Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 3017 - Close Combat Against a Specter

Chapter 3017 - Close Combat Against a Specter

At that moment, Huang Jihuang's astrons expanded. Like Zi Zhen, he grew to a height of ten meters while still retaining incredible astron density! His golden skin looked even more s.h.i.+ny and metallic. His spike-covered tail forked into ninety-nine different tails, all of them capable of being used like steel whips. His claws and fangs turned into sharp blades that could rival cosmic artifacts in hardness and his head changed to that of a leopard's. His curly long hair began burning bright and tall, making him look even more intense than Li Fan.

Along with that were other basic changes that skyghouls were capable of. His eyes remained the same, save for a ghastly crimson one that appeared between the two eyes on his forehead, complete with three irises that looked incredibly fiendish and filled the surroundings with a deathly presence. He had three eyes and five irises, while Li Fan had two eyes and four irises. Zi Zhen, on the other hand, had six irises in each eye, which Li Fan called 'hexapath eyes'. With a great roar, he pulsed with a murderous aura. He had never shown this form since entering the Skyward Grandpath.

"The fact that you forced me to show my three eyes and five irises is something you can be proud of." Huang Jihuang's power had immensely surged. He turned his eyes toward Tianming and savagely smirked, yet the only thing that answered him were Xia words!

Tianming's eyes had nothing but coldness and savagery. He locked the grand lexicon wonder on Huang Jihuang and let the 999 Xia words spread across his flesh and cosmic charts, causing his body to begin crumbling!

"Huh?" Huang Jihuang immediately recalled that this was the divine wonder that had killed Ji Qianqian. Enraged, he surged the cosm.o.f.orce and power of order within his body. The Xia words trembled from the sudden influx of energy.

"As expected of a genius of Myriadpath Valley. In the Infinitum Mundus, he'd be able to take on eighth-level cosmic cartographers!" Anyone who was capable of reaching that level was no doubt a top genius in their respective mundus. The fact that Huang Jihuang could be so powerful when he only had six cosmic charts was a sign that he had benefited from being born in Myriadpath Valley.

But alas, that power was nothing to Tianming!

Even though the Xia words weren't able to completely lock down Huang Jihuang's power, the divine wonder was but a single tool in Tianming's a.r.s.enal. He charged in and let his beasts' abilities fly. Those who didn't know better would think that he was a specter, but it was clear from his starless eyes that he wasn't! Huang Jihuang, on the other hand, had a star count of three million, a sign of his prime background.

The abilities from two sides clashed. Tianming's fire, lightning, and plants clashed with the blaze and blood of his enemy, scattering the fog around them.

"A tainted beastmaster?" Huang Jihuang laughed as a look of derision formed on his face. Right as he doubted the power of Tianming's abilities, Ying Huo and Meow Meow's blasts tore through Huang Jihuang's attacks and struck him, causing him to shriek from the shock and burn! His metallic body was charred black.

"Curses! How dare you?!" He raged even harder. Right after he broke free from the divine wonder, Tianming came cras.h.i.+ng down from the sky. Huang Jihuang frantically blocked the Grand-Orient Sword, only for Tianming's leg to slam into his jaw.

"Trying to get into close combat with a specter, eh?!" Huang Jihuang smirked, but it was quickly cut short by Lan Huang’s spiked-covered scales on Tiaming’s leg. His chin and half his head shattered from the blow as Tianming sent his ten-meter-tall body flying off like a cartwheel in the air, drawing a trail of golden flames and starlight.

Huang Jihuang was absolutely stupefied. Tianming's kick was comparable, if not superior to that of a specter, and his leg was no weaker than Huang Jihuang's own! It was the first time he had been so taken aback. "How could a beastmaster possibly have a body with such astron density?! That’s madness!"

Before he landed, the grand lexicon wonder came pestering him once more, much to his terror. Then Tianming delivered all the power he had into Huang Jihuang's body with the Grand-Orient Sword as the medium. Huang Jihuang finally believed that Tianming was serious about wanting to kill him.

He immediately stabilized himself and roared, "Brother, I was blind! I didn't think that you’d be such a worthy fighter! You know what they say, right? Friends are made through fights and struggles! Let's forget the senseless prattle of the woman and call it a day. Do me a solid and you'll be in the good graces of an inner valley disciple!"

Even though it was humiliating, especially with their seniors watching, Huang Jihuang hadn't imagined that he would change his tune so fast. Tianming's gaze was just so terrifying that he couldn't help himself.

Fool! One day, I’ll make sure to kill you for humiliating me like this! There was no need for him to dirty his own hands on a tainted beastmaster. That was how he consoled himself. He would never admit that he had been terrified into submission by Tianming's gaze.

Yet even though he thought that he had given Tianming a perfect excuse to step down in good standing, he didn't expect the divine wonder's pressure to intensify even further. Tianming didn't stop and came charging with speed, precision, and ferocity! He gripped the Grand-Orient Sword with both hands and channeled all his energy into it. Six imperatores followed in his wake like mirages. The sword projection that formed came cras.h.i.+ng down along with the attacks of the divine wonder and his lifebound beasts.

"What?!" Huang Jihuang simply couldn't comprehend the sight. "You're nothing but an animal from an outer mundus! I already prepared the perfect stage exit for you, yet you still dare to make a fuss?!"
