Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 6859

Chapter 6268: The Battle of Ten Thousand Emperors

Several months later.

Dark Star Maze.

“Without me, it’ll be impossible, won’t it?” Yin Chen chuckled in his companion space.

“Indeed, this Shadow is a million times more useless than you,” Li Tianming said helplessly.

“Why haven’t we encountered any other examinees along the way?” An Ning asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Perhaps it’s because there weren’t many people entering the Dark Star Maze in the same batch, maybe less than fifty? And most of them came for Little Li, so while they were looking for Little Li, they might have been using the Shadow Star Patrol to scout out the rendezvous route,” Sui Shenyao said.

Li Tianming exclaimed in shock, “Yaoyao, you shouldn’t have such intelligence!”

“You’re driving me crazy, Little Li, take this!” The earring that Sui Shenyao had transformed into suddenly clamped down hard.

Aurora chuckled, “Stop fooling around. The important thing now is to figure out how to find the Tower Core. Also, without other examiners to replenish our Imperial Puppet Legion, we’ll probably be trapped here once we’ve exhausted our Shadow Star Patrolmen.”

*Buzz*—At

this moment, Li Tianming’s Imperial Puppet Army Order vibrated again. He picked it up and saw several lines of text slowly appearing on it.

Li Muyun then transmitted a message, “Tianming, Li Tianyang’s men have gathered twenty-five of them. They have at least four hundred Shadow Star Patrolmen sweeping through the Dark Star Maze, stealing other examiners’ Imperial Puppets, gathering their own people, and constantly probing for your whereabouts.”

“There are just too many of them, and too many Imperial Puppets gathered. Maybe you should hide for a while; you can’t fight them head-on!” Li Muyun’s words were filled with worry.

Li Tianming looked up in one direction, not caring whether the other person could hear him or read his lip movements, and said, “I have nowhere to hide. Don’t worry, I can handle it.”

Li Muyun’s face was still clouded with worry, but there was nothing she could do. Li Tianming was right; there was indeed nowhere to hide.

It was only a matter of time before he was found.

Although Li Mulian wasn’t as worried as before after seeing that Li Tianming was currently safe and sound, she still frowned.

Li Tianming continued to command the Emperor Puppets forward. After exploring the route for so long, several Emperor Puppets had already been lost, not only the Shadow Star Patrolmen but also the Stardust Guards.

Swoosh!

Faintly, Li Tianming sensed something flying overhead.

Suddenly, the numbers on the Emperor Puppets’ command changed, with ten Emperor Puppets suddenly disappearing. Among them, only ten Shadow Star Patrolmen remained, and only sixty Stardust Guards remained!

Just now, some Emperor Puppets had been thrown away by the gravity trap.

“Is it a massive gravity trap?”

Li Tianming learned from the information relayed by the Imperial Puppet Army Order that this gravity trap was far larger than those he had encountered before.

“This is really troublesome. The Imperial Puppet Army hasn’t been replenished in time, and it will probably be completely exhausted eventually. Wouldn’t that leave

us trapped in a dead end and unable to pass the level?” Li Tianming wasn’t afraid of dying here; after all, it was a planet of life and death. However, being unable to pass the level was a real headache.

Just as Li Tianming was preparing to detour around the gravity trap, a sudden change occurred!

Rumble!

The remaining ten Shadow Star Patrolmen moved from the outer perimeter towards Li Tianming’s side, which was the center of the entire formation.

Enemy attack!

Li Tianming looked down and saw that the Imperial Puppet Army Order was already covered with dense red dots, two hundred in total.

The information indicated that it was Void Hunters!

At this moment, the enemy was almost forming an encirclement.

Li Tianming decisively issued the order, “All Imperial Puppets, form a triangular assault formation! Protect the Shadow Star Patrolmen with all your might! Break through the encirclement with me!”

Aurora, Sui Shenyao, and An Ning all appeared, their faces serious as they faced the battle.

Before the triangular assault formation, Li Tianming, along with Aurora and Sui Shenyao, directly attacked the Void Hunters.

Li Tianming was in the middle, his Eastern Emperor Sword split in two to gain a higher attack frequency.

Breaking through meant heading towards the explored ‘vision zone’; aimless wandering would lead to dangers like gravity traps, even if they weren’t hunted by the Void Hunters.

Li Tianming chose a direction, and the entire formation turned around. The booming sounds of the Imperial Puppets’ movements echoed in his ears.

Of course, these were only the sounds of the Imperial Puppets nearby; those further away were invisible and inaudible.

Li Tianming’s expression was grim, his Eastern Emperor Sword, wreathed in Xuanjin sword energy, continuously unleashing chaotic sword techniques.

Boom!

These Void Hunters weren’t actually a threat to Li Tianming, but his current focus was on protecting the Emperor Puppet and avoiding gravity traps during the battle.

The Void Hunters were immune to gravity traps; they were engraved with anti-gravity arrays!

“I never imagined that the Emperor Puppet, which was supposed to protect me during my trial, would now be the one I have to protect,” Li Tianming said helplessly. He

simply couldn’t get any reinforcements!

While dodging the gravity traps hidden in the escape route, he continuously plunged his twin swords into the bodies of the Void Hunters, sending the Xuanjin Sword Blade into their bodies, destroying and shredding them.

These Void Hunters were similar in size to the Stardust Guardians, both four meters tall, but their bodies were thinner and more agile, and they wielded short swords.

Li Tianming’s left hand wielded the Overlord Sword, slashing at a Void Hunter, the Xuanjin Sword Blade ravaging its body. With a kick, he shattered it. His right hand thrust the Kingly Sword, accidentally piercing its core.

Boom!!

With each strike of Li Tianming’s sword, the encirclement of the Void Hunters was gradually torn apart.

Sui Shen Jiguang and Sui Shen Yao, flanking Li Tianming, transformed into chaotic sword rings, relentlessly bombarding the Void Hunters in their path.

An Ning, at the rear of the group, blocked the pursuing Void Hunters, her spear sweeping across and felling many.

Boom!!

One Void Hunter after another crashed to pieces, a path carved out.

Inside the secret chamber, Li Muyun’s

eyes widened. “Tianming… he’s already this strong?” Li

Mulian, who had initially covered her eyes, unable to bear witnessing Li Tianming’s crushing defeat at the hands of the Void Hunters, only peeked through her fingers after hearing her mother’s words.

“Wow! Senior Brother Tianming is so amazing!” Li Mulian’s eyes sparkled.

Mo Huan was also stunned. “He dealt with the Void Hunters as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. With such combat power, he should be an eighth-level Star Ancestor, right? But when he participated in the first trial, he used all his strength to defeat the seventh-level Star Ancestor Lu Wu Clan genius with the help of others. At that time, he should only be a sixth-level Star Ancestor, right?”

“Such a breakthrough speed is truly astonishing. I estimate that he can participate in the Battle of Ten Thousand Emperors ahead of schedule at this age!” Mo Huan exclaimed.
