Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3026 - What Are You So Smug For

Tianming used Delayed Capture and Unistrike Singularity as a staple move while fighting in crowds. The nature of the spacetsword arts was that they were incredibly fast and accurate, thanks to taking advantage of the innate quality of space and time.

He was fast to the point of ridiculousness as he zipped around like a storm. The geniuses around him couldn't even get a clear view of where he was! He was in his strongest combat form to date. The unconventional and accidental fusion of lifebound beast and beastmaster was weird, but he couldn't deny the shocking results.

"Apart from my soul, everything aboutis perfect!" If Sixth could also protect his soul and give him an arsenal of soul attacks to use, he would be completely invincible. He seemed to be in a kind of manic state that pushed everything to the extreme.

The black Grand-Orient Sword carried five totems and several cosmic impulses. When it was used to execute Delayed Capture, the deceptively slow sword shot toward a beastmaster in an instant. The beastmaster had six cosmic charts that shone brightly to resist the attack. His lifebound beasts had around two million stars, twice as many as Xiaodao's. Coupled with their powerful bloodlines, normal eighth-level cosmic cartographers wouldn't be his match at all.

However, Tianming's explosive speed tore through all the abilities of the beasts. The gigantic lifebound beasts weren't nearly as agile as he was, allowing him to shoot straight past them toward their beastmaster. When the strike connected, tbegan to stretch and bend. Then cthe heavier golden Grand-Orient Sword!

The beastmaster widened his eyes at the shocking sight of the white-haired youth. Instantly, both those strikes heavily wounded him and tore through his chest and astral organs. The cosmic charts behind him even began fracturing, causing the gold myriadpath ring to mark him as defeated. He had around twenty thousand points, so Tianming got seven thousand of them, allowing him to shoot above Chu Tianyu and Qiu Ciling in the ranking and reach second place.

"What?!" The sight cas quite a shock to all the other participants, inner or outer. Quite a few people couldn't help but be impressed and began cheering. The outer valley geniuses had also rapidly risen in their own mundi, so they were all too familiar with this kind of thing. They had never imagined that they would be on the sidelines this taround and being part of the peanut gallery for someone else! Many of them resonated with Tianming and placed their hopes in him.

"Li Tianming!" They passionately cheered his name, proud as they were for being at the top of their own mundi. They truly wished to change their lives by following him. Tianming didn't let their hopes down, either, and continued zipping through the crowd to attack other opponents.

He used his speed and agility to expertly maneuver out of dangerous situations while picking at the inner valley geniuses one after another, defeating them along the way! What the outer valley geniuses didn't see was him using his grand lexicon wonder for crowd control. It afforded far better crowd control capabilities than Xian Xian's abilities, which was why he was able to prevent them all from ganging up on him.

"Hehehe.... Are the geniuses that've been raised in Myriadpath Valley since birth only capable of this much?" Tianming's smirk and callous remark drew the ire of the budding inner valley geniuses.

"Impudence!"

"Looks like your foolish bravado is making you run your mouth."

"What’re you so smug for? We aren’t the very best in Myriadpath Valley. Don't think you're hot shit just because you can push us back."

"Your age is double ours! When we're five hundred, we'll have at least ten cosmic charts! Killing you would be all too easy!"

"Yeah! Stop being so smug!"

"You think you can be so arrogant because you're lucky? Brothers and sisters, let him taste pain!"

Even though they didn't really want to fight in the beginning, Tianming's provocation caused them to be unable to put down their pride. One after another, they swarmed toward him in the nof reclaiming the dignity of Myriadpath Valley. "Die!"

Tianming was only worried that they would run. Yin Chen was keeping him informed about the battlefield situation where Huang Daoxiong and the other two top geniuses were fighting each other and the nightmare rabbit. As they were distracted by Tianming's antics, it didn't seem like the nightmare rabbit was in any true danger of being killed, so Tianming had tto show off!

If nobody's able to kill the nightmare rabbit, I'll still have tens of thousands of points more than Huang Daoxiong once I take all these guys down! Tianming's body burst with power as he used Primordial Breathing to suck in midsky essence. Then he kicked a specter's fist with his right leg. The specter was glad to see a fool engaging his fist with their bare limb, only for half of his body to be shattered as he was sent flying hundreds of thousands of meters away!

"How can a beastmaster like him possibly be so physically powerful?!"

"He also has divine wonders!"

"His swords have totem ki!"

"Are his lifebound beasts stuck on his body or something?"

"Hell! What kind of absolute taint is this?!"

They were truly disgusted with shock, yet all of them could only muster one sentiment in the face of losing so badly: "If we were the sage as you, even one of us would easily be able to crush you!"

Only outer valley disciples over four hundred and eighty years old joined the trial of Skyward Grandpath, without exception; they wouldn't stand a chance there otherwise. The initial ten thousand participants had been whittled down and only a small number were left. As such, while they couldn't defeat Tianming, they weren't too worried since their rank was secure.

Tianming could only smirk at the feeble attempt at excusing their defeat. After all, he wasn't twice their age; they were more than twice his! Not that it would matter if he said it, anyway.

Using his spacetsword arts, abilities, and bare physical strikes, he was able to fight with abandon. Nobody could stop him, especially not with his fortuna-class Grand-Orient Sword being stronger than their weapons. His huge arsenal of techniques on top of pure power was also a massive advantage over his peers. His control, agility, explosiveness, speed, piercing instincts, and ability to harvest his opponents mirrored the perfect hexagon of qualities a true war god should have.
