Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3960 - A Sword Through the Heart

"You! You...." Yushen Hua fell to the ground, her face pale with despair.

The Skyfiendling didn’t even have the chance to become cosmic god essence. His body stood stiffly even as its starlight faded. The miniature universe was instantly extinguished and reduced to dust. In the history of Upper Star Ruin, no matter how high class the bloodline of an astral giant, their final fate was to return to dust.

Yushen Hua looked again at the youth cloaked in dense purple mist. In her eyes, this person had transformed from a universally scorned lackey from an orbiter world into a devil of slaughter!

"You're not from an orbiter at all! Their races could never produce someone with your level of talent! You must be from the Primordial Sands, sneaking into my Upper Star Ruin and scamming your way into a heavenly punishment protection seed!" Yushen Hua pointed at him, her voice trembling.

"Don’t spout nonsense. I really am from an orbiter," Tianming said in a deep voice, as he chased after her with the Grand-Orient Sword.

"Don’t try to lie. You messed up! A heavenly punishment protection seed isn’t enough to fool anyone!" Yushen Hua’s voice echoed not only through the corridor but also in the Skyfiend Hall.

Killing the Skyfiendling proved his terrifying talent. Based on the Eightpart Pantheons' understanding of the orbiter races, they would surely believe that such a monster could never be born there.

"No, wait! You don’t look like someone from the Primordial Sands either.... Could you be a native of the Ancestral World?" Yushen Hua kept fleeing while her imagination ran wild.

"You're surprisingly sharp!" Tianming was thankful for her assumptions. As long as he wasn’t linked to the flameyellow descendants outside, the better it was for him. He also appreciated how effective Zi Zhen’s purple mask was. Its impenetrable illusions concealed all of his abilities.

"You’re not getting away." In the blink of an eye, the Thousandway Blitzrun brought Tianming right behind Yushen Hua.

The Grand-Orient Sword pierced through Yushen Hua’s back, the force shattering her organs. Then, Bai Ling’s twenty infant souls unleashed blinding white sword ki that stabbed into her brain.

A sword pierced her heart, and her brain exploded!

"You’ll suffer—" Before she could finish, her spiritform middlekin astrons were completely obliterated!

These two little Sixths were especially ruthless in executing cosmic gods. Whether it was the ashura or the Sin Pantheon, neither could resist their ever-growing power. Bai Ling, especially, had superior foundations, and ever since joining the symbiotic cultivation system, its lethality had skyrocketed. Even without omniscient power, it was already terrifying.

Yushen Hua was dead. Tianming had merely swatted her away as an afterthought.

"The chaos here is already massive. I need to quickly grab those ninelives fruits." After killing the two of them, Tianming casually took their spatial rings. A quick skim revealed plenty of manna and Ancestral World fruits. Clearly, the Skyfiendling had a huge haul this trip. It seemed all his team’s loot had been handed over to him, which Tianming had now inherited.

Tianming stopped counting and immediately rushed back to the hidden cave.

The moment the Skyfiendling died, the sixty maniverse-class wildbeasts trapped inside the hidden cave instantly regained their freedom. They went berserk and went from war assets for the ashuras to enemies in their midst!

With the collapse of their strongest warrior, the ashuras began to fall apart. More and more warbeasts lost control, some even attacking their own allies. This was their race’s greatest weakness!

Once control was lost, it caused unimaginable disasters. Especially when a leader was slain, their warbeasts became liabilities on the battlefield.

The hidden cave was thrown into complete disarray.

"The Skyfiendling is dead!"

"Who killed him?!"

The noble son of the Cobalt Overfiend, ranked in the top twenty of the Ten Desolate Cosmic Genii Ranking, who strutted across Cobalt Lord like an emperor over billions, had died here.

Those ashuras who still had fighting power paled. They used their warbeasts to cover their retreat. They didn’t care how many beasts they lost as long as they could keep their lives.

They were now reaping the consequences of their earlier arrogance. They were all youngsters, naturally cocky when winning, but crumbling completely when losing. They didn’t even have the guts to curse as they fled in disgrace.

They didn’t even know how the situation had deteriorated....

"Lin Feng killed the Skyfiendling?!" Jiang Lincheng, Jiang Datou, and Jiang Xiaobai were all overjoyed and awestruck when they heard this.

"How did he pull it off?" Jiang Datou asked in shock. Tianming had been about the same level as him when they first met.

"The ashuras may have fragile bodies, but their eye arts are still formidable...." Jiang Lincheng himself wasn’t confident he could take down the Skyfiendling one-on-one.

"All I can say is that he’s unbelievably powerful!" Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes sparkled. She seemed to have found an idol.

"Yeah." Jiang Lincheng felt a little embarrassed. If he’d trusted Tianming from the start... never mind, Jiang Yulian would have just left earlier.

"Doesn’t matter now." At the very least, the brothers got the chance to kill to their heart’s content. All their earlier frustration and suppression had evaporated!

"Clean up! Don’t let any of them escape!" Jiang Lincheng resumed the assault, and his violetrose electrowings swept across the hidden cave, bringing a storm of electricity with it.

One after another, ashura and Sin Pantheon members were struck down amid roars and pleas. Some became cosmic god essence, and some were even slain outright.

By the time Tianming returned to the hidden cave, it seemed they barely needed him anymore.

"Yushen An and eight or nine other cosmic gods managed to flee. The rest are still trapped and being slaughtered. It won’t take long."

Yushen An was someone Tianming had wanted to kill. But the guy was cunning. The moment he saw the Skyfiendling die, he ditched everyone, including his own sister, and escaped amid the chaos.

It was hard to keep a fifth-level cosmic god here.

"With people getting away, I need to act fast." Tianming planned to leave the cleanup to Jiang Lincheng and headed straight for the ninelives fruits.

But just then, Princess You You of the devas suddenly appeared in front of Tianming, with nary a scratch on her.
