Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7163

Chapter 7074: Unwilling!

At this moment, a sorrowful atmosphere permeated all the Divine Treasure Clan gathered outside the old capital.

“We’ve tried so hard, and it’s all in vain! We can’t even see our compatriots, can we even see Governor Li! How can I accept this?” one Divine Treasure Clan member cried, collapsing in despair.

Many Divine Treasure Clan members had come not only to break the seal on the old capital and rescue their compatriots, but also, like a pilgrim, to see this legendary governor!

But now, even just seeing him seemed like a luxury!

“The ‘Emperor’s Annihilation’ is about to fall; everything is about to become a mirage, ultimately a regret…” one Divine Treasure Clan member said with deep sorrow.

Countless Divine Treasure Clan members wept, only able to gaze at the old capital, which shone with golden light, seemingly magnificent but actually filled with despair.

“If we lose Governor Li’s protection, we might fall into the hands of the young Emperor. What will become of us then?” someone asked, lost in thought.

“Perhaps he might continue with his extermination plan, perhaps he’ll use us as slaves, but to be slaves to our enemy is worse than death!” someone said, their eyes bloodshot.

Thinking of this outcome, countless members of the Divine Treasure Clan outside the Old Capital felt a surge of rage; this was absolutely intolerable!

“Things have come to this, we have no other choice but to launch another clan-wide war!”

“But no matter how we seek revenge, what we’ve lost today, we can never get back…”

The Divine Treasure Clan outside the Old Capital, who had originally come to its aid, were now shrouded in despair, feeling utterly powerless.

At this moment!

Within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, in the Palace of Ten Thousand Emperors!

When the footage of this final, devastating blow returned, countless disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect were almost stunned, their eyes wide with shock.

“He actually…is really going to unleash the Emperor’s Annihilation!!”

“Does this young Emperor know what he’s doing?!”

“Even if he hates Li Tianming, there are still many members of the Heavenly Emperor Sect in the old capital…”

“I thought he was just bluffing Li Tianming, but I didn’t expect it to actually come to this!”

Countless disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect were shocked, but also felt sorry for Li Tianming and the others.

Zhang Qingqing, Jiang Beichen, Yu Shang, and others who knew Li Tianming, as well as some disciples who had left the Heavenly Fate Army and returned to the Heavenly Emperor Sect, were so saddened that they almost dared not look at the images!

Zhang Qingqing closed her eyes tightly, praying for Li Tianming in her heart.

“Junior Brother Li, please don’t fall here…”

“You are the only Emperor!”

“You are the number one in the outer sect, how could you be defeated by such scum who violates the rules? You must still have a plan, right?”

She kept trying to comfort herself, but in fact, she found it hard to deceive herself!

Because she also knew that once the ‘Emperor’s Annihilation’ was unleashed, there was no turning back, and even the Supreme Emperor Ancestor might not be able to change the outcome!

The combat power above the top-tier Celestial Venerable level seems to be the limit outside of the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

Without the resources of the Heavenly Emperor Sect for cultivation, it’s difficult to produce combat power at the level of a Supreme Emperor Ancestor!

At this moment!

The broadcast image was almost completely filled with golden light, making it difficult to see the scene clearly.

Jiang Beichen said indignantly, “What kind of bullshit Emperor Venerable is this? He can’t beat Governor Li in a fight, so he resorts to cheating, and when he loses, he destroys the evidence. It’s truly pathetic! I used to admire him so much and regarded him as a role model for cultivation, but now it seems he’s not even as good as Governor Li!”

This feeling of his former idol crumbling little by little in his heart made him extremely unhappy!

Seeing this scene, Yu Shang’s expression was extremely solemn. She frowned deeply and said,

“There are still many fellow disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect in the old capital, and even some who protect the imperial clan. To wipe them out so easily, the young emperor is far too lawless!”

“Even an absolute monarch is subject to remonstrance for wrongdoing, let alone someone from the Li imperial clan still vying for power. This shows utter disregard for the lives of the Heavenly Emperor Sect members.”

“His actions are akin to trading his future for Junior Brother Li’s life, taking everything that belongs to Junior Brother Li!”

Yu Shang, witnessing this, was equally enraged. In her heart, the young emperor’s standing plummeted!

And many others in the Heavenly Emperor Sect shared her sentiment.

At this moment, it was clear that most people in the Heavenly Emperor Sect were cursing the young emperor; his actions were simply too outrageous and utterly unbecoming!

Otherwise, the imperial prestige he had cultivated wouldn’t have collapsed so quickly!

Meanwhile, in the Young Emperor’s Palace…

Both Mo Huan and the Tower Master of Moyu Tower were watching the scenes in the old capital through the images transmitted from the front lines.

“Father, do you think Tianming’s elders might not be here at all? Facing an attack of this magnitude, Tianming is still in danger…” Mo Huan said worriedly.

The Tower Master of Moyu Tower remained calm, saying, “Based on my observation of Li Tianming, he won’t do anything he’s not confident about. I’ve never even seen him panic over anything. So, I guess he’ll survive, but how exactly is uncertain.”

Hearing this, Mo Huan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but a lingering worry remained.

She nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, her bright black eyes fixed on the images.

Her feelings were complex; she was actually somewhat relieved to have withdrawn from the Tianming Army early, but her current worry for Li Tianming and Li Muyun in the old capital was genuine.

Seeing this, the Tower Master of Moyu Tower sighed silently.

Some relationships, once missed, are truly missed forever. He’s reached an age where he’s long since come to terms with it, but Mo Huan is still young; perhaps it will take her a long time to let go.

These are things she needs to understand for herself…

Inside the Emperor’s Heaven Pavilion!

Wei Shendao, gazing at the divine power released by ‘Emperor’s Heaven Annihilation,’ said with profound meaning:

“No matter how glorious a person’s life is, once they die, everything will turn to nothingness.”

“Having made so many efforts, you still have to die in the end. This is the consequence of opposing the Li imperial clan.”

“But who can you blame? You had several opportunities to leave, but you didn’t seize them…”

At this moment, Jiu Huang frowned deeply, thinking to herself, “This kid always manages to create one miracle after another. Now, can he create another miracle? It’s probably very difficult…”

Even though she supported Li Tianming’s resistance against the young emperor’s tyranny, she found it hard to think of any other way for Li Tianming to deal with it.

Meanwhile, inside the old capital!

Faced with the golden pillar of light erupting from the Little Emperor’s Sky, distorting space and threatening to destroy everything, all the Divine Treasure Clan members and the Heavenly Mandate Army were momentarily stunned into silence!

The golden light filled every corner of the old capital, reflecting on the expressions of the crowd—some terrified, some indifferent, some resigned to their fate.

“No!!!”

“We haven’t even joined Governor Li on our journey to a future full of hope and light, are we really going to be buried here?”

“I’m not reconciled! We’ve faced crisis after crisis, Governor Li has defeated the young Emperor so many times, yet we still face this ending!”

The millions of Divine Treasure Clan members in the old capital cried out in grief, their resentment uncontrollable.

Perhaps only those who have come so close to hope truly appreciate it when it’s lost!

If the Divine Treasure Clan had remained forever miserable, targeted, and attacked, they would have only numbly taken up arms to resist and then perished; they wouldn’t have felt such intense emotions.

However, Li Tianming led them through one desperate situation after another, allowing them to see hope for the survival of their race on several occasions…

But now, all of that hope is destroyed by the young emperor’s reckless rage!
