Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2027

“We can’t let even one survive, or they’ll be new seeds for a calamity. The most important thing for our new world now is growth!” Li Wudi said. If battle could be avoided, avoiding it would be the best option.

Tianming thought about it. “The opponent is too far from the sun. I can only use my own personal power, so we’ll have to rely on you and the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb.”

“It should be enough. We have to fight them in the end, regardless. If we don’t try, we won’t know their strength,” Li Wudi said.

“I expect it to be within an acceptable range. If they were that strong, they wouldn’t have hidden so far away and they would’ve joined in the earlier battle,” Tianming said. Wudi's power when supported by the coffin was indeed mighty and impressive. And he had inherited most of the sun emperor's power. Furthermore, there was now the super Ninedragon Imperial Tomb as well!

"Make your preparations, we're immediately setting out."

Before setting off, Tianming asked Qingyu about Lingfeng's condition.

"He's still the same. The Xenoworld Gate is already a thousand meters wide. It seems to have already started sucking things in, too," she replied.

"Alright. We'll see how it goes when I come back.” The watchers had to be resolved as soon as possible, or there wouldn’t be any point moving the sun. Flameyellow’s migration had already been completed. The watchers and Lingfeng were the only things left on the agenda.

“Let’s go!” The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb’s astralship core had already turned into a nine-headed dragon. When Tianming merged with the dragon and became one with the astralship core, he felt like he had become the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, a nine-headed dragon constructed of various parts.

For a moment, a childish desire burned in him. Tianming roared, “Take to the skies, Ninedragon Ship!”

Wudi simply sighed behind him.

……

The blood-colored jade bracelet wasn’t the only thing capable of concealing itself; the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb was capable of it as well. When an astralship entered the astralscape, it was like a fish swimming in the sea or a bird flying in the skies. While it could fly near the sun, too, how could a tiny lake compare to the vast sea?

The more mighty an astralship was, the more the astralscape would be its natural environment. When Tianming had driven the tomb before, it was like steering a ship. Now, he could dash through the astralscape or even stealthily creep through it. It was just much more bumpy than before.

“Goddammit. You’re trying to weaken me before we even start the fight. Are you a spy?” Wudi’s face was green and he felt like puking.

“Relax, we’re back to normal operations now.” Jokes were jokes, but Tianming’s demeanor changed as they entered the hunting area. He was now the hunter!

“They’re definitely watching the sun. We’ll be discovered if we go straight toward them. Their ship is a transport, so it’s definitely fast. I’m making a loop around it to avoid their notice.” As Tianming spoke, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb lost its luster and turned black. It seemed to have merged into space. Due to the easier controls, it made less of a disturbance now.

Tianming could already see the shadowy area up ahead. According to the position provided by Yin Chen, he would arrive behind them after making a huge loop! This had two advantages.

First, the enemy’s attention would be directed toward the sun. If they had low manpower, they would neglect the back. They would subconsciously not expect the enemy to appear behind them, either.

Second, the area behind them was shadowy and had even more obstructions, so it would be more effective at hiding the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb.

“We don’t have many chances. We must succeed in the first move. The astralship is the main target, as they can’t catch up to the sun without it. They won’t even be able to do anything but stay here and wait for death,” Wudi said.

“Yes!”

The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb crept through the darkness. Six hours later, Tianming found his prey. “I admit, they hid well.” He narrowed his eyes. With so much dust there, it really was hard to spot an astralship hidden there.

“Then why… haven’t you… started praising… me yet?” Yin Chen said.

“You’re awesome!” That was a fact. The Myriadworld Immortabeast was indeed awesome to be able to find something that was so well-hidden. In truth, the dream about Yin Chen had shown that it was a beast of the stars. The astralscape was its playground, so it was normal for it to be so special in space.

Tianming deeply inhaled. He was close enough to shoot forward for the killing blow.

“Wait,” Wudi said.

“Hmm?”

“They definitely think they’re safe here. As more time passes, their caution will drop and they’ll go do other things. Our chances will improve,” Wudi explained.

“Alright.” The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb stayed on the spot, laying in wait like a tiger. As long as the blood-colored jade bracelet didn’t move, Tianming wouldn’t either.

Some time passed.

“I guess it’s go time now?” Wudi said.

“What? Only two hours have passed, what’s the difference?” Tianming asked.

“Honestly? I was just thirsty and wanted some wine. It really doesn’t make any difference. If you wait too long, the risk of being noticed exists too.”

“Seriously? Are you toying with me?” Tianming was speechless.

“Didn’t you do the same? We’re even now.”

Tianming couldn’t even be bothered to deal with him. “Get ready!”

“Hah. I’ve been buried by the sun emperor for so long, so it’s finally my time to shine.” Fighting spirit ignited in Wudi’s eyes.

Tianming stretched some of the dragon’s muscles. The nine dragon heads actually looked quite scary.

Imposing, tyrannical, and divine!

The nine dragon palaces were currently filled with miniaturized nova sources, which Tianming directed to fill the tomb’s entire body. There was so much nova source that the charging was immediately completed.

The hunter exploded into action. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb shone with radiance and the shadowy area welcomed light that had never appeared there ever before. An ear-splitting roar birthed waves of shock in the hunted.

Fast, abrupt, and sudden! There was no warning at all.

Of a dozen plus specters, ten were even still in the wondersky realm. Only five were casually chatting while looking at the sun, not daring to be negligent. They had never expected a fatal threat would suddenly rise up from behind them.
