Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 6839

Chapter 6748: Liu Qingyuan

As the Burning Spirit Guardian Array neared its limit, searching for the Phantom Meteorite, unexpectedly, Star Fiend arrived even earlier than the Phantom Meteorite!

This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury!

“Run!” Li Tianming shouted at the ‘Imperial Puppet Army Order’.

At Li Tianming’s command, the Burning Spirit Guardian Array quickly moved away from Star Fiend, but its movement speed was rather ‘comical’ compared to Star Fiend.

“Please, please, don’t see us, don’t see us…” Sui Shenyao prayed.

However, what they feared most came to pass.

The black viscous liquid, which was Star Fiend, suddenly raised part of its ‘body’ and twitched a few times, as if it had discovered something.

Then, it rushed straight towards Li Tianming and the others.

*Slap!

* It stuck to a Burning Spirit Guardian like a disgusting spit.

“Damn it.” Li Tianming felt a great sense of foreboding.

The Star Fiend stuck to the surface of the Burning Spirit Guardian Array, greedily seeping into the core of one of the Burning Spirit Guardians’ chests.

However, this was a continuous process, not an instantaneous destruction.

However, the core was destroyed the instant it was penetrated, and the power of the Dao array flickered erratically.

“I can’t let it devour unchecked!” In an instant, Li Tianming made his decision.

He wielded the Eastern Emperor Heavy Sword, its Xuanjin blade flashing, and pierced the core of the Burning Spirit Guardian’s chest, a violent aura engulfing the guard.

Boom!

The Burning Spirit Guardian and the Star Fiend exploded simultaneously, seemingly destroyed together.

The Burning Spirit Guardian was destroyed, but the Star Fiendian, after being shattered into even more puddles of slime, miraculously reformed into its original form. Though it was a puddle of slime, when it raised half its ‘body,’ it exuded a mocking aura! It

was useless!

While Li Tianming was about to make other attempts, the Star Fiendian was cunning; it didn’t enter the circular array to give Li Tianming a chance to use other methods, after all, its target was only the core energy of the Burning Spirit Guardian!

It climbed onto another Burning Spirit Guardian!

Of course, Li Tianming immediately arranged for another Burning Spirit Guardian to fill the gap.

Now, only one spare Burning Spirit Guardian remained!

“Abandon one Burning Spirit Guard and let him eat! He needs time to digest. As long as we find the Void Meteorite, he can’t get in, and we’ll be safe!” Aurora offered a plan based on the intelligence she had gathered.

“Go!” Li Tianming roared, decisively giving the order to have this Burning Spirit Guard leave the formation, and then have the last Burning Spirit Guard fill the gap.

Now, the circular formation of twenty-four Burning Spirit Guards had no spares!

Only three Burning Spirit Guards at their limits were still hoping to find the Void Meteorite!

The Star Fiend was contentedly enjoying its meal and didn’t continue to pursue.

But was Li Tianming’s crisis over?

No!

Boom!

Without replacement Burning Spirit Guards, Li Tianming could only watch helplessly as the Burning Spirit Guards exceeded their limits one by one, disintegrating and self-destructing from their cores!

After no new Burning Spirit Guards were available to fill the gap, Li Tianming had no choice but to shrink the size of the circular formation.

Although initially only ten Burning Spirit Guards were needed to form a circular formation, that wouldn’t be enough to accommodate the remaining twenty.

So it wasn’t that Li Tianming wanted to use a twenty-four-guard circular formation; it was a last resort.

One after another, the Burning Spirit Guardians exceeded their limits, and in the blink of an eye, only twenty-three intact Burning Spirit Guardians remained.

Finally! A

glimmer of hope appeared!

A massive boulder, eight thousand meters in diameter within the Guanzizai Realm, came into Li Tianming’s sight.

This boulder was deep blue, standing out starkly in this place filled with the red cosmic rays of the Burning Spirit.

Ripples occasionally flashed across the surface of the boulder, as if attracting the attention of the seeker amidst the torrent of cosmic rays.

“This is the Void Meteorite!” Suishen Aurora exclaimed excitedly in Li Tianming’s ear.

“Quick, move closer to that blue boulder,” Li Tianming said to the ‘Emperor Puppet Army Order’ in his hand.

Finally, just before the next Burning Spirit Guardian collapsed, the Burning Spirit Guardian Array touched the ripples on the surface of the blue boulder.

Buzz!

The entire Burning Spirit Guardian Array was absorbed into it, including Li Tianming within.

The Void Meteorite was a hollow object, its interior not pitch black, but rather emitting a faint blue light from its hollow inner walls.

“So many people!”

Li Tianming scanned the area and found that other examinees were already resting inside, a dozen or so in total, each accompanied by varying numbers of Burning Spirit Guards.

Each of them exuded a powerful aura; any two of them were likely no weaker than Mu Shang or Lu Qian.

The number of Burning Spirit Guards they carried varied, with some having as few as ten, indicating that even if they restored their Burning Spirit Guards to their initial state, they would find it difficult to progress further. They

had no replacements!

Therefore, these individuals looked at the others with a subtle gaze, especially at Li Tianming, who currently possessed the most Burning Spirit Guards.

Those who still had enough Burning Spirit Guards were no pushovers!

They were staring at the two nearly dead Cosmic God Essences hanging on Li Tianming.

After all, besides surviving in the cosmic torrent, passing the trial required five Cosmic God Essences!

The others present possessed Cosmic God Essences, some with one, some with two.

Once a hunter successfully kills someone, not only will the opponent’s Cosmic God Essence belong to him, but the opponent’s own Cosmic God Essence will also belong to him—the reward is immense!

However, no one takes the initiative, unwilling to be the one to profit from the conflict.

There are lone wolves like Li Tianming, and a few others banding together, but how genuine their alliances are is unknown.

The atmosphere is tense for now; few speak, everyone waiting in their respective corners for the Burning Spirit Guard to recover.

At this moment,

a graceful woman with delicate eyebrows swayed her hips and walked slowly towards Li Tianming.

She carried two Cosmic God Essences at her waist. As she approached Li Tianming, her gaze swept over his face, hair, and figure, but she ignored the two Cosmic God Essences at his waist.

“Junior brother, my name is Liu Qingyuan, from Fuliu Palace. May I ask your name?” the woman said with a smile, appearing quite amiable.

Although Li Tianming didn’t want to cause any trouble, he couldn’t refuse someone who was smiling, so he politely replied, “Senior Sister Liu, my name is Li Tianming, and I come from Muyun Palace.”

When Liu Qingyuan heard Li Tianming introduce himself, a strange, subtle look flashed in her eyes.

Judging from her aura, this Senior Sister Liu was quite powerful, possessing the strength of a seventh-tier Star Ancestor. Currently, without relying on the abilities of the Stealing Heaven Clan, Li Tianming had a chance of defeating her.

Liu Qingyuan’s red lips parted slightly as she said, “I observe that you are young, yet your aura is quite profound. However, it’s a bit strange; although your aura is profound, I cannot discern your specific realm. May I ask if you could enlighten me?”

“I am currently at the sixth-tier Star Ancestor, the Primordial God of the Universe realm. Senior Sister Liu’s strength is indeed more formidable,” Li Tianming said humbly, subtly praising her.
