Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7231

Chapter 7144: Annihilation

Boom!!!

A colossal pillar of dark energy, hundreds of light-years in diameter, poured forth from Xiao Jiu’s mouth, instantly shattering endless ores and galactic meteorites, reducing them to dust.

Even the Supreme Ancestor and Holy Emperor of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan, beings with strength below the light-year mark, were instantly dissolved upon contact with this pillar of dark energy!

“Ah!!!”

“Lord Emperor Beast!”

The cosmic god bodies of most of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan’s powerful members vanished instantly, ultimately coalescing into cosmic god essences drifting in space.

A scene of utter devastation filled the air!

The powerful figures from the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan were all too terrified to move, fearing they would be annihilated along with their Cosmic God origins, vanishing from the world forever…

“Lord Emperor Beast, disturbing you was not our intention!”

“We originally intended to help you clean out these parasites from your ‘food,’ but we never expected you to be here. If you dislike our interference, we will leave immediately…”

“We truly dare not disturb you again; we will never set foot in your territory again!”

With these Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan members being less than a light-year in strength, resistance against Xiao Jiu was clearly futile!

At this moment, hundreds of Cosmic God origins from the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan trembled and begged for mercy; to survive, they had no other choice!

However, facing their pleas, Xiao Jiu’s gaze remained cold, unmoved by their words whatsoever!

It was now filled with rage at having its appetite disrupted, and only wanted to vent!

And these culprits who had provoked its anger were undeniably responsible!

It can only be said that Yin Chen poured oil on Xiao Jiu’s already raging anger, making the fire burn even brighter!

But clearly, what they had done so far was not enough for Xiao Jiu to vent her frustration!

Previously, even though the six light-year-level powerhouses tried their best to dodge and escape Xiao Jiu’s attacks, half of their bodies were still blasted away by the dark energy.

Only with their light-year-level strength could they barely maintain their near-collapsed Cosmic God bodies and prevent them from being blasted out of their Cosmic God origins.

But now, they were not in a good state either, but were suffering continuous torment!

“This dark energy is strange!”

“It seems to be alive? That’s impossible!”

“Why can this dark energy bombard us a second time?”

Their expressions were all twisted in pain. Even though they had restored their Cosmic God bodies with the Origin Spirit Spring, the dark energy had already entered their bodies, and they were almost beyond saving!

Perhaps there was one possibility, which was to directly dissipate their Cosmic God bodies and reshape their bodies.

But in the process of re-condensing, they would become lambs to the slaughter, no different from surrendering without resistance!

Screams of agony rang out from their mouths, this pain almost penetrating their souls!

This energy is almost indestructible. At this moment, the dark energy is like a constant bombardment within their bodies. They can only recover with the Origin Spring while simultaneously facing new destruction.

Destruction and rebirth occur simultaneously. The dark energy erupts from within, shattering their bodies and releasing bursts of black energy.

This is the source of intense pain!

During this process, their appearance gradually turns black—a consequence of being invaded by the dark energy!

However, this is different from the state of the Divine Treasure Clan or the fusion of Li Tianming and Xiao Jiu!

Those two can utilize the power of the Divine Treasure, and Li Tianming’s own power is even overshadowed by it.

But for them, their own power clashes and fights against the dark energy within their bodies, resulting in their Cosmic God bodies becoming increasingly broken and gradually leading to annihilation!

However, Xiao Jiu doesn’t care how much they suffer or how desperate they are.

To it, this is all deserved—interrupting its feeding and running rampant in its territory!

At this moment, facing the remaining six light-year-old powerhouses who hadn’t yet unleashed their full potential as Cosmic Gods, Xiao Jiu’s colossal figure, spanning over ten light-years, slowly approached them.

In the real universe, Xiao Jiu roamed like a dark universe, obscuring the original appearance of space.

Its existence wasn’t to replace the universe; dark energy itself was a part of the universe.

Faced with the approaching Xiao Jiu, whose eyes gleamed coldly, the six light-year-old Cosmic Gods were even more terrified.

They had already endured one of Xiao Jiu’s dark energy breaths; if Xiao Jiu attacked again, even light-year-old Cosmic Gods would at least unleash their Cosmic God potential.

At that point, they would have no chance to escape; even Li Tianming, with his Celestial Venerable-level combat power, could easily subdue them.

At this moment!

The black-robed elder, drenched in sweat, trembled as he pleaded, “Lord Emperor Beast, we’ll leave immediately. Please spare the lives of my Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan! We truly cannot afford further losses…”

The other light-year-old experts, enduring their injuries, also knelt and kowtowed, their faces streaked with starlight blood.

“Let’s pretend we were never here. Whether you remain here or in the Heavenly Emperor Sect, our Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan will offer you tribute.”

“If you have any complaints, please let us know… We’ve already learned our lesson; there’s no need to exterminate us, is there?”

“We’ll release them immediately and will not harm anyone in this star system. Please forgive our offense…”

They couldn’t fathom Xiao Jiu’s attitude towards the Divine Treasury Clan, but whether it was offering to release them or helping to annihilate them, Xiao Jiu’s expression remained almost unchanged.

Compared to bargaining, no matter how harsh the conditions, nothing was as despairing as this, devoid of hope.

What they found even more incomprehensible was that Xiao Jiu, who had instantly annihilated hundreds of powerful members of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan, hadn’t even glanced at Li Tianming once!

At this moment, Li Tianming and Jiang Feiling stood by, arms crossed, silently watching everything, like outsiders.

The white-robed, light-year-old woman raised her dragon-headed cane, pointing it at Li Tianming. She glared at Xiao Jiu, saying, “Lord Emperor Beast, this man named Li Tianming, while you were away, actually attempted to rule the Divine Treasure Star System and monopolize all the Divine Treasure Stone reserves. We were actually here for your sake, to retrieve the Divine Treasure Stones for you. He is the real sinner!”

Jiang Feiling, seeing this, subtly curved her lips into a smile, as if she hadn’t heard the provocation.

Xiao Jiu indeed turned her gaze to Li Tianming, who met her speechless stare.

Seeing Xiao Jiu’s attention shift, the white-robed old woman became even more agitated, saying, “It’s him, Lord Emperor Beast! We have no ill intentions towards you, please spare us, but he has committed crimes that are unforgivable!”

Li Tianming smiled and said, “I was unaware that Lord Emperor Beast had this hobby of devouring Divine Treasure Stones. If I had known earlier, I should have made offerings to Lord Emperor Beast at the Heavenly Emperor Sect. I hope Lord Emperor Beast will not take it to heart.”

Xiao Jiu slowly withdrew her gaze without any reaction, as if nothing had happened.
