Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7005

Chapter 6915: All Old Rivals!

Meanwhile, Huan Sheng Huan Mie, along with Yu Zhao and Jiang Beichen, were also in the Myriad Emperors Palace.

They were only on the same level as Li Tianming in age; in terms of strength and talent, they were no match for him.

Most others might feel inferior upon seeing Li Tianming again and wouldn’t even consider speaking to him.

But among these individuals, Huan Sheng Huan Mie was a junior to Li Tianming’s two masters, Yu Zhao was single-minded and still thinking of repaying a debt of gratitude, and Jiang Beichen was a battle maniac who now only felt respect for Li Tianming as a strong person and no longer considered him a rival.

Tai Su and Hong Yan led Li Tianming into the Myriad Emperors Palace. Several powerful figures around them praised Tai Su and Hong Yan’s excellent teaching, having produced such outstanding disciples.

In some dark corners, however, some people coldly discussed Li Tianming and his two masters.

“You two idiots! You’re supposed to be guardians of the imperial clan, yet you don’t even understand this basic principle.”

“Having some talent is certainly a good thing, but such ostentation has led to comparisons between Li Tianming and the Li imperial clan.”

“While the Li imperial clan’s talent is unparalleled, reputation is equally important to them. And now, an outer sect disciple dares to challenge their authority?”

Li Tianming, with Yin Chen’s help, naturally knew these words, but he didn’t care.

He needed to grow quickly, both to be with Xiao Jiu and to protect his family.

Although Ling’er was currently his safety net, he couldn’t rely on her forever.

Therefore, the young man still needed to work hard!

After entering the Myriad Emperors Palace with Li Tianming, Tai Su said, “Your master’s wife doesn’t like noise. This should be a place for you young people. We’ll watch your battle from the private room; the image quality there is much clearer.”

“Disciple, defeat all those arrogant geniuses!” Hongyan smiled.

“Alright!” Li Tianming replied simply.

After bidding farewell to Li Tianming, Tai Su and Hong Yan went to a luxurious private room on the high platform.

Li Tianming went directly to the Golden Circle to prepare for the battle.

Yu Zhao and several other acquaintances were there, greeting Li Tianming.

At this moment, a flash of golden light appeared in the Golden Circle not far away, revealing a familiar figure.

“Junior Brother Li?” a surprised voice rang out.

It was a member of the Wuxiang Jade Clan dressed in pure white, like jade.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, Li Tianming couldn’t really distinguish the identities of different Wuxiang Jade Clan members by appearance.

However, since the other party took the initiative to speak, Li Tianming recognized her from her voice as Yu Shang, whom he had met once before.

“Senior Sister Yu Shang, what a coincidence, you’re here too,” Li Tianming replied.

Yu Shang sighed, “There’s nothing I can do. People like me, who can only hover around the bottom of the top 100 on the Emperor Ranking, are easily squeezed out. So I can only work harder to get back into the top 100.”

She said with a hint of disappointment, “I can’t compare to a genius like you. The top 100 is probably within your grasp.”

Li Tianming smiled and said, “Senior Sister Yu is joking. I was only one place higher than you before.”

If it weren’t for the fact that the Wuxiang Jade Clan has a naturally jade body without facial features, Yu Shang would have rolled her eyes.

She said with a hint of annoyance, “Please, you’re only under ten thousand years old, and you already have this kind of strength. I also heard that you defeated Wei Wuming, who was ranked fifty-fifth, and took one-tenth of his Emperor Points.”

“Just from this one battle, you can see that you are much stronger than me.” At this point, her tone became a little disappointed again.

Li Tianming smiled slightly and said, “True strongmen challenge stronger ones. Senior Sister Yu’s mentality also has the qualities of a strong person. On the road to pursuing strength, there will always be someone stronger than us, but this also means that our steps will never stop, and we will always be on the road to becoming stronger.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Shang was shocked and said, “It seems that geniuses not only have outstanding talent, but also extraordinary insights.”

She clasped her hands and said, “I have learned a lot, Junior Brother Li.”

“You’re welcome.” Li Tianming waved his hand.

Yu Shang had just finished a battle, so she stepped down from the stage to rest.

Li Tianming walked into the golden circle, preparing to enter the Emperor’s Battle Stage.

He injected the power of the God of the Universe into the battle token, and a golden light flashed, sending him to the Emperor’s Battle Stage.

At this moment, almost simultaneously, golden light flashed before his eyes. Unexpectedly, he encountered an old acquaintance?

After the golden light dissipated before Li Tianming, a radiant girl appeared.

Her nine-colored waist-length hair shone brightly, her appearance was exquisite and beautiful, and there were tiny colored gemstones at the corners of her eyebrows, making her as noble as a goddess from the heavens.

Upon seeing their opponent, the two reacted differently. Li Tianming was first surprised.

Jiu Yuan, upon seeing Li Tianming, was initially stunned, recalling her defeat at his hands.

Then, she regained her haughty and aloof demeanor.

At this moment, the crowd below the Emperor’s Battle Stage was also somewhat surprised to see the two paired together.

“Li Tianming is now considered the number one genius of the outer sects. Can Jiu Yuan still defeat him?”

The outer sects refer to all disciples outside the Li imperial clan.

“I’ve heard that Jiu Yuan has recently made a breakthrough, aiming for the top 100 of the Ten Thousand Emperors Ranking. Her momentum is strong; her Emperor Points have been soaring lately. Could it be that she can truly end Li Tianming’s myth?”

On the Emperor’s Battle Stage,

Jiu Yuan’s beautiful face was as cold as frost as she stared intently at Li Tianming.

This time, she didn’t hold back, directly summoning all her star realms, which transformed into nine divine weapons, including the ‘Wind Netherworld Sword,’ the ‘Abyss Realm Chain,’ and the ‘Flame Prison Realm Flag’!

After the nine Star Realm Divine Weapons appeared, they immediately merged, transforming into a Nine-Colored Star Realm Divine Axe!

Seeing his opponent immediately enter battle mode, Li Tianming also prepared to fight.

Without further ado,

he directly entered the Primordial Chaos War God state, formed by his companion beast fusion.

“Scrap War God, attack! Little Li, kill this cold-faced woman!”

Yinghuo suddenly shouted.

Li Tianming was just about to attack when Yinghuo’s shout almost made him stumble.

“You’re the scruffy one, your whole family is scruffy.”

“My whole family is your whole family, isn’t it?”

“Stop arguing, meow, she’s about to attack, meow.” Meow Meow lazily advised, but it didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all.

Meanwhile, Li Tianming, who was bickering with Yinghuo, appeared to Jiu Yuan and the others as if he were in a daze.

“Strange, why isn’t Li Tianming moving? Does he not want to fight anymore? Could it be that he wants to deliberately lose to Jiu Yuan?”

“No way, he was so arrogant before, he doesn’t seem like the type to fear power.”

“Maybe his opponent wasn’t high enough in status. After all, Jiu Yuan is betrothed to the Li Imperial Clan. If it were the Li Imperial Clan, they might still give him face.”

In a luxurious private room, Hongyan said in confusion, “What is this kid doing? She’s just a bride-to-be from the Li Imperial Clan. Even if Tianming defeated her before, it was just a battle. We’re not afraid of that.”

Taisu said meaningfully, “Have you ever seen him suffer any grievances at the Heavenly Emperor Sect? With his personality, how could he consider such complicated matters? Let’s wait and see, this kid might be plotting something.”

At this moment, on the Emperor’s Battle Stage, Jiu Yuan held the Nine-Colored Star Realm Divine Axe in both hands and cleaved down at Li Tianming with the force of splitting a mountain!

She was also puzzled by Li Tianming’s actions, but she had already tasted defeat and didn’t want to lose again!

She shouted in her heart, “I won’t hold back!”

Nine Realms Open Heaven!

This time, aiming to break into the top 100 of the Emperor Ranking, she not only advanced a realm but also mastered an even more powerful battle technique.

The Nine-Colored Star Realm Divine Axe, half her body size, shimmered with nine colors and contained nine different powers.

An axe descended from the sky, striking towards Li Tianming. The axe’s blade seemed to be wrapped in nine-colored ribbons of star realm power, greatly amplifying its power.

Boom—!!

The strike was incredibly powerful.

However, just as her nine-colored divine axe was about to strike Li Tianming’s head, the earth-shattering force abruptly stopped.

Jiu Yuan, holding the Nine-Colored Star Realm Divine Axe, hovered in mid-air, unable to advance an inch!

This scene shocked everyone.

Two fingers gripped the axe blade beneath the massive axe!

A flash of confusion, shock, and terror crossed Jiu Yuan’s eyes.

Her pupils widened, and her red lips involuntarily parted.

Realizing what was happening, she tried to pull out the giant axe, but even gritting her teeth wouldn’t work.

Li Tianming raised an eyebrow and yanked the Nine-Colored Star

Realm Divine Axe back sharply. Jiu Yuan’s hands, still gripping the axe tightly, were pulled back by Li Tianming’s action, causing her to stumble and fall towards him.

Li Tianming held the axe between his left index and middle fingers, and slapped her with his right hand.

*Poof!*

“Ah!!! Li Tianming!!”

Half of Jiu Yuan’s body exploded!

The excruciating pain of half her God of the Universe’s body exploding was unbearable, causing her to scream.

But there was nothing she could do; this was the battlefield, and it was that cruel!

Seeing this, the Myriad Emperors Palace erupted in commotion!

“Nine Flowers is like a child in front of Li Tianming now, completely powerless!”

“Last time they fought, Li Tianming used almost all his tricks, how come he’s so relaxed now?”

“As expected of the number one genius of the outer sect, his reputation is well-deserved, his talent is truly outstanding!”

Under the absolute suppression of strength, Nine Flowers could no longer do anything to Li Tianming.

Li Tianming released the Nine-Colored Star Realm Divine Axe, and Nine Flowers’ face contorted in pain as she silently put the Star Realm Divine Axe away.

She was stubborn; she was the pride of the first guardian imperial clan, and she was destined to marry into the Li imperial clan!

Nine Flowers didn’t admit defeat verbally, but by putting away the Star Realm Divine Weapon, she showed her attitude of surrender!

Li Tianming had no interest in destroying the heart of the pride of the heavens; to him, this was just an ordinary battle of ten thousand emperors.

So he didn’t dwell on how she lost; he simply withdrew from the battlefield of ten thousand emperors, claiming victory in this battle.

Jiu Yuan’s expression was cold and stern. She had broken through a realm and originally wanted to show off her skills, attempting to break into the top 100 of the Myriad Emperors Ranking. However, she had now become Li Tianming’s background, and she was definitely resentful!

After Li Tianming, she also stepped down from the Emperor’s Battle Stage and silently used the Origin Spirit Spring to recover her body.

In the private room on the high platform, Hong Yan sighed and said, “I actually thought this kid wouldn’t dare to offend anyone. His fighting style clearly shows that he won’t stop until he offends someone to death!”

Tai Su said helplessly, “It can’t be said that way. From what I know of him, he never deliberately offends anyone. At most, it’s just… saving time.”

Then, he added, “There’s no need to waste time on the weak.”

A battle requires a month to refresh.

During this process, Li Tianming spent most of his time adjusting his condition and a small amount of time talking with the familiar geniuses of the Guardian Emperor Clan.

A month passed quickly, and Li Tianming went up on the stage again.

This time, the golden light before Li Tianming’s eyes dissipated, and he encountered an old acquaintance again!

The figure with long brown hair was none other than Wei Wuming!

In everyone’s eyes, Jiu Yuan had already fallen behind Li Tianming, so losing was acceptable. What was surprising was that the two, who had competed against each other before, now had such a large gap in skill.

But Wei Wuming was different!

In his previous battle with Li Tianming, both had used all their skills, and the outcome was evenly matched.

If Wei Wuming hadn’t summoned his Dao Plants in two separate sessions and had instead launched a full-scale attack on Li Tianming with his strongest Dao Plants and himself, the result might have been uncertain.

Therefore, their reunion was somewhat anticipated.

Upon seeing that his opponent was Li Tianming, Wei Wuming remained expressionless.

He could no longer maintain his previous facade of politeness; to him, Li Tianming was utterly detestable!

Li Tianming was surprised to encounter his old rival again

and again. In fact, this was normal, because as his strength and ranking increased, the number of opponents who could fight him would decrease.

Therefore, it was common for him to fight against some of the top-ranking powerhouses.

Wei Wuming’s attitude towards Li Tianming had grown increasingly cold after losing one-tenth of his Emperor Points in the previous defeat.

Although he had replenished his Dao Plants over the past century, a process that had consumed considerable time and resources,

he knew that Li Tianming’s demon army could be summoned and replenished almost indefinitely after each defeat—at least he hadn’t seen its limit yet.

Therefore, for Li Tianming, the number of demons lost seemed insignificant; he didn’t appear to feel any pain from them.

But for Wei Wuming, those were all Dao Plants he had painstakingly tamed!

He didn’t want to waste time fighting Li Tianming.

So Wei Wuming coldly said, “Junior Brother Li, how about we fight one-on-one today, without using the Dao Plant Legion and the Evil Ghost Legion?”

“No problem, Senior Brother, fight however you want.” Li Tianming agreed without hesitation.

After the two agreed, Wei Wuming took out the Yuanxu Ruler again, an extremely wide weapon Dao treasure that looked like half a door panel.

Deep blue star marks flowed on the deep blue Yuanxu Ruler, left by the top-grade Dao plants used to forge it.

Holding the Yuanxu Ruler, Wei Wuming directly used his strongest move.

Sky-Splitting Mystic Ruler!

A colossal shadow suddenly appeared.

A figure with Wei Wuming’s silhouette swung the towering ruler at Li Tianming.

The momentum was immense!

Facing Wei Wuming, Li Tianming showed a slightly more attitude than Jiu Yuan, but only slightly.

He took out the Donghuang Sword wrapped with Xuanjin Sword Blade, and the chaotic sword ring formed by Aurora and Suishen Yao rapidly circled around it.

Li Tianming glanced up; to everyone else, he appeared tiny.

But then he unleashed a single sword strike.

Annihilation!

He didn’t summon the Primordial Chaos Realm Sword, nor did he unleash the Primordial Chaos Pulse Field.

A seemingly simple sword strike instantly sliced the giant shadow created by the Sky-Splitting Ruler in two, as easily as cutting tofu.

Even Wei Wuming’s humanoid phantom vanished abruptly.
