Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 6887

Chapter 6796: The Shield Breaker!

“Secondly, we will face the threat of the ‘city guards’ within the Corona Barrier. There are over ten thousand city guards within the fortress, and we will encounter their counterattacks during the siege.”

“I see.”

Having grasped most of the key points, Li Tianming stepped forward and received the Emperor Puppet for this level.

A Emperor Puppet military token quietly appeared in his hand.

*Buzz—*

Spatial ripples rippled before Li Tianming’s eyes, and hundreds of Emperor Puppets suddenly appeared.

Among them were familiar faces—the four hundred Stardust Guards.

These four hundred Stardust Guards all wielded long spears, each tall and imposing, their dark blue bodies shimmering with starlight from the forging materials.

Aurora explained, “Facing tens of thousands of city guards, the Stardust Guards are generally the main fighting force. In each round of the ‘Cosmic Fortress’ trial, a dozen or so examinees are grouped together, meaning there are several thousand Stardust Guards.” There were

also fifty Imperial Puppets, even larger than the Stardust Guards. Each had an earthen-yellow body and wielded a giant cannon a meter in diameter, its surface engraved with countless Dao patterns, capable of communicating with vast amounts of Dao clouds to unleash devastating attacks.

Aurora introduced, “These fifty are the Imperial Puppets ‘Shield Breakers.’ They wield meteorite cannons, which are highly effective against the defensive Dao array of the solar corona barrier. If enough of them attack, they can breach the solar prominence gate.” Li

Tianming nodded in understanding, his gaze then falling upon the fifty slender Imperial Puppets, white with gold thread patterns, which exuded a sense of holiness.

“This is the ‘Starry Sky Physician,’ extremely important in this challenge. They can repair other damaged puppets. Theoretically, we only have a few thousand Stardust Guards, putting us at a disadvantage compared to the city guards within the Corona Barrier. But if we utilize the Starry Sky Physician well, it’s our chance to win with fewer troops!” Having sorted out

the rules and intelligence, Li Tianming understood. “This level has five hundred Emperor Puppets, divided into three types, each with its own function, working together to finally pass this third level.”

Before Li Tianming, a group of people had already gathered not far away. This was the special feature of this level; everyone was no longer wandering aimlessly, but rather appearing in one place from the start.

This was because they needed to work together to break through the Prominence Gate.

Li Tianming led his army of five hundred Emperor Puppets towards the group’s location.

These people had been chatting and laughing, waiting for the last person.

What seemed strange within the fighting within the Young Emperor Tower appeared quite normal in this level.

This is because before breaching the Gate of Prominences, everyone was teammates; after breaching it, they became opponents—a normal progression, of course.

However, the leisurely chattering crowd froze for a moment upon seeing the newcomer’s white hair.

Yet, someone still spoke calmly to Li Tianming, “Junior Brother Li, you are the last examinee. Including you, we now have fifteen examinees, all present.”

Li Tianming raised an eyebrow and asked, “You know me?”

The speaker was a square-faced, serious-looking male disciple, who appeared quite old.

He replied meticulously, “Of course I know you. Anyone who has remained in the Heavenly Emperor Sect for the past few hundred years knows you.” ” You

flatter me,” Li Tianming replied casually.

The square-faced disciple asked, “You should know that the siege phase of this trial requires our teamwork, right?”

“Of course I know,” Li Tianming replied calmly.

Only the two of them spoke; the others were eerily silent.

An Ning couldn’t help but complain, “Something seems a little off…” It was

n’t until the square-faced disciple spoke up, “With a strong teammate like Junior Brother Li, wouldn’t the difficulty of breaking through the Solar Prominence Gate be greatly reduced? Why don’t we all welcome Junior Brother Li?”

The crowd exchanged glances, then a few intermittent voices rang out.

“Welcome Junior Brother Li! With Junior Brother Li, we’ll definitely be able to break through the Solar Prominence Gate smoothly!”

“Welcome Junior Brother Li!”

“With Junior Brother Li and Senior Brother Wu here, we feel at ease and have nothing to worry about.”

This square-faced disciple, named Wu Tieshi, was relatively strong among the dozen or so people, hence his authority.

“Shall we begin the challenge siege?” Li Tianming asked directly.

He didn’t care about the slightly strange atmosphere; he just wanted to break through the Solar Corona Barrier as quickly as possible and then find the Tower Core.

“Of course, Junior Brother Li, please—” Wu Tieshi gestured.

The group issued commands to their Imperial Puppets.

Boom!

Boom!

Currently, all 7,500 Imperial Puppets have mobilized, following behind the fifteen people, including Li Tianming. They are

still some distance from the Gate of Solar Prominences, and the group is proceeding at a leisurely pace.

“I say, when we cooperate in the attack, the Starry Sky Healers shouldn’t be so focused on repairing their own Imperial Puppets. They should look after each other; whoever’s Starry Sky Healer is closest to the Stardust Guards should go and repair them.”

“Of course! The final competition will be decided after we’ve breached the Gate of Solar Prominences. As long as we’re outside the Gate of Solar Prominences, we’re one.”

Among the dozen or so people, everyone is discussing tactics. Li Tianming and Wu Tieshi haven’t spoken much, but they’ve listened attentively.

It seems everyone is quite open-minded; if they fight amongst themselves beforehand, their internal strength might be depleted, making it impossible to break through the Gate of Solar Prominences.

Just as everything was proceeding as expected, and the atmosphere among the dozen or so disciples was peaceful,

BOOM—!!

Suddenly, an explosive killing move erupted from Li Tianming’s side; a giant halberd thrust fiercely towards Li Tianming’s side.

An Ning appeared instantly, deflecting the attack with her Nine-Section Taiyi Pagoda Spear.

The attack came from Wu Tieshi!

Seeing his attack fail, Wu Tieshi immediately shouted, “What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and attack! Letting Li Tianming enter the Corona Barrier is just making us work for nothing!”

The crowd reacted with surprise, confusion, and expectation to Wu Tieshi’s sudden move.

But quickly, they all regained their composure and their eyes hardened.

“We can’t let Li Tianming participate in the infighting inside the city gates. If we’re going to fight, we should defeat him before the siege!” This was everyone’s thought.

Li Tianming’s eyes narrowed, but he didn’t say anything; the outcome was the same anyway!

“They actually launched a sneak attack and backstabbed us! How despicable! I’ll teach them a lesson myself!” Sui Shenyao roared.

An Ning, Jiguang, and Sui Shenyao, three stunningly beautiful women, surrounded Li Tianming.

An Ning stood directly in front of Li Tianming, wielding a long spear. Her entire body was pure white and translucent, clad in dragon-scale armor that accentuated her fiery physique, making her appear like a Valkyrie, possessing unparalleled divine might.

Aurora and Sui Shenyao both had pink hair; one possessed golden eyes, radiating imperial power, while the other had black eyes, exuding domineering aura.

The power emanating from them left the fourteen examinees stunned.

“Didn’t they say he participated in the Young Emperor Trial last time, annihilating dozens of examinees and expending considerable effort? I feel like these few star puppets of his can already sweep aside most people under ten thousand years old.”
