! Any lifebound beast that dared approach was turned into a bloody, mutilated mess. Whenever the dragon flicked its pink sword-shaped tail, corpses flew. Tianming wouldn’t be able to hit so many of them if the Star Hunters weren’t surrounding the astralship. Once more, the Dragonrage Canon was unleashed, blasting a blood-filled hole in the ground.

The main role of Moran’s firmament ocean wonder was to interfere with the opponent’s attacks, but at the same time, control its power to give the opponent hope of succeeding.

"Big boss, you’re so obsessed that you’ve fallen into the same trap twice!"

The plan was only successful due to the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb’s special nature. If Tianming had been operating any other astralship, or if he didn’t have Moran, he might not be able to survive the disaster. At the end of the day, it was a battle of who had better resources.

More and more Star Hunters perished in their desperate, final attempt. The Whitedragon Silvermoon was on the verge of collapse under the big boss’ attack.

"He’ll soon discover that beneath is the tomb’s real body!"

Moran had yet to unleash her divine wonder’s full power as well.

Tianming adjusted his attacks based on Lin Xiaodao's progress. When he saw that it was almost time, he opened the shield, faking defeat. As soon as that happened, the Star Hunters went crazy.

"We’re almost there! Victory!"

"Big boss, fight!"

They fought even more fervently, like moths to a flame, using their corpses to pave a wide road to victory for their big boss. Their dedication made Tianming look at them with a whole new level of respect. After fighting the enemy for so long, it was only at that moment that he realized how terrifying they were.

"Only such crazy bandits could cause such a tragedy on Greenglow!" The people of the Sun weren’t much better than those on Greenglow. Tianming didn't want the same tragedy to happen there, so he had to be calm and play it slow.

After “breaking” the Whitedragon Silvermoon, the invisible man discovered that the astralship formation hadn’t been destroyed. Gritting his teeth, he continued the attack. The Whitedragon Silvermoon was a shield, and what the Star Hunter’s big boss was fighting now was the main body of the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, which was constructed of ether ores.

The cosmic artifact in his hand was powerful indeed. It left holes in the surface of the tomb, but given his current progress, it would still take some time to destroy the formation. Moran was also obstructing his attacks at the same time.

Tianming continued doing his best to eliminate the “moths” that rushed toward him. The battle to take down the tomb was quite tragic. The bloody, gruesome scene made more of a visual impact than the battle above the blazing clouds, where the corpses were destroyed. They completely held down the tomb as their big boss frantically chipped away at the tomb.

Tianming remained calm. "It’s time for the evernight whale wonder. Use more power!"
