Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7046

Chapter 6956: Buried Along!

In a moment of despair, on the verge of collapse,

within the old capital, the imperial city,

the tall, thick walls were adorned with reliefs depicting children laughing and playing, adults of the Divine Treasure Clan sparring with their companions, and elders watching with smiles.

These depictions recorded a glimpse into the once-happy life of the Divine Treasure Clan.

It was clear how comfortable and carefree their lives were when there was no war.

But now, an atmosphere of despair hung over every member of the Divine Treasure Clan, like a dark cloud that refused to dissipate…

In the very heart of the imperial city, there was a hall.

Inside, a round table held just enough for ten people.

At the head of the table sat a tall, imposing middle-aged man, clad in a black dragon imperial robe, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.

Every gesture he made exuded imperial majesty!

This was none other than the Emperor of the Wuxuan Clan!

Beside him sat a young woman in a black dress, at almost equal footing.

The swirls in her eyes revealed her to be a member of the Divine Treasure Clan, but unlike other Divine Treasure Clan members, her skin was strikingly fair.

The young woman had long, delicate eyebrows, slightly furrowed, and a slender figure, possessing a delicate beauty.

This young woman was the Holy Maiden of the Divine Treasury!

Below these two were eight powerful elders, both men and women, over a million years old, all possessing the strength of a Celestial Venerable.

These eight were all elders of the Divine Treasury Clan.

At this moment, these ten Celestial Venerable powerhouses were observing the battle situation outside the Old Capital through an image map.

In the image map, the Emperor of Illusion was seen leading a million Illusion God cultivators, manipulating a gray, sky-piercing giant sword composed of an Illusion God array, continuously attacking the Old Capital.

In addition, various races swarmed around the Dao array barrier like ants gnawing at prey, densely packed, a sight that was both unsettling and arousing.

Among the ten powerhouses, some had icy expressions, their eyes filled with killing intent; others were burning with rage, their chests heaving uncontrollably. The

chief, the Emperor of the Wu Xuan Clan, was deep in thought. He was the soul of the Little Divine Treasury Star System, and his decisions would determine the future of the Divine Treasury Clan in the Old Capital.

After observing the battle situation outside the old capital for a period of time through the imagery, the Wu Xuan Clan Emperor frowned and slowly closed his eyes.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes again and said in a low voice, “The battle line is now critical. Can we send a message to our compatriots supporting the Great Divine Treasury Star System and ask them to return to defend the old capital?”

He said hopefully, “If the Little Divine Treasury Star System were at its peak, we wouldn’t be afraid even if these despicable people formed an alliance…”

Upon hearing this, the Divine Treasury Saintess said with a helpless expression, “The pressure they face will only be greater. We must realize that there is no way to retreat on either side now.”

“If the Great Divine Treasury Star System is breached first, and the invaders on both battlefields attack together, the predicament we face will probably be countless times greater than it is now!”

The Wu Xuan Clan Emperor was clearly middle-aged, but now that he was forced into a dead end, the worry between his brows could not be dispelled, adding a touch of old age to his appearance.

He said unwillingly, “Is there really no chance?”

The Divine Treasure Saintess sighed deeply and said, “The only option right now is to mobilize the entire Divine Treasure Clan of the Lesser Divine Treasure Star System, sending all the people stationed throughout the star system to support the Old Capital.”

The Witch Xuan Clan Emperor rubbed his temples and said, “Of course I know that. The only ones who can help the Divine Treasure Clan are ourselves. It’s unrealistic to ask the Greater Divine Treasure Clan for more people now. All that’s left are the civilians…” “

But, although those civilians are actively serving as reserve troops, their overall strength is insufficient on a battlefield of this scale. If they are allowed to participate in the war, there will inevitably be huge casualties!”

The Divine Treasure Saintess was also heartbroken. She pursed her lips and said, “This is probably the only chance to preserve the Old Capital. If we lose the Old Capital, the entire star system will be gradually devoured, and the Divine Treasure Clan may very well become slaves!”

“…”

The Wu Xuan Clan Emperor remained silent for a long time before finally nodding heavily and saying, “Alright, I will immediately prepare a letter to all my compatriots, sending a message throughout the entire Little Divine Treasury Star System, declaring a decisive battle with the Thirteen Star System Alliance! Let these treacherous villains remain forever, using their Cosmic God bodies as nourishment for the birth of an even more prosperous Divine Treasury Clan!”

However, just as the Wu Xuan Clan Emperor was about to send out the message,

“Stop for now, calm down!”

A clear voice suddenly appeared, echoing within the hall, causing everyone to pause slightly, and the Wu Xuan Clan Emperor also stopped his actions.

Tap tap…

Footsteps came from the direction of the hall’s entrance, causing the ten Heavenly Venerables present, including the Clan Emperor and the Holy Maiden, to turn their heads.

Instantly, their pupils shrank, their faces filled with disbelief.

An elder exclaimed, “How did he manage to get in silently through the heavy array of Dao seals?”

At this moment, a white-haired boy with golden and black pupils and a harmless little girl with purple hair and purple eyes walked in.

This scene, in this context, appeared extremely bizarre.

Before anyone could ask questions, Li Tianming spoke directly, “I can save many lives of the Shenzang Clan; there’s no need to mobilize the entire star system’s civilians.”

He paused, then continued, “Moreover, I can help the Shenzang Clan defend the Old Capital Dao Array, greatly reducing your casualties.”

He finished speaking and confidently looked at the group of powerful figures, some astonished, some wary.

The Wuxuan Clan Emperor’s expression was solemn, his imperial aura pressing down on Li Tianming, its power causing even the elders present to tremble.

However, Li Tianming remained completely unmoved, his gaze burning as he stared directly at the Wuxuan Clan Emperor.

This scene shook everyone to their core, who thought inwardly, “This combination of a boy and a little girl can actually withstand the Emperor’s oppressive aura?”

Seeing this, the Wuxuan Clan Emperor’s expression grew even more grim.

Li Tianming spoke again, “I have no ill intentions; I have come to save the Shenzang Clan.”

The Wuxuan Clan Emperor frowned slightly and asked, “Who are you?”

“I am Li Tianming, from the Heavenly Emperor Sect, a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sect,” Li Tianming said calmly.

However, the moment he revealed his identity, the Wu Xuan Clan Emperor’s initial probing attitude suddenly turned into fury!

“Traitor to the Heavenly Emperor Sect!!!”

Li Tianming’s surname seemed to evoke some memories, and coupled with his identity as a member of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, the ten powerful members of the Shenzang Clan present had already sentenced him to death!

In an instant, the hatred seemed to solidify, and the Wu Xuan Clan Emperor instantly attacked!

The power of the Cosmic God he displayed was none other than that of a sixth-order Heavenly Venerable!

Compared to the others’ expressions twisted by hatred, the Shenzang Saintess was calmer, but she also joined the attack at this moment.

“Give me your life!”

“You traitor, you will pay with your life for my fellow citizens of the Divine Treasury Clan!”

Shouts rang out, and everyone present attacked.

The Wu Xuan Clan Emperor was the first to charge at Li Tianming, his jet-black fist seemingly shattering the void, producing a deafening roar.

Boom—!!

Countless clouds were stirred by this attack, transforming into a massive vortex that swirled around the fist.

Even at this moment, Li Tianming remained calm.

Beside him, Zi Zhen extended a slender, white hand, directly catching the Wu Xuan Clan Emperor’s earth-shattering fist!
