Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2561 - Apocalypse Day for Warbeasts

Tianming's Carnage Imperatoris was just too fierce and savage. Xiaque Ming had been annihilated in an instant, his warbeasts only able to watch helplessly, but not to be of any assistance. That was the difference between lifebound beasts and warbeasts. Infinite beastmasters were their greatest weakness.action

At that moment, lightning surged and crashed while sword ki filled the entire battlefield. “Die, Xiaque Ming!” Tianming’s furious roar resounded.

Countless citizens of Gladeus heard and witnessed it. A hundred-year-old beastmaster versus a three-hundred-year-old ebon. Tianming had far outshone ebon geniuses. Ebon geniuses had been the ceiling of the Infinitum Mundus, but Tianming had shattered that ceiling.

During the Gladeus war, many citizens had placed their faith in Lin Xiaodao. Now, Tianming had opened the doors to their hearts as well.

And he didn’t remain idle. He wielded the Grand-Orient Sword and attacked the warbeasts together with his lifebound beasts. The ink sparrow, sunmoon ringsnakes, and other wildbeasts were all trapped with nowhere to run. The ink sparrow could still fly in all directions, but the sunmoon ringsnakes and others could only become food for Xian Xian. Once the rest had died, the ink sparrow would fall too; it was simply a matter of time. The process held no suspense for the spectators.

Tianming used Carnage Imperatoris several times, each iteration smoother than the last. Using warbeasts for sword practice was an effective training regimen. After the ink sparrow died under his sword, the Infinitum Duel was completely over.

The cheering from outside hadn’t ceased since the moment Xiaque Ming fell in battle, and at that moment, they shook the heavens.

The name ‘Lin Feng’ had already resounded billions of times!

“I need such battles to serve as the foundation of my faith on Gladeus.” However, Tianming was well aware that this particular battle had been Lin Xiaodao’s scheme. Its purpose hadn’t been to kill Xiaque Ming, but to draw out the Gladean ebons’ head honcho, Xiaque Wang.

“How’s it going with my Master?” Tianming asked Yin Chen.

“Already found… and hunting… that fellow!”

As expected. Xiaque Wang was still longing for his son and wondering if his son could change his fate. But as long as Xiaque Wang’s head popped up even for a moment, Yin Chen would discover him.

Lin Xiaodao was currently chasing him in the underground world. Tianming could feel the ground shaking under his feet, which meant Lin Xiaodao had already found his target and they were going through the highest level of battle possible in the underground world. It was undoubtedly an upscaled version of Tianming’s personal fight.

Xiaque Wang was said to have several high-ether-class warbeasts, each of them capable of great destruction.

Many of the citizens had felt the earth trembling. And no wonder, because half of Gladeus was shaking right now. The ground started to fracture and spit out nova source magma and a lot of people were alarmed by the bestial roars coming from underground. The roars of ether-class wildbeasts could even reach the heavens from the deepest depths of the earth.

Tianming was worried, but he knew Lin Xiaodao was the eighth rex mundi and he wouldn’t have laid such a trap if it was a problem. Many citizens knew the Infinitum Duel had been laid as a trap for Xiaque Wang and could only patiently wait like Tianming. It was an important moment for Gladeus’ history.

The ground shook and massive waves rose in the sea. Countless ancient trees similar to the Azurecloud Divine Tree were uprooted.

Tianming had all of his lifebound beasts enter his lifebound space and quietly stood at the top of the highest mountain. After fifteen minutes, Yin Chen informed him that Xiaque Wang’s two strongest warbeasts had been removed from the board. Furthermore, Gongyang Yan was there as well. As a grandmaster of the soul, she could interfere with the ebons’ soul control and make the wildbeasts go mad. That had greatly weakened Xiaque Wang.

And with the Xiao Nu Gourd, Xiaque Wang was fated to die.

Once Xiaque Wang's warbeasts had fallen in battle, the citizens started cheering even louder and their emotions were more fervent. Ever since Lin Xiaodao's victory over the expeditionary force, his reputation had soared. Once the ebons’ myth of invincibility had been shattered, there was nothing left that the people of Gladeus feared.

They had also felt an inferiority complex when comparing themselves to Ebonia and referred to themselves as country bumpkins. But now was their time to hold their heads up high and challenge the elites.

Suddenly, a huge fissure opened up on the ground next to the Skysteep Gladean Battlefield. A figure dressed in a gray robe, carrying a green gourd on his back and wielding a sword, suddenly shot up into the sky. Everyone’s attention was focused on his other hand, which held an enraged head. Only astral gods could survive being decapitated. Naturally, it was Xiaque Wang!

“Lin Xiaodao, Infinitum Bodhimanda’s rebel, Gladeus and you will be turned to ash!” Xiaque Wang shrilly screeched. Resplendent specks of starlight fell from his head as many of his astrons collapsed.

However, Lin Xiaodao ignored him. He raised the head aloft and presented it, grandly announcing, “I’ve apprehended the head of the ebon rebels, Xiaque Wang! I hereby grant him the death sentence, which I, the eighth rex mundi, will now execute. After Xiaque Wang dies, all remaining ebons may choose to surrender. You merely need to give up your warbeasts and report to any highsword city. Become a law-abiding citizen of the Infinitum Bodhimanda and you no longer need to scurry around in the underground world like rats. You’ll always be a part of the Infinitum Bodhimanda so long as you revere and respect it.”
