Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7264

Chapter 7178: The Overlord Returns

Before receiving any news about the last crystal in the Ancestral Emperor’s Tomb, Li Tianming received a message from Lin Xiaoxiao relayed by Yin Chen.

“Xiaoxiao, say shoot, the ray is fast, use it, it’s over.”

Li Tianming had just finished a battle against ten thousand emperors when he heard Yin Chen say this in his companion space.

At this moment, Li Tianming avoided the crowd, found a secluded corner, returned to the Burning Spirit Realm via Zizhen’s Boundary Planet, and then arrived at the Illusion Whale within the Demon Nest via the Fixed Space Butterfly.

At this time, Lin Xiaoxiao wasn’t outside absorbing the Primordial Demon Rays to refine honey; she was inside the Illusion Whale.

“There’s only a tiny bit of Primordial Demon Ray left at this location, and unfortunately, another Primordial Demon discovered it and occupied it. Wu You and I were having a hard time dealing with it, so we retreated first,” Lin Xiaoxiao said, pursing her lips slightly.

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao and pulled her outside, sneering, “Dare to steal my woman’s things? I’m being lenient by not stealing from them!”

Once outside the Illusion Whale, Li Tianming saw that a colossal ancient demon had indeed taken their place.

Its blood-red eyes revealed the Eightfold Heavenly Fate Reincarnation!

An ancient demon with the Eightfold Heavenly Fate Reincarnation, and nearing maturity, was someone Li Tianming could handle.

Although Lin Xiaoxiao possessed the even more terrifying Sixteenfold Heavenly Fate Reincarnation, in this race, she and Wu You were still considered juveniles, far from mature, so their cultivation levels were relatively limited.

However, what was even more precious to them was their incredibly high cultivation ceiling, representing their talent.

In this universe, there was no one else, so Li Tianming didn’t need to hide his identity as a companion beast tamer.

His companion beasts, including Yinghuo Miaomiao, were also fighting directly in their true forms, something they hadn’t done in a long time.

“Brothers, charge!” Yinghuo cried out, leading the charge out of the companion space.

Vast swirling flames of purgatory rained down upon the cosmos. The Primordial Demon, in the majestic form of an Eternal Purgatory Phoenix, swooped down before it, unleashing sword-shaped feathers aimed directly at its eyes.

However, this Primordial Demon was no weakling. While consuming the Primordial Demon Rays, it had also cautiously observed its surroundings, swiftly dodging the firefly’s attack.

The Primordial Demon looked up and, upon seeing Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao, was first stunned, then erupted in boundless rage!

Roar! Roar!

It roared furiously at Li Tianming.

It could sense a familiar aura from Lin Xiaoxiao, but towards Li Tianming, its fury was truly boundless.

Because within the entire demonic tide, almost no other race could enter; even the Heavenly Emperor Sect, with the lives of many star system inhabitants, had failed to break through.

Yet now, it had directly witnessed the appearance of a white-haired, golden-eyed human youth. How could it not be enraged?

Facing the enraged Primordial Demon, Li Tianming calmly said, “We still need to deal with it quickly. Although it’s not a threat, it might attract its companions soon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, almost all the other companion beasts rushed out.

Meow Meow transformed into the ‘Emperor Demon Chaos’ lion-tiger-leopard behemoth form, tearing at the Primordial Demon with its sharp claws and teeth.

Lan Huang roared,

“Take this, Grandpa Lan Huang!”

and with his terrifying mountain and sea behemoth body, he slammed into the Primordial Demon’s body, knocking it over!

The Primordial Demon had clearly underestimated Lan Huang’s power.

Lan Huang cursed, “You think you’re Sister Wu You? The only Primordial Demon that can make me gentle is this thing!”

At this moment, Wu You and Lin Xiaoxiao also joined the fray. They weren’t incapable of fighting, but they were struggling, so they naturally had to help.

Wu You cursed, “You damn turtle, can’t you shut up?!”

“Fine,” Lan Huang immediately replied, and then truly fell silent.

“Pfft!” Yinghuo exclaimed, feigning coughing up blood, “My devoted turtle brother… can’t you be a little tougher?”

At this moment, Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao, the two companion beast tamers, had actually formed a siege against this ancient demon!

Xianxian’s massive, sky-covering Origin World Tree manifested, instantly extending countless branches that, like cuttings, completely restrained the ancient demon.

The three little six beasts simultaneously unleashed their enhanced divine abilities, strengthened by their pulse field and astral field.

Cloud Dream Chaos Realm!

Nightmare Land!

In an instant, the ancient demon, trapped, experienced a moment of mental confusion.

Li Tianming, wielding the Eastern Emperor Heavy Sword, stood before the Illusion Whale, facing this ancient demon undergoing the Eightfold Heavenly Reincarnation, and closed his eyes.

A mysterious aura condensed around Li Tianming, and under the combined effect of astral and pulse field power, the Eastern Emperor Sword emitted a dazzling, colorful glow!

As he suddenly opened his eyes, a powerful vortex, condensing all the power of the Cosmic Gods, the power of the Astral Realm, and the power of the Pulse Field, erupted from Li Tianming in a mysterious fusion, slowly diverting the countless galactic meteorites and Dao minerals surrounding him to both sides.

At this moment, divine power shone from Li Tianming’s golden and black pupils!

He wielded the Eastern Emperor Sword, leaving countless afterimages in space!

Among them were the shadows of ‘Painting the Kingdom,’ the essence of ‘Dragon Slayer,’ and the majesty of ‘Peerless’!

In a short time, seemingly casually swinging the heavy sword a few times, Li Tianming had already unleashed all eight combined sword techniques he had previously learned!

And these countless sword shadows eventually slowly merged together, converging into the Eastern Emperor Sword. This was the ninth sword—Overlord—the strongest, condensing all the essence of the eight swords in the first path of the Chaos Sword Dao

!

As Li Tianming swung his sword!

Boom!!

In an instant, even the cosmic rays and Dao clouds seemed unstable, and space itself trembled uncontrollably.

With all of Li Tianming’s power amplified, this sword strike slashed towards the completely immobile Primordial Demon, transforming into a multicolored blade!

*Whoosh*—the

moment this multicolored blade touched the Primordial Demon, it pierced through it like cutting through tofu, without any resistance.

“Brothers and sisters, retreat!” Yinghuo shouted.

In that instant, all the companion beasts, including Wuyou and Lin Xiaoxiao, retreated violently, moving away from the center of the storm.

The anticipated explosion did not occur. Instead, the Primordial Demon, as if assimilated by the imagery of Li Tianming’s sword strike, slowly turned colorful and began to glow.

However, both the sword blade and the body of the ancient demon slowly dissipated and vanished at the same time, leaving behind only emptiness…

This was the ultimate application of swordsmanship and sword intent, capable of fundamentally disintegrating the opponent’s body without requiring earth-shattering scenes.

And this was the most essential sword strike, condensing the first eight swords of the first path of the Chaos Sword Dao!
