Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 4280 - Breaking Defense

Tianming felt like he was no longer chasing a person, but a whole universe. Blinding starlight made up the Mysticflare Constellation, which seemed to give his body an even stronger and stable structure. Every middlekin astron found an optimal position to unleash as much power as it could.

The speed a primocosmic god had was absolutely stunning, with starlight flashing and disappearing into the distance in but a mere instant. However, Tianming could use Thousandway Blitzrun with Meow Meow being fused in his right hand. He was able to instantly accelerate and keep up with Yueling Momo, but stopping him was another thing altogether. If he couldn't somehow stop him from running, they would eventually reach Yueling Starcage's territory, which would in turn make it possible for Yueling Momo to summon help to capture Tianming.

He simply didn't have much time to spare. Yueling Momo must be heading towards the closest nearby fortress and he made sure to mock Tianming to keep him on his tail. "Impreial Son, you've turned weak as cotton after a hundred thousand years. All you have left is your tough turtle shell."

"Is that so?" Tianming appeared in front of him once more. The white-haired youth's glow permeated the storms of the Inverse Battlefield, some of that coming from the boundless power of the chaos swordmaidens within his Grand-Orient Sword. Without another word, Tianming raised the blade and slashed it towards the primocosmic god in constellation form, unleashing his own heavencosmic power!

Worldsplitter Thrice Divine, First Slash! The might of the void-class cosmic art of the Flameyellow was unparalleled in the universe! The Grand-Orient Sword's powerful projection swept towards the Mysticflare Constellation, stretching tens of millions of meters across the Inverse Battlefield, causing spatial tears to appear! Then, the strike clashed squarely against the flaming constellation, creating a flash so bright that a vortex formed up in the sky. It looked like a clash of two universes, with the smaller one managing to push the bigger one aside!

The bigger universe slammed into the ground and rolled for millions of meters, leaving a long trail of charred ground in its wake before reforming into Yueling Momo. With a disdainful smile on his face, he said, "Is that all you got? You're only just as good as a backscratcher."

Tianming did feel rather angered by those words. Normally, that strike of his would be able to kill twelfth-level heavencosmic gods without issue, but it was indeed insufficient for taking Yueling Momo down thanks to his Mysticflare Constellation. The cosmic constellation had granted Yueling Momo a special power that didn't seem to come from the Realm of Chaos itself. Instead, it seemed like an outside force. Every single middlekin astron within his body seemed like it was actually releasing its own nova source, hence his confidence.

"Guess you're not going to try anymore. How boring." Yueling Momo shrugged and flew past Tianming before flying off again. That whole pursuit was nothing more than a cheap joke to him.

"That imperial son finally suffered some humiliation." He chuckled and felt much better about himself, a change of pace from the past few years of breakdowns. Getting one up over the imperial son was enough to make him feel better.

He didn't expect to hear another crackle of lightning from behind him. Furrowing his brows, he turned around, only to see Tianming behind him, glaring coldly. "When are you going to quit it?"

"There's no rush. I have many other ways to try out." Flames and lightning gathered in both of his arms before a crimson-black phoenix and lightning feline beast appeared.

"Lifebound beasts? What good are they for?"

"Breaking your defense."

"Hahahahaha!"

Ying Huo couldn't stand the mockery and snapped, "You smug old fuck, I've come to show you what a professional defense-breaking ability looks like!"

"Oh?" Tianming still wasn't quite sure about what Ying Huo wanted to do, but its words inspired confidence. It was finally time. What he didn't understand was why Ying Huo needed to separate from him to use that ability, which would limit it to its own infernal cosmoforce without other boosts that being fused with Tianming could offer it, making abilities weaker. It seemed everything hinged upon the innate mechanics of this new ability.

Ying Huo rose into the sky and turned around to look at Tianming. "We are one stage weaker than him, so all we can do now is to break the structure of his constellation. You'll still have to defeat him properly after that!"

"Got it. I'll follow your lead," Tianming said. They had been their strongest fused together since the Myriadpath Valley days, so they hadn't had the chance to fight as a team for quite a while. This was rather nostalgic, and though they were rather out of practice, the teamwork they had built up simply needed some dusting off. Ying Huo and Meow Meow shot across the battlefield and Tianming joined them from behind.

"You three have become weaker after splitting up! You'd be better off charging me all together! Not to mention..." With Tianming's beasts separated, they weren't protected by the skypole stars. "Are you suicidal?" Yueling Momo knew that a huge part of Tianming's combat capabilities came from his lifebound beasts. If Yueling Momo could kill the weak beasts, that would make him an absolute legend!

Now's my chance! Yueling Momo hadn't planned to go all out, but he made up his mind. An astral lance tens of thousands of meters in length appeared in his hand, surrounded by astral flames. It looked like a structure formed by many connected stars.
