Beastmaster of the Ages

“It isn’t up to you whether there’s a relationship or not. The slightest investigation will reveal everything. You at least have a good relationship with their top powers, since you entered with the identity of a violetglorian. You can run, but Violetglory will be destroyed because of you,” Qiang coldly revealed his trump card. He had been thinking about it for quite a while.

Tianming couldn’t help but laugh, “Bro, are you okay? Where did you hear that I’m a righteous and sentimental person? You even thought of using Violetglory to threaten me? Why stop there? Pick a few more nova source worlds, and even those from your Mysterium Cluster’s core region. Threaten me and say you’ll wipe them out if I run away. Doesn’t that sound ridiculous?”

“Don’t bother trying to confuse me. I’m certain that Violetglory’s factions have a relationship with you. It’s up to you if their world will be destroyed and if you feel any regrets,” Qiang mercilessly said. His thoughts were still on track—and his guesses were right.

Tianming didn’t just have a relationship with Violetglory, but also owed them a debt of gratitude. It was only thanks to their fostering that Tianming had been able to return to the sun and turn the tide at the critical moment. Sovereign Starfeather, Mu Ziyan, and the rest had all treated him very well. There was also his billion followers there.

Most importantly, Feiling was nearby still on Primary.

Tianming had known that would be a problem as soon as Qiang spoke. Denial was pointless, as the other side would definitely investigate.

Tianming and the mysterians had discarded all pretense of cordiality. It also proved his early speculations that he could never work with them. It would have been strange if he could go to a foreign race while covered in treasures.

While Tianming was silent, Qiang continued, “My father is one of the Three Sovereigns Mysterium, the rulers of the faceless specters. My words carry weight with the mysterians. If you let me live today, he can give Violetglory a chance at life in the future.” That was the most important part of his words today, the request for survival. He had clearly listed all the advantages and disadvantages for Tianming.

Tianming and Wudi looked at each other, then Tianming suddenly laughed, “Qiang, right? I’m a little confused. First you all send out a fleet, and now you’re using Violetglory to threaten me. We just destroyed two heliacal-class worlds, so why mobilize so many people? How many ships did you send out?” Could they have discovered that the sun was a super nova source world? Could they even restore it? That was the only possible answer. Tianming had spent so much time talking to Qiang while trying to determine some things.

“That’s because… this is a treasure.” Qiang suddenly had a bright idea and pointed to the coffin instead of saying ‘Skyway Quadstar’.

“You want to survive even though you’re lying?” Tianming shrugged.

“I’m telling the truth. Really. You won’t have a chance to stop it when Violetglory meets a catastrophe if I die. When the time comes, if you offer me and this treasure, we mysterians may just overlook the matter of Skywolf,” Qiang seriously said. His words were clearly all for the purpose of survival.

“Is your life that valuable?” Tianming was doubtful.

“Quite a bit. Not as much as this coffin, but more than Skywolf,” Qiang said. He never mentioned anything about ‘Skyway Quadstar’

“Alright then! Let it be decided by strength, then. If you can survive my sword, I’ll consider leaving you alive.” Tianming’s hands gripped the Grand-Orient Sword.

Qiang’s heart skipped a beat. “Seriously?” Actually, he found it strange. Why did the current Li Tianming feel much less frightening than when he had battled the sun emperor? He didn’t know why! Maybe it’s just a temporary boost? The matters on the sun were simply too weird. Even now, he still didn’t know why the red-haired sun emperor was following Tianming.

“I don’t think there’s a need!” he said.

“There is. I want to see how far my real strength is from the mysterians’ precentennial paragon!” Tianming didn’t give Qiang a chance to refuse. His bane-rings lit up and the ten decapath era godswords flew out. Over the past two months, his terra had finally gestated in the bane-rings and formed new totems. The reborn decapath era godswords were even more solid and domineering than before. With the various profundities gathered together, the ten swords swirling around Tianming was a flashy display of might,

"Seriously?” Qiang was confused about the sequence of events. Tianming didn’t respond to his threat to Violetglory, but instead challenged him to a duel. What was going on?

Before he could think it through, Tianming was shooting toward him.

The Fiendsky Arm! The Grand-Orient Sword! The Flint Infernal Impulse! The decapath era godswords!

With those four elements, Tianming’s current sword body and sword ki were in an entirely different realm. Tianming’s Fiendsky Arm grew stronger by the day, due to the nova source’s tempering. His body’s strength wasn’t boosted by his Omnisentient Threads, so it hadn’t been very useful in the previous battles. Now, however, it was one of Tianming’s core combat strengths! The Flint infernal Impulse was released from the Grand-Orient Sword and the Imperealm Sword Formation, which the the decapath era godswords were perfectly compatible with.

Tianming just wanted to try it; thus, he didn’t do anything unnecessary and simply used the Ninedragon Tribulation’s last strike, Imperialdragon Flameyellow Immemorial, to attack Qiang.

The attack was clearly weaker than when it had beaten the sun emperor. However, this was his true power, that of a sixth-level solarian! The difference was that he was using his totems this time. The Ninedragon Tribulation was only perfect when it was combined with totems. The attack gathered the strength of his Fiendsky Arm and used Flint Infernal Impulse as its core while working in tandem with Tianming’s astralforce that burst out. The decapath era godswords howled as they whistled around him.

Swords met each other and sword ki was born! A fierce attack that carried the will of an emperor through the ages thrust out. It was like a dragon as it moved out, and its divine might cut through the darkness to suddenly arrive in front of Qiang.

“Strong!” Qiang was startled. Fortunately, the attack’s power had a vast gulf from the previous Li Tianming and was still within what Qiang felt he could endure. For the sake of survival, Qiang didn’t underestimate it, though.
