Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 4255 - First Imperial Son, Save Us!

Just like that, a general commanding a thousand-strong heavencosmic army was defeated by Tianming! Lin Ran and Lin Shuang had attacked for what felt like an eternity, yet failed to land a single blow.

However, Tianming’s one move unleashed utter devastation. An eight-thousand-meter-tall cosmic god reduced to a blazing inferno–this was a spectacular sight, even for a battlefield.

Witnessing this, the remaining cosmic gods were struck by a paralyzing fear of the imperial son. Their fighting spirit shattered at that very moment.

"This is crazy!"

Li Nianjiao and the flamemaple cosmic gods were visibly shaken. "The Realm of Chaos’ contempt for the imperial son is a disaster waiting to happen. Imperator Skyplunder’s banquet was a warning in disguise, but none of the other starcages took it seriously."

As the thought crossed her mind, Li Nianjiao sensed something even bigger was to come. Now that the conflict had begun, it wouldn't end until one side was completely destroyed.

"Who cares! Imperator Jian has turned his back on Violetblitz’s interests and joined forces against us. We have no choice but to fight!"

Inspired by the thought, Li Nianjiao commanded flamemaple to finish off their opponents.

At this point, those who mocked Tianming had been utterly crushed. Hai Mu had turned to dust, and naturally, Lin Ran and Liu Shuang had the most ghastly expressions.

They exchanged a profound look.

"Imperial Son, your disrespect for a general of Aquamarine will bring ruin to Nullity!" Lin Ran said coldly.

"Just Aquamarine?” Clutching his sword, Tianming locked eyes with the couple before leaping toward them. "I didn't say you can leave." He sneered.

"You?" A brief tremor ran across Lin Ran’s face as he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, five hundred ghoul kings appeared behind Tianming. Freshly freed from their battle, their massive bodies encircled Lin Ran and Lin Shuang. Their grotesque faces and dreadful roars made them truly horrifying.

Liu Shuang's face turned pale.

"It’s my turn."

With that, Tianming rushed towards the couple with a tide of lifebound beasts, wonder, and ghoul kings.

"Lin Ran! Run!" Liu Shuang trembled.

"I can't!" Lin Ran frowned, looking back. More than a million ghouls swarmed them, blocking their escape.

Amid the horde, the white-haired imperial son was a frightful sight, like a ghoul king descending upon the Realm of Chaos.

"What should we do?"

Liu Shuang was truly terrified. Hai Mu hadn't condensed her cosmic-god essence since being blown apart, so Tianming had most likely slaughtered her.

"It's okay! It's okay..." Words of comfort were all Lin Ran could offer, though his own heart trembled. He glared at Tianming and snickered. "A hundred thousand years old and you’re still too scared to face your equals. Instead, you prey on the young ones, hiding behind your tortoise shell! How are you worthy of your title?”

Tianming was speechless.

Was this all they had? A 10,000-year-old cosmic god, and he calls himself a young one?

Tianming was furious.

"Fuck you!"

He had no intention of leaving them alive.

The ghouls were fearless. They surged forward and attacked with a terrifying variety of strange methods, lashing out with sharp claws and serpentine red tongues. Among these ghouls were all manner of horrors, some like a pool of murky water, others appeared as eerie purple infants, some with necks stretched to disturbing lengths, and others covered in eyes alone. As the ghoul army launched a ferocious assault, their opponents were already paralyzed with terror before the first ghoul even drew blood.

"Lin Ran!" Liu Shuang screamed.

The couple was instantly separated, their colossal bodies pulled into the sea of ​​ghouls as despair swallowed them. What was more terrifying was the fact that they couldn’t see where Tianming was. The man had disappeared!

Although Liu Shuang was terrified, her fears were unfounded at the moment. Tianming didn't usually kill women first. He descended upon Lin Ran's head, gearing for another killing blow.

"Li Tianming!" Lin Ran roared. "You've already killed ten thousand violetblitzians. This is just a simple contest in the Chaos Star Ruin. We’ve surrendered but you're still attacking us. We’ve notified our people, and they will be furious! If this turns into war, we’ll come for Nullity. The Mu clan is weak. Innocent lives will be lost because of you.”

“Li Tianming, you’re aware that Nullity is the weakest starcage, aren’t you? If it weren't for the skyplunderers, the Mu clan would have been annihilated and Nullity would be an empty husk!"

"The Mu clan is too weak to deserve the status of Chaos imperials! It was the skyplunderers who kept them. We’ve spared the Mu clan for Imperator Skyplunderer’s sake, not yours! Foolish child, your recklessness will undo the balance your father and brother worked hard to maintain. You’ll plunge the Realm of Chaos into a bloody war!”

Lin Ran’s fear was unmistakable, words pouring out of him in a shrill tone.

"Where's Mu Qingqing? She’d stop this madness if she were here!" Liu Shuang’s voice trembled.

They were utterly petrified.

Hearing Lin Ran’s words, Tianming paused for a moment.

"I can’t believe this. There are no formations in the Realm of Chaos so nova sources are essentially defenseless. It makes protecting the weak really difficult." Tianming shook his head.

Perhaps Li Muyang wouldn’t be so constrained if he had the Flameyellow Guard Formation. Outsiders could enter the imperial-class Nullity as they pleased, not to mention fortuna-class and maniverse-class worlds.

However, their threats couldn’t stop Tianming. He wasn't Li Muyang or Li Tianzi, so he didn’t have to follow the same path. He was ready to leave if things went wrong.

"Someone has to play the villain!"

His renewed attack undoubtedly terrified Lin Ran.

Unfortunately, Tianming didn’t expect reinforcements to arrive so quickly.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sky, obscuring the light. Tianming looked up to see a 90,000-meter-tall giant, whose head was lost in the clouds. It was the black-haired version of himself, Li Tianzi. Behind him was Mu Qingqing and the Mu clan’s thirty-thousand-strong heavencosmic army.

"Li Tianzi is here!"

In a surprising turn of events, the violetblitzians, torch dragonoids, and aquamars were the first to burst into tears upon hearing the news. Battered and on the brink of death, the cosmic gods still standing quickly kneeled before Li Tianzi. They were overcome with joy.

"First Imperial Son, save us!" They cried.
