Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2548 - A Thief Meets Another Thief

The blood cocoon gradually fell apart, the man’s hair retracted, and the outline of a human face emerged from the center. Glancing at the Myriadstar Zone ahead, he said in a hoarse voice, "Big Brother, I want revenge when we’re done here.”

"Lin Changkong and Lin Lingxiao?" the invisible man asked. That was the worst deal they had ever made! They had even lost an ether-class astralship in the Lifeless Chaoshole!

"Yes."

"Don't worry, you’ll get what you want. Although Gladeus is safe, as long as the Swordgod Lin Clan refuses to give up the Infinitum Swordsea, as long as there is war, those in the Infinitum Swordsea will be the first to perish.”

"They won't leave. Their council hall, ancestral mausoleum, and roots are there. The Swordgod Lin Clan won’t resist the moral shackles their ancestors placed on them. They’re good people, and good people are dead people." The invisible man was the complete opposite of the Lin Clan, hence his contemptuous smile. He was sure that everything was under his control, but what he couldn’t see were the eight-starred ladybugs that filled the area surrounding the Myriadstar Zone.

……

"Shit shit!" Tianming was about to begin contemplating the Mural of Carnage when Yin Chen suddenly yelled in his ear. Its harsh mechanical voice almost shattered his eardrums.

"Why the hell are you screaming?" He quickly withdrew from the palace to avoid being confused by the murals.

"What’re you doing?" Lin Xiaodao was right outside. He scrambled to put away the green gourd in his hand, nervously staring at Tianming, afraid that he might see something.

"Thief thief!" Yin Chen shouted. A cockroach anxiously jumped up and down in Tianming's hand.

"You dare mock me?" How could the sky plunderers be called thieves?

Tianming was just about to give it a good beating when it said, "There are… thieves in… the Myriadstar… Zone Zone! A thousand… astralships astralships! They’re the… Star Hunters!”

Tianming's smile froze. He and Lin Xiaodao looked at each other.

“Let’s go!" Taking control of the Gladean Ruins, Lin Xiaodao opened up Opensky Hall. The infinitum-class astralship lifted off and whizzed out of the Hellstar Formation.

The eight-starred ladybugs were spread out near Gladeus, and Lin Xiaodao had set up many lookout points as well. Based on intelligence, he determined that Shenxi Xingtian and his infinitum-class astralship were still on Ebonia. Only then were his worries allayed.

Thus, he piloted the Gladean Ruins away from Gladeus and rushed toward the Myriadstar Zone. Lin Zhongtian, Lin Zhonghai, and the rest were told to guard against anyone that might take advantage of his absence. Yin Chen, who had gradually spread around Gladeus and the Myriadstar Zone, gave Lin Xiaodao his courage. This time, it was the first to discover the enemy and provide important information to Lin Xiaodao and Tianming.

On the way there, Tianming learned the specifics through Yin Chen. "Master, how can interstellar bandits be so powerful? They have ten thousand skypiercer-class astralships, hundreds of deific-class astralships, dozens of sanctuary-class astralships, and nine ether-class astralships!"

Without taking the Gladean Ruins into account, the Star Hunters’ fleet was stronger than all of Gladeus’ astralships combined and could almost match the Swordgod Lin Clan, an Infinitum Regal Clan.

"The Star Hunters are the most powerful bandits in the surrounding mundi. These bastards are locusts of the astralscape who’ll do anything. They were the ones who hunted Lin Lingxiao, but... ended up taking losses?" Lin Xiaodao appeared displeased.

"Yes, they suffered losses." Tianming nodded.

"So they’re taking advantage of the turmoil in the Infinitum Bodhimanda to seize these unowned nova sources and take revenge on the Lin Clan at the same time," Lin Xiaodao said.

“Unfortunately for them, we noticed them early!”

“We should still have a chance to stop them!"

Lin Xiaodao had already set off, while Lin Zhongtian, Lin Zhonghai, and the others would lead the tenth branch’s fleet of astralships.

"We can’t compare in terms of numbers, but we have the Gladean Ruins. That should be enough." Those who had witnessed its might knew how terrifying it was.

Tianming stood in the center of the enormous two-headed dragon that traveled at lightning speed. Ji Ji had already entered the astralship’s nova source, so it glowed pink. Filled with genesis ancestral nova source, the compact nova source grew even more powerful. The astralship had even begun to move faster.

"I've set my sights on the Myriadstar Zone, How dare the Star Hunters come to steal from me, a sky plunderer?" Tianming was, of course, upset that he had encountered a fellow thief.

The Myriadstar Zone shone brightly ahead of them. This was the first time Tianming laid eyes upon it. Although there were ten thousand nova sources in the Mysterium Cluster, they were all scattered around the cluster. But in the Myriadstar Zone, ten thousand nova sources were all gathered in a small area. The top unowned nova source among them was deific-class. Because these unowned nova sources didn’t have fusion formations, they could only be sealed in place with the best transportation formations. However, the function of that particular formation was to transport and seal off nova sources; it couldn’t attack or defend.

"They're over... there there!" Yin Chen kept a close eye on their position.

"We made it in time."

Lin Xiaodao transformed into a two-headed dragon, soared into the starry sky, and shot toward the Myriadstar Zone, majestically roaring. Tianming approached the Myriadstar Zone as well. Because the unowned star sources weren’t sealed with fusion formations, they shone bright and surged with violent energy. And there were ten thousand of them!

"They’re so beautiful…." Perhaps Tianming was overwhelmed by the beauty of these stars because he was too eager for them. Unfortunately, thieves were trying to steal his ‘beauties’.

"How can we tolerate this?! Gladean Ruins, attack!" Even though he was more of a spectator and Lin Xiaodao was the one that was actually fighting, Tianming couldn't help feeling nervous.

"We’re a little late. I won’t be able to control the battle if their astralships spread out. The only thing I can do is attack their ether-class astralships and defeat their leaders! As long as we destroy their ether-class astralships, it’ll still be a loss for them even if they manage to steal these nova sources!" Lin Xiaodao was rather serious once he made his move, but his expression drastically shifted and his face flashed with a greasy sheen when he spoke to the green gourd beside him. "Xiao Nu, Xiao Nu, help me.…”

Tianming couldn't help but cover his face.

"I see them!"

Lin Xiaodao’s words made Tianming even more nervous.

"It’s clear they didn't think we’d be alerted so soon. We can strike first and gain the upper hand!"

The Gladean Ruins had accumulated power over the past few minutes, and was much larger than the enemy’s invisible gear-shaped astralship. Power a hundred thousand times the Divine Moon Realm’s stellar source was concentrated on the astralship formation. Right as they passed the Myriadstar Zone and encountered the Star Hunter’s fleet, the Gladean Ruins launched an infinitum-class attack and the two dragon heads suddenly spewed out two terrifying balls of energy, one gold and the other black. The gold ball was majestic, while the black one was ferocious and domineering. The two spheres collided with the front of the enemy’s fleet, releasing a huge black and gold wave.
