Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7162

Chapter 7073: Raging Fury

Though he appeared calm, his eyes were actually bloodshot with rage!

His anger had been building for a very long time.

The young emperor stared intently at the image: Jiang Feiling’s avatars, resembling ten female gods with their divine wings spread wide, and Zi Zhen, now a little girl with purple hair and eyes.

These eleven figures were not only terrifyingly powerful, but also possessed an air of calm composure.

Even with the imminent eruption of ‘Emperor’s Annihilation,’ they showed no panic—a composure born of experience.

The young emperor then looked back at Jiu Yuan, who was trembling and crying beside him, clinging to his leg, and felt a surge of anger.

Although she was pretty and had a good figure, she paled in comparison to Jiang Feiling’s avatars.

Most importantly, it was their demeanor; the broken Jiu Yuan only made the young emperor feel nauseous.

“Go cry somewhere else!” the young emperor said impatiently.

At the same time, he kicked Jiu Yuan, sending her flying like a cannonball.

*Bang!*

“Ugh!”

The dazed Jiu Yuan didn’t react in time and crashed heavily into the array barrier, crying out in pain and spilling some star blood.

She was in a terrible state, but the young emperor ignored her. He looked at the image again, gritting his teeth, “How did you, a mixed-blood, manage to do that? Are there really such idiotic female powerhouses in the world?”

Consumed by jealousy, he refused to believe that Li Tianming’s relationship with Jiang Feiling’s avatar and Zi Zhen was normal.

Intense jealousy twisted the young emperor’s expression, which ultimately transformed into boundless hatred for Li Tianming!

His eyes burned with raging fire!

As a member of the Li imperial clan, the young emperor prided himself on his noble status and bloodline, enjoying the most abundant cultivation resources, and even his women were the most exquisite in the world!

Before the appearance of Jiang Feiling’s avatars, Jiu Yuan was indeed the most talented, had the strongest bloodline, and was the most beautiful woman outside of the Li Imperial Clan.

Unfortunately, now, due to the appearance of Jiang Feiling’s ten avatars and Zi Zhen, Jiu Yuan didn’t even rank eleventh in the young emperor’s eyes.

However, at this moment, the young emperor discovered that Li Tianming, whom he considered lowly, possessed eleven peerless beauties—how could he possibly accept this!

This extreme jealousy resulted in hatred!

Of course, he hated not only the excellence of Li Tianming’s women, but also the fact that so many powerful figures under his command—three thousand Heavenly Venerables and thirty guest elders—had been slaughtered!

This was a devastating blow to the foundation of his Emperor’s Army; the upper limit of a force sometimes depends on its strongest members.

But now, everything was ruined!

In reality, this was due to his own decisions; if he hadn’t relentlessly targeted Li Tianming, none of this would have happened.

But he poured all his resentment and hatred into Li Tianming!

At this moment, the young emperor, due to his own stubbornness, had completely ruined his reputation and prestige, destroying the image of an emperor he had cultivated. Even many within the Heavenly Emperor Sect dared to criticize him.

This would have been absolutely impossible in the past!

He gripped the activation switch of the ‘Emperor’s Annihilation’ tightly, his face gradually contorting into a grimace.

“Now that things have come to this, my report to the clan is a complete mess, even affecting the world’s impression of the Li imperial clan. From now on, I’m afraid there will be no possibility of advancement. All of this is your fault, Li Tianming!” the young emperor said in a low voice.

Before this, Jiuding had just helped Jiuyuan up and comforted her slightly.

After all, she was his own niece, and he felt a pang of sorrow at being treated this way by the young emperor.

However, Jiuding couldn’t hold a grudge against the young emperor for this, as he ultimately held a position of power and status!

Jiuyuan had neither disobeyed the young emperor’s orders nor caused any trouble for her own sake; she had simply become the young emperor’s punching bag in his anger.

Jiuding understood this principle; as long as they could overcome this hurdle, Jiuyuan could still be the Emperor’s favored concubine.

However, the situation was now spiraling out of control, and Jiuding’s gaze sharpened as he considered his options.

He approached the young Emperor, his expression grave, and said, “Emperor, should we still release ‘Emperor’s Annihilation’? Even if we kill them all, it might be too late to undo this…”

In truth, Jiuding wanted to persuade the young Emperor to preserve some dignity in his defeat.

But he also knew that saying such things at this time could easily lead to his immediate death!

Jiuyuan was unharmed because they had spent so much time together and had developed some affection for each other, but he was different!

Upon hearing this, the young emperor turned his head, the veins on his neck clearly visible in his rage. His eyes widened, and he snarled,

“I don’t seek to reclaim anything. There’s no turning back now. Having made my choice, I must exterminate them all!”

“Because this is my imperial path. Even if my reputation is ruined, my imperial path will still remain!”

“After this ordeal, I will still reach the pinnacle, achieving the incomparably heaven-defying body of a light-year cosmic god!”

“And Li Tianming will perish, leaving nothing behind. His so-called imperial path will become a complete joke!”

“Now, for my Li clan, I have indeed ruined my reputation.”

“But after this outcome, at least everyone will know that the Li clan… is not to be trifled with!”

“Otherwise—die!!!”

The young emperor grew increasingly agitated, finally erupting into a roar, and even the Nine Cauldrons were startled back half a step.

The moment the young emperor uttered his last word—

he forcefully activated the ‘Emperor’s Annihilation’ device!

“Roar!!!”

At this moment, the Little Emperor Sky, hovering above the entire Old Capital, roared wildly.

Rumble!!

The entire Old Capital, and even a large portion of the Little Divine Treasure Star System, trembled uncontrollably.

The Little Emperor Sky, a cosmic starship shaped like a golden dragon, shone with golden light on every scale.

The power accumulated over a full quarter of an hour, under the roar of the golden dragon, transformed into an extremely thick golden pillar of light capable of distorting and deforming space!

If it were allowed to bombard the Old Capital normally, almost the entire Old Capital would be submerged and reduced to ashes!

Meanwhile, outside the Old Capital,

the Divine Treasure Clan Emperor was leading the vast majority of the Divine Treasure Clan in their efforts to break through the ‘Sealed Demon Star Prison,’ pushing themselves to the point where the power of the God of the Universe was almost exhausted.

But at this moment!

A dazzling golden light shone upon their ashen faces, and a terrifying power, so powerful it seemed they could smell death, emanated from them.

“Wh…what?!”

“Is it too late?”

Many members of the Divine Treasure Clan collapsed to the ground in despair, their various treasures falling to the ground.

“Ah!!!”

The Divine Treasure Clan Emperor covered his face with his withered hands and wept bitterly, overwhelmed by deep despair and feeling utterly powerless.

He, the man who had been the backbone of the Divine Treasure Clan, was now so weak that he knelt down!

“Yu’er!!”

“It’s my incompetence that I had to rely on you to secure the opportunity to take in refugees, and now I still haven’t been able to save you…”

“I hate you! The Li Clan, I will never forgive you!”

the Divine Treasure Clan Emperor cried out in anguish.

At this moment, Consort Yan stood to the side, already weeping uncontrollably, unable to speak.

Ji Yu was also her daughter!

For the Divine Treasure Clan Emperor, she was a daughter born late in life, and he cherished her like a precious jewel.

But now, perhaps they would be separated by death!

How could they not be heartbroken!

But at this moment, it was a crisis for their race, and also for their benefactor, Li Tianming. Their grief wasn’t just for their daughter.

The Divine Treasure Clan Emperor wept, “Governor Li was a good man, and good people shouldn’t end like this!”

At this moment, the Grand Preceptor Ji Feng, standing beside him, said with a profound gaze:

“After the young Emperor has done all this, he will eventually leave, won’t he?”

“He has no powerful allies by his side now, does he?”

“If the Li Clan doesn’t come to his aid, we can definitely keep him in the old capital and avenge all those who died there!”

This refined Grand Preceptor’s eyes now blazed with overwhelming killing intent!

For nearly a million years, the Divine Treasure Clan had survived countless wars under his leadership and that of the Divine Treasure Clan Emperor.

He deeply loved the people of Divine Treasure, but now someone wanted to treat them like straw dogs—this was something he absolutely could not tolerate!

Li Tianming, who had saved the Shenzang Clan from disaster several times, was also his benefactor. Ji Feng would never allow anyone to harm him and then leave!
