Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7197

Chapter 7109: The Nine-Meridian Imperial Clan

At this moment, on the Myriad Emperors Ranking in the center of the Myriad Emperors Palace, Li Tianming’s ranking instantly soared, finally settling at thirty-first place!

His name shone with golden light on the black stone tablet!

In reality, Xingyan’s original ranking was twenty-fifth, and before their battle, Li Tianming had fought over a hundred matches to reach forty-first.

Now, with just one match, he had climbed ten places!

This was the reward for defeating a stronger opponent!

Seeing Li Tianming step down from the stage, Jiang Beichen, Yu Shang, and the others surrounded him, their faces beaming with joy.

“Congratulations, Junior Brother Li! I’m so happy for you to have grown to this level,” Yu Shang said happily.

“Sigh, it’s truly infuriating to compare ourselves to others. We were evenly matched back then, but now the gap has widened so much,” Jiang Beichen shook his head with worry.

“Senior Brother Jiang, don’t be discouraged. We’re both still young; perhaps your opportunity will come someday,” Li Tianming smiled.

“Sigh, I’ve come to terms with it. Your talent can’t be compared to others your age; it’s just too freakish!” Jiang Beichen said speechlessly.

…

Next, Li Tianming continued participating in the Ten Thousand Emperors Battle while honing his swordsmanship as he waited for the monthly opportunity to participate.

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, Li Tianming had been participating in the Ten Thousand Emperors Battle for nearly forty years…

During these nearly forty years, Li Tianming had basically encountered opponents below the second-tier Heavenly Venerable level, and most of them were even Dao Ancestors.

“I’m stuck in this situation again. None of them can withstand a single move from Little Li. There aren’t any suitable opponents,” Sui Shenyao said listlessly. Aurora

said gently, “Be patient, maybe you’ll meet one in the next round…”

Li Tianming also said helplessly, “There’s nothing I can do. At this level, very few people will try to climb the rankings, and we’ve already encountered quite a few first- and second-tier Heavenly Venerables before, so we’re already considered lucky.” Li Tianming

‘s biggest goal was still Emperor Points, but these opponents didn’t have many Emperor Points to begin with, and Li Tianming could only obtain one-tenth of the opponent’s Emperor Points for each victory.

Li Tianming has now won for forty consecutive years, and after hundreds of battles, he has only managed to climb to eleventh place on the Myriad Emperors Ranking. The

gap between the top ten and the bottom ten on the Myriad Emperors Ranking is actually a much larger dividing line!

The difference in Emperor Points between those ten places is likely several times greater!

Meanwhile, news of Li Tianming’s nearly forty-year winning streak spread, and more and more people flocked to the Myriad Emperors Palace, all driven by curiosity.

It can be said that the Myriad Emperors Palace is always the most bustling place with Li Tianming around.

“So far, the strongest opponent Li Tianming has encountered is Senior Sister Xingyan, but it always feels like he hasn’t given it his all. When will we arrange another strong opponent for him?” someone asked.

“The Emperor Points gap between eleventh and tenth place is simply too large. If no opponent with more Emperor Points appears, at his current rate of scoring, it will probably take a hundred years to move up another place…”

“That’s too much of a waste of time, isn’t it?”

“That’s how it should be. That’s why those ranked higher generally don’t want to fight.”

At this moment, two people quietly arrived at the private room on the high platform.

Among them were Jiu Huang and Wei Shendao!

“This Li Tianming seems a bit strange…” Wei Shendao frowned after watching several battles.

Jiuhuang, hearing this, asked with some doubt, “What’s strange about him?”

“When he crushed the young Emperor, his combat power had already reached the fourth-tier Heavenly Venerable level. After returning to the sect, he cultivated on the Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Pillar again, so he should be a fifth-tier Heavenly Venerable. In that case, defeating Xingyan shouldn’t have been so difficult…” Wei Shendao said with a deep gaze.

At this moment, Jiuhuang said with a wry smile, “Although Li Tianming has always been a prodigy, aren’t you being a bit too bold in your assessment of him? Even if the first time on the Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Pillar had a better effect, it’s rare for someone to break through in fifty years, let alone this isn’t his first time.”

Pfft!

Wei Shendao chuckled at himself, “That’s true, I was just being delusional.”

Meanwhile, Li Tianming was still waiting below the Emperor’s Battle Arena for his chance to participate in the battle.

In his accompanying space, Yin Chen suddenly said, “So many people are paying attention to you, including powerful figures and disciples.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming’s face showed a satisfied smile.

“Although I’m still a bit short of my goal in the rankings, I’ve successfully drawn most people’s attention to me and the competition among geniuses within the Heavenly Emperor Sect. Fewer and fewer people are paying attention to the Greater and Lesser Divine Treasure Star Systems and Ling’er, which is a good thing,” Li Tianming thought to himself.

This was also one of Li Tianming’s goals in his ranking campaign. His original plan was to at least break into the top ten, but he had achieved it ahead of schedule.

Of course, everyone knew that he had the strength to break into the top ten, but so far he hadn’t encountered any top-ten opponents to prove it.

“Although Li Tianming is only under ten thousand years old, his terrifying performance already makes his age irrelevant. He can be called the number one in the outer sect!” someone said in the crowd.

“The top ten on the Emperor Ranking are mostly over two hundred thousand years old, but Li Tianming is only under ten thousand years old yet he can almost challenge the top ten. It’s truly terrifying!”

No one dared to refute the respect people held for Li Tianming’s strength.

Perhaps many still disliked Li Tianming, but no one could find fault with his power!

This was a reputation built up through countless battles, a fame earned through real combat!

Finally!

A month passed, and Li Tianming decisively stepped onto the golden circle and ascended the Emperor’s Battle Platform.

*Buzz—*

At that moment, his opponent appeared almost simultaneously!

The golden light of the teleportation array before him dissipated, finally revealing a figure.

“This is…” Li Tianming was somewhat surprised.

The opponent before him had an extremely peculiar appearance!

This person was barefoot, suspended in mid-air, wearing a white robe with golden patterns.

There was a pair of eyes on the backs of his hands, the backs of his feet, his back, and his face.

In fact, upon closer inspection, one would discover that these were all Primordial Pupils!

On his chest was a massive Primordial Pupil, swirling in shape, seemingly possessing the power to devour a galaxy!

“Nine Primordial Pupils!” Li Tianming exclaimed in shock.

“We actually encountered this race?” Aurora was also slightly surprised.

“Auntie, what race is this?” Li Tianming immediately asked.

Aurora smiled gently, “Of course there are. I’m just a little surprised because the probability of you encountering him is actually not high.”

“What do you mean?” Li Tianming asked, puzzled.

“This is one of the Nine-Pulse Imperial Clans among the Guardian Imperial Clans, and their members are arguably the fewest among the nine Guardian Imperial Clans. They rarely show themselves, so it’s difficult to see them…” Aurora explained.

“Nine-Pulse Imperial Clans? It sounds somewhat similar to the Nine-Star Imperial Clans. Could it be that they have nine pulse fields?” Li Tianming frowned slightly.
