Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2031

The strength of the faceless specters lay in their physical combat power, and Qiang was far more powerful than Crimsonjade Long. His blood transformed into a crimson metal. He was clearly a man, yet his body was hard and powerful like a top-grade divine artifact, comparable to Tianming’s Friendsky Arm. The faceless specters used their bodies as swords, fusing with divine hazard sword ki so each of them were essentially a humanoid weapon. They also possessed abilities.

Qiang smashed his fist in the air. A blood-red storm raged, forming a giant beast shaped like a dragon that went head-to-head with Tianming’s dragon-shaped swords. Amidst the violent storm, sword ki surged. The decapath era godswords and Flint Infernal Impulse exploded in power at the same time. With a destructive momentum, the dragon-shaped swords devastated the red storm in almost an instant. Immense sword ki swarmed over Qiang as the tip of the Grand-Orient Sword collided with his fist and an ear-piercing clang filled the air. Qiang cried out in pain as the Flint Infernal Impulse erupted, causing his entire arm to explode. Cracks appeared in his metallic flesh when the dense sword ki ravaged his body.

“Emperor Qiang!"

The remaining survivors were both women who quickly caught Qiang in a panic. The shadow of death shrouded them. Ever since their companions had died in battle, they couldn’t breathe and were too afraid to utter a single syllable.

"Li Tianming!" Staring gloomily at his broken arm, Qiang said, "If you really want to fight me, fight fair and square. You don’t have to use sudden attacks. I won’t be defeated if I’m ready!"

"There’s no need for that, I have the answer I want." Tianming wanted to know if his combat power was comparable to a first-level sovereign without the power from his believers. In fact, being able to defeat Qiang would mean he was stronger than ordinary first-level sovereigns. That was mainly due to the power of the Flint Infernal Impulse. Its lethality was too severe for ordinary sovereigns to handle and was still extremely powerful even without Omnisentient Threads.

The Godsin turned into chains, then flickered toward Qiang and wrapped around his body. He was already severely wounded, and now bound by the sword-chain. He was completely unable to move.

"What should we do, Emperor Qiang?" the two faceless specters hoarsely asked, their faces impatient.

"It's okay. The fact that I’m still alive means I’ve persuaded them," Qiang said.

"Emperor Qiang is noble indeed. You’re useful to them, but what about us...." The two looked at each other. Qiang didn’t speak. In just an instant, Tianming appeared in front of them and the Godsin whipped around them. Solarians were helpless against Tianming.

"If he doesn’t kill us, we won't die. We’ll have opportunities as long as we’re alive!" Qiang whispered to the two. Only by enduring could they find a way out. And he was ready. Although Qiang had no eyes, he firmly stared at Tianming.

"What’s he doing?"

At that moment, Tianming stretched out his hand and eight-starred ladybugs landed on his palm, melting and transforming into silver ants. "The bones of the faceless specters may be harder than grade-nine divine ores. Can you eat them?" Tianming asked.

Qiang was shocked. Who was Tianming talking to? Amidst his astonishment, Tianming contemptuously laughed, as if he had received a satisfactory reply. Just then, the sword-chain wrapped around their bodies began tearing at their flesh, the friction producing sparks. The sound of metal cutting into metal was so ear-piercing it made their scalps tingle.

"You!"

Soon, gashes appeared in their flesh. It had taken a sword created with the formless glacier so long to slice through their flesh and bones, which was a testament to the sturdiness of their physique. Then, bonegnaw ants gathered in front of the faceless specters like a small lake.

"What the hell are you doing, Li Tianming?!" Qiang had an ominous premonition.

"It might take a while and it might hurt, so bear with it. This is just a necessary part of growth," he laughed. "You’re a man. Let's start with you."

The bonegnaw ants hadn’t demonstrated their terror for a long time. Tianming had freed those who were once controlled by the bonegnaw ants, like Yun Tianque and Gujian Qingshuang. Those people had also been punished. Li Wushuang was dead and Tianming wasn’t planning on keeping these three specters alive. However, he had to employ this ruthless approach to get some answers out of them. He would use the bonegnaw ants alongside the Imperial Sword Prison.

They communicate through the wondersky realm where the bonegnaw ants can’t monitor, so it won’t be easy to control and use him. It was different from before. Otherwise, he would be able to use Qiang with the ants monitoring him at all times.

What happened next was excruciating. After experiencing both bonegnaw ants and the Imperial Sword Prison, the three faceless specters were close to collapsing.

"Li Tianming, you’re the devil! You’ll...." Upon meeting Tianming’s gaze, Qiang couldn’t bring himself to curse or threaten him. He was really terrified. He could clearly feel the countless ants lying dormant in his bones and the Imperial Sword Prison hanging over his heart. Fear pervaded every limb. No matter how proud the hundred-year-old sovereign was, he was overcome by the fear of death in the face of Tianming and Wudi. He couldn't figure it out. Wasn’t Tianming planning on using his identity? Trembling, he stared at the white-haired youth

Tianming clapped his hands. "We’re going to separate the three of you and ask you the same questions. Whoever answers differently from the other two will be killed at once! If all three of your answers are different, I’ll have to thank you for giving me three kills." Short and sweet! Tianming didn't think they could match their answers beforehand. But it was too late now, even if Qiang wanted to speak. Wudi took one of them with him, while the solar infernalblood kunpeng took another. Yin Chen was in charge of transmitting information between the three of them.

Tianming stared Crimsonjade Qiang down and said, "Resign yourself to fate." Qiang lowered his head. "Let’s get right to it. How many divine astralships are there? Who’s in command? You have to be smart about this. Make sure your answer is the same as the other two or you’ll die." Tianming warned.

Qiang’s entire body shook like a leaf. "You’ll die miserably! Violetglory is your Achilles heel!" he shouted.

"Oh." Tianming smiled, shrugging his shoulders. After listening to Yin Chen, he said, "I'm sorry to tell you that your subordinates aren’t as persistent. They told us about the two thousand astralships, two of which are deific-class. Two of the Three Sovereigns Mysterium, including your father, are in command." Tianming rolled his eyes. "Are you trying to start a war? Killing a chicken with an axe is already overkill, but here you are, using it on an ant like me. Do you think too highly of me? That can only mean one thing: there’s something on this sun that you want. What can it be? I’ll ask them." Tianming waited for answers.

Meanwhile, Qiang remained silent with his head lowered and his remaining hand tightly clenched, his body filled with rage. "Oh, the answer’s been revealed. Looks like you call the sun your Skyway Quadstar. Are you still going to lie now that the truth is out?" Tianming took a deep breath. "An opportunity for the mysterians to have another deific-class world? What a great cause! It doesn’t matter how noble your identity is. How can I use you in exchange for Violetglory’s safety?" It was as Tianming had guessed.

Although Qiang had refused to mention Skyway Quadstar, his subordinates couldn’t bear the torment of the bonegnaw ants. He knew that as soon as the words “Skyway Quadstar" were spoken, he would die. The more important the sun, the less valuable he was. So he broke down as soon as Tianming uttered the words.

"Li Tianming, a man’s wealth will be his own undoing because of the envy it elicits in others. You’re already in the game and there’s no way out. I may die today, but your death will be a million times worse!" He looked up in a rage.

"I can’t let you down if you think you’re going to die. According to the rules of our game, they answered honestly. You’re the only one that’s still trying to put up a tough front. This is the end for you, Qiang." With the information revealed, nothing else mattered. Crimsonjade Qiang was of no use to him.

"Don't tell me you’re going to let them live?" Qiang sneered.

"Of course. I keep my word. I’ll remove their heavenly locus formation, place them with the Skywolf specters, and abolish their cultivation so they can spend the rest of their days in peace. Because they were obedient, they’ll have a better ending than you." Tianming was very particular about things. Although it was better to destroy an enemy from the root, what he was about to do was no different from that.

Qiang roared with laughter. "Very well then. You can wait for all of Violetglory to die because of you!" he threatened with the last of his strength.

Tianming broke into laughter as well.

"Why’re you laughing?" Qiang asked angrily.

"Because you’ve underestimated me. I’ve decided to move the sun to Violetglory Star first. I’ll take Violetglory away before your army arrives. That way, you can’t use it to threaten me," Tianming calmly said. "Believe me, the sun moves faster than you can imagine," he added.

Qiang was lost in a daze.

"Goodbye, sovereign." With a wave of Tianming's hand, the Imperial Sword Prison ended Qiang’s life and he became cosmic dust.
